Day 203 | The sick are recovering! (Open)

[freedom_engineer]

WHO: Colin, any recovering folks, any visitors.
OPEN: Open like a door
WHEN: Day 203 (BACKDATED)
WHAT: The cure has been found and administered. Check up on the sick, why don't you?
WHERE: The hospital
FORMAT: However you want, go nuts
WARNINGS: Recovering people, probable sass, and of course, Colin.



After six days of paranoia, and three days of absolute terror, things were finally looking up. A cure had been delivered, and with it, the calamity survivors had been able to synthesize more than enough doses of cure for the plague to safeguard the Bastion. It had been administered to the sick, and now all that was needed was to make sure that everyone recovered.

Colin, of course, was going to be visiting everyone to make sure that there weren't any complications. It wouldn't do to have anyone in danger after they'd made it through to the end. He had yet to take off his environmental suit though, his own paranoia was significant.

(OOC: I figure this will be a good opportunity for people to do a little more mingling, and get their bearings after the plague. The quarantine has been lifted, though Colin still wants people washing their hands frequently. If you want Colin to check up on the sick, he can do that! If you want someone else to check up on the sick, by all means! The threat is passed, now rejoice, hug your sick loved ones, and let's move on!)

[It's the first time Zuko has seen Rin since learning she was sick, so she doesn't know how bad she might have looked before, but no, she doesn't look like she's dying. Just sick.]

Hey.

How are you doing?

[hellpyre]

[Not-dying is a good look for her.]

Better. ... ish.

[cough]

Looks like you survived everythin' alright.

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko agrees. Very good look.]

Yeah. I guess I did.

[Everyone's survived all right, she hopes. Ahime was hurt pretty badly.]

...I'm just glad we got it back in time.

[hellpyre]

Cut it a little close, huh? Not that you could help it... sounded like things got pretty hairy out there.

[daughterofursa]

It could have been worse. I don't think the men we ran into had any real training.

[She frowns, thinking back on the encounter.]

They've probably had a rough time of it.

[hellpyre]

I... heard somethin' went down. What happened?

[daughterofursa]

We'd split up, so I missed most of it.

[Maybe she could've been more help if she'd been there. Shielded the others from the explosion?]

The others set of a booby trap, and triggered an explosion. Ahime got hurt, and about a dozen Ura showed up. I hear they just started shooting. The others were still trying to get away when we got there.

[hellpyre]

... oh.

[Wait--]

Ura? There were Ura at that place?

[daughterofursa]

Yeah. It was part of this world, so I guess it makes sense.

[Whether it makes it any more likely that there are survivors from other worlds, like her own, or like Rin's she doesn't know. She isn't sure she wants to get her hopes up again.]

[hellpyre]

I know but--... well, how is Zulf takin' that?

[she's not even concerned about the "other survivors" part of things.]

[daughterofursa]

Zulf? I don't know, he wasn't with us.

[She barely knows Zulf, it didn't occur to her to seek him out.]

[hellpyre]

Oh...

[Right, he had been there. At least for part of the time. After he abandoned her, she had no idea if he'd been out of the hospital or not. Or even talked to anyone that had went.

She'll try and track him down later.

Maybe.

If he can even stand to see her again.]

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko isn't sure what's going through Rin's head right now, but, well, Zulf is Ura, so.]

...you think he'll want to find them? Bring them back here?

[hellpyre]

Find them, probably. I'unno about bringin' them back here...

[Zulf had always made it pretty clear that Ura and Cael were not in good terms and that the Bastion was entirely a Cael creation.]

[daughterofursa]

I guess it'd be hard to convince them.

[She's thinking more of the fact they might not think too well of the Bastion's current residents. Especially her.]

[hellpyre]

The Bastion is Cael made. I'm surprised there are any Ura willin' to live here at all, to be honest...

[daughterofursa]

They hate each other that much?

[hellpyre]

I can't remember, were you here when all that shit came out in the open?

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko shakes her head slowly, not sure what Rin is referring to. She arrived just after it, in fact.]

[hellpyre]

... maybe it's better you missed it, then. That whole thing was a fuckin' mess.

[daughterofursa]

What happened exactly?

[hellpyre]

Well, the short version is... they told us that the Caels are the ones responsible for everythin'. They were buildin' weapons against the Ura and the wrong one went off...

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko can't say she's surprised. She knew there'd been some sort of conflict, and only people would be stupid enough to throw the universe this much out of balance.]

A weapon like that should never have been made, much less used on anyone.

...

I can see why they wouldn't want to live with Caels, but I don't get why the Bastion itself would bother them.

[hellpyre]

[So true.]

No, but it was. Hell, my world was the same way, but with a lot more people involved. And, y'know. Demons in the background.

The Bastion was their creation, to protect them from this sorta thing. It was... planned. Caels live, Ura die.

[daughterofursa]

We didn't have weapons like that in my world, but... [Sozin's Comet. She shakes her head.]

That's obviously not its purpose now. And anyway in wartime, it would've been to their advantage to capture enemy technology like this.
