when they're pulling your insides out



Moving between planes is, in theory, a dangerous practice. Taako has never had trouble with it before; normally, it's like, well, blinking, he's there and then back again, safe and sound.

That's not the case this time.

This time, he blinked out of one plane, but he didn't immediately step into the other-+ something felt... wrong. Like he was shifted or snatched out of the air, captured, and...

... And then he wakes up.

He's strapped down, bound to some cool, flat surface, his chest bare, though he's been left with his pants and undies, which is awfully polite of whoever kidnapped him from between planes. When he speaks up, his voice is shaking, just a little.

"Uh... h-hi, uh... anybody there?"

At first, there's no answer. There's no answer for several minutes, in fact. But then a door, blending into the wall before Taako, opens, and a pale man with light lilac hair and a purple tattoo walks in. He takes one look at Taako and smiles a little, quirking an eyebrow.

"Ah. You're awake, then. You recovered remarkably quickly from reconstitution. Of course, this isn't going to be fun for you, now that you are." On closer inspection, the man is in scrubs, and pushing a cart. It's not a good sign.

"As easy as that would be, I can't do that." His smile doesn't falter as he pushes the cart next to Taako. There's a sheet over the implements, so they're not visible, but that makes them all the more ominous. There is also a clear bag hanging from an IV stand. He goes to another wall, pressing his hand against a panel and opening a closet, and retrieves a tank and mask.

"I was hoping to not have to use this. I don't know how your body will respond to anesthetic, but it's better than the alternative." He lifts the mask, removing plastic sealing and pulling out the straps. "Hold still, this should work."

"Well. I suppose an initial interview isn't out of the question." He tosses the mask onto the cart. It shifts the cloth covering the implements, exposing a handle that looks dreadfully scalpel like.

"What do you call yourself? Your species?" He adjusts the cloth, covering the handle again, and pulls a rubber strap out from the cabinet that makes up the lower half of the cart. It goes around Taako's upper arm, tight enough to slightly restrict bloodflow. Byakuran also retrieves a small but sharp needle, which attaches to the tube hanging from the clear bag. "This is saline, salt water. I'm assuming that will not react poorly to your physiology? Our initial tests showed some similarities to human anatomy, and some... marked differences."

"Elf... Did you happen to time travel?" He picks up the mask again, and connects it to the canister. Turning a valve on the latter just a hint leads to a faint hiss, and he places it over Taako's face, even if he has to hold the wizard's head steady to do so.

"Elves don't exist normally in this time or place, you see. I'm not going to pass up this opportunity to examine you." Already a faint euphoria will be creeping over Taako as the gas - not enough to put him under totally, because that's too much of a risk, but enough to distance him significantly from the pain he's about to experience - takes hold.

He's on anesthetic, he's on saline... Byakuran hooks up an oxygen tank from the same closet for good measure before injecting a local anesthetic right under Taako's collarbone. Then and only then does he pull his mask from his throat to his mouth and lift the cloth from the cart's tray. It holds, as expected, surgical tools, clean and fresh from the autoclave. He'd use nothing less. He also starts a recorder.

His hands are practiced and steady as he begins the first incision. The cut goes straight down along Taako's sternum, through muscle and fat, along bone. He uses retractors to open the flesh, and marvels at the sight. "Subject is unfortunately awake for the procedure, as an adverse reaction to being put under is possible. Subject has more solid ribs than a human of a similar size and build, and a slower heartbeat than anesthetic of current level would normally cause."

"Don't worry, I won't let you die." He smiles faintly, visible in his eyes, and turns to get the hemostat, to clamp bleeders. As he turns, Taako might note that his shirt has two long holes cut in it, from shoulder blade to just above the hip.

"Subject is experiencing normal levels of trepidation. I will now widen the incision." As soon as he's done speaking, he proceeds, extending the cut. The scalpel is so sharp, it's like a hot knife through warm butter as he opens first the skin and fat, and then the abdominal wall.

"Interesting." Byakuran gently prods the elf's exposed guts. "Subject has longer intestines than human subjects. Perhaps descended from herbivorous species?" He decides to use the fact that Taako's awake. "Can you eat meat?"

"I see... That may be for the best." He starts to gently root around, gloved hands prodding. It's probably a weird feeling.

"Subject is... apparently elven, spleen and gall bladder normal, slightly enlarged liver, whether from disease or nature I can't say without labwork." He takes a quick biopsy of Taako's liver. "Stomach... average size. Kidneys, healthy." He sighs. "Oh to have a look at your brain... But I'd have to acquire the machines for that, and even my moscas could not do so unseen... Hmm."

With that, he removes the retractors and begins to close the wound. "Further examination will commence in half an hour." As he says that, he pulls off his blood-stained gloves and places a hand on Taako's incision. The purpose for the slits in the back of his shirt become apparent as large white wings slide out of his back, and shine golden light down. Sun flames lick along the wound, promoting cellular health and reconstitution, and soon it's closed, leaving not even a scar. "Much more efficient than sutures, wouldn't you say?" He lifts the mask off Taako, turning off the gases, but leaves the IV in. There's a lot of blood. Kind of everywhere.

"I'll be examining what I haven't had the chance to look at yet." With a smirk, he taps Taako's waistband, and turns away, walking out of the room.

It's a good half an hour before he returns, in fresh scrubs and apparently showered. He's also got a small box in his hands. "Hello again. This will hopefully be a little less... invasive." He sets the box on the cart and starts to undo Taako's pants.

"We'll have a few more tests to run, all in sanitary conditions. I've had some rooms prepared, they'll be moved here soon." As he reveals Taako's genitalia, his grin fades slightly, and he purses his lips. "Hmm. This is far-removed from human. We'll have to do some more examination." He extracts a tongue depressor from the cart-cupboard and gently prods Taako's sheath.

"I'm hardly surprised. Is that a baculum or are you just happy to see me?" He rubs his head before giving the sheath a stroke with the stick. Gotta be thorough, after all.
onethousandflowers: (Self-Satisfied Smile)

[personal profile] onethousandflowers 2017-10-11 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"I see." His grin grows as he puts on gloves, and starts to actually handle the sheath and emerging cock below. It's a little more effective than brushing with a popsicle stick.

"Well, this is the last test. I'd run a cat scan too but I can't laser the brace off your wrist without cutting the wrist." He stops, seems to think, then shakes his head. "There's too much risk of you bleeding out if I did so. And even sun flames have a hard time with burned flesh, so removing your hand in a way that would prevent bleeding is also out of the question..."

As he speaks, he continues to palpate and massage Taako's penis. Only when it is fully erect does he let go, and pull out a tape measure, test tubes, and a swab from the cart.

"I'd imagine so." He starts to measure the dimensions of Taako's cock. "Interesting. Slimmer than humans, but just as long."

With that done, he takes a swab of the pink tissue of the cock proper, and a second swab down the sheath. These go in two of the test tubes. The last and largest is pressed to the head of Taako's length as Byakuran begins to jerk him off more earnestly.
onethousandflowers: (All within my grasp)

"I figured you would be." Byakuran holds the tube steady and keeps jerking Taako off. He has no idea how long it'll be until he comes, but he'll keep going until he can collect a sample. He's taken blood and saliva, he's even taken a spinal tap (not that Taako needs to know about that), but now there's this to collect.

Byakuran notes the changes in Taako's body, and redoubles his efforts. He'd use his mouth, but he doesn't want to contaminate the sample. Instead, he rhythmically squeezes and strokes, dancing behind the head with his thumb, all the while staring expectantly at the formerly sanitary tube placed against Taako's slit.
