[LOG] Early August

[colorsflyinghigh]

Who: Ren Amamiya and YOU!! (and Goro Akechi)
What: General interactions post-coma
Where: The Oran Berries Guild, Grumpearl network video, the Pokeclinic
When: Early August
Warnings: Discussion of illness/injury/disability, medical stuff in general, implied medical trauma. More TBA as needed.

Having been out for all of July thanks to succumbing to the mystery illness that has been plagueing Bottlecap Bay for a while now, Ren's still regaining his bearings. He's a little mad at himself for letting it get this bad- and for making everyone worry. That's the last thing he wanted. Still, he's eager to catch up on what he missed, and to start doing missions again... but he's still under doctor's orders to take it easy.


1: Return to the guild.

Having woken up and finally (finally) been deemed healthy enough to leave the Pokeclinic, the first order of business is to return to the guild. There's an excited march in his step, though it is somewhat undermined by a limp, and the general air of... tiredness hanging around him. A sure sign that he's still recovering. That said, the moment he steps through the entrance of the spire, a grin spreads as he immediately sees a few familiar faces. A few new ones, too, but regardless, he seems happy.

"Hey," he says, voice a little rough still, "sorry to worry you, but I'm back now. What'd I miss?"

2: The Pokeclinic.

A: The waiting room.
Despite being declared healthy enough to leave, that doesn't mean he's completely rid of the clinic. With strict orders from Dr. Denne, he's back the next morning for a checkup already- to make sure he's doing okay. Ren thinks it's a little much; okay, so he's aching all over still, and it's causing him to limp a little, but it'll clear up, won't it? Dr. Denne said it would, so why all this?

Still, he begrudgingly enters the clinic, watching the pokemon bustle around to take care of the patients. His ear twitches, but he goes to announce his presence to a nearby Chansey, who tells him to wait- they'll come get him soon. So he does, settling down.

B: Checkup.
Soon enough, Ren's called in by the same Chansey, who takes him to an examination room. It's not Dr. Denne today doing the checkup, which makes him... a little nervous, honestly. Okay, a lot nervous. The people here are no Takemi, and despite having been treated here, he still doesn't like it. There's needles around, and all sorts of things he doesn't recognize, and he knows, he knows they don't mean him harm... but the mind doesn't easily forget, despite what he tells himself.

If you're volunteering at the clinic, perhaps you might notice him as you bring around equipment and medicine...

3: [Locked to Akechi] before all this...
For the first time in a long time, the green body in the hospital bed makes a noise. Not just a pained moan or anxious shift at whatever nightmares keep him trapped in his sleep, but an honest to god, confused wake-up noise.

Ren's in pain. His eyes blearily blink away sleep, but it's... hard. He's so tired, and nothing properly registers. He doesn't recognize the shapes in front of him. He's confused, and a little scared.

He does, however, recognize a familiar smell. Consciously or not, the slowly waking Ren seeks it out.

Comments

Akechi was about to preen Ren again, but that movement, that sound...

His feathers fluff up and his eyes pop wide open. "Ren! Are you...?"

It may be surprising to hear Akechi sound so alarmed. He's usually more composed than this.

One of the new faces in the Spire, who Ren might come across in the hallways or training rooms or wherever, is a Lucario with his aura-sensing tendrils tied back with a green scarf, a small scar above his left eye. He makes a point of not rushing Ren in the immediate aftermath of his return, but at some point he decides to introduce himself.

"Hey, welcome back, I hear? I'm one of the new guys, among the Oran Berries."

[With no medical experience, Noelle isn't doing the checkup-- but, she does appear to take down some information and set things up for the actual nurse. She has a wax tablet that she uses with her hoof to write in a sort of runic shorthand that she's been learning as she goes. No longer being bipedal has been rough, but the Deerling is determined to make it work.]

Hi! Umm, my name is Noelle. I'm new here, and I'm learning the ropes here at the clinic! I'm just going to ask you a few questions, um, if that's okay. [She feels silly being nervous about it... this is her responsibility.] Can you state your name for me? And, how are you feeling?

"Ah! Ren!"

Ingo's moved out of the more communal rooming, along with Emmet, but he still spends a fair amount of time in guild headquarters. There's often new arrivals to help out, after all! "I am glad to see you up and about! Did you just recover recently?"

While not a licensed medical professional (he had been arrested before he could finish his studies), Anasui is technically qualified enough to do basic medical checkups, especially now after having three full months of training at the Clinic. However, he wasn't initially assigned to Ren... he had just decided to take control of the checkup when he saw Ren's name on the waiting sheet the Chansey had shared.

The Espathra strolls in with a bag of medicine and a tablet with the results of Ren's last check up in his beak (stolen from the front desk). He puts the tablet down on a display stand and stares right at Ren.

"Hmph... Done giving Akechi a heart attack? Or is that still on the table?"
