Holes and Patches [OPEN FREE FOR ALL]

[leapoffayth.livejournal.com]

After the battle, the warriors' task was over. Their job, for now, was to rest and recover for the time being.

The healers' job, on the other hand, was far from over. Some exhausted from the battle, others rotating in, they took to their bay and continued the process of treating the wounded. Some patients were free to leave in a few minutes, while others would have some time (or quite some time) on the cots. Their mission: relax. Stay as still as possible.

Unfortunately, the temptation of so many familiar faces alive and about would ultimately prove to be too great. Keeping track of this group was going to be a third task all its own.

[this is a free for all for all your injured! Have them socialize, be thorns in the medics' side, try to escape, or bring the medics together for some action. Just note in your post if you'd like a medic to visit your character---if not, it's time for a chat!]

"Alright, whatever works," Rachel says in reply, giving a half shrug, even if her eyes narrowed slightly. She wasn't quite worried, but still. If he said he was fine, then whatever, he was fine. Though she does notice that expression. She wasn't too surprised he was hurt, but still.

Then she shrugs again at that. "Uh, not exactly. I've got my own ways of dealing with it." Besides an uncanny ability to be perfect at all times.

Jamie sniffs. "Just like a lassie to be all mysterious about that sort of thing." Even though his expression looks to be serious, there's that faint teasing note to his voice, and a slight twinkle in his eye.

Injured he may be, but he can't help but try and pick on her just a little. She's a friend, and he has to do that once in awhile. It also may help her think he's not so injured, which could be a good thing. He saw that narrowing of her eyes.

"Aye, well," he says, more seriously. "I suppose as things go, we're not so badly off. It could have been a lot worse."

[pretty_lethal]

"Of course," Rachel says mischievously. "A girl has to have her secrets, right?" She was okay with the teasing, this time. Plus, it is good to see he's okay. Even if she doesn't believe it totally.

Then she nods. "Yeah. Could have been worse." She frowns, taking a sidelong glance toward some others. She could see some worse injuries from there. "I guess your armour did a good enough job, and morphing took care of me."

[bonnypiperlad]

"Right." He's grateful for the armor, as it's saved his life more than once, and the extra boost to his fighting hasn't hurt there either. Especially in this case, where he can see some of the others and how badly they've been hurt.

That last thing she says catches his attention, however, and he turns away from watching the other patients and gives her a curious look. "Ye call it morphing as well?"

[pretty_lethal]

Rachel nods to him, at that. "Basically, yeah. There's not really many better words for it, right?" Well there were some, but morphing was one of the better ones, probably. "So what, yours is like some morphing Power Ranger thing?" she asked.

((ooc: let me know if that's not okay dfgdfgd))

"Well, aye, of course it is," Jamie replies, sounding a little confused. "Billy built it, after all."

For all that talk in the past about the sacred threads and people's stories getting spread through the multiverse, it doesn't really occur to him that Rachel might be thinking of the tv show when she mentioned it. Pop culture references tend to go over his head most times, for obvious reasons. He just assumes that she knows somehow about Billy being the Blue Ranger from being on the ship.

"They're not quite like the one he's got, though," he adds thoughtfully. "The plans were a bit different."

(( OOC: it's perfectly fine! Jamie just...doesn't get it, lol. ))

[pretty_lethal]

"Right," Rachel says, rolling her eyes just a little bit. Okay, so maybe she shouldn't have expected that to make sense to Jamie. Since he is from the past. By a lot. Pop culture references were not going to start making sense to him just because they were pulled into some kind of science fiction world.

"Fair enough," she says finally, shrugging it off. "But what works works, right?"

[bonnypiperlad]

"Aye," Jamie agrees, then happens to glance over and spot Martha, who happens to be heading over to the exam area with Jamie's chart. Apparently it's his turn. He gives an apologetic look to Rachel as he moves that way himself.

"I've got to go. I'll see ye later, aye?"

[pretty_lethal]

Rachel glances in the same direction as him, seeing the woman heading their way. One of the doctors.

"Right," she says, shrugging, before she straightens up, and turns to leave with a wave over her shoulder. "See you, then."
