"THREE WEEKS?!? What is with your world and making us sleep so long." Aestus cried out in disbelief.
Caligo meanwhile, bit his bottle, their fangs sinking in, and they seems to be using them drink somehow? (Got them vampire teeth) "What did you give Cal? I’ve never seen them…so relaxed? Well appart from new moon but even that is exceptional." Aestus questioned with worry.
They won’t even comment on being called kids, they seems tens of thousand of years older then either of them, or their creators now that they think about it.

"Sleepin' like babies you two. Your bodies aren't going to be the same as they are back in your world. So you'll take a longer time to recover. It's not that hard to think about." Infinity sneakily replied. Fang punched her in the gut with a small 'oof' coming from Infinity. "Cal's got a bottle of water like you. Nothing special in it that I know of. Maybe he really needs to drink more water?" Fang replied to Aestus'
Offline
"That’s not- sigh never mind." Aestus sighed, guess they will have to wait for the doctor if they want out of all the tubes. Caligo meanwhile was chewing on his now empty, and punctured, bottle.
(This is actually normal behaviour I swear he just like biting stuff)
Offline
"If you keep chewing on that, I am not going to get the shreds of plastic out of your throat Caligo." Aster said to him, snatching the water bottle and bonking him on the head with it. "You two can take the blindfolds off, I assume you're good enough to. Aestus, I did managed to do some eye procedures with the help of a few colleges...so you're going to see a lot better with the necklace. However, I cannot say the same if you go back to your world. At most you'll be able to see, but only for so long I would assume before you strin your eyes too much."
Offline
Caligo stuck their tongues out at Aster as he honked them. "So I may need glasses once back home, better then seeing nothing I suppose, thanks you." Aestus said, as they took the blindfold off, blinking at the sudden light, oh, the world isn’t that gloomy after all!
"Hmm, plastic squishy" Caligo said, "seriously what what did you gave her? I am getting concerned" Aestus said, reaching over to take Caligo’s blindfold off for them.
Offline
"I don't know if glasses would help that much, but you are more than welcome to try Aestus. And I gave Caligo some horse tranquilizer since he was quite squeamish when he saw you come out of the ER. So he's uhh..." Aster looked at a loss of words. Infinity groaned and stood up. "Really fucked up with drugs." she said, finishing Aster sentnece. "Er...yes, that works too." he replied.
"He'll be like this for another hour I suppose. It's kinda cute seeing you kids like this anyways." Infinity said, handing Caligo a small stuffed bear.
Offline
(GAVE HIM HORSE MEDS?! XD those things strong no? Thought he just had very strong human pain meds)
"The hell is a horse, and we’re still not kids!" Aestus said, exasperated "and get these tubes off me!…please." Aestus added almost pleadingly. At least she could calm down, knowing Cal was ok, just completely drunk out of their mind.
"Cears look weird."Caligo said as they grabbed the bear, but they still hang on to it tightly.
Offline
"Stop teasing them. Caligo's body doesn't know how to process simple anesthesia, that's all. Aster didn't drug him with anything heavier than something Infinity would use. So don't worry too much about it. And only Aster can discharge you two from the RC anyways. So relax a bit. You've got nothing better to do anyways. Oh, and Fang? Flare wants you in the Firing Chamber, Crimson is awake." Agni said, leaning on Fang's shoulders.
Offline
"Good luck with it Fang." Aestus said, these cables are very uncomfortable, they thought, before looking over at Caligo just in time to see her pull one of the heart monitor’s cable off them. Guess they agree, Aetsus thought, but still reached over to press it back in place and quickly retracted his arm before her gremlin could think of grabbing it.
(I have the unfortunate experience of knowing that these cable are on sticky little pads, cold and sticky, but hey! If they unstick a bit you can just press them back on)
Offline
"Thanks..." Fang said softly and left the room.
"Gods, if you two are really that desperate, I'll run one more round and get it off of you..." Aster told them and walked over to the console filled with odd buttons and gauges in-between their beds. "Don't move to much while they are running. It'll be 5 minutes." he told them.
