[ she races to the nearest cabinet and starts sifting through EVERYTHING. fuck being neat, she's panicked and her brobro is dying!!! ]
Okay, okay, uhh--you said bandages and a sling and disinfectant and a turneykey thingy? [ she starts mumbling "bandages, sling, disinfectant, turneykey" under her breath as she keeps rifling through everything. WHAT DOES SHE FIND? ]
[ turnekey... close enough. he calls out as loud as he can - ] Yeah.
[ and coughs up a little more blood. it's all good. back to tanaka, which is keeping him focused on not passing out. he is feeling very dizzy. ] ...Depends on what you're gonna tell me to do. Y'know, we - we did play with the dog like you said. And we did try to get the kid to back off, too. Shit just got... out of hand.
Did it get out of hand because we weren't... weren't listening? Or cause we were?
[ not for long they're not because Mabel is TEARING SHIT UP.
She grabs a bunch of the requisite shit and dumps it on the table. Minus the tourniquet because she has no idea what it looks like or what the hell it even is. She takes the disinfectant and approaches Ichiro. ]
Okay, I need to disinfect first, right? Um...this is...probably gonna hurt a lot. [ she starts absolutely dumping the stuff all over his injuries. ]
[ well he was going to say something to that - he fucking knew it, for starters - but then mabel is back, and then suddenly, there is just a lot happening. ]
Of course he's n--shit! [ mABEL
ichiro hisses, shutting his eyes tight and grimaces. ] I - careful, careful. Remind me to... ngh, to teach you first aid.
[ ow. okay. well. even in this situation he seems pretty patient. sometimes you are just a Big Brother, if it was anyone else this would be entirely different. ] Tie up the -- up here. [ pointing up, above the bite mark where the worst of it is, a little, the best he can. ] You... tried to tourniquet me when I didn't need it. Remember? That's what I want you to do. Need it now. Bad. Get some of the brown... the brown bandages, use those for now. Tie it tight.
[ please he does not want to die here. his arm is absolutely fucking atrocious looking i'm so sorry, mabel. googling wolf bites informed me that it ain't great chief. i'm not gonna spend forever on first aid because of pacing but first aid is happening.
there are no weird noises or anything right? just tanaka-san who is apparently vibing? ]
[ the urgency in Ichiro's voice terrifies her, but she forces herself back together and grabs the bandages in question, tying them in place where Ichiro pointed her and squeezing it tighter than you would think a little girl could. Just. Absolutely squeezing the bedevil out of this arm with a bandage.
Now disinfected, she goes ahead and bandages the rest of his wounds! And honestly, does a pretty good job of them. See, Ichiro, she DOES know first aid! A little!
And last but not least, she tries to maneuver the sling over his head for his arm, but it's. kinda clumsy. ]
[ thank you. that hurts like a motherfucker, actually - he does not black out or anything but has to grit his teeth so he doesn't shout and white knuckle the side of the medical table, and hard. sleeve torn off of his hoodie to keep things clean, he takes the sling from her and dips his head so he can pull it up and over for her and maneuver his incredibly painful arm into the sling. okay. cool. mabel gets a pale, exhausted, but still grateful smile. ]
... For now, yeah. When we get back, we're probably gonna... I'm gonna have to do something about it.
[ ... he wipes his good hand off on the paper on the exam table so its not covered in blood and then reaches over and ruffles mabel's hair the best he can. ] Pretty sure you just saved my life, so... thanks, Mabel-chan.
[ at least he probably won't lose his arm, now. he's reaching for whatever painkillers i'm assuming she grabbed to take like, four of them and then going to try and hop up and grab miku from his napping spot. ]
Let's get his scratches cleaned up, too. How's your foot? [ a beat. ] Hey, what are we doing at our apartment? Just going home?
[ Mabel accepts the ruffling and feels her heart swell with the pride of having done something to help!!! She's been so distracted with the first aid though that she almost forgot... ]
...oh, my foot. [ she looks down. It's. well it's not pumping blood, but it sure is still steadily leaking. Her path through the office can be traced by the pretty significant amount of blood she's been tracking behind. ]
...I should probably bandage that before we leave, huh.
