Sugarboy and Tahl vs. Death Magic

[20:17] Sugarboy rolls outta bed.
(Sugarboy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:17] Sima Kang says, "SUGARBOYUNCLEETHANGOTHURTANDDADWASTHEREBUTGOTBLASTEDOUTOFTHELIGHTHOUSE--"
[20:17] Sima is very clearly panicking.
(Sima Kang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:17] Skye floats over to Sima and quite literally smacks him.
(Skye Roberts)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:17] Skye Roberts says, "Calm..down."
[20:20] Sugarboy asks, "W-what the hell?"
[20:20] Sugarboy says, "O-one second.."
[20:20] Tahl quickly lays Ethan on the bed with Sima's aid (presumably.) She rushes over to the side room, creating a blur as she moves because she's got fast feet and she's in a rush. Once she grabs her medical bag she returns to Ethan's side.

Assuming Ethan is unconscious, Tahl pries his eyes open with a finger in order to check his pupils, she is looking for dialation, blood shot eyes, any hint of magic that might linger within the man to give her some clarity as to what happened.

Afterwards, she produces a thermometer and puts it in Ethan's mouth. While she waits for his temperature to register upon the device she begins to look over his body, checking for injuries, when Sugarboy rolls out of bed she glances at him.

"Male, early to mid fourties, found slumped on the floor of the lighthouse from unknown effects at this time. Shallow breathing, no verbal response. deep gash upon his arm and was in a poolof blood. I'm not sure if the glowing of his arm is normal or not." she says strangely calm
(Tahldrig)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:22] Sima is promptly smacked! He looks towards Skye, flabbergasted, but... Falls silent.
(Sima Kang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:23] Tahldrig glares at Skye when the sound of a smack hitting Sima reaches her ears, that will be addressed another time.
(Tahldrig)

[20:32] Agava whispers something.
[20:33] Skye Roberts whispers something.
[20:34] Sima Kang whispers something.
[20:34] Sima Kang whispers something.
[20:34] Agava whispers something.
[20:35] Agava whispers something.
[20:35] Sima Kang whispers something.
[20:35] Agava whispers something.

[20:36] Sima Kang whispers something.
[20:36] Agava whispers something.
[20:36] Sima Kang whispers something.
[20:37] The old man JUST woke up, and it looked like there was a lot of bullshit coming at him at once. He'd reach into his breast plate, pulling out a fat rolled joint of soothing reed and would light it- he saved this one for special occasions.

One deep pull and an exhale, he could feel his body immediately go weightless, shaking his head as the high settled in he'd step forward, inspecting the glowing arm and gash.

Part of being a doctor was detective work, with Cal being blasted out of the window, and Ethan being left hurt and unconscious, he could only assume an experiment had gone horribly wrong.

His mana would reach out into Ethan as he assessed how much blood he had lost, checking for concussion or any swelling of the brain. He had actually known Ethan for a good while, knowing him to be an occultist.

"Tahl, I'm taking the lead on this one because of the urgency- However I will need you help applying your cosmic magic, as my holy here would do more harm than good." He would pause, curious if his new connection to the lifestream would help or harm more? No time to risk it. He would already begin stopping any more blood from spilling, washing the arm and checking his body for any other injuries.
(Sugarboy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:38] Agava whispers something.
[20:38] Sima Kang says, "... I'm going to check on Cordelia. I'll talk to you guys in a bit uhm... Hope you're doing alright, Skye."
[20:38] Agava asks, "Mind if I join you, Sima?"
[20:39] Sima Kang says, "... I'unno, Cordie may need some room to breathe."
[20:39] Skye Roberts says, "I'll...be in Gehenna Sima.."
[20:39] Agava whispers something.
[20:39] Sugarboy says, "Safe travels, both of you."
[20:39] Skye Roberts says, "I dont think I can deal with this right now.."
[20:39] Sugarboy says, "Be careful. "
[20:39] Sima Kang asks, "I'll come uhm... Later, Skye, travel safe ok?"
[20:40] Skye Roberts says, "Ah..will do.."
[20:40] Sima Kang says, "-- Cordelia should you be walking-"
[20:40] There's a nod of her head as she closes her eyes, within an instant due to her adrenaline cosmic magic quickly surges from her form. "Bring her here to be checked up please Sim. I'll be with you shortly."

She then steps to the side to allow Sugarboy to begin working on Ethan.

