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]

[voice]

[fledglingofkyou.livejournal.com]

What an odd place to get hurt.

[itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com]

Solomon? You need help, mate?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

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

[voice]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[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~.

[voice]

[fledglingofkyou.livejournal.com]

No, I mean... the neck.

[voice]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

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

[itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[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.

[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?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Maybe if I were coming topside.

[itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com]

...right. Bags of blood...

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

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Nothing in particular that you'd wish to take advantage of?

[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.

Re: Private

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

At this time, no.

[voice]

[fledglingofkyou.livejournal.com]

I think that's good, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Not everyone by far would keep their calm in such a situation.

It seems that any injuries acquired today will not stop bleeding.

[itsnoteveryday.livejournal.com]

That's okay. I can wait.

Private

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I suppose I shouldn't have hesitated in asking for you to run on that errand for me, in that case. But then, Mr. Temple was kind enough to offer, so it's a moot point.
