[ 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. ]

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

Is it better?

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?
