Characters: OPEN
Location: Death City - Clinic
Rating: Various
Time: February 2nd and onwards!
Description: The doctors and nurses are scrambling throughout the clinic to help with the sudden influx of patients.

The first casualties of the invasion started to limp their way in not long after the zombies and familiars began attacking people in the city. Fortunately there are a few concerned citizens doing their best to protect the clinic from being overrun while those within worked frantically to help anyone who was injured. Despite the desperate situation, the clinic personnel have so far been keeping their calm and working professionally to help any and all injured who come through their doors.

[daimondai]

[He shakes his head, perhaps a little too hard considering such movements usually came with yelling and wide gestures when they came from him. But between his injuries and his realization that perhaps that wasn't always the best way to react to things, he stays still otherwise.]

Or a good- [He pauses, struggling with the foreign word] - moirail either. I knew something was wrong but I thought if I just kept trying to cheer you up you'd feel better eventually. I didn't notice how... sad and mad you were.I mean, I know the madness was a lot of that but ...

[slightlylessfake]

...

[He instinctively draws his hand back to his side and looks up at the ceiling.]

The madness did make it a lot worse, so, it's, not a big deal...

[daimondai]

But it was still there, right? I... I wanna help, Tav.

[slightlylessfake]

You do help, though... just by, being my partner. I, appreciate that you want to help me more than that, I really do, but...

[rubs at his eyes a little, tiredly.]

I don't think there's anything to be, done. It's just how things are for me.

[daimondai]

But it's not!

[He had been trying to yell without thinking about it, and his voice somehow feels like it's bleeding even though he knows that's stupid, that it's just snot and soreness and oh god he wasn't going to be able to talk at all if he kept this up.

As it is, it's no yell. More like something a dying frog would make.]

I've... seen you not hurt and sad and kicking yourself... and not just when we were nuts. But I can't make you see it...

Masaru...

[He was getting a sense of deja vu, here. Kurt had gotten upset over him like this before too, hadn't he?]

I know that, I've been happy here, probably, happier than I've ever been on Alternia, but, it never lasts because I always mess something up, or something happens I can't do anything about, and it always comes back to this... I... I just, don't know what I'm supposed to do now... I'm afraid, to keep trying to be brave and strong, when I already know how it's going to, end.

[gestures to himself and the clinic room.]

This... this isn't a fairy tale. I can't be the hero like Pupa Pan, because, Pupa Pan isn't real, but I am real, and the reality is, this is what I am. I realize that, now. I'm real, and, I don't get to have a, happy ending.

[daimondai]

[Masaru takes a few heavy breaths, his voice rattling in his lungs and throat.]

You're right, this is real life. None'a us are heroes and there's no such thing as a happy ending. [Even with his ruined voice, it's obvious Masaru isn't exactly pleased]

But you DON'T know how it's gonna end. I don't, Vriska doesn't, Roy doesn't, damn it Shibusen and the Witches don't know!

It's never just gonna be good all the time, but it isn't bad all the time either. We just gotta... do our best when it's bad so we can get back to the good stuff. You don't... you don't gotta be Pupa Pan to try and have a good life. To be happy.

[slightlylessfake]

...

[He looks up at the ceiling for a minute, his breathing a little uneven.]

Can you, teach me, how to live like that?

[daimondai]

[He wants to say 'yes', but that's be the cowardly way out. He could make Tavros a clone of himself and it wouldn't fix anything.

Still, he smiles weakly, his tone softer]

No, you gotta figure that out yourself But... I'll live it with you, if you want.
