Whumpril 2024 Day 6: Dizziness

@whumpril hi lmao

Content: some weird fucked up romance, mention of past whumping of a minor. mostly just selma being fucked up

yeah so basically morgan got into a fight, at the start of the series and ended up in hospital, with selma as their nurse, but then selma bumped into this guy who kidnapped her years ago who everyone thought was dead (finn). and yeah

Day 6: Dizziness

It happened every time she saw him. She forgot who she was, what she was doing. He was around that patient Morgan a lot, but never seemed to speak to Selma. Which she was glad about. Whatever the police said, a mushroom didn’t change its spots, and Finn was certainly a mushroom in this case.

She was terrified of him, she knew that much. It was only the adrenaline of their recent meeting that had kept her from passing out at the sight of his face.

She’d never expected to see him again, and definitely not in these circumstances. Every time she looked at him, she felt like she wanted to throw up. She felt so dizzy. He made her feel so weak. And it wasn’t the same fear that had haunted her night and day as a teenager. This was a new fear, that made her want to fall down, faint, tense up, and kiss him on his stupid, obnoxious mouth.

Shit. Maybe it wasn’t the fear at all.

Whumpril 2024 - Day 6 - Dizziness

Look I think Mariano just thinks that being dizzy is fun, that's my one explanation for how he gets when he's drunk or oxygen deprived

TWs: suffocation, oxygen deprivation in a controlled environment, lab-whump adjacent but it's the military, a mage gets flustered about oxygen dep (but it's safe for work, he's just blushy)

Luis tapped his fingers against his arm, watching through the window of the testing room. They didn’t need to be sequestered away for this one–all advanced soldiers going to specialized branches would go through it eventually. Laredo sat at a school desk, leaned over the worksheet he’d been given. He tapped the mechanical pencil against his lips, pausing before circling another answer. 

Luis’ eyes flicked to the monitor in Manuel’s hands. His oxygen saturation was still respectable. He was halfway done with the sheet. 

“Thoughts?” He asked, looking to Manuel. 

Manuel hummed, glancing back to where Izan and Dimitri were sitting in the hallway, oxygen masks strapped to their faces. Their lips were still paler than either Luis or Manuel would’ve preferred, but they were recovering nicely. “I think he’s doing fine so far. He seems calmer than Dimitri was, and he’s matching my pace, at least.” 

“I agree.” Luis said. “And none of you have anything else to do today or tomorrow, as discussed. Just recovery.”

Manuel smiled, bright and quick. “Thank you for readjusting the schedule. Especially with how Laredo’s heart gets sometimes, I just don’t think it’d be wise for anyone to be doing a ton of cardio for a little while.”

“Of course. Thank you for staying on top of things.” 

The numbers on the monitor flashed yellow, cutting Manuel off from what he was going to say. He squinted at Laredo, whose writing had slowed down. He was starting to tilt to one side. “Ah, there it is.” Manuel said, marking down the time. “I wonder if he’ll be as coherent after this point?”

Dimitri spoke up, pulling the oxygen mask away for a moment. “If he’s more coherent than me on the third essay question I’ll fry his controller.”

“Keep breathing, Dimitri.” Luis scolded, shaking his head. 

They watched the seconds tick by, melting into minutes. Laredo tipped further and further, before eventually falling completely to the floor on his side, pencil dropping beside him. “Time! Releasing the seal.” Luis announced, unlatching the door and letting oxygen rush back in. 

He watched as Manuel hurried inside with the third of four oxygen tanks, kneeling and pressing the mask to Laredo’s face. He leaned down and spoke to him, patting his face to help him wake up. Just as Luis was starting to worry, Laredo jolted up with a groan and scrambled to his elbows, drawing a sincere laugh from Manuel and a gentle pat of his shoulder. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Izan felt the same way. Nice and slow, now, your brain is still restarting.” 

When Laredo could stand he let Manuel help him from the classroom, face red and unable to look Luis in the eye. “Alright Mariano,” Luis said, pointedly ignoring the way Izan elbowed Laredo’s bicep. “Your turn, then we can go back.” 

