Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was that bad and they both knew it, or at least he did, but Dessie was going to be Dessie. Who else would she be after all? She was likeable, she really was, but she really should look after herself a bit more and maybe let other people. "Xander will look you over later." And she could be sure of that. There was no way she'd get past him, or one of his sisters, without them noticing and word getting to Xander about the shape she was in. At least he wouldn't have to worry, since he was being seen by someone now. He wouldn't worry any one of the three red headed Jacobs.

"I am surprised by how many are here." Though some did seem sick and not injured - like the two sharing a single blanket. Huddling into his hoodie more, grimacing as he moved, he sighed. He really needed to see the doctor, or nurse, or whatever and get handled. He might be an eternal, the wings he boasted when powered up proof of it, but that didn't mean he didn't take a beating in fights. It was rare he powered up, he was a lazy senshi, so it was no wonder he got hurt when he did power up and get into a scuffle.

"Notice anyone familiar?" He asked, dropping his voice so he wasn't heard.

Getting up from his seat he handed the blanket back to the female, thanking her softly for her kindness. "I hope you are seen soon." Since he doubted he'd see her again, he figured by the time one of them got out of here the other would be gone. When he got to the nurse, just as he passed into the back area, he asked about a blanket or two for himself. - he was cold. he had been kept warm by the offered blanket, and the warm body next to his. Now that he was away from both he was cold again, and he didn't like it.

When he got to the backroom, just as he was settling into a bed, the lights cut out and it went pitch black. "What...?" More to himself than anyone, or anything, else he went to reach for his phone so he could turn the flashlight on. "Anyone else here?" He knew people had been going back with him...but where were they.

Erich Jäger

Well it seemed as though some agreed with him, though that didn't help with his shoulder that was still causing him pain. He wanted to yell out "NO!" to the guy that had asked about anyone seeing a triage nurse, but it would have been more from the pain than any anger, but he knew it wouldn't be taken correctly, and instead pinched himself a bit to take his mind off of the fact that he still hadn't been seen yet.

When the nurse had come though he had yelled out, "Finally!" As a few of them were led to... another waiting room! Erich groaned in agony. "Seriously?! I should just leave! At least a chiropractor might be able to see me earlier!" The whole situation was starting to get ridiculous.

He sat down again, trying to figure out if there was another place he could go to that was near here, when suddenly the lights went out and everything was silent. There was some shuffling, and he slightly wondered if that meant that the staff had abandoned all of them and he groaned again. "No... That's it, I'm never going to go to one of these Urgent Cares again. Straight to the ER it is for me."

He tried to see if he could get a signal on his phone, but no luck. He wondered if the signal was being blocked somehow in the building. He wouldn't be surprised. "Well, should we be expecting a jump scare from an inactive mechanical animal mech that was created for a certain pizza place?" Maybe if they were going to die here, he could throw himself at whatever it was first so it would kill him faster. At least his shoulder wouldn't be hurting anymore.

It wasn't like he was scared of the dark, far from it, but the lights suddenly going off? That was another story, at least in this city and here in such a place. He could remember the last incident in a hospital when the lights had gone out - he didn't want a repeat. "Please...not a do over..." He whispered to himself, already starting to curl in on himself in his chair. Dark eyes looked around hopelessly, as if they might see something...anything. It was useless though, and he knew it, dark eyes didn't have as good a night vision as lighter eyes...and if no one else was saying they were seeing anything than the odds of him spotting something were slim. He had remembered, a while back, reading something on blue eyes, some study published. He'd been looking up something on monolids, a girl in school had been shocked to notice his eyelids had no crease like hers. She'd apparently never noticed it before on an asian person. So when he'd been reading up on, just wanting to do so out of curiosity, the other article had come up.

Already he was going for his cell phone, hand shaking a bit, he took note of the diminishing battery life on his phone. it wasn't dead but...it wasn't the best.

Sighing he went to turn on the flashlight app, hoping to see nothing but people and maybe even a nurse. It would be nice to see someone in charge, but he doubted it somehow.

"Should have told Nischal....or Jason." Though they'd have fussed and fretted, and likely take him to the hospital. He now would worry them more if he didn't get home by morning...or if he was even more hurt when he got home. He didn't want to worry them....he owed them a lot.

"No, " Desdemona answered quickly, and it wasn't a gut reaction this time; it was just the truth, pure and simple. "No, no, you didn't make it worse, you... you tried to help. You didn't set me free, but you did loosen the chains." And that said, she fell silent for a long moment, adding in a voice that was somehow even softer than before, "I think... I want to save the rest of that conversation home, if it's all the same to you." She felt strangely exposed in this florescent, sterile place all of a sudden.

The timing was impeccable; moments later, they were called away to another room with a few others, and that seemed like progress. "Finally, " she remarked under her breath (quietly bemused that another of their little group echoed her sentiments in a much louder way), although she did make it a point to flash the doctor - nurse? - whatever he was a charming little smile and a word of thanks as they passed. A little sweetness might mean the difference between being the first and last person seen by the doctor, and Desdemona wanted Otto taken care of so they could head home already.

She linked fingers with Otto as they headed into the other room, squeezing his fingers to try and remind him of the virtue of patience.Then, all at once, the lights went out - and immediately, Desdemona forgot all about the virtue she was trying to enforce and let out a ragged sigh of resignation. "That's it, " she announced, immediately getting back to her feet and fumbling for her phone, quickly flipping the flashlight on. "Enough is enough. Neosporin it is. Otto, let's go."