While she wants to go with Sima to keep him safe, there's someone injured that needs to be tended to first. But then Cordelia comes in the clinic! Huzzah! now Sima may not have to leave!
(Tahldrig)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:40] Sugarboy exclaims, "Cordelia! Long time no see!"
[20:40] She was wobbly, but soon enough she waved a hand,

"Stop," She said, in regard to the boy's concern. She looked past him towards Sugarboy and nodded, "Yeah...." She mumbled. She seemed out of it, still weak.
(Cordelia Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:41] Agava says, "Hell oCordlia."
[20:42] Sima was already stepping forth to check on her, yet he's promptly stopped as Cordelia speaks. Visibly shrinking he'd give a weak little nod. Crossing his arms against his chest he'd grip either sleeve, shifting his eyes between everyone.

What a terrible day.
(Sima Kang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:42] Agava asks, "What exactly transpired?"
[20:43] Cordelia Avitus says, "... Pain...."
[20:43] Sima Kang says, "... Dad's thing worked."
[20:45] A finger lands on Agava,

"You're.... An adult, right?" She asked, eyes briefly squinting.
(Cordelia Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:45] Agava says, "We spoke before dear, Its me Agava and yes I am an adult."
[20:45] Cordelia Avitus says, "....."
[20:46] Cordelia Avitus asks, "If I give you money will you buy my alcohol?"
[20:46] Agava asks, "Uh... what...?"
[20:46] Sima Kang says, "She wants uhm... Booze, missus Agava. I'm going to go lock the lighthouse real quick."
[20:46] Agava says, "Why you want an alcohol...I mean you are an adult yourself..."
[20:46] Agava appears clearly confused.
(Agava)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:47] Cordelia Avitus says, "..... Don't feel like walking."
[20:47] Sugarboy says, "I got vodka if ya fancy that"
[20:47] Tahldrig says, "There's some vodka used for sterilizing medical tools on the shelf in there."
[20:47] Cordelia Avitus says, "Yeah, give."
[20:47] Agava says, "Sit down first."
[20:47] Cordelia Avitus says, "Just - give."
[20:48] Sugarboy coats a bottle in water and floats it over to her.
(Sugarboy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:49] Agava sighs and walks towards the medical storage before taking out a small bottle of alcohol only to approach Cordelia and offer it to her, sitll confused.
(Agava)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:50] Ethan's state wasn't too poor all on its own. The light that was shed in his eyes forced him to squint a tad, pushing away at the apprentice medic who didn't seem to be able to properly assess people's consciousness. That being said the old man's left arm was a complete mess. Injuries of the past had mixed in with this new one.

The Ouroboros tattoo he had all along his arm was glowing with a red color, bringing forth a presence unlike any other. Those who had met it before would know exactly what it was. Those who hadn't would feel how vile it was; Death Magic was the culprit, though it was contained. Anyone who had seen Reito, Satsuki, or Noel's arms may be able to recognize the ink used for Ethan's tattoo as it was the exact same made for the proper use of the Sunyata technique.

On the surface of his arm was the remains of divine magic roaming about, a golden gleam lining the deep gash the sharp attack had caused. Up on his shoulder and descending were old burns and scars from another day.

Even deeper, Ethan's wrist was nothing but metal anymore - bones having been blown to smithereens in the past.

What a horrible luck this left arm had, though the most recent wound would be obvious; it had brought the bleeding.
(Ethan Hawke)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:51] She was offered not just one, but two bottles of medical grade vodka. Great. She took both and opened only one for the time being, quickly taking an incredibly large swig.

The reaction was immediate. Whereas before she could hardly taste the bitterness of the alcohol, now it hit her hard and she shook her head, blinking back tears from how strong it was. There was a difference. She was quiet for a bit, uneven pink eyes looking at Ethan laid out on the bed before she spoke again,

"... Is he gonna be okay?" She asked.
(Cordelia Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:58] She shook her head and took another swig of the vodka she had opened. It dulled the pain.
(Cordelia Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:02] Sima remains silent, light blue hues shifting between everyone. There was a million questions he'd like to ask but now was /definitely/ not the time.
(Sima Kang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:02] Cordelia Avitus whispers something.
[21:02] Agava whispers something.
[21:03] Agava whispers something.
[21:03] "A course he is! Now Cordie, sweetie, I'm gonna need you to sit down or something, especially if you're not feeling good. Doctor's orders." With that he'd turn back to the barely conscious man.

Despite his age, Sugarboy wasn't able to recognize the tattoos of Sunyata, though it was something he planned to learn very soon. However, the thing that couldn't be ignored was that sickening presence of death magic. A powerful art he had only heard about, never having thought he'd actually seen it.

