[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.]

[ 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. ]

[ 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. ]

[ 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 ]

[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...

[ 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?

[ And then there's Akira: ]

Have you considered living?

[ 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.

[!!!!]

No way!

Just one bite.

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

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. ]

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. ]

[ 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.

[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.

[ Time for the big guns. ]

Think of all your cats. Of how much they’d miss you if your reckless eating habits get you killed.

Just knock him out already.

[ Akira knows where his allegiance lies and what they need to do. It's obvious there's nothing that can stop Souji from dying except their consideration.

Do it. ]

[ yusuke apparently knows him best because that is clearly what gets him to have second thoughts. y'all need to learn souji better ]

Well, when Yusuke puts it that way... Perhaps I can leave the second taste-testing to another day.

[Elliot gives a glance at Akira and raises his hand as if he's going to follow through on the order to knock him out but--

Oh thank god, Souji relented. Yusuke saved the day. He lowers his hand again]

W-Whew, yeah, good thinking.

[ Yusuke is a hero! ]

A good idea.

[ Perhaps they can teach Elliot to make decent coffee before then. ]

You're only stalling the inevitable.

[ SOUJI SAID ANOTHER DAY!! AKIRA STILL THINKS IT'S A GOOD IDEA

TO KNOCK HIM OUT.

Elliot, do it. ]

Why are you so insistent on knocking me out, Akira? Is there something more to this than you're letting on?

[ does akira want to take off his shirt instead ]

[ Looks at Akira. Is there, my friend? ]

There's no way to stop him from doing this again. We already have one bedridden Narukami, so we don't need another one.

[ He's stating the facts here. ]

You're going to have to knock me out for the rest of my life if you want to prevent me from eating ever again, though.

[ because knocking him out right now won't really change anything ]

Y-Yeah, I don't have that kind of power to keep someone sleeping forever. I'm not exactly Maleficent. I couldn't do that even if I wanted to...

[Quickly]

Which I don't, by the way!
