A different kind of IC intro

[papadojima]

Who: Dojima and OPEN
Where: Caduceus Hospital, Leo District
Summary: Dojima doesn't arrive quite as planned.
Warnings: None so far.

Today, after being silent for a few days, the HORUS system beeps back to life, indicating a new arrival... at Caduceus Hospital in the Leo district. Not at all where Visitors usually arrive...

Dojima opens his eyes after a strange dream. Persona... must be because of what his nephew told him. He groans as nurses get to work around him, hooking him up to machines, giving him oxygen and dialing different departments for a head to toe examination of the new patient who was visibly in bad shape. Shit, why had they unhooked him in the first place?

"Sir? Sir, what is your name?" the youngest nurse asks, writing pad in hand.

He hisses in pain before repying "Dojima... Ryotaro."

"Okay. Do you know where you are?"

"Inaba."

From the look the nurse gives him, Dojima understands this was not the right answer. But, if he's not in Inaba... where is he???

Dojima has to focus to make sense of the doctor's question. "Sshe's my daughter... she's been kidnapped... Souji... where... where's my nephew?"

Once again, the doctor jotted down the information, before pulling out a beeper. One of the nurses from before came in, and the two had a hushed conversation, before she left with a nod.

"We're going to do our best to find them, Mr. Dojima. Can you give us any physical descriptions? Ages?" It was a lot to ask the man, frankly, but he couldn't not try.

"Seven years old, ah.... brown hair, pigtails..." Dojima rubbed his eyes. "Brown eyes... ... my wallet... got a photo..."

Dr. Abi glanced over at the bedside table, where one of the nurses had placed Ryotaro's effects while prepping him for examinations. The doctor gently picked up the wallet and opened it.

"...I remember when Ayano was that small." He looked at the picture, frowning at it himself. "She was like a little wisp. You wouldn't know she was even there until she told you she finished the laundry." He gave a sad smile, closing the wallet and standing up.

"We'll do whatever we can to help you, Mr. Dojima. I promise."

"Thanks, doc," Dojima said as he let his head sink deeper into the pillow. Hopefully when he'd wake up again his nephew and his gang of friends would have magically taken care of everything.
