Who: Emori (emori) & Clarke (romancekiller) & Murphy (mofi)
What: QUEST! Hinit to Win It.
When: TBD
Where: Olympia
Warning(s): tbd



[Emori had been hanging around the clinic. She wasn't a hypochondriac, but she felt weird. She wondered if the pollen from the forest would stay behind. Would make her think differently. Emori had never drank or done drugs before, so this new feeling was kind of scary.

She was told by Lysa that they needed the poison glands of a creature called a Hinit. Emori immediately went to get Murphy and Clarke.

Emori was given a huge knife. With this knife, she was able to skewer several of the lizards at once.]

Clarke, do you got a second? I got a few to de-gland. John, please don't get bit.

[ Murphy has a soft spot for Lysa, her clinic and her patients. That's why it doesn't take much convincing to hunt down a few Hinit lizards.

He's already mistaken common lizards for the Hinit. It takes him a few tries but knows how to get them to fan out their brightly-colored crests and the lizards that don't raise onto their hind legs get ignored for the most part. Right now, Murphy has one scuttling up and down his arm. Look, he made a new friend! ]

I'm not going to get bit. [ He says and rolls his eyes for good measure. All Murphy has managed to do is taunt them. Emori subdues them with that ridiculous knife. He hunches over her, peering down at her handy work. ]

How many do we have so far?

[romancekiller]

[clarke is actually a bit wary of lysa mostly due to certain incidents but she goes along with doing this quest anyway partially because getting the hinit glands was going to help people and the other half being that she wanted to ensure her friends didn't get hurt either as they hunt for the creatures in question] We have a couple so far but yeah, we have to careful—

Yeah. [she turns to look at emori, watching her get to work on de-glanding the hinit] You need me to help with the others?

[emori]

You're going to get bit. Get that thing off of you, or let me stab it so we can eat it.

[Emori turns to Clarke, still holding the skewer of hinits.]

Yeah, I can do these two if you do the others.

[She sits on a particularly large rock and goes about gently pulling the glands out of the hinit's little folds.]

I know why John's here, but why are you, Clarke?

[When she says Murphy's name, she shoots him a weird look. Partially annoyed and partially fond.]

[mofi]

Calm down, killer. This one is just a regular, run of the mill, lizard. [ Murphy is quick to assure her. ] The poor guy probably lost his family to these Hinits.

[ Murphy sits down a little away from them, on a big and cold rock. He wasn't doing anything other than keeping them company so he'd just stay out of the way. ]

Maybe she thinks we need a babysitter?

[romancekiller]

Yeah, I can do that— [clarke moves to take the others from emori though when she hears the question, she is a bit puzzled by her question because why wouldn't she be here? murphy isn't too far off with his assumption either for joining them on this quest] I'm here so the two of you don't get poisoned— I figured my abilities would help if that did happen.

[emori]

Oh right. Hey, I don't mind getting poisoned if it means getting to see your powers.

[She holds out a couple lizards for Clarke and has a smug little smirk on her face.]
So you're here to babysit us?

[Emori's eyes snap over to John.]

Lizard is pretty tasty.

[mofi]

That's a stupid reason to get poisoned. [ Murphy calls out from behind them, who still hasn't budged from his rocky perch. It's not like they need an extra pair of hands, things already seem a little crowded with Emori and Clarke. He was just out of the way and keeping watch. Making sure a Hinnit lizard didn't sneak up behind them in revenge for skinning their kin. ]

Lizards are in fact tasty, but we're not going to eat my friend. Pick another lizard.

[romancekiller]

[clarke carefully takes the lizard from emori and starts to get to work only to roll her eyes at her wanting to see her power and the fact that she finds herself agreeing with murphy on this] Definitely a stupid reason. I can show you some other time that doesn't involve poison or purposely getting injured.

[mofi]

Oh [ , Murphy lets out a loud whoop which was stupid because it scares most of the lizards away. They scurry into the small cracks that hard to reach into. Inwardly, he hisses. His shoulders pull up and Murphy tenses for a quick moment before his shoulders relax. ]

Shit, I didn't mean to scare them. We have enough already, though, right? [ Murphy at least looks apologetic. ]

jay, you skipped me. IT'S OK THO.

