There Are More Things in Heaven and Earth

Who: Everyone involved in Death Day
Where: Noctem
When: January 21st-25th
What: Taking on Hawtrey, destroying shrines, and raiding his supplies. Surviving Noctem...or not. With a good dose of nightmares in between.
Warnings: Language. Violence. Trauma. It's an island of nightmares. Expect the worst.
Status: Open to all.

Killing Hawtrey seems to come first and foremost. The shrines can wait until after. We'll see if the wind blows fair or ill on that decision (on the 25th).

For now, the descriptions should tell you all you need to know. If not? Feel free to check / ask here.

Don't worry about him. You lost a decent amount of blood...you'd better just rest. I might have to go help, though...

[he saw her pistols lying near by and swept them closer with his tail, then placed them right next to her] here's your guns if you need them for self defense. But seriously, you shouldn't even try to stand up right now.

[he got nervous as the fight grew sore... He wanted To get Faye back to the ship but would have a hard one forgiving himself if something happened to someone else he cared about]

I'll come back for you soon as he's down, okay? We have to finish him...Cat made it sound like we'd all be in a lot of danger if we didn't.

[he didn't seems to realize or acknowledge that he was bleeding a decent amount too...the shark beast hadn't landed any bites on him, but it had scratched him all over. He had some nasty bruises developing too. Still, he started to gently lay her down so he could go help]

*Faye whimpered some more, her fingers grasping one of her pistols, but the hand of her injured arm just twitched and didn't manage it*

Are you...okay?

*She opened her eyes slightly to look up and him, trying to lift her face but not managing it for long*

...just...come back to me...

*Though the moment he did try to go off to rejoin the fight, Faye would pull herself to sit up, no matter how painful it was. She wanted to be there too, even if she felt very dizzy and confused*

Yeah, I'm fine. I've carried on fighting after much worse than this...

[he stopped himself there, knowing that wasn't the kind of thing she wanted to hear right now]

I'll come back to you. Definitely.

[once he'd laid her down, he paused to lean over and kiss her quickly but deeply, supporting the back of her head so she wouldn't have to move]

I love you... be right back.

[he jumped up, going to grab his sword before heading to the fight]

*It really wasn't what she wanted to hear. And she didn't want to think of him being hurt any worse than this. She raised her eyes to his, and though she struggled to say anything, the worry was clear. Faye closed her eyes as he kissed her, but she didn't open them again as he left, sighing heavily*

...I love you too.

*It would take Faye quite some time to get back up onto her feet. When she did, she felt fuzzy and uncertain in each step that she made. Faye knew she couldn't get too deep into the fight, so instead she'd find something to lean against and, from a distance, send the occasional bullet into the fray when needed, though her aim wasn't quite as good as it could be*

[he wouldn't have liked seeing her up like that, but didn't really have time to argue. He got involved back in the fight, launching a team attack with Namur which, though awesome, wasn't as effective as he'd hoped...in fact it only resulted in a rather small slash on the corpse king and resulted in his sword being broken. Not cool. As the fight wore on and more people got hurt, he got more pissed and disparate until he took and opportunity to bite Hawtry. He did some decent damage this time, tearing into his arm and wounding it badly enough that he couldn't use it much anymore. He got Thash back though, summoning a ghostly minion to drive a sword into him]

[the fight didn't last much longer after that, with various outlanders relentlessly attacking until finally Hawtry was dead. Thash was very impressed by Selphie's last move, but he was out of commission now. He limped back over to Faye, pressing a hand tightly over his sword wound. It was difficult to tell how deep it was....he was still covered in shark monster blood so it was impossible to see how much his own wounds were bleeding]

Hey...let's get you back to the ship now... Well actually just gimme a sec to bandage this. Don't wanna lose too much blood to help you...

[he paused a moment to make a bandage out of his cargo pants. Since he'd used his shirt for her that left him in just his shorts but he didn't seem to care. Once the wound had been covered he stood back up to offer her an arm. By now she'd know him well enough to tell by his voice and posture that he was in pain, but at least he didn't seem as lightheaded as her...he hadn't lost as much blood yet apparently]

*At first, Faye felt a small surge of relief, because Thash had come back. And that meant that, eventually, everything would be okay. But that was quickly taken over with the realisation that he was very hurt. They both were. She registered his words, and that he was right - they both needed to get back to the ship, and not just her. They needed time to heal. Everything had just seemed so exhausting lately, but in part that was her dizziness making her having strange thoughts.

As they hobbled back to the ship, it took Faye a while to remember what the whole point in all this pain had been. She'd been so worried for Thash and so dizzy from her wounds that she'd almost forgotten*

...is he gone?

[the distance back to the ship seemed so much longer now, but they covered it as quickly as Thash could manage. He knew from experience that it was better to move quickly while conscious so he could collapse in a safe place, than to baby himself and move slowly so he ended up passing out somewhere in the open]

[he gave a sigh of relief as the ship came into view, and when Faye spoke up he nodded] yeah, he's gone. It was a pain in the butt to being him down cuz of his magical crap, but I'm fairly certain he's dead for good now

Good...

