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!

Comments

[That's... well it's not good, but it is good? Disappointed in himself means that he really is evaluating what he's done. Akira just hopes he's not beating himself up too much. He knew how people acted with too much guilt, he'd seen it again and again.

He didn't want to see Goro like that. It had to be a little bit easier, doing it naturally?]

I just hope he's doing okay. He keeps a lot bottled up, even around me. [Akira still felt privileged that Goro would share as much as he did with him.]

I don't intend on telling anyone else, not to worry. I don't... share much with others either, I guess. [He laughed a little at that, but it wasn't really a GOOD thing, was it? So much that his fellow thieves didn't know about. Both here and back in Tokyo. He was never one to overshare.]

[sleight_of_hand]

He will. He's got a lot to figure out, like what he's going to do with himself. That takes time, and unfortunately, he doesn't get to curl up in a prison cell for a few months to think about it.

[ Not that he was speaking from experience or anything. ]

[ He blew out a sigh at that last part, shaking his head. ]

I swear, if he wasn't such a goody two shoes, you two would probably be near identical. He didn't share much with other people either...

[ He paused, trailing off as he made a face. ]

One moment I see him fishing well into the night, the next I see him with a girl on his arm, the next he's punching out his best friend by the river, and then out again with a different girl... I still don't know what to make of that guy.

[crimeboy]

Nah, I got to be the one in a cell. [Akira laughed a little at that. It wasn't funny, though. He went to juvenile, and Goro... Akira was trying not to think about it. There was nothing he could do about it now, and he won't even remember if he ever goes back.]

That doesn't sound THAT much like me. I'm not going out with girls all the time.

And being not a goody-two-shoes is kind of my whole deal, don't you think? Well, maybe you don't really... I mean... [He snickered a little at that. Adachi knew he broke into his home the once because Yusuke asked him to, but he didn't really know the extent of it, did he?]

Maybe you'll hear about it someday. Here and now isn't the time or place. [Sitting in a hospital, he was not going to regale Adachi with tales of trailing Yakuza or working in a bar in Shinjuku, or any of his other Nasty Crime Boy shenanigans.]

[sleight_of_hand]

Oh, I'm sorry, you're going out with boys all the time. My mistake.

[ Adachi couldn't help the teasing smile, although that turned into a faint noise at the next part. ]

Eh... you mean when you guys were... you know?

[ He knew about Akechi going, because Yusuke got all pissy about him having all the information that had been on his pegboard now. He didn't know Akira was with him, but it made sense, all things considered. He shrugged. ]

Well, it's fine. There's always a lot of crap going on, so I'm not surprised by anything anymore.

[crimeboy]

[Akira didn't really know how to respond to that. Like... he could argue that he just didn't go out with people often. Not on like, dates. But he definitely hung out with people platonically, one-on-one.]

I like to think of myself as equal-opportunity. Boys and girls are both great and worth some smooching.

[Akira tilted his head at Adachi's... what was he saying? Akira isn't entirely certain what Adachi is referencing, but he could definitely talk to him about it in a non-public place sometime. He was a criminal, Adachi! That was what he did. Chaos Route.]

Remind me to tell you all about it later! I think it could be fun.

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi snorted at that, rolling his eyes. ]

Yeah sure; playboy.

[ Hunh, maybe he wasn't being specific enough. Well, either way, it was better they didn't blab about it, even in the hospital. Who even knew where Dooku had eyes and ears. ]

Yeah. In the usual place.

[crimeboy]

Well I'm a boy, and I like to play, so I guess I can't argue against that.

[The usual place. He knew where that was, at least. He figured it might be good for him to just... clear up sombre things. He had a feeling no one had yet. And he'd been meaning to talk to Adachi about some important stuff.]

I guess whenever would work. My hours are pretty flexible.
