Day 122: Rough Awakenings

Who: Ippo and anyone who wants to visit
When: Day 122
Where: The Hospital
What: The Sleeper has awakened and needs a little help getting back up on his feet
Format: Any
Warnings: Hospital Things, a little blood, and maybe some sad talks

[The scene in his mind kept replaying over and over and over, as if some cruel tormentor had strapped him into a chair and was forcing him to rewatch one of the most painful experiences of his life while he was completely separated from it; only able to watch helplessly as he was impaled by Rin and had his face ground into the dirt repeatedly. Each time he felt himself slip a little further away, more and more until he was simply ready to close his eyes to escape his torment and never open them again; but it was then he heard a voice in the back of his head. It was small at first, but eventually he could make out Coach Kamogawa's stern voice, yelling at him to yell up and feeling the sting of his hand on his back. Then came Kimura, Aoki, Takamura, even Miyata joined in the rising chant for him to stand up.

Then his other friends from the Bastion joined in, Seimei, Night, Alucard...and Rin; the chorus of voices had reached a pitch in his mind where everything else was blocked out, and then his eyes opened now glowing a fierce green. His teeth and fists clenched in unison as his body sidestepped the oncoming sword that was to impale him again and his body coiled like an angry cobra as he prepared to strike the fake Rin; her smug look now contorting into something akin to fear.

This isn't real...you're not real..NONE OF THIS REAL!!!

[He yelled at the top of his lungs as he swung his fist in a heavy arch, his gauntlet screaming towards Fake Rin's face with enough force to break down a brick wall and just as it made contact...he woke with a start. His eyes shot open and the first thing he noticed was the distinct sound of a fast paced beeping which was slowly starting to level out; or rather the first thing he noticed as that he had something shoved down his throat which he quickly pulled out as he began coughing violently. Once he pulled himself under control, he looked around slightly as his eyes adjusted to the light of the room as he tried to figure out just where on earth he was; he had been in Jawson Bog last he remembered...and now...was this the hospital? Had he somehow gotten back to the Bastion?

There were more questions than answers at the moment...but he was in a warm bed and there didn't seem to be anything around that was going to cause him harm; so he simply leaned back into his bed and continued to let his eyes adjust. Hopefully someone would be around to explain the situation to him soon...that or he'd have the strength to get out and move on his own; either way, it was just a waiting game for now.

It WOULD be nice to have a dedicated place to work out again. Having to scrounge up eight hundred pounds of weight and run around the rim of the Bastion is a little frustrating every morning. And before you boggle at the weight, my body's been augmented for heavy weights and gravity, among other things.

[Have a laugh, Ippo]

Sounds like you and I have got a project, once you're on your feet again.

[You too can lift ten times your body weight Ippo, if you have several cybernetic surgeries and gene-tweaking. If it's any consolation, you can still probably out-fight Colin. Strength isn't everything, even if it helps.]

Good!

If you need another boost, we're going to have new fresh fruit tomorrow, and once I can teach Rin to roast the seeds, a steady source of caffeine too.

IF she'll roast the seeds for me, I said the wrong thing to her before our expedition and she's upset at me. Still don't know what I said...

I'm hopeful too, but that was my attempt to patch things up after a rough first day.

I'm... a little clumsy with my words, most of the time.

Sincerity is not a problem. Filtering... THAT'S a problem. I speak engineer. Give me a technical issue, and I'm fine. Give me a social issue, and I'm blunt.

That's not usually the best conversational habit.

We'll get it figured out.

[Colin gives a crisp nod, not seeming terribly worried.]

Worse comes to worst, I have to learn to cook my own food for a few months.

That may be the best way to go about it if I can't patch things up with her tomorrow.

I'm hoping the gift of fresh fruit will soothe her frayed nerves, but... Well, like I said. I said SOMETHING wrong, and I still have no idea what it was.
