[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.

Now that chip is out, am better.
[Takes an effort not to touch the bandage.]
Thank you for coming after. Am sorry was... [He gestures vaguely, helplessly.] Am afraid have always been hit hard by madness wavelength.
Are you all right?
no subject
Me? You're the one in the Clinic here, I don't know if you noticed. I'm fine.
no subject
Should have been able to help it.
[This is familiar refrain in thinkpan. Spent sweeps as ship wishing were braver, wishing could do something to fight.]
Should have been able to keep from hurting anyone.

You sound just like SS. Have heard that from him many times.
[Has felt this way many times, too, that best wasn't good enough.
And there's something deeper, more troubling. Thought that didn't fight hard enough because didn't want to, fell into rush of power surging back and didn't care if found way back out. Was no doubt, no struggle, there, and knows was the madness, but it was just. So easy.]
Had almost forgotten what powers feel like.

I've got to say. You were pretty cool. Sollux was showing off all the time during the game, before, you know. I always kind of wondered how powerful he'd actually get. Now I guess I have my answer.
no subject
That was fraction of powers.
SS... he's okay?
no subject
He's fine. We're both fine. You're the one everyone's worried about.
no subject
If had had full powers, you would both be dead.
[Feels only shame in saying that. It's true. And SS will forgive, will even say there's nothing to forgive; and Psii won't deserve it. Again.]
no subject
[Yeah, if things were different in a lot of situations he'd be dead. He's not phased. In fact, he seems pretty excited thinking about how strong Psii was.] I bet they were awesome to watch in action. It's too bad you had to lose them to come here, because if you had your powers, those Witches and Kishin would be defeated in no time.
no subject
That's correct. Was most powerful mage on Alternia.
Have often wondered why powers aren't imported with everything else.

[Thinks he prefers that to thinking BREW is horribly inefficient.]

Which suppose is excellent reason for it to have taken own powers.
Think BREW wants Shibusen to win. Think it's also human-magical equivalent of supercomputer, and is probably running several programs concurrently. Expect war has highest priority in queue, and that's why don't see evidence of other purposes.
