ACTION; DOWNTOWN

[It isn't until he's walking back from school that the realization hits him. While before he could feel the hard thump of his vascular organ increasing with every step, about to pound right out of his chest - he couldn't feel it anymore. It was completely gone, replaced by a deafening silence and a ringing in his aurical sponge

Downtown

[chastesaw]

...Tavros? *Looking at him. Looking at the shop window. Looking back.* Is something amiss, or perhaps extremely compelling in that storefront viewspace?

[bullsit]

[He's a little more intent on his hands by this point. He's staring at them, covered in his own blood, and slowly stiffening with rigor. Going completely numb and useless.]

Oh, shit, no, stop, I'm already--

[He doesn't even seem to realize she's there yet.]

[chastesaw]

*Okay, she's beginning to get the sense that something is very wrong here. So while he's looking at his hands, she reaches out to grab one firmly, but not roughly.* Tavros? Tavros, look at me.

[bullsit]

[He blinks up at her - before what appears to be realization hits him.]

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't think, she would kill you, as well, I'm sorry.

Action, downtown

[Mindy watches him for a few minutes curiously. He sure seems upset about something.]

Are you okay, Mister?

[bullsit]

[He jumps, looking around wildly until he spots her - as soon as he does, he's backing away quickly.]

I said, stop following me!

[friendly_ghosts]

[She's confused. And a little nervous.]

I'm not following you! I just... thought maybe something was wrong...

[bullsit]

If you're here too, that means, you died as well, right, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, or anything.

Action; 1670 Nelson

[After he's come down from his earlier lapse of sanity, he decides to go see Tavros to explain himself.

Instead he finds him lying on the ground outside his hive!]

Shit! Are you hurt?

[bullsit]

[Is a little too busy sobbing wildly to answer thanks karkat!!]

[crusthatecean]

[Hey this is genuine, not tempered by an angry attitude, straight up concern over here, be more grateful.

Crouching down next to him and trying to get him to stay still so he can see what the problem is.]

[bullsit]

[He will be grateful later, just not right now. Right now he's getting getting more and more upset when Karkat tries to make him stay still (mostly because he thinks his legs are perfectly still.]

Make her leave me, alone, please, I don't know what I did, this time.

Action; Nelson Street

[heardeadpe0ple]

Tavros. Are you okay? You're crying and you're stumbling!

[Aradia is running over to him as fast as she can.] Do you need help? Did you get hurt? Did someone hurt you?

[bullsit]

[He looks up - he can hear her, but he can't see her.]

No, it, uh, doesn't hurt, I can't feel it, at all.

[heardeadpe0ple]

Can't feel it at all? What's wrong Tavros? I don't like it when you're upset like this. We're a team! [And helping out her friend and teammate is important!]

[bullsit]

Please, stop laughing at me, I don't want to be like this, why won't they work?

[dreambubbly]

[Oh cod. These things are hurting all her friends and she just doesn't...she doesn't know anymore.]

Tavros? Tavros, it's Feferi. It's me.

[bullsit]

It is my fault, isn't it, I'm really sorry, Feferi.

[dreambubbly]

Nothing is your fault, Tavros. Nothing at all.

[bullsit]

Everyone is dead, and it is my fault, and I couldn't stop her, could I?
