multifacets: (Feel like a guitar that's never played)

1st Beat ♪ Video/Action

[The first thing viewers might notice is Rise's disheveled appearance. Some of her hair's fallen out of her pigtails, her face is smudged with something dark gray (ash, perhaps?), providing a stark contrast with her pale skin.]

U-um, hey guys. [Her voice, normally so chipper, is strained and hoarse.] I think we're going to need some healers ov--[She breaks off, coughing.] O-over here. We're in the castle's courtyard.

[Another coughing fit keeps her from saying anything else, and she simply shuts off the bracelet after the angle gives a good view of the courtyard, occupied by several other people in a similar state.]


(About an hour later, from the hospital):
If anyone's planning to leave the city through the gate, you should be careful. I don't know how far out we were, but we got caught by a group of fire creatures. They were really strong.

[She goes quiet, looking down at her hands.] Oh, and...can anyone tell me if we missed anything while we were gone? Thanks.


(ooc: Rise and a few other campers will probably make their way to the hospital themselves, but feel free to catch her along the way or after the second part. Also, Touya and Hilda will have their own log later for close CR, as might a few other campers, just as a note!

Edit: Threadjacking is encouraged, especially for people involved in the camper event!)

[Conan has seen better days. Like Rise, he's smudged with ash from the smoke and a delightful smell of sulphur and sweat clings to him, in case anyone had any doubts that they'd been camping. He's pale, just how pale is demonstrated by the fact that when he took off his glasses to clean them, the contrast between the pale skin below them and the surrounding ash makes him look as though he has panda eyes.

His movements are by far and away the biggest indicator that something is wrong. He is lifted through the portal and doesn't protest as he's led to a out of the way place to sit down as they wait for everyone to come through the portal -- and he sits.

Limited food and water and a hard night mean that Conan's movements are sluggish, and that's not even mentioning the burnt t-shirt, or the heavily bandaged shouder. Someone made a sling out of a sleeping bag so that Conan's arm wouldn't be so jostled, but patches of burnt skin where it wasn't so serious that they could spare bandages for it show through.

In other words, looking for the poster child for your 'Baldr should never be allowed to plan your vacation' campaign? You might just have found him.]

((ooc: Merlin has dibs on healing; otherwise go nuts!))

Ah.

[Moving would be logical -- very logical. But Conan makes no move to act on Rise's suggestion yet. He's watching the rest of their small, sorry group come through the portal. While he knows that it makes more sense for someone to go ahead, warn the hospital of their arrival, he's not sure he wants to leave the group yet.

Not until they're all there.]
holmes_fanatic: (And Then There Were None.)

[personal profile] holmes_fanatic 2012-06-28 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Missed us?

[How could they not be missed -- they'd been gone ages. That's Conan's first thought, but even as it registers he remembers that while it felt like an eternity, their ordeal only took two days. People vanish often in Asgard and while their group was unusual in its size, there is so often so much going on that details get lost in the mix. The thought makes him feel unexpectedly vulnerable -- they'd been holding out to get back to the city as their only hope for so long, that the reminder that their friends have no idea what they went through is hard to take.

Not that it will have stopped them from worrying. Conan can imagine the scolding he's due to get from Nakama only too clearly. Then there's Castle -- with Beckett missing, the last thing they need is more of the department up and going missing. Xavier will have a thing or two to say on that subject, as will Bobby -- John! Conan realises with a start that him going missing while Sherlock's return was still so fresh would have done nothing for his flatmate and friend.]

A-ah. We'll be lucky if we're ever allowed out on our own again ...

[The younger comment is a surprise -- Conan had almost forgotten himself. But that in itself is a reminder that he's got a department he needs to put on a strong face for.]

Just a few.

[After a moment, Conan's going to start the struggle to stand.]

At the hospital

[personal profile] dragonspeak 2012-06-29 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Since he's been at the hospital all morning, Merlin hasn't had time to check the network. Imagine the surprise he gets when he walks into his new patient's room and sees Conan in the state he's currently in.

Merlin practically drops the clipboard.]


Wha--Conan?
holmes_fanatic: (The Secret Adversary.)

At the hospital

[personal profile] holmes_fanatic 2012-06-30 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Merlin!

[Conan's relieved -- at this point, any healer would be a welcome sight, but a friend doubly so. He has a couple of citizen nurses fussing over him, working on removing the make-shift bandages.]

We were attacked, out there in the forest -- the fire giants' people. I used my power -- tell Arthur -- it wasn't all right though. Not everyone made it back--
dragonspeak: (Er...Gaius?)

[personal profile] dragonspeak 2012-07-06 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa, slow down.

[Merlin closes the door behind him, then takes a seat at the edge of Conan's hospital cot.]

Healing first, talk later.
holmes_fanatic: (After the Funeral.)

[personal profile] holmes_fanatic 2012-07-06 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
But--

[Fortunately even if Conan doesn't want to take Merlin's advice, his throat has other ideas, protesting its ill usage with a coughing fit that distracts Conan sufficiently that the nurses are able to finish removing the bandages.

