Event/Infection from Nemesis 8_dressing

[dangerouscience]

The room was fairly dark and Ema felt compelled to keep it that way for now. She had shuffled herself against the wall and sat on the floor. Eyes wandered down to her ankle that had an unusual blemish that use to be a reddish color, but was more of a blue and purple color now. Her skin had paled quite a lot, perhaps even more so than how Joshua's

Watanuki was in the kitchen preparing food for everybody here.
Although all that was in the kitchen was eggplants,a LOT of junk food and maybe even a few other ingredients, he was sure he could whip up something for all of them.

He kept his eyes on the pan, frying up the eggplants, tempura style. He also has other side dishes out like small bowls of rice and even some cooked fish.

Although he's wonder how Ema is right now, maybe he should go check up on her after cooking, see if they could also use that first aid kit to help her out, even if he has a little to no chance at what he was doing, it was better than nothing right?

'There...its done.'
He said mentally and finished cooking the food, preparing it all into dishes and now walks out, with as many dishes as he could carry to the table where they were all located at.

"Ema...are you feeling okay?"
He asks in very worried tone, his mismatched eyes also shows his concern.

Her lab coat was pooled around near her feet, since she stripped it off. It made her feel kind of hot in it, for once. She hadn't said one word to anyone, as she had been quietly thinking to herself in a darkened corner of the room. Watanuki had been cooking for awhile and she could smell the scent of the prepared food. She felt hungry, but the smell of food wasn't giving her much of an appetite at all. It wasn't as if it smelled horribly.

Lifts her head up briefly and glances towards the boy quietly, before speaking up.

"I guess..."

[bitchofthegods]

Watanuki manages to give the girl a smile, a small comforting one, the best he could muster at this point. He walks over to Ema with food in hand, maybe she was still too tired and beaten up to walk to the table, so he'll bring it to her.

"Here."
He hands out the food towards her.

"I did the best I could with the few ingredients I had, you really need to go out shopping for more ingredients...I don't think you can live off eggplants and junk food for the rest of your life."
He gives a small chuckle after that, trying to lighten up the mood and maybe cheer her up a bit.

[dangerouscience]

"I...guess not. I'm not use to eating normally. In my line of work, I never have time to really eat an actual meal."
So, it was usually just snacks all the time and at least she ate eggplants. Still a vegetable if that's any consolation.

Gives a slight nod of her head, as he handed her the plate, "Thanks...You didn't have to bother cooking you know, Watanuki." Her hand brushed up against his. It was very clammy and fairly cold. Though the room temperature in the room seemed fine. Putting the plate in her lap, she took the fork and attempted to at least try to eat.

[Grandpa Joshua's awake again after a much longer nap. He's a little concerned how everyone is now. He knows better than to sleep for long periods of time like that but it seems here his human body demanded it.]
Ema....?

[dangerouscience]

Ema was currently backed against a wall in the room. Watanuki seemed to feeling her head to see if she had a fever. She wasn't looking too good at the moment.

"Hnn.."

[cantplayfair]

[Joshua gets up and walks over to the two and sits next to Ema and stares at her. He's got a feeling somethings horribly off here, he can sense her Vibe lowering slowly but the only thing that does that to people is when they're dying. That can't possibly be happening here can it? She's got no major injuries at the moment. So he just stares at her curiously trying to figure things out.]
What's wrong with you...

[dangerouscience]

"You're awake. Did you sleep okay?"
Doesn't really answer his question, then again she's not too sure herself. She had wondered when he'd get up from his power nap. It took a lot out of him apparently. The mild rash she had around her ankle, that she really didn't bother to tell anyone about looked more like an infection under her skin.

"Watanuki thinks I might have a fever...I just really don't feel like moving."
An exhale escaped her lips followed by heavy breathing. She found herself pulled up slowly from her spot on the floor by Watanuki, who was looking at him for some kind of help with her.

[dangerouscience]

Up stairs there could be an assortment of loud sounds with things falling over and perhaps even the sound of something breaking. It eventually stopped and there was merely silence upstairs. If one was to go up to the second floor of the home, there was a door opened further down the end of the hallway. Ema was situated in the room on the floor sitting on her knee's staring blankly at the wall. The room was a mess. bed sheets torn off the bed and down onto the floor. An assortment of different items situated on the floor and there was a standing mirror that wasn't to far away cracked. Most of the shards were on the floor.

