Who: Hieke & You
What: Infirmary catch-all & a call for help
Where: The infirmary & elsewhere on campus
When: February
Warnings: Potential discussions of injury, probably.


a; the necessities

[The infirmary has seen a lot in the first month of the quarter alone - friends were born here and eventually taken away, people have been sick and injured and that's not even including the injuries people didn't go to the infirmary for. But come February, Hieke is a little bit more prepared for things. The infirmary is kept as tidy as ever, and he's even decorated for the holiday!

There are vases filled with flowers on his desk, and he's awkwardly taped some heart shaped decor to the wall. There was an attempt and that accounts for everything, even if he doesn't know anything about Valentine's Day.

However, the infirmary isn't only for the sick or injured. Students taking Hieke's class are more than welcome to stop by to ask for help or ask general questions - there's an office set aside for him, but he spends all of his hours in the infirmary anyways. It's the best place to catch him.]

b; the network (un: hieke)

Good afternoon.

I'm sorry to bother everyone, but I'm looking for something. A mushroom - native to the Outlands - that's not dangerous or anything, just a little mischievous. It managed to find out how to open the windows in my room, and now it's loose and locate and summoning magic were something I never spent much time studying.

It's about a foot tall, with a pale orange cap, so it should be pretty distinct. If you see it, please let me know! And mind the spores.

c; the wildcard

[If you want anything else or need Hieke for anything, let me know!]

Comments

[spelleton]

[ Early one February morning, Ekkehardt abruptly stands and pushes his chair back. Clearly a man with something on his mind. ]

I'm going to step out to get coffee. What do you like?

[inflictwounds]

[He starts as soon as Ekkehardt moves, before perking up.]

Oh, ah, just black coffee is fine.

[He's a simple daemon with simple tastes.]

A - also OTA to others, sorry about your inbox

[made_up_names]

[ Peter Parker stumbled in here in the wee hours of Sunday morning, in desperate need of medical attention; he had a hole through his shoulder and a broken leg and god knows how many bloodstains. Even after he's fixed up he's exhausted, finding that even his healing factor can't quite keep up with exhaustion of fighting a horrifying undead monster that very nearly killed him.

But by Monday at least, he's sitting up with a text book, diligently working on ... homework? Is that homework? Looks suspiciously like he's studying anti-undead explosive runes.

When he spots a visitor, Hieke or otherwise, he looks a bit sheepish. Knowing he's been pretty much AWOL for the last 48 hours at minimum. ]

Hey. Um. Sorry? I really didn't mean to stay here that long.

[leekspins]

[The next time Peter wakes up, there's a wrapped sandwich on a plate, a bag of potato chips, and an Orangina on his table.]

[There's also a letter sealed with a robot sticker that, if he doesn't recognize the handwriting, he would surely recognize the oddness factor.]

I didn't want to wake you, and I wasn't sure I could say it well in person anyway and control my emotions. The plans changed. My brother got turned. Hector saw it happen. You're still recovering, so please continue to do so. Tatsumaki will be with me, so I won't be alone, and I won't do anything stupid. I have to turn him back.

We'll be okay. Promise.

Orihime

[inflictwounds]

[The state Peter arrived in was worrying - so much so that Hieke's glad he didn't leave immediately like he was sure some other students would have. He doesn't ask him what happened - not yet - but he's admittedly curious.]

It's not a problem.

[He steps around the bed Peter's resting in, crossing his arms over his chest.]

Are you feeling okay?

A (closed), C (open)

[no_dejare_de_quererte]

[a: imelda, kano, hieke]

It's the middle of the day when Imelda arrives at the infirmary with Kano in tow, and for once it's not just Kano in need of assistance. Imelda looks soaked to the bone with freezing water, courtesy of the giant pond out on the campus grounds. There's a hefty bruise forming on the side of her face, near her temple and curling down around her cheekbone. Kano initially seems rather fine--until he drops his illusions inside the building, and it becomes clear that he's just as soaked and just as injured. His jacket has been wrapped around his arm, which was bleeding profusely.

Imelda, for one, looks relieved to see that Hieke is in.


[c: ota, imelda and/or kano]

Following their visit with Hieke, Imelda and Kano have been given dry uniforms and blankets to warm themselves up with. Perhaps you'd like to talk with one or both of them? They're sitting nearby, but it wouldn't be difficult to pull one aside, if the conversation calls for privacy.

[made_up_names]

Peter is here already? Peter is here already, exhausted but more or less intact, trying to remind his body what walking feels like. He's taking one of those walks now, turning the corner to find ...

Wait. What the hell? His eyes go wide as he sees Imelda and Kano sitting there. "Kano? Ms. Rivera? What - what happened?"

c

[spelleton]

I readily admit, I'd hoped I wouldn't have to see you again so soon in this context...but life has a way of bringing us all together, it seems.

How are you feeling? Is there anything else you need? [ Ekkehardt's a LITTLE concerned this keeps happening, and now Imelda's mixed up in it too apparently. But he doesn't ask too many questions. ]

C

[unpocoloco]

He's got more than a few reasons to be stopping into the infirmary as of late. Too many people he knows getting hurt, his own problems. He's gone quickly from avoiding doctors to finding a haunt here.

When he walks in, he's not expecting to see Imelda. He'd meant to find her actually, stop in here only quickly when he did. But there she is, wrapped in a towel. With all he's seen and all that's happened-- eyes wide and shellshocked, one hand gripping his cane, the other sleeve empty and rolled up, looking more like a corpse with his sunken eyes and cherks than he normally lets anyone see-- he almost can't react.

Almost.

His voice is a croak. He hardly even sees Kano beside her wrapped the same. His stomach feels like it's dropping out.

