Who: Rinoa and you!
What: Visits while she's recovering in the medical clinic
Where: Clinic
When: The 7th and 8th of this month
Style: I'll match you!
Status: Open to all!

[Although the monitors and wires and needles still scared Rinoa, the care she has been receiving counter-balanced the uneasiness the place made her feel. And really, the doctors and nurses had been doing a good job of taking care of her, to the point where she was likely ready to go home in another day or two.

All in all, she was lucky. She wasn't as drugged as the other victims (although it was going to make for some bad nightmares for awhile). The needlemarks on her arms were covered with band-aids, and the tears in her back were stitched and bandaged. The only other visible injury was her eye. The swelling had gone down, leaving a nice black and blue bruise in its wake. That would heal on its own.

But until she was clear to leave, she was stuck in there, with only her SFC and a small television to keep her occupied. Now that the drugs had been flushed out of her system, she was coherent. And she could really use some company.]

[There was a slight cough from the other side of the curtain before it was pushed aside revealing a teenage boy no older then the age of sixteen dressed in regular everyday wear with a white doctor coat slipped over it. Hello Rinoa- meet the doctor that had been taking care of you.]

Oh. Good Afternoon, Madam. How are you feeling today?

[sorcery_fledgling]

[To be honest, Rinoa would have been seriously skeptical about someone so young taking care of her if she hadn't been so out of it when she got here. Luckily, he proved himself to her. Especially considering her active fear of needles right now, she didn't make it easy on anyone...]

Hey. I'm feeling a little better. My head doesn't hurt anymore.

[And now that she's thinking clearly, her doctor looks a bit like someone else she knows.]

[has_too_many_moles]

[Yukio offers her a small smile as he handed her a cup of ice water.]

That's good... You are healing better then some of the others but perhaps it was because you were not as heavily drugged as them.

[There was a small pause as the teenaged doctor read the clipboard that was stationed next to the foot of her bed before he shook his head and replaced it.]

As it is... Until you are completely back to health I would like it if you would remain in the hospital for a couple more days just to make sure.

*Selphie was there in a shot, the moment she got word from Squall that Rinoa was okay. She appeared at the clinic with her arms full of baskets - some brimming with flowers, others with chocolate and candy, one full of fruit, and another with soaps and a large cuddly chocobo. Each basket was decorated with a huge colourful ribbon. So when Selphie entered, probably only her feet can be seen, but of course she yells out*

Rinoa!~

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Rinoa was just beginning to doze off when she heard her name called. Sitting up, she almost gawked when she saw all those baskets, and the boots on Selphie's feet.]

Selphie?! Oh my - you didn't have to bring all of those!

[She reaches out to take a basket or two off her hands, because holy crap.]

[booyaka_boom]

Oh! Don't worry! I got 'em! Easy!

*Selphie didnt let Rinoa take any of the baskets, just put them down one by one surrounding her with them*

Nah..it‘s just a coupla things, ya know, to cheer you up and keep you happy!

*But when Selphie finally looks at Rinoa, her face begins to crumple up*

[detectiveprincess]

[Naoto hadn't been in Vatheon long when she tried to help with the case. But the fact that she couldn't do anything to help anyone made her feel less than great. She had heard vaguely about the last victim being taken to the hospital. So that's why she was here.

Softly swallowing, she knocked on the door gently, but kept her head down. She was not going to give her gender away too easily, however she was sure she had already done so.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Rinoa hears the knock and leans over, trying to see if she could tell who it is.]

Come in.

[detectiveprincess]

[She comes into the room, slowly looking up at the woman. She feels her heart clench a little at the sight. It makes her somewhat sick at the fact that she couldn't save this person and now they would be scarred for life. It was just like Nanako and how she couldn't get to her, how she couldn't save her before Namatame had gotten to her.

She clears her throat a little, trying to get it to the male voice she so often uses.]

Hello, ma'am.

[topsseifer]

[Next time he was going to make sure he knew her allergies. He was pretty sure she wasn't allergic to flowers, but he was a bit worried now that he was at the clinic that he totally was wrong with that. Maybe he should have went with the sugar cookies instead?
He made sure to find a bouquet that had blue flowers at least! She did wear a lot of it, so she must like it enough, right? Man, he really needed to just ask her this when she's better.

Hayner found himself in the door way and wasn't sure if he should come in or not.

It wasn't until there was a nudge from a passing nurse before he finally walked in.]

H-hey. Are you awake?

[Dumb question. He'll busy himself with pulling a chair over to sit beside her bed.] You aren't allergic, right?

[sorcery_fledgling]

[She thought she saw someone lingering in the doorway, but it had been hard to tell. When Hayner finally does some in, she's quietly munching on a piece of chocolate Selphie had delivered. She smiles when he comes in and shakes her head.]

Nope, no allergies. Those are really pretty, Hayner.