[ she slowly starts to remove her shoe and peel away the bloodsoaked sock from her wounded foot, hissing and fighting through tears. Sometimes she has to take a break to bite her lip and stifle her cries. Eventually, though, her foot is bare. She stares at it, a slick mess of wet blood and gore, so messy she can hardly tell where her toes are. If they're still even there at all. She feels a little sick. ]
I...I have to disinfect this too? [ she phrases it like a question, almost as if maybe, if she just hopes hard enough, she can avoid that agony. ]
[ yeah. ugh, he wishes he didn't egt attacked by a STUPID WOLF so he could carry mabel, but i rolled a three? so tough shit. instead, once she gets settled, ichiro comes over to help her carefully, setting miku down on top of the operating table and moving to sit in front of her. he still can't do very much very quickly, too weak from blood loss, but!
he'll take care of mabel's foot, lips pursing unhappily at the sight. ] ...yeah. I'll be as quick as I can, okay?
[ for us and for also moving the cyoa. ] Look up at the ceiling and talk to me about, uh. [ oh god ] ...How's it going at Fall dorm? Do you like living there?
[ he guesses???? this works? oh god.
anyway time to disinfect her foot. ichiro's much more gentle, even with only one hand, and will try and distract her long enough that he can get the entire thing taken care of and bandaged up lickety split!
meanwhile: ] Is it just us at the apartment? Do we have any roommates? [ pay attention tanaka ]
[ Her lips thin out grimly and she does as instructed. Her voice wobbles as she talks. ]
Um...Fall's okay...there's--there's a lot more people there than I'm used to, and everyone's been really nice...but I still miss Summer a lot...
[ she pauses in her talking to cry out when the disinfectant hits the wound, because she is unused to such injuries and doesn't have the pain tolerance for it. By the time Ichiro's done wrapping it up, she feels exhausted and shaky, but she forces herself up. She continues on with pressure only on her heel (i said ball of her foot earlier but i meant heel), staying barefoot because her shoe's basically destroyed anyway. ]
...so we just have to walk one more block? And then we're okay...?
[ she'll grab Miku in her arms and start hobbling out. ]
[ good job!! he gives her a squeeze on the shoulder the best he can when they’re done. proud of u kid!! I’m writing that they disinfected miku too.
after that, Ichiro pushes himself up, nods, and pulls out his mic, putting his fingered through the knuckle rings. even if Tanaka didn’t power it up he can punch an invisible someone in the face if it’s necessary. speaking of Tanaka, too; that static is making him seriously wary. ]
Hey, dude, what’s up with you? Bad connection all of a sudden?
I'm fine! Just keep moving forward and get Miku home safe!
[ Into the night they go.
It's even darker now, with the lights in the buildings all mostly turned off as people slumber. The street lights are the only thing illuminating the path... almost a little eerily, since even other lights you'd normally expect to remain on in a city are switched off.
It starts to rain. It's light enough that they won't get soaked immediately, but they'll still be pretty wet before they reach whatever destination they're going to. In the distance, there is one apartment complex that still has lights on. ]
[ well. here they go. two very injured people and their also injured dog, hobbling sadly through the rain in the night to their apartment. it looks and feels very pitiful. ]
...do you think that one's supposed to be ours? [ pointing to the lit up complex ]
he squints, a little, and carefully nudges his hood up and back on top of his head as it begins to rain. terrible. if this is the only problem though, he’ll take it. at least none of his injuries are blatantly exposed now. ]
Think we’re supposed to follow the lights, yeah. Stay close, okay? [ he’s on as high alert as someone in his current situation can be, looking around warily and keeping his hand on his mic tight. ] ...‘s way too quiet.
Miku makes a whining noise, and he looks around. It's quiet enough that they can hear the far off sound of a truck engine turning on, but don't worry about that, it's not in their immediate vicinity.
They continue to move closer to the building. It remains brightly lit. ]
[ or like pretend I just called it "the voice" because i couldn't keep track of what was ic vs ooc knowledge, shhhh
anyway, Mabel has her guard up as anyone would after this hell adventure they've been on, but she's definitely more relaxed, feeling more like they're coming to a resting point. I, Lisa, however, am very paranoid about this truck engine now! hmmm.
Anyway I'm gonna say they're getting right up to the building's entrance now. Anything curious that's visible in there from the outside as they approach? ]
They'll also hear the truck again, and if they turn around, they'll see that it's right behind them. How did it get there without either of them noticing? It's a mystery.
ichiro also jumps about half a foot - his protective instincts kick in, he grabs mabel around the stomach and pushes into a tuck and roll to keep from getting hit?!
is there any alleyway or anything?! windows? ] Hey, it's our apartment, how the fuck do I get in?! Mabel, get your hook ready!
