an excuse to use his one sad icon aka Hospital recovery

[glitchinthesystem]

WHO:Glitch + you, probably just cr though
WHERE: De Chima Hospital
WHEN: A week to two weeks depending on healing after swear in
WHAT: Glitch's recovering from gassing/injuries. Fun times.
WARNINGS: Hallucination leftovers and general mopey behaviour.

[ Glitch had been rendered unconscious during his own tiny rampage of fear gassing at the swear in. For the first two days, the doctors advise against visitors due to Glitch still not having all of the drug out of his system. He lashed out at several nurses to the point they had to strap a nullifier on him so he wouldn't go attempting to electrocute them again.

Day three and onwards however? Glitch is faring better. Physically, anyways. He can have visitors now, but, during some of his episodes now he requires to have a blindfold on hand. For the off chance the hallucinations spike again. On the day of his beginning lucidity he sends out a mass text to his friends (yes, surprisingly he has those) where he is.

Entering the room, Glitch looks even skinnier than he usually does. Face sickly and sweaty and his eyes show signs of not sleeping well. He faces the window not paying much attention to his surroundings looking hollow and dead eyed. The things he saw still stick to his brain like some kind of leech, draining away at any of his energy. The things he did still are a blur to him.

Maybe talking would help. ]

[ Wow, that's rude, Kaneda.

There's an arc of his brow at the sudden bluntness, but Glitch just laughs a bit. ]

Thanks, man. You look pretty shitty yourself. [ Said with the most sarcastic but lighthearted tones one could muster after fearaplaooza. However, Glitch catches sight of outside food and his eyes widen. Slowly pointing to it like it's some kind of gift from the heavens now. ]

Is that...real food?

[rassera]

[He splashes a smile across his face, glad that it got a laugh out of him at the very least.]

That's what happens when you're beaten to hell and back. Still can't stop me from staying out of bed, though.

[But at the finger point, he holds it up, almost teasingly.] What, this?

Well...~ It was for some poor asshole stuck in this hellhole. But I can't seem to find him.

[glitchinthesystem]

Jesus, what kind of shit are you taking if you took that kind of beating and still can move around? I took the same fucking trip and well, the results.

[ Gestruing to the lovely, sterile bed he's in. It can be yours too if you were as unlucky as Glitch.

Kaneda is getting a squinty eyed look, hands may be moving to pillows to throw if the teasing keeps up.]

So, instead you're gonna share it with your new best friend, right?

[rassera]

I'm too stubborn, Glitch. One of my issues.

[And five healers. It helps knowing a shit ton of people that can buffer the blows.

He sees those hands moving, sauntering in and putting the bag on the little table in front of him.]

Well, if he shows up you might have to fight him for it, but I don't see why not, yeah?

[Now he'll just...grab a chair and collapse into it. Even with the healing, he still gets worn down easily.]

[glitchinthesystem]

Then can you give me some of that? Maybe I'd still look pretty.

[ Man, if only he had five healers. ]

Would your friend beat up an injured guy over food? But, if he's your friend, I'm gonna guess maybe.

[ Lalala, reaching for that food and he's just gonna dig right in. Hello face stuffing! ]

So, what happened after everything went down? I kind of blacked out. [ that might've been said between mouthfuls. ]

[rassera]

Heh, pretty wrecked, you mean!

[He lucked out. Durability is great but it's no invincibility. Granted, he'd have still lived. Just much more painfully.]

[Kaneda makes a little face at that comment though, as he pulls up a chair to flop down in it. Despite everything, three visits to a hospital was draining mentally.]

Depends on when you blacked out, you know? What's the last you remember?

[glitchinthesystem]

Aw, fuck you, Wheels.

[ There goes the pillow. Right to your face. Have fun.

He swallows his food, making a small sigh of satisfaction. Oh god, real food and this is the realest of real.

Glitch just shrugs at the question. ]

I was kind of fucking nuts, so I don't remember. I know some lady got me and things kind of got clearer and then, I unno, maybe I passed out?

Just tell me they caught the dick. [ That's what he's concerned about. ]

[rassera]

[He's about to laugh, but the pillow being forcibly inserted into his face stops that, a blank face as it falls to the ground.

You got him.]

Well.

[Arms go back to slumping on that chair.]

They didn't. He even gloated about it, the pompous ass.

[glitchinthesystem]

[ Glitch's face instantly sours at hearing that bit. ]

Fuuuuun. Do me a favour. If you find him before I'm out of here gouge one of his eyes out for me or at the very least punch him in the dick.

[rassera]

Trust me.

[He smiles, trying to get Glitch to at least wipe that face off. It doesn't suit you, bro.]

I'll fit one for you in when I get ahold of him.

[glitchinthesystem]

[ Do you even know him, Kaneda? Sour is his constant form of living. Thankfully, he manages a smirk from Kaneda's promise. ]

Deal. Just don't get yourself killed when you do.

[rassera]

[There we go. See? That's a way better look for you, bud. And his own matches it.]

Someone's got no faith in me, I see.

[glitchinthesystem]

Please, I got plenty of faith in you. The whole cliche friends never give up friends bit is in there with a mix of concern.

[ Since, you know, these idiots were dumb enough to actually escape the cops...

or maybe that's smart. ]

[rassera]

Aw, now you're concerned. You sure you didn't hit your head a little too hard?

[It's nice, though. Hearing that.

Even if he's playing it up.]

[glitchinthesystem]

Oh my god, shut the fuck up, Kaneda. You're as bad as Torch if she were here.

[ he probably shouldn't have said that

if only because of Kaneda's hormones. ]

[rassera]

Yeah? That a compliment or not?

[Because if it is, he'll take it.]

[glitchinthesystem]

It's a compliment even if it's a sad excuse for one.

[rassera]

But still a compliment.

[Oh look, that's a finger gun and a tongue click.]

[glitchinthesystem]

[ and there comes the second pillow he'll be swinging at your face. ]