Mariano nodded, stepping inside the room and taking the last fresh worksheet. He picked up the pencil, sat down, and watched the window for his signal. When Luis resealed the door and the air began to drain from the room, Manuel waved a hand and gave Mariano a thumbs-up. The timer began to count.

The first few minutes were entirely uneventful, with Mariano steadily working his way down the page. He didn’t seem to stumble on anything in the first half, but when the oxygen reached its lowest point and his breathing started to get strained, Luis watched the youngest member seem to shift. 

Always so stoic and almost-uptight, he’d expected Mariano to get frustrated like Dimitri did. He expected agitated fingers running through dark hair, brows furrowed as his brain stopped being able to process things as easily. He expected a deep frown, or a scowl.

Instead, tension began to fall away from Mariano’s shoulders. He leaned against the top of the desk more, tilting his head almost lazily as he reread the last question on that side and underlined a part of it. He tapped the pencil against the paper, drawing a looping, repeating shape in the margin as he thought. When he finally seemed to have an answer, he just drew the line to the beginning of his sentence without picking up his pencil. 

Luis watched him flip the worksheet over to the math portion–Mariano loved math, Luis realized, because he beamed. His elevated mood seemed to be more than just subject-related though, because as he wrote in the section where his name went and drew another set of circles next to it, he started shaking and covering his mouth. 

Laughing, Luis realized. Something about this tickled Mariano to his very core, even as he started filling in the math questions. Every time it seemed like the giggle fit was over, it would rear its head again and he’d double over, head against the desk, and his shoulders would just shake. 

“How are his levels?” Luis asked, grinning himself. 

It seemed like it wasn’t just Luis who found it contagious, since Manuel was fighting to keep his expression even. “In the yellow, and dropping, but at least he’s still in a good mood.” Mariano had just decided to keep his head on the desk as he wrote, glasses tilted from the pressure against the hard surface.

As his hypoxia continued, Mariano tried to pick himself up. He’d almost finished both sides, on par with the others. He glanced back up at the top of the paper though, and that seemed to fully do him in. He started laughing again, a faint, wheezy thing where every inhale was a desperate struggle. 

He just couldn’t get any more air, though, and with his eyes fluttering he slumped into unconsciousness against the desk, pencil rolling to the floor. 

“Alright, time. Releasing the seal.” Luis repeated the process from earlier, and as oxygen rushed back in, Luis accompanied Manuel inside. He had to see what had gotten Mariano so giggly. As he helped Mariano to the floor and Manuel got the mask on his face, Luis got a peek at the paper. 

Instead of his name, in not-cursive lettering that gradually dipped beneath the line, he’d accidentally written “Marimo”, then drew a wobbly circle nearby, with tinier circles coming up from it, and a little simple smiling face. As Mariano groaned and started to wake up again, Luis folded up the paper and pocketed it. That had been the happiest he’d ever seen Mariano, especially since joining the war mage program.

He almost wondered if a moss ball in a tiny aquarium would be a decent birthday gift for the teenager.

Whumpril 2024 - Day 6

Dizziness

@whumpril

Tw: unconsciousness

Every step felt more exhausting and threatened to get impossible. He kept stumpling forward, but his legs felt heavy, like being made of concrete. His feet wouldn't lift properly anymore. Unfortunate on the uneven forest ground. He was cold. His vision was blurry and honestly he didn't see where they were going anymore. He just followed the bunch of moving bloobs. The distant between him and them was getting bigger though.

He had long tuned out of the conversation, but now he couldn't hear anything but static noise rushing through his ears anymore.

His chest felt tight, his lungs kind of constricted, his head was in a thick unpenetratable stupor. The additional weight of his backpack was trying to pull him to the ground. The last two times he stumbled over a branch, he hardly managed to find his footing again.

But now he just couldn't take a step anymore. The bloobs were too far away, fading out of his field of vision. Everything was fading out slowly as his world turned grey from the edges.

He wanted to make himself known. But the attempted shout kept stuck in his throat. A pathetic hardly audible squeak was the only thing he could produce.

