Not true, just the first on you've paid attention to, preening asshole.

[Better. Fingertips ran alongside the marks, leaning a little closer just to se better, pressing the skin a little to judge how deep with a low noise in his throat. Yeah, he knew how these felt. Had a few himself from when he'd went after Kazuma when he was on the one track rampage though the woods.

He let two fingers rest beside the deepest ones-]
It wouldn't hurt to stitch these two up a bit.

You going to let me?

[Asking first at least.]

This isn't my first time working with shadows, or turning in to some sort of monstrous beast. I get it, though. I know I'm taking a hell of a risk, but the only way to figure this shit out is to practice.
steadypulse: (This is probably one of them. Probably)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-27 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[That earned a flat look-]

Do I look like the type to flirt to you?

[No.

Moved his hands then, looking through the bag as he tugged out a medical kit. Sterile curved needle and thread, cleaning around those two deeper lacerations before he gave a small warning and starting sewing skin back together. Curved hook always worked better with stitching wounds.

Clearly he had insisted.]


Never been great at any of that.
steadypulse: (With this)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-27 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Funny.

[He still wiped blood away to better see what he was doing, even if he noted what happened to it after a few seconds. So he ended up blowing a bit of that smoke away, too. Stitches were something he was good at, at the very least. Be able to still move the shoulder when he was done.

Had gotten in a lot of practice to do them in such a way on himself, after all.]


Personal issues he'd been struggling with in the other place, too. Came to something of a head here.

[It was obvious that 76 was keeping it vague simply because it wasn't his business to tell. Even if the vagueness may have given the fact 76 had known Kazuma before this dream world.]

Been keeping an eye on him since he changed in to what you saw. [Hadn't realized Kazuma would be protective over him like that. Wanting him to take care of himself was one thing but, well.]
steadypulse: (The fuck you even talking about now)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-27 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Eyes rolled, even if them being pure black made it hard to tell, but boy did it hang in his voice a bit.]

You're hardly any better.

[He tied thread for the first, and then went to start on he second deep slice just the same as he had the first. A little warning with a tap of his finger before piercing skin and keeping a steady hand.]

Nope, that's a new one. He's a lawyer, apparently.
steadypulse: (But here we are)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-27 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[There was that hiss of pain with how tender those ribs were yet again, and a swat with the hand not holding a needle in retaliation for it. Asshole.]

Doesn't make them nonexistent, smartass.

[Fingers were idly rubbing skin as he noticed the twitching, some bit of distracting and more soothing touch even if it wouldn't really do that much. Was an old habit whenever he had to do stitches without having something to numb localized pain.

Corner of his mouth twitched the tiniest bit at the hiss then.]


When I met him, he was running a bar with an underground fight ring. Don't think I've got to worry about that.
steadypulse: (The fuck you even talking about now)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Second chance? At what? This wasn't a second chance, just some side-track where he hadn't signed up for being flung in to a second world. No, this was finishing a job that he'd started so he could get back to the mission.]

I'm not the one moping here, and I can take care of myself.

[Just keeping it to the most basic of tasks. This was a dream, and his body was elsewhere; why waste the effort on just a fraction of himself? Real as everything felt and acted with the passing of time, he'd heal and deal with things as they came.

He tugged the thread tight, careful and slow, as fingertips still worked out of habit to distract and soothe as it pulled to close the wound. All the better to secure it and break the end of the thread.]


Someone else was the bar tender. He hasn't taken up any job here, nothing like that at least.
steadypulse: (I'm not your father)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Keep myself running, doesn't matter outside of that.

[And was no concern of Reaper's, which was what struck him over the fact that the man was actively checking up on him here. That he made himself not think too much on-

Which was made that much more difficult given the promise of a threat earlier.

76 sat back on his knees, going through the practiced motions of cleaning the needle he'd used so it could be put back in the kit, along with the thread put aside to be further dealt with later.]


He owned the bar, ran the business and the fight club underneath it.

[Not answering what he was doing there, of course.]
steadypulse: (... This shit again. Really?)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I've looked worse, and actually dead.

[The entire "Essence" had made him some chimeric undead creature after all, but he was remaining vague over a... lot of details.

He glanced up then, and held a hand out for the bandaging Reaper had dug out. The look alone said very clearly 'It's easier for me to do it' and it wasn't like he'd be wrong. They both knew it.]


Mm, even if it was less a club and more a ring where the fights could be bet on.

[He might have spent a lot of down time there-] Not how I met him, of course.
steadypulse: (This is probably one of them. Probably)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
The world I was in before being thrown in to this one. It's why I'm familiar with working with shadow, too.

[Why he even gave out the information he did, not knowing how death might work here and just- avoid that for whoever he could. You felt it every single time, even if coming back from it. It clung.

He took that bandaging and paused for a brief moment-]
Be easier if you had the shirt off, too. [Leaving that with that, even was he worked to find the end of the bandaging from the roll it was kept in.]

Time.
steadypulse: (The fuck you even talking about now)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Just because it's temporary doesn't change it.

[He remembered drowning, so used to not needing to worry about it that it had slipped his mind until it was too late, and no matter how hard he'd fought what had gotten a hold of him-

76 let out a breath.]
Fine. After I get your bandaging wrapped, I'll take off my own. [Compromise- because if he did it before the man would likely get distracted from sitting still.]

Took up a job at his bar as the cook.
steadypulse: (With this)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[76 didn't answer right away, sitting on his knees and instead act as if he wasn't going to.

Rather, he watched Reaper remove the shirt- the fact the mask came off was also a surprise, letting his gaze linger briefly. Didn't look bad, honestly. White hair looked good on the bastard. Even if he probably didn't always look like that, if Ana's reaction was anything to go by, but still.

The look fit.

He only spoke once he started the bandaging, wrapping to protect the stitching and allow the not so deep cuts to heal]


Last one remember- [Implying it might not have been the first.] Water my lungs after burning for air. I couldn't get to the surface because I'd been knocked under water and swarmed by too many things to fight off alone. Bleeding and attracting more.

I don't know how long it lasted. [Drowning was horrible, and he'd clearly been aware the entire time. Could imagine what was being left unsaid as he looped some under Reaper's opposite arm before returning to help anchor it in place.]

Gave me something to do, when not in the fighting ring.

[Amongst other hobbies he took up.]
steadypulse: (This is probably one of them. Probably)

[personal profile] steadypulse 2021-11-29 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[There was no judgement, and no shying away. Fingers brushed scars and burn alike in the movements of steady and firm hands in his task. Smoothing a hand over bandage and skin alike to make sure it would lay in place correctly as possible. Some scars he'd already known, and the new ones with the burns were no surprise.

He carried the same.

Hands slid under some bandaging to make sure nothing twisted, and it wasn't being wrapped too tightly. Brought palms and fingers over burns, scars, and otherwise bare skin, movement slow and showing more the appearance didn't deter him, didn't hurry to get it over with but rather wanted to take the time to make sure the job was done right.]


Brain makes it all seem longer, slow motion even as it goes black. Feeling every burn and ache, and teeth digging in to skin. [He'd been attacked the entirety of it. Losing blood, losing strength, even as he drowned. Being ripped at, torn in to, making it not just a simple drowning.

Point was? It still clung to him, enough he remembered details, the feeling. He knew, he understood.

76 breathed a quiet thanks at Reaper moving hair out of the way as he worked, having made sure his hand passed under it, but it kept falling back in the way.]


There was too much down time, and hunting it an occasional spar did little. So I fought a lot of orcs, assholes the lot of them were. Satisfying fights, at least. Hit heavier than Reinhardt.
