The STRAIGHT-UP DEATH meme
- Pick a character.
- Put their name and subject line in the header.
- Tagging people: RNG or just pick one below. Needless to say, this meme may contain TRIGGERS for death, violence and suicide.
- Posting people: the person who tagged you is now DYING.
- Have fun.
OPTIONS: - Illness: Self-explanatory. You're on your deathbed from a long and drawn-out illness. Time to call someone to your side for comfort, or for a confession...
- I Cannot Self Terminate: Maybe they're horribly injured, or maybe they've been mutated into a horrific monster. Either way, they can't tell anyone that they want to die--though no one doubts it. Will you be the one to take mercy on them?
- Execution: Once again, self-explanatory. You fought the law and the law won. This is probably the last time anyone will see you...or is the other character your executioner?
- Secretly Dying: Letting your friends and family know that you're terminally ill, or have been marked for death, or have a curse placed on you? No way. You'd rather keep them at ease. But all lies exist to be found out...
- And Make You Watch: This person has hurt you in every possible way, but you can't bring yourself to kill them...looks like there's no recourse but to kill yourself. But before you do it, there's just one way you can twist the knife a little...
- Bungled Suicide: You don't want to die, but can't think of any way to live. Fortunately, one of your friends has stumbled in at just the right time...
- Murder: Pretty self-explanatory. One of your characters is trying to kill the other.
- Fatal Accident: Drowned? Caught in a fire? Happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? All accidents and unhappy, untimely ends go here.
- Duel to the Death: You, sir/madam, have been offended in every possible way, and it's time to settle this once and for all.
- Old Age: Well, you've had a good run, haven't you? Somehow you managed to avoid all the other pitfalls your friends have, but everybody has to pay the piper eventually...
- Ghost: You're already dead. But you had some unfinished business to attend to, so you're making just one last visit...
- Other: Make up something or combine two or three!

At least the blood is finally clotting.
"Should" does indeed appear to be the key word. And "should" is far from comforting. But, it's...better. He can see even from here that Helios looks more...normal. As silly an observation as it is, the other man just looks like he's asleep. Apep would never be so still and quiet.
Giles feels like he can hope, at least.]
...he's, um, he's not in pain. That's...s-something.

[ Ra doesn't even give Giles a second to refute that. It's more of a command really. So, yup, there you have it Giles. ]

Needless to say, being there when Helios wakes up? Very important, to his human best friend.
But, Giles only nods. Beyond that, he's too focused on staying upright, and walking. One foot in front of the other...amazing, how hard that can get to be, when the situation is bad enough.
So when he finally reaches the infirmary, he won't stay conscious long, unless the nurses actually make him. But, when he is, Giles will be...quiet, and cooperative. Not saying much unless asked, but not putting up a fight, either. He has a lot to think about, even as he has to focus on recovering. After all, it's when the adrenaline fades that the exhaustion and the trauma truly hit, and you only fully appreciate just how lucky you are to be alive.]