*She glanced up at him, and even though she looked rather pale and her eyes were somewhat vacant, Faye attempted a smile to show that she was pleased, and proud of his efforts too. Her hand squeezed gently at his waist, half to keep herself standing, half a show of affection*

[he gave a tired smile to her as well, keeping a firm hold on her until they were both safely on the ship. He was very careful about going down the stairs, now starting to feel pretty dizzy and lightheaded himself]

Let's go patch each other up and lay down...

[he was happy she didn't seem mad at him for getting hurt this time. Maybe this qualified as a time when it had been okay to risk his life? She'd done it too after all...and of they hadn't brought Hawtry down apparently there could have been deadly consequences for all outlanders. It made sense]

[he took her to his room since the first aid kit was still in there, helping her sit on the bed then leaning down to get the kit]

*For now, Faye was too tired to argue. But a part of her did think that this was something that had been worth fighting for, especially if he could somehow jeopardise their safety and their existence in this world.

Instead of sitting down, Faye lay down across the bed, looking at Thash with watery eyes*

You're hurt the most...let me help you first.

*Although her body was just screaming to fall asleep*

You've been bleeding for longer. If we don't fix you up you won't be awake to fix me up heheh...

[his laugh was tired and quiet, not looking like he would be conscious for a lot longer himself. He put the first aid kit on the bed and opened it, getting out what he needed. He'd then remove his shirt bandage from her, clean the wound carefully, and put a real bandage on it along with some ointment that was supposed to ease pain and speed healing]

*When he was finished healing her, Faye managed to sit herself up against the pillows. The ointment takes away some of the pain and makes her feel less light headed, so she's finally able to take stock of his wounds.

Faye bit her lip as she took the first aid kit, her eyes sweeping over his body as she prepared to start cleaning his wounds*

...you're hurt.. A lot. What did he do to you...?

[most of his wounds were relatively minor...claw marks from the shark beast, scraped and bruises. However there was a rather large and ugly bruise covering much of his upper back, and a serious stab wound where a medium-sized sword had been run thorough him. He was fortunate it was low on his chest and had missed his lungs and heart, but it resumed some what heavily bleeding when he took off the makeshift bandage he'd made from his pants]

[after taking that off he leaned over on the bed, starting to look pretty pale] he had....some ghosty magic thing stab me with a sword...

*Facing him, Faye had only noticed the smaller wounds. So when she moved to deal with his back, she took a sharp breath. But she told herself not to say anything about it. The slight shake of her hands probably gave him a clue about how shocked and upset she was about it*

Ssh, sweetheart..just focus on staying with me.. We can talk about it later.

*Seeing the blood, Faye moved quickly to clean the wounds and use the ointment, then wrapped it up with a tight, clean and cushioned bandages*

You'll be fine...

Heh...I feel better already...

We should probably sleep though

[even though he was exhausted and still sore all over, he wanted to at least get up to pull the bloody blankets off the bed so they could lay down somewhere cleanish. He didn't dare go lay down in Faye's bed though; they were still a little too bloody for that. He frowned as he pulled himself to the side of the bed, trying to slowly stand up]

You're sure?

*Faye moved round to face him, biting her lip as she placed a hand on his cheek*

I'm sure I could sleep forever...

Don't stand up. Just lift yourself a little.

*Faye pulled the cover off the bed from underneath him and took the duvet out from inside. Fortunately it wasn't too stained. Then she placed in lovingly over Thash before getting in beside him and trying to figure how to lie without hurting her shoulder*

'Kay...[he lifted himself enough for her to do what she needed then laid back down with a groan. He was laying on the side furthest from his stab wound, and would help Faye if he could to lay in a position that was comfortable. Then he put an arm around her and closed his eyes]

Thanks for coming to help me, Faye. I really needed you this time...that guy...um, thing... would have killed me for sure without you there.

*It took her a few moments, but she wanted to be able to lie down without too much pain while also being as close to Thash as possible*

You always need me...

*But she didn't say it unkindly, it was more of a whispered teasing. To show it, Faye inched a little closer to press a warm kiss to his lips*

That thing -

*She cut herself short. Faye looked at Thash's face, his eyes closed, and she knew that he needed to rest. But she remembered that look in his eye...the expression that was so similar to that creature's... But she doesn't think it's fair to press it on him now, so she changed what she was going to say*

You rescued me from that thing too. So thank you. For saving me. Again.

Hahah...yeah, you're right. You saved my tail and I saved yours. You're always there when I need you. And I'll do my best to be there when you need me too. [he nuzzled a little closer and kissed her as well, then exhaled slowly and relaxed]

I know, sweetheart. You're always there for me too...

*Faye kissed him one more time before closing her eyes and relaxing into a sleep*
