Drip Drip Drip
The blue liquid spills down the drain as the shower head just keeps throwing more and more unsalted water, both combining in a macabre spiral of liquids,
8 had gone shopping in what must have been 10 or 15 minutes ago, although if you would have asked the bleeding squid, she wouldn't really know, seconds had started passing like fast cars or a ink shot through a salmonid skull months ago after the whole Memverse fiasco, they told her she needed to take a rest or something like that, but 4 months without missions was the closest she ever had to relive the day she got her stomach scars, at least mentally but grizzco max hazard round could help her with that, matter fact, salmonid fangs were far sharper than ocling knifes and shots... yet i have to admit that my mind is even sharper, just scaping my head and making me think in 3rd person like it was armed with a sword called procastination.
"I should Bandage myself up"
Found it funny, although the words that were coming out of my mouth spilled like water, they felt more like fine sand, maybe my mind just decided to take a break and relax out of my cranium cause this body doesn't feel right, it feels empty, a shell that doesn't feels right anymore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think i might have becomed acostumed to bandages, they feel quite natural now, might be because my wrist are quite numb, guees i've been doing a lot of P̵u̴s̴h̶ ̷u̷p̸s̸ lately.
Thinking a little bit about itthey do look like a new pair of fresh wristbands, halloween themed ones.
"Don't overstimate a golden squid!!!"
Cod fucking dammit too noisy, too cringy, i hate it, still i do look quite fresh, new toni kensa collection but with the good ol' bootleg deep blue, still i guees i should get out of the bathroom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The living room welcomes me again as it's revolutionary leader who once decades ago fought on the cushions war were the Fourtarian and eightarians forces fought fearlessly and.... codammit i lost the plot again, what was i doing here? my mind is really taking long to come back to his workplace
A DOOR OPENS
"Hey four!, just came back how are you...oh my cod"
I hear something fall to the ground as some rolling object continues the sound explosion, must have been the bag of groceries and a squid fin lemon, as i look back i see both of her hand covering her mouth, oh my cod she's... Impressed by my astounding and f̸r̵e̶s̵h̶ looks
"oh... Hi eight!, how did groceries go?, i see you like my new fit, i found my old halloween wristbands and wanted to use them again, you know, the good ol' bootleg toni kensas"
"Ehh. fine, they went good, but your wrist, they are bleeding"
What?, did i hear well?
"What did you say?"
"Four, YOU ARE BLEEDING ASTOUNDING"
Ah there it is
"Ow, thanks eight"
"Four im being serious you are bleeding, a lot in fact, I̷n̶c̸r̶e̴d̴i̸b̶l̷y̴ ̷a̶s̴t̷o̷u̸n̸d̷i̵n̷g̵ ̴t̸o̸d̶a̴y̴,̸ ̵r̶e̶a̷l̶l̶y̶ ̶t̶h̵e̵ ̶t̸o̴p̶ ̷o̵f̴ ̸t̷h̷e̶ ̴g̵a̸m̸e̸
That's what she said while getting closer to me with that impressed face, is he going to give me a hug?, that would be great, but im pretty sleepy at the moment, her lips move yet i cannot make sense of the movement, for some reason she also gets out of my sight as the roof becomes the new thing that surrounds my vision.
"FO..."

8 had gone shopping in what must have been 10 or 15 minutes ago, although if you would have asked the squid, she wouldn't really know, seconds had started passing like fast cars or a ink shot through a salmonid skull months ago, she has just found her old wristbands, marked with blue colorant during halloween, to give the impression of blood behind the wristbands.
"Damned colorants, always so difficult to remove"
my voice was quite raspy, yesterday i screamed a lot during my grizzco shift, still managed to kill a king salmonid, so it was a nice shift, although the words really felt like sand, i should go to the living room.
"Don't overstimate a golden squid!!!"
Cod fucking dammit too noisy, too cringy, i hate it, still i do look quite fresh, my good old wristband full of colorants, still i guees i should get out of the bathroom.

A DOOR OPENS
White light fills out the room as the door opens, and as the door is fully open, only thing i can do is squint my eyes.

"She lost a lot of blood, it's a miracle she's alive, she'll probably be out in a week, but she also had lots of scars in her body" The doctor said.
"Thanks doc" 8 has seen better days, she found her roomate having another psychotic episode, but luckily she managed both to call the NSS and the paramedics on time."So what do we do?" the newest member of the platoon asked with a worried tone, the room filled with silence as just two pairs of eyes looked at the captain of the squad.
"....i ..... i don't really know" the veteran squid said, "after the memverse thing her mental state has just gone on decline, marina is working on it but..."
"But what?", marie cut three words as she stood up "she's been working on that for three months and there has been no results, in that time her tentacles turned black and her eyes red, shes killing herself and we cannot get her to take a damned break what do you..." she stops as a hug embraces her.
"Marie please..." her cousin whispers behind her back "... we can't do anything right now" Maries legs gave in and she just crumbles, "Coddamit..." her hand supporting both halfs of her head "...why did this happen" a small cry escapes from her as the rest of the group just stared at the scene.
