Welcome to Gaia! ::

A female voice came from somewhere outside the room, immediately followed by a few nurses and a doctor. Good, a doctor finally decided to show up. Sora thought to herself. Slowly getting up from her chair she moved into one of the corners and watched quietly as the doctors and nurses moved about. They even had Kay removed, seeing as the older boy was just sleeping on the chair and was very much in the way.

Sora wasn't really watching the doctor, but she saw the man pull out a string of some sort. What was that? It looked it the doctor pulled it out of David's pocket, but Sora wasn't sure. After all, she could only see over the man's shoulder. After the nurses, and finally the doctor, left, Sora went back to sit down in the chair next to the boy's bed. That's when she finally saw what the string held. Talismans? At least, that's what they kind of looked like, but the girl wasn't sure. So she lay back in the chair and closed her eyes slightly. Once David woke up, she would ask him.

(('Eh, kinda crappy post.... ))

Waking up from his dazed state within a few hours or so. Kay got out of his bed, the nurse concearned about him, but he pushed her aside. "I have to go, I am fine!" he said walking sluggishly out of the room he had been seated in. He was working off the after effect of the sleeping pills, and used the wall to help balance himself as he walked to the storage room. The nagging woman was still right behind him, but as he doned his equipment an evil glare sat upon her followed by a smirk. AS the door closed the woman, hanging by chains, would be squirming and trying to scream through tape. He locked the door and left the hospital.

Slowly, ever so slowly, David’s eyes cracked open. He felt different, like he had been, sleeping. How long had it been since he slept? And why did he feel like it now? Before he could answer that question though, he realized he felt something rather odd. Tubes running into his body, some in very uncomfortable places. Who the hell was brave enough to-? Tubes? He’d never have stayed in meditation deep enough for that to happen. Reaching up above his face, the boy yanked out the first and most convenient of the tubes, one that had been rather unceremoniously shoved down his throat, and shoved it aside, ignoring the slow drip of brown gunk falling out of it. Best not to think about that.

Slowly sitting up, the boy also popped several wires that had been attached to him off, shoving them aside in much the same way. Next would come those less pleasant… Wait a second. Something was indeed not right. Twisting around in the bed, he let his feet fall to the floor, where they landed with a soft plop, confirming his suspicion. His feet would never reach the floor from a normal sized bed. Much less the foot of the bed while lying down, as they had been. What exactly was going on here, and where were his pants?

Seconds later, the boy was up on his feet, blanket wrapped around his waist, and tubes best left forgotten on the floor. He didn’t know why he was here, and he didn’t feel like staying. He was going to find an explanation for what was going on here. About that moment however, a nurse walked past the room, glancing in the door for a moment before continuing by, only to stop a few feet down the hall, turn around, and dart back and look in the door again, before running off yelling something at the top of her lungs. ”What the hell?”

Only moments later, a new person came by, this time a doctor apparently, who gave the biggest smile he possibly could and walked into the room, gesturing for David to sit back down on the bed and saying he’d explain everything. How convenient. A quick glance back at the bed, and the tubes thereon, however, moved David instead to sit down in a chair designated for visitors, to which the doctor gave a light chuckle as he grabbed a chair himself, and sat in front of David.

”Well, it’s a long story.” The man began, only to be interrupted immediately. ”Where are my pants?” David deadpanned, staring at the man dully. ”Ah, yes. One second.” The man stood up and moved to a small box by the door, speaking into it for a few seconds before returning to his seat. ”A nurse will bring you some clothing shortly. While we wait, shall I explain?” The man asked, his smile never leaving his face all throughout the whole ordeal. At David’s shrug and nod, he did just that.

”Well, after your stunt during the Cloverfield attack, yes, we’ve heard all about it, you used up a dangerously large amount of your chakra, much too quickly. This sudden use of chakra burnt you out from the inside, putting you into a state of sleep that, for the time being, even the Ichibi couldn’t break through, luckily enough. That would have been a disaster in and of itself. One of the genin brought you to the hospital, where you were placed in the emergency care unit with the rest of the patients. The nurse on duty was new, and didn’t recognize you to know how to deal with such a thing, luckily another who did was around, and we got that sorted out with those talismans on the bed there.” The man paused, gesturing to the bed, where a string covered in talismans laid. If David had paid more attention, he would have noticed it coming off along with all the tubes and wires.

