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! ]

... Well sure, that's a fancy way of putting it.

"I... to be honest, while I've helped a lot of people, I've also hurt people, too. At home when we couldn't make ends meet we stole - usually pieces of art or things from museums or private collections to sell. But I don't have to here. ... Sure, I kind of miss doing it, but it's better to be open about things, I think. No one here really cares what I am. It's a nice feeling."
hachitaro: (sly smile.)

"Yeah."

He reaches over carefully to put a hand on Takakage's arm for a moment before drawing back. He's here, he's a friend, and he's glad they have a connection.
hachitaro: (unsure.)

... Oh. He makes a mental note of it - he's used to checking body language.

"You're welcome. Anything else you need before I stop bugging you and let you rest?"