He had fought to lift his arm and find some hold on the tree to his left. His sweaty palm brushed over the bark for a moment.

It wasn't a conscious movement to lean in, his vision just turned black and his legs gave out. The arm went slack and the contact between hand and bark was gone.

His limp body brushed alongside the trunk. If he had been conscious, his whole body weight stopped by his knees hitting on the ground, would have been utterly painful. But he was out long before.

The pack on his back was pushing his upper body forward and he landed face first in the next bush.

Not even a chance to get his arms up, he looked like a ragdoll, someone just threw away, arms by his sides and the soles of his shoes looking upwards.

Voices shouting and heavy steps on the soft forestfloor. The bloobs came running back, which were no bloobs, but actual people.

"Ey buddy, what's wrong?" A futile attempt, before he even realised, that the man on the ground was out like a lamp.

3 pairs of hands pulled him out of the bush, got rid of his backpack and carefully rolled him on his back. "Damn, he's burning up. Ey buddy, can you open your eyes for us?"

The backpack went under his lower legs to elevate them slightly.

Light slaps to the ghostly pale cheek covered in a sheen of sweat. Eyes started to move under closed lids and a shudder went through the body. He stired and very slowly opened his eyes. A little movement, that looked so exhausting, threatening to pull him under at any moment.

Whumpril 2024 - Day 6 to 10

6 . Dizzyness

A sort of dizziness greeted the Dragonborn as they climbed the ruined tower. With each laborious step, dizziness seized them more and more. They swallowed heavily, struggling to keep their balance on the worm-eaten wooden staircase. The bandits must have stashed their loot up there. That's what they always did.

At the top of the tower, the wind blew violently, threatening to send them flying below. At the foot, their companions shouted at them to go back down. Sweat beaded on their forehead. They felt their legs weaken, and the Dragonborn collapsed onto the chest in front of him. (101)

7 . Hesitation

Lucien hesitated, staring blankly at the snarling bandit. Magic hummed between his fingers, ready to strike if necessary. Yet, taking a human life seemed abhorrent, something foreign to his sheltered existence. The fight was raging around him and he had seen the Dragonborn plant his sword more than once in the steaming entrails of their attackers. Yet, time seemed frozen, suspended between hesitation and action. The bandit's blade came dangerously close to his blue eyes. His body instinctively cast the ice spell. This survival instinct, which was unknown to him until then, did not hesitate. (96)

8 . Bloodshot

The Jarl had asked their small group to eradicate the vampires from Shriekwind Bastion in exchange for a gold reward. The Dragonborn had come out with many scratches but had not paid attention to them before the illness broke out. There was no doubt about their bloodshot eyes and their hypersensitivity to daylight. They have the Sanguinare Vampiris. The Dragonborn turned their bloody eyes away, unable to meet the gaze of their companions. If they don't find a cure, then in three days they will become a vampire, a predator, a nuisance just to be put down. (98)

9 . Self-doubt

Tormented by the magnitude of the task, the Dragonborn questioned their objective. Could they really end this catastrophic cycle and kill Alduin, the Devourer of Worlds? It seemed insurmountable and doubt sank deep within them. They didn't have faith in their abilities. They felt like a bandit's stray arrow could kill them, and dash whatever hopes the people of Skyrim might have had in them. The fact that everything weighted on their shoulders, and that they were the only one who could defeat Alduin made them feel anguished and insecure.

What if the prophecies were wrong? (98)

10 . Adrenaline

The shadow passed over him and the dragon landed. Taliesin had no time to think and charged. His footsteps echoed to the rhythm of his heart. His bones echoed with the sound of the beast's cry. With Berwhale in hand, he was ready to carve into the scales of the giant lizard. The adrenaline made him forget his fatigue and the pain in his muscles. The Mer was focused on his immediate survival and the threat that stood before him. Fleeing was not an option. He had to fight, his breathing was ragged, but his body knew there would be no rest until victory. (105)

whumpril 2024 || day 06 - dizziness

CW: animal attack, blood loss

Marty knows it’s bad — he’s not screaming anymore. You don’t get mauled by a bear and not scream; Marty bawls into the dirt until it clogs his face because he can’t move one leg, the other is mutilated, and the gash on his side is so large, he needs both hands to hold himself together. He quiets as blood rolls into the back of his hair, hears nothing but the pressure in his head. Stars overlap. Twist, twirl, bend, float. He knows it’s bad.  Still, he whispers, “How bad is it?” Buford yanks the tourniquet.  “It’s pretty fuckin’ bad, Eastwood.”

