Day 201 [event post]

Who: Zahi and everyone who wants to go hunt down the cure
Open: Open
When: 201- onwards
Where: the monument, and then out on the Skyway
What: People in the Bastion are falling sick, and Zahi knows where a cure can be found. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to get to.
Format: action
Warnings: none

[On Day 201, after several people have fallen ill, another meeting is called. This time, however, it is not Nathaniel who has called for everyone. It's Zahi.]

Okay, I know everyone's been worried about the people in the hospital, and it looks like our fears weren't unfounded: some of the people who went on that last trip, they caught something.

I've been watching the symptoms, and I think I know what this is. A long time ago, back before Zayna was born, there was a terrible illness that claimed the lives of many Ura. Everyone who fell sick here, they had the same symptoms as those who caught the disease before.

On the plus side, this means that it can be cured. I know of a clinic, way out in the Terminals, where there should be some medicine stocked. Not only can we cure the sick, but we can give another kind of medicine to those who aren't sick yet, so they won't catch it at all.

The downside is that it's gonna take a while to get there. It'll be at least two days there, and possibly more to track down exactly where the clinic is, and then the same amount of time back. We're looking at a four-day minimum, which means we won't be much help to those who are sick right now. They'll either be dead or getting better by the time we get back.

Then there's the fact that it's really dangerous out there. Zayna and I were out on the Terminals before we came here, and let's just say that there's a reason we went looking for somewhere safer to stay.

If you'd rather stay here, I can understand that. The Bastion is an amazing place, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone here managed to save everyone. But I'm not a fan of putting all my eggs in one basket, so I figured it's worth a shot to go and try to get some of the medicine.

What do you guys think?

Water is fine but eatin'... ugh, I can't even think about food...

[Low purr, calmed noises...

She wishes Bon was here to do this, but she knows he's trying to make sure she doesn't kick the bucket.]


Strange boy that got sick anyway.

[tries to laugh at that one, but ends up sliding into another coughing fit so harsh he has to brace himself with one hand, so painful it brings tears to his eyes. Gdit, Rin-chan, here he was trying to be soothing…]

[wheezes]…not strange boy's fault.

[Whoops.]

Take it easy... do I gotta go hunt down Yukio?

[waving her off. Stop that, he's not dying. Just let him breathe]

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-07-06 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Except that he kind of is.]

... he can help. Even if it ain't a cure, it's still better'n bein' constantly miserable. 'least you can probably react to the meds he's got better'n I can.
individuates: (*glance*)

[personal profile] individuates 2014-07-06 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[not yet!]

…they're not working for you?

[jeez, Rin-chan, no wonder you're at an eight]

…are they gonna make me sleep? I wanna find Seimei before I sleep...
hellpyre: (pic#6307895)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-07-07 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'unno, they really don't do anythin' for me at all. I've always been like that with medication...
individuates: (*wait*)

[personal profile] individuates 2014-07-07 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[frowning lightly]

Just… let me fix your hair, okay? [everything else can come after]

And no more making the strange boy laugh.

[carefully adjusts his position - you have no idea, Rin-chan - or perhaps you do - how hard it is for him to NOT settle down on your bed and just. Not. Move.]

[combs through her hair again and splits it into sections, weaving it together into a plait that sits over her shoulder. His arms feel weak and shaky, and his fingers won't quite comply, so he can't braid as neatly as usual, but it should hold. Or at least keep the worst of it off her face and the back of her neck]

…you need anything? Anything I can get?
hellpyre: (pic#6438745)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-07-07 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh she knows. It's quite admirable that he's managing to not do that.

But she's just going to keep quiet and let that little bit of pampering calm her enough that she actually feels somewhat restful.]


Mn... should probably try drinkin' some water.
individuates: (here I am)

[personal profile] individuates 2014-07-07 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
[good. You're lucky you caught Kaoru while he can still pamper. And he's glad that he can actually help you feel a bit better, even if he feels like hell himself]

[shifting carefully, but not quite making to rise - where is your water, Rin-chan?] Drink, then sleep. [a suppressed cough, a slight shiver] …all right?
hellpyre: (pic#7608481)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-07-07 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
Mn... mnhm. ... you're gonna go find Seimei-san?
individuates: (*glance*)

[personal profile] individuates 2014-07-07 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
[don't you 'mmm' at him in that vaguely-hedging manner, young lady. Is what he wants to convey with his raised eyebrow. Hydration and sleep are the things you need right now. No arguments]

…yeah. Need to sit with him. He... wasn't doing so well, when I came before. [though Kaoru doesn't imagine that the sight of him swanning - or more likely, slumping - through Seimei's sickroom doors, will make the onmyoji feel much better. At least not in the beginning. He certainly hopes it will be temporary, and that his presence will actually help.]

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-07-07 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
[But she'll only manage to get a little of one and none of the other. So there.]

I know. But... it'll be good to have you there with him, I think.
individuates: (surprised/consequences)

[personal profile] individuates 2014-07-07 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't want me getting sick. [he tries not to put any inflection into it, to try to spare his throat and chest] …now I am.

"Puppies" is just gonna be the start of it.
hellpyre: (pic#7348976)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-07-07 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't even supposed to get sick and now look where I'm at. None of this shoulda happened but it did and he better well realize that 'cause it's not like you did it on purpose!

[Whoops too much cough hack ow ow ow]
individuates: (surprise)

[personal profile] individuates 2014-07-07 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
[rubbing her back. Stop inflecting things, Rin-chan ;A;]

But he's going to think it's his fault...
hellpyre: (pic#6436002)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-07-07 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
[But you must know my proper feelings!]

Then he's a bigger idiot than I thought.
individuates: (*glance*)

[personal profile] individuates 2014-07-07 10:47 am (UTC)(link)
[a shallow sigh] …Hikaru made him promise to protect me. Never hurt me. Never let- [a slight pause there. The coast seems clear…] me get hurt.

I just… have this feeling. He'll see this as a failure. Even if it's not.
hellpyre: (pic#6307895)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-07-07 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Illness is somethin' none of us can help okay? Not even awesome amazin' doctors like Yukio. If Seimei-san can't see that I'll save up whatever energy I have and hit him myself.
individuates: (:) small smile)

[personal profile] individuates 2014-07-07 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
[another huff in lieu of actual laughter]

I'll... talk him round. Somehow.

Good luck on that...
individuates: (*wait*)

[personal profile] individuates 2014-07-09 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. He'll have to concede to me eventually.

[and there is your glass. He wants you to drink]

I know water is boring but...

[his hand is a little bit shaky but he's not about to drop it.]
hellpyre: (pic#6307895)

[personal profile] hellpyre 2014-07-10 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Sure sure you say that now but you're forgetting he's just as stubborn as the rest of us.

[Aw but water is so gross right now.

Then again everything is.]


Nn. Fine...
