towerofanimus | 2nd [Open]

Characters: Satsujinki and open
Setting: Floor 4, Dorm hallways
Format: Will work with you!
Summary: Having his version of magical anemia sucks.
Warnings: Shouldn't be any.

Floor 4
[This floor could have been nice for any visitors.

Except for the dead looking body lying on the floor. Not too long ago, Satsujinki collapsed here and, unfortunately for him, he can't move. It's almost as if his body had been drained of energy. The only sign that he's alive is that he's still breathing and, if one gets close enough to tell, his teeth are clenched together in frustration.

Suffering from 'Chronic Vertigo Anemia' frequently caused him to collapse as a kid. It only got worse as he got older. It lasts longer and is quite a bit more severe now than it used to be.

Maybe...just barely, he might be able to talk. Just enough to refuse assistance, even though he needs it.]

Hallways
[At some point, he was able to wave off assistance and is attempting to make it back to his own dorm alone. Being a little handicapped by his lack of sight, he still tried to make the walk, using the wall as a support.

It's not a pretty sight but his expression for anyone who approaches is certainly unwelcoming. He's been living alone for a few years and had to deal with this fairly frequently. As far as he's concerned, he can still deal with it himself.]

I just need a little time.

[He can actually move his arm a little. Mostly trying to get it under himself so he can get up.]

Are you sure? You look really pale and all.

[ She tries to help him a little but not too much since she doesn't know if he would be okay with it. ]

That's just a side effect.

[His voice is getting a little stronger, thankfully. But he's not fighting being helped up. Though he honestly isn't enjoying it.]

[ She doesn't ask any further as he said that. It seems like he has some reason for being in the state he is. ]

Well, at least allow me to help you to a safer place at least since the hallways isn't always all that safe.

[ She's glad for that but she hasn't notice that he doesn't like it. ]

It's fine. If something was that dangerous, my body would take care of itself.

[Sadly something he wished he had full control over. Those automatic reactions saved his life far too many times.]

If you say so.

[ She glanced over at him not sure what else to say since it seemed his responses clearly state he would be okay and there was nothing to worry about. It still bothered her that he looked a little pale still. ]

All I need is a few minutes. If I needed help every time this happened, I'd be pretty pitiful.

I'm sorry for getting personal. You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but from what you're saying, it means that this happens to you often?

[ How could anyone live with that kind of condition. She was a little confused. ]

It's fine.

When I was a kid, something terrible happened. After that event, the doctors said I would have Chronic Vertigo Anemia for the rest of my life and have attacks like this.

I'm sorry to hear that and there's no way anyone can cure it? It must be really tough to have something like that.

Curing it is impossible, even with magic.

I've never heard of anything that's incurable even by magic means.

[ She closed her eyes. ] but I guess it does exist.

Magic generally has issues when it comes to areas involving life or the soul.

I've heard of that somewhere before. It guess there are things even magic can't do.

You know a lot about magic?

I guess it depends on what magic you're referring to. There is such things that exist in my world, so I'm fully aware of magical abilities and stuff.

My teacher knows way more than I do though. Too bad he isn't around.

Hopefully what you do know will help you survive around here.

It's been keeping me in check for a while. It is useful for survival. Do you possess any abilities?

Maybe. Maybe I don't.

Haha, I guess that's a weird question to ask a complete stranger. Well, I hope that if you do that it can help you as well.

It's no real secret. It's just better off that I never have to use what I have.

I see. Is it dangerous?

[ she muses with a slight hint of concern. ]

It can be.

I see. Do you feel a little better?

[ it didn't hurt to check. ]

A little. I'm getting to where I want to be....slowly.
