( OPEN ) feel like i'm falling down

[eyescar]

WHO: Yuji Itadori & you!
WHAT: Yuji has once again been the first guinea pig for the upgrades on offer from LILITH and is paying the price.
WHERE: Across the base
WHEN: End of the month
WARNINGS: References to brain surgery, time distortion, and other medical related things. Info about the side effects of the surgery here.

A.

[ The first moments after being released from the medical room are fine - or, Yuji thinks they're fine, at least. Megumi takes him back to his room and takes care of him, but eventually he gets a little stir-crazy and wants to go and get something to eat, and that leads him to the situation that he's in right now.

Anyone coming across Yuji in the corridor will see him walking down, but at a strangely slow pace. It's as if he's tiptoeing, and he has a face of such utter concentration on his features that it might be endearing if he wasn't also wincing, holding his arms out either side of him. It's as if he's walking along a balance beam, wobbling here and there.

It's comical, and when he realises someone is in front of him he lifts his head, slowly, as if underwater. ]

... Hi?

B.

[ Getting out of bed was probably a mistake.

Yuji had made his way to the library, a quiet place where he wouldn't have to worry too much about being bothered or poked and prodded, but everything had felt so loud. Every time he tried to sit down the pain of it was enough to have him twitching, tears prickling in his eyes, and when he lifts his hand to wipe them away it's as if someone has shoved a hot poker against his skin. It's too much, and way worse than the surgery he had last time, that for a moment he wonders if it was worth it.

(It will be, once this is over, but right now he feels as if his body is out of control).

The overstimulation leads him to crawling under one of the tables, tucking himself against it and shoving his face into his knees, looking far too much like his brother for anyone not to notice the similarities should they come across Choso hiding in the future.

He's crying off and on, but doing his best to pretend he isn't, just in case someone comes across him. ]

[ maybe they can share him. and choso by default. ]

... I wonder if Shizu's sister can feel what she does, too...

[ is it worse if you're a twin... maybe she should check in on the big guy too. bring him something tastier than a baked parfato. consoling people isn't her strong suit is that obvious. ]

I didn't know siblings had that kind of downside, though. Maybe I got off lucky with none. Um, at least it shouldn't be too long until your body stops rejecting your surgery I guess -- and it'll be worth the trouble too, probably.

[ Then Yuji will be jealous... ]

It's because of our technique, not because we're brothers. Or it's because we're brothers that we have the technique, or... Something like that. It's the blood either way.

[ Sometimes you eat something you shouldn't, and now you have blood powers. ]

It's been a few days, so... Soon, right?

[ignoreher]

[ is



is this related to the finger he ate, ]

In that case, I guess the other Librarians would probably be the closest thing to it... but it doesn't feel right to call them family either.

[ or rather, she could, but... hmm. maybe not in a distinct role-like way. they're important to her and she loves them. ]

But yeah, soon enough. You've just got to hang in there a little longer! Do you want me to walk you back to your room? And... do you have a favorite animal, by chance?

[eyescar]

[ No actually.




It's worse. ]

You get it! I'm glad.

[ It makes no sense without the context, Yuji... Still, he sighs, rubbing his face. ]

... Would that be okay? I don't think I can stay down here any more, it'll just cause problems. [ Blink. ] I like dogs?

[ignoreher]

[ What Do You Mean "It's Worse." ]

It's no problem, and perfect! I've got some extras from trying to make Yuwon's wolf.

[ it is..... hard to make a difference between the two she's finding out. but she'll scoot away from the table and stand up, hand out and waiting as she speaks encouragingly. ]

Take the blanket with you when you come out and make a cloak out of it. I'll hold your hand so you have one point to focus on, rather than have too much all at once. What's your number?

[eyescar]

[ Sometimes, Yuji eats things worse than fingers -

Wiggling a little, Yuji shifts forward, taking the blanket and wrapping it around himself. It's like armour, somehow, and it makes him feel better as he crawls out from under the table and winces. He's still so over-sensitive, but...

It's getting better.

Maybe holding hands will activate his healing, too. ]

Thanks... I really appreciate this. I'm seven, in Everlight.

[ignoreher]

I made a point to know everyone's faces, at the very least, in Everlight. I'm down the hall in fifteen.

[ she takes his hand, squeezing lightly, and starts at a leisurely pace. ]

If you'd like to repay me somehow -- totally not necessary, but I know how some people are -- then I like all things ducks! They're my favorite animal, I love how they waddle around.

[eyescar]

I think I'm getting there! I'm pretty friendly with most people.

[ The squeeze helps, even if it still feels a little like he has agonising pins and needles. ]</small. I'll go and look for some cute ducks just for you!