(EKG isn't horrible. If anything I almost like tearing them off and placing them back on. It soothes my ADHD brain. Oh, right, I know well since I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor. So I have a bit of medical knowledge in my brain)
Offline
(Ooo neat! I like to look up stuff something, I don’t think I have that much knowledge appart from biology class and the odds search I did when I tried to make a alien species that one time. I only know of the ekg (which I had to look up cause it’s not the same acronyme in French!) cause my body rejected some meds I had to take, like very badly, the sticky stuff made my skin crawl personally, I don’t like sticky things one me)
"Sorry, it just, feel weird, and I have to keep my temperature way lower than I prefer so I don’t melt it all, I would rather not have tiny metals bits in me." Aestus signed, they are trying to keep their temperature around a human’s, which their body seem to have done on their own while they slept, but now she has to do it consciously and is all too aware of all the sticky and point stuff in and on him.
Offline
Aster looked at Aestus with a mix between puzzle and 'are you serious?' look. "You...you do know that Crimson is the same way? You won't melt things here anyways." he said, taking off the medical devices as he talked. "Besides, even if you did, it's not going to kill you. We have metals that have different properties here anyways. So it's not going to kill you."
Offline
"I thought he would explode if his temperature ever went that high" it was Aestus’s turn to be puzzled.
"We can’t die, but I don’t what things in my blood for the rest of eternity, or until I go supernova" Aestus said that last part more to themselves.
Offline
"That's on very specific conditions. Usually if his body temperature gets to high, we take him to the Firing Chamber to let him burn it off with Flare. Think of it like a pressure release valve for steam. The only way for him to explode is if the Scale Rust shreds his body too much that it begins to mix with breaks the adrenaline and that opens up his blood vessels further and allows more blood to stack and develop a high kinetic energy that it breaks the Limiter and the Forge Disk, and with that OOC (out of commission), his body can't handle the build up and it just gives way and kaboom." Aster told Aestus, lifting them up and onto the side of the bed. "You're good to go. Don't get up or walk around to fast please. It's going to take bit before all the medicine and things like that to processes, so take it east please. And Caligo, stop complaining. You're lucky to even be alive by Arithnia's standards. It doesn't matter if you can't die, you still would die under my watch, which, considering what I've done in the past, isn't good."
Offline
(Caligo didn’t speak? he is very busy inspecting the bear wondering why it look so off)
"Thanks." Aestus said while getting up, "I guess, wanting to make sure you patient don’t die, even if they technically can’t, is a sign of a good doctor" they reluctantly said, walking over to Caligo’s side "gasp, angel!" Caligo exclaimed seeing Aestus, who chuckled in response, "how long will they be like this again?" Aestus asked Aster.
(Idk where this rp is going anymore, but I will make cute moments of these two if I can!)
Offline
(You'll be meeting Crimson next and you'll be on a small tour around Arithnia and meet the High Council. Summing it up, we're diving into the lore now. So uh, you'll have to be patient, the lore us quite a bit to type.)
"Another hour." Aster said, taking off a blood pressure cuff from Caligo. "Once you two are set, were going to the Firing Chamber and getting Crimson." he said.
(Oops, I didn't mean to tell that to Caligo . I guess I was thinking faster than I was typing.)
Offline
(That’s fair, I also type fast, but I also, leave the text every minute to check stuff before coming back to finish, sometime I finish and forget to post, very sorry for all the time it happened)
"at least they aren’t hyperactive, that would have been bad" Aestus sigh, Caligo was practically looking at them with heart eyes and it make her feel all soft inside, like his core was melting, but in a good way.
"…Crimson wont’ try to attack us again, will he?" Aestus knew logically, it was probably a no, but can you blame them? The last time they saw him he tried to kill everyone in the room.
(he sighs a lot today what am I doing)
Offline
(Bahaha, that's fine. I've done it a few times myself.)
"No. He's fine now. I just..." Aster pauses for a minute and zones out. "We're fine, don't worry." he said .
Offline
"…if you say so" Aestus said, placing a hand softly on Caligo’s head.

"Leonidas, if you're around, could you take them to the Firing Chamber? Have them meet with everyone and please introduce our guest too. And for Crimsons sake, don't distract Flare." Aster said, seemingly into the empty air.
"Will you two be able to walk straight...or at least one of you?" Leonidas said, appearing rather suddenly face to face with Aestus.
