Depowering Event Starts [open]

[glovedtouch]

Some point mid afternoon, a silence falls over the Mansion that's nearly as bad as it is outide. In a corner of the house, a blinding light speeds across the wing. A boy appears in just a white shirt and pants. The light then spreads, like a bright lensflare shuddering itself through the property

She hadn't gotten far into trying to walk to her room, when a strange feeling came over her.

However was the sudden pain that really hit her, followed by her body beginning to feel heavy. Slowly Yuriko sank to her knees, clutching her sides as the pain from all the mismanagement of her body began to fully drown her.

Lack of sleep, lack of food, the metal grafted to her bones, the constant pushing her body to the brink was catching up to her. It didn't take long for her to realize that her healing factor wasn't working. She tried in vain to push herself to her feet, but she could barely focus let along control her body. It wasn't long before everything went dim and then suddenly black.

Sean was one of the few who hadn't had a reason to realize something was wrong. He just hadn't tried to do anything out of the ordinary today.

Almost tripping on Yuriko, on the other hand, was a pretty big flag that something wasn't right.

He managed not to, mostly because there was enough light in the hallway, but the sight of her body down on the floor startled him. He blinked for a moment, then went down on his knees beside her, checking for fever. And pulse. He looked around to see if there was anyone who might have hurt her, but couldn't see anybody, and then he held her cheek lightly.

"Yuriko? Hey, you all right?"

At least there was pulse, right?

[hercoldblood]

Her pulse and the subtle movements of her breathing were the only true signs that she was indeed alive. However she remained unconscious as her body tried to deal with the sudden lack of healing powers and the onslaught of pain.

It certainly didn't help that she had been so careless with her own health, even away from Stryker's control.

This wasn't good. This wasn't good and it couldn't be good.

And lying on the floor was highly unlikely to be making it better. Sean looked each way in the hallway, then shook his head and carefully picked Yuriko up.

Or tried to. The first attempt was brought short by the fact that she sure weighed much more than she looked to. A lot more.

So moving her worked out slightly less clean than the anticipated picking her up, one arm around her shoulders and one under he knees, and carrying her to her own bed.

What he did manage was to get her into the nearest open common room and settle her on the couch. It had to be more comfortable, at least, right?

Breathing and pulse, though weak, were steady, and she didn't seem particularly disturbed by the motion. At least he didn't drop her, right? He shook his head after watching her a bit longer, threw the couch blanket over her, just in case, and slipped back out to try to find somebody adult who could tell him what to do to help her.

O HAI THAR

Scott's fervent need to bury his emotions through action was in full effect as he rushed up the stairs to check on the two people he prioritized as worst-effected by the lack of powers. As fate would have it, he stumbled across Sean and Yuriko before finding Logan.

In his rush, he nearly bowled Sean clean over in the hallway. However, his instinctual reaction time allowed him to maneuver around the teen without collision. He came to a stop when he noticed how out of breath and upset the boy looked.

"Are you alright, kid?" He didn't know Sean by name yet, but recognized him to be one of the students probably from the actual era.

YAY YOU'RE BACK! I'm ... putting this as after Sean was in the kitchen with Rogue?

"Whoa, careful!" He was, after all, carrying a cup of water. Most of which now ended up spilled on top of the both of them.

"I'm good, but Yuriko's passed out in there. Do you know what should be done? I was thinking of..." he raised the cup he was holding, "splashing water on her face?"

Doh totally missed that. Sure!!

[rubyquartzftw]

Normally Scott would have been pretty snarky with a student dumping a cup of water down his front, even if it had been mostly his own fault. Now, however, was not the time for it.

At Sean's description, Scott made for the room indicated. "I'm not sure that will do much for her... if everyone's lost their powers she's probably passed out due to either the pain involved with having metal bonded with her skeleton, or due to the poisoning of it."

No sugar coating the truth, then. "Help me carry her... we need to get her to the infirmary."

"Err... there is an infirmary here, isn't there?" Scott asked, suddenly less confident. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't remember having seen one.

It's all good.

[these_fish]

"Em..." Sean made a face. "We had only been here a very short time. Before the Stryker attack, there wasn't a reason for one; after that, there hasn't been exactly... furnishing a special room. Though I think there's remaining ... stuff left over from when the doctors were here for everybody."

He squinted at Yuriko, then added, "we might want to try to locate those and bring those here. She's much heavier than she looks."

Adamantium, but the teenager didn't know that particular right now.

[rubyquartzftw]

Sean's words made Scott worry. No infirmary probably meant no one here knew much about medicine. What he would give for Jean right now. Even without her power she was much better at things like this.

"What sort of... stuff?" Scott asked, raising an eyebrow. He knew a little first aid, but had no idea how to handle a woman who had the amount of complications Yuriko did. At this point, all he could do was hope she would wake up so they could better establish how to help.

Scott had never felt more out of his depth than right now.