Whumpril 2024, Day 6 Prompt- Dizziness @whumpril

It's winter and she's dizzy. Marinette is the holder of the ladybug miraculous. This is fine. It makes sense.

But that doesn't make it any easier when getting out of bed is more and more difficult as the weather gets colder. As she has to pull out more and more blankets. Till her bed resembles a nest more then anything, as the Kwami curl up with her because some of them don't do well with the cold.

It doesn't make it easier as she has to go out and fight while her vision is blurry and the world is spinning. While her body is shivering and shaking and people keep talking but she can't hear them.

And as it gets colder there are days when she can barely rise from her bed, days where she has to stay home because getting out of her bed hurts. Where her Maman and Papa have to take care of her, bring her soups and warm drinks because anything cold is rejected flat-out.

~~~~~~~~~~

The streets were bustling with life, bright lights flashing as the city refused to sleep.

In the midst of it all, there was them, hidden amongst the plain folk. Blending in so perfectly that you would even spare a second glance at them.

They weren't on any important mission at the moment, more like just looking for a place to have some fun and kill time.

The group of seven individuals walked together, fake ID's ready to help them blend in.

In the back of the group, Amne and Silas walked side by side. Occasionally, their arms would rub up against each other, but neither said anything.

They never did. Amne and Silas would die before admitting that there was something between them. Most people wrote it down to them being friend with benefits, but it was clear that the 'friends' bit wasn't there.

Passing by the local businesses, Amne's eyes wandered. She couldn't help but be amazed at how similar everything still looked. It felt as if she had been gone from the overworld for years, but since time went faster in Celestial, she couldn't be sure how long it had actually been.

Regardless, she kept her head down. She didn't want to risk another incident. She had already been recognized once, an issue that was now solved, but she couldn't risk it again.

The situation left her in a panic, which then turned to a daze. She wanted nothing more than to drown her sorrows in a bottle of tequila, but she had to convince Silas first.

He hadn't left her side since the encounter. If Amne had to guess, he was probably freaked out by her sudden panic attack, considering that she had to explain to him how to calm her down while trying to calm herself down, but now she had him stuck to her like a leech.

A cute leech, but a leech nonetheless.

As the group was about to pass by another bar, Amne tugged on Silas' arm to get his attention.

He immediately perks up. "Yeah.?" He asks.

Amne points to the bar. "I need a drink, you up for it?"

Silas frowns. "You never told me you were a drinker.."

"Must have not come up in conversation then." Amne says. "C'mon, it'll be quick."

Silas looks over to the rest of the group, who seem to have finally agreed on a place to hang out at.

"Should we let them know.?" Silas asks.

Amne shrugs. "Your call, I'll be at the bar." She says before walking away.

Deep inside, a part of her feels like shit for being so dull, but the encounter left her feeling drained.. numb even..

She didn't like feeling numb, it was too harsh of a reminder of who she once was..

However, no numbness can't be fixed with a strong drink, so Amne goes off into the busy-ish bar. She won't drink too much, just enough to get a bit buzzed.

~~~~~~~~~~

Silas walks up to the group, shuffling awkwardly.

"Hey uh, Lua.?" Silas mumbles.

Lua turns. "What's up?"

Silas rubs the back of his neck. "Amne kinda.. ditched and went into a bar.. said she-"

"-needs a drink? Yeah, I figured she would." Lua says, annoyed. "Did you want to join her?"

"I mean, yeah, not to drink, just to keep an eye on her." Silas states clearly.

