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!]

Rise hadn't been hurt too badly. Getting taken out by Persona magic did a lot less permanent damage than what else could have happened.

Usually.

Naturally, though, she was up and around the hospital even sooner than she was supposed to be when she heard who else was here. And who was in ICU. In fact, she was in a bit of a rush as soon as she could disconnect herself from an IV...but of course, someone was there first.

She hesitated at the door for a moment, unsure if she should intrude, but a glimpse of Yukiko's face told her she probably should. She entered quietly.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

And maybe thankfully that Yukiko didn't notice. She would clam up and not try to speak to her friends right now.

Yeah, she's kind of in her own little world of self hating right now so any kind of good news would make her a little happy.

[celebrity_commentator]

She walked up next to Yukiko without saying anything, looking down at Yu's injuries silently for a long moment.



"What is with you guys?" she asked, suddenly.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

Ok, that startles her and she turns to face the other girl. She's definitely been crying because her eyes are red and there's streaks down her face.

"R-Rise-chan! I didn't even hear you come in!"

[celebrity_commentator]

"First of all, after all those speeches about being careful, you go off and charge people without waiting for me," she said, building up steam and not looking at Yukiko at the moment.

"And then there's the jumping in front of attacks. All of you keep doing that no matter how suicidal it looks. Maybe it's because I'm useless at fighting but I really don't see what that's supposed to accomplish other than making everyone else feel guilty. Literally all of you did that at Izanami when it looked like she was killing people. How do you think that made me feel, not being there, huh? How inconsiderate do you have to be to...to throw yourself at a bad guy like that? I made friends with a bunch of...heroes, or something."

She paused, taking a breath and trying to remember where she was going with this.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

Rise, you're not helping the situation. AT ALL.

Granted what she was saying is true but no one ever got this injured and not so early on in the fight. They barely attacked when the Anoli started pounding their own onto the Visitors and residents. And this...well, it was making her feel worse. She's quiet, unable to really respond to the other.

No matter what they do, all of them are heroes in one way or another. So don't feel left out Rise.

[celebrity_commentator]

She sighed.

"I'm sorry. I'm being selfish. I just...I don't want him to be hurt and you to look like that," she admitted. "One or the other I can handle, but you looking upset about him doing something I've seen you do right back to him is just a little too much."

[gigglesnortpriestess]

"Something that hasn't happened to me yet."

Even after hearing the truth about who Izanami was and how she shouldn't trust her...she couldn't follow that thought pattern. Not after what happened even before all of this.

"...you're not being selfish Rise-chan. It's just...I was so terrified..."

[celebrity_commentator]

"...yeah."

"I'm still terrified. I couldn't even be there, not that I'd have been much use," she admitted, keeping her eyes solidly fixed on Yu and away from Yukiko's.
