122. Circumstances

[corrinesbell]

[To think it was just a regular day.

Sheena stumbles her way around from the back of house 18. One arm is braced against the outside wall of the house, the other useless. It's a slow, staggering kind of walk. When she runs out of house, she manages to move just a few more feet, into the road, before crashing to the ground again. Mercifully, her journal comes loose from where she had carried it at her waist, and ends up open, pages face down.

It's just out of her reach; her fingertips brush against it but she can't turn it over. Maybe having it open is enough]

I-I...need help. ...Please.

[[ooc: Follows almost immediately after this log, meaning it's Thursday up in here. The log is unfinished so far but we wanted to avoid some insane backdating/the chance that LJ murders itself again. So!]]

[Hmm. He figures he could get there faster than most people, so...]

Where are you?

[corrinesbell]

M-my house.

[and losing consciousness pretty fast. She's already been out once.]

[donaldtrumpcard.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't know where her house iiiiis! Um. Hm, maybe it would be best for her friends to get her-- but no ones responded yet. They probably will in like the next minute, but she seems like she's in pretty bad shape.... oh okay fine.]

... I'll be there.

[Whelp, time to bust out the kikaichū buggies all over the town in hopes of finding her. Hopefully you won't mind seeing a few of these guys (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091206142453/naruto/images/thumb/a/a7/Kikaich%C5%AB.JPG/180px-Kikaich%C5%AB.JPG) eventually finding you and buzzing all around your body.]

[It isn't until much later that Yuan shows up at the clinic to pay Sheena a visit. He wasn't one hundred percent sure if she'd be there, but he'd rather try the clinic first and then risk going to her house. There's a smaller chance of running into Zelos, this way.

Luckily, she is lying in one of the clinic beds, so Yuan will approach her without hesitation.]

[corrinesbell]

[The one spot of luck she's had in this is that now, she's unconscious and oblivious to the world.

But before she was safe (?) in the clinic and trying to recover, she got beaten up, zapped, and lost a whole lot of blood. So she looks awful.]

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[Considering how awful she looks, it's a good thing she's resting. Yuan doesn't dare to wake her when she's like this, so he'll just take a seat next to the bed and wait. He doesn't have anything better to do right now anyway. But just to show he's not a complete creeper, he'll idly flip through his journal while he waits.]

Sheena!

[She's at the journal in seconds, reigning in her worry to focus on the important questions.]

Where are you?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

[it's getting harder and harder to answer]

Home. [not Tethe'alla, obviously.]

[Voice]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

[Home. Sheena's place is... House 18. Okay, she can make it.]

I'm on my way. Just stay conscious, alright? I'm coming as fast as I can!

[Indeed, she's already grabbed her broom and thrown open a window just to shave a few seconds off her time. The wind can probably be heard through her journal.]

[voice]

[redroseprince.livejournal.com]

[...That voice. A pit of dread just twists inside Jennifer. She recognizes that choking sound of pain. And even worse, she recognizes that voice.]

Sheena.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

[and she does choke a little bit when she places Jennifer's voice. But there's no way of convincing anyone that she'll be okay on her own, this time.]

Y-yeah?

Re: [voice]

[redroseprince.livejournal.com]

[She's already backing up, grasping blindly behind her for the doorknob. She doesn't know what she can do, if anything, but she had to do something.]

...W-where are you?

[...God, she sounds so weak.]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

[He'd been out when it had happened. By the time he'd torn across the village, she'd already been taken to the clinic. He'd like to say that he hadn't been completely freaked out by the scene.

After he tears half the village apart looking for her, he finally stops by the clinic. By then he's gone past the freak out stage into the by-god-I'm-going-to-end-someone stage with a side of I-should-have-been-there.

Needless to say, he's a little fired up by the time she wakes up.]

[corrinesbell]

[he'll have to wait for that. Maybe in the space of that hour or so, he can calm himself down.

Though getting to stare at her splinted arm probably doesn't help much]

[wise_maiden]

[Classes kept Raine from hearing the message sooner than she might have. Indeed it's not for a while until Raine checks her journal. When one of Sheena's recorded conversations designates her location as the clinic, there's a bit of narrowing down as to which location, as she heads over.]

[corrinesbell]

[for someone in her condition, the newer clinic was probably the better choice. It's closer to the house and things just tend to move faster there.

It also means Raine may have to contend with a lot more machinery but surely she can handle that. Technological prodigy that she is, and all. at least with explosives.

She's asleep, as she has been most of the day, when Raine arrives.]

[Much like the others, it'll be some time after that Presea comes to visit Sheena at the clinic. She's already heard what happened, but only the bare minimum details. Sheena had been attacked and badly wounded and she was being held at the clinic - that was all she knew for the moment, and...well, it made her feel a little apprehensive and somewhat upset. Presea was beginning to dislike being told only the tiniest details.

So as she trudges into Sheena's room, careful not to be too loud if she was sleeping, Presea's face is stoic and purposely void of emotion. She's upset, very much so to the point of wanting revenge, but she'll keep such things under control for the moment.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[Presea is lucky enough to walk in on a Sheena who's already awake. They even have her sitting up just a little bit. It would seem like a ridiculous improvement if first Zelos, then Raine hadn't already been there and worked a little (...a lot of) magic.

But she's still pretty weak and a little out of it. ...Really, Presea, she'd rather you didn't hide your emotions like that. It makes you look like your soulless self.]

Hey.

[lezareno_prez]

[Word travels quickly, and it won't be long after Sheena has been brought to the clinic that Regal is making his way there to check on her and offer any extra healing that might be needed. And not only that, he wants to find out just what happened, because he knows damn well that Sheena is no weakling and that anything that could injure her like that is serious business.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[he had a head start. That's her story and she's sticking to it.

She'll be dozing, a light sleep, when he shows up. Between the visitors and the other issues, she hasn't been able to get many long stretches of rest. ...But if you asked, you know she'd rather have the company]

[ With Mithos not around at the moment, Martel was free to whatever she want. She wanders around a bit as she's still unfamiliar with the area and stumbles at the clinic. Her face turns into one of horror as she spots an injured Sheena lying on one of the beds. ]

S-sheena! What happened to you?!

[corrinesbell]

[Not around? Wonder where he's gone?

Sheena is asleep at the moment, but she's doing much better now than she was just after the fight.]

[Action]

[Stella had heard, of course. And though she had lost touch with people thanks to taking care of Sophie, Stella still dashes to the clinic. What could've happened to her...? Sheena was strong, so much stronger than her, and...

Stella opens the door quietly, just in case she's sleeping, and peeks inside.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[It's the end of a long day, and Sheena is sort of sleeping. Soon they are going to stop letting people in, at least for the night, so she can get some uninterrupted rest. Zelos will probably break in anyway.

Stella is still welcome to come in, of course. She'll find a pitcher of water with a glass, and beside it a bunch of flowers, on the side table.]

[seraphgoddess.livejournal.com]

[ A momentary silence filled the room before Martel finally spoke out her suspcions. ]

It was Mithos, wasn't it.

[ She doesn't want to believe it, but there wasn't anyone else who could have done such damage. It was even more evident when the incident so happened to occur a few days after she first spoke to Sheena. At that moment, she wanted to do nothing but cry out to her brother asking what happened to the boy she knew and cared for? ]
