Earth (Second timeline)

-Nepeta looked over at Casi and smiled, “You gots a good matesprit… He seems purrfect.” Vriska looked at them, she still had her mask on that prevented her from talking. Jane watched them carefully. Cunneris stayed in the no signs group and noticed he forgot a microscope, or at least thought he did. One appeared beside him and though the resonnance was his, it was not his doing. He picked it up and placed it up into reach. Karkat pressed himself up against a wall and strted coughing. Cunneris took the first Syringe and jabbed it into Karkat and took some blood. Karkat jumped a bit then went over to the showing signs group and found a corner to sit in. Cunneris placed the syringe on the one side and grabbed the next empty one and prepped it. He then went over to the room of those showing symptoms and said, “Casi, I need some blood from you.”-
-
Casi nodded and stretched out her arm, showing him her wrist. “From the wrist might be easier to draw blood from.” She turned her head and coughed lightly, spitting out a few drops of blood. The illness was still there but not as strong as before.
-
-Cunneris stuck her wrist accurately and without incuring a sting, pulling the blood from her arm then pulling the syringe out and said, “Make sure the two others are ready, I got Karkat already.” He headed back over and placed that syringe to the side and labeled it. He pulled another empty one and ran back over. Nepeta pulled up a sleeve. Vriska found a corner and shivered in it, a bit scared. Karkat smiled a bit and layed down in the corner he was in.-
-
Casi shrugged, Nepeta fooled good and Vriska looked scared. She scooter over to the troll and patted her arm,”It’s just a little blood.” She said kindly and swiped her lips, wiping blood away. The girl scooter back to Ger corner.
-
-Cunneris came back into the room and went to Nepeta, her holding out her arm and letting him take some of her blood. Nepeta then said something odd, “This doesn’t feel too bad..” Cunneris smiled and said, “I learned it just from reading. I may not be perfect but… I retain information.” He took the syringe out and ran back over. Vriska was still shivering but prepared her arm. Cunneris set the syringe down and picked up another empty one and ran back over. Vriska held her arm out and Cunneris took her blood quickly and headed back out again. He went and started to place them into vials, making sure each of the bloods covered at least ten vials each. He then took an empty syringe and drew his own blood and placed that into vials. He looked and saw Equius starting to go but it was hitting him hard. He went over and drew blood then quickly pushed him over into the other room. Equius knelt down in the middle of the showing signs room and was coughing up a lot of blood, like something had been holding it away until then. Cunneris had made note of it and placed the blood into vials and used extra to place on petri dishes and started examining it. He was careful to watch the properties. Meanwhile, Nepeta wanted to hold Equius but he moved away from her, not wanting her to get it worse.-
-
Casi watched Equius silently, she pulled her knees up and rested her chin on them. Her face was blank and didn’t have a clear emotion. She coughed again, into her knees and swiped some raven bangs from her shades.
-
-Karkat watched Equius and looked down then went over to Jane and said, “What if he can’t find a cure? Will there be a way to save the others?” Jane looked at him and said, “There is but I wouldn’t put that on anyone. So don’t even offer.” Karkat looked down and went back to his corner and said, “I’d still do it…” Feferi actually had came back and joined them in the showing signs room, fuschia blood stained from her mouth to her chin and both purple and brown blood stained to her clothes. Karkat put his head in his arms. Cunneris worked as fast as he could and tried introducing chemicals to certain samples. He was very careful in trying to find something that wasn’t harmful but would eat the infection. He would only use a drop at a time under the microscope to examine it. Though it looked like Casi’s blood had beaten it easily. He had to move to the troll blood. He was careful and examined Equius’s first. He was looking through the different chemical effects and only found alot that could kill. He wanted to give up but he didn’t and pressed on. Eridan had to join the showing signs room and placed himself in the center of a wall.-
-
Casi was thinking about the cure also, what made human blood kill the poison. Well humans when through their air faster and cleared it out more faster then trolls. So did trolls breath slower? Or did they have a different gas exchange then humans? The girl though hard about it, if you add human blood to troll blood, would the human blood kill the poison? Or make it worse? Casi didn’t know, and she sighed.