Ouch.

That is not a happy shoulder.]

[ Nina arrives at Conan's room, practically stumbling. She just learned from another Traveler that he was being treated for his injuries, and she dashed to the hospital as quickly as she could.

When she appears, she looks weary and exhausted, though the concern is still evident in her expression. There are bandages visible on her arms, hands, and face. Ever since she watched Rise's post on the network, Nina hurried to help heal burns and other wounds, and she didn't fully realize the strain of her power until now. ]


Conan! Are you okay?
holmes_fanatic: (In the Teeth of the Evidence.)

[ Action - At the Hospital, After Merlin Healed Him? :) ]

[personal profile] holmes_fanatic 2012-07-03 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Conan's been healed, but not cleaned, so like Nina he's a mess -- still smeared with ash and dirt, the burnt patch in his t-shirt giving only too clear an idea of just what sort of an injury was under the bandages that the nurses are now helping Conan remove.]

Nina-neechan!

[The nurses step back as Nina approaches, clearly sensing the urgency in her enquiry. He's sitting up on an examination bed, tired but relieved to see another friend.]
issuesdrawn: (i've been a fool)

[ Action ]

[personal profile] issuesdrawn 2012-07-03 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Seeing the burnt patch nearly overwhelms Nina with sympathy for Conan and ire for the gods. It was horrible enough that they injured Travelers, but it was even worse that they harmed children.

She approaches his examination bed, giving the nurses a grateful look as they part. ]


When I heard you were here, I came as fast as I could. Have you been healed yet? [ It doesn't matter if she's drained of energy. She needs to aid her friends, regardless of the cost to herself. ]
holmes_fanatic: (And Then There Were None.)

[ Action ]

[personal profile] holmes_fanatic 2012-07-03 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Merlin only just finished seeing me -- ah, but maybe we should call him back! Nina-neechan--

[It's a little creepy, seeing the position of the wounds on Nina and knowing he can picture them almost exactly on their original recipient. Conan swallows.]

Nina-neechan might need some help.
issuesdrawn: (looking for heaven)

1/2

[personal profile] issuesdrawn 2012-07-03 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ At his words, Nina shakes her head and manages to give a small, reassuring smile.

She was startled by the intensity of the pain at first, but the burns and blisters don't hurt as much anymore. In any case, there was no sense in worrying Conan or Merlin. ]


I'm fine. I'm glad Merlin was here for you.
issuesdrawn: (i can never leave the past behind)

2/2

[personal profile] issuesdrawn 2012-07-03 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ After a moment, her smile disappears, as she reflects on everything he was forced to suffer. ]

...I'm so sorry.
holmes_fanatic: (And Then There Were None.)

[personal profile] holmes_fanatic 2012-07-03 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ah--

[The apology catches Conan off guard. He's not sure at first what she has to be sorry about.]

Nina-neechan's got nothing to apologize for.
issuesdrawn: (i'm always dragging that horse around)

[personal profile] issuesdrawn 2012-07-03 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
...You endured so much.

[ She can barely contain the wrath and sorrow rising within her. How could the gods cause all of this misery? She's sickened by their callous actions. ]

I'm sorry you had no choice but to go through this... And I'm sorry I wasn't there. [ Nina recognizes that it was foolish to blame herself when she had no control over what happened, but the helplessness leaves her feeling bitter and numb. If she had been there, she may have been able to protect them... ]
holmes_fanatic: (Endless Night.)

[personal profile] holmes_fanatic 2012-07-03 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
It might be a good thing Nina-neechan wasn't. The battle -- things happened so quickly ... I don't think any of us were prepared for that.

And Nina-neechan could help a lot of people now, right?
imhome: (Depressed)

[personal profile] imhome 2012-07-03 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Though Nina understands that Conan is trying to encourage her, his words further strain her heart.

The battle... Why did the gods delight in their despair?

Throughout her life, it always felt like she arrived too late, long after the devastation had already occurred. In a way, she was useless, wasn't she? She could never help prevent anything.

Still, she doesn't want to trouble Conan with her thoughts. ]


...Thank you.

Are you sure you feel all right? You don't hurt anywhere?
holmes_fanatic: (Endless Night.)

[personal profile] holmes_fanatic 2012-07-03 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Not any more. Mostly I'm tired -- I used my power a lot.

[Conan pauses. Trying to weigh up his different sensations is hard.] It still hurts when I think about it -- I think that's in my mind. But -- I used my power until I couldn't use it any more. That's -- I think that's why I'm so tired.
forgotthemonster: (Concerned)

[personal profile] forgotthemonster 2012-07-04 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ An understanding nod.

How can she console him? ]


Should I leave, so you can rest? Or would you like some food first? It may help restore your energy.
holmes_fanatic: (Sweet Danger.)

[personal profile] holmes_fanatic 2012-07-04 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think I could rest, not now. I'm still ... I know it's all right now, but it doesn't feel that way. My body still thinks anything could happen.

[As if on cue -- a stomach rumble.]
