[ thank god (jan, not xl) for medical supplies. ochako immediately sets to fixing up her leg, and bandaging her arm - and if there's burn ointment for the laser beams, that's going on, too. her shoulder... will probably require some help, but more importantly, she's watching chiron just in case he also needs a hand. they can help each other here!
still, with that comment, she's going to carefully take one of the serums and the note they came with, frowning. ]
"Effective only in this dimension." Does that mean wherever we are now, or the whole Realm?
[ please don't be for soo-woo and xie lian, ochako is so worried for them now. ]
[ Well, the serums are there, just chilling. I guess one of them is chilling in Ochako's hand, specifically.
That aside, there's a door at the end of the hallway. It's probably a door? It's hard to tell, since it mostly looks like another panel in the wall, but I promise you that it's a door. ]
I'm not certain... should we not need to use them immediately, perhaps they can come with us and we'll find out later.
[He speaks with distant disapproval like he can feel the hand of fate moving to exasperate him. Soo-Won, Xie Lian, if you two are not breathing...
Anyway it's fine, Chiron with his elf-horse eyes can absolutely see that there is a Door. He'll inform Ochako of it after they'd tended to themselves (and yes, he's going to require her help to wrap the bandages around his torso. While he can do it himself, time might be of the essence)]
anyway now that we're all bandaged up, ochako will take the other serum as well, and nod to chiron. ]
Ready. [ still a bit uneasy? for sure. but she's trying to put on a brave face anyway. ] Maybe Soo-won-san and Xie Lian-san are in there?
[ she's not confident in that, but it's good to keep their hopes up, anyway. it gives them something to keep going! they can't leave until they find the other two, after all. ]
Okay, let's go.
[ a deep breath... and down the hall they go. where will this mystery door lead! ]
[ It takes them to... a room! Another brightly lit, paneled room. Inside are two more doors: one just slightly open, as if to go, "Hi, I exist!" and one more fully open as if it's been used recently.
Then, in the center, are two machine chairs. Sitting on them are very familiar figures! They're in a... very bad state, from the looks of it, though not everything is immediately obvious as their clothes are perfectly intact, aside from any blood seeping through. But you could strip them? I guess?
His entire body burned, Soo-won is covered in scratches and scrapes, limbs bent and broken. One of his arms has a stab wound, with multiple other stab wounds around the same area.
Likewise, Xie Lian is covered in burns. There's a wound in his leg that looks as if it could've been made by an arrow, and a puncture wound of a larger nature in his chest. One of his eyes is injured, as if something had pierced into it.
Notably, they aren't breathing. Which is to say, Soo-won and Xie Lian are dead. Hm, wonder how that could've happened? ]
Goddamnit and he's too weak to be moving around like a spry colt, either, not that it'll stop him. Zooming for whoever is closest (probably deep-fried Woo-Woo), one of the serums already in hand, though he is going to check that he is in fact dead before trying anything]
Ochako -- [Pausing for a moment to look over at her because... he has no idea if she has seen death up-close like this before. But now isn't the time to be underestimating her, either.]
We'll be using the serums on both of them to--
[And then another pause because Chiron squints at the two doors. Okay who entered, who left, and in what order? His mouth pulls into a frown]
... No. I want you to inject them both. I will check the doors.
[ Jan, sitting up at 4am: what if I snuck in a tag
aka I am momentarily breaking tag order to give you something I probably should've done last tag, before you start injecting anything!
Two screens pop up, one in front of Soo-won's corpse and the other in front of Xie Lian's. However, both say the same thing. ]
MISSION FAILED: Monsters have entered the base.
[ Meanwhile, a different screen appears before both Ochako and Chiron. ]
MISSION SUCCESSFUL: Monsters eliminated. Enemy defence system has been taken down.
[ As for the doors, one is the way through which Soo-won and Xie Lian came (leading to a dead end). If Chiron checks out the other door, a notice pops up. ]
WARNING: One-way entry.
[ He will get the feeling that after passing through this door, he won't be able to backtrack... ]
[ the sight of their bodies makes her go pale. yes, she's been close to death before, just once, and it doesn't make this any easier, especially when the screens pop up before them. her expression grows increasingly distraught as she reads the text on all of them, and takes in the wounds on soo-won and xie lian.
it isn't hard to put it together. the problem is that doing so nearly paralyzes her with horror - nearly, because she gives herself a strong mental shake, and reminds herself that her job as a hero isn't over yet. as she prepares to inject soo-won with the serum, she bites her lip nervously, steels herself against the fear that this will just mess things up even more, and administers the first serum. and with one down, it's a little easier to do the same with xie lian, muttering as she does so. ]
And those notices are the only thing to stop Chiron in his tracks. The one-way entry part? Yes, well. He supposes that makes sense. He won't go through the door.
But monsters are in the base, huh. His eyes slide back to the two men who have just been delivered the serum.]
We'll wait for them to wake up. [Ha. Ha. Assuming that happens. But his voice is firm on the matter]
It's possible our battles are not yet over, but regardless: we must all leave together.
