DIY Teal and Celeste

[teamposts]

[A robot carries Cotton Candy (free of skills or powers) into Celeste's clearing, and a number of vines snake out from the surrounding forest to bind her firmly in place when it sets her down. The robot drags a rusty looking table out from the forest. On the table are a wide variety of surgical implements and a container filled with a sterile saline solution and a selection of various . . . well. They look a bit like organs—a length of tubing that resembles intestines, a strange stomach-shaped sack, a pair of shriveled balloon-like things. Are those supposed to be lungs?]

[The robot remains nearby in case it's needed. Or in case Celeste attempts to replace more than one organ.]

[congratulations Celeste. you got a rainbow. she gasps a bit when the vines tie her up but otherwise stays still.]

[ SORRY ABOUT THE GAP, MIGRAINE, I'm still not entirely here.

Shark, still minus one eye, steps forward to the table, not even paying attention to who they were given. fuck he was hoping an eye would count as a goddamn organ, but looks like something else is had in mind. turns around to face Nia, and he's not really looking at here, just angry, furious ]

Hey, should have fucking known better than to expect all my hopes and fucking dreams coming true! I'll be your amateur surgeon for the last fucking round of this shitty game, and let's see if I can grant a goddamn dream of yours! So what will it be: lungs, stomach, or intestines, you got a fucking preference?

[garlands]

[she, however, is looking him dead in the face]

...the stomach, please.

[acquest]

Good choice! Nice taste! Or should I have fucking saved that for a tongue operation? Haven't eaten anything fucking recently, have you? That will make this worse.

[ while he's chatting, taking off his gloves, and going through the instruments. selecting our a scalpel, the surgical clamps needed, and lucky you, it seems like he actually knows what he's doing ]

[garlands]

I do not really care if you think it will. That is hardly going to make a difference.

[her hands are shaking, despite the calm words]

[acquest]

Yeah, no anesthesia, this is going to hurt like a bitch. You ready? The card said "replace" not fuck up entirely everything in the abdominal cavity which is what's going to happen if you try and struggle.

[ rage status effect or no (friends don't let friends operate while mad) he doesn't particularly want to fuck this up, if nothing else because he doesn't want to deal with the consequences (who knows what the fuck those will be). and maybe something of his awful hobbyist pride. ]

[garlands]

I will not promise not to struggle, because that is absurd! You are cutting me open! I chose to be first on the list, and I will manage this as best I can. I will not try to struggle, but do not expect me to be quiet, or to never move, because that-- that is ridiculous!

[acquest]

Consider it friendly fucking advice. I said "try" in there goddamn already, learn to listen.

I ask again, you ready?

[garlands]

Go ahead.

[ it's hard when he's inflicted with rage, but he keeps his touch light

SCALPEL DRAWN ACROSS SKIN, AND CLAMPED BACK AWAY FROM THE INCISION ]

[garlands]

[chokes on a pained yelp, whimpering and her hands spasm, but she stays still]

[ the stomach is unfortunately not the easiest to reach organ, liver in the front of it. even being careful, he has to move things aside for access, before he can clamp off the esophagus and the stomach's connection to small intestine ]

[garlands]

[crying pretty much non-stop]

[acquest]

[ CLAMPS IN PLACE. NOW TO. SEVER ITS CONNECTION TO THE OTHER ORGANS ISN'T THIS FUN

and take it out. step 1 complete!! ]

[garlands]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH no it isn't.]

[acquest]

[ noisy noisy noisy

with good cause. GETTING THE REPLACEMENT ONE AND MANEUVERING IT IN THERE and okay do I waste my magic on her or do I stitch it the old fashion way. . . ]

[garlands]

[up to you, cause she fainted]

[acquest]

[ eh fainted no reason to waste magic definitely now. SEWING the stomach REMOVING CLAMPS, then sewing her up. ]
