[OPEN] Bouncing Back

Characters: Open to the kidnapping victims, their visitors, and medics.
Location: Death City Clinic
Rating: Varies
Time: June 17th and 18th (if extra time is needed), all day
Description: After a return to Death City and resulting brief surgery to remove the amplification chips, patients are now under observation for the safety of themselves and others as they recover from the ordeal. Visit a friend!



It began with a sigh of relief when the chips were discovered late last night. Nurses and doctors moved briskly down the halls, sedating the maddened and prepping them for an easy surgery. One by one the foul chips are removed, contained for further analysis while their 'hosts' take their first real rest after a whirlwind day spent out alone with their own crazed minds.

By the morning of the 17th, the surgeons anesthesiologists are exhausted, wearily taking their time in the break rooms of the clinic to recover from a very long night of sedations and incisions, but after another examination, they were pleased to announce everyone was clean.

But the environment is tense. Most, if not all of those who were brought back had done unspeakable acts and are ordered to remain under observation just in case. Visiting hours arrives just after Morning Training lets out, allowing patients to see their friends and partners. But take note- each room is accompanied by a Shibusen agent keeping their eyes and ears open in case of trouble, but they won't disturb your visit or conversation so long as you keep things civil.

[Akiha still didn't look up but drew in a labored breath that caused her body to shudder. Dyspnea: the price her demon blood placed upon her body after a prolonged 'exposure'.]

If you... you want the... arm. bands.

...you'll have to... to... wait to see. If they ever. Let us. Out.


[She drew in another pained breath.]

Won't fight getting... kicked out.

[Naoto should probably call for assistance to help her breathe better. Armbands? Oh, the SEES armbands.]

I'm not here to discuss that... Come on. I'll help you get back in bed and call a doctor.
ritsu_kouyou: (79)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2013-07-26 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

Don't need help. This... this happens after... after...

[She leans her head back against the wall, eyes bloodshot, and forced herself to take slower breaths.]
pishirogane: (Cool stare)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-07-26 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
... When you go into that state I assume. If you believe being on the floor will help you then very well.

[She'll push the issue in a bit, but she really came with the intent to see how Akiha and Sion were recovering. All that she could note was it wasn't good... mentally so far.]
ritsu_kouyou: (80)

[She would be better in bed, but then she'd be further away from Sion. Being in separate rooms was upsetting, because she knows Sion needs her.]

It's... called inversion. When my blood... over- overrides my willpower.

I see. Was your 'inversion' a common issue back home for you?

[Though, even if it was, it had been amplified.]
ritsu_kouyou: (80)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2013-07-26 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Common... if having to fight against it every... every moment is common. Only inverted once... once before at home. Forced by my brother.

[Her breathing was somewhat easing up, but it was still an effort.]

Fate of all Tohno. We're monsters.
pishirogane: Art by: Sya (You wanted to see me?)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-07-26 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Your brother?

[She frowned. Family isn't supposed to do that... What's wrong with some people?]

Do you all eventually succumb to that other half though?
ritsu_kouyou: (8)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2013-07-26 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods, closing her eyes.]

Some sooner than others. Is responsibility of the family head to put down those who inverted.

[Guess who is the head of the Tohno family now?]

I'm only one that has ever come back from inversion.
pishirogane: (Cool stare)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-07-26 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Naoto nods. So coming back isn't common, but Akiha managed. Unfortunate position she's been placed in. Definitely explains why Akiha is... well, Akiha.]

... I doubt I can convince you, but I do know Kanji would come here and argue that you're not a monster. You do what you must to stay in-control at home and here, BREW keeps you from inversion. It can come out, yes, but you can be pulled back; you've been given a chance to control. Like you mentioned with your brother, you were forced into that state. Who I'm speaking to now is Tohno-san, the one who refuses to succumb to the demon she was born with and fights desperately to rein it. If you wanted to be the one back in the village, you wouldn't feel regret for your actions.
ritsu_kouyou: (10)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2013-07-26 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[The problem was, a part of her didn't regret it; that part of her was feeling very sated with the amount of blood she'd drank and the lives she'd snuffed out. And it disgusted her that, even now, that part still whispered in the back of her mind.]

Are you certain that's what he'd do? I did try to eat him.

...and there will eventually be a day where I fall completely to my inversion impulse and the Crimson Red Vermilion will be unleashed. I'm glad those witch chips still a limit, otherwise we would have killed you all.

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-07-26 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You tried, but you didn't succeed. Kanji will forgive you.

[He's ridiculous like that sometimes. Either way, she shrugged.]

Perhaps... someone else may have put you down eventually.
ritsu_kouyou: (14)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2013-07-27 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Nii-san will. He's the only one that will be able to kill me when it happens.

[Oddly enough, she smiles a little at that. The knowledge that Shiki will stop her warms her heart.]
pishirogane: (Perhaps you could explain)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-07-27 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Naoto doesn't really get it, but Akiha is happy about that...]

I'm going to check on Atlasia-san and see if they can allow her a moment to visit you.
ritsu_kouyou: (79)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2013-07-27 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Naoto's confusion is understandable given what Akiha had said about her brother forcing her first inversion; she didn't know Akiha had two brothers.

At the opportunity to see Sion, Akiha's head turned toward the wall behind her and she put a hand upon it. Her voice even strengthened.]


I need to see her. I need to know if she's okay. She's not like me; she wasn't born with the monster...
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Neutral)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-07-27 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes. Knowing the presence of two siblings would help.]

[Naoto glanced back at the wall, but then nodded to Akiha, standing up.]


I'll be back soon.
ritsu_kouyou: (58)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2013-07-27 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
They wouldn't let me when I asked...

Good luck.
pishirogane: (The final card)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2013-07-27 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Naoto doesn't say anything, but she does nod and head to the adjacent room to speak with Sion.]
ritsu_kouyou: (108)

[personal profile] ritsu_kouyou 2013-07-27 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Once Naoto leaves, Akiha put her head back down and concentrated on steadying her breathing.]
