“The Townsfolk Whisper Your Name In Hushed Tones, You Know?” @ask-brother-adonis - Tumblr Blog

*Adonis is never in the library this late usually. He had reason to do book counts tonight leaving him alone, till a hushed voice is heard, quiet footsteps.*

Makani, hurry up. Do you want your corporeal form back or not?

*It's difficult to tell what he's saying, who he is or who to*

Adonis perked up

“what in the hells…”

He followed the sound

*Gale tears up holding his hand so so gently as if it'd break*

It's okay.. never.. ever apologise for this.. Please?

Adonis nods, trying to hug Gale with his good arm as best he can

*Adonis is never in the library this late usually. He had reason to do book counts tonight leaving him alone, till a hushed voice is heard, quiet footsteps.*

Makani, hurry up. Do you want your corporeal form back or not?

*It's difficult to tell what he's saying, who he is or who to*

Adonis perked up

“what in the hells…”

He followed the sound

*Chester is walking through the library, a smile on his way through. Knowing what he's doing and how to excuse it all*

Ah, Adonis. Good Evening.

”what are you doing in my library, Chester.”

Adonis stood in his way, stern and annoyed

I just needed a book, Adonis. Why else would I possibly visit a library, hm?

*He remarks walking around Adonis.. Something feels wrong though. Very wrong*

You're welcome to follow me around.

“I think you should be headed back. It’s after hours and I have places to be.”

Adonis doesn’t back down but he does feel sick to his stomach and he can’t place why

Oh I know. But I'll only be a moment Adonis. Just need one book and I'll be gone. Need to meet with a friend.

”I’m not playing these games with you today Chester. Get out of my library.”

Fine you can fetch it for me. I need the dark magic book. I've taken an interest recently..

”no Chester. Our check out system is logged out and I don’t feel like wasting more time finding your book and checking it out. So get your ass out now.”

I'll get it myself, then.

*He mutters pushing into the library and grabbing his book*

I'll be on my way.

Adonis blocks the door

“no. No you won’t. Put that back asshole.”

Why have you such an issue, Adonis. Don't be so difficult

*He hisses*

You wouldn't want to end up missing a limb like little Charlie would you?

“Don’t you fucking threaten me asshole.”

Adonis grabs his pocket knife from his back pocket

“Don’t.”

You think that would do much? Oh you should see what I have if you try anything.

*He has his hand tightly wrapped around his dagger. The same one he's had and used for years, ingrained with red in the wood*

”just put the fucking book down and leave, it’s not that hard to listen to instructions.”

Adonis doesn’t seemed phased, at least he isn’t showing it..

I'll be back with the book tomorrow afternoon.

*He mutters walking away with the dagger now visible.. Definitely more dangerous than the pocket knife*

Makani, come on. We don't have all day.

*Makani isn't there. Not visibly anyway*

”fuck.”

Adonis straightens up, once again blocking the door, pointing the pocket knife at Chester, he doesn’t care if Chester had a worse weapon now that he’s heard Makanis name. He’s acting completely on impulse and adrenaline.

*Chesyer let's out a sound similar to a laugh. Not quite though*

I suggest you move.

“Mm, I don’t think I will.

Adonis stays still

*Chester tilts his head for a moment.. Calculating. He swipes the dagger at his arm. Enough to make him move and have to tend to it.. Not enough yet for permanent damage*

Change your mind yet?

“No. I don’t think I have-“

Adonis is trembling, still pointing his knife at Chester but not moving at all

Sure. We can do this again if you'd rather?

*He's already holding the dagger in readiness again*

Adonis exhales shakily

“just put the book down and leave- please-.”

Let me leave with the book and we have no problems.

“I can’t let you. Just leave!”

Adonis swings his pocket knife in Chester’s direction

*It slashes across his face, chester aimlessly shoving his dagger at Adonis hoping it gets him*

Get out of my way!

”Guh—“

Adonis gets a tiny slash to his upper arm

“I will when you leave the mother fucking book here!”

