On Today's Brow-Raising Episode of Cerealia Hospital...

[niceguypose]

Who: Rock Lee and you!
When: The first few days of January
Where: A room in Cerealia's hospital
What: It's a hospital episode.
Rating/Warning: Probably nothing drastic beyond references to injuries and painkillers?

[Rock Lee had fought bravely during the night of Santa's spree of destruction. But he pushed himself far enough that there were repreccussions to be paid afterwards, in a hospital room. His right arm had been stabbed by a reindeer's antler, one leg was broken, and he pretty much amassed a variety of other injuries around his body- there's even some bandages on his face. Plus he'd opened some of his chakra gates, so that caused some of his injuries to be worsened.

It's essentially enough for him to have to be confined to a hospital room for a few days while still being able to force himself to try to do things.]

A.

[You might walk in just as Rock Lee is trying to slip out of bed. He can be on the floor, trying one-handed push-ups, or perhaps even making himself do sit-ups. He may alternately be trying to get the window open.]

B.

[Or you can find him when he's actually managing to stay in the bed. It looks like he may have been given some painkillers and is a bit giddy. Most likely, he'll be surfing the internet on the CereVice and finding things to giggle at.]

There are so many kittens...

C.

[Or you can find him in a drowsier state, trying to type out instructions for his martial arts students one-handed on the CereVice.]

I... hope that everyone was alright...

D.

[Wild card?! Just walk into his hospital room and see what happens!]

[Sai walks in early in the afternoon with a box in his hand.]

Lee-kun. [A bright smile rises to his lips, a perfect replica of the one he'd been working on all morning followed by the same line he'd mulled over for hours.] How are you feeling?

[niceguypose]

Sai-kun! [He smiles he glances towards Sai, his eyes looking curiously towards the box in hand.] Ah... I am feeling increasingly better! I am sure that I will be out of here soon. But, how are you?!

[painted_seals]

It's cold.

[Reassured by those words that he had said the right thing, Sai walks inside and sits on a nearby chair setting the box on his lap.]

It's cold. [He answers truthfully.] How are your injuries?

[otoko]

[What, you thought he wouldn't find out about this. OF COURSE HE WOULD. He saw you in the snow, therefore he's been worried. Obviously.

That said, coming in to find you doing push-ups...] AU-AUUHHH! What are you doing..!?

[HE'S PRETTY SURE WHATEVER THE DOCTORS TOLD YOU, ONE OF THEM WAS 'DON'T DO THIS']

[niceguypose]

[He was going to let you know! When he was all better...]

I am defeating the me of yesterday!! [That is Lee's battle cry as he keeps on pushing himself.] It is good to see you, Gonenzaka-kun! Are you well?!

[minatsuki had heard what happened.... don't ask how, she had just overheard from others when she had been taking a stroll around the place. minatsuki hadn't encountered that weirdo santa, thankfully, but she knew many others did.

people ending up in hospitals or being hurt all the time wasn't new to her at all. she was used to those she knew getting hurt, constantly bleeding, and so it wasn't as though she was worried about lee. well... maybe she was, a little bit, but only because she figured he was too stupid to understand how to even rest properly.

her thoughts were confirmed as soon as she walked in to his room and saw him doing push-ups.]

If you don't get back in that fucking bed I'm gonna break your other arm. [and she was serious, too. minatsuki also brought a gift for him, a pot of flowers. they were primroses to be exact. she walked around his form on the ground and placed it on his bedside table.]

[niceguypose]

[Well, that was an abrupt entrance. Lee manages to freeze mid-push-up.]

M- Minatsuki-san! But... but this is just a simple workout! It won't last much longer... [He does start to slink towards the bed, however, and he glances up towards the newly-placed flowers.]

Ah... Are those for me?!

[While Integra admittedly isn't terribly close to Lee, there is something to be admired in his resolve. He was injured, so she had heard, warding away the barrage of murderous elves and Kris Kringle... among other dangers.

So she felt compelled to visit him during his stay. Now Integra was still recovering from her own wounds, but that isn't enough to keep her on bedrest. You have her condolences, Lee.

In her hands, she carries a velvet bag containing... something. We'll get to that later.]

Good evening, Lee. I hope you've been recovering well.

[She really doesn't know how to do small talk. Help!]

[niceguypose]

[He's happy to see her either way and he flashes her a bright smile.]

Ah, Integra-san! I'm pleased to see you. Yes, I am recovering very well... I believe that I will be ready to leave at any minute! [That might not be the doctor's opinion...]

i was gonna do A but i wanna be special so B IT IS

[ weiss peeks up from the magazine she'd been idly flicking through (the selection in this hospital is atrocious, t b h), lips quirking at lee's unbidden comment. ]

Are there? [ her tone is light and airy, clearly humoring him. but it isn't so often she sees him so dazed and hazed, when he's usually bursting with intensity. it almost makes it worth the uncomfortable hospital chair that she'd been sitting in the for the past few hours now (her own injured ankle propped up at the foot of his bed, the other leg crossed delicately beneath it). ]

Ah, you have to prove the 'Special Snowflake' title I see

[niceguypose]

[He smiles and gives a nod. Weiss's presence has been a good comfort to him on top of whatever they've been giving him.]

