Technical Difficulties

[hit_girl_mindy]

So she wasn't wearing her suit with the wig and mask right now. In a way, during the attack, she understood that maybe it just didn't matter as much anymore. Coincidentally, it was also when she was beat up the most. Even when she had faced that messed up Cain fucker after Sasami, she hadn't been as injured as this. Being thrown against a wall, shot a few times (thank you barrier jacket) and straining every part of her body to its max would pay a toll, and with everything being so wonky, the Overlord's healer hadn't gotten to her.

So here she was. In med bay. Barely conscious.

And she still needed a new cook, damn it!

Ruffnut had come barreling through the Med Bay as soon as she found out Mindy was there. Her left arm hung limply and she looked like she had been through a war by herself.

"MIN-" She shouted but was cut off by a short sandy haired nurse who shoved a roll of bandages in her mouth and shushed her. "People are trying to sleep you lunatic!" hissed the underage nurse who pointed to the chair by Mindy's bed in a demanding sort of way.

Ruffnut blinked startled, but went and took her seat obediently. Mostly just shocked that the quiet little girl that Hana had brought to their tower was so much stronger in her element.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy raised her head, slowly, and managed a weak smile, and that smile only broadened when Sandy gave her a good talking to. Really, that girl was all right. Even here she knew there was an order to things.

That, and her head was fucking killing her.

"Yo, Ruff," she said, giving her a nod. "How are you? Looks like you're in one piece, sorta. What happened to your arm?"

[ruffntumblenut]

Ruffnut tried talking but found that the roll of bandages in her mouth made that difficult. She promptly spat it out letting the soggy and now useless item bounce across the floor.

"Tried to catch myself when one of those jerks knocked me off a building. I think it's dislocated." To qualify her theory she picked up the wrist with her good hand and waggled it limply at Mindy. "It's all gross and noodley!" She declared laughing.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy sighed. Leave it to Ruffnut to still come bouncing around all happy when her arm was all fucked up. She looked over at Sandy, giving her an expression that said please help my insane girlfriend. Hopefully she got the message.

"I think the Overlord would call us idiots if he saw us," she said, shaking her head, then wincing. "And Morgan is definitely going to get on my case. I promised him I wasn't going to do anything insane anytime soon."

She shrugged. "But getting a chance to kill a Daligig was too much to miss."

[ruffntumblenut]

Ruffnut grinned wickedly as she listened "What happened? When we got seperated I decided to go look for Hiccup and make sure her was OK but I couldn't find him. So I got cornered on a roof and we fought and I ended up bringing the building down with them." She rambled not giving the story her usual flair and embellishment.

Sandy simply shrugged and came over to inspect the arm.

Applejack was in a bed not too far away, looking miserable. Just how was anything getting done if she couldn't move? They'd said their fancy healing stuff was going okay, that she'd be in shape in a day or two, but that was a day or two too long.

"You hungry? 'Cause I am," Applejack said to no one in particular. There was no life around here.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Are you kidding?" Mindy replied, groaning. "I haven't been hungry up until now, and I could even stand for some of that horrible alien slop. Hell, I might need to soon: food supplies are dying out. I had Diana giving it to people after the attack: figured they'd need something to get their minds off all the shooting and what not."

Ugh. It even hurt to talk.

[appletastic]

Applejack sighed, her head flopping on one of the pillows. These were definitely not meant for ponies, it was so uncomfortable!

"I'd be growing more out there if I could."

[hit_girl_mindy]

"Not your fault," she said, shaking her head. "You can only grow what you got, and believe me, we are all grateful for what you got. Best tasting apples I've ever had, honestly."

She shifted. "You all right?"

[appletastic]

"It's just that waiting to heal up is a real pain," she sighed. "Thanks, though. For saving me. I'd rather be laid up than...well, you know."

[morganknight]

"Someone didn't listen to me," Morgan said wryly, as he stepped in, already tossing his coat onto a nearly rod that probably was meant to hang fluids on.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Hit Girl groaned, managing a smile.

"Oh yeah, kick a girl while she's down, I can take it. So I'm assuming you stayed out of trouble the whole time?"

[morganknight]

"I put a pleasantly solid defense of this very part of the ship, with adequate backup and without exceeding my limits," he said, as he reached into his coat for his acupuncture needle case. "Good thing, too, because if I didn't, there'd be no one around to patch you all up again. As it is, you're not getting a full restoration, I warn you."

