[The communicator is turned on but its constantly clattering to the floor and there's paniced breaths of a 15 year old Reiner. Sadly, this was during the time he recieved his curse and his hands to shoulders were bleeding constantly and no signs of his protective bandages that his older self had.]

So..Someone... please help... me.

It won't stop..

[dukealla]

Six.. six... AH!

[Duke frantically turns round in a circle.

Once...
...twice...
...three times...

And he hes off! Here comes Mr. Red Coat, trying to find the quickest way to Deck 6.]

Ah! These will do!

[He passes the elevator and goes directly for the stairs but By the time he reaches the 6th deck he was panting, looking around for a door.

"What door was it again?"]

Oh dear...

[he just looks for someone bleeding, in hopes maybe they're hanging outside their door.]

[internalcage]

[Well since Keats wasn't touching the cloth, Reiner tries to keep his hand on the make-shift bandage even if he's staining it. His body flinches from the amount of new cuts and the stinging pain forming with each passing second.]

I... wouldn't know and I would get... your clothes all dirty. I don't watn to do that.

[diverged_fate]

If we could find one... hm. [Cold chuckle goes here.] It's better than my idea.

[Meanwhile, he shakes his head at Reiner's efforts.] It's not working...if the doctors here can reverse that power, it might be worth trying to find them.

[And he only shrugs off the injured man's concern. He stands up, shoots a look at Duke--are they going to pick him up then?]

Don't worry about the clothes. I'm used to it.

[Getting blood on them, that is.]

[dukealla]

[Duke nods to Keats, with a smirk]
I've had worse concerns before. A little more red to my coat won't hurt it so.

[At that moment, Duke knelled down and took the bleeding man's arm just long enough to get himself under it to hoist the other man up from the ground. Duke didn't like touching blood, specially this man's oddly opening and closing wound thing. Duke tried to stay focused and waited for Keats to assist.]

[internalcage]

[There was a small nod.]

Al..Alright.

[He tensed a fair bit when Duke lifted him up. This sudden bombardment of memories pounded in to his head. Seeing Duke with a girl named Erika after saving her from starvation and she wasn't afraid of Duke's monster form, the pink haired one seems to give her some kind of pendant but the memory start to go fuzzy. He blinks and shakes his head, trying to keep focus as another memory comes infront of his eyes although its gorey and it doesn't take that long for Reiner to pass out. There was something to do with being hunted and screams...]

[diverged_fate]

[Keats strolled over and started to lift Reiner from the other side. Midway up, he hesitated and shot a glare toward Duke. His own powers were suddenly reacting oddly to both of them. Normally he got a vague 'sense' of people, which allowed him to tap into them if he was going to attack. For a moment there was a merging between this Reiner and Duke.

...and then Reiner passed out, and it stopped. Suspicious. He hefted him the rest of the way up, but he was scowling now.]

Did something just happen? He passed out... maybe it's blood loss.

[dukealla]

[All Duke could sense was a peak in fright before the young man passed out. He shook his head at Keats.]

Your guess is as good as mine, sir. We need to find him medical attention immediately...

[But where that was? He hadn't a clue. He only knew Gideon could patch wounds but Duke wasn't sure about THESE types of wounds...
or even where anyone was at that very moment.]

...or at least keep keep him elevated.

[diverged_fate]

If we run across someone who supposedly lives here, we can ask.

[He keeps up his end of the weight like it's nothing. Skinny as he is, it's all muscle and he's used to dealing with worse. He's trying to avoid touching that blood-- not because he's squeamish, but he mistrusts the strangeness of those wounds.]

For now lets just get going. [Starts pulling him along.]

[dukealla]

[Duke is also strong, but only because his own bones is actually quite heavy. He assists Keats in carrying Reiner out the door, stepping sideways and letting the younger man go ahead of him.]

I don't know if it's wise to just carry him around until we find someone...

[Duke sighs]

But I suppose we have no other options...

[internalcage]

[Just to not worry Duke or Keats any, that red blood that was draining from the boy's arms was getting darker. More towards a black color that had a horrible stench attached to it.

As for the young Reiner, he didn't stir a bit from the carrying or the conversation. He was out like a light.]

[diverged_fate]

...

[While carrying him along, he picks up the scent before he sees the darkening blood. What the hell? He narrows his eyes when he does notice. It looked a little strange before, but now...]

Is that changing, or is it just me...?

[dukealla]

[Duke wasn't sure where the stench was coming from for a moment but he followed Keats eyes and his flew open in shock]

W-Wait! Is that his blood or mine?!

[He frantically starts looking over his own body. Duke didn't FEEL hurt... but his blood was black...]

[diverged_fate]

... It didn't switch to you, did it? Whatever made him bleed like that.

[That might explain the sudden blurred sense he got of them... but it also makes him want to drop this guy. He's got enough problems without a curse to add to them.

He gives Duke a cursory glance over...]

You don't seem to be bleeding...

[dukealla]

I don't feel anything. I'm positive if I was bleeding, I'd feel it.... am I correct?

[Duke frowned at Keats]

I've never seen a man's blood change color, before... nor have I ever seen a human bleed this much, either.
