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!

[Nnno this is still weird, and Yuri's still sort of worried about Yusuke needing to eat with whatever medicine he was given.]

You know I'll come right back. It's only going down to the first floor.

Omg so many typos make me go to bed

[lempereur]

[ Foiled! What an unbearable trauma. ]

...alright. I will wait right here.

[beautiful_monster]

[Yuri rolls his eyes with an amused sigh.]

I'll bring you some pizza. They've gotta have that.

[lempereur]

[ Yusuke is so amusing. So cute. Don't be upset! ]

Please hurry back.

[beautiful_monster]

Just don't move while I'm gone.

[He's super upset!! But getting Yusuke food lets him feel like he's doing something, so he's quick to hurry down to the cafeteria and return with a plate loaded with pizza and a few chips and cookies. May as well see how much food he can get into the scrawny artist.]

[lempereur]

[ He won't move, because pushing off from his chair would require a fair bit of effort and he's feeling kind of...slow. Which is particularly strange, for him. He doesn't like it. ]

Cookies, too? You spoil me.

[beautiful_monster]

Because you look like you hardly eat.

[He takes a seat next to him again and claims a bag of chips for himself, but the rest of the food is left for Yusuke.]

You need to eat enough while you're healing. Your body uses more energy to repair itself than it does normally.

[lempereur]

I eat better than I used to. Madarame provided the bare minimum, I am used to it.

[ His self-neglect isn't for a lack of appetite. Yusuke reaches for the plate and sets it down on his lap, his functional hand immediately going for the pizza. ]

I know I need to take care of myself. The doctors all said the same thing.

[beautiful_monster]

If that guy ever shows his face here, I'm gonna knock all of his teeth out of his head.

[In reality, he'd probably stop at giving the guy a black eye. He hates the man on Yusuke's behalf, but actually hurting someone is still a little beyond him, even then.]

How have you been eating since you got here? It can't be great if the doctors are still worrying about it.

[lempereur]

I understand the urge, but we stole his heart. If he were given the chance, I think it would be different.

[ At least...he might not have a mistress to spend all his money on while his handful of orphans live in poverty. ]

Daily, at least?

[beautiful_monster]

Maybe.

[Yuri, unfortunately, isn't so willing to forgive. Maybe after a black eye and a few weeks of being vicious and suspicious and—wait.]

Daily? It should be three times a day! With snacks!!

[lempereur]

[ Accepting is very different from forgiving. If Madarame were to show up here tomorrow, Yusuke would still want nothing to do with him, but at least then closure would be an option. It isn't now, at least not today. ]

I know what doctors recommend. But I've never done it. I used to go days without anything, as a child, when he was out on his trips. Who has the time to spare for that, anyway?

[beautiful_monster]

I'LL KILL HIM!!

[Look at this garbage child. He isn't even remotely ashamed of the looks his outburst draws—not even the handful of people who clearly heard the Fear effect in his tone. Those unfortunate few scurry away quickly.]

What kind of—fucking—! [Deep breaths!! Madarame isn't even here to murder. He has to focus on Yusuke!] Normal people have the time to spare! You're fucking malnourished if you seriously eat once a day! I'll show you how to make shakes and snacks you can keep with you if you're that fucking worried about wasting time eating.

[lempereur]

Yuri.

[ Having one arm immobilized sucks, he wants to do something to soothe his boyfriend's outrage, but he doesn't want to take the chance of him yelling even louder if he puts the pizza down. ]

It is a sensitive subject and you are making a scene. Will you please calm down?

[ Look, Yusuke is eating. Food into mouth. ]

[beautiful_monster]

[Yuri snorts, not entirely unlike an enraged bull. You know, if a bull were very tiny and precious and could yell loud enough to empty out a busy hospital hallway.]

I'll calm down when you finish eating.

[lempereur]

[ Okay, Yusuke will inhale this piece of pizza faster than he's ever eaten anything ever, which feels weird because he just took some very strong painkillers on an empty stomach, but it's worth it. How the Phantom Thieves get anything done with this starved twig as their heavy hitter is anyone's guess. ]

Are you satisfied?

[beautiful_monster]

[He should have eaten when he took them like a good patient!! Yuri has no sympathy.

That's a lie. He's extremely worried now.]

Yes. ...How do you not feel hungry all the time?

[lempereur]

I usually am. [ As he bites into a cookie because ok now that he's started maybe he is hungry. ] I learned how to distract myself from it.

[beautiful_monster]

[This time, instead of yelling, he takes a slow, deep breath. It's not like yelling now is going to do anything for Yusuke. It wouldn't even make Yuri feel better.]

You shouldn't. You can eat when you need to now.

[lempereur]

I know I can.

[ Intellectually, of course he knows that. He has a job, he can afford things other than art supplies, but it still feels like he should be saving it? For what, Yusuke doesn't know. It just feels weird. ]

I have to keep my strength up so my shoulder can heal. I know that.

[beautiful_monster]

And so you can actually have energy to support Futaba.

[Yuri might not be the best at interpersonal relationships, but even he can see the blatantly obvious motivations behind Yusuke's behavior right now.]

[lempereur]

You're right. I need to be here for Futaba...and you.

[ Yeah, he's pretty transparent. On the plus side, Yusuke is more likely to take care of himself for someone else's sake - whether it be to support Futaba or to stop Yuri from worrying - than for his own. He needs to be told it isn't fine, rarely will he come to that conclusion on his own. ]

[beautiful_monster]

Don't worry about me! I'm fine. You and Futaba are the ones that need taking care of now.

[Speaking of her— Yuri glances towards the room she's being tended to in, frowning sharply for a few long moments.]

Any idea how much longer they're going to be with her?

[lempereur]

You are not. You're upset.

[ Make that two frowns. In the ten, fifteen minutes he was gone, Yusuke still hadn't gotten any updates. ]

I have no idea. All I know is that she needs a blood transfusion.

[beautiful_monster]

I'm not hurt. You just have to deal with me worrying about you for a while.

[Wait—that is definitely not good news. Just how hurt was she?!]

Do you know what her type is?
