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!)

[Easier said than done, bro. He understands what Colin's trying to do, and he appreciates it. Really, he does, but they cut things way too close for comfort.]

Colin-san, we had patients with no more than twenty-four hours left by the time the cure was brought back. If that.

[No one was saying it while people were still sick, of course, but he knows what dying looks like, and he's sure Colin does too.]

And if the cure hadn't come back, I'd have started cheating. Wouldn't have been pleasant, but I have confidence it would have given us a bit more time.

Besides, those 24 hours have now passed, and we haven't lost anyone. Focus on what could have happened, and you'll get mired there.

You wanna make things better for us? Start thinking about what we can do in the future. You're gonna be our doctor.

And lucky for you, I can build you just about anything you think we need. ANYTHING.

In the meantime? You find a way to relax, because if you keep stressing, you're gonna make yourself sick. And after a plague, that would just be embarrassing.

[Cheating? He's going to have to ask Colin just how that works later.

Yukio sighs and looks down at Oshawott, patting the little Pokemon's head lightly. He's going to be the doctor for the Bastion. No pressure, right? Makes it a little hard to relax, but Colin's right.]

I guess I have some reading to do. [A lot of reading.] Later.

[freedom_engineer]

[There's a reason people have compared him to a mad scientist, Yukio. You'll learn that, with time.]

Later, indeed. And you won't be alone. For better or for worse, it looks like I'm the one here with the second highest amount of medical training. We're likely to be study buddies.

[Have a smirk, Yukio.]

You gonna be okay? ... Need a hug? You've worked yourself to the bone here, and I bet you haven't let yourself have any comfort just yet...

[doctor_dragoon]

[It's going to be an interesting ride.

Yukio looks up and smiles a little, shaking his head.]

I'll be alright. I just need to rest.

[freedom_engineer]

All right.

[Colin gives Yukio and a smile, and steps away from the bed.]

Get some rest.

Oshawott? If he tries to get up any time in the next hour, sit on his chest and look cute at him.

[doctor_dragoon]

[Oshawott gives another resolute nod and wiggles his bottom further into Yukio's lap. Yuki just sighs and pats his head again.

He doesn't plan on sleeping for more than an hour or so... but what he plans and what's going to happen are two different things.]
