[uuuuuuuuuuuuh]

[crouches down and brushes the glass shards away so he can pick up the vial]

What, no warning label?

Oh, no. It's all part of the experience, darling.

...Is it made up of the blood of the people you've murdered and the tears when they come back?

Because it doesn't look a thing like tea.

[LIGHTENING THE MOOD ATTEMPT.]

[omfg]

[PRESSING A HAND OVER HIS MOUTH AND STIFLING A CHORTLE]

[Thumbs up.]

[gives him one in return]

[and then opens the vial, presses it up to his mouth, and kicks the liquid back]

[The potion tastes like roses, and the moment it passes your lips you feel the thorns — stabbing pains spread throughout your body, the worst of it centered around your ribs and lungs. It’s getting harder to breathe … and as time goes by, coughs will come, light at first but steadily intensifying. By the end of the second round, you’ll be coughing up blood.]

[. . . THANKS NYSSABAMA]

[as soon as the stabbing pains start, he jerks back and drops the vial to the ground. with a yell, he wraps his arms around his torso and doubles over, trying his best to stifle those coughs]

[W-well.]

Um. Can you talk?

[S-SHAKES HIS HEAD and presses a hand against his mouth, shoulders shaking]

[that is a negative]

Ugh...

Alright. T-take a load off and relax.

If you're in too much trouble, snap your fingers or clap.

[Shit, is he dying?

Ochre will just- hover. you okay there bro?]

[he does not seem to be dying. . .!]

[but he does drop to his knees and cover his mouth as a pretty nasty sounding coughing fit begins]

[This is clearly Not Okay and Ochre has no idea how to deal with this.]

You- can ya talk?

[okay but we went through the coughing intensifying thing in another game already??]

—Kaito? [putting a hand on his shoulder]

[yeeeeeah he is having flashbacks to Sepsis's game already]

[he leans into her touch a bit, but he doesn't seem capable of responding verbally. CUE MORE COUGHING, his entire body shaking with each one]

[jesus christ. She takes his arm and directs him to sit down, kneeling down with him]

Sit down, and do not move. Slow breathes, through your nose.

[Oh jesus.]

Nnnghh.

Just sit back, okay?

[he nods weakly and plops onto the ground, mostly because Clover directs him to sit. he somehow manages to take a deep breath, but it's shaky and his entire body is quivering]

F. . . f-feels like I'm sittin' in w-water.

[which is NOT PLEASANT but he is in no condition to stand]

[concern is surely best shown by staying back and letting people who are competent at emotions fuss]

[it's okay Callie, he knows how you work by now]

[the concern is appreciated. or. . . would be, if he had the time to appreciate it. for now, there is only coughing and pain]

[oh my god Edward.

That choking noise sounds suspiciously like a laugh]

[I DID A GOOD.]

[Wow, Ed. Wow. Ochre doesn't even attempt to stifle his laugh]

[He just grins and chuckles himself.]
