[Scions] Sexy! Declan did something bloody stupid. [Scions] Sexy! Declan admitted I was a helpdesk employee, and therefore couldn't stop the labtech from leaving for a break and leaving me in charge. He said he'd just be gone for a break - which is like half an hour. It's been an hour and a quarter now. But McNeil is not. Collapsing onto the bed witha groan, he informs you that he is still very much alive, even if he's not fully awake and alert enough to pass as such. At least for the first few moments. while nowhere near as hefty as his dad, not having those adamantium laced bones or the like, he still had to be a bit of a carry for you, yes? But he lays there for a long moment, politely trying not to bleed on your sheets, though he fears he won't be all that successful in his attempts. "... have to.... out of these..." His hands move to his belt, fumbling there. If he's going to tend to his wounds, well, he'll need access to get there. "Water... good idea..." [Scions] Sexy! Declan says, "Ooo. Blood." [Scions] Sexy! Declan says, "Be a doll and let some of that fall on the floor, will you?" [Scions] !Hairy, McNeil says, "Want me to drip on anything else? ;)" "One second," Declan finally calls back, apparently from down the hall, then reenters the room carrying a bunch of, well...stuff. Bandages, a towel, disinfectant, gauze, and bottled water. Better, you'll have to admit, than tapwater. He looks a little disapproving, "Try not to move so bloody much, will you?" Setting the towel and bandages on the floor, he looks a little hesitant as Mac starts pulling his pants off. Then he holds out the water. "This is, ah, for you to drink. Got iodine - or something - to clean...them..." [Scions] Sexy! Declan hee hees. "No, the floor'll do." [Scions] Sexy! Declan laughs a lot. [Scions] !Hairy, McNeil says, "Who knew that Deco would be the first to get my pants off..." [Scions] Sexy! Declan was sure he would be. -- Players -- McNeil Zach Declan(#887PXgnc) -- Objects -- -- Scions -- [Scions] Zach blinks. And doesn't ask. [Scions] Sexy! Declan says, "Whaaaat? :) Hey - I'll even let you see the log, Zach. :)" [Scions] Sexy! Declan says, "And take that however you want to!" [Scions] Sexy! Declan says, "That, too. Ahaha, I crack me up." [OOC] Declan says, "Macky?" [OOC] Declan says, "Cubbie, me lad..." [OOC] Declan says, "Don't idle out now..." Too late. Bloodied pants are let drop on the floor, and the shirt soon follows, as Mac now sits there ont he sit on your bed lightly patting his own wounds. To see how well they might be clotting. Not too bad. Now that the bleeding has slowed in most cases, consciousness is easier to maintain. He bows his head as you enter, ina ppreciation, as accets the water while also reaching for a cloth. He'll tend to his leg first. "Have you needle and tread?" He's not really done this before, but he's willing to do what needs to be done, until he can get some stitches. Unless you have a better suggestion? "You did not have to do this, Declan. Any of this. I know you very little. If at all. At that party we barely had a chance to speak. Though you looked at me as though you knew me.." And that puzzles him. Odd, still, how calm he is still depsite being hurt. [OOC] McNeil lags. :P [OOC] Declan icks. :( and reads :) "Needle and thread?" exclaims Declan, half-horrified. He shakes his head emphatically, holding out the disinfectant and setting the rest on the bed next to Mac. "Leg wound's puncture - unless you've had a tetanus shot recently, you'll need one, but you won't need stitches for it. And I've a good idea the ones on your back and shoulder're fairly shallow; all you'll need is some Neosporin or something. Bleed a lot, but damn little actual damage." He's having an awful lot of trouble restricting his gaze to Mac's face and wounds, and stands up, clasping his hands behind his back. "But - yes, I'd...heard some stories about your father, from people who knew him. And I have a feeling you'd rather not go somewhere where they might test your blood..." [OOC] Declan