Nno... I Usually Puke Every Couple Days, But That's From Anxiety Or Something. And I Can Breathe Fine.

Who would you say you were closest with in the colony

I don't know if I could say I'm especially close with anyone, to be honest. Maybe @dawnlighthours.

Mechs? Seriously? How could you waste all your time on something like that? Your sister would be so disappointed in you.

What the hell do you know? She'd be impressed. She always liked robots.

Besides, I don't spend all my time on them. I build medical equipment. There's only so much I can do with these resources.

Thank you for remembering that.

What did you want to discuss?

*soft tapping at his office door*

Doc Percy? I can see the light on under the door, I know you're awake. Do you have a minute? I need someone to talk to for a second-

@dawnlighthours

Yes, okay. Come on in. It's not as though I'm actually busy.

...Yes, fair enough. *He kicks the door shut and drags over a bucket.*

Do you want to tell me what's going on here? *Does not immediately hug her, but sits next to her with a hand around her shoulders (not the metal one.*

*Knocking on door*

Ms. Aurora? I was coming to ask if you wanted to help me with a prototype, but... why do I hear sobbing? Should I enter?

( @drpercival )

*The door cracks open for him to come in if he wants*

I don't know what the symptoms of pain shock are, sorry. And unfortunately I don't trust you to give yourself an unbiased medical assessment.

Tell me why you scaled a building immediately after you got a nosebleed from blushing? What kind of decision was that?

You're stupid. You're lucky you're funny and cute.

Why in hell did I see you climbing and falling off a building earlier? Corvus, i watched you pass out walking to a bed the other day, and you thought you'd scale a castle?!?

( @drpercival )

ahhh, what won't you do for you loved one's? :∆

"Something audibly cracked inside of him" OWWW! ok... maybe not that. damn... i'm too old for this, what was I thinking??... I couldn't even climb the building in my childhood... my brother always made me win those races.... oghhh...

guess I broke my rib when I fell.... how troublesome, i only got well from illness...

Yes, I do. But who is "thunderthighs"?

Right, so, hypothetically…

Let’s say you might’ve

Like,

Accidentally made out with someone.

In the name of… science.

And now you’re thinking about it at all hours of the night like a normal, totally emotionally stable person.

again—hypothetically, what would you do?

Asking for a lab partner.

I absolutely can, and I will if you don't lie down right now.

You'd better lie down right now, Corvus.

How are you meant to treat people if you die of some illness that you're convinced is nothing?

( @drpercival )

......

tch....

......

and what if-.... agh....

"sits on the chair and rests his head on its back"

....ok, i'm resting.

...Right. I'm coming in.

Please don't do anything stupid, okay? What do you need?

Ms. Aurora? Are you okay in there?

( @drpercival )

Percy-

Shit- I'm not okay. I'm going to crash out. It's too much. The fucking nightmares and voices screaming in my head are too much.

Oww, Corvussss... it hurts, get your needles and shit away *swipes at his hand like a cat*

Yeah, well- you don't seem to dislike them... ugh, can I go somewhere less dirt-covered? 's getting in my hair.

*Attempts to stand up and immediately collapses.*

Corvus!!! Something happened to Percy, he needs medical attention stat!

:0

shit.

that's what I was afraid of the most...

alright. screw this stupid whistling...

PEEEEEEERCYYYYYYYYY!! WHERE ARE YOU!?

@drpercival

I hope you can use it to make your blueprints easier to interpret.

I hear your birthday was rather forgotten. Not that I can say anything, I didn't give you a present on the actual day. There should be a box outside your door.

[Stationary Set: three set squares of varying size, protractor, foot long ruler, mechanical pencil with refills, eraser, exacto-knife, thumbtacks]

( @drpercival )

Oh-

I-

Th-thanks...Percival. This is...really nice. I'll make sure all this doesn't get wasted.
