Hmmm can you tell us a lil about Sicily’s post OE recovery?

SURE! let’s do it!

TW: vomiting, broken bones, violence

During the campaign

sicily, passed out from the fall, is woken by the sound of a rescue signal on her communicator. she doesn’t know what in the world is happening, but she starts to head toward the signal out of habit.

once she wakes up a little more, she can hear the sound of captain cuttlefish on the other line! knowing that, she starts to really pick up the pace towards where the signal is coming from.

she bursts through the roof of the central station, and lodges a punch towards the blender with so much force her forearm breaks in two.

the eights are saved, but soon after she passes out due to shock.

in cuttlefish’s negligence of her, his attention rightfully favoring the eights trying to escape, a sanitized octoling is able to sneak three away.

the octoling sacrifices a nearby octarian, crushing him into mush and plastering it on to sicily’s right side, the sheer thickness of the ooze rewiring half of her brain in favor of tartar.

during the fight with 8, she’s sort of in a dreamlike state, only feeling sensory abnormalities in or around herself, such as the lingering taste of hand sanitizer or the burning in her nose, and the ink that makes contact with her skin.

The Hospital

she’s comatose for 3 days before she wakes up. her dreams are still filled with sensory changes and the sound of voices around her.

when she wakes, she’s greeted by Caroline(4), Marie, and Aachi(Kaity, 8), who immediately swarm her asking if she’s okay!! caroline clings to her unbroken arm for the rest of their conversation.

when all is explained to her, she immediately is all over aachi, asking if he’s ok and stuff!! he’s like nono i’m fine ;o;

during her treatment at the hospital, she learns that too much excitement will make her vomit ooze, resulting in bouts where she can’t talk for a bit afterwards due to throat scratchiness.

she’s slowly being treated by extracting the sanitized ink from her body and replacing it with normal ink that matches her blood type, the only problem is her blood type is pretty rare, and the hospital soon runs out of their supply. they’re able to produce more, but they need a sample first.

everyone in the NSS is tested to see if they’re a match, and the only matches are callie and marie. marie, surprised, states that this type of blood pretty much only runs in their family.

marie donates her blood to be cloned, and soon after sicily learns she’s marie’s half-sister.

(BOOM!!!!! EXPLOSIONS!!!! I’M SO FREAKIN CRAZY!!!!!!!)

Recovery

after about a week in the hospital, sicily is discharged and lives in her apartment until she’s cleared safe. captain cuttlefish assigns aachi to live with her and monitor over her as she adjusts from her weakened state.

aachi’s still not quite over his rivalry with sicily, so often they’re snarky with each other, and aachi pokes at her over her unclean apartment, neglected because of the sheer time she spends as an agent.

most of the time it just ends with ‘whatever,’ ‘whatever!’ and sicily conks the fuck out and aachi secretly cleans up for her.

aachi discovers some photos of her and ryley and takes note of the fact that they’re in a relationship. all of a sudden he’s questioning: why am i jealous?

ryley comes to visit a few days after she returns to her apartment, and isn’t happy when he discovers aachi watching over her. blinded by his distrust of octolings, he starts viciously attacking 8. this continues, sicily screaming and begging for them to stop, until her mind has taken too much stress and she vomits all over herself.

the fighting comes to a standstill, and a bloodied aachi takes his opportunity to shove ryley out the door and shut it, screaming “Don’t come back!”

after a few hours, ryley calls off their 3 year relationship. sicily doesn’t know whether to be mad at aachi, ryley, or herself for starting all of this, but either way she’s pretty depressed.

regardless, she patches up aachi, sews his stitches and tells him about icing the swelling.

after that, sicily starts to teach aachi more about the world, including using her savings to buy him a phone, getting him hooked on starchy foods, and introducing him to lots and lots of board games.

they get pretty close after that. aachi begins to ponder just how pretty sicily is to him.

eventually sicily also teaches him about being queer, and tells him she’s bisexual. aachi, putting a finger on why he’s so obsessed with sicily’s appearance, realizes he desperately wants to be a girl.

sicily’s like fuck yeah! and thus, Kaity was born!

Training/Confession

after that, not a lot of interesting stuff happens except just a lot of training to try and gain back her strength!!

kaity’s crush on sicily begins to grow in size until it’s absolutely unbearable. it’s to the point where if sicily pins her during a spar, she’s left a flustered mess.

sicily begins to catch on, and knowingly teases her until she’s finally left to blurt out “I FUCKING LIKE YOU SICILY!!” and lots and lots of smooching ensues.

out of breath and kissed silly, sicily says “wanna be girlfriends?”

kait can only dramatically fall into her arms with a lovestruck stare and another kiss.

THAT’S ALL!! HOPE YOU FOUND THAT SILLY!