”At first, we thought you were just suffering chakra exhaustion and just left you with normal treatment. That thought changed when you slept through the first week. Normal even severe cases only last a week or so, and subjects begin to show signs of activity by then. You however, slept like a rock. After several months had passed, and you were still there, some of the more, adventurous, doctors, got a hold of your childhood medical files, mostly concerning your size. They did some experiments on you, despite protest from various people, including a young girl who has been in to see you quite often.” The man paused at that, chuckling slightly at David’s look of confusion. The boy apparently had no idea who he was talking about. Oh well. ”Anyways, to make a long story short, they managed to locate the problem, and fix it. You had some cells that weren’t reproducing properly, causing you to grow very slowly. While that sounds great at first, it wouldn’t have made you live any longer. You’d just have died looking twenty or so.” He stopped again to let that sink in, looking to the door as the nurse finally arrived carrying a change of clothes for David.

David happily accepted the clothes, immediately slipping the pants on under the blanket, before tossing it aside and slipping into the rest of the outfit. It wasn’t the most attractive of clothes, but he didn’t much care. He was dressed, and they were actually rather comfortable. Once he was dressed, he turned back to the man and nodded for him to continue, the nurse having already left after delivering the clothes.

”There’s not much more to it after that.” The doctor said, glancing up at the ceiling for a moment. ”We put you on some extra drugs to boost your growth for awhile, and your body caught up pretty well on it’s own. It’s been about a year since the Cloverfield incident now though, to give you perspective. According to our records, that would make you fifteen now. Congratulations.” The man stopped once more, his already large grin even larger, yet still seemingly happy, rather than the forced plastic smiles of some doctors. ”Let’s see, what else can I tell you… Well, we have a new kazekage. You might have seen her, Jade fought Cloverfield with you. She’s the one that brought down the blast of lightning. I think everyone in town saw that blast. Some hope never to see it again. What else… Ah!” Realization lit up in the man’s eyes as he remembered one last detail, something that should have been obvious to tell the boy first. ”You passed the exams last year! You’re officially a chuunin of Sunagakure. You should probably see the kazekage as soon as you can.” He finished, with an even wider smile than ever, making David seriously wonder if the man’s face would split in two. Though his own wasn’t so far off, relative to his usual bored expressions anyways.

Finally done with his stories, the doctor stood up and gave David one last nod and smile, before walking out the door, waving behind him. ”Good luck kid, and don’t let me catch you in here again!” he called back with a chuckle, before vanishing down the hall, undoubtedly off to terrify small children with his insanely happy smiles and longwinded stories.

With the man finally gone, and most of his questions conveniently answered, David stood up and simply began walking back and forth in the room, stopping every now and then to twist and pull various muscles in his body. They must have had him on some special medication, because the muscles were all working perfectly, but he still needed to get used to this new body. He doubted he’d be able to do some of the stuff he used to quite so easily with such a difference, and no conversion time.

As he heard the voice at the door, David turned to see who it was, and found himself staring for several moments. Who was this person? After about five seconds, it clicked. She looked a little different, a lot different if you considered the altered angle he was seeing her from, but wasn't this... Huh, what was her name again? The girl from the chuunin exams anyways. "Ah, it's you. I guess so, yeah. Didn't exactly intend to fall asleep in the first place..." he muttered the last of it, scratching his shoulder a bit. It was a bit awkward trying to talk to someone you hardly knew, after being asleep for a year. That, and he wasn't totally "Awake" yet. He still needed some time to sort himself out.

Looking at the girl more closely, David cocked his head to the side, trying to get a better grip on the height difference. She was still taller than him, but only by a few inches now, where it had been a good two feet or so before. Definitely a strange new way to see the world. He had to wonder if people would even recognize him. More so, would he recognize them? It would be strange trying to figure all of this out. But back to the point. "You kinda look like you could use the sleep instead..."

{ I'm getting an interesting feeling with these awakening posts. I think I'm going to be very happy that I let all of this happen. He seems a bit happier too. Or maybe that's just cause he's confused. }
