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 opens his eyes at the call of his name, slowly. He turns his head towards the door and spots... oh, it's one of Yu's friends. "Hanamura?" he whispers. "I had the strangest dream..."

Suddenly he sits straight up, the gesturing tearing a scream of pain out of him. "NANAKO! Did you find Nanako...!" Two nurses come immediately at the scream, scolding Yosuke and Dojima, the first for disturbing the patient, the second for having opened his surgical wound on his chest again.

Yosuke shrinks back, taking one step backward in terror from his sudden screaming, and he doesn't even notice the nurses yelling at him as they try to calm Dojima down and get him to relax. His knuckles turn white as he drops the grocery back on the floor by his feet and clenches his fists, trying to brace himself.

"Dojima-san, Nanako-chan is fine!!" Goddamnit, he should've contacted Yu first, he's such an idiot... The frightened teen approaches slowly. "What happened to you?? Why are you injured like this??"

[papadojima]

It took a moment for Dojima to be able to speak again. "Car accident... weren't you there? Argh!" A nurse pressed hard on his wound while another went to get suture thread and a needle.

"Where's Nanako?"

[disconinjafrog]

"Car accident??" Wait... wait so he was... oh shit. "You mean you just got out of the car accident from chasing down Namatame?? Shit..."

He shakes his head and holds his hands out to try and make a 'stay calm' gesture. "Nanako-chan is fine, she's safe and sound with Yu right now, you don't need to worry." The nurse offhandedly informs Yosuke that Yu Narukami had already been contacted, so there was no need to panic and try to get a hold of him.

"They'll be on their way, okay? You don't need to worry, Dojima-san!"