[hit_girl_mindy]

"The Overlord will probably see to that, after yelling at me for a good long time," she said, sighing. "You know, I actually only meant to shoot a few Kessek here and there, get the hell out of the way of anything worse. But they went after Orc: you know, Howard's friend, the one that was going to get that punishment. Couldn't just let him get shot like that. So I interfered. Didn't know there'd be a Daligig bastard pointing a gun at me. Bastard popped out of nowhere."

[morganknight]

"What, with all your magic power you don't have a decent way to dodge or deflect bullets?" he said. Hopefully whoever had brought her in had reasonably prepped for a procedure in any case, because as much as he could strip her adequately for acupuncture in a calm and professional manner, he didn't particularly want to.

To be honest, Hana wasn't even aware Mindy was injured enough to be in the Med Bay, so he hadn't come to visit her.

Instead he'd come over to see Sandy while she worked. Well, more accurately, come over to distract Sandy while she worked. So he spent a good half hour following her around, watching her treat patients, cuddling her, picking her up and generally making her blush and flustered.

It wasn't until she finally built up the courage to shoo him away on the insistence that she was trying to work and be proffessional (something Hana apparently had no regard for) that he ended up walking down the line of beds and spotting Mindy.

Grinning, he walked to the bed, waving. "Hiya Mindy!" He said in a voice entirely too loud. Sandy shot him a look and rolled her eyes but forced herself not to respond, it only encouraged him afterall.

[hit_girl_mindy]

"'Sup Hana," she said grinning. "I saw ya following sandy around like a puppy. You guys are cute, even if I almost did throw up a few times, but that could be the whole being beaten to a pulp thing, who knows."

She grunted, flexing her shoulders. "Any good war stories?"

[moms_temperment]

Hana plonked himself down heavily on the edge of her bed. "Heh. She likes it. You can tell by how red her face gets." He stuck his tongue out. "'Sides, you're the same with Ruff. Always teasing her and making her pink."

He ran a hand through his hair casually, smiling. "Got to go on a mission. Pretty cool. Got new powers and stuff. Beat the crap outta alot of people." The emotional turmoil thing wasn't fun but she didn't need to know that part.

Hana looked Mindy over. "I've never seen you hafta come to the Med Bay before, I thought you were like, indestructible. Like Cassandra when she's all rocky."

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy winked. "You better believe I'm the same way. Hell, I'm probably worse. After all that fighting and my ass is laid up here? I gotta get my aggression out somehow. Besides, like I said, its cute. I talked with Sandy before all this shit went down. She's been through a lot. It's good she has you."

She laughed. "One of those. Nice! I got, like, super speed when that tournament shit was over. It's what happens when you have one of those bad ass powers where you can attacking through the ground. Kinda hard to explain now though, and my head's pretty woozy."

She groaned. "I wish I had her powers. Maybe then it wouldn't have hurt as much when those bastards shot me. Good thing I had Big Daddy helping me, or I would have been riddled with holes dude."

[moms_temperment]

"Yeh, but I think if I did to Cassandra what you do to Ruffnut she'd run away." A grin. "Coz, you're scary."

Hana nodded, idly poking the lump in the covers that was Mindy's foot. "It was cool. A bit weird using something different but not bad. Kinda makes you wanna learn more about different powers and stuff."

"Cassandra says it still hurts when she's hurt when she's all stoney, it's just dummed down." He smirked at her. "'Sides, you're supposed to be like, unable to feel pain, aren't you?"

[killervocabulary]

Well, this was certainly an interesting way to be greeted when coming to the medbay to see about helping out. A quick glance around showed no one immediately around, so Ginia approached the girl. "Is there anyone tending to you yet?"

[hit_girl_mindy]

Mindy coughed lightly, her body still smarting even after Morgan's treatment.

"Morgan looked after me, but even he said he couldn't heal everything. So I'm just trying to mend now. Hey, are you new to med bay? Don't think I've seen you before."

[killervocabulary]

Ginia nods at the answer. "I am new to this vessel as a whole - I was sent here, as I was told healers were needed. While not a healer by trade, I do have some skill in use of healing magic. My name is Ginia Rosentia."

[hit_girl_mindy]

Cool. Kinda rhymy too.

"Nice to meet you, Ginia. Got anything to kill pain? Still in a little bit of it: getting shot at will do that to you."

[killervocabulary]

There's another nod. "Aye, it does. You said someone's done what they can, but I can try something and see how it works." One hand raises a bit, and a quick outward flex of her fingers wraps her hand in a flickering gold light.
