Characters: Yukiko and OPEN
Setting: Infirmary
Format: I'll follow
Summary: Yukiko wastes no time in making herself useful about the tower
Warnings: None

There was still a mystery surrounding her arrival here. This, Yukiko knew only too well - the tower, the collars, the not-quite-humans she's seen around the place and on the network and that's not including the monsters she had a close run-in shortly after first arriving. A lot of unknowns that would need investigating at some point, but until then she needed something to do with her time.

The infirmary had seemed a natural choice. It wasn't quite the Inn, but with the powers her Persona granted her she figured it made sense. Besides, it had been that or the cafeteria and she was pretty sure those in charge wouldn't appreciate her burning the place to the ground to serve inedible food. And so she was, familiarising herself with the infirmary stock and learning what went where, working with an efficiency that came naturally to her.

Yukikoooo *^*

[ Nageki is certainly no stranger to the infirmary. Now that his memories have finally come back, he's there to have his health checked up on.

When he sees Yukiko, he blinks, surprised. Mostly, people didn't hang out in the Infirmary--only if they were injured or sick.

It was odd to see someone else here. He looked up from the book he was reading and quietly watched her for a little while, wondering what she was doing.

When curiosity finally got the best of him, he quietly approached her--though, it's somewhat likely he may have surprised her on accident. ]

... I hope you're not thinking of just randomly medicating yourself. Some of those things could kill you, you know.

[fans_fire]

[Yukiko had been so absorbed in what she was doing that she didn't notice anyone else entering the room until she was spoken to. She looked up with a start, fumbling so as not to drop the boxes she'd just been about to store]

What? No, it's...I work here. Sorry, I didn't hear you come in.

[nobirdie]

You work here?

[ He sounds a little bit incredulous. Oops, he surprised her. But oh well, he's used to doing that to people. ]

Did they force you into it? You're not one of those red-collared... things. You're a person. ... I was told I had to work at the library, myself.

[ It was weird. God so many books, he didn't mind but it really did take a ton of work... ]

[fans_fire]

Hmm? No, not really...I just like to keep busy. I'm not really used to having nothing to do.

[The fact that she's still technically newly arrived is not the point]

[savedbyasong]

Shion didn't work in the infirmary, he worked in the library. But since he was all but useless every time they had to fight, and yet he had some basic knowledge in medicine and wanted to help all those he could.

So he came to the infirmary to help out. He smiled at the girl, he hadn't seen her before, but the last week or so he had been unable to move. The thought of which still filled him with terror.

"Hello."

[fans_fire]

Yukiko looked up and smiled as she heard someone approach. She was still too new to know many people yet but she had enough experience behind her to be civil and give everyone a chance to begin with.

"Hello. Did you need something?"

grhghhrhg yuki-channn /winku

[hystericull]

[The infirmary was one place Gamzee had never before wandered to. He didn't need any treatment at the moment - he was being pretty good about staying out of trouble, miraculously enough - but that's no reason to avoid the place altogether. He sort of just... wandered in. He was a lean, gray brother from outer space, dressed in ridiculously baggy clothes and sporting a thick mop of black hair haphazardly placed on top of his head. Oh, and he had two huge horns jutting out of there somewhere, too. Have you met a troll yet, Yukiko? Because you're about to be bothered by one.

He doesn't really see anyone else around the infirmary right now. Not that he really knew it was the infirmary. He considered finding out, spotting a short, black-haired human close by and striding lazily up behind her.]

Heyyy, motherfucker. Which mystical block might a brother be to finding himself all up in right the fuck now?

[Manners, Gamzee. She probably didn't even know you were there, and now this huge monster is just spouting nonsense at her out of the blue.]

Oh this should be good~

[fans_fire]

[Yukiko can't help the sharp intake of breath as she turns to see the grey-skinned, horned figure behind her. Even for all she's seen inside the TV world, or perhaps because of what she's seen, she's automatically on edge.

But of course, that doesn't mean she won't still be polite]

Uh-um, this is the infirmary. You...are you sick?

