[OPEN]
Characters: OPEN
Location: Death City Clinic
Rating: ?
Time: February 5 onward
Description: Event links list.
There's a grim silence in the clinic, broken only by the complaints of some patient that is still there or the adjustments the medical staff makes on the numerous stretches, supplies, and furnishings prepared for today's mission.
A handful of guards are stationed outside, both to function as runners and to keep an eye on the mirror in case something less welcome than their agents coming home appears. Some of them are Australian, the promised agents from the Oceania branch from Deathscythe Mjolnir.

"What exactly are patrols doing here?"
As she stepped in and closed the door behind her, Tifa began over to his bed, trying not to let worry slow plainly on her face. He didn't look as worse as some, but he sure as hell didn't look good. What had happened to him in the caves?
She hesitated for a moment by his bedside before grabbing a chair and pulling it over to sit by him, feeling awkward to be standing over him like that.
no subject
"I... tried to leave a few times," he answered, looking away. That was when the door opened, the face of a nurse peeking in with a stern look.
"Still here! Mind your own damn business!" He snapped, folding his arms moodily. The nurse made a sound of disgust and the door clicked closed again, quick footsteps moving down the hall.
Kanji sighed, rubbing the heel of a palm over an eye. He reached then for a cup sitting at his bedside, swirling the contents. Phosphorous... something else he was depleted of. Unlike the potassium, this stuff was tasty, like a sweetened sports drink.
"...Anyway, 's been a while. You keep a count on how many'a those Witch pets n' zombies you wrecked?"
He drank, smirked a little. "'Cause I sure as hell did."
no subject
She had many tell-tale signs of fighting visible on her, bandages and bruises, the badges worn by those who had taken on the creatures in the streets. Her hand remained heavily bandaged from the encounter she'd had with Kadaj, a wound that wouldn't readily heal and would probably be tended for awhile.
At his question, she dropped her gaze with a forced smile; this last week had been one she would gladly forget and move on from. "I got enough," she replied, not feeling very proud when so many people, including Kanji himself, had been taken away and subjected to hell.
no subject
Still, he wondered what she'd been through lately when the Madness hit, when the Witches and their familiars attacked...
"Same. I caught some of the action before I went through that mirror n' ended up here... doesn't look like anybody really knows how to deal with those Witches." He sighed through his nose. The general rule was 'never face them alone' and 'run'... but not a way to defeat them. They were formidable opponents, crafty and relentless. He had to respect their chaotic moxie, even if they were the enemy.
"Even so, I wouldn't mind goin' toe-to-toe with 'em someday, instead of spittin' on one." Not his classiest moment, but Kanji wasn't much of a classy guy to begin with. Still, his action may have saved him from having his morals manipulated in that weird machine.
"Make sure none of this shit happens again, maybe take the fight to 'em." Kanji looked down then, and was a little pink. His stomach twisted in a little knot. He should ask. He should ask...
"There's... s-somethin' I wanna ask." He'd wanted to ask this for a while, but then everything happened. He hoped he wasn't too late.
no subject
Her attention returned to him when he began again, and she was surprised to see a blush on his face. She'd picked up on the fact that Kanji embarrassed slightly easily, so she wasn't too concerned but quite curious what he could want to ask that would cause such a reaction. He'd sounded like it was fairly urgent too over the communicator.
"What is it?" she asked gently, watching him patiently so he might not feel more pressured to come up with words than he already was.
no subject
"I got thrown here with somethin' to accomplish, to end this war and beat that Kishin's face right in. I don't fully accept what that bastard BREW dropped in my lap... but I'm not gonna run away from it, either."
His gaze faltered a moment, but it quickly recovered. He could do this.
"If I'm gonna do this Meister thing right, I need a Weapon that's ready to knock some heads together. After Florence, after all the practice we had, I got to know a pretty cool person, a strong fighter who ain't afraid to stand her ground."
...And wipe the floor with him, to boot. One of these days, Tifa, he will win a sparring match against you. Just you wait!
"Let's give the Witches somethin' to shit their pants over! Y-y'wanna Partner!?" Oh, oof, he wished his voice didn't crack there.
no subject
She smiled more at him, giving an enthusiastic nod.
"Let's partner," she affirmed, "I can't think of anyone I'd rather take down the Witches with. We already know we can do it, right?" The fact that they'd done what they had in Florence without much practice resonating together proved to her that they'd be pretty unstoppable once they trained more.
I'll make the post on the Partner Directory page. Matching icons? XD
"Right! Wasn't a bad place to cut our teeth on!" Most probably got their start on normal one- to two-star Missions. There was something about jumping right into hell, just to hit the ground running that suited him more.
"Now I just... gotta wait for these assholes to bust me loose. I wanna get back to the park and work out the kinks." Because, clearly, making a run for it wasn't working. It had also been a while since he attended Morning Training as well, though he wondered what kind of mess the park was in now.
"...So what happens when Guests work out a partnership? We gotta fill out some stupid paperwork or somethin'?"
damn, we always have foreboding of the future tags. T_T
She paused, thinking of how she'd heard most partners lived together. It was easier, made resonance better, that sort of thing. Somehow, she couldn't see Kanji moving in with Aerith and her. She wasn't sure who else Aerith would live with, but she felt like the other girl would understand and maybe have a solution to it. Plus, she was rather excited to tell Aerith about her new partnership in general.
"Well, we can get that all figured out. You should focus on getting better. The sooner you recover, the sooner you can get out of here."
I know, hahaha... aaaah, Aerith ;-;
With her words, he grew in a breath and released it low and quiet, nodding his head to the mostly-empty IV bag.
"Workin' on it! I'm told they're gonna discharge me in the morning. Should probably try n' sleep..." He wouldn't admit it, but the clinic bed was comfy. Better than a cold hard floor, anyway. The idea what he was somewhere warm and a little quiet was all ready making his eyelids a little heavy.
no subject
After a small pause, she reached down to take his hand, giving it a little squeeze. "I'll see you soon, okay? And Kanji... I'm glad you're okay."
no subject
"Not gonna cut the sick partner any slack, huh? Heheh... that's fine by me! I ain't gonna hold back next time, three days in that cave or no!"
Before he could stop himself, he glanced down at his hand, then pointedly back up at her with a firm nod.
"...Th-thanks, Tifa. Same goes for you." He hadn't seen her since the invasion, and had been looking all over for her to no avail. Seeing her alive and well, living through that hellish cavern to finally be up front and ask her what he wished to was a near-overwhelming relief to him.
His hand was a little hesitant at first, but it soon squeezed back a little.
"We'll give 'em hell next time!"
