04 | voice/written/action | Kidnap shifts are a bitch, and I hate 'em.

[June 9th (Nighttime)]

[Doyle returns from the mission and hopes distantly that the shift placed on him would be gone. It is not, and he's got an insignificant wound that probably needs a few stitches and something to disinfectant. He basically makes a beeline for his place, locks himself up (and may run into people along the way, despite his attempts to be sneaky). He'll just have to wait for it to wear off.

Yeah.]


[Voice]

Can anyone do me a favor? Probably a doctor at the clinic--I need, uh. A kit for stitching up minor injuries, things like that? Something to disinfect a wound? I'm not really in a position to go down to the clinic... If we can arrange somewhere to pick it up, I'd really owe ya.

[If you're in Community Housing 7, you might feel a phantom heat passing through the Floor 3 hallway. Also if you're Doyle's neighbors or you're above or below his room, sorry about the weird heat that seems to bounce around your place. :|]

[June 10th]

[It's getting worse. He's feeling a lot more restricted, a lot more like he's drowning in peak summer heat. Started sweating more; he takes nightly walks like he does sometimes, though more-so to escape how his room smothers him. Eventually, though, he starts to realize that he can't go to the grocery store, or the restaurant, or the item shop. Or the middle of the plaza. Frankly, he realizes he's just shoving heat in people's faces wherever he's at.

There's some joke to be made about making people want to take their clothes off, but he's too tired to amuse it. He temporarily stays in an empty house further back from any people, just until this wears off. Needs food, though. Going to the grocery shop isn't going to work out. At all.

A while later, an anonymous person pens in
this handwriting:]

[Written / Anonymous]

I'm stuck in a predicament, and I kinda' need food. If anyone can drop some off at the house I'm staying in, I'd really appreciate it--and I'd owe you one. Just on the doorstep, and I can do the rest.

[If people do decide to help out, he'd appreciate it. He even pens the house number. Just don't be alarmed if you help, or even if you just walk by, that something unceremoniously warm is seeping through the walls of the house. He's got the air on, the fans on, and he's still not feeling too relaxed.

He also goes out and sits at the lake. By the time he's there for an hour, two, he sits in the water and feels some semblance of relief for once.]


[June 11th]

[Fucking hell. Fuck.

He's given up on shirts. He's drinking a lot of water, too. Been sitting in the shower at the unspecified house until he prunes up. It offers a little relief. Not a whole lot. When it starts to rain he goes outside, goes back to the lake, sits in the water, in the rain; he hasn't gotten sick from it yet, so he's not about to stop.

When the rain clears up, he drags himself onto the shore and lays there. He feels too hot. He's going to burn up--they're going to burn him all up, aren't they, those assholes?

Too hot... Ugh... Too hot.

It's raining and overcast and he's laying here suffocating in heat.

What were the odds.]



((ooc: basically anyone within a 10-foot radius will feel like they're in a really hot desert that will progressively get worse the closer they go; the heat is stifling and hard to be around. Another 10 feet after that, there's a mild heat that'll probably be more recognizable on the rainy days. Touching him'll make you feel like you're being burned. Also to note, it only effects living things. So no actual hot objects. :|b

It'll go away before anything gets too intense for him, but he's a little freaked out and anxious and all that.))

Don't make me say it Rick.

[Because it was honestly getting old at this point. Especially since she's the one that brings it up more often than not. Adele takes a half step back as he stands, heat rising along with him. Thick in the air, slamming into her, and she can't. Breathe.

Easily. At least.]


If you are absolutely certain it is beyond your ability to bear it...I would. But only if you are beyond saving, and there is no other option.

[Well, that certainly isn't him. A kitten or a guy with a weird beard.]

If you want a quick fix, there's plenty of snow-and-tundra scenarios at the battle dome. Plus the safety protocol would make sure you didn't, you know, die.

[It was a positive. It meant one less injury or body that Viral would have to explain, although this one would be significantly worse for his reputation.

He settles on the floor adjacent to the sniper, careful not to touch him. Though the heat was a comfortable change, he knew better than to touch anything in these conditions. Especially if the object in question was emanating heat.

It was a hard lesson to learn; the only thing that spared his hands from repeated burns while maintaining Enkidudu was the gift of Immortality from the Spiral King.]


