blinded by the light [closed]

Who: Rin and Yukio, possibly Herbert and Shura later!
When: Day 90
Where: Med tent
What: Rin's eyes have "healed" after Lilith struck him blind, but he still can't see. He has a crazy idea -- and what does he have to lose?
Warnings: **EYE HORROR**!!

Ever since having his Pokémon and sword returned to him by the Ringmaster, Rin had been relying heavily on the Flygon. He had barely walked anywhere since recovering from the prism, instead riding on Nosh's back. He really just wanted her to lead him around, but the dragon insisted. She even let him hold on to her antenna, which she usually found to be quite unpleasant. Kuro was rarely very far, either.

It was a very unsettling feeling. He knew he was holding his hand out, right in front of his face -- but he couldn't see it. He couldn't see anything. At first, while his eyes were healing from the damage Lilith had done, he would occasionally see flashes of light, sparkles. Ghosts of electrical impulses as his brain rewired.

Now, the pain in his eyes was completely gone, along with the small flashes of light. Now there was nothing except pure, infinite darkness. So his demonic healing had "fixed" his eyes. But he still wasn't able to see. His eyes -- these particular eyes -- would never see again.

He could just ask the Ringmaster to fix them, but he wasn't even sure she could! He had one more idea... and what did he have to lose? His vision was already completely gone. It couldn't get any worse.


He carefully slides off of Nosh's back, still holding one of her antenna so she could guide him. She folds her wings tightly and ducks into the tent.

He'd warned Yukio he was coming with a quick radio message, and he'd tied a bandana around his eyes. He can smell the medical tent -- bleach and sanitizers and freshly laundered sheets and the barest hints of blood -- and, to his surprise, he can almost 'sense' his brother. He knows he's nearby. He doesn't quite know how, but he's definitely there.

Regardless, he calls out, sounding more depressed and withdrawn than ever;

"Hey, Yukio. I'm here."

He'd told Yukio he had a plan -- but he hadn't revealed what his plan was. Not yet.

"Nii-san. How are you feeling?" Yukio puts a hand on Rin's shoulder, just to reassure his brother. "Kuro and Nosh are here as well."
reflash: (if a demon possessed me I’d just b like)

"It went very smoothly." Far more smoothly than Yukio expected. He'd anticipated something going completely wrong. "I don't know how long recovery will take, so I want you to come back to the med tent daily so I can keep an eye on it."

Rin's recognition of the joke gets a little relieved breath of laugh from Yukio.

"One of us has to."

"Just don't touch it." The last thing anyone needs is for Rin to shove a finger in there.

"Are you ready to go back to your trailer or would you like to stay here for a while longer?"
