83rd Devotion: First Aid at Home

[favoritetraitor]

[Accidental Video// Action for the apartment]

[The video comes to life, showing a somewhat harried Solomon walking quickly across the room. His crisp white shirt is painted a deep crimson from the collar down on one side. And his hand stays firmly pressed to the side of his neck as he disappears into another room for a moment.

When he returns, he carries a few bags of blood and a medical bag under in one arm.]

And I just bought the couch too. Of course, it will have to be replaced...

[Sighing, his body sinks down to dig through his medical bag, pulling out some sterile gauze, a roll of filament, and a curved needle with his free hand. He speaks to someone off-screen, voice assuring and calm.]

Don't worry, just a few stitches and everything will be fine~, you'll see.

[Turning to look off camera, he addresses the other person.]

I'm afraid I'll need your assistance now. Would you mind holding the compress while I prepare the sutures?

I'm rather surprised you're still conscious.

[Turning, his eyes latch onto the network device for the first time.]

Oh, it's on again? Why does that not surprise me?

2/2

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

But no, it's not as bad as it looks. The bleeding has just been very persistent... a few stitches and it should be fine.

Re: 2/2

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

The blood bags imply otherwise.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling a bit light-headed from Saya's feeding the blood loss... I suppose it was foolish of me to have waited so long to decide on stitches, but I'm not used to my body behaving as a hemophiliac's would...

[ooc: running out, will tag more later! <3]

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Scent of blood is wafting down thru the upper tunnels; large portion of the City must be affected.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be the most reasonable explanation. I suppose this one in particular is not much of a concern for you though~.

[fledglingofkyou.livejournal.com]

What an odd place to get hurt.

[voice]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Oh? I'd thought that most accidents occur at home.

[voice]

[fledglingofkyou.livejournal.com]

No, I mean... the neck.

[voice]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Oh, that... I... cut myself while shaving.

[voice]

[fledglingofkyou.livejournal.com]

Oh, I... see.

How come you're so calm about it? That looks dangerous, especially if the curse today is as the network suggests.

[voice]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Well, I am a doctor. It wouldn't do if I were to panic, especially since I'm the only one here with the proper medical knowledge of how to handle the situation.

Not that I've ever encountered this before... but I am experienced in Emergency Medicine~.

I'm afraid I hadn't been on the network today... how bad is it?

[itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com]

Solomon? You need help, mate?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Ah, Mr. Temple... yes, that would be helpful. Do you think you can pick up some supplies from the hospital for me? I'll call ahead of course and have them gather up the necessary items.

[itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com]

'Course, whatcha need. I mean, anythin', really. well, anythin' I can get m'hands on.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

You'll be bringing me some bandages, and some liquid skin adhesive. Also a small cooler with some bags of blood. I believe that that will suffice.

I'll be sure that it's all prepared for when you get there.

[itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com]

...right. Bags of blood...

I'll, um, head out now, yeah?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes. That would be fine. It might take them awhile to gather the items, if the Hospital is being overrun with victims of this particular curse... but hopefully it won't be too long of a wait.

Voice Post

[disregard-death.livejournal.com]

Oi, is everything alright over there?

Voice Post

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Ah, probably. Just adjusting to a new curse it seems...

[disregard-death.livejournal.com]

... so it's a curse then? I nicked meself earlier today and I think I'm going to need yer help. I thought it was jus a papercut.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Can you make it to my apartment? I'm having some medical supplies delivered here shortly.

Action?

[disregard-death.livejournal.com]

Keats was quickly becoming less agitated and more worried about his papercut. It ran the length of his hand, from the crook of his thumb to the wrist and it would not stop bleeding.

If he wasn't imaginary, Keats was certain that he would have been light headed. Even now, he wasn't feeling quite himself.

He lifted his uninjured hand to knock on the door.

Action

"Coming," came the muted reply. From the sound of it, the bearer of the voices was a bit away from the door.
Thankfully, it wasn't long before the door opened. The young lady holding the knob gave a light smile, even if it was tinged with nervousness.

"Come in." She paused, then flustered a little, "Do you need any help in? I suppose I should have asked that first..."
