Re: Warning: memoryvof near suicide attempt. Warning: Arcane s 1 for now spoiler warning. Oops.

If only Cali knew, she'd probably would've told Viktor that it was only survival instincts kicking in, the response of wanting to continue to live. It truly wasn't his fault, he hadn't known Sky was going in there, it was already destabilizing when she came in, and most important, he felt remorse over what had befell her. However, Cali doesn't know, all she knows right now is that she pushed a patient too far in recounting it and as a result, he was suffering for it.

"It's not your fault, I pushed you too far in telling me this." Cali said as she finished cleaning the blood off Viktor's face.

fortunately Viktor isn't the 12 y.o. me who in hospital 'wrote' in the air 'i can't breathe i can't'

[poorcripplefrom]

[etc, making the doctors and nurses ask mom if I had adhd (I don't) pfftt. and no my lungs work great, my heart is a problem but no matter. XD enough irl back to rp pft /ooc]

[Viktor falls silent. And unresponsive at dr Cali's touch. Then, he says, curtly,]

"Thank you very much, Doctor Cali-" [wait, what was her full name? he wasn't listening much, probably, at that moment-] "...thank you, Doctor. I appreciate your patience and understanding."

Gratitude? If there is any, it does not reach Viktor's eyes. They're almost bland now save for exhaustion. His breathing is very shallow right now - which he is grateful for, at least. He's not a fan of hyperventilating which could also possibly happen and as luckily not happening right now. Instead, it's like, right now he's taking a breath once in every fifty seconds or so. That's just great. Right? His eyes are slowly closing but he's fighting to keep them open. It's a habit.

Yeah, over here, when I had appendicitis at fourteen, apparently I ended up getting really chatty

[calisugarfiend]

[OOC: while under the pain medications, I basically ended up happily cheering from my little teen lungs, 'I'm gonna be gutted like a fish' while they rolled me in for surgery. I was the doctors' favorite afterwards XD]

Cali doesn't blame Viktor for feeling that way, he's just recovering from the episode, "You're welcome Viktor, let's have you rest a bit."

Good news for Viktor, he's now cleansed of blood from his mouth. It's a nice day though to let Viktor rest and breathe in fresh air. Cali will continue to stay right by Viktor till he's ready to have a check up. Cali will make for a pretty good doctor later on in life, though for her first day, this one was certainly something else.

Ooc: never had appendicitis, had heard a few horror stories from hospital mates when I was 12

[poorcripplefrom]

[Sounds tough. /ooc]


Viktor doesn't wish to be ungrateful. But what can he even say? If...

"Back home, I should be in Stillwater prison. But I won't be. I doubt I'll tell anybody when I'm back home... ah. Maybe I should tell Jayce. But - what a disappointment to him. A man who had once accidentally raised him up, now is an innocent lab assistant's and friend's killer. Maybe he can take me to court."

Ah...

"Eh. Foot in mouth. I should-- I apologise."

And he dozes off. Probably only for a few minutes and then he will wake up again. And not talk of THAT again, maybe.

OOC: It was a bit tough, I was out for a little before being able to return to School, upside, I got

[calisugarfiend]

[OOC: a lot of neat get well soon cards and trinkets (One of which I still have as a patch)]

Cali doesn't speak for awhile, allowing Viktor to speak a bit as it's clear, he's having a bit of a time right now before he went in to sleep off the stress. Viktor really adored his friends though and Cali felt pretty bad that he was far away from them as they were his support group.

"It's okay, let's have you rest a bit." Yeah, Cali has a good future ahead for being a doctor as she let's Viktor drift off to sleep.

Re: OOC: nice

[poorcripplefrom]

[And then he wakes up. Ashamed. Irritated. Awaiting an objective judgement. After all, ms Cali was studying in the medical field and, eh, doctors did not suffer murderers, topside doctors at least - obviously, it was different back home, down in the fissures.]


"Thank you. For listening."
Viktor, only simply Viktor, utters as he wakes and this one reaches his eyes.

"I... omitted vital details. Might've made myself look more ignorant in my, uhhh, confession to you. Don't trust me, doctor. I'm a sly man. All fissure folks gotta be, one way or another. Sly and--"

He winces. No. No, he will not say dangerous, but oh, perhaps his partner was right.

Dangerous.

Like Viktor. Taking another's life, turning it to ashes and dust. Accidentally playing at becoming a god, dissolving another person for raw materials or--- what even had happened--
When he tried to correct--- to destroy the Hexcore-- he was instead met with what was perhaps a magical equivalent of being spanked.

No matter. If the core was now made of him so much so that Viktor could not kill it, connected to Viktor so deeply, that only meant that
That the Hexcore would surely be pliant in Jayce's hands. And Jayce promised to destroy it.
How long has Viktor been here in this Pokemōn world already?
Back home, surely Jayce Talis destroyed the Hexcore already. Probably while crying a little. As Jayce was still ignorant of Viktor's true nature now.

"Rest? I thought there was no rest for the wicked. Hah, that's so old a proverb now that I shan't be surprised if the Dean uses it, still. Probably to worse students. I only ever heard praises and 'slow down a little' s from him."

Professor Heinerdinger. Viktor imagines his reaction
Maybe
goodness me, my boy, why did you not stick a DANGER. HIGHLY VIOLATILE ARCANE HEX. DO NOT TOUCH ME. - post-note for the poor girl Sky Young to see? Fiddlesticks, you so should have. Where you in a hurry, my boy?


The imaginary prof Heimerdinger would surely look with such profound disappointment--

Irritated, Viktor snatched out a random butterfly that accidentally sat on his shoulder.
Oh.
The poor thing was probably dead now. A senseless death
Fortunately, as everybody knew, butterflies were short lived.

"We -- no, lately, I, the fault was in my designs - tried to do great things, miss Cali. Unfortunately."

This one reaches his eyes, too. Honest attrition. Even though he's trying to smirk. Paint himself a smalltime villain on a whim. To a doctor, should he not be a villain? Or if not a villain, somebody incompetent who achieved nothing?
A professor - what was his name - mentioned by his Dean--
No. Viktor's intentions were not as noble. He did not fiddle with HexCore for students. Unfortunately.

Still...

To dr Cali, again, Viktor utters,
"You'll become a wonderful doc, er... I just know it. I can feel it in my bones."

He almost smiles at her.

"No rest for the wicked, but, ehh, if it's doctor's orders, I'll carry the orders out like an obedient patient and rest."

And oh, is this a small genuine smile now? Even if the scientist is but trying to joke to make the miss doctor feel good.
