*Except... he doesn't wake up. Just sits there, limp like a wet blanket*

"Bro. Stop. You're fine. Quit being so damn dramatic."
-
*If he was being dramatic, he'd at least be breathing and groaning. He's not doing either of those* *From the window, Mion flies in to see Mortar in the bed* What did you do Smough?
-
"I sorta made him go Super Saiyan..."
-
I'm sorry, what now? Oohhhhh, Cyan's gonna kill you!
-
"Dude?! Why is he not moving?!" [b]Ornstein walks in.[/b] O:"Guys, I'm ba...Mortar?!"
-
*The only response you get is from Mion* He's not moving because he's dead!
-
"W...what?! No no no...we were just in the arena..."
-
I gotta tell Cyan. *Mion flies out the window to Cyan's house*
-
"SMOUGH! WHAT THE HELL!!"
-
*After a moment Cyan bursts into the room, a knife in hand* YOU'RE DEAD SMOUGH!
-
"CYAN, NO!" [b]Ornstein starts to hold Cyan back.[/b] "I'll deal with him later..."
-
Get out of my way! *Cyan is flailing around with the knife in her hand*
-
"CYAN! Calm down!!" [b]The knife slices Orn in the chest. He doesn't bother to look at it as he tries taking it.[/b]
-
*Cyan bursts into tears as she tries to get to Smough, slicing at the air around you* NO! KILL HIM! KILL HIMMM!!!!
-
S:"I didn't mea-" O:"Get out. GET OUT, YOU MONSTER. I SHOULDN'T HAVE LET YOU LIVE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. GET OUT!" [b]Smough walks out.[/b]
-
*Cyan jerks free from your grasp and runs next to Mortar on his bed, crying* What... what happened? How did this happen?
-
"I watched the fight... Mortar overloaded himself and...oh damnit... This is my fault. I thought it be a good idea to host a stupid-ass arena fight and I thought that the revival thing would save anything but..." [b]Ornstein falls to the ground.[/b]
-
*Cyan looks at you, tears in her eyes* It's... it's not your fault... it's... I'm sorry, I really am... Mortar... Gore... he was doing things he had never done before... overloaded himself... I'm sorry, Ornstein.
-
"I should've known...I should've known... Damnit..." [b]He stands up, looking down and shaking his head.[/b]
-
*Cyan sits next to you, trying to comfort you just as Wit barges in* Wit: I came as soon as I could! What happened? *Crossbow isn't far behind him*
-
"...I...I need to tell the Nameless King... The last Lord of Cinder, the Heir of Fire...has fallen..." [b]He starts to sob.[/b]
-
*Wit runs over to the bed, trying all sorts of chants, symbols, runes, anything that can bring him back... but none of this works. Despite Wit studying this for years he has never been able to bring someone back.* Wit: I'm sorry, sir, but he is gone. Crossbow: I wish Mortar told us how he brought people back. He's done it with Me, Wit, and Cadmael.
-
[b]Orn is muttering to himself now, holding his head.[/b] "...My fault...I should've known...should've known..." [b]He breaks down again.[/b]
-
Wit: Cross, can you help me prepare the body? Crossbow: Yeah, let's carry him out. If that's okay with you two. Cyan: You can, if you must prepare him. Ornstein?
-
"Y...yeah?"
