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.]

[After her attempt to solo evil jesus and his pet dragon failed, Nightingale has been confined to the clinic bed for several cracked or broken bones, water in the lungs, cuts all over the body from running into razor wind like an idiot, and a surprising amount of damage overall. But perhaps not as much damage as you would expect from someone trying to do that fight solo. Still, she looks incredibly messed up still, even once she's awake. It's bad.

Despite the bandages all over, on her face especially, she is fairly energetic, constantly shifting and shuffling and generally making things worse on herself. She's too worried about Sorey and Mikleo to sit still, and she's full of anxious energy.

Someone should probably stop her. Or bring her something to do. She's so bored and can't do anything but worry. Send help.]

[honestly, after everything that happened, it's going to be difficult to make opal leave nightingale's side while she's recovering. that's why she's there the first time nightingale starts to stir and shift around. she reaches towards her gently.]

Hey. Take it easy...

[experiencepoints]

[She stops, and slumps back down, glancing up at Opal.]

... Sorry. I'm just worried...

[robitussin]

No, I get it... But you're going to hurt yourself.

[a pause]

How are you feeling?

[experiencepoints]

Worried.

[and possibly high on painkillers.]

And confused, but mostly worried.

[robitussin]

Your head got hit pretty hard...

[sighs]

But that isn't really what I meant.

[experiencepoints]

... What did you mean?

[that's not why i'm confused except it is a little.]

[robitussin]

Like, physically. How are you feeling?

[experiencepoints]

Like I got the shit beaten out of me by an asshole strong enough to tame a dragon.

[notzubats]

[Sora heard about Nightingale getting injured from the dragon - from Mikleo and Sorey. Of course, he's worried about his friend. So you can bet first chance he gets, he's coming to visit.]

[So Nightingale, have a teenager on one day rushing over to her side, with much concern]

Nightingale! Are you okay?

[experiencepoints]

[Well, she's cringing from the volume, so that's a good sign.]

I'm fine. Please don't shout.

[She is absolutely not fine.]

[notzubats]

-Oh! [Dramatic whisper!] Sorry!

And you don't look fine.

[experiencepoints]

I am totally fine.

I just got my ass kicked, that's all.

[notzubats]

[Yeah sure Nightingale whatever lets you sleep at night...]

[He frowns with worry]

Was it...? [You know. his crewmates]

[experiencepoints]

It wasn't Sorey.

[She's instant and firm on that point.]

Whatever he is, whatever that is... It is not Sorey.

[notzubats]

Yeah....Dezel said he got corrupted by some kinda malevolence stuff.

If he hurt you, then he's definitely not thinking straight.

[experiencepoints]

[She laughs a little, then winces.]

He's definitely not. Though I did hit him first.

... Still. He would never do this. So it's not him.

[robitussin]

Makes sense.

[breathes out a sigh]

You really scared me, you know?

[experiencepoints]

... Sorry.

But... I don't think I was hallucinating when you showed up to save me. How did you know...?

[robitussin]

Is that really what matters right now? Like, seriously?

[notzubats]

Yeah, I know that...

[But from the way she keeps making it clear]

Are you really okay? You sound pretty shaken up.

[experiencepoints]

... I guess not. I'm just curious...

[not like i can do anything else]

[experiencepoints]

... I just got my ass kicked by a faceless version of my friend, and maybe upended a lot of what I know about magic at the same time.

Also, painkillers. I'm pretty messed up right now.

[robitussin]

Yeah, well, I'm curious as to why I found you alone, bleeding and half dead, about to be eaten by a fucking dragon. Can we start with that?

[experiencepoints]

I-

[She cringes, like a child being scolded. But she breathes, and focuses. She's more than that now. She's moving on. She doesn't have to be scared of Opal, or how she'll react.]

I didn't think there would be a fight. That's... I thought, if it's Sorey and Mikleo, I can talk to them. They're my friends. I thought... They wouldn't want to hurt me, so we could talk... And if it looked like it was going to be violent, they're still people. I could just cold-cock them with sleep spells.

... I was arrogant.