Fine.

*He snarls taking photos of the pages he needs, throwing the book on the floor*

Move.

”mother fucker don’t damage my books!”

Adonis shoves Chester, moving barely out of the way

Fuck you! Your book is fine.

*Chester barges him out of his way now, getting him again with the dagger. Much deeper into his shoulder this time before walking out to hell knows where*

“Mother fucker—….”

Adonis fumbles with his phone, he’d call Gale but doesn’t want to worry them, he accidentally hit Calynns contact and decides to just let it ring. He brings a hand up to the wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

*Calynn answers on the third ring. He sounds half asleep, setting his glass down to hold the phone properly*

Adonis, it's late. Is everything alright?

”no— no no— my—“

Adonis is grunting, trying to keep pressure on it

“library- Chester stabbed me— fuck—“

Chester?!

*He's sat in an instant.. Definitely awake and quickly pulling his shoes on and grabbing a first aid kit*

I'm on my way. Is there any fabric you can hold against it or in it? Stop the blood

”I— I have my jacket against it— I can’t fuck-! I can’t keep fucking pressure—“

Adonis is on the floor in the library, his back against the wall and his pocket knife right next to him

Are you sat against anything? Try use a wall, chair, desk.. shelves to press it for you I'll be there in a minute. Is Chester gone?

”He— He’s gone I think—“

Adonis’ voice is getting weaker and he can barely keep pressure on the wound even using the wall

“Calynn-“

*He walks in just in time crouching down quickly.. He starts cleaning the wound, tearing any fabric away from it..*

Adonis keep your eyes open okay..

Adonis yelps when Calynn touches the wound, barely realizing it’s even Calynn until he talks. Adonis’ eyes look distant, his hand close to the pocket knife, thankfully Calynn notices before Adonis can get spooked

Adonis.. I'm going to move the knife away okay. Just with my foot so it isn't in the way-

*He whispers quickly putting gauze into the wound, after cleaning*

I'll let you come back to properly for now but we need to go to the infirmary..

Adonis tries to fight him putting the gauze into the wound but he’s way to weak.

“I don’t— I don’t wanna—“

You have to, you need stitches. It'll never heal up otherwise.

*He holds Adonis still so he isn't pushed when trying to help*

Calm down.. You're safe.

Adonis is shaking a lot, shaking common signs of shock and he’s panicking

Adonis.. You're alright I promise.. Its just us two, I've got you.. We are in the library and it's almost 11pm. We're going to get you checked out in the infirmary in a moment.. Are you cold?

*He's already taking off his fleece for him*

”mm-mmhm—

Adonis is clinging to Calynn now, one of his hands has a much weaker grip on Calynn

*He waits a couple minutes longer before continuing and taking Adonis to the infirmary. Ezra is in today.*

He's been stabbed in the library about 20 minutes ago. I put gauze to slow the bleed but he needs stitches and checking out for nerve damage-- Get Omega to call Gale and explain calmly

*He adds at the end so Adonis doesn't hear*

Adonis is still clinging with his good hand

“okay- okay let me grab my stuff, think you can keep him calm and in one place-?”

Ez grabs his stuff, gently taking Calynns gauze from the wounds and rinsing it again

*Calynn nods already moving to keep Adonis still but calm as possible.. Quietly asking questions about what he knows his favourite book is as a distraction*

”deep breaths…”

Ezra gets everything cleaned out and rebandaged

“okay…it’s deep…I’m going to get IV fluids to help manage any pain..”

“there might be nerve damage that affect mobility but…well think about that later..”

Adonis still seems like he’s in slight shock

*Calynn nods slowly taking in all the information he was given*

Get that all sorted and have someone call Gale soon. They need to know this too..

”I’ll give em a quick call-..”

Ezra walks over to his in office phone, calling Gale and giving her allll the info

—

Adonis is starting to pick at the tape holding his iv in place

"What..?"