says, "Fuck. Lemme revise, will you?" [OOC] McNeil says, "Sure. :)" "Needle and thread?" exclaims Declan, half-horrified. He shakes his head emphatically, holding out the disinfectant and setting the rest on the bed next to Mac. "Leg wound's puncture - unless you've had a tetanus shot recently, you'll need one, but you won't need stitches for it. And I've a good idea the ones on your back and shoulder're fairly shallow; all you'll need is some Neosporin or something. Bleed a lot, but damn little actual damage." He's having an awful lot of trouble restricting his gaze to Mac's face and wounds, and stands up, clasping his hands behind his back. "But - yes, I'd...heard some stories about your father, from people who knew him. If your father's who I'm being told he-- who I think he is. And I have a feeling you'd rather not go somewhere where they might test your blood..." As you can tell, he doesn't have much to any experience with this sort of thing. He's always had others to tend to him when he's been injured before, such as his 'sister' Akiko after his battles with The Hand. And it seems that he will have to allow you to do so to him now. Splashing water on his leg as the cooling seems to help with the pain, he just looks to you. He's mostly bear,s o you really do have a lot of him to look at. Just undies and socks at this point, oh, and a slightly confused look. There is blood, on his wettened leg, his shoulder and back. There's a small knick here or there, but they really aren't much of a concern. "That is a good point. I forgot, here in America the mutant is not... so well received." Perhaps in Japan they are better treated? "That and... yes, who my father is-... was." he bows his head at this, just holding the cloth to his puncture wound. "You heard of Wolverine?" There is no use in hiding the name now, if you've alredy heard of it. "How? How is this?" It's not an acussation thing, but much more of a curiousity thing. So many people knew his father, friends and foes... While the blond youth starts in on the wounds - carefully - he tries to keep Mac's attention away from the sting of the disinfectant by talking. "You see the pictures on the shelves up there? There're only a couple, I know; there're rather a lot more in the front room. In these ones, anyway," he pauses a second, finishing with the gauze and antiseptic, which've set the wound bleeding again (but a lot more lightly this time), puts some clean, dry gauze on top of it, and carefully wraps the bandage around Mac's leg. "In these ones, if you look - you see the man with the long hair? That's my father, and he knew yours. Was his teammate." Another, slightly more agitated pause, "If only for a little while." He goes to work on the shoulder gash. You aren't carrying anything. You have 822 Pennies.

[OOC] Declan says, "Couple more poses, and then I gotta get up and move around. :) Maybe go steal a microwave oven...have a cigarette...eat a sandwich - 'cause we start at 9 EST, don't we?" He winces, he cringes, he moves slightly, but he sits there and takes his medicine. He knows that he needs it. And your distraction is helping him, greatly, to focus away from the pain. "You... you know of the X-Men?" He asks a bit incredulously. He finds it hard to believe that you do, for some reason, as though it is a sceret he was not aware that anyone else knew of. "Your father, my father they....?" He looks to you anew now, as in a way, this man of honor has to see you differently. In some fashion you are a 'brother' to him, at least in understanding. You share something in common with him, somethingt hat so few do. He knows that Veronica Worthington is a part of this as well, though she is likely too stoned most of the time to realize it, and Errolyn. Lyn! Thinking of her reminds him of his quest, his duty... "Declan, as your father knew mine and mine knew your's... I must ask your help in something. I am already in your debt, for this and I owe you much. If it is possible, I would be willing to owe you far more..."

