Dylan helped Ladon getting the stretcher and unconscious Sparks inside. He went straight to where a pile of large cushions, pillows, and blankets, waited on the floor. Perfect, "Over hear...." he said, leading the way.

Once the got there, he unstrapped Sparks and with Ladon they lifted him onto pile. "We need to get most of his clothes off. They're soaked through now, he may be sweating, but he'll catch a chill or something." Again, something he had learned from his experiments.

They took off all that was decent, and made sure a nice wool blanket covered Sparks. Then, Dylan sat next to the man, and lifted the hand to inspect it. "I think you're right, ahhh?...." he didn't know the name of his helper, so he let that trail off. "It appears like a bite of some kind."

Ladon co-operated with Dylan, helping to get everything in order and Sparks relatively safely laid up and position Still, the boy couldn't relax, the idea that whatever it was that had happened to Sparks could happen to him too, wouldn't let him, he didn't even consider that he could be pretty dangerous himself too if he made a mistake until he dwelled on wether a snake had did it to the man with the fever.

He nervously tightened his blindfold.

"I'm Ladon. And yeah, it looks like a bite, I've had a few myself when I'm.." he smirked "brushing my hair. " he lapsed back into concern. "If it's a bite and a poison one, is there any way to cure it? If it isn't, what could it be?"

Dylan was thankful for the help, and it showed in his actions. He was much more talkative than usual and more open to accept this snake-like Rosin. He even let himself smile a little when Ladon joked about his hair.

"Dylan," he offered his own name and walked away for a moment.

He returned with water that was at a comfortable temperature and a couple rags. Dylan walked over the Sparks and sat down, legs splayed to get them out of the way (being able to just coil upon oneself would have been convenient at that point). He took a rag, wrung it out, and then dabbed at the sweat at Sparks's head.

"I think the head would be the most important to cool down first," he said not only to Ladon but to himself. "Just like with machines, it is the information processor that would be the thing you want overheating the most..." It was had to continue to wipe the sweat off Sparks's head, for the man get tossing.

Dylan crooed and spoke softly to Sparks, a side of him anyone never saw before.

He looked up to Ladon, concern written on his face as he had thought of something. "Redird.... If you spell that backwards, it's 'Drider'.... now, I've read that driders are a kind of...." he tried to come up with a word that wasn't offensive, "well, they are a kind of tauric Spider. Kind of how you are like a snake."

Dylan scurried around and looked at Sparks's hand, "Could that be a spider bite?"

Ladon noted the other boy's name, surprisingly glad to have another living being to chat to, he forgot how lonely he'd gotten with only the constructs for company. Even in such a risky situation, the company was very welcome and just as Dylan was being more open, Ladon was making an effort to be less self-obsessed and focus on the troubles at hand over himself. He joined Dylan on the floor beside Sparks, coiling his tail up out of the way.

He knew very little other than what the constructs had taught him, not aware of much to do with machines, more interested in fantastical stories than eingeneering. He nodded though. "Yesss, makess sense" the many keen serpentine eyes watched Dylan's concen and he added "I assume he was important to you then?"

He interuppted himself at the mention of spiders. "Spider people?" the thought made him shiver. He hated the eight legged things. "Sounds horrible. Really horrible. Maybe it was one of them. It might still be around."

Dylan took a hold of the hand and held on firmly as he sponged at the wound with the rag. He was hoping to coax some of poison out, even though he knew it was already too late for that. With a long sigh, he gave Ladon a pathetic look, "I think all we can really do is keep him cool but warm, and comfortable. I waited too long... whatever did this too him did it awhile ago."

"Yeah," Dylan said quietly, "He's sort of a cross between a father, teacher, and friend...." He didn't want to go into more detail, he may get choked up.

The boy got up and replaced the rag since it was now gross. Dylan re-took his spot at Sparks's head and resumed his method of trying to cool him down. "You wouldn't happen to know if there is any warm soup or water? It may help give him the strength he needs to fight this.... thing..."

Ladon's blindfold concealed a lot of his expression but he still frowned in sadness at how much seeing Sparks like this seemed to affect the other boy. He'd never really grown attached to anyone and he was really beginning to doubt the benifits of doing so if it could cause this much pain.

"I hope he'ss alright." he said, completely honestly.

He was feeling rather useless, so at Dyl's question, was only too happy to go get some water and see if there was any soup, even if he had relied on the construct to do all that for him till now. He did know how to use the microwave and could read the basic instructions on things.

"I think there is ssoup somewhere around here, and assss long as the water hassn't been affected, there should be that too. I'll go look."