[She couldn't see any injuries and even for all she had no idea what he was, she was here to look after people who were under the weather]

[nobirdie]

[ Oh. That's weird. ]

Are you a nurse?

[hystericull]

[He paused for a moment, considering. He... really couldn't remember if he'd had any injuries or not. He was feeling kind of gross the other day, but that was the other day, not now. Now he was happy and healthy as can be, it seemed! He rattled his head "no".]

Can't say I all think I'm to motherfucking be, pinksis.

[A beat.]

Are you?

[savedbyasong]

Shion shook his head. "No... I just came to see if you needed help, here..." He smiled again, hiding his fear.

[got_it_memorized]

His head was killing him. Axel had never been to the infirmary before; the whole idea kind of creeped him out, honestly. With Cure spells handy, who needed doctors, right? Unfortunately Cure never seemed to help a headache much, and he supposed it wouldn't hurt to know where it was. A little recon to become more familiar with one's surroundings was never a bad idea, no matter how much you didn't want to investigate a certain area.

Poking his head into the infirmary and casting a quick glance about, he spotted a darkhaired girl inspecting some shelves of various items and steps inside. He wasn't sure just what it was about these sorts of places that gave him the creeps--maybe it was the spooky beds with the steel arms on the sides, like maybe they didn't want you to escape. Whatever it was, he sort of uncomfortably folded his arms over his chest and approached the girl.

Leaning on the counter he paused a moment, then spoke softly, unsure if she was even aware he was there and not wanting to startle her.

"Anything good for a headache in that cabinet?"

[fans_fire]

By job title, yes. Though I still have a lot to learn about how things are done around here.

[fans_fire]

"Oh." She glanced around a moment. "W-well, I don't know that it's really my decision to make. But there's a box in the cafeteria where you can apply...I'm sorry, I'm not sure who you would have to speak to here otherwise I could save you the hassle."

[fans_fire]

[Pinksis? Oh because she was...and he was...oh that was good.

Give her a moment here, Gamzee. She's trying ever so hard to reign in the urge to giggle]

No, no I'm not sick. I work here.

[fans_fire]

Yukiko looked up as someone spoke, a concerned expression on her face. Stranger or not, it came easily to her to feel sympathetic towards someone who wasn't feeling one hundred percent.

"Probably? There's a lot here I don't recognise but I think I saw some painkillers before...I'll get you some."

She headed back to the cabinet, carefully selecting a box from the shelf.

"You're, um, you're not allergic to anything are you?"

[savedbyasong]

"Oh I already have a job," he smiled at her, "In the library. But I help here sometimes... they don't seem to mind..."

[fans_fire]

"Oh I see." She glanced away, a little awkwardly. "Sorry, I'm still getting used to how things work around here."

[nobirdie]

[ ... He nods quietly, taking this in, wondering if she was like him, or not. It was hard to tell, after all. ]

Are you also human, like everybirdie else here?

[fans_fire]

[She frowns a little, that question piquing her curiosity]

Well...yes. You're not?

[nobirdie]

[ He shakes his head.

... Maybe he should clarify... ]

I... am now, for some reason. I'm not really sure why. I was a bird before. ... A Mourning Dove.

[fans_fire]

Oh.

[Well that was different]

Is that only since you arrived here?

[nobirdie]

[ Have another nod, Yukiko.

It's a little strange. He was also dead until recently, so that just sort of compounds the oddities, but what can you do? It's no huge secret he's not the healthiest birdboy, either, given why he's here in the first place. ]

[hystericull]

[He sees those repressed giggles, Yukiko. You can't hide them from this motherfucker, he lives on them! Stop it... looking at him like that... like you're about to laugh... he thinks he might--]

Hahahahahahahonkhonkhonkhonk!

[Oh, welp. Looks like you've found someone that shares your condition of being entirely too chuckle-prone. Only his laughs quickly dissolve into honks, reminiscent of an old bike horn. Yeah, he's pretty embarrassing.]

[fans_fire]

That must be strange. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I suddenly became a bird.

Is there something I can help you with?
