I can stand, but it still feels like I got run over by a truck.
[Now that Noah has put attention to his clothing Nier looks down at it curiously. He's wearing some kind of nomadic tribe garments. His clothing is tied down with chains and clasps so it may be difficult to remove.]
I'm not dead so it's fine. Are you going to drive?
[Look, he has reasons for being this way....they're not good reasons though. Nier is terrible at looking after himself to the point where things get this bad. He's thankful to have Noah at his side.]
I'll go hide in the camping sheet and take off my shirt. Well, this is more like weird tribe outfit but it has to go.
[Nier takes his top off revealing many cut injures and bruises all over his body. He wants to become a burrito before he takes off the lower half.]
Stuck behind a car with a sheet. I've never been so embarrassed in my life. Sorry for making a mess of everything.
[ Noah takes care to heal up the cuts on Nier's upper body. This doesn't seem like your average assault. His first instinct is to tie it to the weirdness by the [Ava] app. The ominous message of 'survive' certainly ties into putting people in danger...
As he works his moon magic, the crystal travels up his fingers and onto the back of his hands. ]
Much better. Don't wear yourself out using that trick of yours.
[Nier gently pats Noah on the shoulder.]
If it's just a smaller wound I can use traditional first aid. I'll bandage it properly when I get a chance to.
That should help with bleeding and stabilizing pressure.
[Nier sighs. This is really a mess. The last thing that he remembers is very vague. He just turned twenty-one and he was going to school. It was late that evening and when he woke up things were like this.]
[ Nier is shirtless but also the canvas can shield his hot (?) abs from prying eyes, probably. Noah glances absent-mindedly at his hands. The crystallization has progressed further, but for some reason he isn't weirded out by it unlike the other strange happenings. It seemed almost... natural. ]
We'll get you some clothes and then get you home, okay?
[ It must be the blood loss. Noah tries to keep a slower pace, the careful step that he would use when he was first discharged from the hospital. Thankfully, none of the maids question them when they pass by. ]

Nier, you big dummy... you could've died!
[ Judai at least had Jun helping him. If Nier didn't text, he would only have been found by the police as a corpse. ]
Can you stand up? I parked the car... we should just toss what you're wearing and get you new clothes.
[ Noah is not strong enough to be a physical support, unfortunately. ]

no subject
I am.
[ He'll try to accompany Nier back to his family car. Though, before they get in: ]
I need you to uh, take off those clothes... I've got a camping sheet here that you can use to burrito.

It's okay.... as long as you're alive...

no subject
[Nier's worried for Noah more than himself. It's a bad habit he's developed over these years. Other people always come before he does.]
I promise I'll go home once we're done here. Then I have to figure out what I'm going to tell my sister.
Do you have any ideas?
no subject
You'll have to tell her the truth eventually....
no subject
[ The last thing any brother wants is to see their sister cry. ]
I need to pull it together. There's no easy way to tell the truth, is there?
[ No there isn't ]
no subject
[ It's a lose-lose situation. Noah starts the car, driving them to his place slowly. He's sure he could sneak Nier past the maids. ]
Your hair colour changed too. She'll ask about that as well.
no subject
That's not actually a lie. Discoloration of hair can take place for many reasons.
[Still doesn't explain how he has blue eyes and has an entirely different demeanor.]
....I'll do my best to tell the truth. Try not to worry so much, Noah.
no subject
This is extremely NOT reassuring, Nier... ]
If you say so... [ There's some moments of silence as he makes a turn. ] It's not much stranger than me suddenly being able to heal, though.
no subject
What's up with that anyway? Is it a Magic trick?
no subject
[ He's honest about that. ]
I just have a feeling it has something to do with the moon.
no subject
It could be dangerous.
[ It sounds like he's speaking from experience somehow. Nier is a scientist and researchers always enter the unknown realm knowing the risks. ]
no subject
[ Another pause as he checks the road ]
I've only used it when it was really important.
no subject
[ Nier looks down at himself feeling guilty for being in such poor shape.]
This might sound weird but would you listen to me? I vaugely recall something like a memory.
[ He frowns. ]
no subject
[ He's also tangentially invested because he had a similar experience, but he won't say that yet. ]
no subject
[ He was consumed by an overwhelming desire to kill in that memory. Welcome to Yoko Taro.]
There was blood everywhere...and when I woke up I was like this. I hope I don't sound crazy.
no subject
[ Noah turns up the hill and to his home. They're almost there ]
no subject
[ The reason why Noah sometimes gets 82827384 different names too. ]
It's possible that I just somehow forgot something, but I don't know. It's hard to say.
Have you seen any strange visions?
[ oh good they're almost at Noah's place.]
no subject
[ They need to get Nier dressed again. He could borrow some of Noah's clothes, or some of Harque's if they don't fit. ]
We'll go get you a change of stuff so you can go home without needing the sheet.
no subject
[ Nier lets out a sigh. He would be happy to wear some real clothes.]
Damn, I can't see too well. Could we walk a little slower?
no subject
