[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.

[computations]

I....I am less concerned about that and more about you. I do not want any harm to come to you.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[She buried her face against Sion's neck.]

...I can still taste it.

[computations]

I still dream about it.

[ritsu_kouyou]

They need to put us in a double room. I don't want you sleeping alone. The nightmares...

[Akiha was silent for a moment aside from her tears.]

I'm sorry. If I'd been stronger, the witch never would've--

I-I panicked.

[computations]

There was nothing you could do, Akiha.

But....I would like to stay in the same room as you.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I don't know if they will. They didn't let me see you when I asked.

...we owe Shirogane for this.

[computations]

....try to get in contact with Cloud. He may have enough pull to make it happen.

[She's not above playing dirty with politics. If Akiha can give Cloud a sob story, well....Death City needed it's most powerful meisters.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[That plan required Akiha to give Cloud a sob story. Akiha. Give. A sob story. Even like this, Akiha had too much pride for that.]

Maybe.

I think they're still deciding whether to hand us over to the Chile government.

[computations]

I doubt they will. If they did, it would ruin the moral of other partners. They would think they could not make any mistakes in a foreign land.

That and Chile offers little towards Shibusen's cause.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I don't want to go back into that country again.

[She finally pulled back enough to see Sion's face, her tears drying up.]

Even on missions.

[computations]

Then we will not. That shall not even be a discussion.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha's response was to kiss Sion.]

[computations]

[She returned the kiss for a moment before pulling away.]

Not while we're being watched.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Sorry. Just needed that before they took you away from me.

[Her eyes shift past Sion to look at the guards.]

[computations]

I'll try to see if we can talk about later, okay?

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'll try to get a hold of Cloud. [Have an almost painful hug before Akiha let's go.]

[computations]

Let me know as soon as you get an answer.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I will. The sooner we can share a room, the better.

...and I think that man's coming to take you away from me now.

[computations]

[She looks back and lets go of Akiha.]

I will talk to you later.