His prior guess as to an experiment gone wrong went right out the window, some sort of coordinated attack, right in Levengard? Or did Ethan portal his way in after the attack? Either way, this clearly went above and beyong what the student alone could cleanse.

On the outside, the Doctor looked calm and collected as he reached over for an inkwell and brush. Tahldrig and any other runescribes in the room would recognize that he was putting containment runes across his shoulder, isolating the mana to the arm that had been through too much.

However, inside? Sugarboy was nervous, there was a lot going on at once, and he wasn't entirely sure how to handle it. "Alright Tahl- I want you to hit this with absolutely everything you've got. I want you to dig deep, do you think you can do that?" He'd frame her face between both of his hands, lowering his shades to reveal the very serious look in his old ocean blues.

"I'm going to be right here- I'm even going to give you some of my mana to help expunge this." He'd remove both hands, placing one on her shoulder as he ignited in a lively light, filling the young Gehennan with all of the confidance that he held in her and her ability to expel the Death magic from the occultist. She could feel a great spike in her power as the energy of the lifestream flowed from Sugarboy and into her circuits.
(Sugarboy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:03] Agava whispers something.
[21:04] Agava asks, "Sugar, need me for anything?"
[21:06] With Sugarboy's reassurance that Ethan was going to be fine, Cordelia nodded, albeit briefly. Even with his orders to sit down she waved those off too. Despite the fact Calael had essentially brought her back to life, she was still the same Cordelia.

"I'm fine," She insisted. More alcohol was followed soon after and now she paused, sighing lightly. There wasn't anything she could really do for Ethan at the moment and clinics? She didn't like them, "I'm gonna.... Get some air," She said.

Air to avoid having to watch them try and work on Ethan. Air to avoid having to answer questions she didn't want to answer.
(Cordelia Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:07] Agava whispers: Need my hand?
[21:08] Sugarboy asks, "Ah, what kind of Magic do you have?"
[21:08] Sugarboy asks, "Anything to help cleanse?"
[21:09] Agava says, "Nature, earth...dryad's blood. I am also a qualified doctor."
[21:16] Agava says, "I am guessing that I won't be of use then."
[21:17] Sugarboy says, "Not for what we're dealing with here.."
[21:17] Sugarboy says, "Thank you though, Agava, I appreciate it"
[21:17] Sugarboy asks, "... What does Dryad's blood do anyway?"
[21:19] Agava says, "Potent in mana to start a life in a sense, prone to make nature bloom like mad."
[21:21] Sugarboy says, "Fascinating.. "
[21:21] Cordelia Avitus says, "......"
[21:21] Upon hearing Sugarboy's request there's a confidant nod of the blonde's head. She saw the containment runes that Sugarboy used to withdraw Reika from Iral in her second procedure.

"Hit it with everything? Got it Sugarboy." Perhaps.. everything might not be the wisest of decisions, Tahldrig has enough strength to fell most adults within her magics. Focusing everything on just her cosmic magic though, that should handle it. Yet the wording from Sugarboy's request causes her to reconsider.. While Sugarboy looked calm, she knew the man well enough to know whatever was afflicting Ethan was making him nervous.

Since Sugarboy opted to strengthen her, that meant something very strong.. She knows Ethan is an occultist though, so there's some internal deliberation within the Gehennan. Would some pain from her holy magic be worth it? No.. not now.. if push came to shove the girl can always use it to attempt to combat the death magic.

With the amplification of Sugarboy's magic within her's Tahl's cosmic magic seems to lose it's warmth, an icy air fills the room as large blue orbs begin to expand and condense until they rapidly explode. Tahl's mana is drawn from the night sky, and with the amount of mana she's grown used to holding within herself, that left quite the room for enhanced magics that lie beyond her own control.

However she's not alone.

A grimace appears on her face at the surge in her mana, hot damn Sugarboy had some potent mana. She could get used to this! She places both hands over the area afflicted with death magic and with a steady stream, let the flood of magic within her flow outwards over the area.
(Tahldrig)

[21:35] Agava says, "Tah, Sugar, we will be at the dryad hill."
[21:35] Agava says, "Be safe Cordelia."
[21:44] As Tahldrig placed her hands on the arm, channeling the power of the cosmos to cleanse the arm of the magic the old man had never seen before, he began to realize something. He had noticed similarities between occult infection and void taint- anything from the void was significantly worse than simple occult.

Both came from sources of chaos- however, this level of curse went even beyond the vile things Sugarboy had seen come from interacting with the void. Where occult was easily washed out with cosmic or holy, void fought a bit but eventually succumbed, death magic fought back.

