variable two;

Who: David, Saga, and YOU??
When: Post-event in August, into the uneventful part of September
Where: Infirmary, his cabin, art gazebo, see prompts.
What: BABY'S FIRST DEATH TOLL and September catch-all
Warnings: SH related violence likely to be discussed, the usual gamut of warnings around David--brainwashing, issues of consent, institutional abuse, military violence, and exploitation.



i. infirmary - closed to first Saga and then existing CR

He wakes up. Because he always wakes up. It's becoming an inevitability. What's different is that he aches, at least where he doesn't feel like he has bits of something stabbed through him. They must be trying something new, for it to hurt this much.

The bland ceiling of the infirmary is familiar, in a disappointing way. A dream, then? A very long, very strange dream, maybe hallucinations mixed in. Too vivid for only his imagination. The slow awareness of someone next to the bed makes him feel cold inside. He wouldn't mind going back to the hallucinations, even that last one. He keeps his eyes on the ceiling and lets the blankness do its job.

It won't just happen the first time he wakes up, either--for as long as he's in the infirmary, David's going to be just a little bit temporally unmoored.

Hanna doesn't come by until he's had a day, doesn't think he'd be up for a walk, or even a teleport and the walk back to his cabin that first day without yacking. But, the second day, he gets himself looking as presentable as possible, drowning in a pair of sweatpants and an oversized T-shirt, weirdly too cold or too warm as he makes his way to the infirmary.

He doesn't like to go, especially if they have a reason to look at him, but he would for friends, get someone in that needs it, and hopefully despite looking like shit himself, he can make the excuse of death toll and head back to his own room once he's done.

Peaking in, he spots David and makes a bee line for him. "H-hey! How's it going, bud?"
falkeditupagain: (Oh dear)

[personal profile] falkeditupagain 2024-09-09 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a little alarming, what he says and Hanna is quick to pull up a chair, sitting next to his bedside.

"Jesus, I feel like shit but I'm not like, disassociating. Wh-what happened after Saga got me out?" She should have taken David first, he'd been stabbed...and while he knows if she had, he might not of survived himself, it didn't make it feel any better.

He was supposed to protect his friends, and here he was, getting them all killed. David, Erskine, Nico, Cloud, potentially other people he knew decently enough that didn't deserve to get burned just because he existed and fucked with magic he didn't quite understand.
falkeditupagain: (oh....)

"Man...I'm sorry about all this." He looks a little miserable. Fell asleep his ass, David. He knows he died and it probably wasn't as peaceful as his own death was. He had wanted it to be easier for Vincent, but despite the random intense chest pain that had him gripping his shirt every once in a while, it was just...regular nasty shit from how death had been described to him.

"Can I get you anything? I- I made you something by the way, it's kind of stupid but-" he reaches into his pocket, pulling out a paper doll of the Terminator, rather silly all things considered.

"Figured he could keep you company while you recovered if no one is visiting."

falkeditupagain: (Heh...Yeah)

Another smile for the tally, sweet. That pulls a little smile of his own, gently kicking his legs back and forth in the chair he can't quite touch the ground in. "I did that this morning before I came by."

He would have the day before but that was a lot of getting sick in-between people yelling at him and him listening to people yell at him and feeling really bad. Great day.

"You got a headache? I was gonna sit here a bit, if you didn't mind, brought my Zune. I'll share an earbud with you, if it wouldn't give you a migraine?"

Fishing the thing out of his pocket, Hanna scoots his chair closer to the bed side, leaning against the mattress a little and offers him an earbud, scrolling through options before he lands on some Angels and Airwaves, figuring that was easy enough listening that if they both fell asleep from the exhaustion it wouldn't be too startling when they woke up.

He tries not to let the comment hurt too bad, at least on his face, reaching out to ruffle David's hair, "Well, let me get the next one if we're in danger. I owe you, and we can trade off, kay? I'm good for it, might even have all my magic next time, it'd help."

He fits the other bud in his own ear, resting his elbow in a lean so he's close enough they can share and shrugs, "probably not enough for what I did. Nico made me intangible to harm, I didn't want to say no because if I did he might have to deal with giving me another rez and that sucks. Kid didn't deserve to land me right before I fucked up like that."

Malcolm knows some people (other than him; John healed him, he’s fine) got hurt during the flood or… whatever it was that Hanna caused, but he doesn’t know who. He heads to the infirmary to see if anyone is still there and, poking his head into the room, spots David. He steps inside.

“David. Hi. How are you feeling?” He asks as he steps around to help himself to looking at his chart.
abrightboy: (curious questions)

[personal profile] abrightboy 2024-09-22 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sorry to hear that." He hangs the chart up. "What happened?" He sits down.
abrightboy: (inner oh no)

[personal profile] abrightboy 2024-10-01 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
"That's terrible. Who killed you?" Malcolm asks.
abrightboy: (concession)

[personal profile] abrightboy 2024-10-01 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
“I guess that happens around here. So it’s a death toll? You don’t have to stay in the infirmary unless you want to for that,” Malcolm tells him, in case nobody gave him that choice.

She's waiting for him, when he wakes up. She won't rush him, of course, even though she knows when his resurrection was requested and when he probably will be opening his eyes. If he needs a few minutes to just pretend to be dead or get his hands around it or even just to be annoyed at her for pulling him back from an end, he can have it. But she'll make sure that she puts the water with the little straw nearest to him so that he can see it and potentially ask for/grab it.

"Last time I checked," she says, and she doesn't sound nearly as wry as she probably should. That's a question that feels more important the longer she's here.

"How are you feeling? Need some water?"
makethestory: (follow you into the dark)

He might, if she didn't keep her hand on the glass as well, steadies it with her own grip as he moves to take it closer to take a sip.

"We're in the infirmary," she explains, "on the Barge. You died from your wounds, so I brought you here to get some of the metal that got stuck into you taken out before I revived you."

"He did," she can confirm, because she sent him there. And the whole thing ended not too long ago. She hasn't checked back with him yet, but-

"I was planning on checking in with him once you woke up. But the-" what the hell do I even call this? It wasn't a flood. And it sure as hell wasn't a good time "-the Overlap that was happening with that strange industrial world full of monsters is gone. We're in clean up now."

"I know," she says gently, "don't worry. He's getting enough trouble from everyone else. I... haven't taken my turn."

No interest, her tone says. It's not that she's not upset that this happened. It's that she doesn't think that his choice in this case holds the weight of what happened on the boat. He didn't choose to do this any more than anyone else did. He just happened to trip over the lever.

"I'm sure he'll be glad to see you up."
