It must have been something you said

[codeoracle]

WHO: Futaba, anyone from the Heaven Scent Infiltration that would be Concerned, Yusuke, Adachi, Akira, Akechi, Makoto, Skater Fam--and whatever part of the circus they drag in. Basically open?
WHERE: A Hospital in Scenic De Chima
WHEN: Late August 15th through Release on August 18th
WHAT: Futaba made a near fatal error, there are consequences
WARNINGS: Bodily injury, blood, things with hospitals, possible cursing considering. Will add more as they come up.



1. Arrival | No Futaba communication; play out as thou wilt

[Anyone that arrives soon after communication from Yusuke or Adachi will find chaos with nurses and doctors moving in and out of unit that must be Futaba's. There are worried, pinched faces and they are being kept from the room itself while they work. If you're looking for answers you'll have to find Yusuke or Adachi--the medics aren't going to spare time in the moment.]

2. Early Morning Wake Up Call

[Following what must have been a very stressful night, the wee hours of the morning of the 16th see Futaba finally coming around. She's still out of it, brain fuzzy and tired, her body covered in bandages and bruises. Someone might want to keep her from trying to haphazardly sit up at first. For anyone still hanging around, visitor hours be damned.]

What--uhm why does everyone look like someone died?

3. Visiting Hours (And after hours for all those crime boys I guess)

[You might find yourself coming in and out throughout the day after Futaba comes to on the 16th. She's laid up to rest, not due to be evaluated for release until the 18th at the earliest. If you weren't on the list of those immediately contacted this might be the first time you're able to make it up to De Chima to see her--or you might be coming back to see her without crowds of people.

It's a 50/50 shot on whether or not Futaba is awake when guests arrive, but she'll come to readily enough--even if she feels like sleeping for a month after the ordeal she's been through.]

Wild Card

[Something not suiting you? Want to throw something at me but want to run it by first? Then this is for you! Feel free to just toss something up...or to hit me up at likeredgold to hash it out!

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Arrival | Open ]
[ Adachi was leaning up against the wall, trying not to tap his foot against the floor as he stared at his communicator. He was pretty sure he had sent out messages to everyone he could think to message about this, but he wasn't so sure about coherency, or if he was even going to get responses. Not because it was coming from him, though; he could just picture Akira dropping what he was doing and running full tilt the whole way to the hospital. ]

[ So he stood there. And he waited. Struggling not to fidget until either someone other than Yusuke showed up, or a doctor came out to let them know what was up. ]

[ Visiting Hours | Futaba ]
[ It was a few days after Futaba woke up before Adachi managed to come back, Riza-chan happily trotting along on her leash. He had managed to convince a nurse that she was a therapy dog in training -- which... was actually the truth -- something he was grateful for, because he was sure she would help Futaba feel better too. ]

[ He poked his head in her room, trying to peer over at her bed. At his feet, Riza-chan was doing the same, her tail wagging back and forth happily. ]

Futaba-chan~?

Arrival

[crimeboy]

[He wasn't completely wrong, really.

Once Akira had gotten the message, he did take off. He had to let his boss know first, but he managed to get out of work for it, and he definitely ran in through the hospital doors. Good god though, it was a long run from Nonah, and Akira was huffing from the exertion.

He hadn't even taken off his work clothes, though he'd left his apron at the shop, and he approached Adachi just as soon as he saw him.]

Ok. [HUFF.]

Ok. Tell me what happened. She's... alright, right?

[I mean as alright as someone could be while they were in the hospital. Like, not in danger of dying, was really the question here.]

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi managed a pained smile, glad to see Akira. He kind of looked like he felt, really; he really wanted to panic and freak out right now himself, but he had to be the adult. He hated that so much right now. ]

We don't know yet. They haven't come out since they took her in.

[codeoracle]

[Apparently nurses don't like when injured patients try to force themselves up in bed--so when Adachi arrives she's propped up with several pillows and someone has obviously adjusted her bed so she can be "sitting" without pulling herself up into the position.

She perks up at the arrival of a vistor--though the presence of a "dog" has her a bit hesitant.]

How did you get that in?

[sleight_of_hand]

[ As soon as Riza-chan was acknowledged, she tried to zoom into the room, practically dragging Adachi along with her. He let out a grunt, managing to hold her back with her leash and close the door first, before going over to pull up a chair by Futaba. ]

Told them the truth; she was a therapy dog in training.

[ He dipped down a bit, picking her up and setting her on his lap. Riza-chan planted her paws on the rail for the bed, like now Futaba was obligated to pet her. ]

How've you been holding up?

[beautiful_monster]

Arrival - Open
[Yuri arrives at the hospital in near records time with a frantic energy about him. His hair is windswept, and he looks like he may have just rolled directly out of bed to race here judging by the rumpled state of his clothes. And the fact that they're definitely pajamas.]

