Back to reality

Skyler shook his head as he continued to walk away. As he did, his mind went over the reasons of why they would be fine. 'It's two against one. Even if Oliver tried to get out of hand. Betsy and Pauline would make short work of him. Although if it was just Betsy or Pauline, I would have been **** to stay. Luckily, they'll be just fine.' He let out a soft sigh of relief, feeling a bit of tension that had been building up in his ribs, begin to subside. As he continued to walk, his right leg began to wobble. Although this wouldn't have been a problem at home. He was outside on uneven terrain, allowing for him to fall toward his right side.

Skyler's right hand moved as quickly as it could to stop his descent, finding the side of a brick mailbox to cling onto, but alas his finger tips weren't enough to completely stop his fall. However, because of the angle and the speed of his fall, his body spun leftward, pointing his back toward the ground. Shortly after his finger tips released, there was a soft thud, followed by a light amount of pain coursing through his spine. - 5 Hp He heard a voice callout to him, but couldn't make out what was said. It wasn't because he was seriously hurt, no. It was because he was too focused on his inability to move.

This wasn't the first time that Skyler had fallen and been unable to move. However, this was the first time he had done so without family nearby. Without thinking, he grumbled. "Great, now I'm immobile." After speaking, he realized this was almost exactly like the last time he had fallen. He was only temporarily immobile. He was certain this was due to his minor back injury and not his Hkpp. Albeit it was his Hkpp, that caused him to fall in the first place. As that thought left his mind, a shadowy figure with long hair stood over him.

After the figure knelt down, Skyler could see that it was Pauline. "Are you okay?" He blinked twice before looking around, still unable to move his body. "Yeah, I just can't move. I'll be okay in a few minutes." She tilted her head while brushing her hair back with her left hand. "Does this happen often?" He glanced to the side, still unable to move his head, before looking to her once again. "No, but from what I can tell it's nothing serious." As he spoke, Betsy walked up. Pauline nodded. "I see. Hmm, I can't imagine laying like that is comfortable. Would you like me to help you sit up or anything?" His eyes glanced to Betsy then back to Pauline. "No, I wouldn't want to inconvenience you."

At that moment, Betsy knelt down and poked Skyler's left cheek. "Hey, you okay?" Pauline moved Betsy's hand away from his cheek. "You shouldn't be poking him. You don't know where he's been." Betsy chuckled before tilting her head. "Maybe, but he looks clean enough." Pauline shook her head. "That's how they all look. They want you to think they are all nice, sweet, and innocent then chomp. They chew you up and spit you out." Betsy looked to him. "Oh? Is he your type then?" Pauline paused before shaking her head. "Anyway, he said he'll be okay in a few minutes. We'll stay here until he can get up."

No sooner was that said then Oliver walked up. "Wow man, even I wouldn't have thought of falling down to get the ladies attention. That's rather low." He kicked Skyler's left side rather hard, sending a jolt of pain through his body. - 15 Hp Skyler let out a groan in pain. A mere second later, Pauline stood up and pushed Oliver away from Skyler's side. "You, just lost your right to be outside. Betsy keep an eye on him until I get back, okay?" Betsy nodded while happily saying. "You got it!" As Oliver was being pushed away by Pauline, he spit towards the street. "Fucking faker. It's people like him that make those who need medical assistance look bad."

Skyler felt a rush of cold through his body as anxiety started to hit him, followed by a wave of depression as he thought. 'Ah joy, not only can I not move, but now I am being accused of being an attention seeker and a faker. Can this night get any better?' As he thought that, he instantly regretted it. He could feel his strength leaving his body as some sweat started to pour from his pores. At that moment a new notification appeared in the center of his view, only to confirm what he already knew. He was starting to have a Hkpp attack.

Afflicted by HKPP's Full Body Paralysis.

Skyler could feel his breathing slow as his eyes closed. They simply felt too heavy to keep open. He felt someone's warm finger poking his left cheek before Betsy's voice was heard. "Hey, Skyler. Are you sure you'll be okay? You're starting to sweat heavily." He let out a heavy and worn breath as he struggled to speak, but managed to say. "I....I-I, need something. S-something with a lot of, of, p-potassium to drink. B-before I am un, unable to do so." She poked his cheek again. "Like gatorade?" He was only able to heavily breathe from that point on.

Skyler could hear some footsteps. What he heard next was an exchange between Betsy and Pauline.

Betsy: "I don't know what he meant. He said he needs something to drink with a lot of potassium in it before he is unable to do so."

Pauline: "Huh? He's covered in sweat. What did you do?"

Betsy: "I was just watching him like you asked. Sure, I poked him once, but he was starting to sweat before that."

Pauline: "-sighs- I've never looked into how much potassium is in my drinks. I'll check google and see what I can find."

There was a pause for roughly a minute before they began to speak again.

Pauline: "Here we go. Huh? That's weird. Would you believe that carrot, pomegranate, tomato, and orange juice are the highest ones I can find? This isn't good. I don't think I have any of those at my place. Do you have any of these Betsy?"

Betsy: "Yeah, I have pomegranate juice. Want me to go get some?"

Pauline: "Yes, please. I'll wait here with him."

Betsy: "Okay."

As they spoke, Skyler listened while thinking. 'Oh the joys of being locked inside one's own body.' He let out a sigh while continuing to think. 'Now I get to add embarrassment along with it.' He could feel his depression worsen as Betsy ran off. As his heart sank from his self pity, he began to wonder if he would even be able to drink it by the time she came back. Would he be able to do so? Or would he end up needing to go to the hospital instead?