*She whispers her voice cracking over the phone and then the sound of her getting up and grabbing her cane unsteadily*

I'll come now--

---

*Calynn holds his hand still*

You need that tape on..

”alright, just be careful please”

Ezra sets down the phone.

Adonis huffs

“I don’t wanna…”

It's helping with the pain, Adonis..

*Calynn moves his hand away from the tape, smoothing it back over*

*Gale is in a state when Ezra sees them, in alot of pain clearly.. She must've gotten up and walked far too quick for what she can handle*

Ezra meets Gale at the door

“oh Gale…here— there’s a chair next to Adonis’ bed you can sit in…Eh..Adonis doesn’t know that you’re here…”

O-oh does- does he want me here i-

*They don't know what to do at all in this situation..*

”I don’t know but…but I think he needs you…”

Adonis whined, not noticing and only looking to Calynn

*Gale nods and tries.. freshening up a bit.. Looking okay. They wipe their eyes and nose*

Alright..

*She walks in and sits beside him on the chair*

Adonis... Hi love..

Adonis seems a little spooked that Gale is actually there and gives an anxious glance to Calynn

“Gale-…I’m sorry-“

Adonis starts tearing up

*Adonis is never in the library this late usually. He had reason to do book counts tonight leaving him alone, till a hushed voice is heard, quiet footsteps.*

Makani, hurry up. Do you want your corporeal form back or not?

Are you sat against anything? Try use a wall, chair, desk.. shelves to press it for you I'll be there in a minute. Is Chester gone?

”He— He’s gone I think—“

Adonis’ voice is getting weaker and he can barely keep pressure on the wound even using the wall

“Calynn-“

*He walks in just in time crouching down quickly.. He starts cleaning the wound, tearing any fabric away from it..*

Adonis keep your eyes open okay..

Adonis.. I'm going to move the knife away okay. Just with my foot so it isn't in the way-

*He whispers quickly putting gauze into the wound, after cleaning*

I'll let you come back to properly for now but we need to go to the infirmary..

Adonis tries to fight him putting the gauze into the wound but he’s way to weak.

“I don’t— I don’t wanna—“

You have to, you need stitches. It'll never heal up otherwise.

*He holds Adonis still so he isn't pushed when trying to help*

Calm down.. You're safe.

Adonis is shaking a lot, shaking common signs of shock and he’s panicking

Adonis.. You're alright I promise.. Its just us two, I've got you.. We are in the library and it's almost 11pm. We're going to get you checked out in the infirmary in a moment.. Are you cold?

*He's already taking off his fleece for him*

”mm-mmhm—

Adonis is clinging to Calynn now, one of his hands has a much weaker grip on Calynn

*He waits a couple minutes longer before continuing and taking Adonis to the infirmary. Ezra is in today.*

He's been stabbed in the library about 20 minutes ago. I put gauze to slow the bleed but he needs stitches and checking out for nerve damage-- Get Omega to call Gale and explain calmly

*He adds at the end so Adonis doesn't hear*

Adonis is still clinging with his good hand

“okay- okay let me grab my stuff, think you can keep him calm and in one place-?”

Ez grabs his stuff, gently taking Calynns gauze from the wounds and rinsing it again

*Calynn nods already moving to keep Adonis still but calm as possible.. Quietly asking questions about what he knows his favourite book is as a distraction*

”deep breaths…”

Ezra gets everything cleaned out and rebandaged

“okay…it’s deep…I’m going to get IV fluids to help manage any pain..”

“there might be nerve damage that affect mobility but…well think about that later..”

Adonis still seems like he’s in slight shock

*Calynn nods slowly taking in all the information he was given*

Get that all sorted and have someone call Gale soon. They need to know this too..

”I’ll give em a quick call-..”

Ezra walks over to his in office phone, calling Gale and giving her allll the info

—

Adonis is starting to pick at the tape holding his iv in place

"What..?"

