I just like getting him in deep ends.

[iam_aghost]

I am still... the age I was, I will be there shortly.

Can you check his pulse and whether he is breathing for me? Don't move him unnecessarily...

What are you doing to him?

[19centconstable]

I was shaking him.

Have you been told about the comas yet?

[iam_aghost]

Good Lord, that won't do him any good, please stop.

[pause] I know what a coma is. Is he breathing and is there a pulse?

[19centconstable]

Well I...have.

He is, but have you been told about the comas that go on here?

[Private]

[becauseheswill]

Get him down to the infirmary if you can. It's probably just a coma, but if there's something else wrong, I'll be able to tell.

[Private]

[19centconstable]

Are you certain it's safe to move him?

[Private]

[becauseheswill]

If I could take a look at him, I could be more sure. [Freaky not quite supernatural abilities and all.]

[Private]

[19centconstable]

We're in 2-3. The door is...quite open.

[sharpememory]

Is he dead?

[19centconstable]

No. No, it looks as though it's just a...normal coma. It's just a disturbing thing to stumble on.

[sharpememory]

Weird. Are you sure it isn't a head wound or something?

[19centconstable]

Yes, he's been taken to the infirmary, and looked at by a doctor.

[thebestnose]

[BIG. WIDE. EYES.] Is he going to be okay? [She might not like him, but she doesn't want him hurt.]

A bit later...

[19centconstable]

Yes. We've gotten him to the infirmary, and I'm certain he'll wake up shortly.

[No he isn't, but: brave face!]

[thebestnose]

How certain?

[19centconstable]

Er. Quite.

It's a coma. I'd never seen one in person.