[emori]

[Emori throws her knife down into the soft dirt and it sticks straight up. She's holding a few of the lizard glands in her mitten hand.]

One, I wasn't really going to let myself get stung. Two, goddammit, John.

[She goes over to the small container they're using to transport the glands and deposits the ones she has. She's quiet after that, because she feels everyone is trying to make her look stupid.]

okay order is fixed!

[mofi]

[ Murphy grimaces when Emori has that tone with him. It was his fault that the lizards scattered. ] I forgot what we were doing for a few seconds. It looks like we got enough, though.

[ Murphy puts his hands down, palms press flush against the rock he was sitting on. To Murphy, they collected enough glands to make this endeavor worth all their time. He's about to swing himself to stand up on his feet when... ]

Ah, shit [, he hisses, yanking his hand away. Something had obviously happened in that moment. ] Something bit me.

[ Before he can say anything else, he slowly lowers himself back to the ground. ] Timeout real quick. [ Murphy trying not to sound panicked, but he can't feel his arm. ]

[romancekiller]

[clarke had just finished with de-glanding the ones she had in her hands and before she could even respond or react when one of them bites murphy and she similarly places the glands in the container before she heads quickly over to murphy where he settles down on the ground] Damn it. Yeah, we can take a break.

Hey. You'll be okay— [clarke reaches out to place a hand on his arm] Just try to relax and stay calm so I can heal you like I did before.

[emori]

[Emori is at John's side in a flash, only after taking the glands and putting them in a proper place. She sits on a craggy rock and hangs out near the side Clarke's not on.]

I told you, John! How do you feel?

[She looks to Clarke.] Does it take long to heal?

[mofi]

[ Yes, Emori, he knows you told him. Murphy didn't actually think he was going to get bit.

But here we are, losing the feeling in his hand, the numbness is quickly climbing up his arm. Murphy's is trying his best to keep calm. ]

I'm feeling good. [ That's a bald-faced lie. He feels like he's two seconds away from purging the food he ate before going on this venture. The color in his face washes away, looking sickly as ever. ] Hurry up. I can't feel my arm and it's going to my shoulder.

[romancekiller]

[the last thing clarke wanted was for anyone to get injured but ironically it seems like emori will get a demonstration of her powers now.

she easily notices that he is getting paler by the second and she tries harder to concentrate so he doesn't get worse. he was affected by the bite more internally but even from the slight contact she had on his shoulder she can not only determine what caused it and the symptoms he was feeling but the source of the pain he was experiencing too that was causing him to lose feeling in his arms. she turns towards emori to answer her question before turning her focus back towards murphy] It seems like it was definitely a hinit bite but as for the healing, it'll probably take a few seconds or something depending on the injury but he'll be good as new.

[she moves her hand to take hold of his since that was where he was bitten she would be able to focus her healing there so that he would recover. she closes her eyes to concentrate and by the time she does open them, they will all be witness to murphy being fully recovered from the bite as she starts to pull away]

[emori]

[Emori watches Clarke's hand and John's face. She looks a little panicked. There were times when it was just her and Otan in the desert and a scorpion would bite. She nearly died once because of it, and now she worries that Clarke won't be fast enough. Even though she was sick for a long time with the scorpion.

When John starts to get a little color in his cheeks, she doesn't care if he's uncomfortable or if Clarke's in the way-- she throws her arms around him and her body half way on him.]

John! Don't be so stupid!

[mofi]

A hinit did bite me. [ Murphy nearly growls. ] What the hell else could have bit me?

[ Murphy is agitated and sick. Thankfully Clarke is here with her magic healing hands. It doesn't take too long for him to feel his quick recovery, Clark expelling the toxins out of his body.

He closes his eyes when Emori practically latches herself onto him. ] I wasn't being stupid. The little shit bit me for me sitting on his stupid rock.

[romancekiller]

[from the moment that murphy seems to be recovered, it happens so fast when emori seems to just throw herself at murphy before clarke can manage to step back. she lets out a sigh as she picks herself up and steps further back as she watches the two of them for a moment] Well regardless of how it happened, you're as good as recovered from the bite either way.
