[ hmmm. this is why he shouldn't have escaped containment. scien seems to pause at this and sighs. he only comments that elysium was stupidly adamant on making it back to his apartment before proceeding to rattle out a series of various chemicals.
presumably, it's the medicine? antidote? who the hell knows. but it's up to thorns to formulate it if he even can—scien is gone the next second. wow. ]
he goes to his room and comes back to shove the bird plushie into elysium's arms, and then he leaves a note saying he'll be right back just in case elysium wakes up before hurrying out the door. ]
if there's one thing that gets him to stir, it's that. his brow furrows, and then he just… ends up curling around this thing, too. luckily, he is actually too debilitated to make any complaints or stir so thorns is free to live out his breaking bad dreams. ]
but he has to leave fully because he does not having eveything, so it takes about an hour for him to come back to the apartment. he pokes his head inside to check on elysium again... it is now 8am which is still too early to be alive. ]
for now, thorns is just going to fucking... try whatever the hell he just made first to see if he dies or not. if he doesn't and things seems okay then he will give it to elysium.
he goes back to the room and crawls into the bed to check his temperature. ]
[ it's going to need those professional stuffed animal dry cleaning services from japan i keep getting ads for… tears up
but it will be the worst-tasting thing in the world. it also burns as it goes down? thank you, scien. it does not feel safe to drink, but it technically is. before thorns can administer this concoction from satan (elysium is even warmer to touch somehow),
[ he downs the liquid like it's a shot. that's how much he trusts thorns, enough to chug the most questionable substance in the world without a second thought. everything's fine until it isn't. elysium blinks. ]
I feel kind of fu—
[ —and then he's out cold. look what thorns has done. they could've gone on their date… now it's over… ]
[ well. he checks to make sure elysium is like, alive, before picking him up and taking him to thorns' bed instead. he will change the sheets for elysium's because they are gross and sweaty... ]
thorns just shoots off a list of observations of elysium, and then he returns to his own room after changing elysium's sheets. he sits down at his desk and watches elysium... occasionally getting up to do random chores as long as elysium snoozes...
[ WHY IS THORNS ACCEPTING THIS!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS HOW THEY BAD END FOR REAL!!! they've officially become claude 1 & 2 except they're just guy 1 & 2. what can they be called colloquially.
he blinks awake at midnight… is thorns still alive… he's been up for so long and working for so long he should be dead. ]
no subject
Yes?
no subject
he just brushes past thorns like he owns the place and looks around. i am writing scien for two more tags tops. ]
no subject
thorns just follows after him. ]
He's sick.
[ he proceeds to list off all of the symptoms elysium has shown, and the exact time where he suddenly fell ill. ]
no subject
presumably, it's the medicine? antidote? who the hell knows. but it's up to thorns to formulate it if he even can—scien is gone the next second. wow. ]
no subject
thorns will need to go to his work station to get most of that. ugghhh. for now, he returns to elysium's room to check on him. is he still asleep? ]
no subject
elysium is still passed out… shakes
when are the authorities coming after thorns. ]

because now the bird is covered in snot and sweat, a tragic victim in all of this that thorns could have prevented. it did not deserve this. ]

elysium sits up. ]
MY DATE.
[ ? his eyes are still closed? ]
no subject
thorns startles, before setting the suspicious concoction down on the side table so he can stare at elysium. ]
What?
[ is he awake or not... ]
no subject
elysium leaps from his bed… the poor bird falls onto the floor. it is taking so much abuse. ]
I'm going on my date!
[ yippee ]
no subject
sure, why not. thorns just stays on the bed, watching this. ]
Okay. Have fun.
no subject
then. remembers something. stumbles halfway across the room back. ]
I can't forget the person I'm going on a date with…
[ a hand loops around thorns' wrist and he tries to pull him off the bed but the grip strength is, like. pathetic. ]
no subject
thorns freezes for a second, but then he pulls elysium back towards him. ]
I need you to drink something before we go out.
no subject
making no effort to get up, his voice comes out muffled: ]
Okay. Did you decide where we're going yet?
no subject
[ okay then, thorns will just drag elysium back to a sitting position and reach over to grab the... liquid. ]
Here we go.
[ he presses the cup to elysium's mouth. drinky drinky!!!!! ]
no subject
I feel kind of fu—
[ —and then he's out cold. look what thorns has done. they could've gone on their date… now it's over… ]

no subject
does he wash the bird… elysium's going to be out for another day…
the way dahut ends up finding thorns' number and texts him because scien told him to. give him the continued reports
or else ]
