Yuri understands, so she holds onto Shu's hand and leads him towards the cots so that he can sit there instead. He can lie down if he wants, but Yuri will sit next to him for a while, squeezing his hand a little while looking down at it. ]
... Should I use some antiseptic tape on you? For the smaller ones.
[ he'll let himself be led, but doesn't lie down. he stays sat upright and gives her hand a squeeze back when she squeezes his. ]
Mm. If you want to. Might mean it focuses on the other stuff more, if those are already patched up.
[ ...
he keeps glancing at her neck, from time to time. and examining her face carefully. like he's looking for something and then looking relieved when he doesn't find it. ]
[ Yuri nods, since that was her line of thinking too. She takes a tube of antiseptic tape and tries to look over Shu's body. Where are his scratches? But then she realizes that he's been staring at her longer than usual. Um. ]
[ he's got some shadow like scarring on his arms and stomach, but-- that's under his shirt. the burns on his face are looking a lot better, but the shadow scarring's still present in places there too.
the nicks and scratches are predominantly on his arm, along with a bit of burning. that's what she can put the cream on his arms for!
still he just reaches up and carefully tilts her head to one side, looking at her neck. ]
[ Oh... Yuri just lets Shu quietly stay there and lightly pats his... back? She's not sure where she can just pat without Shu's injuries worsening since she already applied the cream. ]
[ Watching Yuri die has been so common that she doesn't seem too affected by it anymore. Yuri will also make a note to bring Shu to the spa so try and cut the collar off.
No, we had to kill you. [ aaa. ] Or something that looked like you, but wrong. And there was this monster--
[ he's quiet for a moment, frowning. when she hugs him, he'll just hook an arm around her to return it. he's not afraid of dying, he said, but it's still unnerving to see the faces of people you know and, well-- ]
It had your head. [ and he doesn't mean a monster with the head of yuri. ] Kept trying to distract us with it, make us look at it. [ haha. ]
[ the mods, i think are just sniffing for deets. points at them. the twink beatdown was happening yesterday oocly lmao. ]
He was there from the beginning. We were on a mission in a place called Stormhail. He was there the whole time, we just didn't remember he'd killed Viktor for a long time.
Something ... persuaded us, I guess, that we had to fight each other. I don't know why he lashed out at me, but I just felt like I had to fight back so he didn't kill me like he did Viktor. It made sense at the time, but afterwards we had no idea what made us fight like that.
[ TWINK BEATDOWN LMFAO imagine the turmoil when i saw the cyoa results today ]
I see...
[ Yuri thinks they got sucked into someone else's world and had replacements, just like how it was... every week. She frowns as she tries to straighten Shu's back so that he doesn't slouch as she continues to apply the antiseptic tape on his arms. She will use the entire thing. Can't stop her. ]
... Those things seem to make less and less sense.
Mm. I had this ... urge, I guess. To kill him before he killed me, like I knew he was in danger. It might've been the same for him. When he killed me, it wore off.
[ and not just because. y'know. dead. ]
Ah, did Shoma find us? [ poor shoma.... shu doesn't know he crashed into him and threw them both in the lake. ] Mm. Sorry. None of expected to come back that beat up.
[ Wild. Yuri thinks that's quite a situation, but also wonders about the collar. She doesn't think when she slowly raises her hand to touch it, feeling its texture and thickness. For a moment, her finger is about to hook onto it, but Yuri withdraws her hand. ]
... I don't think anyone does.
[ There's a small smile as Yuri goes to back to taping all over Shu's arms. ]
[ it's just-- something. to have died, been healed enough to keep going and then to be told you'd basically been dead on arrival. he still feels like a minor case of death warmed up though, with the time he's spent in the pod definitely only pushing him into the semi-ok category, but-- it's still strange. ]
...
[ he lets her prod at the collar though. he has some idea of what it is, but there's no worry or concern about the fact it's around his next. right now it's just an accessory and a reminder of where'd he been and what happened. ]
Are you trying to see how it comes off?
[ he'll hook his own finger in the collar to pull it out from his neck a little ]

anyway sometimes you are just caught red handed? it happens. ]
Yuri.
no subject
... Please get back into the recovery pod.
[ She says it in a tone of "I'm not asking. I'm demanding". ]
If you would like to be elsewhere for the night, that's fine, but stay in there at least an hour longer.
no subject
Can I have five minutes before I do?
[ just. y'know. to not be in there. ]
You weren't kidding that they're kinda cramped.

no subject
and then he'll just sigh and lean forward to bump his head on her shoulder. ]
no subject
... Do you want me to take the collar off you?
no subject
Don't know where the key is. It's not going to hurt me though.
[ it is just a collar, until he can get it off. ]
I'm glad you're alive.
no subject
[ Watching Yuri die has been so common that she doesn't seem too affected by it anymore. Yuri will also make a note to bring Shu to the spa so try and cut the collar off.
She'll also just... give Shu a light hug. ]

Yuri gently rubs Shu's back to try and comfort him. Her hand is warm. She's alive. ]
... Did it involve an apple and a bunch of maggots?
no subject
good. ]
...
[ he does pull back a little at that. ] No. Just a monster, using your image.
no subject
If it wasn't using my image, do you think you could have come back with less injuries?
no subject
Why did you think there'd be an apple...?
[ jiii.
oh. but.
hm. ]
A few, but most of them came from Eunhyuk and I trying to kill each other.
no subject
Why Eunhyuk?
[ These seem random to Yuri BUT THE MODS ASKED ME ABOUT MY SHIPS THIS MORNING SO I'M SUSPICIOUS NOW ]

no subject
... [ well, she's not wrong. they absolutely did. ]
Yeah. Technically, I should be really dead, but-- whatever Eunhyuk did in there revived me.
[ haha ]
But all that healing didn't actually stick when we got out of there.
no subject
[ make it make sense
Yuri's expression turns solemn at the mention. ]
... Yes. I received Shoma's message to everyone that he found three corpses in the Mega Park and I thought you were dead.
no subject
[ and not just because. y'know. dead. ]
Ah, did Shoma find us? [ poor shoma.... shu doesn't know he crashed into him and threw them both in the lake. ] Mm. Sorry. None of expected to come back that beat up.