Dylan smiled, at least something seemed to be going as it should. "Could you bring it over here? I have something that we can cook it with. I noticed awhile ago there's no electricity. I grabbed a whole bunch of things on my way out, so hopefully that will help.... and a soup that doesn't require and chewing."

The boy left Sparks for one moment, just to reach over and dig in the sack he had put a whole bunch of weird odds and ends. He pulled something out that looked like a bunsen burner, as well as an interesting lighter.

Ladon nodded, the fact that there was no electricity only just hitting him. Good thing Dylan thought ahead. "Will do." he said, heading to go retreive the soup.

He came back a short while afterwards with a glass of water, a pan of water, a bowl and the packet of powdered tomato soup. So he didn't drop it, he let one of his snakes be useful and carry the sachet, the others carried the bowl.

"Thiss okay?" he said, handing over the pan and putting the glass and bowl down. He then whipped the sachet of powder out of the jaws of the protesting snake and handed it over as well before letting his attention fall on the strange contraptions the boy had produced.

"What are they?"

Dylan looked at them and nodded, "Yes, those will be good." He reached in again and grabbed a metal bowl with a cap, and some attached.... handles made of a strange material. He didn't want to destroy the blass bowl.

"This is something that you can cook on. I've rigged it so it uses energy stored in this kind of battery." he pointed to a very pretty stone. "It will heat of the soup."

Dylan deftly grabbed the water and packet and poured them together, then stirred with a spoon he pulled out of his sack-o-wonders. He lit the burner, put it on and waited for it to heat up. "This is the worst part.... waiting."

The boy returned to Sparks side, where the man had a sheen of sweat on his face now since Dylan was previously occupied.

"Maybe..." The gila monster answered, tail laid low in the darkness as he squinted at the hall, trying to see if someone else was coming out of his room. "...Can't see much... Maybe the others are already outside ? Can't see anything moving."


Yukiko nodded and swallowed the lump in his throat as Snow started moving carefully down the stairs. Yuki looked over his shoulder and softly whispered, "W.. watch your step.." as one of his hands gripped the bannister and the other clung gently but firmly to Snow's white fur. As he neared the bottom he could hear voices and shuffling coming from around the corner and stopped, "W... who's there?" His voice was high pitched, squeaky, and most certainly frightened.

Marisole noticed the blue spikey boy and the one with the snakes on him. She had never met them before...although this was not a time for introductions. They were doing something to the little man with the tools.

"Is...is he okay?" she asked, hiding behind her hair. Then, as an after thought "Im marisole...".

Ora shuffled into view of the two rosen and raised a hand, a slither of skin falling off as he did so. He frowned slightly at the scared face of the paler one and quickened his pace. The komodo loomed over the two smaller rosen his shadow reaching far before him as if to catch them itself. As he neard thme, they could see that a large patch on his face was falling off and slightly waved in the breeze. Ora didn't meed to notice, more intent with catching up to the pair.

O_O! Yukiko squeaked as the big peeling thing moved closer to him and the others in the dark. It took him a moment to realize that this was probably just another rosin. They all certainly looked different from eachother. He fidgeted with the hem of his dress with one hand and waved uncertainly with the other. "H..h.. hello?"
PostPosted: Sat May 05, 2007 6:18 pm


Akoni reacted quickly at Yukiko's tenseness, by gently taking hold of his arm and getting closer. For some kind of reason - be it the circumstances, the fright in his voice, or even the fact the pale rosin was a bit smaller than him - the gila seemed oddly protective of this one. He interposed in between Yuki and the possible "treat", squinting a bit as he saw an hand rising. He couldn't make things out really well - the person was tall, had a tail... looked a bit like him, in fact...

And that jolted Akoni's flickle memory. "Ora ?" He asked out loud, squinting a bit more to try to make out if it was really him. The rosin had no hair - Ora was the only one he knew like that. "What's going on ?" He turned toward where the other girl had went, making out the faint outlines of Marisole, Dylan, Ladon, and Sparks. Sparks was rather easy to make out, even from that distance. But try as he will, he couldn't remember his name... "Is he gonna be okay... ?" His usual happy-go-lucky personality was completely absent, his voice betrayed his worry, and for the first time in his life, Akoni seemed to be taking the matter quite seriously, and seemed also pretty much focused. Weither it was the panic, or if he actually had it in him all along, was uncertain.

Visibly trusting Snow to take care of the two boys, Ty used his master's shock to break from his hold, making his way to Sparks and laying beside his head, licking a cheek in hope to wake up the small man. The dog gave a small whine when this failed, laying down and glancing at the others gathered. Visibely, Ty intended to keep guard on the small engineer, to watch upon the one who had brought him to his beloved master.

Suddenly very aware of the number of people around her Marisole snuck away from the crowd and began walking towards the east.