"Imelda? Oh my god, what are you doing here? What happened?" He's moving to her as fast as he can manage, thoughtless.

[playitagain]

Nana’s visions usually come when she sleeps. They might be mistaken for particularly vivid dreams — and with that same, incomplete quality that can make even the most vivid dream frustrating. In this case, all Nana saw was water and blood dripping on the floor... then Kano and Imelda, standing inside the infirmary. After that, it was gone. Context and meaning were not offered.

Until the fact it was quite real was. In her vision, the Giraffe simply was there: a massive, long-necked animal. His head turned to face Nana in her dream, as if she were the viewer behind the camera. Green eyes the same color as hers stared into her.

When the Giraffe spoke, his lips did not move. A rumbling, masculine baritone declared: ”I UNDERSTAND.”

When Nana wakes up, it’s with a start. She dresses in a hurry, but by the time she makes it to the infirmary, Kano and Imelda have been moved to their blankets. She manages to keep from running, but she is still hurried. She rounds the corner with wide eyes, looking around the room until she finds Kano. She walks quickly, and the worried expression on her face is plain to see.

She tugs her uniform coat, to straighten it. “K-Kano-san! I...” She stops herself there. Better to not explain how she knew. She switches to English. “Miss Rivera. ...are you okay?”

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya's in the infirmary for his own reasons, which include a fever and a runny nose as he covers up another sneeze. He thought the first few days he could just grit and bear it, but without taking proper rest it's increasingly apparent he needs some help fighting off this cold.]

Um, excuse me--[Sniff.

He pauses at the sight of Kano and Imelda before he actually finds the nurse, however.] Eh? Kano, what are you doing here?

a;

[inflictwounds]

[Hieke isn't exactly surprised to see Kano there - well. He is and he isn't. He's surprised he bothered showing up to the infirmary, but with one look at Imelda he sees why.

And then the illusion drops, and Hieke jumps from his seat. A spell is cast before he even makes it around his desk - checking for the extent of their injuries - and he reaches out to support Imelda.]

Did you - did you walk all the way here from the pond?

[Which is, perhaps, not the question he should be asking, but - it's the first thing he can think to say.]

B

[eudaimonikos]

Oh no, don't mess with those!
Does the handyman know you had it?

[You're gonna get your head jumped on, dude!]

[inflictwounds]

It's perfectly tame!
And I think he does?
He should?
I don't know what the handyman knows.

[He doesn't want his head to get jumped on!!]

B, I'm sorry

[missleading]

What's the reward if I bring it back?
I'll do it for $20

[ At least go for $25, Minako! ]

[inflictwounds]

I don't know what that is...

[what's a dollar]

WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE SPORES EXACTLY?

A

[eudaimonikos]

Hey.

[Michael wanders in, looking around at the Valentine's decorations idly. He's only been here once before, when he brought Tyzias in after her whole incident. This guy probably knows that he stuck around in her room until she woke up....ugh.]

I need you to show me how to fix humans when they break. You teach some kind of class on that, right?

[inflictwounds]

[He knows a lot of things, but he's at least got enough tact not to bring it up.]

Yeah, I do. [There's a slow, slow raise of an eyebrow.] Do you have any prior experience at all?

A - FEB 4 | Early Evening

[betheman]

[It's not long after Orihime has been in some sort of freak accident.

Again.

The story this time is that a tree fell and nearly crushed her- Gongenzaka caught it (With his BACK,) and proceeded to simply let it fall off of him however, so no one seems to be injured.

Seems, anyway. He might not be limping or anything but he also just took a formerly Alive tree to the back, and it wasn't exactly a small one. So the clacking of geta comes down to the infirmary, and with the clacking comes a 'small' bear in pajama pants.]

Auuh... Is a doctor in? [He calls, simply walking in and shifting a bit anxiously on his feet. There's always a doctor in, obviously, the question is which one. And also, it's just polite to ask.]

hieke feel free to jump in whenever

[spelleton]

Mr Gongenzaka. What can we do for you today?

[ Ekkehardt pushes back his chair and stands. Gongenzaka seems robustly healthy, from all he's seen of the boy, so if he was coming to the infirmary there must be something urgent he needs to deal with. ]

Feb 1-2, A - OTA

[subconmodo]

[February is a blight upon humanity, daemons, angels, fae, and every other existence oin the known universe. It had something against him. The fact that he's here in the infirmary after his first taste of a soul in ages just serves to prove his point.]

[Nevermind the fact that he knew the soul whose piece he'd eaten was tainted and he'd had it anyway.]

[Anyone who comes to visit Avery over the couple of days he's out with food poisoning will see a very, very grumpy professor looking more disheveled than he prefers to let anyone see, long bangs hanging oon his eyes, waistcoat, blazer, and cravat tossed carelessly somewhere to the side. The scarring around his neck is on full display, and he occasionally stops to vomit some sort of oily, great black substance into a nearby wastebin.]

[Hopefully Hieke will get on his case for it less than Ekkehardt]

2nd

[yokeye]

[Immediately after waking up in the infirmary, Toki decides it's completely unnecessary for him to be here and he's already on his way out. He stops half-way to the exit when Avery starts vomiting disgusting black stuff. Avery looks pretty disgusting himself, really. He must have drank a lot of it. Oblivious to the fact Avery currently doesn't have horns, Toki assumes the similarity in vomit means he's ingested Blue Devil Liquor like he had a week and a half ago.]

Don't name the devil!

[It's blurted out before he thinks it through, and now he wonders why this has happened.]

Did you have dinner with White Chain~!?

[Blue Devil Liquor is presumed to be a casual beverage as well as a language aid.]

[everybodypanic]

spores? what about them

[inflictwounds]

Try not to let them touch you. The effects don't linger very long, but it might still be disconcerting.
