Yeah, Nico would probably be triggered with the sudden noise, and even more so if they dropped it. But really either way, lol

Honestly, if there was any mess, Ingall would be a bit anxious as well, though not as bad as Nico

I'd say once Ingall was calm enough to help Nico/help Revan help Nico, Akira would probably go to find Garvin and do all of that, lol

Okay, so-

Someone drops the metal whatever, Nico gets triggered and Ingall is a bit anxious from it too (Garvin switches, hides under sink), Revan and Akira help out Ingall and Nico, Revan and Ingall continue to help out Nico while Akira goes to check on/find Garvin.

Akira knocks on the door, doesn’t get an answer, realizes the bathroom light is off, and walks back to where the others are to ask/tell them about Garvin basically disappearing (anyone seen him? anyone know where he is? the bathroom light is off. etc, etc.).

I have it then that more than just Akira starts looking for him, so technically still could be someone else other than Akira, but if Akira works/seems most likely then we’ll just do them lol

All that works great!

I still think Akira works best, yeah, lol

Alright then, Akira will be the one to find him lmao

I should be able to get that up sometime tonight actually haha

Alright! :D

Okay, so, realized I need one more question answered-

How would Akira react to finding Garvin curled and crying underneath the bathroom sink with a bloody/bleeding hand/fingers?

For some reference- This is sometime before Boiling Point and sometime after Garvin dyes his hair for the first time. So. Somewhere between those two events haha.

Hmm, that's a good question-

Let's see, the first thing they'd do is try to calm Garvin enough to take care of his wound (though grounding excersizes like counting, 5-4-3-2-1 method, and enviromental explination and constant, calm talking mostly), then clean the wound and basically just try to talk Garvin down with as little contact as possible, unless or until Garvin requests contact.

If Garvin wasn't calming down after a longer period of time, Akira would probably just try to get him into a position where they could limit how much more Garvin was hurting himself and probably just try to keep talking until Garvin was more present.

Really though, very much contact is a last resort and would only happen if asked for or necessary to keep Garvin from hurting himself more

After the episode, again, Akira's making sure that Garvin's taken care of, probably getting the others to help with soothing, and then, the second Garvin's attention is focused on someone else or he's sleeping, Akira's probably slipping away for a little bit when they're sure no one else will follow and dealing with the panic, guilt, and pain the whole thing put them through, because they're not about to let anyone else see that, especially not right after Garvin's much worse episode, haha

That's all great, haha

Love all of that

Will say, Akira's probably gonna end up having to wait until Garvin switches back in (or at least until Spyro switches out) or falls asleep since Spyro is not about to trust anyone. Except, like, maybe Akira by the time they get them out from under the sink. Poor kid doesn't realize that they aren't with Rudy anymore sooo

Yeah.

Doesn't trust anyone. Doesn't know anyone.

Most unfortunate is that Spyro is one of the pretty darn non-verbal ones too.

Yeahhh

In that case, Akira will stick around until Spyro falls asleep or switches for sure, the good news is they're pretty decent at picking up on non-verbal cues (though not as good as Ingall) and they'll for sure understand Spyro not trusting anyone else

Poor guy though :(

Totally fair, Spyro's going to be so against leaving the bathroom at all. Like. Gonna be a battle just to get them out from under the sink, out of the bathroom is a whole other story.

The moment someone else shows up, any progress is basically lost too. Akira might get them out from under the sink and somewhat calm, but the moment they even hear someone else getting close, they're trying to get back under the sink and out of sight as quietly and as quickly as possible.

The man (Rudy) having one actually nice friend they can maybe believe. But more than that? There's no way.

-

I'm almost at where Akira opens the cabinet to see Garvin/Spyro though. Uh. Any specific immediate reactions I need to know?

Akira would've opened the bathroom door, turned on the light, saw some blood (admittedly not all that much) on the countertop, and after some glancing about and thinking- Notice some blood (again admittedly not all that much) on the cabinet handle and opened the cabinet. Just in case.
