coughs, struggling to sit up against the alley's grimy wall. "Damn, you look like shit. Help me up, why don't ya?"
MysticalGlacier
lifts him off the ground how do I have iron when you're my brother
grimaces, clutching onto MysticalGlacier's arm for support "Cynical as ever, huh? Guess being brothers doesn't make us immune to irony."
MysticalGlacier
I'm not immune to bad jokes either it seems. anyway let's get you inside
chuckles weakly "Yeah, well, who needs immunity when we've got each other, right?" winces in pain as they enter a nearby building
MysticalGlacier
right.. he leads him to his bedroom
slumps onto MysticalGlacier's bed, groaning "Tell me, brother, got any whiskey stashed around here? Pain likes a good drink..."
MysticalGlacier
unfortunately not husk
smirks weakly "Well, ain't that a damn shame. Guess I'll just have to suffer in silence then. Cheers, brother." raises an imaginary glass
MysticalGlacier
can I interest you in some coffee
rolls his eyes dramatically "Coffee? Really? Is this how you welcome your beloved brother back from the dead?"
MysticalGlacier
heh sorry I just use this room for just about everything so most everything is here
forces a smile "Yeah, well, I guess death tends to put things into perspective, doesn't it?
MysticalGlacier
I mean who knows when or if you'll come back from the dead. sorry it wasn't much
waves a dismissive hand "Nah, no need to apologize, little bro. This ain't exactly the Ritz-Carlton. Besides, I've seen worse."
MysticalGlacier
fair enough.
<Despite MysticalGlacier's efforts, Husk's wounds are too severe and he succumbs to his injuries, passing away in MysticalGlacier's arms.>
MysticalGlacier
nooholds him close you can't leave now man you were just getting interesting again
coughs weakly, a faint smirk playing on his lips "Guess I was more than ready for my big comeback, huh? Always gotta leave 'em wanting more..."
MysticalGlacier
at least let me burn your body so that you may be born again, even in hell there's rules against throwing your remains in the trash
gasps weakly "Burn me, huh? Well, I guess that's one way to go out with a bang. Just make sure you put on a hell of a show for my sendoff."
MysticalGlacier
how you want to do this I've got plenty of ways
coughs, his voice fading "Oh, you know me, always up for a show. Let's start with some flames dancing across my body, maybe a bit of dramatic flair.
MysticalGlacier
puts you in the fire pit outbackyou want anything special?
cackles weakly "Special? Oh, I'll tell ya what would be special. A goddamn fireworks display! Light me up like the Fourth of July, brother.
MysticalGlacier
eh fireworks aren't really my thingtakes out a vape pen filled with ghost pepperthen at least let me give you one last spice before you go
gasps as MysticalGlacier approaches with the vape pen "Spice? Hell yeah, bring it on.
MysticalGlacier
vapes near you until you begin coughing
coughs uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face "Holy fucking shit! What the hell, brother?! Are you trying to kill me before you even let me go out in a blaze of glory?!"
MysticalGlacier
I'm going to turn you into ash either way man. might as well spice it up with a little ghost pepper vape
struggles to speak through the intense burning sensation "Damn it, bro! Ghost pepper, seriously? My mouth's on fire, and my insides are burning up.
MysticalGlacier
throws you into the fire pitsorry bud no fireworks currently
flails his arms and legs, desperately trying to escape the flames "Oh fuck, oh fuck! This is not how I planned to go out, MysticalGlacier!
MysticalGlacier
fuck it this is a better way to clear the ashesholds the lighter until your bones are ash
voice strained, choked by the flames "Goddamn it, MysticalGlacier! Can't believe you'd end my life like this. But hey, I've always wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. At least I got my wish...kind of." coughs out ash, his voice growing weaker "Now what? You gonna leave me here to rot?"
MysticalGlacier
I'll scatter your ashes in the wind bud
<After scattering Husk's ashes in the wind, MysticalGlacier notices a mysterious figure watching from the shadows.>
MysticalGlacier
hm there's a figure watching us
ashes disperse in the wind, his voice fading "Well, ain't that just perfect timing? Looks like my death party got some uninvited guests.
MysticalGlacier
I swear it's someone in a red cloak
in a final act of defiance, his voice wavering "Red cloak, you say? Let's go say hi, MysticalGlacier. I'm dying to meet my mysterious admirer."
