( VOICE | DAY 32 PRE UVI ATTACK )

[enflame]

( Knowing there will soon be an attack on Aimintas, Emil made it a point to try and get the telepathic attention of the only friend he had from back home to make sure he was alright. After no response and a sharp pain in his signet, he'd set off to try and find Lalli, only to locate his comatose body in the deserted city.

It's not that he hasn't seen this before being that Lalli has Finnish Magic Weirdness running through his veins, but the fact that he knows there's apparently about to be some kind of attack later on in the day...Lalli please wake up, my man.

Things Emil has done to try and wake his friend up:

smooshing his face

holding his nose

slapping his face

shaking him gently

shaking him vigerously

yelling at him

trying to feed him fish

trying to feed him a bath bomb

Things that have worked:

none of the above

If he could have at the time, he probably would have asked more questions about Lalli's previous weird magic coma -- or maybe this is totally something different. Either way, Emil is panicking a little bit and he can already feel the heat of his magic going through his body. maybe being on fire will wake Lalli up )

Uhm...! ( His voice is shaky as it loudly broadcasts to the rest of the coven. Back home no one particularly gave a shit about Lalli being in a coma, but maybe someone here has more compassion. ) Can someone help me wake up my friend!?

( He knows you wanted to sleep bud, but now isn't exactly the time. )

Comments

voice.

[actus]

[ he recognizes this voice! it's the selfie-guy. ]

Did you splash water in his face?

[ this isn't helping akira. ]

[enflame]

No...I'll try, though.

( Emil had dragged his friend back to his Aimintas marketplace suite, and the location was rife with liquids...the first thing he finds isn't water but instead is some kind of juice, but that's fine for now.

He'll respond after soaking his friend's face in juice with no results. )

Does it have to be water?

[actus]

[ .... ]

Depends. What did you splash him with?

[ he'll be serious shortly, he promises. he doesn't realize the magnitude of the problem yet, or realize that emil is actually pretty distressed by this. ]

[enflame]

I don't know, some kind of juice. Fruit liquid of some sort!

( Because he doesn't know what the fuck this shit is other than it's sweet and syrupy and it didn't do jack shit. )

[actus]

Was it a juice box?

[ STOP. he hesitates after that, noticing the alarm (?) in emil's voice. ]

...Does he usually do this?

[splinten]

Oh fuckdammit.

[WHY NOW, LALLI. WHY GODDAMNED NOW]

Can you get him somewhere safe immediately?

[enflame]

( HE'S A DIFFICULT SHIT, THAT'S WHY )

I think we're safe? I've got protection equipment, anyway.

( Despite being useless a lot of the time, at least Emil is well equipped with amunition and bombs. He'd just rather not have to be mobile carrying his much faster friend around like a flour sack. )

[splinten]

[That's at least a relief. Aghhh]

Do you know what put him to sleep?

[enflame]

( ...................not really, uh. )

It has something to do with his mage-magic. Not the magic from the witch. It's happened before, but this is much more inconvenient!

( Well, the hair pulling hasn't started yet so the instances are about even. )

[teratias]

Bucket of cold water on the head?

[enflame]

I tried dumping juice on his face, but I don't know if that counts or not.

[teratias]

Maybe add ice?

[enflame]

Ah, maybe.

( It takes Emil a bit to find something with ice in it, and it doesn't help that he doesn't have anything to carry it in so he's almost melted it all by the time he gets back to dump it on Lalli's face, but again -- no dice. )

Nothing. Absolutely nothing!

[akumas]

Make a sacrifice to Hypnos to release your friend's sleeping spell.

[eva.]

[enflame]

Can you respond with something serious, please?

( At least he assumes it's not serious because what the fuck is a Hypnos. )

[akumas]

I am serious.

[But fine since Emil is legit worried here.]

Try waking your companion up from his slumber with something that smells strong. Like smoke from a fire.

[enflame]

( Well, he can set something on fire pretty easily....but that sounds kind of dangerous considering he doesn't know how far away something to put out the fire might be. )

Are you sure that will work? Isn't that kind of risky? ( He's not used to talking like this about his beloved fire, sorry my love. )

[talim]

[ never fear! enter doctor jude mathis. ]

I'm a doctor. Can I check his vitals?

[enflame]

Yeah, sure. Of course. ( Having a medic that's actually useful would be a nice change of pace. )

He's got a pulse, but I don't know what else to check.

[talim]

[ jude presses gentle fingertips to the soft flutter of a pulse on the inside of lalli's wrist, counting the beats in his head — one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. sure enough, the timing is off. his pulse is definitely there, like emil said, but it's slower than it should be.

for good measure, jude rests his hand atop lalli's ches next. just in case. there's nothing different; it's the same result, a faint pitter patter of a beating heart. he's not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, but as long as lalli's breathing is steady... ]

Wish I had a stethoscope on me... His pulse is a little slow, but it's nothing dangerous. Don't worry.

[ jude clears his throat and scans lalli up and down, observing him carefully. he doesn't take his eyes off him when he speaks again. ]

Does this, uh... Does this happen a lot?

[enflame]

Once. ( It suddenly jolts to him that he's only known Lalli for a short amount of time in the grand scheme of things. ) Well, that I know of. It has something to do with Finnish mages.

( Watching Jude examine Lalli gently, Emil suddenly thinks of something else to maybe mention, even though magic bullshit might not have anything to do with physical wellness. )

He had blood coming out of his nose. Oh, and here. ( He points to Lalli's tear ducts, though he'd cleared it away when he brought him into the suite area. )

[p_mortem]

He won't wake up?

[ ... ]

Sure he's not dead?

[ check for this first, then get back to him ]

[enflame]

( oh my god Minato that is not helpful )

Of course he's not dead! I'm not an idiot!

( Even though he's totally aware that Lalli is indeed alive and breathing, that doesn't stop Emil from igniting the juice box carcass he'd just used. Thankfully it's put out by smothering it with a big blanket. damn u minato )

[p_mortem]

[ Just checking!! His advice would be useless if the other person is dead, so he needed to make sure. ]

Then let him sleep. Sometimes people need to sleep for a week or two.

[enflame]

There are creatures about to attack us. Now isn't the time to sleep!

( Minato and Lalli would get along just fine....... )
