medical/self-care live!

Who: some cute nurses & you
Where: the lobby + wherever if you want a housecall
When: day 131, noon

[ hope everyone is resting well! or maybe keeping busy, as one does after horrible trauma. some sensitIVs are doing just that - actually, it's been a while since lucifel's called a live, hasn't it? but he's in the lobby in a nurse outfit, with nya, and possibly a few other sensitIVs who may or may not have been roped into wearing nurse outfits. it's mystery ]

Ahhh . . . Uhm, good morning, everyone -

[ somewhat nervously, or maybe self-conscious, ]

It's been a while, hasn't it? Not for any good reason either, but - in any case, we thought it would be good to have something like this again . . . that is -

Hello! This is a medical checkup Live, since we've had a rough couple of days. Uhm, if you would like to get a checkup, we'll be here in the lobby! Even if you don't feel it's necessary, we've arranged to have some comforts here, if you'd like to stop by for some self-care, instead!

[ camera swivel to the lobby which has a bunch of dakimakuras (stripped of their covers so you're not looking at lewds) and blankets, some of them raised up like someone's taken boxes to make them into tables and put a blanket over it so it looks nicer. on them are a few kettles and teapots, mismatched like someone gathered pretty much every tea dispenser he could. there are also a few trays of sweets - desserts from the café, as well as fruits to be cut up, as well as like, ice cream and Japanese snacks like purin and senbei. there is probably literally a boxtable that is entirely just mandarin oranges. ]

. . . Uhm . . .

[ with the camera back to lucifel, who looks somewhat conflicted - though overall grateful, ]

Speaking personally for a moment - it was really comforting to have people by my side, yesterday - so thank you . . . Even though I was a mess who couldn't stop crying . . .

. . . And - in the end, it made me feel a lot better, and I understood just then that crying can bring great relief! So - uhm, if you need a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen to your troubles, or a lap to rest your head on, or someone to hug or wrestle to get rid of stress - well, I don't know if we're all able to do that here but we'll do our best to help you how we can!

[ and he gives an earnest smile, there ]

I'm still - uhm, learning . . . quite a lot of things, so this is the best I could think of for "self care", but if you have an idea for the future, I'd be most grateful to know it!

[ then, a beat ]

Ahh, but it's understandable that you might not want to relax around some people, so - well - for this reason, we decided against visiting every dorm like we did before, but -

If you'd like one of us to make a housecall to your dorm instead, then please send a text to your preferred healer on duty, and we'll be on the way! If you really can't tolerate any of us, then . . . well, it would be best to get as many points as you can, since this last game was really bad for scars, but - well, in any case, we'll do our best to stay out of your way, so please let us know in advance as well, or otherwise spend some time outside of the lobby, please! We've made a border -

[ with a gesture to the line of pillows where all dakimakura and blanket and foodnonsense stops ]

- for you to have a clear walkway, so please bear with our intrusion for the next couple of hours!

[ cheerily. ok lucifel signing off ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Mmm? I only remember the contents of the poems -

[ which is to say he doesn't actually need to read a book, even ]

- but if I know of them this well, then I must like this poet, I'm sure . . . ? Perhaps, it's simply that this poet has stirred my heart.

In any case, this person is the only poet I know, and I don't really read other things besides studying, like I said . . .

Then that's why I want to hear it. It's something you like that's important to you, so I'll listen to you instead of reading! If we're together, then whether we're humans or not, that's something we can do, right?

. . . Mm. It sounds fun.

Then, the library's a bit far, so we should go quickly.

[ leans in a bit to kiss at his cheek, briefly ]

Okay! Let's go.

[ kiss! ok they go to the train station

innocent train station ]

[ chaste train station

she waits on him to get on first once the train comes, just trailing behind a bit, still holding his hand ]

[ stepping forward then, tugging her in ]

What do you like to read, by the way?

Me...?

[ settling down where she can get a clear view of the window ]

Well, I study a lot too, but I think... um, I don't remember very much about poetry, but I think I read novels sometimes. Do you like Jules Verne?

. . .

I do not know this author . . .

[ ( o_o) am i about to learn how much of a dumb bitch i am ]

He's really wonderful!

I'll read you one of his novels, and you can read me Yeats's poems! Um -

[ ummm ]

What kind of story do you want to read...? One about people traveling the circumference of Earth, or going to the moon, or deep in the ocean...?

[ >moon
>ocean

]

Perhaps -

Goodness, they're all exciting. The first, since you listed it first, then.

Okay! It's really interesting! Um - first the protagonist takes a bet for half of his fortune that he'll be able to make it from his city, around the world, and then back, within eighty days, so he goes with his valet, but after they start he gets mistaken for a robber, so while they're travelling they have to evade a detective that's following them, too...!

Edited (elude is too big a word for dia to be using right now.) 2019-06-27 08:04 (UTC)

My! Then, it was written at a time when eighty days was impossible to travel the world in - ?

This person's life is rather thrilling, but why does he make the bet?

[ shifting her weight in the seat to rest her head at his shoulder, cuddling ]

Well, he was talking about an article he read that said it'd be possible with a new railway that just finished being made, but then he got into an argument, so he wanted to prove them wrong, I think...?

[ cuddle. Leaning to her too, and reflecting in this for a moment ]

So he traveled by train? How did he cross the ocean?

Edited 2019-06-27 08:29 (UTC)

[ nuzzling at him idly, reaching for his hand - practically melting on him at this point save for the fact that she's still talking ]

When they had to go over water, they used boats, and then on land they used trains! There was another story he wrote where a man traveled across a continent with a giant balloon, but they didn't do that here.

[ we are melted now ]

Oh - oh, my! Balloon . . . That does sound fun, though! All of that, I mean!

So I'll read it to you, and then you can read poetry to me!

That sounds wonderful! Ah -

[ with a pause ]

I want to make sure I'm back to my own Live in a little bit, so for now, perhaps a chapter or a few poems - ? We can save the rest for another date.

Date...

... Oh, are we on a date?

. . . Are we on a date?

Oh, did you mean another day...?

. . . I meant it in both senses of the word . . . ?

We're on a date!!!

[ cuddling closer, excited, oozing over into his lap ]

. . . Ehehe.

[ leaning in to kiss her forehead ]

Isn't a date just spending time with each other?
