On the Road Again...

[mercwamouth]

[Four people are picking their way through the darkness, following a glowing bubble of gold and blue light. The light runs along a wire held by Mu, who is walking at the front, glowing gold. Next is Hei, who is glowing blue and looks pale--he's hallucinating badly. Last comes Deadpool, sans his usual red outfit and mask, his skin covered in scars and tumors, carrying a limp Misaki.]

Just stay awake Misaki, alright? No falling asleep. We're almost there.

Li... [She's not really coherent at this point, wax pale and sweating, her eyes open but not seeming to register anything in front of them.] What happened...?

That's not Li, Misaki, that's Hei. She doesn't seem like she's getting much better.

[Ignoring Deadpool and responding to Misaki] You're injured, likely in shock. I can't see well enough to tell.

We're heading for the b-- [Hei pauses and stumbles a bit before catching himself, forcing himself to focus.] --the ballroom. I think.

Heard about that place. Sounds like a good place to go. Shelter and clothes. Probably other guys too.

So how do we find this place? Everything looks the same and we can't really see well to boot.

I'm following my intuition.

...You really are a woman.

...

[Weak chuckle.] Don't underestimate a Saint.

[She stirs briefly, glaring at nothing in particular. She certainly sounds coherent.] Calling him a woman is hardly underestimating him, Hei. [Blink.] Where did the sky go?

[Smiles to himself.] Didn't...mean it that way, Misaki. [Stumbles again and briefly rubs his forehead.] The stars went out. But they'll be back. And until then we've got some light. [The glow around his outline intensifies a fraction.]

...Anyone know any traveling songs?

[ooc: Believe it or not, this was a pain in the butt to arrange]

Something from a place they call 'The Gate.' A hell on earth, if I understand correctly.

How long has she been like this?

[lamb_of_gold]

Since we were drawn here. Two or three days now.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

A long time. Have there been ill effects from the poison other than the hallucinations?

[lamb_of_gold]

None so far as I can tell. She hasn't eaten much, though.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

Perhaps if would be best if she ate more. Do we have any food here?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Vacantly] It turns into pigs.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Gives her a glance] Would she even recognize food if we gave it to her?

[lamb_of_gold]

You heard the woman. She claimed it moved, then turned into miniature swine.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Watch your mouth. [Mu is a parrot again.]

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

It is not good for her to go without eating. Do we have any idea how long it will take the poison to run it's course?
