I think Haru has a cure spell, but it would be inconvenient to call her up for just this...

[ So don’t mind if Akira picks Souji up like a bride. The guy is a little heavy and Akira is still kind of tired from last month, but it’s fine. The guest room isn’t far. ]

Should we get him a change of clothes, too? At least a shirt...

[fabrefactions]

For this? Yes. Don't disturb her for this.

[ Sorry Sooj. You'll just have to sleep this off and be princess carried by Akira instead. ]

Maybe a dressing gown? Something warm.

[tarotcards]

[ carry and dress him like one of your french girls ]

[fiddlestick]

Careful Akira!

[Don't over do it!! We don't want two passed out protags]

Do we have any dressing gowns?

[maskreant]

[ Squints at all of you. He’s going to head to the guest room, but does say: ]

... Yusuke and Souji are kind of the same height. Let him borrow one of your shirts.

[fabrefactions]

Is that going to be warm enough? I could find a sweater...?

[fiddlestick]

[Following along!]

If only we had a snuggie...

[maskreant]

The guest room has a blanket. It’ll be fine.

[ And into the guest room they go where Akira deposits Souji’s corpse. Go get the shirt!! Or a sweater! Whichever is fine! ]

[fabrefactions]

[ Well okay I guess we're getting? A blanket or two?? Blankets, just dumped unceremoniously over Souji's corpse. ]

[fiddlestick]

[After the corpses gets dumped, Elliot will step over and work on getting that soaked shirt off. Only fair considering he was the one to poison him...

While he does that, he starts singing a song to help neutralize any poison.]

♫ Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
Tell me, everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete ♫

[As always, there's glowing and falling glowing feathers. You know the gist. Souji will still be unconscious, but at least any poison in him will be stopped before it kills him.]

[tarotcards]

[ smacking souji won't wake him up. splashing a bunch of water on him won't wake him up. carrying him upstairs won't do anything, but a song about a cat? hell yeah, that does. it's probably because the poison is now gone so his body isn't going "let's have the host sleep for 29382910 years to recover". so yayyy, souji is awake, you guys did it! bad thing is that he wakes up as elliot is taking off his shirt?????? ]

[ he lifts his head with a small groan, hand going to reach for his head,
but then he opens his eyes and freezes ]

... am I interrupting something?

[ nani da fuk ]

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot wasn't expecting Souji to wake up. His spell shouldn't wake up people, from his experience. So when Souji moves and groans? He freezes, staring like a deer in the headlights, while in the middle of undoing one of Souji's shirt buttons.]

S-S-Souji- ?!

[THIS IS BAD. RED ALERT. THIS IS BAD. What does he do?! He's sitting on a bed taking off a man's shirt- what is he--]

I-I-It's not w-what it-

[WORDS ARE NOT WORKING, THIS IS REALLY BAD. WHAT DOES HE DO?? SOUJI WASN'T SUPPOSED TO WAKE UP-

Somehow, in his panic, his brain jumps to Plan B. He raises his hand and starts to conjure one of the magic bubbles he uses for a sleep spell. There's no real thought process beyond: Souji Awake and that's bad > Souji was supposed to be asleep > PUT SOUJI BACK TO SLEEP????

Akira please stop him.]

[fabrefactions]

[ Oh, was that Souji's voice he just heard coming from the bed? Well then, time to check in on their friend and see how he's doin---

...

...

... ]

Elliot, what are you doing?

[ Is he taking bout the sensual stripping? Or the knock out bubbles? Who knows. ]

[maskreant]

[ Hey. Salvation is supposed to cure shit. Maybe you shouldn’t have overdosed, though. Akira isn’t questioning Elliot for stripping him. They can’t let their guest rest with a wet top, but the bubble does raise alarm. With wide eyes, he’s quick to grab Elliot’s wrist. ]

Calm down.

[ And don’t accidentally knock out Akira instead. Shhhh. He turns to Souji with a sympathetic look, hoping to clear up the misunderstand. ]

We were planning to switch you into a dry shirt.

[ Does it explain this ball of chloroform? No. ]

[tarotcards]

[ yeah but is salvation a cat song? yeah, souji didn't think but anyway, this... this is concerning. what is this bubble, why is elliot screaming, why is he wet, why is he suddenly here, what is going on ]

... what happened?

[ maybe it really is easier to knock him out rather than explain everything ]

[fiddlestick]

[Luckily (or maybe unlucky if he rather sleep through this mess), when Yusuke asks what he's doing along Akira grabbing his wrist and telling him to calm down- it corks the panic. Or gets some sense into him. The bubble pop safely and disappear. As the bubble pops, they can hear the first few chords of a lullaby play before it goes quiet, knocking out no one. ]

Uhhhh...

[DEEP BREATH. OKAY. NO NEED TO COMMIT ASSAULT TODAY]

Y-Y-You passed out...

[fabrefactions]

[ Crisis averted....? ]

Yes. We were going to put you in some dry clothes and let you sleep.

[ Appreciate how much they spoil you Souji. It’s the least they can do, given how Elliot killed and resurrected you at the same time with his terrible magic coffee. Speaking of: ]

Out of curiosity, have you considered cutting down your caffeine intake?

[maskreant]

[ And then there's Akira: ]

Have you considered living?

[tarotcards]

[ souji pushes himself up so he could sit upright in the bed. the wet clothes does... feel terrible and he does appreciate that they were going to get him changed so thanks but before any thank yous and answering their questions, he falls silent with a hand to his chin. he keeps quiet for a few seconds before he speaks up again ]

... maybe it was just a fluke. Let me try again.

[fiddlestick]

[!!!!]

No way!

[tarotcards]

Just one bite.

[ he lifts up his index finger to emphasize that, yes, he will take just one bite ]

[fabrefactions]

I thought once was enough for you. We can have Elliot knock you out if you want.

[ Not via, uh... ... terrible coffee and death steak. ]

[maskreant]

Close your eyes, Souji. This won't hurt.

[ Both hands up, he wiggles his fingers as if he's going to do something, but it isn't him that's going to knock him out.

It's going to be Elliot. ]

[tarotcards]

[ wow guys try to be more supportive?? souji definitely isn't going to close his eyes :/ ]

A second try isn't going to kill me. I might be immune now.

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot is going to try reasoning one more time...]

Or it could be the bite to do you in.

Please Souji. Don't do this to yourself.