Where is she?!

Visiting Hours - Futaba
[Later in the morning the door to Futaba's room bursts open—halfway, before Yuri remembers that maybe she doesn't want someone rushing in on her out of nowhere. There's a much more hesitant knock then, and a very concerned voice calling into the room.]

Hey... Are you still awake?

[lempereur]

[ Yusuke called him. Of course. He didn't mention his own broken nose, now bandaged, or the fracture in his left shoulder that put his arm in a sling. Not out of any desire to hide it, of course, but Futaba was worse off, it just didn't seem important.

Yuri's voice is a relief, but he still frowns through the concussed pounding in his head, even as he reaches for him. He really should be resting, himself, but instead he's pacing, the reminder that his feet are touching the ground keeping him from losing it entirely. ]

She's in there. They won't let me in or tell me anything.

[beautiful_monster]

[The sound Yuri makes when he spots him is a small and pained noise. He reaches out just as Yusuke does, catching the other boy's hand in his and squeezing in a tight and shaking grip.]

What happened to you?

[codeoracle]

[If it wasn't for the fact that laughter was painful right now, she would have laughed at the attempt at an entrance. Classic Yuri--and she could definitely use the dose of normalcy he tended to bring in the wake of their insanity.]

You can come in Yuri. I'm up.

[beautiful_monster]

[The door slams open the rest of the way, and Yuri darts inside before it can rebound off the wall and catch him. It only takes a few seconds for him to get to her bedside so he can give her a close look to assess how hurt she ismdash;what he can see of her, anyway.]

Futaba! What happened? How bad..... Are you okay?

Visiting(After) Hours

[crimeboy]

[In true Akira fashion, once he could be certain that Futaba was alright(relatively), he would have to come visit her at night, by breaking in a little. It was surprisingly easy to break in to a hospital? Huh.

He'd come in earlier, having been contacted quickly, but he wasn't really able to see her or do much in the ensuing chaos, so now would have to do for actually getting to see her. Hopefully he wasn't disturbing her rest too much when he showed up in his Joker getup, with a lunchbox in tow.]

Hey there, Futaba. [He kept his voice low, not actually intending to wake her up if she wasn't going to stir on her own, just... coming in and dropping that lunchbox off at her bedside table.]

I made it just like Sojiro taught me to. [No extra 'love' this time. Probably for the best, since he did tend to make it ridiculously spicy when left to his own devices. Might not be the best when Futaba is recovering. Besides, Sojiro made it this way specifically for Futaba.]

I can probably pop into the cafeteria and borrow a microwave if I need to.

[codeoracle]

[Futaba is actually pretty much out like a light when Akira first slinks into her room, curled up with a giant plushie that one of her visitors obviously brought in for her sometime in the period of her stint in the hospital.

Still, hospitals are different than the comfort of her room, and where she would normally be a heavy sleeper her sleep is light and easily disturbed--especially since some of her meds had begun to wear off again. She stirs, shifting on the bed, hissing when that causes a slight discomfort and sting of pain. She blinks wearily into the darkness, reaching for her glasses to see just who had come in at this hour--a doctor, nurse...nope, Joker.]

Did you really break in to a hospital to come back and see me?

[crimeboy]

[He smiles as he hears her voice. He'd been in a state himself earlier, and didn't really want her seeing him like that, and there were a surprising amount of visitors. Well, not that surprising. Akira wasn't surprised in the least to see that she was well-loved.]

Yeah.

[He laughed a little, moving to take a seat in a chair nearby.]

You know, it's actually pretty difficult to break into a hospital? I needed to brush up on it anyway.

... brought you some curry.

[lempereur]

arrival;

[ Yusuke, as he often is, is in a state. That state tonight is extreme anxiety, as he paces back and forth through the waiting room until someone, anyone, comes back with some answers. He had barely allowed anyone to tend to his own injuries, a broken nose and fracture in his shoulder that had his arm uselessly tied up in a sling.

His right hand still works enough to text anyone who might know Futaba enough to care, which is pretty much everyone she knows because how could you not?? When familiar faces start arriving, he smiles weakly at them, but is too exhausted to begin the explanations unless asked. ]

wake up gremlin!!!;

[ Once she's stable, and the doctors finally let him in to sit by Futaba's side, that is where he stays. He leaves for nothing but to refill his coffee, to the displeasure of some of the hospital staff who are understandably hesitant to physically force a tired and frustrated imPort to leave when asking nicely clearly isn't cutting it.

Yusuke is about to pass out in his chair, slumped over on his good arm, when he sees movement out of the corner of his eye. ]

Futaba? Can you hear me?

or whatever;

[ He'll be here the whole time, anyway. Hit me with any prompt, any thang. ]

Arrival

[andtherevolution]

[Utena's on her way as soon as she gets the message, and she makes a beeline towards Yusuke as soon as she sees him. She's about to demand answers but she stops herself once she gets a better look at him. Even if he's not the one in the hospital bed, he still doesn't look like he's doing too great himself.]

