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!]

"As it happens with most accounts, I find... even those that aren't purely flights of fancy."

What was that saying, that history was written by the victors? He knew all too well that the truth varied by source and perspective, among other things, so to think that stories that weren't even based on something observable would all be entirely in agreement was probably quite laughable.

Not that he was laughing there, of course. He still seemed vaguely... confused? ...unsure what to make of the subject, at least.

"Perhaps especially those." He frowned a little, to himself, quietly, thinking about that... but after a moment, he peeked back up at Minato, trying to offer a little smile to lighten the mood. It wasn't all that effective; something was on his mind still from that train of thought he was trying to come away from. "I don't suppose there's anything you were curious about, if vampires are naught but made-up tales, in your world...?"

Well, others certainly had, so maybe Minato would like to ask something too? Maybe he could try spelling out what he hadn't quite asked, just a minute or two ago, if he wanted?

"Um... do you drink blood?" It's really the only thing he can think to ask.

Avitus blinked, not really expecting that question. Questions on all the other details, which did differ between tales, perhaps, but not on the one thing the human had said was consistent. How confusing!

"Well... yes. It's rather one of the few constants among the clans in Nosgoth, not just in stories. There used to be more, but they've all changed so much since the Empire...." He shook his head, puzzled look turning a little toward a frown. More to himself than Minato, "I should probably purchase more on my way home again, too...."
