towerofanimus | Collapsing [Taiki, Eridan and open]

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.

['impossible', he'd like to say. but he knows it to be true, what with that goldblood (laughable, really) he'd spoken with earlier on the network. and the keyword here was 'considered'-- nothing about are. so.]

... I see. An' I hope you realize that's entirely incorrect?

[because, really. really. it's still a difficult concept for him to wrap his head around, let alone imagine how such a thing came to be.]

[He frowns for a second, nodding quickly]

A course it's incorrect. That's just obvvious to anyone wwho isn't entirely fuckin' biased or blind.

[Not that they aren't equally biased, but he's not about to admit to anything less to Dualscar of all people.]

[It sounded more than incorect, it sounded unjust and cruel and it made Taiki want to change it. Not that he would be able to do anything.]

They... sorry they shouldn't treat people badly for reasons like that... It's wrong... [He remembered Dualscar was in the room and paled, gripping hold of Sanshi tightly.]

[he shoots a scowl in taiki's general direction, wondering just what he meant by that. incorrect in the poor treatment of the clearly superior? yes, that was wrong. but if he meant something else to those words, he pays no immediate mind to it.]

They're usurpation 'a power occurred after the second rebellion, correct? An' your place was already firmly established by the time 'a your hatchin'?

[Eridan also looks at Taiki, not a scowl, but a slightly worried look, but he mostly remains focused on Dualscar. Yes, it's wrong, but he's not sure Taiki means the highbloods in his world, or in other worlds as well.]

That's right. It happened centuries before I wwas hatched.

[At the scowl and Eridan's look Taiki ducked his head and sank further into Sanshi's arms, listening quietly to what Eridan was saying.]

[his eyebrows raise for a fraction of a second, before they return to that seemingly permanent furrow once more. once again, he is absolutely befuddled by this alternate universe of the hemospectrum's reversion, and just how utterly impossible it otherwise was. but here was the living proof, in front of him.

what should he do? 'comfort' doesn't cross his mind, but he isn't as eager to get off on the wrong foot, so to speak, as he had with his duplicate descendant. not that he thought of it as such to begin with, but...]

I see. An' what 'a my crosshairs? Do you, too, have 'em?
