Sparrow wasn't even sure how she got here anymore. She was coughing, wheezing, something pulled her here. She wasn't sure what she wanted, she just hurt and wanted it to stop. It was like her whole body ached and urged her towards something she wasn't even yet aware of. She found herself tearing at her mushrooms, ripping them, but they refused to detach. They spread spores around, and triggered another coughing fit. Even breathing hurt nowadays, and coughing was like taking a deer's kick directly to her chest. She had hoped, maybe, that the cold air would numb her lungs, but the dark, icy air felt like needles every time she breathed. She wanted it to stop. SHE wanted to stop. Or she at least wanted someone else to hurt worse than her.

Every hair on his body ached in a pain that was purely indescribable. Standing on end, patches sticking out in ooze-filled mats, the once mottled man was a glow of neon goo. His skin was raw and full of open sores that oozed with not only puss but more of the goo that he could no longer get rid of. No matter how many times he wiped at his face, scratched at the blisters, or bashed his head against rocks and trees, nothing ended the pain. Yellow eyes fogged over in a mask of delusion as every shadow turned into an enemy. Sleep was foreign to him as he had not gotten a wink in days.

Gilgamesh was a shell of a man that he no longer knew.

The whispers of forgotten voices hissed into his clogged eardrums as he blindly wound his way toward the north of Boreas. Unknown lands in a place he'd known since birth was a dreamlike state he could not escape. Rustling trees and scuttling creatures made him angrily swipe out with damaged claws. Fight after fight with strangers and inanimate objects drove him into the ground. Paranoia was the only emotion he could even attempt to feel as his lips drew up in a permanent ooze-filled snarl. His nose twitched erratically as he followed dozens of scents. Searching but also not searching at the same time. Following random leads that led to nowhere.

As he turned the corner around a barren, mushroom-infested tree, he laid his tired gaze upon a not quite familiar figure. Perhaps he had seen her before but his mind was a blur and his only true objective was to end the suffering. Finally, a target that would be worthy of bringing his demise. Not a single intelligible word emitted from his mouth as he approached the beastly-sized woman. She most definitely would do and the voices in his head confirmed his decision. Head lowered, hackles raised, and ears plastered to his oozy crown, Gil would waste not a second more.

Lumbering forward on unsteady paws, the spotted man in hues of grey lunged toward Sparrow with a ferocious growl bubbling up his coated throat. Leaning toward the left, nearly losing his balance, he stretched out oozy teeth as they clacked together. Aiming for her left leg, his brain told him to start off easy. Try to get her to the ground. If he could somehow manage to pin her, it would make his job all the easier. What would ease the pain? Her suffering ending or his? Nearly closing his eyes as he hoped to take hold of her mushroom sickened body, Gil's brain fought to decide whether he wanted to even win this fight. Wouldn't it just be easier to stop breathing all together?

Sparrow didn't notice the others approach at first. She was deeply invested and busied by her coughing fit. She only noticed him right as he ambled towards her. He tried to pin her, but Sparrow backpedaled, her lungs wheezing for the effort. She didn't need more convincing to fight, however, and launched back at her opponent, lion's mane mushrooms swinging from her chin and chest as she did. The extra weight kept her off balance and it was hard to focus. Each step, each heartbeat required more air and Sparrow rasped as her lungs exploded with spores and chilly air. She pressed on, aiming to bite into the man's left cheek, hoping to thrash her head and tear his face.

His own oozy spittle flung from his mouth as she backed away from his attempt to pin her. Snapping teeth clacked loudly in the air as his eyes noticed a bunch of glowing mushrooms coming in his direction. Thrown off by the wild appearance of the girl, though he wasn't in any better shape, he felt the surge of pain as her teeth scraped along his cheek. A pained whine cries out from his lips as he thrashes his own head away from her. He was in no shape to want to lose today.

Infuriated by the tear in his cheek that slowly oozed a bright green goo, Gil reached out with a large paw. Aiming for her in any direction that he could, he felt unstable. The fog that consumed his brain made his eyes feel woozy as he tried to stay on target. No telling where she was actually or if he was drawing blood, his frenzy of swiping was relentless.

The man's teeth snapped loudly and glowing spit flung from his mouth. Her own glowing spit flinging as her bite grazing against his cheek. His blood oozed green goo. He swatted out at her and scooped her front left leg, sending Sparrow rolling and scrambling back to her feet. She found herself in a fury of coughs, hacking up glowing spores and blood which flecked down her mushroom chest and around her mouth. She scurried, fumbling, trying to regain her momentum as her vision blurred from exhaustion. She aimed to slam her body into his, hoping she would be able to pin him and end this fight.

The battle ended in the opponent's favor as Sparrow found herself unable to move. Her vision blurred and she went to speak, but no words came out. Again, she moved to say something, to call off the fight, to ask how fat they'd go, anything, but nothing moved past her brain to her maw as she found herself unable to speak. She coughed, hacked, her vision still ever blurring and darkening, but it was apparent her opponent was to go much further than herself. She felt the injuries building, even their pain dulled by her numbing brain. In the end, it was her body that gave out, her legs that buckled as the last of her vision faded. -exit Sparrow via passing out-
