Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaori glared at the robot a moment more, then sighed as she shook her head in exasperation. "Ok then, I think we'd better hurry up and get him a room here then..." She glanced around for a second, then looped Shepard's arm back over her shoulder and began to lift him up. She paused though, as she suddenly realized he was mumbling to himself. She blinked at him in confusion, then shook her head again before half dragging him up to a nurse as the woman walked by.

"Excuse me," Kaori said anxiously. "But I need a room for him. He got in a fight and-"

"Not to worry!" the woman exclaimed and instantly began leading them down a hallway. "This sort of thing happens all the time." She glanced Shepard over once, then headed into a nearby room. Kaori set Shepard gently on the bed and the nurse went to work professionally cleaning his wounds and bandaging him up.

Kaori seated herself in a chair beside the bed, wanting to make sure everything was well before she took her leave.

Kaori blinked as Shepard began speaking in his sleep. She leaned forward urgently, placing her hands on the edge of the bed as she tilted herself towards him. "Shepard...?" she asked quietly, not sure what to do. Her eyes widened slightly as she took in his words and her mind went back to the fight they'd left. Had Mergex really died? Did that mean Gordon had won? Could... could they free Sai now?

After bandaging him, the nurse had left so now it was just the three alone in the room again. Kaori began biting her lip nervously, glancing over at the robot as it spoke. Her eyes narrowed as she started growling in her throat. "Will you shut up?" she hissed. "He's not on the verge of death. He's going to get better! Why don't you do something useful for once, like tell me how to help him?"

Celestial walked into the front room of the hospital, dressed in a white uniform. Her long black hair was tied into two messy buns near the back of her neck. Her large violet eyes were framed by a liquid line of black eyeliner. In one arm she carried a clipboard, her other was resting on the front counter. She was chewing white gum, peppermint flavored.

After a quick conversation with the person sitting at the front desk, Celestial fixed her hat on her head and walked casually down a hallway. After passing a large number of inconspicuous door, she arrived at one filled with crayon drawings tapped onto the dull white of the door.

Smiling slightly, Celeste opened the door and turned down the green and blue hallway, letting her eyes drift over all the paintings, crafts and other things. She was going to go read for the children in their rec room.

Her pale face now in a full grin, the nurse opened a door into a large playroom. A roomful a wary faces turned to stare at her, each wondering something different about this nurse. Celeste calmly turned to the book shelf and began picking her way through the books.

After a while, she had a small pile. She then went to a bean bag chair and sprawled ungracefully on top of it... making some of the bolder kids laugh. Pretending not to notice, Celeste opened the first book and began mispronouncing all the words, stuttering them and looking troubled.

Most of the kids were out right laughing at the teenager who couldn't read but one shy girl made her way over to the unruly nurse. She tugged on the woman's skirt, shaking slightly.

"Ummm... miss, you don't pronounce it like that."

Celeste turned her eyes to the girl and let out an over-exaggerated sigh, her face going into a full outright pout. "I knew it. I just don't get it. Why does reading have to be so hard."

The girl laughed in spite of herself and carefully climbed into the older girl's lap. "It's not really.. you just have to separate the sounds." The girl began to point out the words. When she had trouble with one, an older boy came over and said it proudly. Soon Celeste was crowded with kids aiming to show off their reading skills... or help the younger ones learn.

Celestial was laughing with the kids as she read a book properly, right as a child dropped to the floor in a seizure. Calmly she cleared everyone from around the boy and knelt over him. She checked his pulse, it was flickering. Quickly she removed a safety pin from her pocket, grabbed the boy's tongue and punched the metal through it.

After it was closed off and infront of her teeth she checked his heartbeat. Celeste sent out a mind com to a near doctor and then commenced to do CPR on the child. no one could ever say Celestial wasn't prepared for this kind of thing.

Most of the children were fine, having been in the hospital for awhile they were used to it. A couple newer ones though had to be soothed by older kids. After the doctor came to take care of the boy, Celeste thanked everyone who helped.

It had been awhile and she was being called to her next job. Celeste hugged most of the kids, waved to others and then left the children's area, wondering who wanted her right now.

Kichi struggles herself up and jumped by the sound of a yelp. She looked around at the paitents in bed and looked to see if any of the screamed. She gave up and shrugged. Time slips...Could it be possible? Kichi thought as she struggled her way out of the hospital breathing heavely.

Celestial turned sharply at the shound of the two entering the hospital. Even her, an experienced assasin winced at the pain there must have been. Even if Celeste was hired as a nurse, she was trained as a doctor. Celestial hung the clipboard on the back of her belt and carefully bent down, making not to reveal anything beneath her skirt.

The woman then began weaving her hands around, purple lights flowing in their path. An aura began to encircle the two and gently lifted them up in the air. Celeste left them floating while she walked over to the receptionist. "I'll take these two with me and get them comfotable, a doctor may come if needed, I think I can handle it though."

The receptionist nodded, she had known Celeste for quite awhile, a doctor wouldn't be needed. If it was, Celeste could call them anytime with a mind com. "Room 304" Celeste smiled and nodded and headed out the door casually, keeping the door open for the floating people with ore magic.

She arrived at an elevator and carefully turned the two from lying positions in the air until they were vertical, but not touching the ground. After a quick ride in the elevator, she turned down a hallway into a room with two beds.

Alyssa went in the farthest one, Hiro on the one closest to the door. Carefully, Celestial propped up Hiro with pillows, making him confortable, then did the same to the unconscious girl. After putting her in a nice position, she moved back to Hiro.

"Hi there, My name is Celestial Lullaby, just call me Celeste though. Can you tell me your name and the name of the other one and what happened, what hurts?" She whipped out her clipboard and a pen, chewing on the cap. It was easier to ask first rather then an invasive examination.

Alyssa squirmed uneasily as she was fitted into her bed causing her to awake suddenly. Her vision was blurred and everything was still hurting with an agony Alyssa could never describe. Oh god... she thought to herself, but shut herself up when a young lady's voice popped into the picture. Her eyes fluttered a few times until Alyssa's eyes finally focused on the blurry figure bending over another figure.

"Hi there, My name is Celestial Lullaby, just call me Celeste though. Can you tell me your name and the name of the other one and what happened, what hurts?"

The voice was soothing and obviously not speaking with Alyssa, but she was in too much pain to be ignored right now. "Ugh...I have broken legs and ribs...while Hiro.." she made a motion with her delicate hand over toward the bed next to Celeste. She assumed that it was Hiro she was trying to speak with, but he was unconcious and wouldn't wake up without medical attention, "if he doesn't get help he'll die soon. His wings are destroyed, and I believe a good few of his ribs are broken and peircing his lungs.." Alyssa continued, taking a deep, raspy breath afterwards.

Dried blood covered most of Alyssa's clothing items along with her hands and face because of the fight. Her dirty, blonde hair was matted as it covered the entire white pillow. Her attire was tattered so much it could not even be considered an outfit; she looked like a homless person who got beaten up by a mob or something of that sort.

Alyssa took another ragged breath as she continued answering Celestes' questions. "W-We...fought one another cause I wanted to...and..it got..out of hand..." she groaned in pain as she tried desperately to shift her position to face Celeste fully, and to reveal the guilt she had begun to feel as soon as she answered the first question. "I'm Alyssa Darkwood...and that...is...is..Hiro..." she realized she didn't know Hiro's last name, but she was almost positive Celeste could find out, "I don't know his last name..." Alyssa added dismally returning her hand back to the top of the white sheet trying to smear the already dried blood onto it so she could get clean herself.
