[hdbdbbdvdj scare the pants off a guy why don't you.
Wu's screaming rips through the house on what has been an otherwise calm day. If you consider calm a tense and cloudy anxiety hole waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Bolin has stuck close to Wu a lot lately. Never very far away at all if he can bear to let go in the first place. Which honestly is so freaking weird of them but he's chalking it up to intense.. Dreamland.. bonding? Yeah. Let's go with that. So he's really only in the other room and he's out in the hall like a shot to find Wu covered in blood.
Skidding around the corner ready to fight and thinking he absolute worst he opens his mouth to yell- ]
Wu! Are you-
[And that's when his blood egg appears and detonates, shooting gore all over the place as he runs into it. Face, chest, and all inside his mouth. He hacks a startled breath and falls back onto the floor, stomach turning immediately. Blood. Blood all over him, blood in his mouth and throat and lungs spirits help they're gonna die. This is how they die they never should have eaten that egg!! ]
[ Oh thank the spirits Bolin! He's here! He can help! Wu is still so stunned from being struck in the face with a blood egg that he can barely speak.
But then Bolin gets hit as well. The blood spatters all over him and Wu feels faint. He stumbles back a step, reaching a hand out for the wall. It holds him up, but barely, his own thankfully empty stomach turning too. He wretches, turning to the wall because he can't look at Bolin covered in gore like that. Not now, not ever ]
[Asami appears from the direction of the kitchen, face and hair splattered with blood, but she's a woman with quick reactions so she managed to squeeze her mouth and eyes shut when the egg burst. She's in a panic for multiple obvious reasons but first thing's first:]
[ This would be a lot more horrifying of a scene to skid into—Wu and his brother on the ground, screaming and covered in blood, and Asami nearby looking pale and also covered in blood, if:
1. Mako was not also covered in blood; though he also had the presence of mind and reaction time to close his mouth and duck, so it's really more sprayed in his hair and down his back; and 2. kind of used to random screaming, by now.
It's still horrifying, but at least Mako is coming into this with understanding, despite the pounding of his heart and the fear that scream jolted into him. He's at Wu's side in the space of a breath, pulling an arm under his shoulders to support his weight before he passes out or something. ]
Everyone okay? They got you too? Did you swallow any?
[ Just barking questions like the concerned family guard dog he is, don't mind him. ]
[ Mako confirms, a little too sharply. He also would really like the blood that's currently dripping down the back of his neck to not be doing that, so. Slowly, Mako pulls Wu a little closer, pressing a steady hand in between his shoulderblades, and meets Asami's eyes over the top of Bolin's poor, blood-covered head. ]
This was those weird eggs. Something must have happened. It is a new month.
[ Asami help you're the only other rational one here.
The voting, he doesn't say, but the thought hovers insistently. ]
It's not out of the ordinary. You should've seen the blood elevator.
[ Mako says, with a truly spectacular amount of bitterness in his voice. He wraps an arm around Wu's shoulders to tug him into the kitchen, looking back at Asami. ]
Probably won't hurt us, but. Still. It can't mean anything good.

I'm dead. Bolin's dead. We're dead, right? I knew it would happen sometime. There's not next life, only death! Mako!
[ Wu clings to him. He knows he's being dramatic but he might be right and he doesn't want to let go ]
I'm not ready to die again!

[Some people just have blood drying in their hair and it's really unpleasant and she doesn't like it!!]
[She looks at Mako, bewildered.]
Right?!

[ Wu blinks, then reaches up to wipe the blood away from his eyes. He wretches again, thinking about it. It's so thick and viscous and he hates it.
He reaches up to hold onto Mako's shoulder, pressing close to him. ]
It was the egg thing! It exploded in my face. Oh.
[ He grimaces at the blood in Mako's hair, then looks over at Bolin and Asami. ]
You all had it happen too?

[Bolin holds one hand into the air before pulling himself up from the floor to disappear into the kitchen to wash his mouth out.
Yep it happened to him too. Brb oh fuck gross grossss]

Is this the kind of thing that happens here?

[From his position over the sink, green at the gills and ready to throw himself head first down the garbage disposal]
I shouldn't have eaten that egg!
