006 - action/voice; i came in like troy walking in with pizza

[geonomy]

Who: Clay Terran + You people
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: On the Iskaulit
When: June 7th, a bit after this

[You know, Clay hadn't been expecting a day like this. All he was doing was going to the Iskaulit to do some workouts in the gym, even bopping to a tune playing in his head.

Of course, that all comes a stop when he sees the mess before he sees anyone else. Blood trailing through the hallway, like someone had been walking with it. His stomach churns a bit, and his first instinct is to flee and get someone with medical help. Like Jennifer, or Beverly, or...

But no, he's here, and he... doesn't really realize just how bad it is yet. He returns to his shuttle first to grab the first-aid box, then heads in to see who needs his help.

And upon following the trail, well... Turns out, it's a lot worse than he thought it'd be, and that instinct from before comes back full force. He's only had some lessons, he's not prepared for this level of medical trauma, he really isn't -

And that's why he'll be calling out on the comms - not video, because there are kids on the network, but it's pretty clear by the state of his shaky voice that this is definitely an emergency.]

I-I need doctors - healers, medics -

[He takes in a deep breath - ]

I need all medical personnel to the Iskaulit right now!

[Through the power of magic possibly she managed to put off Winn's concerns long enough for others to have been patched up first. She's actually just leaving the gardens as Simon was heading toward it. She has Winn with her when she notices Simon.] Time for one more?

[Blood has dried in her hair and there's a small wound on her scalp, no longer bleeding. No other apparent injuries.]

[winn]

[ winn's concerns also keep his arm wrapped around her, ready to prop her up if she appears to stumble, and reassuring himself that she is indeed here - standing beside him - alive and mostly well, he hopes. head injuries can be dangerous, he knows, and he's relieved when she doesn't require prompting or persuading to see help anymore. ]

Please. [ he's been doing his best trying to clean her wound, but he doesn't really know what he's doing here beyond the barest of basics. he knows others have it much worse - he's tries his best to help them as the blood on his clothes seems to attest - but this is the woman he loves. his eyes are practically begging - please help her. ]

[pompous_today]

[Simon smiled at the two of them, his demeanor being the usual professional one he had when he was treating patients.]

Of course. Let's find a place to sit down- preferably away from the worst of it. How bad is it?

[passingthrough]

There's a bench in here. [She turns back toward it.] The cut's not deep. I just didn't have anything to stop the bleeding mid-fight. Headache, dizziness, tired, trouble focusing. [She pauses not because of that trouble but because she didn't mention this one to Winn and he's going to worry.] I threw up once. Pretty sure it's a concussion, but I'll let you do the doctoring. [And she's walking fine, eyes look fine, and clearly she can hold a conversation though the longer they go the more likely she is to drift out of it.]

[winn]

[ and worry he does. he keeps his arm around her as she walks, the other ready to leap into action should she require and steadying, and only steps away once she's seated so simon could have some space to work. ]

Should I get anything? [ he's been playing errand boy to doctors since he arrived, he knows where most of the supplies are located by now, and what's what. ]

[pompous_today]

[Simon nodded as Kitty sat down, and he began examining her wound, turning to Winn first.]

Some water, please- and if you can find a flashlight, that would be even better. [Then, back to Kitty as he snaps some rubber gloves on and takes out some antispetic to begin cleaning her wound-]

I may have to take you to a medbay to determine that for sure. Obviously you struck your head... anything else feel injured or broken?

[passingthrough]

[She gives a reassuring smile to Winn in hopes of letting him know it's okay to go even if he was the one who suggested it.]

I wouldn't exactly say I was the one who struck it. [Wry. She does take some time to answer the next question because it's hard to assess with the headache.] No, he didn't land many hits.

[winn]

[ winn digs around in his pocket for the phone cisco made him, and turns on the turn-flash-into-flashlight app he programmed on it, handing it to simon ]

Here you go - I'll go get that water.

[ he takes off running, as if kitty's life depends on how fast he can fetch water. ]

[pompous_today]

Thank you. [He smiled at Winn before turning back to Kitty, examining her wound more closely with the light before going back to the business of disinfecting it.]

So you were struck by the assailant- was it with a blunt object, or did he throw you...? Concussion is looking the most likely, at any rate.

[passingthrough]

I...

Mm, I'm not sure I remember. [Some of her memories blurred at the time it happened. Even separating herself from him was a little hazy. Also it hasn't been played out yet. She's glad Winn isn't there to hear that. Less worrying is better.]

[pompous_today]

[Simon nodded.]

That often happens with head trauma. Once I finish cleaning and dressing your wound, you'll have to be on rest for a couple of days... unless you have a healing ability?