Offline
Aestus startled seeing Leonids appear, they understand why Caligo was freaked out now, or maybe they just aren’t used to seeing thing "I can carry them" Aestus responded, and picked Cal up ready to follow Leon to where this firing chamber is.
(I imagine that since Leon is technically a ghost, that when he disappear he go through wall, but Aetsus could still feel him, so Aestus thought he just phased through walls while still visible)
Offline
"8 foot tall hunk of meat, yeah, carry the small guy like a backpack. Seesh, you are animals." Leonidas said to himself.
The walk was rather uninteresting, if anything it was weird, many twists and turns to unfamiliar rooms and hallways had you rather confused. Leonidas was humming something, it was the same lullaby you had heard. He eventually stopped before a cute little wooden door and opened it. "Ladies and sleeping children first." he joked.
Offline
(Fucking laughing cause I imagined Aetsus carrying him in their arms, with their head on their shoulder of course too romantic otherwise)
Aestus was a little ticked off, but recovered quickly "well if you insist, ladies first." They joked back, gesture for Leon to enter first.
Offline
(That is hands down the funniest and cutest thing I can think of. Props for making my day)
"Holy shit, you fucking destroyed him!" Agni called from inside the room. Leonidas stood motionless and jaw on the floor. "I hate you." he said and walked in. The room wasn't anything notable. No decorations aside from a large one-way window opposite of the door.
Offline
(Glad to help! I like imagining what strange way Caligo is when clinging/ being Carried by Aestus, it’s usually a hand-free piggyback ride, since their wings sit lower on their back they aren’t in the way)
Well that’s rude, Leo is the one who started this why is Aestus the mean one. They entered the room soon after regardless, greeting Agni with a smile.
Offline
"Hey, nice to see ya again." Infinity said. Agni gave a little salute and Leonidas rolled his eyes and closed the door. Fang and another woman, the one from weeks ago, back when you fought Crimson was standing next to her. "Oh, hey guys." Fang said. "This is Shard, she's the woman who saved us. Local Blacksmith and.." Shard put her hand on Fangs shoulder and turned to face them. Her purple eyes shone all so slightly at the sight of Aestes and Caligo. From what you could tell, her hair was long and silky, perhaps a black color and tied into a cute pony tail. You couldn't quite make up what her clothes were like or her face because of how dark the room is, but you could easily tell she was quite friendly. "Howdy and hello, nice to meetcha two. Is the sleepy one Caligo? Cool. I'm still workin' away at his little project. You must be Aestus!" she said and grabbed Aestus' hand and shook it. "Check out the glass. You've gotta see this!"
Offline
"Oh um, nice to meet you." Aestus was caught off guard by how friendly she was, compared to how cold she seemed back underground, she remind them of Caligo back when they were only a few centuries old.
They approached the glass curious as to what got everyone’s attention.
Offline
"You'll see what a true Kyng can do. Flare and he are going to spar. It's quite a spectacle." Shard explained, her purple eyes reflected in the glass.
True to her words. The chamber was large, circular, covered in soot and ash on the ground. It's dull red walls were scorched and in the center of it was Flare, dressed in his usual attire and another man, Crimson, in nothing more than...wait...is he...naked? Now that you look more at Flare, he has his face in his hands. "GOD DAMN IT COR! PUT YOUR PANTS ON!" he roared. Crimson shook his head. "But I gotta streak-free shine!"
Fang began to bash her head on the glass. "Oh my god...I am so sorry."
Offline
(XD ok you made my night, this is hilarious)
This man seems, very different than the last two time they saw him, more, cheerful? Aestus somewhat regret having vision now. Are humans parts supposed to be on the outside? Focus. "Why is he…where are his clothes?" Aestus turn away, thankful that Cal is not in a position where they can see this spectacle, to ask the closest person.
Offline
In the chamber, you hear...music? Oh no, Crimson is playing Fantasy by Meiko Nakahara and grabs the pants from Flare and puts them on before turning to the glass. This nutjob wasn't wearing anything else besides his mask and the pants. You could see where the Limiter would be, small nerves and a rather large hold there the ball joint of his arm would be were easily visible.
Flare charges at him and tries to trip Crimson, but the Kyng is quick on his feet and jumps up and uses Flare as a foot stool to hop into the air and do a little spin before landing on Flare's head, sending him into the ground.
