The Farm and Fishery

*follows*

((because Slick HAS to get here first, and i HAVE to prevent double-posting...))

((boop))

*walks up and opens the door and clears the tab;e*

*the raven is still asleep though the food has been eaten there is no water left*

< put her down on the table let me grab my first aid kit 3<

*walks in behind Slick and puts Paint down on the table*

*Paint winces in pain*

c[ It's not- s-so bad. ]

< shoosh let me see 3<

*gently dabs away some blood to get a better look at the wound and the knife*

< hmm does not look like the knife hit anything important, we should be able to remove itwithout any problems 3<

< brace yourself this may hurt 3<

c[ ...Slick? ]

c[ There is something I've been meaning to ask you about. ]

*looks up*

< yes? what is it? 3<

*he says in a kind tone, whilst holding the knife gently*

c[ Before I found the farm, I ran into... the other Slick. ]

c[ He told me that he had a Ms. Paint of his own... ]

c[ And that he murdered her for 'ygg' ]

c[ Do you know anything about that? ]

*sighs and moves his hand from the knife*

*looks away and mumbles*

< it was the deal that was the final straw, what made me stop seeing you, what started me on the path i am on now 3<

< i guess that is another difference between me and him 3<

< the ygg he is talking about is yggdrasil 3<

< not long before i left she made me an offer, i would gain an enormous amount of power but i had to kill you 3<

< i refused 3<

< but 3<

< for a moment i considered accepting, at that point i realised how far i had gone and how much i could hurt those i cared about 3<

< how much i could hurt you 3<

< so i left, so i would not hurt you 3<

< and then, just as i finally fix myself, finally get free from her 3<

< you show up, like some great prize from GPI for my work 3<
< it was just 3<

< one of the happiest moments of my life 3<

*he looks up with a genuine smile*

((FEELS))

((I was listening to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbloXQeuNCc))

((I don't really know if it fits the situation but it sounded so sad and made what Slick was saying even sadder.))

*Ms. Paint smile back, but a single tear trickles down her cheek*

*lifts hand up and wipes the tear away*

< hey no, no tears now, there will be enough of those when i get this knife out and bind your wounds 3<

*he says with a weak smirk, obviously trying to lighten the mood*

((EDIT: oh em gee this music is amazing! i mean it is not as good as voltaire but i am severely biased towards the dark lyrical gypsy lord so my opinion is not the best xD ))

c[ Okay. ]

c[ Can you pull it out now? ]

< ok, brace yourself 3<

*takes hold of the knife and quickly and smoothly pulls it out before grabbing a damp towel and pressing it down on the wound*

< i know this hurts but it will stem the bleeding 3<

*looks to droog*

< hey have you finished sterilising the equipment? 3<

((Someone made a Homestuck comic with one of their songs. It's about the Sufferer. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JygyZqNBZrk))

*She lets out a muffled squeak*

< Yes. >

*hands Slick the equipment*

*takes it*

< thank you 3<

< paint i do not have any anesthetic on me so this is going to hurt 3<


< would you like something to bite down on, wooden spoons work wonders 3<

c[ Yes, thank you. ]

*Her voice is shaking with fear*

< ok one second 3<

*quickly gets the spoon and gives it to paint*

< ok now i am going to need to stitch this up ok? it is a pretty nasty wound and the sooner we get this closed the better 3<

< are you ready? 3<

*showing genuine care and worry here*

*She takes a deep breath*

c[ Yes, I'm ready. ]

< ok 3<

*begins to stitch the knife wound shut, cleaning it with alcohol rubs as he goes*

*he finishes after about fifteen minutes*

< there done, are you ok? you look a little shaky 3<

*Paint is still biting down of the spoon VERY hard*

*All she can manage is a nod*

< god i wish i had something to help with the pain 3<

*kisses her forehead before pressing his forehead against hers*

< i should known going there was a mistaken, i should have known she was there and just gone somewhere else 3<

< i am so sorry you got hurt 3<

c[ It wasn't your fault, Slick. ]

c[ Anyway, I'll be fine. ]

*She yawns*

c[ ...After I get enough sleep, that is. ]

< ok sure 3<

*moves a bit away, still holding her hand*

< can you walk? or do you need me to support some of your weight? 3<

< i mean not that you are heavy i mean 3<

< shit no that is not 3<

< augh FUCK IT 3<

*facepalms himself*
