What: Aftermath of Anoli Attack: Hospital
Where: Leo Ward - Caduceus Hospital Headquarters
Summary: It is the aftermath of the Anoli attack on the Closing Ceremonies. The injured have been taken to Caduceus Hospital Headquarters, and it is time for reflection, visting, or old-fashioned escapes from the hospital rooms.
Warnings: Mild squick if people want to describe their wounds in explicit detail.

Caduceus Hospital Headquarters. It has a distinguished history within Hinoto-Ri, boasting of a staff of well-trained Healers, as well as possessing the most cutting edge medical technology possible. There was no limb they couldn't reattach, no organ they couldn't replace... - they even claimed to be able to bring someone back from the dead (with the small disclaimer that it could only occur under certain conditions and with an obscene amount of luck).

So needless to say, the hospital was more than well-equipped to deal with the aftermath of the Anoli attack on the Closing Ceremonies.

---

Nearly every hospital bed had been filled by an injured patient that night. The A&E room had been in constant chaos, with civilians crying and shouting, searching for loved ones, or demanding to see doctors or healers to help so-and-so...

There had also been plenty of reporters milling about, shouting and crying over the status of the Mayor's Secretary, and whether the Red Lion had really died at the scene, or if he was still alive and well within the safety of the hospital's ICU.

By the time morning broke, there was a false sense of tranquillity within the hospital. The healers had been pushed to their limits with the sheer number of patients being wheeled in and out of surgery, but otherwise, the situation had finally gotten under control. Now, both civilians and visitors were merely waiting for word of the conditions of their injured friends and family...

[Welcome to the winding down of the event! You are now at the hospital, where you may be visiting the injured, or be one of the injured yourself! Those with RED injuries will be in the ICU, and those with YELLOW injures will be in normal wards, for obvious reasons. Those with GREEN injuries wouldn't have had to go to the hospital at all, so they are free to come and go as they wish!

You may all start your threads and mingle!]

Here's a young man who has been on call since the first injuries had been rolled into the hospital. He's one of the top surgeons on Caduceus' payroll, and has been operating on as many of the injured as he could. Thankfully they haven't been too complicated; mostly removing bullets and shrapnel, though he has handled the occasional organ damage during the last few days. He's even the one that's operated on Ms. Junko Tanako!

Odds are, if you or one of your friends went under the knife, needed some stitches or some skin grafts, this guy's one of the people that handled it, or know the people that handled it, so he probably knows what's up. With most of the people in critical condition taken care of, he's finally got a chance to rest, which consists of parking himself by one of the desks in the ICU, or some part of a hallway or the reception area, and yawning a bit while he pretends to go over a chart and look busy, or making himself a cup of coffee.

He seems nice enough however, so perhaps you'd like to ask him some questions?

Well... Samus had heard that everything went to hell the night of the ceremonies. She honestly had thought that they would have been more well equipped with security against these sorts of attacks, which is why she had decided to stay behind and watch on a public television. That and the fact that she was considered a possible biological threat in the city, added on to the fact that most of her weapons were... not made for areas with high civilian populations.

In retrospect, she wishes she had been there, though she's not sure she would've made a difference. Samus didn't really understand the full gravity of the situation, however, until she had arrived at the hospital for one of her regular checkups and saw just how busy and overflowing with patients the place had become.

Wearing a casual military style outfit, Samus approaches a doctor in the reception area as she pulls her eyes away from yet another gravely injured patient being wheeled down the hallway.

"Excuse me sir, I've come in for one of my regularly scheduled checkups? If this is a bad time, however, I can postpone it until next week." It wasn't as though there was anything out of the ordinary about her condition anyway. Nothing had changed about it in the past two weeks since her last checkup.

"--Huh?"

He looked up from the papers he had been (pretending) to study, to look at her curiously and adjust his glasses. He, didn't seem to know much about that off the top of his head, but he was a surgeon.

"Oh-- no, I'm sure it's fine. Most of the people who are busy are the surgeons and the anesthesiologists," He said, quickly looking through some of the files on the desk.

"You're one of the visitors, right?"

"I imagine the nurses aren't getting a free moment either," she comments as a team of doctors run past with equipment. Samus turns her attention back to the doctor as he rustles through some papers.

"Affirmative. My name is Samus Aran. I'm here about my medical condition regarding the toxins in my system."

You might notice the dark blue veins around her eyes or running down her neck. She also looks like... she might be glowing a little blue?

"Eheh-- not really." It was kind of embarrassing to admit, but...yeah.

He finishes going through the papers, trying not to let his focus wander to the...um...glowing veins. Yeah that definitely seemed like something you needed a doctor for.

"Just wait here for a moment, I'll get Dr. Choi; he'll probably be able to help you better than I could."

He gave her a small nod of his head before disappearing momentarily back into the throng of rushing medical professionals.

"Thank you, doctor."

Samus waits patiently by the front desk, arms folded over her chest as she watches the others go by. It's a shame she didn't have much medical experience herself. If the Chozo were here, she was certain their advancements in medicine would come in handy to this city and the hospital. It was a shame that none of that legacy came with her, only their military technology instead.

Avitus, still making his rounds and handing out feathers the way others might give people bouquets of feathers, pauses there by the man's desk while he's up making coffee or something, not far away. He runs a hand through his wing again, and after another tug, pulls out one of the bigger ones -- almost a foot and a half long, and nearly six inches wide. He runs his fingers over it, making sure all the barbs are locked properly, leaving it neat, and then reaches over to leave it lying on the desk next to the clipboard, just as the man is returning to his seat.

If the surgeon recognizes him, it's probably from seeing him making his own rounds, doing this, or maybe from the other staff's comments about there being a vampire bird-person Visitor, who'd mostly only needed to feed again and rest a bit, before he'd recovered.

"I um...." He looked up to the human, burying his hands in his wing again, going back to preening without having to watch what he was doing. "I just... wanted to say thank you. One of my brothers is a doctor too, and... I know how hard it can get, sometimes."

It was hard not to recognize the guy, to be honest. Even if he hadn't seen him personally, there was plenty talk around the hospital of visitors, and Avitus was no exception.

When he got back to his desk, the giant feather there was...admittedly a bit baffling, but his attention was quickly on Avitus himself. And as weird as the whole situation was, he does smile and adjust his glasses a bit.

"Ahah, thank you, too. It's my pleasure. It may get a little hectic, but I wouldn't trade it for the world."

"Mm... my brother's said that too." He gave the doctor more of a smile, though it was a little sad.

"I don't have the Gift of healing others, like he does... nor the stomach for learning this profession as he and the humans do. But if there is anything I can do for you... you'll let me know, I hope?"

Right, the vampire that somehow can't stand gore is offering to help at the hospital.

To be fair, he's trying for helping with morale at the moment, giving people feathers like he is... so at least there's that. Surely someone would need a pick-me-up sometime? Or maybe have him run errands, or something... who knows, at this point? Unless he already has anything he can ask Avitus to do for them?

Farewell Happy Fields!
