❛[ ☣ THE SPECIMEN ≻ INQUIRES: Bloody Bloody Asks // ACCEPTING
Notes: 12. my muse helping your muse clean blood off of them.
The Island was alive- beyond trees, fauna & flora, beyond alien artifacts and pulsating veins of seething energy, it was alive // A THOUGHT COMING TO MIND MORE THAN ONCE. Tech whirred to collect what had fallen, but what consumed particles? (FLICKERING CRIMSON FROM A GUNSHOT ABSENT // GASHES FROM A METALLIC TOOTH BARE). The Agent had tempted vermillion to the surface before-- - all it took was a little digging past what was exposed to open air.
So seeing ruby sparkling amidst the glints of gold was- hm, shocking? NO, CHAOS WOULDN’T EXACTLY CALL IT THAT. Curious? Odd? - ah, FASCINATING! (AS IF THAT WORD NEEDED TO BE FOUND / ESPECIALLY WHEN UNSPOKEN). To say the masked one had not been paying attention until now was an understatement. Chemical slurry that likely at one point was something else had been where ivory lenses had fixated at first-- - but attention betrayed its focus now.
The white cloth plucked betwixt contrasted gloves displayed enough of what could be called his ODD INTENT // even more so when it was ran across another’s forearm as free hand held Midas’ elbow. The gazeless did not display whether focus was upon the other or the area specifically (NO TWITCH UP OF MASKED FACADE // BUT THAT TOLD SO LITTLE WHEN GAZE WAS NOT BASED TO OPTICAL ORGANS). Finally, voice filled silence-- - or perhaps he had just not noticed anything else said, but regardless. “I’m assuming this isn’t yours.”
While the assumption was not considered baseless, what with no clear evidence of injury and the individual involved, HE KNEW BEING INCORRECT WAS IMPOSSIBLE (CHAOS WAS NOT ABOUT TO REALLY SEARCH FOR A WOUND, AFTER ALL). Soon enough the once white surface of fabric was tainted red, and finally his head canted ever so slightly. “However I am all ears for source.” It was clear as he got up and moved towards a work bench, SLIPPING THE BLOODIED RAG INTO A JAR, that concern wasn’t a factor here (OR IF IT WAS, IT WAS MINIMIAL). This was the scientist trying to simply taking opportunities when they were seen. “And also all for anything that isn’t of use anymore cause of staining- as hard as it is to get this without it disappearing into nothing, I’m all for my options of course!” And there it was-- - a laugh lifting into the air.
