"Erised, you and WX-78 go ahead and watch over the camp, would you?....I have some business to take care of....if I could just...get up..."

 

Wilson tied two sticks together, and made something to steady himself as he slowly managed to get up on his two feet, although he still winced in pain.

[Battal]

(Actually, could you forget about Vilsig teleporting away?  I kind of want him to do something else for the time being.  Nothing hostile, just character development.)

[Silentdarkness1]

(Okay. 

 

Btw @Blewcheese )

[Battal]

Vilsig doesn't teleport away.

 

"Well, I'm going to go practice with this unlimited source of power."  Vilsig says.  "Care to join me, Alma?"

[Silentdarkness1]

(Rustlung wants to talk with Alma, remember?)

[Battal]

(Uhh...Vilsig has a bad memory.  Let's go with that.)

[Silentdarkness1]

( )

 

"I think the two of us will be a bit busy, remember?"

[Battal]

"Bah, fine.  Come whenever Rustlung is done with you."  Vilsig says, wandering off into the dark.

[Blewcheese]

Entropy was at Wilson's side in an instant. You shouldn't go anywhere... Not in your condition."

[DwerBomb]

Alma waves at Vilsig with disregard.

[Silentdarkness1]

"I have something....morbid...to attend to...if you're that worried for my safety, then you won't mind tagging along. I need to talk to you alone anyways, Entropy."

 

( @DwerBomb coughcoughMarcycoughcough)

[DwerBomb]

"Then I'll go to sleep. Guard...my body, Wilson."

 

That said, Marcy concentrates, after a few seconds a snap sound comes from her head and she drops unconscious on the bed roll Wilson made her.

Entropy nodded. "Very well... But I don't want to be separated long."

[Silentdarkness1]

Wilson took out a torch and started walking.

[Blewcheese]

Entropy followed Wilson, staying away from the torchlight. What is it that you would like to discuss?"

[Silentdarkness1]

Eventually, once he was far away enough from camp, he stopped. He sat down and held up his infected hand.

 

"What else......I think this thing is already starting to turn on me.....giving me nightmares.....even now, I can feel it pulling at the corners of my mind..."

[Blewcheese]

Entropy sighed, shaking his head. "I'm a being of darkness. I'm not exactly an expert on... 'curing' it. I can't recall making any large concentrated area of light... The best advice I can give you is using it sparingly, I'm afraid."

[Silentdarkness1]

"Is it worth keeping?....or...should I get rid of it the hard way?....there's a certain book that's popular back home...and it says that if your eye offends you, you should pluck it out....and that if your hand offends you, you should chop it off......"

 

Wilson took off his overcoat and shirt, laying both an axe and a spear at his side, along with the supplies Entropy had gathered.

[Battal]

(*sigh* Great. More unnecessary tension and heartache. Fine, i'll change the post, but I don't want this to be one of those constantly, morbidly depressing RPs.)

 

[Blewcheese]

"Not quite yet. It proved useful against Vilsig, and we're going to need every advantage possible." Entropy decided to leave out the fact that they were also missing Lewis. "When this is done, though, severing it could be a good option. But if, as you say, it is giving you nightmares, I'm not sure that would do much. It could have spread a bit more."

 

(What's so heartache about someone loosing a hand? Joseph lost two legs and no one gave a damn.)

[Silentdarkness1]

(What's so heartache about someone loosing a hand? Joseph lost two legs and no one gave a damn.)

( ^ ^ ^ )

 

(This will have a non-gruesome resolution. )

 

"....I suppose...."

 

Wilson looked over at the axe, then changed his mind and picked up the spear instead.

 

"...All the amulets in the world aren't going to help the chunks of leftover bone floating in my chest....you might want to look away if you're feeling squeamish, Entropy."

[Blewcheese]

"Squeamish? You forget who you're speaking with. I could help you with that, though. Perhaps one of my sharper blades will have a... Cleaner result."

[Silentdarkness1]

"If it's all the same to you....i'd much rather take care of this myself."

 

Wilson took out a rag and wiped the tip clean.

[Blewcheese]

Entropy nodded. "Very well." He was surprised that Wilson had such a high level of trust after two others betrayed them so recently. The shadowy man watched in fascination as the scientist cleaned the spear.

[Silentdarkness1]

(Okay, this next scene is...well.....i'm going to go and put this in spoilers because disturbing scene alert. I'm not saying that it's a rule to have super-disturbing scenes in spoiler tags, but it helps, just in case.)

 

(WARNING: GRAPHIC SCENE)

Wilson carefully prepared the spear's tip, and took out a smooth rock, putting it into his mouth. Eventually, he drove it into his chest, well away from any major blood vessels or organs. He yelled out in pain, and bit down on the rock before continuing. He used the sharp side to cut the wound open larger, blood splurting out of the wound. Once he felt that the hole was large enough, he removed the spear, and let some of the blood drain out. He felt slightly woozy, but stayed conscious. Next, he dropped the spear and took out what appeared to be a rudimentary surgical tool made of wood, something like a pair of tweezers. Or maybe a clothespin. He worked it inside his wound, and started feeling around inside his chest cavity, eventually grabbing hold of a loose piece of rib-bone. He grabbed hold of it, and slowly brought it over to the wound, before pulling it out, a fresh wave of pain hitting him as the bone's sharp ends scraped against his flesh. The first piece of many bits of bone, out of his body. It dripped red. Wilson dropped the bone shard, and, closing his eyes to brace himself, went in to get another piece out.
