You have been instructed to leave the front foyer and enter one of the rooms down the center hallway. Room 136's door has an anatomical illustration of a goat crushing a snake under its hoof. A cat looks on, curious.

[????????]

Technic???

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[menially]

I-- c-can't--

[His voice is horribly hoarse, the cough that follows only making his wheezing worse. It sounds like he's having to breathe through a pinhole.

Okay I am not going to talk, I am just going to sink to my knees and be winded forever.]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[pchaaair]

I—um. I'm going to ask Belt for help, so, just... try to stay calm...

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[menially]

[Nods weakly, a hand raise in acknowledgement. Go do your thing, he'll just. Try to not choke. Or panic.

Both are very difficult right now but he will make an effort.]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[pchaaair]

[HI I'M BACK WITH AN AIRFLOW TUBE]

Okay. Belt said that we could use this. ... I might have to force it in, though. Uh. Since, it's to help you breathe, and stuff.

[i'm sorry your doctor is a thirteen year old kid that has no idea what he's doing]

gonna go link crane in for round robin brb

[menially]

[Well this looks promising. 8(]

Did--- did she -- tell you how to -- t-to use it???

[saburai]

[ Oh, good, we have something useful. ]

I can assist you with that as well, Wren. The sooner we aid his breathing, the better.

[pchaaair]

Yeah. She told me how to use it.

... So, your head has to be on a neutral level, first, so, we have to lay you down.

[menially]

[His mouth thins into a pained grimace as he tries to swallow and nearly chokes on it. S-sputtering and wiping his mouth.]

H... H-here, or the table. Which -- which one would be -- easier...?

[saburai]

[ Thinking about it. ]

The table may be best, so that we can have better access to the head...

[pchaaair]

...


It's probably cleaner than the floor, too. Which could be good, if we're ... doing a medical procedure.

[menially]

R-right...

[WHEEZE

Can

someone help me up]

[saburai]

[ Yeah going to do just that, helping him up and supporting as much of Technic's weight as she can. ]

All right. Let's move over there, then.

[pchaaair]

[HELPING!!!

... let's get onto the bed and even though the bed is gross at least it's probably not as gross as the floor. (/'-')/]

Okay.

[menially]

[Seeing as Technic is taller, heavier, and getting winded by a normal walking pace, this is going to be awkward and difficult.

But we are eventually getting to the bed, go team. He's rolling over onto his back, that lovely wheezing getting labored.]

G-go ahead--- I'll try t--- to relax...

[saburai]

[ Once he seems steady on the bed, she turns and nods to Wren. ]

Are you ready? We probably shouldn't wait much longer, judging from the state of his breathing...

[pchaaair]

Sorry, Technic.

[nods... and.

well.

SHOVES THE TUBE IN, dr. wren is here to help.]

h-had to rng for success and i failed

[menially]

[GAGGING LOUDLY WITH A YELP OF PAIN

not even halfway in and the tube meets resistance, and what little wheezing was happening suddenly goes quiet

along with the rest of the breathing

A hand is immediately gripping against his throat, his eyes wide.]

Re: h-had to rng for success and i failed

[saburai]

[ WELL SHIT ]

—Pull it out, it's not working!

Re: h-had to rng for success and i failed

[pchaaair]

[ahhhh]

Swan helped! I think we need to stab his throat now, or something... uh. As in, get a tube into his throat?

Re: h-had to rng for success and i failed

[saburai]

...It'll open up another airway, I think. Because he can't breathe through his mouth, we can open up his throat to allow air in.

[swordedpast]

[arriving fifteen minutes late without any Starbucks. He's going to very calmly attempt to pull out the tube.]

[pchaaair]

[SWAN IS A HELPER]

I think it needs to go into his throat, now??

[menially]

[Tube coming out: success! Barely any resistance outside Technic's attempted spasms that are trying to be breaths.

Choking: still happening.]

[swordedpast]

[In that case, with a quick nod to Wren, Swan's going to calmly start to put the tube back in--his hands don't shake, and he pays close attention to where it's going.]
