"Oh..." Nick never considered that, most of the time Marius looked fine. No wonder he is barely present in reality. The researcher loosened up the tourniquet again and checked carefully under the bandage if the blood stopped. "Does any physical contact worsen the burning and the pain?"

CHOMP

OW

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

"Everywhere? I have it only in my back all the time but yours is everywhere?" Nick paused, processing the information. "Wait, isn't your body supposed to regenerate fully when you die? Why are you in pain?"

CHOMP

OW

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

"Be careful with hands, please. Sorry." Nick checked Marius' neck again just to be sure and looked at his face. "Stay awake. How do you feel right now? Does anything else hurts or any other sensations in the body besides the pain in the neck?"

CHOMP

OW

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

Nick chuckled and checked if the tourniquet was still with good pressure.

"So far I'm full time ship's parasite."

CHOMP

OW

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

Nick looked at Marius, surprised.

"Oh, uh, yes. Before going into research I graduated from medical uni. Nothing fancy, just general practice doctor. At least that's what it said on my ID. I don't remember myself, with my calculations I supposed to graduate right before The Fire happened. Which means I don't have memories of it."

CHOMP

OW

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

"I still can't get used to you all being so okay with getting hurt and dying, sorry." Nick put the pressure back, making it a bit tighter and resetting the timer. "Gunfire and explosions, some screams in the distance, weird smells and sounds from time to time... I don't know. I supposed to keep people alive with my profession and you here treat death as fun. I don't judge and it would be hypocritical of me to do so but it's just... Sorry." The researcher sighed and looked away with embarrassment.

CHOMP

OW

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

Nick looked at the pills and hesitated.

"I.. I don't think I will take that risk, I'm sorry. I know you will be fine if you die, I just.. I just don't want you to be in pain." Nick checked if the blood stopped or not by lowering the pressure and carefully lifting up the bloody roll of bandages.

CHOMP

OW

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

"Got it. How do you feel right now? Hurts a lot? Maybe some painkillers? I remember you carry those around with you, don't you?" Nick let out a shaky breath and added, hardly audible. "Please don't die..."

CHOMP

OW

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

"Yes, I'm here. I'll help." Nick gave Marius a weak smile and began to work immediately.

He gently raised the second arm and made a roll out of bandages, pressing it down on the wound. Then, ze got the tourniquet and tied together the opposite from the wound arm the the neck, so one of the arteries would still work. Ze checked the time on his watch and set the timer to 15 minutes. Now he have to wait for the blood to stop.

"How... how did you end up here?" Nick looked around and then at his best friend with concern, but zirs voice was still soft and a bit trembling.

CHOMP

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

no cheeses for us meeces

...is it yet another joke I do not understand?

[researcher-4e69636b]

As soon as Nick got to the medbay, he searched for a bandage, some sort of tourniquet and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. Once it was collected, he ran out of the door and continued running as much as ze could.

Finally, the right door was opened and Nick dashed into the room, getting to Marius as quickly as possible, kneeling and getting all the equipment out of the pockets.

"Good, now let go and let me have a look, alright? Try not to give into the sleepiness. And raise your closest to the wound arm." Nick tried to speak in a calm and soft tone but his hands were shaking.

CHOMP

OW

Ashess, they're being mean to me on the internet :(

[researcher-4e69636b]

I'm on my way. Put your hand over the wound and press on the artery, please.

Nick sent the message and ran out of his room into the halls, wearing zirs comfort clothes: that weird multicoloured patterned shirt that they bought back on the planet and some soft black trousers from Marius.

"Okay, Aurora, please lead the way. Need to get to the medbay first." Nick said quietly and picked up a fast pace down the halls.

[researcher-4e69636b]

Thanks to you and thanks to Aurora, sorry for the trouble.

Hello, Rasputina Nastya.

Marius is in trouble, may I know if there's any rooms with a lot of teapots and if so may Aurora assist me getting there as soon as possible, perfectly with a trip to the medbay on the way?

Thank you.

With respect, @researcher-4e69636b

Ah, that's probably the Toy Soldier's designated tea party room. It collects teapots. Aurora said she'll show you the way.

[researcher-4e69636b]

Where are you right now? If you're okay with me helping.

[researcher-4e69636b]

How-... pointless question, moving on. Do you need me to get to you right now? Where did they bite? Do you think it can be infected?
