Deathshocks

[vicedirector]

[ Alisha, Astrid, Break, Undyne, and Papyrus will have horrible chest pains, akin to the "heart attack" stereotype. Lithuania and Rhys will have bad sore throats. These effects will last for the rest of the night and will not fade until they go to sleep.

Or fade at around 6am for those of you who don't sleep. ]

[princessantly]

[ ... Okay. Alisha's been fortunate. She's never had to endure phantom pains before. And she's braced, even though she wasn't really watching Vegeta's execution take place.

Except no, she wasn't braced at all, because ow (understatement). She's instantly curling her fingers over her chest with an agonized gasp and... crumpling to her knees. Because doubling over in the snow will help?? Somehow??

Alisha, no. ]

[herbgrace]

[Oh dear, Lithuania is going to rush over to Alisha and crouch down, touching her shoulder lightly. Lithuania's voice is rough from her sore throat, but she can ignore it.] Alisha? Do you need help getting to your room?

[princessantly]

I-- [ oh god why is she short of breath-- but she did see Break kind of crumple off to the side, so... ]

I'll be... fine... please help-- [ SOME KIND OF GESTURE AT BREAK. ]

[herbgrace]

[...Alright, but only because Faize is also here to help you. Also, Break looks super passed out. She pats Alisha on the head very gently.] Take care of yourself. You'll feel better tomorrow. [And she's off!]

[symbologic]

[He's still been kind of hovering behind her this whole time because he knows what's coming next. Well, that and to make sure she didn't try and like...jump Vegeta before his execution or something. But apparently Undyne has the covered.]

[The minute she crumples, he moves to kneel next to her.]

Alisha? What is it? Where?

[Because obviously it's PAIN, but...what KIND of pain?]

[princessantly]

[ She's a sensible girl, really!

Just a sensible girl in pain right now, and she's hoping it'll stop like-- any minute, but no, of course not. ]

My chest... [ ... is all she can really get out before she's wincing and trying to curl up further. ]

[symbologic]

[He is, and he's glad. He's less glad about chest pains though. Though that's...sorta better than pain all over? Maybe? Not really. He sighs.]

It will pass by morning, though I'm sure that means little to you right now. Here... [He's going to try and get her to uncurl a bit. Come on. He's not strong enough to actually carry you unless it's a piggy-back and he can't do that if you're impersonating a hedgehog in the snow.]

[dhaosu]

[ Dhaos comes by her side, and reaches his hand out to Alisha. He's not going to just let someone just crumple there.....in pain... ]

Alisha, do you require any assistance?

[princessantly]

I'll be fine... [ IS WHAT ALISHA WOULD SAY REGARDLESS, and it's obvious from the way she tries to lift her head and glance around that she's actually worried about the others. ]

[dhaosu]

[ Dhaos doesn't seem to say anything when she does. He doesn't care about most of the others. Or they seem to be fine, but it seems at some point another will be assisting Alisha, so he is off. Humans will be likely fine on their own anyway. ]

[Papyrus is slowly making his way to Alisha... STRUGGLING.... stumbling over in pain]

ALISHA! I, THE GREAT PAP....

[crumples to the ground]

[slowly starts to pick himself up]

PAPY....

[friendboned]

[crumples to the ground]

[slowly picks himself up] THE GREAT PA.....

[doubles over]

PAP.....

[friendboned]

THE GREAT ME.... WILL RESCUE Y...Y....

[falls in the snow in front of her]

[princessantly]

Sir Papyrus?!

[ ... reaching out just enough to pat his... shoulder bone??? Be okay?? Ow???? ]

[friendboned]

[It's very bony. Congratulations]

[attempting to reach out for her other hand, apparently heartened by her pat!!]

NYOW OW OW.... ALISHA!! THERE IS NO MORE NEED TO WORRY. I WILL CARRY YOU IN MY ARMS!!!

[thebonezone]

[sweatdropping like one of undyne's animes]

...you okay there, bro?

[papyrus plz]

[detanimetion]

Papyrus!

[Running towards him to try to catch him and help him up! IGNORING HER OWN HEART ATTACKS THROUGH SHEER DETERMINATION] Are you -- ngh, are you okay? Come on, let's go back to our room!

[crazily]

[ As usual, Break can only listen to the execution, but even from the confusing sounds of it, he can tell that he's not going to like what comes next. It's not really a secret anymore that the aftermath of the execution to the related sins is tied to how the person dies, and this doesn't bode well for him. He was told by more than one person to sleep last night, but hadn't managed, and this trial had taken its toll on him. He's on team shady for a reason, so he hadn't been surprised to be a good contender as a suspect, but still, it's stressful and caused him to exert himself a bit more than he probably should have.

So when the chest pain comes, he's not quite surprised, but it still hits him hard. Rhys was definitely exaggerating (so far as Break is concerned), but it's true that he's frail, and the stress here hadn't helped matters in the slightest. He tries to keep it under control at first, just crossing his arms as his breathing gets heavier.

But as he turns to leave, moving seems to worsen the pain, or at least makes it harder for him to focus on just staying upright. His hand moves to his chest, but then it quickly comes to his mouth as he coughs. It's a heavy, wet cough that definitely comes with blood splattering against his hand, but it's also short. That step wavers, and Break sways to the side as he just deadass passes out. Hopefully someone will catch him, or he can just fall into the snow. He's definitely unconscious either way, since he's finally getting his sleep like three people told him to...

Thanks, Vegeta!! ]

[stupidly]

[Hm, what's that nasty sound over there, like someone's got TB...]

—Break?!

[HOLY SHIT YOU CAN'T JUST COUGH UP BLOOD AND PASS OUT AFTER AN EXECUTION--

Ugh he's in the middle of trying to gather Break's things up that had been left out for clues - the letter, for one - but of course, he immediate ditches them to go catch Break so he doesn't land face-first in the snow or something. With his luck, he'd find the one patch of ice and crack his head open.]

[crazily]

[ Break get KO'd by the deathshocks, so he's completely deadweight, but at least he's not, you know, dead. So, good luck Gilbert, you get to carry him back to wherever, since he's not waking up for a while. ]

[herbgrace]

[Hello, friend, Alisha has sent Lithuania to help you guys out. It looks like Gilbert basically has this, but Lithuania will still offer.] Do you need help carrying him?

[minogame]

( WHAT THE HECK URASHIMA IS JUST MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE IS DYING AGAIN??

There's a lot going on and he doesn't even realize what's going on until Gilbert yells for Break, )

Mr. Gil-- ( AAAAAAAH ) Mr. Break!?

( Look, he's a tiny sword so it's not like he can help carry Break or anything? And it looks like Lithuania is probably helping maybe??? So he'll just.., pick up those things Gilbert just dropped??? )

[detanimetion]

[Oh man is someone finally swooning into her manly arms she is not giving up this chance!! She catches him in her arms, gently cradling his body like a true shoujo protag...

...before doubling over when the effects hit her too.]

Ngaaah! Vegeta, you absolute asshole! You couldn't have died peacefully in your sleep?!

[stupidly]

[A DASHING HEROINE, A TRUE SHOUJO PROTAG--

Anyway since Break's out like a dying light, here's Gilbert to make sure Undyne's not about to keel over.]

Are you going to be all right—? That looked... [That looked like a rough execution to have deathshocks for...]
