[The PORTAL turns on to Noisy Pig
trying to eat it, then topples onto a chair. It gives a good view of a line of kittens on a sofa following Akito's movements with their heads.]
((pretend the kittens are a selection of them from
here!))
it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
[The two voices overlap, both distinctly different. There is no radiating emotion, which is odd for Akito, who normally seems so fond of communicating that way. The three of them have managed to lock away their mind to the best of their ability, protecting it from the wraith that's been trying to sway their thoughts.
What's heard next are whispers - intended for each other, not their little audience.]
I just have to stop the bleeding and then make sure it doesn't swell--
--and how long will it take, huh? Too fucking long! What happens in the--
--Agito, that's not helping--
Fuck!
It's fine! It's fine, it's fine.
[The PORTAL moves again, and Akito shoos the kittens off the sofa so that he can sit down with the first aid kit. There are claw marks across his face, preventing him from opening his right eye despite being superficial. He looks haggard under the blood; skin pale, and dark circles under his eyes. It's been an exhausting few days.
A cat paw shoots
up out of the seat to swat around at the bandages.]
Stop it, Nosy!
No, that's Bob Sapp. Nosy Fucker is watching Dumbass be a dumbass.
[Akito looks over to where Dumbass is
stuffing his face into things again and bites back a laugh. He then quickly and efficiently stems the blood flow, cleans the wounds, and closes them with surgical tape. He tries not to think about how this means Agito can't come out to protect him.]
There! It's fine, see? Now to just go ice it--
If all the water turned to blood, what would that make the ice cubes? Blood cubes?
[There's a momentary pause.]
--Ew! No! Agito! Gross - I'm not eating one! If you want blood so bad just take over our mouth--
[The PORTAL cuts out there, chewed on by another cat.]
