week 4

[airlockedmods]

[Four weeks in the Starfield Penitentiary and seven people have lost their lives to Blaze Dudely's cruel game. At some point the robots cleaned up the mess left behind and by Sunday the involved rooms (including the fridge) are all clean and free of blood. In fact there's no sign left of any of the deaths that have happened on the ship so far by at least the next day. The only physical signs that people are gone are the empty beds.

On Sunday morning, you may find that you're recovering a a few other things as well - both strange dreams and some new items.

In addition, there's a new set of doors at the end of the corridor, in the space between the infirmary and the exercise yard. Looks like you've got a new wing to explore.]



Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

[ it's pretty early in the morning and mako's not expecting anyone else to be in the infirmary. he's a little surprised by rideaux's presence, but it's not a huge deal.

he nods, working on unraveling the bandage. ]

Twice.

[ he unravels it enough to unveil a rather large lightning scar that runs up his hand to his elbow. ]

But that's all.

[ he...probably did it wrong ]

[pr159]

Well, better than nothing.

[ he tilts his head as he takes a look. it can hardly be a fresh wound, given how long they've been here by now. ]

Honestly, this doesn't even need dressing at this point. Are you just trying to keep it out of sight, or have you decided to incorporate bandages as a permanent part of your personal style?

[chides]

[ rideaux should tell that to LoK canon ]

It still--kind of stings. And feeling in my fingers is only just starting to come back. Should I just...get rid of it anyway?

[pr159]

[ get it on the phone right now and he will ]

I can tell you a bandage isn't going to help with decreasing numbness. Do you mean you've been experiencing it the entire time you've been here, though?

[ was there really that much nerve damage? ]

[chides]

[ ok calling bryke right now ]

Yeah, for the most part. Guess I never really realized it since I couldn't move my hand around.

[ idk how this works i'm just rollin with it RIP ]

[pr159]

[ lmfao i'm sorry i didn't know this was one of those ???? things ]

How did you get this, anyway?

[chides]

[ nO YOU'RE GOOD shit just. happens in avatar. ]

I zapped some spirit vines with electricity and got shocked back in retaliation.

[ ...that probably makes no sense out of context. but that's your answer rideaux ]

[pr159]

[ uh ]

You got "zapped" by vines?

[ he'll accept that the "spirit" part means there might have been some bullshit at work, though ]

[chides]

...Yeah. By its energy.

[ there was a lot of bullshit at work trust me ]

[pr159]

...All right.

[ fair enough. ]

That would explain the nerve damage, at least. I can't claim to know the specific effects of... vine energy, but as long as the feeling has been gradually coming back, I imagine you should be able to expect continued, if slow, improvement in function.

[ he sighs. ]

The technology I specialize in back in my world was initially conceived just for that sort of thing, actually, so if we were there, I could guarantee you a nearly full recovery.

[ with side effects that would hurt a lot more than whatever stinging he's got going on now, but. ]

Alas, I can't promise the same with the limited resources available to us here.

[chides]

Yeah, it's coming back. Didn't really have a chance to test it out very much, but I can at least feel my fingers moving around when I feel them.

[ he shakes his head. ]

Don't worry about it. I...guess it's just getting better on its own?

[pr159]

Mm. It's just a little frustrating not to be able to properly treat a problem when you know how to do it, is all.

[ shrug. ]

Well, we can do something about the stinging, at least, if that's still bothering you.

[ let's just go get that ointment out of the cabinet he moved it to before, where... it apparently... is not present. god damn it, rick. ]

[chides]

[ mako turns to look at that cabinet to see what rideaux is getting, but uh...

it's empty? ]

What were you supposed to be getting?

[pr159]

[ SIGHS MORE DEEPLY ]

Well, I did have an analgesic burn ointment in here, along with some other things for treating surface wounds. But clearly someone saw fit to move everything again after I'd arranged things.

[ going to huffily go and check a drawer where he thinks some of that stuff was originally?? ]
