Hospitals and Visits, Oh My!

Who: Sick animals and you
What: Hospital visits!
Where: FDC's Pokecenter
When: Anywhere between the 13th to the 21st!
Warnings: Guys being guys. Mons being mons.

For the next few days, everything was a blur for the both of them. Sasha felt sick to her stomach from everything, being unusually quiet apart from the small talks to the people online. But she was afraid no one would ever want to talk to her again after what happened. Guilty didn't even begin to scratch how she felt, especially after fights broke out in school that seemed to imply her attack was the catalyst. It felt terrible.

Most of her days, she spent watching the IV needles run down and drip, looking over at Vinnie but moving her head away before he could look at her and trying to replay the scenario and see what she could have done otherwise.

She could try to learn from this.

On the other hand, Vinnie had no regrets about his own actions. He was convinced that if he'd personally done anything different, pulled any punches, the results of that day would've been much, much worse. Inevitable as it was, it was the consequences that followed which weighed on him, as much as he tried not to show it.

His sister was tearing herself apart. His trainer was disgraced and his family worried sick. And he had disappointed anyone who might've been his friends. Somehow, he had to make it better. In comparison, his own grief felt irrelevant. Maybe even selfish.

It was probably why he was spending more and more time in his human form, even if it kept opening up his wounds. That way, he wouldn't have to be reminded of what he'd lost in Volgin's mutilation. Two leaves, amputated. It was enough to cripple him as a Venusaur.

Vinnie wanted out of this bed. To stop feeling nauseous and weak and get back into action as soon as possible. Maybe then he'd feel less helpless against everything.

[OOC- please post your date of the visit at the start of each log post 8Dc Also Char shows up after the 15th due to a gun shot to the tail. Green team is facing Red Team after that.]

"You think he's gonna attack somebody again? He's up to somethin'? Why? You need me to tail him?"

Char, what you will get is how Max tails Hawke. A large, very obvious guy standing around outside of his room/office, glaring at him whenever he appears. Are you sure you want to entrust Max with this job?

Um, yes. Max was huge and intimidating and about as subtle as having a brick rammed down your throat. Char was kind of banking on the idea that having someone obviously very large and obviously very used to the risks of human firearms (he was, after all, an army guy) would be enough of a deterrent to keep Raikov from getting too trigger-happy.

"Just wanna make sure nobody tries anythin' they might regret, that's all. Don't need nobody else gettin' a bullet up the ass."

"Alright, I'll do it for you. He shot you in the ass? That just seems downright cruel, how's a guy supposed to sit?"

How's a guy supposed to sit, indeed.

Char shrugged. He really hadn't graduated past the "lie there in an achy miserable little heap" stage yet.

"Real carefully?"

"Yeah, I guess. Still ain't right at all. You need a pillow or somethin? They make those little donut pillows for guys who get shot in the ass or got problems like that."

Char's eyes flicked down to the flame at the end of his tail. It was an embarrassment to look at -- a crappy little Charmander-flame, a sputtery pathetic little candle-wisp -- but it still burned.

"If I tried to put one of 'em around my tail, think I'd just set it on fire. Don't go worryin' about me, Max. Shit happens all the time and you know I always bounce back."