The glow of the crimson along his tattoos would falter for a moment before coming out brighter than before, seeking to spread further. Surely Tahldrig would see it and try to channel more into it, an attempt to smother it, and Sugarboy in kind would impower her to give her the strength to do it.

Though it felt as if they were at a stalemate, the powerful magic able to hold it's own against the two exorcists. The old man would begin shaking his head, they needed something extra, something more. He knew of some rituals- would they work? Fuck if he knew, but they couldn't hurt! Right?

He had to keep one hand on Tahl to maintain the connection between them, letting go now would surely backfire against her, so he'd bite his thumb, hard, canine breaking skin and drawing blood as he swiped his hand across the arm, scarlet blood splashing over crimson tattooes as they took the form of a letters runes, all connected by a serpent that consumed it's own tail as it wrapped around Ethan's arm.

Head rolling back as Sugarboy closed his eyes, muttering a prayer hoping it would be enough. "Jormangundr, dragon of the deep, keeper of the cycle, I give my blood for the strength to rid this man of the curse that has taken over him. May your will guide mywaters to cleanse this affliction." And with that, he would use normal water to wash over the arm- every light in the room being snuffed out, the only thing visible was the crimson glow of death magic, the blue cosmic of Taghldrig, and an ethereal blue from the waters that cloaked his arm.

It was just what they needed, the waters providing the death magic with no footing to fight back, Tahldrig's purifying mana having plenty of force to wipe out the curse with the following minutes of intense focus.
(Sugarboy)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:53] This was certainly something else. Celestial energies paired with relentless waters, runes, prayers and the lifestream's aid itself were all focused upon the man's arm at once. The sheer amount of energy poured out made the curse laid upon his arm fight right back - snapping at the magics as it had with its previous contender.

The gash in his arm was washed right off by the waters, blood tainting it red as the purifying process began. Everything that was laid out made the lights in the room flicker. Bursts of mana erupted one after the other from the man's body as he leaned his face away a bit. From underneat him a muffled, quiet complaint could be heard for some reason - whatever that was.

A bright flash of golden, red, blue, and yellow erupted forth, filling the room as the cleansing reached its very greatest height. Despite his sunglasses even Sugarboy would be blinded for a few moments, only for the result of it all to manifest itself before all's eyes.

... The gash was healed. There was no more blood. The golden energies laid upon his arm were completely gone and...

... that was the only change. The tattoo still remained right were it was, the red glow was as present as it had been before - perhaps even more ferocious.

Ethan clenched his hand a few times before he offered a grin towards the medic, and a nod. His lips parted as he sat up, feeling better than before.

"Thanks, dude."

... That was it? How could he not be worried about the clear manifestation of death magic that roamed about the Ouroboros tattooed on his arm, shifting and burning as it passed? Was he oblivious to it or something?!

Ethan Hawke moved to hop out of bed with no further comment.
(Ethan Hawke)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:56] She leaned against the wall, drinking the vodka greedily.
(Cordelia Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:57] As the combined strength of Sugarboy and Tahl continue to wash over Ethan's affliction, Tahl begins to struggle, such an exertion isn't easy on her, but she does not relent, not until everything is safe. She continues to push as hard as she possibly can, the circuitry throughout her body glowing brightly until the death magic was gone.

As the blinding light faded away, so did Tahl's magic, along with that, her ability to stand. Her knees buckle and she slumps to the ground, breathing heavily from exhaustion but uninjured. She couldn't push any more at this time. Weather or not the death magic is gone or not remains unclear to Tahl.. she's not absolutely certain when it comes to things such as that.

As Ethan hops off the bed Tahl turns around to lean against it, taking a moment to catch her breath.
(Tahldrig)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:02] There was A LOT going on to say the least, however, with the flash, Sugarboy would fall back as he tried to cover his eyes- OH HELL DID HE BLOW UP? Patting himself down, he felt whole and alive, there was a big white spot left in his vision as he looked up just in time for Ethan to say thanks.

"Yeah, no problem fam."

Half drained of his mana- which with how much he had? Was still a lot to spend, especially at his age. He'd let Ethan walk off as if nothing happened, and he would re-light that fat joint hit lit when he first rolled out of the medical bed he stayed in. Spirits they actually did it.

Slowly rising to his feet, he'd throw a hand up. "I'm going to fucking dryad hill, this place stresses me the fuck out."
(Sugarboy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:02] Tahldrig gets up and walks off too.
(Tahldrig)
