Journal Entry 007 - [Action/Voice]

[consultmybooks]

[You know what sucks, Luceti? Waking up in the clinic and remembering exactly how you got there.

And this, in fact, is what has just happened to Giles.

He feels like he's just survived one of the worst cases of the flu in human history and the right side of his body is one big stinging ache and one hand's in a cast and he's suddenly so very glad he's awake because that means he's not dreaming.

He sits up, groans as his head throbs, and has to stop for a second so the world can stop spinning and he doesn't lose what little food he has in his stomach. Memories slowly trickle back. The infiltration, the mission, the prisoners, the attack, the...

His journal and his glasses are by his bed - he grabs both. When his voice comes over the journal, he sounds deeply worried.]

Is everyone all right? Did everyone make it back? [He fumbles with his glasses for a second. Once they're on, the world slides back into focus and everything makes a bit more sense. A though strikes him, and he laughs bitterly] I don't even know most of your names and I'm asking after your health. Dear Lord...

((ooc: I'm assuming Giles has spent the last couple of days inactive, mostly unconscious, and recovering, due to getting mauled by a hellish monster and exposed to poison air. Maybe awake on and off, but he only manages to get back on his feet today. Assuming one of you nice people that got him to the clinic after the infiltration mission, since falling unconscious from the poison and his injuries was kind of a given.))

I think you should be focusing on your own health.

Glad you're all right, McCoy. [And he does feel more than a little unsteady, even just sitting up, but he holds out] I'm fine, now. Not actively bleeding anymore, which is a noted improvement.

[hippocraticly.livejournal.com]

If I knew you were going to end up in that state, I wouldn't have argued with you that much. Take it easy, all right? Don't be so hasty.

[Jack wanders into the clinic. He's carrying a jar of honey, and is searching for McCoy. He notices that one room's door is slightly ajar and so pokes his head in, wondering if there's anything good to steal in there.]

Oh. Sorry, mate---wrong room.

Re: [Action]

[consultmybooks]

[Not at all pleased]

Wrong room, yes. Go away.

[Action]

[all7seas]

Hmph. What happened to you, then, mate? You look horrible.

Giles! You're back!......Again!

Re: [voice]

[consultmybooks]

Is this going to be a theme with the two of us?

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure it is, at the rate you keep getting kidnapped. How's things? What happened? Where are you?

[Buffy is coming to visit. She's got a plate in one hand. Be wary, Giles. Be very wary.]

Re: [action]

[consultmybooks]

[Oh, hi, Buffy, it's good to...what's with the plate?]

[Giles is too tired to be that concerned, but he is wary]

Ah, Buffy. Hello.

[action]

[herotypical]

Hi, how are you doing?

[She sets the plate down. Some malformed cookies populate it.]

[voice]

[folklorist]

Giles? My it's been awhile. Are you all right? [ Probably a stupid question since you're...well you sound a bit worse for wear. But he can't help but ask. ]

Re: [voice]

[consultmybooks]

Helios? You're back? [Also...probably a stupid question, but excuse him] Everything all right?

[voice]

[folklorist]

Ah! Ye-yes I am. I have been for awhile. [ It's okay they can both ask stupid questions at each other. ] Oh everything is perfectly fine, I'm more about you however. You sound...a bit worse for wear.

[Hey hey, it's one of his third floor companions! That guy who got injured and passed out. Not that Yuan's got a bad opinion of him now. Giles held his own pretty well out there.]

The name's Yuan. And yes, I'm fine.

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

[Oh, Giles remembers you]

That's good. That's...very good.

I know we didn't have much time for introductions, under the circumstances. Rupert Giles. Nice to properly meet you.

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

Likewise. How are you feeling?

[She was attending to some personal notes when she hears him speaking. Once he's done with his message though, she comes over, carrying a tray with some medicine and a cup of water.] You're awake, I see.

Re: [Action]

[consultmybooks]

Um, y-yes. Finally. Don't know how long it's been, but it feels like...a while since I got here. [And he barely remembers getting here]

[Action]

[applehair.livejournal.com]

It's been a few days, actually. I'm glad you're looking better at least. You weren't in the best shape when you arrived.

[Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

I'm alright. And you?

[Recognise this voice, except sounding very tired?]

Re: [Voice]

[consultmybooks]

[Recognizes, and Kouki does sound very tired] Much better.

McCoy said you wound up here, as well?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[Dropping in to check up on him. Maybe now she can be a little more useful now that she's not exhausted. Or as exhausted, anyway.]

... How are you feeling?

Re: [action]

[consultmybooks]

[Oh, Raine. Giles wants to talk with you very badly.]

Um, f-fine. It's just...

[He holds up a hand, looks around the clinic room, grabs his journal, and gets up] Just a second.
