Sixteen: In Which Klaus Bleeds All Over Everything

[myblimpisbigger]

A.

[Hey, family. Guess who's back from exploring the highway? This guy! Unfortunately, he had a run-in with a bear and... well... he's not doing so hot. But he's home! And sort of slumping against the entrance-way wall, not even bothering to kick the door closed behind him.  Car buddies, feel free to follow him inside, if you like, but he knows who

[Garviel hunches over and follows the girl, also covered in blood, but a lot of it is, in fact, his.]

[ And hey Higgs is coming in too. Doesn't have as many wounds as everyone else, but they're still there. Don't worry, he knows how to stitch himself up. ]

[worstvikingever]

[Poor, poor Hiccup. He hears the bellow of Klaus and he barrels down the stairs and almost runs straight into...]

HOLY great Odin's beard oh my gods what... what...

[Hoooboy yes he's freaking out a little. HI BLOOD. HI BUNCH OF PEOPLE COVERED IN IT. HI MAIMED KLAUS WTF]

[myblimpisbigger]

{ooc: We can probably be fairly lenient with posting order, given that not all of us will be online at the same time as others and if we waited, the thread would take weeks. Sound okay?}

[Oh, good, Hiccup isn't dead and actually stayed in the house like Klaus told him too. What a good son he is!]

There is very little time for explanation. To the garage. Now.

[And he'll be making his way in that direction as quickly as possible while keeping tabs on how his organs are doing and whether they are still all inside his body. Rin did a good job, but he's a pessimist.]

[worstvikingever]

[As soon as Klaus says garage, Hiccup kind of can figure what he's planning to do. Probably build something to help. Probably. So he runs right after Klaus, hardly paying attention to Rin, but just enough to turn his head to answer.]

All the tools and materials.

[myblimpisbigger]

[Another Good Son Point to Hiccup! He is being the smartest right now. Hopefully this trend will continue once they make it into the garage-turned-workshop. Which they do!]

Hiccup, set aside from that pile of scrap metal there should be something that looks like two small oxygen tanks lashed together with a gauge between them.

[...Oh wait he probably. Won't understand that.]

Cylindrical metal containers. One red and one blue. It should be fairly obvious. Get them. Rin, tubing. Lots of it. Whatever is available, regardless of diameter or length.

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup opens his mouth at "oxygen tanks" and closes it immediately when Klaus rephrases his description. He kind of remembers seeing them before, so when he goes over to the pile he picks them out almost immediately, returning them to Klaus just as quickly.]

[myblimpisbigger]

[WONDERFUL. This is the upside to having all of his scrap come from a clank that was built by him for hospital use -- it obviously had the parts to several healing devices stored within for easy access, should they be needed (and also the parts to no less than six guns, but that is neither here nor there). Most of them were damaged beyond repair when the clank was originally shot down, but this one tank pair managed to survive.

This is why Klaus Wulfenbach always prides himself on thinking ahead.]

Good. The rest should be fairly simple. I will merely require the proper tools...

[And thus a montage begins, because Inku cannot really explain the process of sparking something together in detail. Klaus asks for tools and components which his two helpers bring him in a (mostly) timely manner, and somehow, a miniature healing engine begins to take shape! Exciting!]

[worstvikingever]

[Hiccup was also quiet, if only because he got nervous whenever Klaus went into sparky mode. When Rin asked her question, he shrugged.]

Seeing how he's kinda bleeding all over the place? Probably some sort of healing mechanism. Or something.

[He had no idea how it worked or why it worked, but he knew Klaus, so he knew it worked.]

[lunawolves10th]

"What are we building exactly?"

[myblimpisbigger]

Hiccup is quite right; It is a healing device.

[He taps the gauge with one finger; with the broken glass cleared away, it works well enough. Everything seems to be in order.]

I will need your help integrating it, however. That is, I will need you to hold it in place while I insert the tubing and stitch up the incision I am about to make.

[Oh. Did he not mention that? Yeah. He's going to re-open a section of his side over the careful cauterizing work that Rin did, shove some wires in there, and hope he can stitch it back up in time.

Man is crazy. But that's how he rolls.]

[lunawolves10th]

[Garviel nods and does as requested. Crazy science is how the Imperium works. Put some more calipers and dials and freakin gold leaf on it!]
