jadesprite!! | 02!! | video!!

[deusexmachinarf]

[A whimper. Jadesprite appears on screen, groggily rubbing her eyes- the Faciliberry appears to be mounted on the wall, but she's blocking most of the view. Her collar seems a bit... larger, than usual, bulkier; it's almost as if there's a second collar on top of the usual one

Jade!

[ If it's possible, she looks even more terrified by Jadesprite's conundrum than she was about John's. ]

Jade, answer me! Please, I'm sorry, please don't die!

[video]

[deusexmachinarf]

[There's no response, for a while- just that incessant dripping.

And then finally a blistered paw grabs the 'berry and pulls it onto the floor, covering most of the screen but not the microphone]

Was that... b-brave, Jade...?

[quarkylass]

[ She's straggering and talking at the same time. The steps are pained -- her ribs still hurt, but she's not about to let her sprite (her self) suffer alone. The question does make her laugh, but it's accompanied by a few tears, which she wipes away angrily. ]

Y-yes, you saved yourself! Just-- don't die, I'm almost there--

I-I think the door is unlocked. [she coughs painfully] I-it probably unlocked when I... arf.

[action]

[quarkylass]

[ That doesn't sound good. Jade stumbles a little bit and leans against the door as she opens it, practically falling into the room. ]

Jade?

[ Looking around for her, because honestly she's terrified. What if she didn't get there in time? ]

[action]

[deusexmachinarf]

Arf.

[That tiny little sound is the only indication that Jadesprite is even in the room, unless someone was to spot her- she's a sopping, blistered mess, flopped on the floor right next to the still steaming tank in a pool of water and diluted green spriteblood]

[action]

[quarkylass]

[ oh no no no--

Jade rushes over, but she doesn't really have anything to help her with -- burns are supposed to be treated with colder water, she thinks, that's science right? Her mind is working too fast for her to figure it out right now, but that sounds right. That's what they did for her arm, at least. It stopped the burning. ]

Jade-- [ Okay no she must hug her sprite because she was so damn worried that she'd die. Hugs first, cold showers later. ]

[action]

[deusexmachinarf]

[Jadesprite painfully shifts her position a bit so she can hug Jade back loosely- she's really just surprised more than anything that her master/self came for her, even though she hoped she would.]

I-I'm okay, Jade...

[action]

[quarkylass]

[ She's not really sure what to say, so she settles for just hugging Jadesprite close instead, even if the injuries on her arm complain.

Eventually, she knows she has to let go. Being brave works both ways. ]

I'm not really a medic, but...I know that you can't let the burns keep burning or something. You've got to get them cold.

[action]

[deusexmachinarf]

I-it doesn't even really hurt...! [COUGH. WHIMPER. ARF.] It did at first but now I don't really f-feel anything.

B-but if you think that'll help... ...I can't really move.

I don't know..I don't know if sprites are the same as humans. But I don't want you to get hurt any more!

[action]

[deusexmachinarf]

I-if you say so...

[sniffle]

I-I just want to be out of t-this room...

[action]

[quarkylass]

[ ... ]

We're going to my room. Okay?

[ Jade releases her from the hug and stands up. Sprites can't be that heavy, right? I mean, mangrit runs in the family???

She holds her hands out for Jadesprite. ]

If you can get in my arms, I think I can carry you...

[action]

[deusexmachinarf]

Okay... woof...

[Jadesprite pathetically manages to float her way into Jade's arms, pretty much going completely limp and whining quietly when she does. Being brave is hard, okay.]

[action]

[quarkylass]

Ow...

[ She winces as the heat from Jadesprite's body presses against her injured arm. Vaguely, she considers the fact that this probably isn't the best idea she's ever had. But who needs ribs to heal and ligaments to mend when you have a spriteself to save?

For srs. ]

Okay, let's go...

[ It's a slow walk back to her room, because every step seems to hurt. Even if Jadesprite's not that heavy. ]

[action]

[deusexmachinarf]

[Jadesprite just lies there, limp, her shallow breathing the only sign that she's even alive.

Oh, and also the pathetic little licks she's giving Jade's hand occasionally. Those are there too.]
