Day 203 | The sick are recovering! (Open)

[freedom_engineer]

WHO: Colin, any recovering folks, any visitors.
OPEN: Open like a door
WHEN: Day 203 (BACKDATED)
WHAT: The cure has been found and administered. Check up on the sick, why don't you?
WHERE: The hospital
FORMAT: However you want, go nuts
WARNINGS: Recovering people, probable sass, and of course, Colin.



After six days of paranoia, and three days of absolute terror, things were finally looking up. A cure had been delivered, and with it, the calamity survivors had been able to synthesize more than enough doses of cure for the plague to safeguard the Bastion. It had been administered to the sick, and now all that was needed was to make sure that everyone recovered.

Colin, of course, was going to be visiting everyone to make sure that there weren't any complications. It wouldn't do to have anyone in danger after they'd made it through to the end. He had yet to take off his environmental suit though, his own paranoia was significant.

(OOC: I figure this will be a good opportunity for people to do a little more mingling, and get their bearings after the plague. The quarantine has been lifted, though Colin still wants people washing their hands frequently. If you want Colin to check up on the sick, he can do that! If you want someone else to check up on the sick, by all means! The threat is passed, now rejoice, hug your sick loved ones, and let's move on!)

open to anyone

[dontyoujustwish]

[Now that being infected comes with a more solid assurance of not dying from it, Anya is perfectly happy to play nurse for the recovering sick people. Surely they must appreciate her bright smile and words of comfort after their ordeal.

Anyone she checks in on is liable to receive an awkward shoulder pat and some variation of:]

It's good that you aren't dead yet.

[croceamors]

Are you only saying that because if I died, you'd have to find someone else to take to bed?

[Squint. Saix isn't the worst of the patients by far, and with the cure gotten, well, he's certainly recovering and not as bad as he could be. Still not in his usual top shape, however, which is why he's still laying down in bed.]</

[dontyoujustwish]

I think I would probably miss you as a person, too.

[Probably.]

How are you feeling?

[gianthobo]

[Well, the shoulder pat might have to be just an arm pat. AZ looks over at her and smiles slightly.]

It'll take more than that to kill me.

[dontyoujustwish]

[Wow this is a large man. Maybe that should have been a butt pat.]

You never know. Even immortality can sometimes just be snatched away from you.

[four_quarts]

[Well, he was never actually sick and had only decided to take a nap since taking care of sick people is hard, but the sentiment is appreciated. Although...]

Depending on who you ask, your sentiments may be a bit late.

[dontyoujustwish]

You, too?

Is that where the eye thing came from?

[freedom_engineer]

[And would you look at that? Even with the cure delivered throughout the hospital, Colin is still making the rounds. You'd think he was worried for everyone's health or something! He's sticking his head into rooms, taking quick scans of people, and trying not to be too intrusive. Everyone here needs their rest after what they've been through. But surely, not everyone is asleep, are they?]

[fuckthemancers]

[One of the first things Colin notices is that there is a Cubone on top of a Rattle-tail standing in front of the door. As is now custom, probably, she waves her little club at him.]

[Zulf is there too, seated on the bed with the smallest of the Rattle-tails on his laps and another two really hogging up the rest of the bedspace. He looks up when the door opens, brow furrowed. The first thing out of his mouth?]

Is it working?

[freedom_engineer]

[Colin gives a little cower for Cubone's benefit, and he stays back. She deserves to think that she's scary.]

It seems to be, yes. Fevers have broken, people are resting. Lots of exhaustion, lots of hunger, LOTS of thirst. But most importantly, people are actually sleeping peacefully.

[He gives Zulf a grin, still keeping his distance.]

[gianthobo]

[AZ is up. And by 'up' the narration means up, as in attempting to head towards the door when Colin walks in. He's still in his makeshift hospital gown of bedsheets, and he's favoring his good leg, but he's up.]

[... He still looks flushed and unsteady, and his scan reveals that he's definitely too sick to be doing what he's doing. The redness in his cheeks deepens when he realizes who's at the door, and looks a lot like a kid caught trying to sneak out of the house.]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Watch where you're sticking your head or you're going to end up accidentally headbutting someone. Yukio very nearly becomes that someone, only barely avoiding smacking into Colin on his way out of a patient's room when Oshawott (trailing by Yukio's heel) looses a sudden loud squeak of surprise. It's lucky that Yuki's got his new companion watching out for him, really, because he's far from his best at the moment. Days of work, worry, and little sleep have left the Bastion's teenage sort-of-doctor pretty drained, and it shows on his face and in his posture.]

... I'm sorry, Colin-san. I didn't see you.

open!

[hellpyre]

[The continued coughing sure was a pain in the ass, but not feeling like death warmed over was fucking fantastic in comparison.

