Infirmary [open]

[savedbyasong]

Characters: Shion and everyone who wants to help him
Setting: Infirmary
Format: Whatever you like best
Summary: After seeing Tara and how hurt she was, and seeing as there is no working infirmary Shion tries to do something to help
Warnings: Just general horror stuff

Shion was trying to keep busy, he was training with Reno and Xion, helping gathering food and generally trying to keep going. He wore the pin Reno had given him on his shirt collar; he really was just beginning to grasp all that it stood for and probably wouldn't for a long time. But he understood family and though Reno and Xion would never replace his mum, Nezumi, Safu, those he had lost... They could be another family, one here. People to care for, who cared for him in return.

So he was recovering, slowly, a step at a time and today would be another step. After helping Tara he had realised that without workers those who were injured would not get any care. The infirmary was as dark as everywhere else and that meant there would probably be monsters there at times...

Shion didn't know much about medicine, but he knew enough to clean and bandage wounds, even to deal with broken bones though he had never done that for real. Reno's spare EMR in hand Shion entered the infirmary. He should probably start with one room, if he could get one of the examination rooms organised it would be a start. He began moving things about, dust had began to gather and so all the sides needed washing, so he started with that.

Having discussed the matter of the infirmary with Zack, Hojo decided that he should see it for himself. Although his motivations for helping were neither pure nor kind, he was a genius scientist, and there was nothing he could not do. Also, he was, quite frankly, somewhat bored. There weren't enough challenges for his intellect at present, as his research was impeded by the power loss.

He had his own supplies in his medkit, and a small, hand-held medical light, which shone in the dark. He could hear things being moved around, before he even entered. So, there was someone else here. "Ah, hello. And who is that?" His tone was calm, in spite of the danger of monsters. He wasn't worried.

Sorry for slowness!

[savedbyasong]

At the light and the voice Shion turned bringing the EMR up the flickering light showing a man, he wasn't too frightened after all the monsters couldn't speak as far as Shion could tell. So this must be another prisoner. "Hello... My name is Shion, are you injured?" There weren't many reasons for entering an infirmary after all.

not a problem ♥

[denigrator]

"No, not at all." The light gleamed on Hojo's glasses. "I had heard the infirmary was abandoned, of course, so I came here to see if I might revive it. The inhabitants should not be without medical care, and I am a man of science." He moved through the infirmary with a proprietary air, familiarizing himself with its contents as he spoke. "And yourself?"

Re: not a problem ♥

[savedbyasong]

Shion gave a small smile at that, glad that someone else had had the same idea as him, after all they needed to help each other; now more than ever. "I was doing much the same thing," he explained, "Though I studied ecology and not medicine I have some basic knowledge, and since people could be hurt I thought..."

He gave another small smile and a shrug.

[denigrator]

"Ah, ecology." Somehow, he even manages not to sound sarcastic as he says this. He knows a great deal about ecology himself, but much of his work involved rewriting ecology. "I myself am a biologist, but I also have extensive medical knowledge. It is rather likely that people will be injured, especially with conditions as they are now."

He nods. He's far more interested in gathering samples and test subjects than he is in healing anyone, but he can do both. The latter will make the former so much easier. So he smiles back.

[savedbyasong]

"You're a biologist?" Shion's face lit up with interest, "You probably know more than me, I never finished my studies... But I wanted to help everyone, I can't really fight very well," though he was slowly learning.

"And as you say with conditions the way they are people are going to be injured... I also learned that though usually when we die here we come back uninjured... for some reason that didn't work... I only know of the one case but if it was to repeat then the need for medical care is even more urgent."

He closed his mouth, realising that he was babbling a little bit.

[denigrator]

"I know a good deal more than most people. I am one of the leading scientists in my field, and I have been so for decades," said Hojo, conveniently ignoring the fact that almost all of said scientists, including himself, were dead, and largely because of their own work.

Fortunately, Hojo was more than a little used to babbling researchers. "Ah, I see. The power is off, and so, like everything else, the revival process has been affected. Unsurprising. Yet interesting..."

He seemed to think this over. The mystery of the Tower--now, that interested him, far more than anyone's inconsequential injuries. After a moment, he nodded. "I will serve as doctor here. You can assist me."

[forceless]

Ven was lucky himself he had magic-- what's more that he had been able to avoid injuries. A week in and not only had people disappeared, but everything was dark and dirty. Not to mention Romeo's pet weasel had found its way into his trunk a few days before, but no Romeo in sight. Needless to say, things weren't looking very good.

He didn't have any plan yet-- He had his hand open, palm up and a small ball of light hovering just above it, and Piccolo perched on his shoulder as he looked around. He got to the infirmary and carefully peered inside when he heard something movie.

"Hello? Is anyone there? You hurt?"

[savedbyasong]

Shion held up the EMR and blinked when he saw the ball of light in the boys hand, magic... Something Shion still wasn't used to. He paled however at the face, he seemed younger and there was no blindfold but... Ventus?

Another one perhaps, after all there were two Reno's and other doubles. Still Shion looked down, not quite meeting the boys eyes. He studied instead the weasel on his shoulder, such cute creature. "Yes. I'm not hurt, do you need help?"

