Day 161 - Something's nasty...something's foul...
Who: Raile and whoever wants to stumble over this sick kid.
When: Day 161
Where: The Monument, and perhaps other places in the Bastion.
What: Raile is really, really sick and needs help badly.
Format: Any you can think of is fine with me.
Warnings: Body squickiness, sickness, serious discussions most likely.
[There was something incredibly off, Raile could tell the minute he opened his eyes that things weren't normal about him; the right side of his face felt like it was being crushed and stabbed at the same time...like someone had covered a hammer head in zulwood oil. As well, his entire body was hot to the point where he was sweating profusely and that same crushing feeling extended down to his chest, making his breathing nothing short of a labored chore; everything part of him ached and his insides felt like they were on fire. Simply keeping his eyes open hurt and caused his world to spin right along with his stomach. Against his better judgement, Raile stood up from his bed roll--only to fall flat on his face without any help from the Skyway; it took him a few tries, but he eventually got to his carbine which he used as a crutch as he began to walk towards the center of the Bastion.
If anything, his mind was so wracked with pain and the urge to be sick that he could hardly have come up with any solid plan on where he was going; but his body sure as heck knew where it needed to go...at best, he was heading in the general direction of Zulf's tent, not that his body would be able to carry him that far. Every step his took made his world spin harder and sent an ache that pierced right through his bones; Raile was a tough kid, but even the strongest man alive had his limits...he only got as far as the monument before he collapsed once again, his rifle clattering off to the side. He could no longer keep his eyes open out of the pain the light of the sun sent through his head, so he shut his eyes and used the last of his strength to prop his back against the metal construct that rested in the center of the Bastion.
It's hum was somewhat comforting, but it did little to ease his pain as he sat against it and did his best just to breath deep, ragged breaths. He'd never felt like this in his life...and if someone didn't find him here soon, this might very well be the last time he felt like this...or felt anything at all.]

[Later, Rosethorn can be impressed by Torkoal. Colin mentioned the Pokemon to her once before, and he's as interesting as expected.
She exhales sharply in relief when Raile starts breathing again.]
I could get him unconscious easily enough. I hesitate to do it considering how recently his heart and lungs started working again. I haven't tested side effects on anyone in that situation. It could be worse for him to feel what we're doing, but I worry a little less about that.
no subject
[Colin actually grins at that, and he shakes his head.]
No, he won't need anesthesia for this. People who've suffered laser wounds have observed that the only pain they felt was from doing something stupid to a wound they never realized they suffered. There's no pressure, no extra wounding to worry about. He won't feel a thing.
[He produces his multi-tool from his toolkit, and he actuallys beams.]
This part will be easy. It's what comes later that I worry about. Rosethorn, can you prepare something to clean the pus and blood? Once that's been taken care of, we can worry about the infection.
[He turns on the laser then, and with a flick of his wrist, the stitched wound is reopened to drain. So begins the medical process.]
(OOC: Since Rosethorn mun's going to be gone a couple of days, and since it's going to be a lot of medical stuff that I know I personally don't know enough to accurately RP, do we just want to handwave what's coming next?)

[[ooc; For the sake of speed and not making everyone reading this thread throw up, I agree.]]
no subject
[[ooc; I concur, we can handwave all the medical nonsense and go straight to the after everything is done part.]]
