I. A Hospital Under Siege CW: potential for mouth related body horror creatures, blood

Storms here were continuing to be, at best, annoying. There's no heart monitors, there's no lights, and there sure as hell are little fake images of her guinea pig or other people she knew from home. There had been enough forewarning to know not to trust people when the power went out, especially if they wouldn't come close enough to be touched.

So she focused on something else entirely, which was the whole weird noises in the distance. A threat, probably. And threats meant people could get hurt. Tae absolutely starts packing. The hospital was not centralized enough for this sort of bad effect.

Really, it was a mistake to be here. The screaming noises in the distance. And then the noise of something scratching against a distant door.

"That can't be good."

II. Here To Heal You CW: Potential for blood and injuries

Getting to the Center had been a whole process. Now here she was, moving around quickly as she went through the steps that would make this place better. Using some replicated chafing dish fuels she's got a kettle on to keep water warm for tea, another one to keep a pot of miso soup warm for people who need fluids, and she's already setting up blankets and other supplies to stretch people out.

And when she hears the door open she straightens and looks to it.

"Come in, please."

III. Wildcard
[OOC: Once comms are back up, Tae's happy to travel to help with emergency care. So if you want someone to deal with injuries and you can't get to the Whale Comb Sent Her, wildcard it!]

This was, perhaps, inevitable.

Link had been going out on patrol regularly, doing everything he could to keep the monsters away - and everyone else safe. And he was pretty well equipped to do it, even with the loss of powers.

But eventually, one of the monsters got past his defenses - and now Link is limping slightly, with a trail of blood running down his left leg, as he makes his way down the corridor.

It's no big deal, really. He's had worse.

[researcherprincess]

Zelda has been spending a good amount of time shadowing Doctor Takemi and assisting her whenever she can should someone come into to the hospital. She hears Link before she sees him. She's spent so much time around him she knows he's injured just by how he's breathing and his gait.

She moves over to the hallway as he's limping down and then hurries over once she sees the blood.

"Link! What's happened? Here, let me help you." She says hurriedly, moving to grab his arm and drape it over her shoulder to offer him some support.

[butterfly_kiss]

The Whale Comb Sent Her has been busy on and off since the storm started and Wesker saw her over here, but Tae is still doing her best. Keeping on her feet all the time, trying to encourage her assistants to take naps, and just fussing wherever she could because how else was she supposed to deal with a crisis on this level?

Concerned voices bring her over from where she was changing the sheets on a cot, and she frowns at what she sees.

"Sit him down. I'll get the cleaning supplies, Zelda darling, please begin to apply pressure with the clean gauze pads. And Link, you will sit down through the whole process and not attempt to help, understood?"

[newmemorywhodis]

...Oh no.

Link had hoped, that maybe Zelda wouldn't have noticed. He knew she would worry, after all. And she doesn't need to!

"...It's just a scratch." A scratch that's still bleeding, sure. And enough to make him limp a bit. But still a scratch!

He doesn't really want Zelda to be trying to carry his weight like this, but he also have it in him to tell her not to. So instead he just awkwardly allows her to drag him before Doctor Tae.

"I...can't help?" he says. Why can't he help? He likes helping.

"Hi." Radley comes in with food supplies, looking worn-out and weary. It is definitely proving to be a time.

Re: II

[butterfly_kiss]

Oh Radley. Tae strides right on over, double quick, to liberate whatever he's carrying.

"If you don't sit down to rest, I will sedate you."

Re: II

[crystalmaster]

Radley is happy to give it to her. He sighs, sinking down in a chair. "I'd love to. There's never much peace in the Storms. This one is way worse than before."

[butterfly_kiss]

Tae nods along. Of course it was worse. The last months had been miserable. Why should they ever get better?

"Things don't normally try and kill us during them?"

[crystalmaster]

Radley laughs dryly. "Oh sure. But the whole place doesn't warp like this and open up a portal to an alternate Temba."

[butterfly_kiss]

Ah. That is a fair point.

"Alternate dimensions are I suppose a thing that makes sense here."

[crystalmaster]

"Yeah, there's a lot here that wouldn't make sense at home so much.... Although I heard stories about alternate dimensions back there, too. I scoffed at the time, but who knows. Maybe those were real too."

[butterfly_kiss]

"Those are things for story books and movies back home in Japan," she says with a sigh. Not a thing for real life.

[crystalmaster]

"Yeah, that's what I always thought," Radley smirks. "I keep wondering now if anything will surprise me again. But then there's always something that does."