[forceless]

Luckily for Shion, Ven wasn't accustomed to this level of Darkness, and didn't take notice of Shion paling or avoiding eye contact. possibly because he was a bit busy looking at the EMR curiously, because what the hell was that.

"Oh-- no, I'm fine. I came here to check and see if anyone else did," He commented a bit sheepishly. "My name's Ventus-- and this is Piccolo." He introduced, gesturing to the weasel with a small shrug.

"What are you doing here?"

[savedbyasong]

Shion didn't actually know what it was either, just that Reno had given it to him as a light source; which he was grateful for.

At the name though he paled even more. "Oh... erm..." He tried not to remember the labyrinth, he knew this was a different person. A different person who looked the same and had the same name. "He's really cute..." He reached out to pet the weasel, trying to act normal.

"I'm Shion..."

[forceless]

Ven held his free hand up to Piccolo, allowing the weasel to climb onto his hand and held him out to Shion. The weasel was thankfully receptive to the attention, despite Ven's own growing frown.

"He's my friend's pet, actually. Not sure where he went..."

A moment or so of silence however, and Ven couldn't help but start to pry. "Are you sure you're OK? You seem kind of nervous."

[savedbyasong]

"Oh..." One of those that had been taken perhaps? He petted the weasel some more though he felt guilty when Ventus frowned. "I'm sorry... I guess I still haven't gotten used to the fact there are many people who look the same here..."

[cutestprogrammer]

Chihiro entered the dark infirmary rather nervously clutching his flashlight. He'd actually come in here to see if there might be food down here somehow. Then he heard movement in the darkness and he called out.

"H-Hello? Is anyone here?"

[savedbyasong]

"Hello?" The voice sounded younger than Shion, Shion peered into the darkness seeing a light and a girl holding it. "My name is Shion, are you injured?"

[cutestprogrammer]

He shakes his head. "No. I-I just came here to see if I could find any food. What are you doing there? Do you need any help?"

[savedbyasong]

"Oh... Are you hungry? I have some food if you want some." He had some berries in his bag, he, Reno and Xion had went out collecting food every day so far. "I figured people are still going to get injured, and all the clear collared people who usually work here are gone, and so I'm seeing if I can secure a space for treating people."

[cutestprogrammer]

"You do?" He comes over to look. "But will you have enough for yourself? Oh. Are you a doctor?"

[savedbyasong]

"I will be fine," he smiled, after all he could forage more, there was food as long as you knew where to look. But he wanted to help those who couldn't find their own food. No one should have to starve because they had been abandoned. He went to get the berries out of his bag and handed them over. "No... I'm not a doctor though I know a little bit of medicine, I just wanted to help..."

[great_king_of_evil]

After a while, it was Ganondorf Shion would meet in the infirmary. The Great King of Evil had already secured some medicine last month, so he was here only to check if anything unusual was happening- That's when he spotted the boy cleaning and ordering the thing in the infirmary. Hum...

"Be careful boy, this place roams with monsters ever since the power is out."

Ganondorf's tone wasn't threatening, it was just an advise, a true one at that. Those monsters didn't know limits ever since the tower fell into such a pathetic state. Now why was this boy here-

"Why would you come here? You don't appear to be hurt."

[savedbyasong]

Shion jumped at the voice and looked around, and up. The man was huge but Shion gave a nervous smile. "I know... I'm not hurt... but no one is here and people might be hurt, and they will need medical care..." He was honestly worried about the monsters, he was slowly learning to fight from Reno but he couldn't fight a monster, he could barely fight a human.

However this had to be done, so here he was.

[great_king_of_evil]

"So you're taken upon yourself setting up a medical team? Interesting..."

A Medical team... Not a bad idea, could be useful for those without regenerative abilities or weak endurance. He didn't personally care but in the new order such a place would probably be of utmost importance in the tower. But the boy was legitimately worried about the monsters... Heh. That's where he could probably make himself necessary and a part of this small movement.

He smiled at him and nodded.

"Most people in this tower just sit and wait for our hosts to return. It is enjoyable to see some are taking matters into their own hand."

[savedbyasong]

Shion nodded with another nervous smile, he supposed it could be called a team as he had found some people to help him already. "We don't know when they will be back... and... we shouldn't be too dependent on them..."

Yes when they were here the tower had food and power but it was at the expense of the experiments and the awful things that happened.

Though of course there were those that had been taken... not many people were left and Shion worried about the fates of those who had been taken. But there was so much to worry about and making the infirmary workable was a problem that he could solve. So he concentrated on that.

[great_king_of_evil]

"Indeed. We should be ready to live without their help. In fact they might as well never come back for all we know..."

Ganondorf looked around, considering his options. He couldn't stay at all time on this floor, nor could he direct all of his influence to protect this sole floor from the monsters. A Shadow could stay... And considering how worried the boy looked, it would work only just fine, probably.

"As for the monsters, since you've been doing an effort beyond that of the others in this tower, I'll make certain none can reach this floor." he slowly said "You won't have to worry about them harming those you treat."

[savedbyasong]

Shion nodded, he didn't know what would be worse if they never came back or if they did. After all it was very clear they meant them nothing but harm, but at the same time he didn't know how long they could fend for themselves. After all less would grow in winter, the monsters took advantage of the fact the power was out...

He blinked at the offer, "You will? I thank you, that would be very kind of you!" It made Shion happy that people were willing to help.
