Earth (Second timeline)
-
Casi narrowed her eyes,”I have.no idea, but he left a message.” The girl padded over to the small man, pocketing her gun after she clicked on the saftey. She held her hand out to the small man, in a peacefully gesture.
-
-Dirk came out and saw his little buddy on the table and scooped him up. “How’d Cal get here?” He remarked and held him. Dave came out as well and read the message etched into the table. “damn… Casi… You need to read this…” Dave said to her. Termes stayed on the ground until Equius pulled him up into his arms. Termes went to speak but Equius placed a finger over his mouth to silence him. “Save what strength you have left to trying to survive,” He said to Termes and held him very carefully. Termes gripped Equius’s hand and tried to pull it away when saying, “The timeline I am from… was doomed anyways… I just… wanted to kill… him…” Equius looked Termes over and took off his shades and took off what was left of Termes’s frames with the same hand. He tossed the frames aside and placed his cracked glasses over Termes’s eyes.-
-
Casi blinked,”Hm,Cal, that’s cute.” She said simply and scooted over to Dave to read the message.
-
-The message read “Dave, I am sorry. Casi, if things had gone differently, I’d of asked you to be my red. I am sorry. ~ Cunneris”. Dave looked at it and said, “So… He fails… but he passed through here… just to write this?” He looked at all the blood and said, “He must have been dying…” Equius looked up at them and then back to Termes, “Are you the last one?” Termes nodded and choked out, “I was sent to kill Eriess and… Antige… Armane and Fenrie were exe… executed… the rest… when I came back… they were all dead… he attacked me first but… he was shaking and… bloody… and… we struck each other… I… tried to… follow… him…” He was running out of life quickly. Equius looked at him and then up at Casi and siad, “Did you hear him? He should be the last to come here through the doomed timeline.” Dirk looked at them and then at Cal and said, “There’s… not a shred of evil left in him… He cleaned Cal…”-
-
Casi nodded,”I heard his words,” she walked over to Termed and knelt on hos free side. She didn’t understand the Cal part but she grasped Termed free hand and squeezed softly before letting it go. “I’m sorry that you had to go through all of that, I truely am.” Her voice was soft as she talked to the doomed version of her friend.
-
-Termes leaned his head to look at her and smirked, “I’m… still an ass… yeah?” He grunted a bit and felt himself relax, unable to even attempt to move anymore. Equius watched and just stayed silent, holding Termes up. Dirk went over behind Casi and knelt down. He held Cal and then did something odd. He started to focus, silently on something he was about to do. Dave left the room to figure things out. Karkat now had Cunneris on his shoulders but he didn’t come the whole way out due to noticing the blood everywhere. He didn’t want the little one to see.-
-
Casi flinched at the touch and relaxed, giving Termed a sad smile,”Yeah, an ass with a heart made of his skill.” She patted hos chest lightly,”It would be a.great shame if it stooped, so try to keep it going,will ya?” The girl held his hand again, closing her eyes behind her shades.
-
-Termes couldn’t move and stopped talking so he could just breath. Dirk looked at her and then at him and said, “I can save him… I don’t know if he’d like it though.” Equius looked at Dirk and siad, “You aren’t going to put his soul in that horrid juju, are you?” Dirk looked at Equius and said, “Cal isn’t horrid… He is clean now. It will be alright. He’d live and if he’s powerful enough, can make the body move.” Termes just barely glanced out the bottom of the shades at the small plush puppet. He just breathed deeper and heavier but more raggid as time ran out.-
-
Casi thought quickly,”Blink twice for yes, once for no.” The girl squeezed his hand once more. She was tense under Dirk’s hold, her hoodie slipping down from her small frame.
-
-Termes closed his eyes as if to try to blink his answer but he had trouble opening them. Instead he forced out, “the hit… was just…” He stopped breathing and the body was going cold. Dirk looked at him and said, “Equius, you’re the parent… you decide…” Equius looked at Termes and instead held the body close. “I wouldn’t want him to suffer the indignity of being trapped in that body… but do it..” Dirk went to yank out the dying soul and placed it into Cal. He then waited to try and feel the soul. Equius just kept hold of the body.-
-
Casi closed her eyes and kept hold on hos hand for a while, then gently moved it so it was placed on his chest. The girl hoped that this worked, and not at the same time. Either he lives and is trapped or dies and joins his friends. The last one sounded more promising to Casi, but then again she wasn’t Termes.
-
-Dirk felt his puppet and looked at them and said, “The soul is strengthening quickly. If we can fix the body and replace some of the blood, he might be able to be transferred back but… We need to work fast.” Jane came out and started working on that. Jade went to Equius and said, “Are you going to donate? I can make sure you don’t run out of blood during it.” Equius looked up at her and said, “Yes.” He held his one arm out after placing the body down gently. Jade started finding a point on his arm that it’d be best to take blood from. Dirk felt the soul in the Cal doll grow very quick then the doll slapped him. Dirk rubbed his face and said, “He’s okay now, just to get the body back.” The doll’s head turned to the body and the jaw dropped. It was obvious he couldn’t speak.-
-
Casi waved at the doll, if a little shyly and started to relax. The girl scooted away from the body, to give Jane some room. She crouched a little ways away, and let herself started to think about the message. Cunneris red for her? He might have to check up on that as Casi was sure that no one would really love her that way. Really, and she hasn’t started the game yet, what’s to love about her?
-
-Jane patched up the body and warmed up water to hold the heat of the body up. She then started to try and get the heart pumping by pressing on the chest. Jade got some of the blood from equius flowing into a small tube then placed it into the wrist of Termes so as it started to flow, it’d get more. Jade looked at Equius and said, “If you start to feel feint.. alert me.” Jane kept pumping it and said, “Start to put the soul back in.” Dirk pulled the soul from Cal and slowly placed it back into the body. The body still laid there for a bit. Jade got worried and said, “Equius, start pumping your fist.” He did as asked to make the blood flow faster. “Starting to feel a bit weird,” Equius spoke quick. Jade helped his blood regenerate faster. Karkat came out and was holding Cunneris to his chest so he didn’t see the on-goings and said, “Is everything going alright out here?” Cunneris wanted to look but Karkat held his head firm.-
-
Casi snapped out of her thoughts and watched with careful eyes. She shifted her weight in her crouch and shoved her hands in her.hoodie pocket. The girl noticed Cunneris,”Everything is..stable at the.moment Karkat. No need to trouble your self.”
