[ 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. ]

[stupidly]

[Well as long as he's not DEAD... Whatever, at least this won't be the first time he's had to tote Break's unconscious body around.]

[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?

[stupidly]

[Luckily Break is a frail skinny old man, so even unconscious, he's not too heavy...]

I— No, I think I'll be fine. But thank you... [And while he's hefting Break up, he'll think to ask:] Are you all right, this time?

[Team Greed seems to be having a chain of very unfortunate events and all...]

[herbgrace]

Alright, as long as you can manage. As for that-- It's only a sore throat. Pride seems to have it much worse. [Her voice is rough and it does hurt to speak, but she can deal with it. She's adjusted to all of these deathshocks.]

[stupidly]

Mm, I'll be fine. [He's used to this... Dammit, Break!!]

Er— I'm glad yours wasn't as bad this time, at least.

[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??? )

[stupidly]

Urashima—?!

[Everyone's just yelling all the time now, panic! at the trial...

First he's focused on making sure Break's dumb ass is still breathing, but once he's got that confirmed, he glances up and over and and spots the things Urashima's picked up.]

Oh— Ah... Thank you. Er— [Glancing back at Break...] ...He'll be fine.

[minogame]

( OF COURSE EVERYONE IS SCREAMING? BREAK JUST KEELED OVER AND ALMOST DIED? )

Ah... ( He wants to ask if Break is going to be okay but Gilbert already answers him. So Urashima will just finish picking up the cane and the letter and hold it all carefully (especially the cane-sword). ) Uhm, I can carry these for you.

[stupidly]

Thanks. I would really appreciate that...

[Considering his hands are full, pretty much literally. Break may be a wisp of an old man, but it still takes two hands for Gilbert to piggyback him.]

[minogame]

( And coming on over so he can follow, )

... Is he going to be all right?

[stupidly]

He'll be all right.

[SAID QUICKLY... Maybe a little too quickly.]

...This trial just put a lot of strain on him.

[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...]

[detanimetion]

I'M FINE!! [Clutching at her chest with one arm and still holding on to Break with the other! She refuses to drop him even if her grip is probably tight enough to bruise at this point her pride as a shoujo hero is on the line here] This is nothing! I don't feel a thing!! I can't believe Vegeta died from something this weak! It barely tickles!!

[stupidly]

Undyne... [He's been through the death shocks before okay HE KNOWS THEY'RE BAD. Anyway, he'll just... come over here to fetch Break's unconscious potato sack body, though he's watching Undyne carefully too.]

...It'll wear off by the morning.

[detanimetion]

[It probably says something about how much it does hurt that she just lets Gilbert take Break's dumb useless old man body without fighting him for it.]

What will wear off by morning, I have no idea what you're talking about!! [...okay, she still has her pride though.]

Ugh...I have to find Papyrus.

[stupidly]

[He'll take this potato sack carefully then, and made sure he hasn't gotten any old man blood on poor Undyne.]

—Right. Just don't push yourself.

[Go find your next swooning damsel to catch!!]
