Fandom Clinic, Thursday night

[livingartifact]

Jenkins had been startled to see a strange pink creature go rushing by the door to his shop, and when he went out to see what was happening, he was nearly trampled by a distressed alot carrying an unconscious woman. It only made sense, then, to assist the poor creatures to the clinic and ensure the unconscious woman got proper care.

It was almost a relief when the alot turned into a blue woman, so he could get some coherent answers.

"While the creatures you're describing are unfamiliar to me, the symptoms of your friend are not. I'll have to do some tests, with your permission, but I suspect the creature may have been trying to feed on her soul."

Raven pressed her hands to her mouth. "Can you -- can you fix it?"

"We'll have to see, my dear. In the mean time, at least you've gotten her to safety."

[clinic is open for any and all getting injured/knocked out tonight! And I should be done spamming the list now. . . .]

Patient intake

[livingartifact]

For anyone who needs to be brought in.

Rosa honestly hadn't meant to kick the door open nearly so hard it almost broke, it just sort of happened, and, by now, she was starting to suspect that maybe something was making her a whole lot stronger than she usually was. She wasn't about to dwell on it, though, not when there was an unconscious woman in her arms, but she was going to be really glad that it meant she hadn't strained at all to carry her and get her to the clinic before any of those monsters attacked again.

"I need a doctor!" she announced, the urgency clear in her voice, from many years of barking orders to a team.

Re: Patient intake

Jenkins wasn't a doctor, but he had at least enough lifetime experience to qualify as a triage nurse. He hurried over while the employed nurse on duty headed to find someone with an MD.

"My word!" He rolled a gurney over. "Quick, set her down here. May I ask what happened?"

Re: Patient intake

[died8yearsago]

"I don't know," Rosa said, carefully setting the woman down on the procured gurney, not so much because she needed the relief (weird), but because, well, that's what you did in these situations. "I'd just stepped outside, and I found this...this...wolf or...something....just attacking her. This wasn't even near the preserve, down by the causeway, by the bar. I shot it, stabbed it, I didn't wait around to find out if it was dead. She's breathing, but she's not responding."

Re: Patient intake

[livingartifact]

Jenkins nodded, noting all the information even as he checked Amaya's vitals. "A wolf?" he asked. "I'm not finding any claw or bite marks." He looked back up at Rosa. "This is the second woman brought in tonight in a similar state. I fear that Fandom is experiencing one of its . . . 'special times'."

Eric was clearly struggling by the time he managed get to the clinic, and was more dragging than carrying the unconscious sheriff.

"Um. I could use some help?" he called out, pushing open the door (which seemed about ready to fall off, weird).

Re: Patient intake

[livingartifact]

Jenkins was there quickly with a gurney. "You may set him down right here, young man," he directed. "Let me guess: this man was attacked by some sort of skinless wolf creature?"

Re: Patient intake

[omgnochecksyet]

"Uh-huh," Eric nodded, still looking kind of shaky and wide-eyed. "It tried to attack me, too, but..." he trailed off, still not sure how to explain it.

Sure, plenty of people on this island had superpowers. But he'd never been among them!

Re: Patient intake

[livingartifact]

"But?" Jenkins prompted, reasonably gently. "You certainly seem to be in far better shape."

Re: Patient intake

[sharp_man]

Apparently the clinic was experiencing an influx of patients (that is, more than one), and since he was willing to show up on call, they had called.

He showed up, looked around, got briefed by the nurse, and then went at her suggestion to speak with Jenkins.

"Hello. I'm told you may have more information as to what it is going on?"

Re: Patient intake

[livingartifact]

"Well. I have some information, certainly," Jenkins said with a shake of his head. "We have four patients thus far, all unresponsive. I suspect the injuries are magical in nature, though I can't guarantee it's not a case of a carpenter with a hammer only seeing nails."

Re: Patient intake

[sharp_man]

Hannibal made a moue of distaste. Honestly, he should try to find magical medical classes. He nodded at Jenkins' last statement, though. "Well, let me see what I can find physically. If a person with a screwdriver still finds the nails, or at best doesn't find any screws...then we may at least be relatively certain."

