Real talk:

Does anyone here not have some kind of fucking childhood trauma bullshit? Goddamn, this is fucking pathetic to watch.

[YOU ARE LITERALLY ONE OF THEM, JOLYNE...]

Also, anyone that's got some anatomy knowledge, I have a quick question: how long does it generally take for someone to bleed out from a minor wound? Enough to need stitches but not enough to require surgery otherwise. Asking for my own curious brain, I swear to fuck I haven't done anything to warrant this question. Just idle weird thoughts.

Okay, actually, one more question. Skin grows back, doesn't it??????

[There is a long pause before he responds to this, and part of him seriously considers getting up, walking the few feet to his door, opening it, and walking across the hall just to see if she was actually okay. Because this did not sound quite as okay as she probably wants it to.

He's not worried about her physically, but wanting to make sure she didn't damage her head.

Then he stares at the post a bit more, before deciding to respond there. He'd take the effort later if there was still signs it was needed.]

Depending on the size of the wound, where it is, and who is bleeding will determine. Many minor wounds seal up on their own with clotting before someone can bleed out. But if it's in a high pressure area, or over a major artery... or the person has something reducing how much they clot... then I'd think between a half hour and a few hours, depending.

And yes, skin generally grows back... though that does also depend.

[She's totally fine, just bored out of her goddamned mind and these are the questions that come to mind when she lets her mind wander for any significant amount of time. Welcome to her brain, Giorno.]

Okayokayokay. I thought I had given a good descriptor, but I guess not. Just enough of a wound to where stitches would be needed for it to close up on its own. That deep. No more, no less. And also let's just say it doesn't clot. So it'd be, like, an hour or more, then?

DEPENDS ON WHAT??????

[giornata_gloriosa]

Probably, maybe even a couple hours unless it's on the neck or inside the thigh or something... that is without clotting, which even a wound needing stitches will do.

And depends on how the skin got lost... and if you consider scars skin or not. If a bunch of your skin got burned off, you might not get it all back, but your flesh in the area would probably harden to combat it a bit...

[strings_theory]

Wait. You mean you can die from a fucking cut on your goddamned thigh?????? What the fuck.

So it can just. Be not skin. But hardened flesh or w/e? That's actually kinda bad-ass if not disgusting as all hell. Fuck, I wonder if that's why my arms look like this, huh... The human body is fucking insane and idgi.

[giornata_gloriosa]

Yeah, well a specific area... it's not right on the surface but an inch or so in, on the inside of your thigh, up high near the groin... it's the femoral artery, people bleed out quickly from there.

It can become something that isn't really skin. But the desire to live and survive is strong and drives any living thing to extremes when needed. Consider your tattoo... it's your body deciding that the ink that was put there now belongs as a part of the cells it makes to replace the ones that naturally die out.

[strings_theory]

How the fuck do you know this.

I... guess that shit makes sense. Dunno. Just kinda thought that it was more just dying the lower layers or w/e and it'd eventually fade over time. Or so that's the shit I've heard, I dunno, it was bad-ass at the time.

[giornata_gloriosa]

I took anatomy courses. It's also a major thing they bring up in a lot of first aid classes.

Oh it will fade out, because as your skin cells create the next ones after them, eventually more and more of the color is leeched out in the cells falling off... Think of it like making a copy of a copy... and then copying that copy. The further from the original you go, the less clear or accurate things are... but you can often times still tell what they were supposed to be.