*She whispers her voice cracking over the phone and then the sound of her getting up and grabbing her cane unsteadily*

I'll come now--

---

*Calynn holds his hand still*

You need that tape on..

”alright, just be careful please”

Ezra sets down the phone.

Adonis huffs

“I don’t wanna…”

*Adonis is never in the library this late usually. He had reason to do book counts tonight leaving him alone, till a hushed voice is heard, quiet footsteps.*

Makani, hurry up. Do you want your corporeal form back or not?

*It's difficult to tell what he's saying, who he is or who to*

Adonis perked up

“what in the hells…”

He followed the sound

*Chester is walking through the library, a smile on his way through. Knowing what he's doing and how to excuse it all*

Ah, Adonis. Good Evening.

”what are you doing in my library, Chester.”

Adonis stood in his way, stern and annoyed

I just needed a book, Adonis. Why else would I possibly visit a library, hm?

*He remarks walking around Adonis.. Something feels wrong though. Very wrong*

You're welcome to follow me around.

“I think you should be headed back. It’s after hours and I have places to be.”

Adonis doesn’t back down but he does feel sick to his stomach and he can’t place why

Oh I know. But I'll only be a moment Adonis. Just need one book and I'll be gone. Need to meet with a friend.

”I’m not playing these games with you today Chester. Get out of my library.”

Fine you can fetch it for me. I need the dark magic book. I've taken an interest recently..

”no Chester. Our check out system is logged out and I don’t feel like wasting more time finding your book and checking it out. So get your ass out now.”

I'll get it myself, then.

*He mutters pushing into the library and grabbing his book*

I'll be on my way.

Adonis blocks the door

“no. No you won’t. Put that back asshole.”

Why have you such an issue, Adonis. Don't be so difficult

*He hisses*

You wouldn't want to end up missing a limb like little Charlie would you?

“Don’t you fucking threaten me asshole.”

Adonis grabs his pocket knife from his back pocket

“Don’t.”

You think that would do much? Oh you should see what I have if you try anything.

*He has his hand tightly wrapped around his dagger. The same one he's had and used for years, ingrained with red in the wood*

”just put the fucking book down and leave, it’s not that hard to listen to instructions.”

Adonis doesn’t seemed phased, at least he isn’t showing it..

I'll be back with the book tomorrow afternoon.

*He mutters walking away with the dagger now visible.. Definitely more dangerous than the pocket knife*

Makani, come on. We don't have all day.

*Makani isn't there. Not visibly anyway*

”fuck.”

*Chesyer let's out a sound similar to a laugh. Not quite though*

I suggest you move.

“Mm, I don’t think I will.

Adonis stays still

*Chester tilts his head for a moment.. Calculating. He swipes the dagger at his arm. Enough to make him move and have to tend to it.. Not enough yet for permanent damage*

Change your mind yet?

“No. I don’t think I have-“

Adonis is trembling, still pointing his knife at Chester but not moving at all

Sure. We can do this again if you'd rather?

*He's already holding the dagger in readiness again*

Adonis exhales shakily

“just put the book down and leave- please-.”

Let me leave with the book and we have no problems.

“I can’t let you. Just leave!”

Adonis swings his pocket knife in Chester’s direction

*It slashes across his face, chester aimlessly shoving his dagger at Adonis hoping it gets him*

Get out of my way!

”Guh—“

Adonis gets a tiny slash to his upper arm

“I will when you leave the mother fucking book here!”

Fine.

*He snarls taking photos of the pages he needs, throwing the book on the floor*

Move.

”mother fucker don’t damage my books!”

Adonis shoves Chester, moving barely out of the way

Fuck you! Your book is fine.

*Chester barges him out of his way now, getting him again with the dagger. Much deeper into his shoulder this time before walking out to hell knows where*

“Mother fucker—….”

*Calynn answers on the third ring. He sounds half asleep, setting his glass down to hold the phone properly*

Adonis, it's late. Is everything alright?

