Day 29: Sun Room

[not_rly_fai]

It was with some relief that Yuuhi awoke the next morning, in his own bed, sore and tired and achy.  He would've slept more had they let him, his face down in the pillow, away from all the others and their questions and their concern.  He didn't want to see them, but he managed a little smile when the nurse came in and didn't object when she lead

Shana had awoken in her own room, with no sign of Valyn and the vague feeling of a headache lingering at the back of her eyes. She was still tired, but her nurse nudged her up and out of bed. Her leg was still expertly bandaged, and while it still hurt, the pain wasn't unbearable, though there was a definite limp to her movements as her nurse escorted her down the hall to the Sunroom.

She glanced around, noting the room was still mostly empty, and no sign of Keman, Valyn, or Shadow as of yet. Her stomach rumbled, but apparently breakfast was to be late this morning - it figured.

Yawning, she found a quiet couch in the sun and stretched out to soak up the warmth, thinking maybe she'd catch a little more sleep until it was time to east. Sunshine always made her sleepy, even if she wasn't like Keman, who adored soaking up the rays for entirely different reasons.

Waking up in his room left Shadow with a strange feeling. The last thing he remembered was Daemon advancing towards him. At least he wasn't any worse for wear. His should still felt a bit bruised but that was to be expected after running right into an invisible brick wall. Still, he counted himself lucky that was all the damage he had received and he hoped that Valyn and Shana had made it through the night without killing each other and that Keman had healed. As the nurse prodded him out of bed he figured he'd find out sooner as opposed to later

Shana lazily blinked one eye open to peer at him. "Too much what?" she asked, sliding over a bit to make room for him. "Where did you go, anyway? You were gone a long time.Was Keman alright?"

[valyns_shadow]

"Too much of a burden to look after," Shadow laughed, sitting down. He decided to avoid telling her about last night as much as he could. He didn't want to see what she thought of him wandering around by himself or the fact that he had gotten himself into a bit of trouble.

"And I got a bit lost last night," Shadow shrugged. "Took a right when I should have taken a left and ended up at a dead end. I just ducked into a room and waited out the rest of the night."

[Mika Mika! Will delete if you have plans, so let me know?]This was the second time Ururu woke up without remembering falling asleep, and she still didn't like it much. And worse, she hadn't made it to M23 after all. Now the man who kept speaking over the intercom was talking about plans for the day, but she wasn't listening too much

[not_rly_fai]

He'd noticed Ururu before she got near the couch where he sat, but he waited until she was close before he dog-eared the book and set it down beside him. He gave her a smile, though it wasn't all it might have been the day before. There was still no sign of the others and after last night, it was becoming more and more difficult to hope.

"Good morning to you too Ururu," he offered, "I'm doing just fine. You were really impressive last night, you know? I had no idea you were so amazing. I hope you're doing alright too?" He tried to keep the worry from his face, but he'd seen the way she walked, with a little more stiffness and caution than most children. He'd abandoned her last night to find help for Keman, but... she'd seemed to be doing alright.

[bewarethecute]

Ururu had to pause just then, when Fai put down his book to talk to her. The way Fai had looked and the way he smiled just then seemed really familiar, but not enough that Ururu could say why. But somehow, that look made Ururu wonder if maybe Fai wasn't hiding something.

He probably had a good reason if he was. But Ururu still worried.

It took the girl a moment to realize when Fai was talking about; the switch did give her power, but she could never remember it well. Everything in her became devoted to beating the enemy; Ururu knew that, and she simply accepted it as part of who she was.

"Thank you. I'm glad I could help." Hopefully she had. Fai said he was doing okay, and even though Ururu didn't quite believe him, he didn't look hurt. "Is Keman-san okay too? What happened after I started to fight?"

[not_rly_fai]

He gave the seat next to him a pat, a silent invitation if she wanted to sit. If she was injured, it was probably best she take it easy. "Keman's just fine," he assured her. "I met some of his friends and they were very nice. One of them was a healer, so they made him all better."

He didn't know all of it for certain, just that Keman's friends had come, healed him, and taken him inside while he played at being a target for one of the birds. Or he had until Rukia showed up. That seemed to have been where all his night's troubles began. "Did you find your friend?" he added, once he'd remembered. He'd told her, hadn't he? That her friend would probably be here, fine, and ready to meet her in the morning. Hopefully that was true.

Considering the fact that Tsuzuki had spent the entirety of the previous day in his room, he was dying to at least step foot outside of it today. It didn't help that being confined to his sickbed with a stomach bug had been a miserable experience. At least he hadn't been forced to go on that trip. What kind of nurse would have pressured him into leaving the building when he could barely hold himself upright anyway?

Still feeling a little ill this morning, Tsuzuki didn't care much about the chapel. Instead, he asked to be led to the Sun room, where he found the most comfortable looking couch and dropped into it. They could call him lazy if they wanted, just as long as he didn't still feel sick when the all-you-can-eat breakfast came around. He was looking forward to that.

Mumbling something that sounded like 'thank you' to the nurse who'd helped him, Tsuzuki draped his arm over his eyes to block out the light.

It was with a slight start that Hanyuu awoke, and she had to spend a moment trying to remember the previous days events. The last thing she remembered, was curling up in a seat on the bus, after spending most of the day walking around with Rena. Had she fallen asleep, then

Nightshift was terrible - well, Rika had the idea that it was supposed to be terrible, but it seemed more terrible than usual. She had finally gotten a glimpse of the monsters she was warned about and she could have lived several lifetimes over before seeing one ever again. But really, compared to Hinamizawa... was this place really worse? Rika still had troubling deciding that one out

[meironohosoku]

Though Hanyuu typically jumped when people approached her in this place, her reaction this time was different. She couldn't help but smile as she heard the familiar voice calling her, and she wasted no time in jumping up from her seat as the other girl ran over.

"Rika!" Hanyuu hadn't thought she'd ever be happy to see anyone she knew in this place, but knowing that Rika was here made her happier than she had been since first arriving. "Thank goodness you're here!"

There were still some things Hanyuu was trying to reaccustom herself with when it came to the physical world, but physical contact wasn't one of them (she had gotten well used to that her first night). Therefore, she didn't show any surprise at the touch on her shoulder-- in fact, Hanyuu took it a step further by giving Rika a quick hug.

"I've been so worried, Rika," the former spirit began, her smile fading, "I thought you were still in Hinamizawa. How long have you been here?"

[endlessjune]

It was sort of funny that Rika had been more surprised at Hanyuu gaining a physical form than Hanyuu herself was, but Rika had thought Hanyuu wasn't here at all! The way she spoke though... the girl could already tell that her spirit friend (or, ex-spirit friend) was not responsible for bringing her to this world.

"As did I," Rika nodded, her voice dropping down to her serious tone. "I came here about two days ago - what about you? How did you get here?"

Rika sometimes took Hanyuu for granted, and she knew this. 100 years could make her ill-tempered and harsh towards the spirit, but she truly was relieved and happy to know that Hanyuu was here. A familiar face, especially one that she had been bonded to for so long, was very appreciated.

It felt as if he had just started to frown at Kikyo's command to get out of the man's way when the intercom had chimed in, and Aya had known there wasn't time left for anything. He woke up in his bed not knowing whether to feel relieved or frustrated. Yet another futile night behind. But at least he now had neatly tied bandages around his shoulder as well as side. And deciding from the bold scent of antiseptic in the air, his wounds should be clean as well. He didn't know what to think of the fact that his right side felt oddly like nothing -- not numb, or hurting, just perfectly fine. He had refused to eat any kind of pain medication, and no knife wound would heal in just a week