"The X-Men weren't exactly a state secret, mate," replies Declan wryly, finishing up and securing the last bandage. He sits back on his heels, hands on his knees. "I'll bet there're quite a number of people that know who they were." Oh, that one came with a grin. As he listens, he stands gracefully, unfolding with seemingly no effort; he glances down at his shirt, which now has blood on it, and grins a little more - this time distractedly. "Do go on - I'm sure I'd jump to help," he lies, then finishes honestly and lightly, "though be aware I always find a way to collect. You don't owe me for today, it was something any decent human being would do." Waiting and listening again, he takes off the satchel around his neck, and then his t-shirt, and he switches it for another. Skinny freak! Um, with funny hands. But the bag goes around his neck again, and all is back to normal. McNeil is going to have to borrow some clothes. Unless you want to keep him mostly naked. Examining your handy work, and your hands while bandaging him, he is atentive to you. Completely. Is it really a shock considering who raised him that he is so guarded, so firm in his maintaining even a hint of a secret? "The others... the ones that father mentioned... they would know as well? Just as you know?" He can't help but sound hopeful at that. He asks this as you change, his eyes remaining on you and not shying away just because of how you think you look. But then he waits a moment, his hands at his side, as he asks for this favor, this help. He's willing to pay the price, any price. "During the party, during th attack... my friend, the one I was looking for... she vanished. I need to find her. She is like us, one of us. One of the children of the X." [Scions] Errolyn says, "Comes a hero from the east, to free the man from within the beast, bring the child from within the band, drive the curser from the land!" [Scions] Veronica ooohs? [Scions] Errolyn nodsnods solemnly. [Scions] Errolyn says, "Quest For Glory. ;)" [Scions] Zach says, "But... I can't type without my cursor! ;)" From afar, Veronica hugs :) [Scions] Errolyn tackles Zach. [Scions] !Hairy, McNeil says, "Yousei!" [Scions] Errolyn is a t'eif in the game. ;) [Scions] Errolyn says, "Howdy Cub." [Scions] Zach eeps! :) [Scions] Veronica starts to do raindances for Scion as we embark upon our first day o' class... [Scions] Errolyn tries to do a dance of illumination, cause her lightbulb is out. [Scions] Veronica meeps. [OOC] McNeil says, "Btw, you'll have to tell me what clothing I got lent for class. ;)" [Scions] Errolyn has tried all day, but nothing has happened. ;) [Scions] Veronica says, "Keep the faith. It can still happen." [Scions] Errolyn thinks her mom and grandfather are getting worried about me though, hopping around the room mumbling to myself about light, light, come on tonight, light light, be ever so bright.. and so forth. ;) Turning again to look at Mac, over his shoulder and smirking a little, Declan repeats, "'The Children of the X'? Sounds like a trashy novel, old son." He's silent a moment, rummaging through his drawers - it appears he's noticed the Cub's relative state of undress as something to be fixed rather than something to be ogled, finally. Tossing a baggy pair of drawstring khakis, an undershirt, and a hawaiian shirt to McNeil, he finally answers for real. "Well...if you've got something of hers, or can at least tell me enough things about her, I can try finding her my way. But if you haven't or can't, we can try doing it me mum's way. If, though, you get me involved hip-deep in bloody armed battles, I swear by all that's good and holy I'll be well and truly pissed, no matter -who- your pop was, d'ye hear?" He looks pretty damned adamant. He quickly changes the subject, though: "Tomorrow's my first day of school. I need rest, and from the look of you, you need rest too. We can set to in the afternoon; you can stay right where you are tonight. If you need me I'm in the front." He leaves the door open, touches his fingers briefly to his brow, and heads out. [Scions] Zach grins. [Scions] Sexy! Declan oohs. You really need me. :) [Scions] Sexy! Declan says, "Tell 'er, Cubbie!" [Scions] Errolyn says, "Eh? ;)" [Scions] Sexy! Declan can put up glowing pentacles that scare the shit out of hoods. It's all about illusion, bay-bee. [Scions] !Hairy, McNeil says, "And mend wounds." [Scions] Sexy! Declan says, "Oh, sheez, that's just common sense first aid, though. The stuff they teach you in health class. ;)" [Scions] Veronica ooos! [Scions] Sexy! Declan doesn't do the mending, the Neosporin does. :) [Scions] Errolyn is impressed. :) [Scions] !Hairy, McNeil says, "Well, true. But your bedside manner is nice." [Scions] Errolyn is also purchasing a Kodak DC280 Zoom Digital Camera. >:D [Scions] That Rich Bitch Veronica thinks they should rent Dec out to parties. [Scions] Sexy! Declan licks Cubbie. [Scions] Errolyn throws that in just case she's dog gone excited. ;) [Scions] That Rich Bitch Veronica wants one! [Scions] Sexy! Declan says, "Silly Lyn. ^_^" [Scions] Zach woo hoos and cheers for Lyn! :) [Scions] Errolyn says, "Yayay!" [Scions] Sexy! Declan says, "Ronnie: Sure, I do parties. With my guitar. ;P :)" [OOC] McNeil says, "End there? Since you want to get tar and food before we begin. ;)" [OOC] Declan says, "You posin' once more, bud? :)" [OOC] Declan says, "Yeah, okay. ;)"
