Farewell Happy Fields!

☯

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!]

Oh goddamn it, this is going to be trouble isn't it.

With a sigh and a feeling of dread, he spreads his arms and legs out to form a one-man barrier. But he doesn't lock any of his joints, either - he's ready to move to either side to block the crazed god, which thankfully should be a simple matter with Anant being in the state they are.

"Cut that out already!"

[selfgodded]

Anant stopped before they rammed into Hizumi, and they splayed their fingers slightly to peek at the smaller boy between them. Their legs were trembling slightly, from exhaustion no doubt, but Anant seemed to be happily oblivious to the agony their body must be in.

"...please move. I am in need of my mask."

[bondsofsuffering]

He sighs and puts a hand on Anant's shoulder, gripping slightly harder than is probably necessary. "And your body is in need of some rest! C'mon, we can get you another mask. But for now, you need to lie down before you bleed on everything."

He begins to push slightly in an attempt to steer Anant back to their room. And as he does this... does what he can to peer surreptitiously at the person's face. It's hard not to be curious about this mysterious god's looks!

[selfgodded]

Anant looked like they were going to resist Hizumi's little nudges and pushes back to their room - but they were placated by the promise of a new mask. Well. Hm, they supposed they could stay and rest, so long as something covered their face...

After some consideration, they reluctantly began limping back to their room, hands still pressed against their face.

Anant sensed Hizumi's gaze on them though, and they turned their face away in response, letting out a small noise. "Don't look."

[bondsofsuffering]

"I've met shy people before, but yours really takes the case." Gentle teasing as he guides Anant back to the room, yes. While he stops peering at Anant's face, he also doesn't exactly try to avert his gaze - he's looking towards the doors, so it'll be up to Anant to make sure their face is covered.

"Will any kind of mask work, or does it have to be the one you came here with?"

[selfgodded]

"I would prefer my original mask, but if it cannot be reclaimed, then anything will suffice until I make a new one," Anant replied calmly, now strangely placid. Wow, they were so easily calmed after all that panic, huh?

They stepped into Anant's room, and they reluctantly slunk back to their bed. The IV tube was on the floor, but the machine had finally stopped making noise of protests, the screen now blank on it.

[bondsofsuffering]

"Alright, alright. I'll take a look around." By which he means a cursory glance in the obvious places before he marches to the supply room and grabs a medical mask to save himself from the trouble. But Anant did say anything would suffice, so!

"I won't take too long. Think you can stop yourself from tearing this place apart for the next, oh, five minutes?"

[selfgodded]

"Hmmm... yes. Not to worry, I shall be on my best behaviour," Anant promised, curling up on the bed and dragging the pillow over their face. Their back was to Hizumi now, and there were bandages visible in the open back of the hospital gown. Looked like someone did a number on Anant's back, judging by the amount of bandages there.

[bondsofsuffering]

Ouch. That had to hurt. But at the very least, it seems the god's spine hadn't been damaged, or else they would have had a much harder time moving - something Hizumi knew from firsthand experience.

"It's a promise. Be good, now!" With a grin and a small wave, he exits the room. After a short search, he returns with a surgical mask in hand.

"Hmmm... I couldn't figure out where they put your mask, but I got one of these instead. Good enough for you?"