Rin is still in bed (actually behaving for once, gasp) sitting up with a Tepig sleeping on her lap and a data pad in her hands. She continues to cough every so often which is hell on her voice and her throat, but the color has returned to her skin and any concern of her giving in to death has all but gone, thankfully.]

[freedom_engineer]

[And would you look at that? There's that annoying pest that's been forcing her to do things like drink, and bathe, and all sorts of other junk. How dare he stick his head in?]

Ah, you're awake. I was thinking you'd probably be trying to get some sleep right about now.

How're you feeling, Rin?

[spiria]

[ She'd been in and out of Rin's hospital room several times throughout the entire plague ordeal, since she was taking care of people, but it was really nice to finally see improvement in her and in all of the other patients. So, when Kohaku arrives to Rin's room today and sees she's doing better, she's smiling brightly. ]

Better now, I take it?

[ Oh, and she has some lunch for her. Probably not anything that's up to Rin's standards of food, but it's something. ]

[daughterofursa]

[It's the first time Zuko has seen Rin since learning she was sick, so she doesn't know how bad she might have looked before, but no, she doesn't look like she's dying. Just sick.]

Hey.

How are you doing?

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio comes in a while after Colin's visit, looking rather more rested than he did the last time he poked his head in. Colin just might've had something to do with that (because who else would force Mr. Serious to take a nap?), but Yuki's not going to mention anything.

Less visible since he's being deprived of his head perch for the moment, Oshawott's marching in front of Yukio, making quiet little 'Wott-wott-wott' noises with each step and looking quite pleased with himself. He might've had a little something to do with Yukio getting a proper rest too, and he's pretty happy with his success.]

How's your throat, Neesan?

Open!

[notduchess]

[ Resting after spending the last couple days in a sleep-fever lay-in-bed mess? Why would the knight ever do that.

Duke is currently sitting on the edge of the bed, looking over the now marked up whiteboard. It looks like a lot of sharp handwriting in a big math formula. ]

.. Might need another color... [ There's still a blanket about Duke's shoulders, and it seems to be there to catch coughing right now. ]

[freedom_engineer]

Among other things.

[Why look, it's that pest who's been making unreasonable demands in the name of keeping you alive.]

How are you feeling, Duke?

Open

[gianthobo]

[AZ is one of those who caught the plague late, and so even with the vaccine he's still going through some of the worse stages of it. Even with that, though, he can occasionally be found wandering around in a sort of bedsheet toga, since the regular hospital gowns don't fit him.]

[When he's not being horribly irresponsible, he's resting in bed, sometimes with his eyes open and sometimes not. He's incredibly bored, but there's not really a lot he can do about it.]

[ourlegends]

[ Hilda's been coming to the hospital frequently to help take care of AZ, and that's why she was here again today. Things looked like they were getting better, but she was still worrying herself over her father figure.

So when she sees him up and wandering around, she can't help but mother hen a little more. ]

Are you sure you should be walking around?

open! and handwaving some sickness stuff that i didnt get to thread out

[blackblooded]

Of course there are complications with Crona. Crona wouldn't be Crona if things went easily. Ragnarok had gotten sick first, and the virus had spread throughout Crona's body, which meant sepsis, and a very real threat of death.

The fever and inflammation are mostly under control, for now. Crona's still running a low-grade fever, and still somewhat out of it mentally, but the main danger has passed. Crona's supposed to be on bed rest for the next week or so, but right now the bed is empty and Crona is curled up in a corner behind the door.

[findsrisks]

That proves to be a problem, when Nanaki comes to visit Crona. Because instead of finding Crona in bed, she finds nothing but pulled back sheets.

"Eh? Is this the right room?"

She steps back out and checks the number on the door. Then she steps back in, looking more confused than before. "Maybe Crona's in the bathroom or something?"

She's standing there, deciding if she should come in and wait (and find Crona behind the door) or just come back later.

[yinyangfox]

He's sleeping in his room, sleeping. Finally. The fever having broken means no searing internal baking. His organs no longer aflame, his brain no longer melting? Absolute bliss. He wouldn't die, they said. The cure was administered and everyone would survive, including Kaoru.

So sleeping seemed like the thing to do. Face down and sprawled out due to utter exhaustion. When you had such a brush with death and complete loss as all that, who cared about looks fancy and behaving regally? No, not right now. Right now he was just collapsed on the bed, snoring unattractively in a pile of linens and matted hair.

Colin comes in to check on Seimei, as he has been doing with every patient. He wasn't planning on waking Seimei, either. Just take a couple of quick scans and get out.

But it turns out that when you've been sleeping so sloppily, you can knock some blankets around. And when Colin comes around the bed, his foot catches on a blanket, and he stumbles in a picture of complete gracelessness.

And a rather undignified yelp.