That's true! Would you like to see?

[He taps at the CereVice with his free hand, and that makes the screen temporarily twist to face Weiss. There's a number of internet cat images populating the screen, including a video that plays.]

[punches]

You need to be resting, Lee-kun.

[ Despite how rehearsed she should be at saying this (not just to him, but to everyone back home), her tone is soft with the best of her bedside manner. A part of her is upset she's not the personnel in charge of her own friend (a nurse is just that), but it can't be helped now. What she can do is keep him as comfortable as possible. ]

What's so important that it has you up?

[niceguypose]

[Just stage a coup of the hospital, Sakura. Once she enters, Lee glances toward her with a warm smile.]

Sakura-san! Ah... I will not be up much longer. But... My students are without me, and I want to make sure that they have lessons to follow in my absence...

A!

[perfectstrike]

What are you doing?

[Heavens help her, you had better not be getting out of bed, Rock Lee! Peko had been fortunate(?) enough not to have been involved in the fight at the mall, and had escaped her own particular Santa-styled menace with only a few cuts and bruises. It's Lee's absence from the dojo that she'd noticed more than anything, and after a quick call to find out just where, exactly, he was, she's stopping by with a plastic shopping bag in one hand, and her sword bag on her back like always.]

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee might have been getting out of bed and limping towards the window when Peko entered. Then he glances towards her nervously.]

Ah... Peko-san! Hello! I... just thought that I should seek some fresh hair!

another a for your a pile

[harepiece]

[Oz is outside of the hospital today, but just happens to be passing along at the same time that Lee is making his DARING WINDOW ESCAPE. The familiarity of his shiny coconut head is enough to draw Oz's attention, first, and he raises a hand in greeting while trotting his way over.]

Oh - good morning! What are you-- [HM... This is a hospital, though. ...And those are bandages??] Wait a second— are you staging a break-out?!

[GET BACK IN THERE, LEE, no open windows for you.]

dat a

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee pauses in the middle of trying to get through the window and smiles as he faces Oz.]

Ah... Oz-kun!! I... I would not call this a breakout! This is only a youthly... seeking of fresh air!!

[rollin]

[ Yata busts into the room without so much a knock. In fact, the moment he opens the door, Lee is greeted with a loud, ]

Yo, Lee! [ But Yata is greeted with an unusual sight himself, so he quiets down for a moment. ] Woah, didn't know you had it that bad... How long you gotta be here?

[ He puts a plastic bag down on Lee's table and takes out a bento box. ]

[niceguypose]

Yata-kun! [He smiles as he enters, looking almost oblivious of his own injuries.]

I suppose that it is fairly bad... They said it may be as much as a week, but I anticipate getting out earlier!

[With the ability to heal herself (and others), Leia thankfully doesn't need any hospital time. She does need to replenish her mana, after expending so much of it--but that doesn't seem to be a problem. She's even out and about today, because after all that fighting and surviving... well. She'd been in need of new winter clothes.

She walks into Lee's hospital room after finding it unlocked, only to see him aggressively typing at his CereVice. She looks tired--but new clothes aren't the only thing she's got.

In her hands is a bouquet--store-bought this time, rather than hand-picked.]

Hey. The door was open... Hope you don't mind that I let myself in.

[niceguypose]

[He looks away from his work as she enters, greeting Leia with a bright smile.]

Ah... Leia-san! It is no trouble at all. Please, come in! It is a pleasure to see you! [His eyes do linger on the bouquet - it looks very nice!]

[impheired]

[A little bird tol-- okay no let's not even try and pretend anybody other than Peko told Kuzuryuu that Lee was in the hospital. So he shows up the day after her visit, a small basket of fruit in hand.]

Oi, Lee. How are you feel-- [Is...is he doing a one handed push up? He sure is. Kuzuryuu sets the basket down on a table, chuckling a little.] Well I'm guessing the answer is "better", huh?

[Is this the power of youth in action??? He really should probably be scolding Lee for this but instead he's just kind of impressed. Bed rest is overrated anyway, who needs it.]

[niceguypose]

[This is the power of youth in action! Lee smiles mid-push-up as he witness Kuzuryuu.]

That's right!! That is exactly how I feel. Kuzuryu-kun... It's good to see you! How are you?!

[makigumo]

[ You are in luck; it's no fun to peek into your pants right now, so she's not gonna.

Anyway, kittens, what? ]

Here I come to pay a visit to Caterpillar-chan, and he's all drunk on his own! I'm jealous, I wanna be drunk too!

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee continued viewing the cats with a look of oblivious bliss.]

D-drunk? I do not understand... I am certain that this time, I have not drunken anything that has alcohol. But we do not need to enjoy... the times of our youth!

[He pauses to laugh at another cat picture.]
