A weekend of healing...

[stringmods]

▼ A weekend of healing...

 

Who: Anyone
Where: The entire city
When: May 25th - May 27th
Summary: Two options: Either taken to the hospital to aid their healing, those affected by the strings are suddenly and violently free from their mixed memories. Otherwise, they can stay in their apartment, but they'll need help...
Warnings: That depends who is there. Remember to mark your titles clearly if any warnings need to be issued!

▼ In Leo Ward...

 

There was not much they could do but observe what was happening, as memories continued to mix between the Visitors, giving them visions of things they would rather not see. The Government did what they could, and offered them a stay at the hospital where, at least, they would be taken care of and less of a danger to others.

What no one expected was that, suddenly, everything would stop. Violently, the Strings snapped back into place, knocking not only the air and energy out of those affected, but damaging their mental state as well.

Left with just lingering small memories of that other person they had shared personal memories with, it would take a few days for everyone to heal.

And yet, some would remember not only that other person but strange little memories as well...perhaps it would be a good time to figure out what those meant with others...

Otherwise, it was going to be a few days of being completely drained of energy, making even using the comp a challenge for tired hands and sore muscles. Many would sleep for a full day, finally enjoying a quiet sleep for the first time in eleven days. For others...well nothing but watching tv and hospital food, one supposes.

But who could have caused this? Perhaps the clues were already in place...

[Akane might have had a slightly easier time this past week than certain others, but that doesn't mean she was unaffected. Some of those memories were far outside the experiences of a child. And she never had found the person whose memories she'd gotten. Then again, maybe they were brought to the hospital as well...


The first day, she spends most of her time sleeping, too exhausted to do much else. But the second days has her up and about, poking her head into different rooms and generally being a nuisance to the staff with her wandering around.]

[She'll find Judas in his hospital room on the second day, attempting to calm himself by watching television. It's quickly obvious that it isn't holding his attention, however, as he turns to her as soon as she walks in.]

Akane. You're all right?

Open!

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She smiles brightly, relieved to have found a familiar face.]

Judas-nii-chan!

[She moves over to his bedside, pulling herself up to sit on the side of the bed.]

I'm okay, the headaches are gone now. How about you?

[silvercoins]

[Give him a second, he's still recovering from that shock. He'd been living in Japan so he knows exactly what she means.]

N-niichan?

[blessed_by_the_world]

[She frowns, suddenly uncertain. Is she being too friendly?]

Is that.... not okay?

[silvercoins]

I-it's okay. It's... actually, it's really nice.

[The earnest smile on his face confirms that.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

[Her face lights up and she scoots closer to him.]

Hey, know what? This whole week was really tough, so I was thinking that when they let me leave the hospital I'm gonna go do something fun.

You should come with me!

[Regretting being surrogate big brother yet?]

[silvercoins]

What were you thinking of doing?

[Almost starting to.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

Um, I was thinking of maybe going to see some of the art galleries in the Scorpio district. Do you like art?

[She is very hasty to add to that though.]

But we could do something else instead! Anything is fine...

[She doesn't have a lot of friends...]

[silvercoins]

I like art. And I'd like to go see some with you, if that's what you want.

[Neither does he.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

Me too! I used to take a painting class after school. It was fun.

[silvercoins]

What did you like to paint?

[blessed_by_the_world]

All kinds of things! But mostly... my family. And my friends...

[Her smile turns bittersweet and she looks away. There's a lot of underlying issues there.]

[silvercoins]

Well... I suppose it'd be egotistical to say this, but if you'd like to, you could paint me - after all, we're friends.

[blessed_by_the_world]

R- really? I gave up painting a while ago, but... lately I've been thinking about starting again.

You really wouldn't mind?

[silvercoins]

Not one bit.

[blessed_by_the_world]

Then... I'd like to. I mean, I don't know if it'll be any good, but I'll do my best!

[She's excited about this now.]

[silvercoins]

I'm sure it'll be the best painting I've ever had done of me.

[He's had a lot of classical paintings of him - he doesn't like to look at those much. They're not very flattering.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

I don't know about that. I'm still just an amateur after all.

[She doesn't want him to be disappointed when he sees it.]

[silvercoins]

But it will mean a lot.

[blessed_by_the_world]

Right!

[She agrees with that. Because she'll be painting it for a precious friend.]

I'll call you when I have paints and everything all ready and you can come over and pose for me. Okay, Nii-chan?

[silvercoins]

Thank you, Akane-chan. I'll hurry right on over.

[And he will.]

[blessed_by_the_world]

Great! I have some of my painting stuff from home, but I'll still have to go out and get a few things.

[silvercoins]

It'll be fun to see you, of course.

[blessed_by_the_world]

[That brings a decidedly pleased smile to her face.]

Thanks! I like hanging out with you too!