Lua hums. "Then go on, just don't get into trouble and keep a low profile."

Silas nods. "Right, I'll let Amne know." He replies before walking off to join Amne.

Lua sighs as Freyja shuffles next to her.

"Amne is not.. OK.?" She asks, looking uncertain.

Lua looks over to her. "I never know with her.."

~~~~~~~~~~

The bar is lively, just about as much as Silas expected. Friday nights were expected to be crazy, but Silas imagined that people had other things to do than go drinking at almost midnight.

His eyes scanned the room, locating Amne sitting at the bar. He quickly made his way over to her, taking a seat as Amne started on her first drink.

"Anything I can get for you, sir?" The bartender asks suddenly.

Silas is about to answer when Amne perks up.

"He doesn't drink." She responds.

The bartender nods, and goes to serve other people.

Silas sighs. "..so.. you okay.?"

Amne looks over to him, confused. "Why wouldn't I be.?"

"I mean, you've been.. odd since the incident." Silas mumbles. "Like.. blank."

Amne looks down at her drink. "Is it freaking you out.?"

Silas shakes his head quickly. "No, of course not, I'm just-.." He stops. "Worried, just.. worried."

Amne hums. "Well don't be, I'll be fine after a couple drinks."

Silas frowns. "This isn't healthy, you know?"

"I'm well aware." Amne mumbles.

Silas looks away. "Is this really how you cope?"

"Do you have any better suggestions?" Amne asks coldly.

"I mean.. you could.. talk to me about it?" Silas suggests.

Amne looks at him, then sighs. "I wouldn't want to burden you.."

"You wouldn't be! Trust me, it.. might help a bit.." Silas replies with a soft smile.

Amne starts on her second drink. "Well.. where do I start..?"

"Maybe with, what happened earlier.?" Silas suggests.

Amne nods. "Right, well.."

~~~~~~~~~~

A few words and rounds of drinks later, Amne was wasted. Even with all the things she finally spilled, things even Silas never expected, she was now acting like everything was fine, whether that be by choice or not.

It was now almost 2 am, and Amne showed zero signs of exhaustion, as well as zero signs that she was done drinking.

Silas ended up ordering her water, hoping to sober her up enough so they could get out of here without making a scene, but Amne was so.. cheerful that it wasn't going to be so easy.

"Silas~" Amne laughs, throwing her arms around him. "C'mon, just a few more drinks!"

Silas hums. "At this rate, your heart will stop if I let you drink more."

"And would that be so bad~?" Amne hums, her face getting closer to his.

"Yes, it would." Silas says. "I want to keep you around, believe it or not."

"For what purpose.?" Amne asks. "For my body~?"

Silas gives her a look. "What are you rambling around?"

"You wouldn't be the first guy to pay me for.. services~" Amne purrs. "Nor the last.."

Silas sighs. "Yeah no, it's time to go."

Amne pouts. "No, let's have fun!"

"Amne, you are so wasted that you seem genuinely happy, it's time to head home." Silas says sternly, pushing Amne towards the exit.

Amne tries to push against him "Don't be a party pooper, just let me go!"

Silas rolls his eyes as he guides Amne home, trying to avoid the stares she's getting.

~~~~~~~~~~

Silas falls back onto the couch next to Lua, exhaustion finally hitting him like a ton of bricks.

Lua glances over at him from their phone. "Is the psycho finally out?"

Silas groans. "Firstly, enough with that nickname, and secondly, yes, she is."

Lua hums. "It's surprising how giddy she is when she's drunk, I wonder if that moment of happiness is worth the hell of a hangover she's gonna have tomorrow."

Silas rubs the tiredness from his eyes. "Hopefully she's fine tomorrow.." He then sighs. "..Something happened at the bar."

Lua turns off their phone, turning to face Silas. "What do you mean?"

Silas breathes deeply. "I shouldn't tell you this.. but it's important."

Lua gives him a look. "Then spill it."

"It's about Silva.. the possession.. all of that." He says.

"There can't be more to what we already know, Silas." Lua mumbles.