-
-Cunneris went through every chemical and couldn’t find anything solid so started combining. Equius stayed on the center of the ground, coughing up blood and looking very pale. Nepeta couldn’t stand to watch. Karkat had also had enough and went up to Jane, “This is taking too long… DO IT FUCKING NOW!” Jane shook her head and said, “No.. He will come up with something. Equius is strong, he will survive.” Karkat took her by the front of her shirt and said, “Does it look like it?!” He coughed a bit into his own shoulder and said, “Help him now…” Jane siad, “I can’t… it’d risk whoever is going to help.”-
-
Casi stood up and when to Jane,”Since I can’t leave, I have an idea for the cure. If you can, ask Cunneris to mix human blood with troll blood and see what it does.” The girl was thinking that the human blood would kill the poison then the troll blood killing the human blood. She retreated back to her corner again.
-
-Jane thought on in and batted Karkat away and went over to Cunneris. She said, “Casi said try adding her blood to the other types.” She then went back over and closed the doors behind her and said, “I told him.” Karkat grabbed back onto Jane and said, “Come on, at least help Equius…” Equius was laying on the floor only moving when he coughed. Jane said, “Can’t risk it… go to your fucking corner and stay there.” Karkat shook his head and said, “No…” Jane looked at Casi for help. Cunneris took in the suggestion and added a drop of human blood into the troll blood and watched it. He saw some progress but not enough and he tried adding one of the better working chemicals with it. He watched how it reacted but he wasn’t at a cure yet. He dropped everything and ran over to the other room, and said, “Casi! You’re a genious!” Then slammed the door back shut and went back to work.-
-
Casi blinked, then shrugged, the girl crept up to Equius and gently moved his head to a position so he can breath easier. Then backed off again, back to her claimed corner. Seeing Cunneris’ reaction, I guess she helped in some way. She tucked her self neatly, scanning the room, her shades hiding her eyes.
-
-Jane sighed and said, “He sounds close… He can wait.” Karkat shook his head, “No he can’t… Just help him a little.” Jane looked at Equius and then at Karkat, “Fine… Take it you volunteer?” Karkat nodded and then went over near Equius. Jane went to them and hunkered down to touch both Equius and Karkat. In the room of those showing signs, a breeze was felt despite the room being at a stand still air wise, a pocket devoid of the tainted air being made next to the bed in the room as the form of Tavros collected itself and he stayed put in his bubble. Feferi stood up and said, “But… I saw you die!” Tavros smiled and siad, “I tried to, uh, save Gamzee… It let me ascend.” Jane then didn’t feel so bad about the transfer of illness to Karkat and did so. Karkat felt worse and worse, but Equius started being able to move again. Jane said, “Tavros, leave the room.” “Not to worry,” He said, “I am in my own little air bubble.” Karkat went to his corner, coughing up a storm. Equius stood up and looked at Karkat with a deep sense of thanks. As Karkat felt himself slip, he glowed a little bit as he died. Jane smirked and said, “More God Tiers… Perfect.” Cunneris kept working on a cure as quickly as he could.-
-
Casi watched slightly confused then shrugged to her self. She was glad Tavros is alive, and thar Karkat will be God teir. The girl coughed again spitting out a glob of blood beside her and pulled her knees up.
-
-Jane stared at Karkat’s body and shook her head. She then said, “Anyways… I hope he hurries.” Equius let himself be over with Nepeta then, them snuggling a bit. Well, more like her snuggling on him and him trying to not harm her. Cunneris found certain things that reacted better but he felt himself starting to cough. He frowned and said, “Shit… Need to move faster.” He took what seemed to work the best and placed the human blood mixture in a syringe. He decided he needed to test it and he turned his arm over on the table and waved Terezi over. She came up to him and he ripped off a part of his coat and said, “Tie this on my arm.” Terezi nodded and did as asked. He then waited for his arm to feel like it was starting to loose a little feeling and then injected himself with a little bit of the mixture. He felt something happening and got very dizzy. He placed the the syringe down before it hurt anyone and tried to take the tie off. He released it but then couldn’t even stand up straight. Terezi placed her hand on him and ran out and to the other room, not caring for her safety, “JANE! HE PASSED OUT!” Jane jumped and ran over to check him over.-