[fightforastar]

[Tifa doesn't go into the room right away. She stands in the hallway outside for a little while, staying out of the way of the staff, just looking in. She can't help feeling like she could have done something to prevent this. She'd thought Rinoa going to stay with her friends would be best, but what if she'd offered to stay with her a while instead, or at least escort her? Maybe Rinoa wouldn't be here now.

Maybe it just would have been someone else lying there.

Tifa lets out a sigh and goes up to the doorway, knocking on the frame as she pokes her head in, a soft smile ready on her face.]

Can I come in?

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Rinoa is seriously contemplating chucking the poor excuse of tapioca away when she hears the knock. Looking over, she smiles and nods.]

Yeah, come in!

[ladyinscarlet]

[Angelina was not Rinoa's attending doctor, but as she goes by her door, she notices the girl is awake.]

Good evening, Miss. Is everything fine?

[sorcery_fledgling]

Yeah, I'm okay.

[She looks a little curious as to the new doctor, but she doesn't mind otherwise as she points to the TV.]

Although after watching all these reruns of Vatheon Survivor, I'm starting to question that.

[unshelledbullet]

[Squall lingers outside of Rinoa's hospital room door for a few minutes, debating whether he should go in. On the one hand, he wants to see her, badly. He even bought her a get well gift. On the other, he feels like he doesn't deserve to, having failed to protect her.

Eventually, a certain nurse gets tired of his annoying wishy-washy putzing around, opens the door, and literally pushes him in.

And that is why Squall Leonhart is standing in Rinoa's room, holding a plushie in both arms.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Cielo, she owes you have a high-five later.

The door opening catches her attention, and she watches the scene with wide eyes. People have made a number of entrances into her room, but that one takes the cake.

Her face immediately brightens when she sees Squall, and there's no containing that smile.]

There you are.

[And of course she notices the stuffed animal.]

What's that?

Late @-@

[not_heavens_adam]

[Johnny had heard about what had happened to Rinoa and, to be honest, he'd been delaying the visit he wanted to pay her. He was being a coward and all because he couldn't help thinking he should have just moved in with her and watched out for her when they'd talked.

It wouldn't have been an issue and maybe...

The vampire's grip on the container in his hand tightened as he approached the door to her room.

There was no point delaying anymore, he was here and he would only be more of a coward if he ran away now.

That trademark smile firmly in place, he pushed the door open and stepped in, giving a small salute.]

Yo~

[He'd failed at preventing...maybe he could do a better job at fixing.]

Look at you, all dolled up in a lovely hospital scrub and you still look gorgeous~

neverrrrr

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Rinoa is currently snuggled with both of her plushies when Johnny walks in. She smiles and waves, giggling at his compliment.]

I'm not so sure about that, but I try. [The black eye kind of ruins it, to be honest.]

[bufudine]

[Serph is fairly late in coming to visit Rinoa; as much as he would have liked to keep her company earlier, he has a duty to the city, now. The more time sensitive matters come first. Of the four Defense Force quadrant leaders, he's the one most composed, so it had fallen on him to speak to the city at large. Serph knows how to handle losing people who've been under his care. Serph knows how to handle having people close to him hurt. But Serph knows better than to beat himself up over it; he can't afford to dwell on guilt or wishing he'd done something differently in the past.

Nevertheless, he's glad Rinoa's still with them.

Serph doesn't knock when he enters, but he gives her a nod in greeting. Unlike many of the others, though, Serph lacks a gift.]

How are you feeling?

[Well the obvious answer is "like crap" but he wants more specific crap levels, here.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Funnily enough, Rinoa's looking at that very post when Serph enters. She looks up, shutting off her device and giving him a tired smile.]

Okay. Better than I was when I got here. Pain meds are helping.

Raaaahh, laaaate !!

[applepies]

[Asato makes his way to Rinoa's bedroom, as discreetly as he can, almost hugging the walls. He knows that if he finds himself in Muraki's presence, the hood of his jacket won't hide him from the other man.

So there's a sigh of relief when he finally reaches his destination and peeks in the bedroom, trying to hide the flowers and cookies he brings behind his back.]

R-Rinoa-san... ?

Nooo ;;

[sorcery_fledgling]

Asato!

[Rinoa sits up in bed, gesturing for him to come in and take a seat.]

[teradine]

[Squall's broadcast had been enough to scare her, and the broadcast later from Rinoa herself had been even worse. It was a relief when Serph could announce that the man responsible had finally been detained . . . and now the only thing left was to visit her. There's no question about it, of course. Argilla would definitely go.

She only wonders if she's ready, to see her in such a state.]

. . .

[Luckily, with the clinic's care, she would have to be in better condition than before. So . . . probably sometime after Serph has visited, there's a quiet sigh outside of Rinoa's room. Argilla closes her eyes--

And then, she enters.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[A lot of people had come to visit her, friends and doctors alike. Still, there were a couple more people she was hoping to see, Argilla being of them.

So there's a big smile waiting for Argilla when Rinoa sees her.]

Hey Argilla!