”no— no no— my—“

Adonis is grunting, trying to keep pressure on it

“library- Chester stabbed me— fuck—“

Chester?!

*He's sat in an instant.. Definitely awake and quickly pulling his shoes on and grabbing a first aid kit*

I'm on my way. Is there any fabric you can hold against it or in it? Stop the blood

”I— I have my jacket against it— I can’t fuck-! I can’t keep fucking pressure—“

Adonis is on the floor in the library, his back against the wall and his pocket knife right next to him

Are you sat against anything? Try use a wall, chair, desk.. shelves to press it for you I'll be there in a minute. Is Chester gone?

You're welcome to follow me around.

“I think you should be headed back. It’s after hours and I have places to be.”

Adonis doesn’t back down but he does feel sick to his stomach and he can’t place why

Oh I know. But I'll only be a moment Adonis. Just need one book and I'll be gone. Need to meet with a friend.

”I’m not playing these games with you today Chester. Get out of my library.”

Fine you can fetch it for me. I need the dark magic book. I've taken an interest recently..

”no Chester. Our check out system is logged out and I don’t feel like wasting more time finding your book and checking it out. So get your ass out now.”

I'll get it myself, then.

*He mutters pushing into the library and grabbing his book*

I'll be on my way.

Adonis blocks the door

“no. No you won’t. Put that back asshole.”

Why have you such an issue, Adonis. Don't be so difficult

*He hisses*

You wouldn't want to end up missing a limb like little Charlie would you?

“Don’t you fucking threaten me asshole.”

Adonis grabs his pocket knife from his back pocket

“Don’t.”

You think that would do much? Oh you should see what I have if you try anything.

*He has his hand tightly wrapped around his dagger. The same one he's had and used for years, ingrained with red in the wood*

”just put the fucking book down and leave, it’s not that hard to listen to instructions.”

Adonis doesn’t seemed phased, at least he isn’t showing it..

I'll be back with the book tomorrow afternoon.

*He mutters walking away with the dagger now visible.. Definitely more dangerous than the pocket knife*

Makani, come on. We don't have all day.

*Makani isn't there. Not visibly anyway*

”fuck.”

*Chesyer let's out a sound similar to a laugh. Not quite though*

I suggest you move.

“Mm, I don’t think I will.

Adonis stays still

*Chester tilts his head for a moment.. Calculating. He swipes the dagger at his arm. Enough to make him move and have to tend to it.. Not enough yet for permanent damage*

Change your mind yet?

“No. I don’t think I have-“

Adonis is trembling, still pointing his knife at Chester but not moving at all

Sure. We can do this again if you'd rather?

*He's already holding the dagger in readiness again*

Adonis exhales shakily

“just put the book down and leave- please-.”

Let me leave with the book and we have no problems.

“I can’t let you. Just leave!”

Adonis swings his pocket knife in Chester’s direction

*It slashes across his face, chester aimlessly shoving his dagger at Adonis hoping it gets him*

Get out of my way!

”Guh—“

Adonis gets a tiny slash to his upper arm

“I will when you leave the mother fucking book here!”

Fine.

*He snarls taking photos of the pages he needs, throwing the book on the floor*

Move.

”mother fucker don’t damage my books!”

Adonis shoves Chester, moving barely out of the way

Fuck you! Your book is fine.

*Chester barges him out of his way now, getting him again with the dagger. Much deeper into his shoulder this time before walking out to hell knows where*

“Mother fucker—….”

*Calynn answers on the third ring. He sounds half asleep, setting his glass down to hold the phone properly*

Adonis, it's late. Is everything alright?

”no— no no— my—“

Adonis is grunting, trying to keep pressure on it

“library- Chester stabbed me— fuck—“

Chester?!

*He's sat in an instant.. Definitely awake and quickly pulling his shoes on and grabbing a first aid kit*

I'm on my way. Is there any fabric you can hold against it or in it? Stop the blood

”I— I have my jacket against it— I can’t fuck-! I can’t keep fucking pressure—“

Adonis is on the floor in the library, his back against the wall and his pocket knife right next to him

Are you sat against anything? Try use a wall, chair, desk.. shelves to press it for you I'll be there in a minute. Is Chester gone?

