[semi-open] did u hear the joke about the dragon

Who: [personal profile] perfectstrike & anyone who might have cause to try to call Peko to check up on her after the CERESTour!
When: just after the CERESTour into the next day (ic: 1/26-1/27)
Where: CERES Hospital
What: Peko got herself injured during the CERESTour and is patently confused as to why people keep visiting her.
Rating/Warning: Warning for blood and talk about injuries, but nothing gorey or gruesome.




[Immediately following the tour, Mosley had kindly ushered group three to the hospital for their sustained injuries. Peko, having gotten herself hit with the sharp end of a not-so-virtual dragon's claw, had needed to be rushed to get several nasty-looking gashes cleaned and stitched, along with some smaller burns treated. Swords aren't much good against things that can fly and breathe fire, after all.

Some time later, she can be found in the wing tended to by human and humanoid doctors (no androids here, please), seated quietly in one of the beds with her eyes closed as if she's asleep. The heart rate monitor is beeping quietly and steadily, and there's an IV hooked to her right arm to replenish some of the fluid she'd lost from bleeding everywhere earlier. All in all, though, she looks fine! If the ripped and bloody sailor suit in the corner and the fresh white bandages covering her left bicep and peeking out from above the cut of her hospital gown over her chest are any indication. At least the gown is cute, with happy little robots printed in a pattern along the fabric. To promote organic healing, of course!

Before the Cerevice goes down, though, she'll be answering calls with voice and just generally trying to rest and recover in the hospital. She's fine, though, really--!]

[whoa, whoa! England looks even more flummoxed when Peko says she'll pay him. he sits forward in his seat, holding up a hand]

You... don't have to pay me! I'd be happy to help you! [he's excited! Peko wanted him as a mentor!]
unionjackoff: (you say stop)

[it's not an inconvenience at all! England likes children, wants to mentor them. he will jump at the opportunity to show off share his knowledge. besides, he feels he owes Peko, and the rest of his team]

Wonderful. Ah, do you own any firearms? [he's going to guess the answer is no, but it doesn't hurt to ask]
unionjackoff: (and i will take her out tonight)

They can be expensive. [he's not mocking, or lecturing, merely offering insight] And I don't know what Cerealia has to offer. The gun I have was brought with me from home. It's a Glock 17, and it's only reserved for the British Armed Forces.
unionjackoff: (you say yes)

[sometimes England just forgets who he's talking to. that's what happens when you're trying to keep a secret]

Oh... I... [he looks off to the side for a moment, seemingly nervous] S-sort of? [and then back to Peko] But it's not something I go around bragging about!
unionjackoff: (speaking words of wisdom)

[he is an enigma wrapped up in a mystery...! or something]

No, it's... quite all right. I'm the one who brought it up initially. [he sighs, gaze dropping down at the floor now] Sometimes I still think what I was on earth matters. But now that I'm here, it's like I have a whole new identity.
unionjackoff: (and was buried along with her name)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2015-07-04 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
A while back I was told what I was on earth no longer mattered, that I had to make the best of what I was given here. [he raises his eyes again, looking upset at the thought] I didn't want to, at first, but more and more, now, I'm finding that sentiment to be true. I was brought to Cerealia, given a new job, and a new place to stay, and I am completely surrounded by new faces, new species. I'm not sure what to believe in anymore.

[such cynical thoughts from this man who looked content a few moments ago]
unionjackoff: (lives in a dream)

[when Peko leans forward, that seems to remind him of who he's speaking to, and about what. whoops. he hadn't meant to get into something so deep! but Peko seemed to be the serious sort, so England had jumped into a serious conversation with her]

It's not easy. But what I was doesn't matter to CERES. I'm treated no differently than anyone else.
unionjackoff: (i'll make a point)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2015-07-04 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[geez. why did he even get into this? perhaps it's because he feels... so vulnerable now. he couldn't protect Jaune and the others, couldn't even defend himself.

England feels like a complete failure]


... [he opens his mouth to speak when a nurse pokes his head through the door and tells him that he and Miss Pekoyama need their rest. England's shoulders slump, but he does stand up]

Feel free to contact me when you are ready to learn. [about guns, he doesn't want to say in front of the nurse]
