Dear DIEary,

I lost a friend. Not an ally, not an asset, a friend. Though I'm not sure if I should be taking this lightly or if I should be mourning. Either way, the new found silence in the castle is making my mind go into over drive and it is NOT a pleasant experience.

No matter how many rats I stab, or how many birds I shoot to the ground, it's just not the same when someone's not there praising you for it.

I dunno, maybe I'm being spoiled since I was never praised back home...

It's the Devi situation all over again. But this time, I didn't attempt to kill the guy and I'm not attempting to kill myself...yet.

Fuck friendships, DIEary. I thought I was taking a nice step forward, but I'd rather take a step back. Back to a place where everything was peaceful and where I didn't have to worry about being...nice.

This is why I don't make friends.

[04 - Checking In]

[cloaklikeblood]

[Like so many others, Ruby woke up only to find herself in the clinic. The smell made her stomach churn. Medicine, blood, death. She wanted to run, to get as far away as she could. Unfortunately, her injuries made it impossible for her to do so.

Her left shoulder and arm are bandaged and placed in a sling to help keep it from moving. Her right side and arm is stitched up and bandaged. There are bruises all over her face and a bruise and cut along her neck. She was also in a lot of pain, but refused to say anything about it. There were people far worse off than she was. They needed the attention of the doctors more than she does.

She picks up her journal and slowly opens it. After a moment, she puts a couple of filters into place and begins to speak]

058. Black Mountain Side

[samson]

[Brock sounds distracted, but that shouldn't be that surprising.]

( Frodo )

Anybody who's good with animals, I got a favor. If you could dog-sit or whatever for awhile, that'd be great. I guess I can pay you or... something. Yeah.

[And, belatedly, because he keeps forgetting to do this, regardless of his state of awareness--] It's Brock, by the way.

[ooc. he can also be found in-person in the clinic if you would prefer an action thread!]

26-[Action/Filter]

[heal_theworld]

[Martel's been banished from the clinic on order of Dr. Watson and now she seemed to have some free time, but she didn't want it. She wanted to be helping down there as much as she could, but she had been banned from it. She'd already caught up on her sleep (as much as she could) and had a shower, and now... Now she wanted to do something so she didn't have to think about what had happened on that ship. Martel supposed she could go play her panpipes... Maybe she'll even visit the little Truffula tree and see how it was, maybe water it a bit for Once since he was laid up in the clinic. It wouldn't be too hard, as she was already outside in the courtyard.

But first, some filters to check up on people that she hadn't seen since they'd left that awful ship behind.]

[ooc:She'll be around the courtyard if you want to run into her and possibly by the little Truffula Tree.]

7th Ideal Sephira: Recovery

[sinsoftheblaze]

[Filtered to people Dextera knows]

[Dextera's handwriting is...messier than usual, but that's what happens when you're in pain. Fluids did wonders in helping with his regeneration when it was slow but it didn't do anything else besides that.

however that's a different topic all together and one he's going to avoid for the moment. or forever. probably the latter.]

I need some time alone, if that's okay.

[it's very rare for Dextera to use the words "I need" but he truly does right now.]


[ooc: if you've talked to Dextera once you can see the filter.]
