[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.

[[There's a gentle knock at the side of the door frame, accompanied by a soft smile]] Up to visitors?

[Psii isn't sure, but can at least pretend is somewhat normal.]

Think can handle it. Come in.

[[Bakura nods, taking a step inside.]] Sorry I didn't bring anything, wasn't sure you'd be wanting sweets so soon after... [[he's a touch sheepish there]]

How are you feeling?

[Complicated question. Is feeling several different things at once, none of which are compatible with other emotions.]

Am not entirely sure.
shiromadoushi: (Small smile)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-07-27 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Better than yesterday, at least? [[Smiles softly]]

Yes. It would be difficult to be worse.
shiromadoushi: (Precious memories)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-07-27 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Then that's all that matters, right?

[[He's... not doing so well at being helpful today. It's just one of those days]]

[personal profile] 00110010_00110011 2013-07-28 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets a flat look.]

Don't feel right, BR.
shiromadoushi: (Sigh)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-07-28 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[[a slow exhale as he lets go of the forced cheerful front.]] No, I'm sure it doesn't... and likely won't for a while. But it will eventually. Whatever happened... it wasn't your fault. Just remember that much, at least....

Didn't want to come back.

[Can admit to BR what he can't tell family.]
shiromadoushi: (!)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-07-28 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? [[blink blink.]] You didn't...? Because of how it felt...?

[[a pause before his eyes widened slightly]] Or because....?

[[He had heard that some people had gotten their original powers back with the madness chips... if Psii had been one of those...]]

[personal profile] 00110010_00110011 2013-07-28 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Had powers again. Wasn't as strong as used to be. Wasn't even close, but.

[Has been avoiding BR's eyes, but meets them now.]

You remember how madness wavelength affected before.
shiromadoushi: (Serious - 01)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-07-28 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[[he nods]] It was like that again...? Trying to get back...?

Was back. Correction: thought was.

Was with Meenah. Are strong together with normal resonance. With her powers and own... were more than match for anyone. Attacked rescuers.

Felt stronger than have since. Since was ship.
shiromadoushi: (Shiranai kedo...)

[[a small nod]] The Madness can do that... you pay a terrible price for it, but it fills that void. [[his voice is soft, understanding and sympathetic.]] Being away from that feeling for so long... Madness makes itself hard to shake to start with, adding that too it, it's no wonder you didn't want to be saved from it.

Is too hard when come back from it.

Wish had been strong enough to fight it. But also wish could have given in. Feel as if it knows, somehow, what went through before. And uses it against.
shiromadoushi: (Serious - 01)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-07-29 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[[There was a moment of hesitation before Bakura shook his head]] I don't think it knows anything... but it feeds the parts of your mind that does. So every doubt and every fear wells up and it makes it so easy to just reach for that part of you that you know you shouldn't...

[personal profile] 00110010_00110011 2013-07-30 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Have more than fair share of doubts, too.

[Gives small shake of head, as if deliberately trying to jostle thinkpan out of this line of thought.]

Had feeling you would understand, BR.
shiromadoushi: (Small smile)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-07-30 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[[a faint smile]] We're pretty similar in a lot of ways. Makes it easier to.

I'm glad you did come back. And that you're back to your usual self. Even if it doesn't feel it.