Unfortunately no. [He holds out the bag.] I brought you food though.

...and. You feel as though you are burning.

[She'd known the Malnosso to be cruel for a long while now. Had no doubt of their depravity, their subtle torments. While she'd been spared them for the most part- the detail, the penalties, the shifts and experiments. Everything they lay down on the villagers, every last poke and prod at their pride, livelihood, and wellbeing.

But this.

This was more than she'd expected from them.]


Bastards.

[It's low. Cold. Violent in a way she hasn't felt in quite some time. The anger on his behalf is quelled, accepted, locked aside for the time being. He doesn't need that now.

Rick's baring something vital, here. Showing a bit of his underbelly. Tense and sweltering, she takes another half step forward. Hisses under her breath. Meets his eyes and offers the same.]


...I'm an acrophobe. Heights. Falling. The helicopter ride back was...hell. I cannot imagine being exposed to it every hour of every day as you have been Rick.

I'm sorry.
relictusdeus: (Bitch please)

When you are laying before me, half-bare?

[He leaves the question hanging, wearing a smile as he cocks his head. It seems that this is some Malnosso punishment; what else could it be, he muses, when Doyle looked so miserable? Unless it was a curse inflicted by something or someone else.

He felt the bare skin of his face prickle in the heat; at this rate, the rainwater soaking his shirt would evaporate easily. It were as if he were standing next to a raging fire.
]

... Suppose I should place kindling over you. [He toys with the idea, amused.] Would it take flame? ...or would you burn with greater intensity?

[She tilts her head a little when he approaches. Speaks. Did it just get warmer? Did he just worry about her health? She hasn't forgotten. That post he had made two days prior. Kits for stitches. Disinfectants. Should he really be swimming in the rain, either?

She doesn't think so.]


You sure you should be out in this rain? [There's a slight mocking tone in her voice, but it's not meant to be mean. It's caring. Surprisingly enough. Humorous.] It's probably not good for your health, either!

I think 'a little dizzy' is the least of your trouble right now.

[Nami...stoops down to help him up. Reaches forward and stops just shy of touching him, because that...feels unwise. And her brow creases in worry, because that is not what she'd technically call a survivable temperature to be at.]

Is this something from your world or an experiment?

[But Ami shakes her head, quickly, flashing a quick reassuring smile even as she moves to the table to put everything down.]

I don't mind at all. I don't care what it is I'm doing, as long as it helps.

[Within reasonable parameters, of course; but it'd take a lot for her to ever complain, and for something like this, she's more than willing to pitch in.]
mikangirl: DEFAULT DEFAULT (I'm taking you seriously.)

Air... [She can hear that edge of panic, and Nami scowls-- not at him, but basically because fuck you, Malnosso. This sounds like a really horrible effect to send someone home with, y'know? But if it's an air problem, maybe she can help. Or at least alleviate, because if a cold shower doesn't work...

She draws the climatact sections from their holster.]


...tried the bathtub full of icecubes?

[A few months? But he has only been...

oh.

Adele swallows and looks away for a moment, trying to wrap her mind around the implications of that. Her thoughts wheel and dive like so many broken winged birds. It's not something she wants to think about.]


If the ice bath does not help, I can sedate you in a private room until this passes.
relictusdeus: (OH WELL; psshh; smile)

[personal profile] relictusdeus 2012-06-18 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[The answer hardly puts him off if the purring chuckle in his throat is any indication.]

Would a rabbit do, bound to keep from kicking? [Doyle did say 'living'.] ...I enjoy the slight sweetness of its flesh.

[As to whether or not he is being quite serious in his implications, it's difficult to say without being privy to his thoughts. He's quite curious to witness this strange affliction in action and see it come to good use.]

So it seems.

[Many people within the enclosure would not be able to handle this kind of heat--Viral was almost certain he was among the minority that were from arid climes in the first place. But, that didn't make the man's needs any less relevant.]

...Is the food okay?
faithfulflame: (Mars Made of Stern Stuff)

I suppose. Tell me, Rick, what's your world like? If girls that control flame aren't so strange then surely there is some reason for it.

[She wants to distract him from his discomfort.]

Not Hawkeye, I'm not that kind of hero. Though, I'm sure I can find someone more than willing to be your advice line. If you need suggestions.
