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?

Mnn...

[As okay as she's going to be. There's a slow nod, though, eyes closed as her labored breathing evens out somewhat.]

Everythin' hurts...

[Yukio nods in return, a deep crease forming between his brows as he carefully lowers his sister back to the bed.]

I know. Did the last painkiller I gave you help at all?

Not... really. A little? I'unno, I may've slept through anythin' it did for me...

[It's possible, but Yukio's not convinced. That was the strongest painkiller he had on hand.]

... It's been long enough that we can try another dose of you want, but I don't know how much good it will do.

[This would be a good moment to curse Rin's metabolism.]

Better'n nothin'. ... unless you think it's gonna be too much medication? I mean, you're the doctor here. ... mostly.
doctor_dragoon: (what did you say?)

[Though her immune system is asleep at the wheel, her metabolism is still running a full efficiency. Of course.

He shakes his head. Rin overdosing is the last thing he's worried about.]


Medication isn't a problem with you.

[Of course. Why would any of this be easy?]

Not like I ever need it normally...
doctor_dragoon: (what a shitty mall)

It might work better if I could put you on a steady drip, but I don't have the supplies for that...

Guess it's too much to ask for this place to have modern medicine crap, huh?

[Nothing that can be done about it now, though, and she just sinks back down in to the bed with an exhausted groan.]

Just gimmie whatever might help even a little...
