OOC: Open to anyone visiting Ralph in the hospital! =D I think she'll be home next week or so. But yeah, for those good girls who have been visiting their friend/teacher regularly. =P Roxy is welcome as well, of course, but... then she probably has to be with someone else. I mean, I don't really see her visiting her someone she doesn't know all on

((OOC: Guess I'll take this one, since Jessie/Seven/Kate's the main ones who probably were visiting. Though if anyone else wants to be there too, feel free to hop in wherever!))

Ralph awkwardly shuffled around, trying to find the door that she could not see. As she ambled her way forward, a silent observer stood there and watched. And the Slayer did run into something as she blindly worked her way towards the door. Something too unexpectedly soft to be a door or a wall.

She didn't say anything at first, giving Ralph a moment to figure out just what she had walked into. A moment later, the girl spoke. "Git your ass back in that bed," the newcomer said as she stood in the doorway. Head and shoulders taller than her friend, she glanced downward at the confused look on Ralph's face. "Ain't good for you to be wanderin' round like that. Don't know what...or who...ya might run in to."

Her hand was the first to encounter something soft. Something very soft and rather... round. The rest of her body soon followed, bumping against this soft 'wall' that should not be there. Her hand squeezed a bit in this soft thing. But then she heard a familiar voice, and that also immediately told Ralph what she was squeezing. She pulled her hand quickly back and in a vain attempt to see Jessie, she looked up at the taller girl.

She lowered it again with some careful shaking of her head. "No... no, I want to get out of here," Ralph mumbled as she searched for a way around Jessie. "I need to get out of here. Just... just for a little while. I don't want to be here anymore."

[cruisin_gal]

The tall blonde had to stifle a chuckle at Ralph's bewilderment. Though with the gravity of her situation, there really was little room to laugh or to cut up.

"Well, you know what the rules are," she said with a somewhat disapproving look on her face. Slowly that look made way for more of a cocky smirk. "But yeah, you also know how well I normally follow rules." Jessie reached out to place a hand on Ralph's shoulder. "You wanna get out of here? Let's get outta here." But a slightly stern warning did follow. "But you ain't going far, and you aren't goin' alone. Got it?"

[ralph_ashton]

Ralph didn't really listen. Rules be damned, she was going crazy in here. Besides, who was Jessie to talk about rules, like she always obeyed the rules! But then the Jessie Ralph knew better came back. Though the conditions... they weren't exactly what Ralph had hoped for. She wanted out of here, out of the hospital, back at her own room. She knew she would have tried getting back to St. Cat's if she could. And maybe even back to Haruka's dojo, where her two best friends probably were. She wanted to be away from all the problems. Running away from all her problems, if she could, and rely once again on her much taller, stronger and smarter friend.

But she couldn't do much about it, could she? Ralph was pretty sure Jessie would just drag her to bed if she didn't agree. So she agreed, nodded bit and mumbling some sort of agreement. She didn't sound too enthusiastic, but anything was better than being locked up in here.

((OOC: Continuing in a second set of comments here, so that the action from the first thread follows Ralph and Natsuki in the elevator.))Jessie raised a golden eyebrow as Ralph walked past Vanya as well, but there was not time for much more before Ralph wandered into the elevator, its metal doors sliding shut behind her

[witch_vanya]

Vanya returned the gaze with an expressionless mask of her own. "And what was I supposed to do? Wrestle her?" She shook her head and began to move towards the room Ralph had. She wasn't about to stand here with her basket of fruit until Ralph returned.

"I know how it is to be in a hospital and how lonely it can get. I can ask the same about you, after that argument you two had, the night before she got into the accident..."

[cruisin_gal]

"Hey," she immediately responded, her voice beginning to raise. "That ain't none of yo' business..."

She bit her lip, stopping short of what she intended to say. This wasn't the best place to get into an argument, and she didn't particularly feel like spending the rest of forever as the shuffling undead. She exhaled strongly, huffing her breath and releasing with it the frustration that had threatened to break through. "Just toss that fruit basket in there on the table. Next to the other one." Jessie's lips turned into a somewhat wry expression. "What, I did the same for you when I was tryin' to cheer you up when you were hurtin'. Don't act surprised..."

[witch_vanya]

"Then keep your thoughts to yourself. Anything I pick up becomes my business." There was only a mere side glance at Jessie. "And you should know by now I am never surprised, especially not when it comes down to the stupidity of other people."

She moved into Ralph's room without bothering to look at Jessie again or paying any more attention to who used to be her friend.
