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!]

Miki had been lucky, as far as sustaining injuries during the entire fight. She'd gotten away with a broken finger, a few cuts and torn leg muscle. All of that was quickly fixed, as far as this hospital was concerned. Just a day of preventive staying in her room in case she developed anything from treatment, but she was clear soon enough and was allowed to visit the others. It hadn't taken too long for her to find out what rooms everyone were, but Minato's proved to be more of a challenge. June Prince...

In the hopes of dodging the damn fangirls that had stood next to the door like a bunch of overeager hens, Miki had arrived at night and walked past most of them sleeping, able to get into the room without having to push any of them back.

The only problem was she hadn't slept much herself, and when she finally managed to get in, the situation dawned on her. Both of them were asleep, and would probably be for a while long, so she leaned down on one of the walls and waited. By the time either would wake up, Miki had already dozed off. Her mouth was open, and she was drooling a bit.

She tried.

Minato had either the fortune or the misfortune to wake up in the middle of the night, amid the thirteenth hour, shuddering from some awful half anesthetic-induced nightmare involving that horrid woman who'd visited him on his second morning here. After staring at the ceiling for a few moments, just breathing in and out (and also reminding himself that this weird time wasn't the Dark Hour, and he wasn't a little kid stuck in the hospital alone again), he started to roll over to go back to sleep before the soreness of a broken arm and a mostly-healed stab wound in his side reminded him that this was a bad idea, and he let out of a hiss of pain as he settled back again.

Perhaps that was enough to awaken Miki, but even if it was not, Minato found he couldn't fall back to sleep now, and he glanced around the room, only to stop when he noticed someone new and familiar slumped against the wall. ... hopefully Miki doesn't mind if he just watches her for a few moments.

Unlike Shinjiro who could probably sleep through street construction right outside of the window, Miki was an extremely light sleeper. No doubt this had been caused ever since the fire in her childhood. The minute there had been movement, she had snapped awake as her body tried to remind her exactly where she was, and the fact she hadn't really slept all that much.

For a few minutes, she ended keeping her eyes closed and concentrating to see if she'd fall back asleep. No such luck. It was only then that she finally opened her eyes and realized Minato was actually looking at her.

Without thinking, she gave him a small wave.

[fools_journey]

He smiled faintly at the wave. His right side was facing her, and that was the side with the broken arm, so it was a little hard to wave with it. His other arm had the IV needle and pulse monitor, meanwhile, so if Miki were looking for much of a return wave, she wasn't going to get it.

Hopefully the tired smile was good enough.

[helenchanter]

It was. Silently, she pushed herself from the wall, and stood up to walked closer to his bed so he could hear her without bothering the others in the room.

"I'd give you a kiss, but I don't want to worry the nurses." She pointed to his pulse monitor. It was an attempt of a small joke, considering the situation he was in. Actually..."wait don't laugh at that, tch! Dammit Miki!" Patients were supposed to relax, not get stimulus.

[fools_journey]

Too late. He chuckles just a little - not much, because he's still pretty groggy, and in any event pain killers rendered his already muted responses still further dampened. "What they don't know won't hurt them," he jokes right back.
