w1 friday, after cyoa 2 return

[malewife]

[ So, somewhere in the abode of Kim and Joonghyuk, the fish zombie head is still skewered and pinned to the ground somewhere by his sword while he's working on mending Dokja's wounds. With his first aid, he works fast and efficiently to clean up wounds, patch them, an arm sling, then drape TWO blankets over him. ]

A head injury worthy of a concussion, bruises, broken ribs, sprained right arm, hypothermia, and claw injuries.

[ laughtrack.mp3 Joonghyuk has a lot of medical knowledge. ]

This is light for one of your adventures.

[afterword]

[ For a moment, he laughs, only to hiss because ugh, that hurt. His smile is a little strained and he's a bit dazed but at least he's still awake. ]

Definitely have had a lot worse. [ ???? ???

In any case, Dokja's daemon is still in that of a black hogsnose snake and seems to be asleep around his neck. "Asleep." It's shifting now and then, but extremely exhausted and sluggish. Burying to hide into the confines of the blanket that Dokja shivers under. ]

[Kim just walks into his room and like, stands in the doorway for a few seconds with his eyes closed.]

Okay. I guess this is an infirmary now.

[This is just a fact he's going to force himself to accept on the spot.]

[malewife]

The room is relatively clean.

[ Joonghyuk actually wiped up, so maybe it just smells like blood a little, not a lot... And undead. ]

[afterword]

[ Ah, it's that ahjussi. A polite smile is directed to Kim. ]

Sorry about that, it was the closest room we could get to.

[malewife]

I don't see the point of lying to him when the truth is obvious.

[ WHAT IS WITH THAT FAKE, RATTY CORPORATE SMILE ]

You didn't want to bother with Herlock Sholmes.

[voltadomar]

[There's a look of ah, that makes sense on the lieutenant's face. He'll turn to Dokja.]

... Understandable. I can spare the room for a night, so make yourself at home.

[afterword]

[ There's at least a reassuring look. ]

I appreciate it, but I won't intrude any longer than necessary. It was just a moment to get my bearings. Thank you though.

[voltadomar]

It's up to you.

I have pain medication here. Would you like some?

[afterword]

[ A tempting offer. ]

I can manage without, thanks. I'm feeling a bit better already. [ He says even with his injuries. ]

[voltadomar]

... Okay. You can always ask for them later, if your condition changes.

[afterword]

[ Shut up???? ]

My memory is a bit hazy so it's a bit difficult to remember any of the details.

[ So he'd rather not face an investigator and his million questions! Concussions are a pain. ]

[malewife]

Then you can't tell us more about that thing?

[ it is still trying to chomp. ]

[afterword]

[ Blinks slowly at it. Then back at Yoo Joonghyuk. Did he black out for a moment?? ]

..Why do you even have it? [ Ugh, he pinches his nose a little. ] I remember us dealing with them at the very end. Right before we got back. There was a horde of them chasing us.

[ He seems to be trying to think at least, but winces after a moment. ] They were yelling something, a lot of things, but I can't remember what.

[voltadomar]

[Kim's raising an eyebrow.]

So they did speak...?

[afterword]

They did. Mind you it wasn't really human, the words sounded garbled and a bit distorted but you could sorta make out what they were saying.

[ He tires to think and... ] "Let us die." They kept repeating that.

[malewife]

I said before I was curious about it.

[afterword]

[ He heard but. ]

Well, you're probably able to find more of them back in the caves.

[voltadomar]

It was. Until you brought a severed monster head inside.

[malewife]

[ ... well. he guesses... he could have pinned it out in the hallway, but his hoarder instincts are like

what if someone steals this zombie head ]

If you want to open it up elsewhere, we can move it.

[voltadomar]

You want to open it up? Is there something you think you'll find?

[malewife]

Usually, I wouldn't touch an undead.

[ but. like. it's already just a head that got stabbed and has been (carefully) skewered for easy transportation. He looks at it and it's still like... Hissing. ]

But I'm curious to see if maybe there are any signs of it being enchanted inside. Or cursed.

[voltadomar]

I really don't know what that would look like, but okay.

I had some less invasive tests in mind, so I'd like to go first if that's all right with you.

[malewife]

[ The head is just there, so it's a yes. Joonghyuk will unpin it and it can...

I guess... Try to crawl its way to someone for chomping. ]

[voltadomar]

[He fuckin' jumps back.]

Wait -- leave it pinned! I need it immobile for this.