She just felt and overwhelming since of anger, and then nothing. She didn't know what to think anymore, if she could do much of that anymore by herself.

"..."

NINJA TAG

[cantplayfair]

[Joshua hears the noise upstairs, he'll go investigate but he'll keep on hand in his pocket where he keeps his gun. He's not going to risk having Watanuki infected. It wouldn't look to good for him if both of them were dead if Zero got back. And it's not like she could infect the already dead God.]
Ema?

god damn ninjas D8<

[dangerouscience]

She made no movements upon hearing his voice. Her back was to him, while she sat on the floor with her arms hanging heavily against her. Eyes fixated onto the wall before she slowly closed her eyes. She didn't even want to bother to turn around to look at him.

"Go away...."

<3

[cantplayfair]

[Joshua doesn't want to pull the gun out yet, she's obviously still able to talk and think, somewhat. Unless she wanted him to kill her now he'd wait for her to completely turn, after all it's hard to kill a person you considered a friend it's easier to kill a mindless monster.]
I'm sorry you've gotten into such a mess.

I BRING HELP KINDA SORTA MAYBE?

[final_number]

[It's a tired Zero that finally returns to the nest house, and with any luck, his new acquaintance will be in tow. She claimed she could take care of the injured; Zero certainly hopes so, because he doesn't know what else to do and his search for further assistance proved pretty much futile as far as gaining more resources.

He bangs on the door, shouting]

It's Zero! Let me in!

[at least he can't possibly be zombified?]

YAY FOR HELP!!

[bitchofthegods]

Watanuki looks at the door and rushes towards it while Joshua left to take care of Ema.

He opens it and invites Zero in.

"Thank goodness you're here! Did you manage to find anyone? Things..aren't looking so good right now."

He said, voice nearly desperate.

YAY! ...now I have to go to bed. (dammit)

[final_number]

[Stress levels are way too high in Watanuki's voice. Zero frowns and quickly moves inside, blue gaze locked on the human sternly.]

She's gotten worse? I was afraid of that.

[He looks around for Ema]

Awww! Well there's always tomorrow at least! :D;;;

[bitchofthegods]

Watanuki looks down, guilt and frustration evident in his facial features.

"She...she's...she's infected...she's turning into one of them. Just a while ago, she looked deathly sick, and when I tried to carry her up, she was trying to..bite me it seems.
She ran upstairs after that and Joshua went in after her..."

Watanuki tries his best to keep his calm right now, but it was especially hard since his voice is breaking a bit, his eyes threatening to tear up too...he was disappointed and frustrated in himself.

"I'm sorry...if..if only I did a better job at cleaning up the wounds...

[cantplayfair]

[Joshua got up and got the gun ready and pointed it at Ema, one quick clean shot just like with Neku and it'd be all over for her.]

I never was good at making people feel better.

[And just like that Joshua pulls the trigger, of course he knows now that Watanuki and Zero will know he killed her and he doubted either would believe him that Ema was fine with this.

But that's what a friend is okay with right, ready to take the blame even when they simply helped the other friend? Or is he mistaken?]

[bitchofthegods]

[. . . Was that the sound of a gunshot? And it sounded like it was coming from upstairs. Watanuki looks over at the stairs, eyes wide and then runs towards and up the stairs, trying to find Ema's room.

That sound made the hair on the back of his neck stand on edge and he had a horrible feeling about this.]

[dangerouscience]

His horrible feeling would be right to feel something was terribly wrong, but when anyone hears a gun shot who wouldn't? One of the doors down the hallway was opened and if he were to go in he'd be met with an unpleasant sight of the room being in disordered with various items and shards of mirror on the floor, but more importantly Ema was down on her back on the floor. A single shot to her forehead made through and through with trails of blood running form the wound. She wasn't moving in the least.

Eyes slowly closing shut. The mixture of blood and a single tear running along together against her cheek. Maybe she would have liked to say something to Watanuki and Zero before she passed, but it only made things much harder.

[bitchofthegods]

[Watanuki has had this terrible feeling before...especially in the runs Yuuko has made him go, the one underneath the hydrangea...this feeling of death.

When he looks towards the room, he found Joshua and on the floor, was Ema, unmoving and...oh no.

Watanuki didn't really have the strength to say anything, he just stood there, in shock. She had a wound in her head...that would mean...]

"...No...you..wh...why did you..."
[He manages to say at the very least but his words still fail him, he just couldn't believe it.
Joshua killed Ema.
His very own friend....]
