Thread: Split Ends: Start-Up

"Injury. Now, quicken your pace. We have to get as far away from that place as possible."

"Uh, okay," The Scorpion Queen replied, obediently speeding up. "Although if they decide to chase us, it won't really matter. They've got to know we're gone by now..."

"Macejso es adaki okat otsen esol... Ot ejin ondogu mavarejvu,*" Kris complained, "Ot ej oaker, ot ej ontajorejv atsin.**"

*I feel ever so slightly ill. It isn't pleasant, I assure you.
**That said, it's probably nothing.

"They already know, though. I'm surprised we've made it this far." Rina was about 10 feet, 1 meter, and a hair ahead of the others.

"Uh, miss?" Mia spoke up from behind Kris, "What kind of illness?"

I know not of your world's illnesses, Kris told Mia, What are your names, anyway? It has occurred to me that we ought to know each other's names, at the very least.

I'm Mia. My big sis is Rina. Uh, I don't remember anyone's name, if I was told it.

It's nice to meet you. My name is Naciv'dusu, though I find the name 'Kris' more fitting for some reason, so I will go by that.

Not understanding that there was a telepathic conversation going on, Scorpion heard only silence after the question. "Yeah... what kind of illness? You still look capable of speaking."

"En manz. Ovarpu mas ot oaker.*"

*I do not know. I just said this.

"You did? Have I got amnesia, or did nobody else hear her say that...?"

"Etjomen im icer ad mav ejatsoden ujihtapelet?*"

*Don't tell me you lack telepathy?

"Telepathy? I'm a cat-person. Of course I'm not telepathic. Is that why everyone went silent a second ago? Is everyone telepathic but me?"

"Otico en... Urf...*" Kris looked like she'd just smashed through a barn. "Anincum ej ejnasrogop...**"

*Apparently not... Urf...
**The nausea is worsening...

"Um... guys? Does anyone know any healing moves or something?"

Then suddenly, Kris fell into a coughing fit. She coughed and coughed until she threw up. "I-iv itacarvop zi hisav atsu?!*" Kris wiped her mouth, "Idujl us ontarvdo!**" She began coughing again.

*Y-you vomit from your mouths?!
**Humans are disgusting!