[butterfly_kiss]

"Exactly," she says with a nod and a sigh. "I think since coming here I have come to expect being surprised. I mean, I met Sonic the Hedgehog. That blew my mind."

[crystalmaster]

Radley laughs. "Yeah, that was out there. I still haven't told him I know of him back home and how."

Look, Billy had been doing really good with the axe. Taking on one of the creatures that looked like a dog with it was easy, it was when the demobat thing had joined in did he get hit. Not by the winged one, thankfully, but the claws that raked across Billy's shoulders? Yeah, that shit hurt.

Billy wished he didn't know.

He staggers into the whale comb sent her, the injured arm's hand holding dragging his axe and the other hand holding the wound shut. God, he doesn't want to be here. It's his own damn fault and he knows it, but he's not great with the medical staff. Billy knows he's gotta be good if he's going to leave here with less pain than he showed up with.

"...Didn't make an appointment."

[butterfly_kiss]

And of course it would be him that showed up. Tae was ready to sass the comment until she saw the blood. Instead she sighs and gestures him close. Looks around. Nope, none of her trainees around. Looks like this time the stitches will be entirely on her.

"I'm guessing you ran head first into trouble, despite all the scars you've already got."

[playingtough]

There's not an alarming amount of blood, but he would be staining clothes and such with it that's for certain. Some of it is already drying on his skin as he goes over when gestured. The blond pulls the hand away and angles it so she can get a better look at it.

"Yeah well... finally got my mind set straight and went to go help. I wasn't going to sit in the diner and let people fight that shit on their own." He looks around, then at Tae. "Where the he—"

No. Be better. They're probably dealing with enough shit right now with all of this Upside Down nonsense.

"Where do you want me to sit."

[butterfly_kiss]

Where the what now? You know what? She doesn't care. She gestures to a seat and goes to get her cleaning and suture kits.

"Just there. All of you are just making this difficult for me."

[playingtough]

He frowns. Billy wasn't even being difficult! Or, that's how he interprets her words, even as he goes and plops down with a hiss. "Not trying to be difficult if you're referring to me," he grumbles aloud."

Blood trickles over the shoulder as he presses against the claw marks. Then he leaves it be to chew around his fingernails, needing something to work his teeth around to try and ignore the pain throbbing through it.

How many of the people here tried to fight the monsters? How many got caught in the crossfire of it all? People like back home, like Heather, her parents?

[butterfly_kiss]

"Don't chew your fingers when your hand is covered with blood," Tae comes over to chide as she holds out a wet cloth. And a small plastic cup with two pills in it held carefully against a bottle of water.

"Pain killer and antibiotic. After you have those in you we'll start."

[playingtough]

It’s clear in his face that Billy is about to bite out some remark. A remark about how he’s fucking nervous, how his cigarettes are missing, how he needs to do something with his teeth. The words are there on the tip of his tongue, teetering on the edge of being a menace. But he pulls them back and swallows the words down. Turns to the side to lift his shirt so he can wipe the blood off of his lips.

She’s right. He shouldn’t chew on his fingers when he doesn’t know if it’s his blood or a monster‘s on them. His foot bounces. Billy takes the cup and downs the pills quick before he can think too hard about it. The foot continues to bounce. Once he’s swallowed the meds, that’s when he takes the wet cloth to get most of the blood off of his fingers before testing it against his bleeding shoulder. "Anxious. Been on edge since I saw what was through the gates. Almost too much. Trying to find something to do with my hands because I lost my cigarettes."

[butterfly_kiss]

"That is fair," she admits as she produces a lollipop from her pocket, lime this time, and holds it out to him.

"Here. I've got to keep you from shaking as much as I can if these require stitches."

[playingtough]

His foot still bounces. The thing is still out there, still in the gate waiting for him. Waiting to drag him back in with the vines to kill him. The one that broke free and rebelled and got away.

The cloth gets held against the claw marks and he hisses as he puts pressure against it. No, Billy doesn’t know if it’s helping or not.

The candy gets unwrapped and he quickly puts it in his mouth. His foot slows in the bouncing.

And even quicker he takes it back out with a disgusted look. "Oh that’s nasty. Lime?!" There’s a motion like he’s gonna throw it, but then he just clenches the stick in hand.

And his foot bounces.

[butterfly_kiss]

Okay, that's clearly a problem. Tae sighs and reaches into her pocket, pulling out a few more.

"Does grape work as a replacement?"