”He— He’s gone I think—“

Adonis’ voice is getting weaker and he can barely keep pressure on the wound even using the wall

“Calynn-“

*He walks in just in time crouching down quickly.. He starts cleaning the wound, tearing any fabric away from it..*

Adonis keep your eyes open okay..

Adonis.. I'm going to move the knife away okay. Just with my foot so it isn't in the way-

*He whispers quickly putting gauze into the wound, after cleaning*

I'll let you come back to properly for now but we need to go to the infirmary..

Adonis tries to fight him putting the gauze into the wound but he’s way to weak.

“I don’t— I don’t wanna—“

You have to, you need stitches. It'll never heal up otherwise.

*He holds Adonis still so he isn't pushed when trying to help*

Calm down.. You're safe.

Adonis is shaking a lot, shaking common signs of shock and he’s panicking

*Adonis is never in the library this late usually. He had reason to do book counts tonight leaving him alone, till a hushed voice is heard, quiet footsteps.*

Makani, hurry up. Do you want your corporeal form back or not?

*It's difficult to tell what he's saying, who he is or who to*

Adonis perked up

“what in the hells…”

He followed the sound

*Chester is walking through the library, a smile on his way through. Knowing what he's doing and how to excuse it all*

Ah, Adonis. Good Evening.

”what are you doing in my library, Chester.”

Adonis stood in his way, stern and annoyed

I just needed a book, Adonis. Why else would I possibly visit a library, hm?

*He remarks walking around Adonis.. Something feels wrong though. Very wrong*

You're welcome to follow me around.

Adonis blocks the door

“no. No you won’t. Put that back asshole.”

Why have you such an issue, Adonis. Don't be so difficult

*He hisses*

You wouldn't want to end up missing a limb like little Charlie would you?

“Don’t you fucking threaten me asshole.”

Adonis grabs his pocket knife from his back pocket

“Don’t.”

You think that would do much? Oh you should see what I have if you try anything.

*He has his hand tightly wrapped around his dagger. The same one he's had and used for years, ingrained with red in the wood*

”just put the fucking book down and leave, it’s not that hard to listen to instructions.”

Adonis doesn’t seemed phased, at least he isn’t showing it..

I'll be back with the book tomorrow afternoon.

*He mutters walking away with the dagger now visible.. Definitely more dangerous than the pocket knife*

Makani, come on. We don't have all day.

*Makani isn't there. Not visibly anyway*

”fuck.”

*Chesyer let's out a sound similar to a laugh. Not quite though*

I suggest you move.

“Mm, I don’t think I will.

Adonis stays still

*Chester tilts his head for a moment.. Calculating. He swipes the dagger at his arm. Enough to make him move and have to tend to it.. Not enough yet for permanent damage*

Change your mind yet?

“No. I don’t think I have-“

Adonis is trembling, still pointing his knife at Chester but not moving at all

Sure. We can do this again if you'd rather?

*He's already holding the dagger in readiness again*

Adonis exhales shakily

“just put the book down and leave- please-.”

Let me leave with the book and we have no problems.

“I can’t let you. Just leave!”

Adonis swings his pocket knife in Chester’s direction

*It slashes across his face, chester aimlessly shoving his dagger at Adonis hoping it gets him*

Get out of my way!

”Guh—“

Adonis gets a tiny slash to his upper arm

“I will when you leave the mother fucking book here!”

Fine.

*He snarls taking photos of the pages he needs, throwing the book on the floor*

Move.

”mother fucker don’t damage my books!”

Adonis shoves Chester, moving barely out of the way

Fuck you! Your book is fine.

*Chester barges him out of his way now, getting him again with the dagger. Much deeper into his shoulder this time before walking out to hell knows where*
