week zero, wednesday

[countermeasures]

[whew! it's time for a break now that they've gotten quite a bit of work done on the cleanup. jiuqing wipes her brow and smiles at meteion.]

We all worked hard today, don't you think?

[meteion]

Everyone is working.. very hard! It makes me happy to see everyone working together, too.

[ Meteion offers a cup of tea over to her, offering a smile in return. ] Ah, but we shouldn't push ourselves too hard..

[countermeasures]

[she accepts the cup of tea with a soft "thank you" and takes a sip.]

Yes. It's important to make sure we don't exhaust ourselves... if there's more we need to do tomorrow, we won't be in the right shape to do it if we push ourselves too much now.

[meteion]

[ the tea might be a bit sweet because of Meteion's mood, but at least not too sweet! ]

Back home Hermes told me that it's good to set a good pace for yourself. [ she sways her legs a little as she sits. ] Do you think... everything we're doing, is helping this place?

w1, monday

[meteion]

[ here is one curious bird peeking at the newly Hot Springs from the front, she looks.. puzzled. When someone else comes along she perks curiously and-- ]

Oh! Hello Su Jiuqing! [ she's sheepish now ] I've never seen a Hot Springs before so... I came to look.

[countermeasures]

Hello, Miss Meteion.

[she is here for a nice relaxing soak.]

...if you've never been to one before, you really should try it out. They're quite relaxing.

[meteion]

Just.. "Meteion" is okay.

[ she is but baby. ]

Are they? [ she does a little shift where she stands ] I.. I want to!

w1, saturday post-trial

[meteion]

[ here comes a lil bird shuffling into the medbay, peeking around and catching sight of someone she was certainly keeping an eye out for. ]

Su Jiuqing... are.. are you alright? [ feral marie chomped you :( ]

[countermeasures]

I'm alright.

[meteion!! jiuqing smiles faintly and holds up her hand. it's bandaged.]

See? All taken care of. In a few days, it'll be good as new.

[meteion]

[ gingerly touches the bottom of that hand, peering at it as if to doublecheck. ]

I hope so... [ she grows a little quiet, looking down before glancing back up. ] It's.. going to happen again, next week too.. isn't it? What happened to Kazuma.. and Ryunosuke.

[ she droops a little. ] Riff told me that... the Prism responds to everyone.. here. That it tries its best.. to give us what it thinks we want and need. What if... it took the "murder mystery" party... too seriously?

w2, friday post-body

[meteion]

[ Meteion is just leaving the greenhouse atop the apartment's rooftops before she realizes she has company.

To which she quickly rubs and wipes at her eyes, straightening her posture. As if to try and appear a bit more... stronger than she actually feels. ]

Su Jiuqing... hello.

[countermeasures]

[well


it's touch week so jiuqing is immediately crossing over to reach for meteion's hand]

Hello, Meteion. I wanted to see you.

[meteion]

Me? [ her hand raises to meet with jiuqing's own, not turning away. ]

I'm... [ she frowns a bit more, as though struggling to find words before she finally settles on ] I'll be... okay. I.. I have to be strong for him.

w3, monday

[meteion]

[ museum time! in which.. Meteion can be spotted curiously trailing after a walking... skeleton?

though, she pauses when she catches sight of Jiuqing and jogs on over to. ] Su Jiuqing, hello!

[ her smile isn't as bright as it once was, but she's doing her best. she genuinely does look happy to see her though. ]

[countermeasures]

Meteion... hello.

[jiuqing narrowly dodges a memshare bubble (not yet, satan!) and crosses over to meet the baby bird in the middle.]

They have a lot of interesting exhibits here, don't they?

[meteion]

[ wow, that dodge... jiuqing is so cool. ]

I don't really understand some of it, but.. I always like, seeing all the new things. Oh, and there are those statues that seem to enjoy talking, too! [ more shale(s)... ]

week four, thursday

[countermeasures]

[meteion is going into a pod she has no choice in the matter

anyway, as promised, jiuqing is here once she comes out of it - her expression concerned, but her vibes still radiating relief, and affection, and as much calm as she can manage. it's all tinged with worry, but there really isn't any helping that.]

Miss Meteion...

[meteion]

[ damb how i told my curfew she didn't OKAY ONLY ENOUGH TO STABILIZE but because Jiuqing is here, she'll be able to see everything that's happened to this bird teen! let's start from head to toe..? From her head, her right wing is fractured-- if Jiuqing is familiar with bullets, it looks like one or something whizzed right on by and nicked it. Taking a good handful of feathers as it has less compared to the other wing.

Along her hands and arms she has a bunch of scrapes, as if trying to protect herself from sharp fragments of something. One of the most nastiest injuries is the extremely deep gash on her back from shoulder to hip. And on the front is a slash from the front at the right shoulder to elbow. But... what looks most fatal? Is the stab above her heart. Fortunately, despite how it looks, it doesn't seem fatal in prism.

There's an injury akin to being skewered in her left side, a spear gouge in her left thigh. A slash made of a sword on her right side and... well, some nicks and scrapes along her legs as well but nothing too serious. ...whew! ]

Dying felt... so cold. So, so cold. [ she's trembling. ] P-Prompto tried to save me, he did save me but I...

[ .... ] I died. Again.

[ :') ]

There wasn't... there wasn't anything we could do.

[countermeasures]

[CAN YOU PLEASE BE NICE TO THIS BABY BIRD HOLY SHIT ZETSU

anyway.

jiuqing takes stock of the injuries, mentally mapping out where she's hurt and how, reaching for the supplies she'll need to treat them with to help make meteion a little more comfortable. she will be going back into that pod. honestly, jiuqing wishes she had stayed in there a little longer.]

...that's over now. You're here... you're safe. Prompto is safe, too. And Sir Aymeric.

[she's familiar enough with these types of wounds by now that she can treat them, so she gets started on it.

i, britt, am a dumbass who knows nothing, so please just assume that she's treating them well.]

week four, friday

[countermeasures]

[jiuqing comes looking for meteion...! and finds her in the apartment lobby. it's a little concerning to see her up and about so soon after she came back so hurt, but jiuqing tries to keep her vibes calm for the baby bird's sake as she crosses over to her.]

Miss Meteion?

[meteion]

Oh.. Su Jiuqing. Just Meteion is okay... [ to be fair, she also went on a mini-investigation. ]

Are you okay..?

[countermeasures]

[meteion...]

Meteion, then. [she smiles] And just "Jiuqing" is fine, in that case.

I'm alright. [...] What about you? How are you feeling?

w5, thurs pre-curfew

[meteion]

[ In the medbay, assuming that's where Jiuqing is taking care of everyone--

Meteion approaches her with a cup in hand! It smells sweet, and looking at it it's... hot chocolate! She'll gingerly hold it out to her. ] Jiuqing, make sure you're taking some breaks.. alright?

[countermeasures]

[it is, for the most part.

...oh, hot chocolate. she accepts it gratefully and takes a small sip. mmm...]

I will. Thank you for bringing me this, Meteion. It's very sweet of you.

[meteion]

[ she looks a little relieved, smiling a bit more. ]

I'm glad you like it. Kashuu had told me, it's the kinda thing that.. helps people feel better. [ thinks of something else someone told her. ] It's like.. an emotional bandage.

[ so she hopes it gets her wish to comfort across. ]
