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.

[And someone indeed was on their way!

Okay, admittedly Aoi wasn't really acquainted with...really, anyone sent to the hospital in the aftermath of the core hunt. But that hadn't stopped her from worrying! After all of that, there was no doubt to her that they were all a team, and when a teammate got injured, you checked up on them!

So not long after that, the door edged open and Aoi stuck her head in.

Knock knock! Can I come in? [Usually people actually knocked on the door first, but all right, Aoi.]

[Rin had been spending most of her time in the Distillery thanks to Mireille's pregnancy coming to term not that long ago. It had been even busier than usual, what with one of the largest groups of new arrivals showing up the day before. It had been a mess of introductions and rushing some people to the hospital while trying to get others fed and in to apartments for rest.

The next morning was much the same day, with Rin having to attend to getting ready-to-grab meal items out for anyone not in the hospital while taking food to the hospital for the ones still there.

It was all very hectic and if not for her demonic stamina (and finally getting used to the weirdness of the "days" in the Bastion) she would have been exhausted. Hell, she might still wind up exhausted if this kept up for much longer.

Having dropped off all the morning meals already, Rin was heading back out with the used trays when she heard yelling coming from of the rooms. It startled her bad enough that she nearly dropped them, but by a quick save she was able to keep them from falling from her arms.

... oh. That sounded like Ippo.

Setting the trays down quickly, she bolted to his room, throwing the door open with a worried expression. She of course had no idea what had happened to him in the Bog, and that "she" had been responsible for the proverbial final blow that knocked him out for so long.]


Ippo?!

[She was stricken with worry, and very much not wearing the face of some one who wanted to kick Ippo down to the ground again. She stepped in hesitantly, closing the door behind her carefully.]

Five days. How... how d'ya feel?

Recoverin'. Slowly. We uh... got a huge group of arrivals yesterday. It's been a little crazy since then...

[There was a chair near by, but she didn't take it, hovering by the closed door awkwardly.]

... y'hungry?

[Rin nodded with a faint smile, opening the door again.]

They're good people, from what I can tell. Really confused, though. They were... experiments, or somethin' like that. I'unno the full story but I'm sure you can ask at some point.

But uh... lemmie go get some food, okay?

[She wasn't gone long, and she returned with a tray piled high with food - much more than she had given the other hospital residents. She knew that he would need it more than they did, and that a guy like him ate a lot compared to others.]

Here.

[Much to his fortune, Alucard arrived soon after. Although it didn't reach his face - of course, not many emotions really do - the dhampire is pleasantly surprised to see the boy awake.]

...Welcome back.

I know you wanna get your strength back as soon as you can.

[Rin dropped down in to the seat finally, snagging a bread roll off his tray to nibble at herself.]

[It probably helped that he'd foregone the cape today as well. He always seems somewhat smaller without it.]

Five days. How do you feel?

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-10-28 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
You still gotta be careful!

[The usual admonishment from her, the Bastion's biggest hypocrite.

But on a more seriousness note.]


... what... happened out there anyway?

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-10-28 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Gas... ?

[That almost got her to press for more. If it was something that needed to be avoided the next time they went out on the Skyway, she would want to know more about it and what it did.

But his expression, and his words after made her stop, snapping her mouth shut. Her jaw worked a bit, but soon enough she nodded and offered a sympathetic smile.]


That's fine. You need to rest and get better anyway.

[personal profile] hellpyre 2013-10-28 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Great... I already hate those damn things enough as it is...

[But then, she hated most everything out on the Skyway that was out to get them.]

I'll remember that though.
superdrowningskills: (Speak softly...)

We gained a large number of new arrivals yesterday: nine in fact. We also now have the electricity that people so wished for.

[He really doesn't see what the big deal is, honestly. The constant buzz is irritating whenever he has to go into a building with electricity in it.]

...I have also temporarily changed residences.
