recovery
Who: Takakage and a couple of people. Semi-open; if you want to jump in, ping me on plurk first and we can arrange something.
Where: Leo Ward, in the hospital
Summary: Someone finally wakes up to 2085947585 COMP messages.
Regaining awareness was an unusual experience.
Takakage couldn't remember anything of the days before, save for a vague sensation of rising through deep water. The return to consciousness remaindd in his recollections, though - a sharp jolt of crisp images, as if breaching the ocean surface and up into air. It was disorienting, especially given that the medical staff responded very quickly - and also because it took him a few hours to remember what transpired just before he had blacked out.
Given that he was in the Leo Ward and not within the bowels of a giant demon, it ought to be safe to assume that things did turn out as planned.
A little inquiring provided him with the reassuring fact that both the two lords had survived unharmed. Though it would be a while before he was able to try and contact them again. The first day passed in a whirl of sound and movement, filled with myriads of tests and staff bustling about. At the end of the evening, the doctor had insisted that he rest - and it was a decision he was not allowed to refuse.
Sedation couldn't be bypassed, no matter how hard he tried to fight off its effects.
The second day fared better - the morning air cleared his head, and allowed him to think better. Time to check up on what's been happening -
- Taro, why did you send a hundred messages? The COMP was even starting to lag...
[ ooc: Takakage is going to send individual messages to people he knows, so there will be 'sub-threads' for each person. Ping me if you would like one! ]

"Effort you could have spared if you had just listened to me in the first place, right?"
There's a slight pause as she considers something.
"...I'm gonna make arrangements with your job to give you a week or so off so you can actually start to recover, okay?"
no subject
But details, details. Kotoha shouldn't have to worry even more.
He carefully skirts her first statement and responds to the second. "Ah... that would be much appreciated, yes. I doubt I'm in the condition to report back immediately."
(You have a terrible habit of making understatements all the time, Takakage. You nearly killed yourself, that's why the staff's still got you hooked up to a vital signs monitor.)
no subject
"You...doubt."
Kotoha takes a second to facepalm before explaining a thing.
"You hear that regular beeping sound? That is a monitor designed to warn the staff if something goes wrong. It means that not only did you nearly kill yourself, the trained medical professionals don't think you're out of danger yet. So, no, you are not in any condition to do anything, much less work."
no subject
He waits until Kotoha finishes speaking.
"I know. It's just a speech pattern." Did you mean: a habit of constantly trying to make your condition sound not so bad. "I've read up on medical procedures before, so I understand what's been happening."
"And... I'm not physically hurt. It's more of... soul trauma, so to speak." His pre-existing fatigue aside, that is. "I had to do powerful magic to drive off the demon, and it cost more than I thought it would." It required the execution of a technique he had only envisioned, never practiced.
"I'm sorry. I'll try to pay more attention next time."
no subject
"You're exhausting, you know that?"
no subject
"I suppose I ought to take that as a compliment?"
no subject
A pause.
"...Listen, drop me a line when you're cleared to leave and I'll come pick you up, okay?"
no subject
He closes his eyes for a moment.
"But yes. Sure."
