[closed] too cold, too cold, vanilla

Who: Athena Cykes [personal profile] psycholawgy & Simon Buttquill [personal profile] shacklebreaker
When: Backdated to 26 Jan (?), post CERES tours
Where: Medical facility for now
What: Sailor Moon got owned by Jadeite and it's Tuxedo Mask's duty to save her
Rating/Warning: Simon likes to threaten people a lot




[ Right after the dumb tour at CERES, Athena heads straight for the medical facility looking like a total hobo. Her hair is wet, and so is her dress, and she has no shoes on. And is that blood? Yeah, that's blood dripping from her ankles. It's painful to walk, but what can she do? Oh, and she also reeks. Like garbage. Have you ever met the personification of garbage? That's Athena.

Eventually, she manages to arrive at the medical facility's ER where she immediately gets tended to. They also make her take a shower, or ten. The robot doctors disinfect her legs to prevent any diseases that might come out of it, and has bandaged both her legs for now. So... Walking isn't exactly an option yet. But at least she's been given some ankle support. It's still going to hurt when she walks, but it'll lessen the pain.

She's still in the ER wondering how to go home... Ryuko is likely busy with Nonon. . . Maybe she can text Simon? He'll be like a prince saving her from trouble. So dreamy. But since her CereVice is busted, she has to wait six hours for it to be back up and running again. Fortunately, the tests she had to undergo to make sure she was healthy. Not to mention they also had to check her psychological state of being. All of this took quite some time. ]


At the medical facility ER. Can you pick me up, pleaaaaaaase?
Also please bring a jacket because my clothes are dirty :(
And maybe some shoes too?

[Blackquill had skipped out on the tour of CERES; certainly, he was curious to see the inner workings of the place, but he was also suspicious of them enough to know something was liable to go wrong. So, rather than throw himself to the metaphorical dogs with the rest, he decided to hold down the fort from the outside if anything did go wrong.

Athena's message only confirms his worries. How a guided tour could end with her in the ER, he can't imagine, but the fact they're discharging her this quickly must mean her injuries can't be life-threatening.

At any rate, once he's had a chance to compose himself, he sends a message back:]


I'll be there soon.

[It doesn't take him long to get there, and then to locate the part of the facility she'd been staying in. He's brought one of his own jackets (black, of course) for her, which while oversized, would be more than enogh to keep her warm. He's also brought a pair of her own boots, too, which she'd luckily dumped at his place on one of her many visits to his apartment.

He only hopes this isn't yet another instance of Athena downplaying her injuries. He won't stop worrying until he sees her.]

[When he finds where she's been waiting for him, he stops up short, frozen with shock as he takes her appearance in. Despite her injuries not being life-threatening, she still looks like she's been through hell. How could he have let this happen? Once again, she's gotten hurt, and once again, he wasn't there to protect her...

He stalks over, dropping to one knee in front of her. There's barely-restrained fury in his eyes.]


What have they done to you this time?

[Frankly, he doesn't care about the specifics behind it. He already guesses CERES is responsible somehow, and is more than willing to direct his anger at them, even if it was just an accident.]
shacklebreaker: (eyes closed)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's not difficult to notice that whatever she's been through, she's evidently traumatised, and the sight of it is enough to cool his rage. Placing blame can wait; Athena comes first. Putting her boots down, he reaches over to wrap his jacket around her shoulders.]

Yes. Does it pain you to walk?

[She might be older now, but he has no qualms with carrying her if necessary.]
shacklebreaker: (looking down)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
All right. If it becomes too painful, please tell me.

[Or he'll ask Widget, if she won't tell him honestly. He'll help her get her shoes on, then get to her feet, offering his arm so she can lean on him.]
shacklebreaker: (staring intensely at penguins)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[She definitely doesn't need to ask. Even without the noise in his heart to tip her off, his body language makes it clear enough. He's perfectly rigid with restrained fury, jaw set in a grim line, eyes sharp and focused.]

Not with you.

[But he looks like he's perfectly willing to cut down any CERES employee who so much as looks at Athena in the wrong way. Other patients are starting to give them a wide berth as they leave.]

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have to thank me. If you hadn't gotten in contact, I would have come looking for you, regardless.

[He was worried even before she sent him that text message, given how long it was taking her to return from the tour, and the uncharacteristic silence on her end.]
shacklebreaker: (pensive)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stops walking when he notices she's in pain, moving to brace her in case she falls.]

Don't force yourself to walk if it hurts, Athena.
shacklebreaker: (dotards dotards dotards)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Stand still.

[He picks her up without warning, princess-style. Even if she complains, her feet will thank her later... and he's entirely in too bad a mood to go back and ask for a wheelchair.

As if he'd ask CERES for anything, at this point. Adjusting his grip so she doesn't slip, he says dryly:]


You're rather heavier than I recall.
shacklebreaker: (shock me again and i will cut you)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Athena's palm strikes are just as formidable as her judo flips, apparently, because it's enough to make him reel.] Gnrk--!

[At least he doesn't drop her?]
shacklebreaker: (probably being tsundere)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm of a mind to throw you down, if you keep this up.

[In spite of that, he carries on walking. His main intention was to distract her from hurting, and it seems to have worked well enough.

...Even if his mouth now kind of hurts in return.]
shacklebreaker: (bitch bitch bitch)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'd been entirely focused on getting her back, and keeping his mouth shut lest he get smacked again, that he doesn't notice her using Widget until it's too late. Enjoy that picture of him looking grim and determined.]

Athena-- Is this really the time for photography?!

[Maybe his plan was a little too effective. She's perking up awfully quickly.]
shacklebreaker: (sweatdrop)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-07-05 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[He can't argue with that face, though he still can't imagine why she'd want to take pictures now, of all times. Maybe she hit her head again, on top of everything else.]

We're not far from the apartments, now.
shacklebreaker: (:()

[Good luck getting him to relax and act casual in a situation like this. He looks away from her, before replying.]

...No. You've simply grown since I last carried you.

[Which had been what he'd meant from the beginning, although she misinterpreted it.]