[passingthrough]

I wish. [She's seen Logan recover from all kinds of things. Then again she'd rather all kinds of things not happen to her in the first place.] I can become intangible. [Pause] When I can focus. [Maybe too much information. Try not to use it to attack her, doctor. Since, by the way, she can't focus very well now. At least not very consistently which makes strolling through solid objects dangerous.]

[pompous_today]

I'm sure that comes in handy. [Simon's definitely not inclined to use that against her- he's mostly trying to keep her talking; if she falls unconscious, that's a bad thing, and he'd have to get her under a brain scan.] ...I may have to give you a quick scan back on my ship to make sure nothing else is broken, if that's okay.

[passingthrough]

Yeah, that's fine. The medical lab on the Windrose sounds like it's at full occupancy. I just need to get there soon. [She is extremely tired from it, but she's been keeping herself going. Lots of endurance training for this one.] Winn will come too. I'll need him to fly me back.

[pompous_today]

[Simon smiled.]

I can take you to the Bloodsport, actually- we have a medlab, and as far as I know, nobody has been put there yet. Winn- is he the man who was with you?

[passingthrough]

Sure. Just to check me out though. I need to get back to the Windrose as soon as possible.

[She starts to nod and then the headache reminds her that's a terrible idea.] Yeah. Boyfriend. He's worried about me. So, you know, try to keep it upbeat around him.

[pompous_today]

[Simon smiled quietly at that- and felt a pang of jealousy, despite the situation. He was reminded during stressful times like this how much he could have used Kaylee's sunshine in his life, and Jennifer's uncanny resemblance to her definitely didn't help.]

Then I'm sure he'll help take good care of you. It is fine if you want to go back to your ship to recover, just as long as you rest for a few days.

[passingthrough]

[Maybe you should try hanging out with Jennifer. Except...]

Promise. I'll do it for his nerves if nothing else. [She'll do it for herself too as long as there isn't an emergency there's nothing to justify her pushing herself into something more severe.]

[winn]

[ and here comes said nervous boyfriend, running, with that water; he has a glass, and a bottle, and a proper flashlight, too. he holds all these things up to simon so he can take whichever he needs. ]

How's it looking?

[pompous_today]

Thank you. Could you hold the flashlight up for me? [Simon offered Kitty the water bottle, then used the rest to clean some of the blood out of her hair and around the wound so that he could finally put a proper bandage on it.] Sip, don't gulp; I'd hate for you to pass out of dehydration as well. [Then, to Winn:] I'd like to take her back to the Bloodsport so I can run a brain scan. We're both thinking it's a concussion, but I'd like to see how severe it is, and if there's any other internal damage. Will you help me get her to a shuttle?

[passingthrough]

[She'll just hold still while he takes a look. At least until she has the water. She quietly follows instructions, but can't helps lightly rolling her eyes—on purpose, there is nothing wrong—when he asks for help getting her to a shuttle.] I can walk. I can also bite anyone who tries to carry me.

[winn]

Won't be my weirdest bite mark.

[ he tries to keep his tone light, but his eyes are quietly begging her. he's worried out of his mind. ]

Come on - doctor's orders.

[ he strokes her cheek gently and pockets his phone now that it's no longer needed. his lack of muscle mass is going to make this hard enough as it is, he's seriously hoping she's not going to fight him on this on top of it. then again, he's still worried enough to have adrenaline on his side. ] You can carry me if I ever need a brain scan, promise.

[ he tries to coax her into his arms. ]

[pompous_today]

[Undaunted by the biting threat- he'd definitely heard worse from patients- Simon finished dressing the wound and began packing away his supplies. He also didn't miss the looks, touches, and concern from Winn, and was rather glad he was here.]

We don't have to carry you, just support you along- but I do not want you to pass out and injure yourself further. If you can walk under your power, all the better, but I will most definitely be helping you along as much as I can.

[passingthrough]

[She stiffens and her eyes narrow at Winn's gentle coaxing. It's not the reaction she would normally want to be having, but she's injured and feeling vulnerable without being able to reliably phase yet. It puts her reactions much closer to a fight or flight place than that of logic. If he'd tried to pick her up, she would have fought him which isn't good for either of them or their relationship.

She gets to her feet and pulls away to put some distance between them more quickly than advisable, but she manages to stay comfortably on her feet. She would have accepted walking with support a few minutes ago, but now she's too wound up.] I said I can walk. [Voice firm.] Stay here and debate it or follow me.

[winn]

Kitty - [ he runs up to her side, not understanding where any of this is coming from. he wraps an arm around her, to support her the way he has when they came looking for simon. ] please, just let me help you. For me - I need this, ok?

[ he knows she's strong, he's never questioned it, not for a second. he's not sure what she's trying to prove here - but it's proven, it's done. if what will get her to accept help is him being weak - he's perfectly fine with it. ]
