[OPEN] Bouncing Back

[soul_mods]

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.

[Aqua didn't know the woman they had fought, but she had wanted to see her anyway.

She didn't have a name, but when she gave a description to the people at the front she had gotten a room number and a name. She had bought flowers, a single daisy for everyone she planned to visit and a few extra just in case.

She knocked on the door to the correct hospital room lightly.]

[Holiday blinked at her hands from the sound, completely lost in her own thoughts. It was only when she felt eyes on her that the doctor looked up to her guard. He nodded to the door. Another knock.]

[Holiday swallowed. As uneasy as she was about talking to others, visitors (and distractions) certainly weren't unwelcome. Neither was any of the hospital staff, but they probably wouldn't be knocking.]

Come in.

[blue_wayfinder]

[She took a deep breath before opening the door. The smile she wore was small, polite and just a little bit unsure.]

Hey. How are you feeling?

[doc_holi]

[Holiday was shocked to see this person come in. She hadn't realized it while under the Madness, but Holiday was fairly sure this girl was one of the Weapons she had fought against.]

[She swallows something. Probably guilt. She doesn't know that information for sure, right?]

I'm fine. The surgery went well...

We ran into each other back there, didn't we?

[blue_wayfinder]

I'm glad. [And she really was.

The smile feel a little though at that question.]

...we did. I was with my partner and...I'm not sure if you remember, but I was what looked like a giant key.

[doc_holi]

I think I do. Things are a little hazy...

[Holiday looked away from the girl and starred down to the floor.]

You're okay, right?

[blue_wayfinder]

I'm fine, and so is my partner. [She remembers being on the other side of this conversation, after the Moral Manipulation Machine debacle.]

I'm more worried about you.

[doc_holi]

I'm okay. [More or less. Mostly less.]

The Madness is gone now. Everything's fine.

[blue_wayfinder]

[She paused, trying to decide if it was all right for her to butt in, but...in the end, Aqua couldn't just leave it be.]

...that was pretty much the answer I gave everyone after I went through the Moral Manipulation Machine.

But there's no way everything could be fine after something like that.

[doc_holi]

[Holiday didn't know what this Moral Manipulation thing was, but it sounded just about as fun as what had happened to her.]

I'm sorry that happened.

... Everything will be fine... I guess. I'm just... taking things one at a time right now.

[If she knew for certain that Six was alive, if the people she hurt while under the Madness were okay, if she wasn't being blamed for being weak or going on rampage then it'll eventually be okay.]

[blue_wayfinder]

[Aqua didn't fel like elaborating if no one asks her to. The name of the thing, she thinks, is pretty self-explanatory.]

It's already in the past.

That's good. I'm sorry if it's too forward of me, but if you need any help or need someone to talk to, I'll help however I can.

[doc_holi]

[Holiday gave a genuine appreciative smile to that.]

Thank you.

[blue_wayfinder]

You're welcome.

My name is Aqua, by the way.

[doc_holi]

Rebecca Holiday, but you probably know that already.

It's nice to meet you, Aqua, under the circumstances.

[blue_wayfinder]

Likewise. I hope you don't mind, but I brought some flowers.

[They were daisies, in bright colours like orange and yellow and white.]

[doc_holi]

[Oh. Holiday gives her a big, happy smile.]

I didn't realize that was for me. Thank you. [She feels so bad for attacking this girl and her Meister, but it seems that all is possibly forgiven.]

[blue_wayfinder]

You're welcome.
