A Wreckless Decision // Ralph and Ariel [DRP: Halloween 2014 Week 2(belated)]
Let's see here...unfamiliar architecture, check. Nobody around to help him, check. An overall sense of dread and uncertainty...yeah, that was a check too. It was official- Ralph was unreasonably lost. It was almost like he wasn't even in the same city anymore! Well, whatever had happened to get him so far away from where he once was, there was no undoing it now. He still had to keep up the search for his friends, if they were even here. Come to think of it, maybe coming into the real world on a hunch wasn't such a great idea...
Unfortunately the constant feeling of unfamiliarity wasn't the only thing hindering him. Ever since he'd embarked on his quest for his companions, Ralph had gradually become to feel ill. His skin had grown clammy, he felt feverish, his body ached, and it overall just became that much more of a burden to try and go anywhere, much less somewhere he didn't even know he was going. The wrecker even found himself groaning every now and then as he plodded along, but he'd then regain control of his tired vocal cords and remain silent.
Now, he'd felt like he'd gone far enough for now. Giving a deep sigh, he leaned down and fell back onto the curb, shaking the ground around him. His rest couldn't last him too long, but it was still important to get enough so he didn't just pass out in the middle of the street. While he sat there he took a moment to inspect his sore left ankle. It wasn't long after he'd left that he noticed the bite that girl left had broken through the skin, so he tore off a strip of his shirt(covered by his overalls)and tied it around the wound. The knot was rather sloppy, but it stayed tight on the ankle.
Still, it only grew to cause Ralph more concern. Whereas the rest of his skin had grown a paler shade of his normal tone, the area around the bandaged wound looked like it was changing color, almost to an eerie grayish-blue or green. Something had probably seeped under and infected his ankle. Great- now he had to find medical attention when everywhere he went was completely abandoned. With luck the foot wouldn't fall off before he got back to Litwak's- maybe Mario still had that degree from when he decided to become a doctor. Modest as the guy was, it still felt like that was intended to show off...
He just wished he'd find Vanellope or Felix soon...he just wished he'd find anyone soon.
