Who: Rikku + friends and Aef family

What: Fallout from a recent run-in with a naga.
Warnings: Probably none? It's mostly Rikku being in bed and/or sneaking out of it.



0. Coven Infirmary

[For the first day after her fight with a feral Leanne, Rikku spends her time in an infirmary bed doped up on antivenom and other medications. She's not especially great company at this point, but if you really want to have a conversation with a barely-awake, drugged-up teenager go off I guess.]


0.5 Coven

[Confirmed with Leanne's player that 'Rikku convinces Leanne to get Bonded and they go through with it' goes here. :) ]


I. In Rikku's Bedroom

[After a little over a day, the antivenom has completed its work and Rikku is released to homecare with instructions to take it easy. Her shoulder is pretty messed up, after all, and her body needs time to replenish the lost blood.

As the medicine in her system wanes and Rikku becomes more awake and aware, it becomes quickly apparent that she is not a great patient. If you're lucky during your visit, you'll find her in bed where she's supposed to be recuperating. More likely, she's up and around the room trying to find something to do that will keep her from going stir-crazy. The sling her left arm is in makes some movements cumbersome, of course, but that doesn't stop her. Possibilities include redecorating, tinkering with some discarded bit of carpentry or technology, playing with potions, trying to climb out the window for fresh air...

Sorry, she's just like this.]


II. In the House Kitchen

[Of course, the logical conclusion of a stir-crazy patient is breaking out of the bedroom altogether.

Currently, Rikku can be found in the kitchen making herself a snack. She's humming to herself, completely unaware of your approach until it's too late for rushing away and plausible deniability. When she finally does notice, she turns to face you wide-eyed and with a roll hanging out of her mouth.]

Uh... hi?

[Busted.]

[Shocking!]

Yeah! I've been doing a bit of tinkering here and there, especially since the moment I leave this room everyone gets on my case about it.

[She digs into her nightstand with her good arm and fishes out a half-finished handheld machina.]

Eventually he'll be able to stab things with this arm here. See?

[She manually moves the hinge to demonstrate.]

[noblegarnet]

[He'd expected she'd made something or other, but he's still impressed by the actual result, even if it's not finished.]

I'm guessing it's just a model, unless you plan on stabbing a lot of ankles.

[It could make a funny prank, depending on what the stabbing is being done with...]

That's great, though. Using something like that to scout ahead would be useful, I'd think. [Like a mini drone, but one that's built better than the ones that dropped all those "gifts" from the mirrors. The possibilities are exciting, honestly.]

[al_bhed]

[Rikku giggles at the thought of stabbing ankles. She honestly hadn't even thought of that, but she can definitely think of some ankles that deserve shanking.]

Yeah, this is just a proof of concept prototype. I figure I can tie some string or something to the arm and tease the cat with it once it's done.

And thank you! I can't take full credit--it's similar to what we used to use to patrol outside Home back home. But I figure we can find a use for it here.

[noblegarnet]

It's still amazing that you remember it well enough to make one here.

[Credit where credit's due!]

I'm sure we can. [It's bound to be more useful than he would be in the Wilde.] Is there anything I can bring you to help?

[al_bhed]

Thank you! It's been a lot of trial and error, but I'm getting there.

[She needs to learn to stop downplaying these achievements of hers.]

I think I have everything I need for this little guy, but when we do the full scale thing I'll definitely let you know. Thanks in advance for that!

[noblegarnet]

[Don't worry, he'll compliment her enough to make up for it.]

Of course. It's the least I can do, and I'm interested to see what you come up with.