Patient beds

[livingartifact]

For those already admitted

Re: Patient beds

[tigerundercover]

Kathy was already in a bed, still unconscious. Raven was glued to her side, other than a few moments to leave messages for the boys.

"You weren't supposed to do this again, Kathy," she said, once she'd hung up the phone. "I'm going to be super pissed at you when you're better again."

Re: Patient beds

[not_every_mage]

Anders dashed to the clinic as soon as he got the message, and was red-faced and out of breath by the time he found Raven.

“What happened?” he asked — demanded, really. “Is she going to be okay?”

Re: Patient beds

[tigerundercover]

Raven had been quietly wishing there was some epic trek she could go on that she could pretend was going to fix Kathy, and digging herself slowly back into the even-more-feral mindset she'd been in on her long walk last year. She startled when Anders arrived, flashing a quick set of very sharp teeth, before getting herself back under control.

"We were celebrating in the preserve," she explained. "And this thing just came out and attacked. I've never seen anything like it. It was like a, a zombie dog on steroids or something."

Re: Patient beds

[rebelseekspizza]

"How's she doing?" Dante asked, stepping in not long after Anders, but much less dramatically. If there was any panic in him as he came in, it was visible only in his eyes.

(There was panic in him. He just didn't want to show it.)

Re: Patient beds

[tigerundercover]

Raven didn't know him well enough to spot it, but she did know him well enough to know it was probably there anyway.

"She's still alive," she said. "We still don't really know what happened or why she's unconscious, though. Just a bunch of theories about souls."

Thanks to the aid of a handwavey trooper, Summer had handwavily checked Kanan in and got him into a handwavey bed, and then created a tornado from all the waving hands just plopped down in a chair beside his bed, clutching Stance to her as tightly as he'd allow, and stared forward a little in a sort of shock.

Did they even allow animals to be in here? She didn't care, Stance wasn't going anyway. Stance needed her right now as much as she needed him, and she had no intention of leaving Kanan's side until a) he woke up or b) someone figured out what those monsters were and how they could completely destroy them. And when she blinked and looked around and little and saw that Kanan wasn't the only person in a bed right now, she shivered a little, realizing these people probably encountered the same thing, giving a little nod of solidarity to the other sentinels standing by.

She wasn't going to cry. She wasn't. She wanted to, but she wasn't going to let herself do it. Because in addition to everything else that just happened, the small bit of jello finally starting to melt out of her hair and leak spicy jalapeño jello juice into her eyes, she had to figure out what she was going to tell Hera....if she should even tell Hera at all.

Welp. At least if she did start crying, she could blame it on the jalapeños.

Re: Patient beds

[futurespacemom]

After getting Summer's message, Hera paused only long enough to grab some dog treats and a first-aid kit full of bacta patches before hurrying down to the clinic.

She stopped short when she saw Summer and Stance and Kanan just lying there. "Summer? What happened?"

Re: Patient beds

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Hera!" Summer sat bolt upright, not sure exactly what to do. What she kind of wanted to do, of course, was stand up and rush over and throw her arms around her and hug the crap out of her and apologize (why did she want to apologize? It wasn't her fault, she did everything she could to help, but she still felt so bad, almost guilty that it was even happening at all), but she also knew that if she did that, the she would definitely start crying, and once she started crying, she really doubted she'd be able to stop.

So she just sat there for a moment, fingers nervously scratching at Stance's side, shaking her head, and the moment she opened her mouth, it all just bubbled right out of her. "I don't know," she said. "I don't know what happened, I was on my way to your apartment, actually, I was going to bring you jello, and then I heard Stance barking, and I went to investigate, and...and...and there he was, just pinned down on the street by this...this...this thing, I don't know what it was, a monster or something, and it was on top of him, I don't even know what it was doing, but I got him off, Stance and me, we got him off, but I think it was too late, he wasn't responding, and I had to get help, but I got him here, and...and...and he seems okay, I mean, okay, I guess, all things considered, and...ohmygod, Hera, I'm so sorry."

And, look at that, she started crying anyway, big fat tears rolling unbidden down her face, cutting through some of the jello and other gunk that she'd only barely bothered to try to wipe off. She finished with a small sobbing sound and a sniffle, hugging Stance closer again.

Liam was... not doing much, of course. But there.