Yusuke... what happened to you two?

[lempereur]

We...got in a fight.

[ He's a little slow. Definitely has a concussion. Definitely should sit down. ]

Not with each other. It was a beast woman.

Wake up, get up, get out there

[codeoracle]

I can hear you.

[It's a tired reply, but she manages to angle toward him and offer a slight smile. She reaches out and fumbles for her glasses, thankful to find that whoever her nurses and doctors had been, they had the mind to put them within reach. It's better to be able to see.]

Are you--[To ask him if he was okay would have been stupid, it's obvious that he hadn't exactly put his injuries up as any kind of priority--surely the doctors had tried to treat him at some point though.] How long have you been here?

arrival

[bypasser]

[Otabek gets to the hospital in De Chima as quickly as he can. It's still not fast enough to keep the anxiety at bay. If.. he practiced with his abilities, he could have arrived already. He could have possibly done something to help, even though he doesn't know what happened yet. When he sees Yusuke, alone in a waiting room, face bruised and arm in a sling, he strides over.

He might look angry, but he's only a little bit. Mostly concerned and upset, which all makes him appear to be pissed off instead.]

Are you alright? What happened?

[Stopping in front of him, he stretches up on his toes and gently cups the sides of Yusuke's face, tipping his head back to look him over.]

arrival

[crimeboy]

[Akira doesn't really manage a smile back. He was pretty worried, and had definitely run all the way from the cafe in Nonah in order to get here. Coming in to hearing Futaba needed a blood transfusion and seeing Yusuke looking pretty battered didn't help anything.

Akira approached him as soon as he could, looking him over. They'd never gotten injuries like this before. It was so strange. Shadows had simply not... hurt them like this.]

Yusuke... I'm glad to see you're still standing.

[He'd heard very little about what happened from Adachi, but he just didn't know how much use it could be to know more other than to make him fret. There was no point in placing blame or anything anyway.]

I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you two.

Visiting hours, Futaba

[andtherevolution]

[Utena's not sure how much Futaba likes flowers, but... that's what you do when people who are hurt or sick, right? You bring them flowers. So Utena takes a deep breath and opens the door, holding a bouquet of brightly colored daisies in her hands. They seemed more... her than a bouquet of roses.]

Futaba?

[She steps inside carefully and tries her best to keep her voice low, just in case Futaba's still sleeping.]

[codeoracle]

[Futaba's sleep had been off and on most of the day, mostly dictated by rounds of medication more than the draw of actual exhausting. Utena's lucky to come waltzing in during an unmedicated period. She's uncomfortable but being uncomfortable was preferable to missing out on every visitor that came to her room.

The daisies that came in with Utena was a nice surprise, though. And one that earns a bright smile.]

Hi, Utena.

Visiting Hours, backdated to just before her release

[dun_moch]

[The flowers the Count brings Futaba are not the regular kind that can be purchased at the hospital's lobby shop. They are a deep purple- almost black, in fact. Nonetheless, they look lovely, and Count Dooku sets them by her bed with a look of grave concern on his old face.]

Hello. When I heard you had been injured in our mission, I knew I had to pay my respects.

[He looks at her bandaged body, taking in the injuries.]

You have shown great courage, Futaba.

[codeoracle]

[The visit shouldn't have been wholly unexpected, but it was. The presence of Dooku in her room had Futaba sitting up a bit straighter--at least the wince of pain could hide her panic well enough. She hadn't planned to be faced with him alone.]

I...thank you. Careless courage tends to be a specialty among me and my friends...

[Oh good, she could still be a bit snarky. Good to know that could exist while in pain and through panic.]

You didn't really need to come all this way to see me...

Backdated as fuck because I'm late. And didn't even bring Starbucks.

[ridewithdestiny]

[ Arrival | Open ]

[ Makoto arrived as fast as she could, running through the hospital until she reached what had to be Futaba's door. ]

What happened? I received a text saying Futaba had been hurt.

[ Visiting Hours | Futaba ]

[ Makoto was asleep in the chair next to Futaba's bed. She had arrived after visiting hours, but instead of waiting, she'd decided to just make her way to Futaba's room. The younger girl had been asleep when she arrived, and Makoto hadn't wanted to wake her, so she'd settled into a chair and apparently fallen asleep. Oops?

So here she'll remain until someone wakes her up. ]

Visiting hours; obviously

[codeoracle]

[Futaba is out for a few more hours before she stirs--and spies Makoto in one of the chairs at her bedside. Oh. Oh no--she probably worried their battle mom more than anyone.]

Makoto?

[She whispers, trying to wake the other girl.]
