[isnotagiraffe.livejournal.com]

Characters: Taiki, Eridan anyone who wants to come visit Eridan or sick Taiki. (Willow, Sollux, Dualscars since you all said you wanted to meet the two of them together!)
Setting: Room 2-18, after Eridan is released from the infirmary
Format: You pick!
Summary: All this blood finally gets to Taiki, he gets sick.
Warnings: mentions of blood

Taiki was relieved when Eridan could leave the infirmary, the place smelt of blood and pain even worse than the rest of the tower. They went down to get the lift up to the dormitory floors, Taiki managed to last long enough to arrive in the coridoor before he collapsed.

It was all too much, all the blood, he had gotten blood on him, blood had been all around them. He had continued going because he had to save Eridan, because he didn't want to leave Eridan but his body couldn't cope any longer and he fell to the ground trembling, his eyes rolling back as he lost conciousness.

If Eridan touched him up he would be burning to the touch.

[A day or two later] Taiki finally started to recover, though he had no strength at all he was able to stay awake for a few hours at a time, and was well enough to recieve visitors, if anyone cared to come and see him.

"Well, kinda," Marceline admitted with a grin. "Kiddo was one of the first to come say hey to me after I got to this messed-up place. Guess that kinda qualifies us to be friends, then?" She was still unclear on the whole 'having friends' deal as it stood, but if this was all it took, she wouldn't complain. She shot a quick fanged grin at Eridan, but kept her place by the door.

"Not too bad." She replied to Taiki's question, shrugging. "Been playing and working on new songs here and there, just chillin'. So this guy's been taking care of you, that's good. Sucks to be sick and alone." Marceline nodded, trying to keep her tone light, but clenching her fingers tighter into her grey shirt. She didn't want to think about how she hadn't even noticed any of the stuff happening. Some kinda friend she was.

Oh, she had fangs, too. He smiled back a little less certainly, but with even more pointed teeth.

"You wwrite songs?" he asked, curious.

Taiki smiled at Marceline again, a little overwhelmed that on top of visiting him she was calling him her friend. "I... yes I guess... we are friends?" His smile got a bit brighter.

"Yes, she's really good," Taiki smiled at Eridan happily.

Whoa, that was a lot of fangs. The vampire was distracted momentarily- what in the world was that, sure didn't look like anything she'd ever seen in Ooo, but she didn't worry about it. If Taiki was hanging around him, then he couldn't be too bad, right?

A faint blush rose to her face, and she tried to laugh it off. "Yeah, I write songs, I guess if you're into the kind of stuff I write about they're good. Most of what I've played here has just been jamming though," Marceline admitted. She'd have to fix that soon...

He assumed she was a human, but hadn't seen a human with fangs like a troll before. Eridan's own teeth didn't have longer canines, but most trolls did. He wondered if she was a human variant or something else. But he supposed it didn't really matter right now.

"So you're good?" he asked, vaguely curious.

All the pointy teeth were making Taiki feel a little frightened, but it was Eridan and Marceline and neither of them would hurt him. He smiled, "She is really good.... do you like music Eridan?" He couldn't imagine the troll playing music but that was just because he seemed angry a lot and music was calming.
