Who: Everyone messed up by the dragon plot, and visitors
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Blue Fish's clinic!
When: All throughout the Solrius dragon plot and through the space flight to the next destination.

[So several RPG characters, a dragon, and two messianic figures walk into a planet.

Everything is suffering and tears, there's a lot of dead people, there's no punchline. But, hey, for the survivors, the Blue Fish's clinic is treating wounds and generally being a decent place to rest and recover and pray you don't see a dragon again. And for those who weren't involved, there's enough people bedridden here that there may just be someone you want to visit.]

[British Spiderman, that's what]

Not the ones usually found in the fleet, no. This recent incident aside, we've been very lucky so far. Most of the time if there is a problem, I've been able to find peaceful resolutions without needing to use my powers. Even with Sascha I didn't need to use them.

[He sighs and his shoulders slump]

But unfortunately...that's not always the case.

No, and it's smart of you to prepare for what might come our way next.

[He grows quiet, his gaze falling onto his (clasped-together) hands, and on his daylight ring. If they hadn't just fought Mikleo, if they hadn't just heard Mikleo scream, then maybe he would've brought up his darker tendencies.

This isn't the time or the place for such a thing. Maybe later, once they've all recovered.]

Speaking of prepared... I heard something about a jetpack?

Mm, exactly.

[Especially when he can't help but feel they got off lucky that fight. He's gotten rusty, and he knows it. That fight showed him that. Too many years without the constant fighting. Sure, he was still good...but if one of his old enemies showed up, it could be a problem.

But he'll focus on what Stefan brings up instead of mentioning that]

Oh, yeah! Sokka made me one!

And you thought to bring that into the battlefield?

[He's not even judging (for once in his immortal life). Stefan'd heard the whole story from Eithan, and while he's trying to sincerely comprehend it, he just. He doesn't get it.]

Well, technically it was for the dragon. It kept flying away, so Sokka thought I could use a jetpack to catch up if it tried again!

It didn't work out exactly like that, but it still came in handy!

It sure sounds like it. [...] Were you gonna attach it to the shuttle?

Um, no. Shuttles already have engines, Stefan. That's how they move.

I was going to use it on myself. Fly up and grab onto the dragon with my ribbons like a grappling hook. [Duh.]

[You know, in his sleep-deprived state, attaching it to a shuttle and giving it MORE POWER still made more sense than attaching it to yourself.]

That doesn't sound much better.

It's not so bad, I've done similar moves in the past.

You have???

[He rubs his temples, because he seriously can't believe what he's hearing right now.]

I'm afraid to ask what else I missed.

[he nods]

Not with a jetpack. But one of my comrades can fly with her Innocence. So sometimes when an enemy would be flying higher than I could reach, she'd fly me up and toss me at them. [TEAMWORK]

Oookay then.

[Like he can judge, given what he's done in the name of saving Elena from whoever tried to kill her that week.]

Remind me to never get between you and... well, anything ever again.
