END OF ARC 1: DAY 173 DOWNTIME

[asgardmods]

[Two days of battle have been harsh. The hospital and the Arena are both nearing full, and the smell of charred wood still remains from the few buildings set on fire in Freya district by a dragon on Day 168. Nothing is truly quiet, but this is another welcome break in the violence.

The only question is: how many more cycles can we survive? Though we did well yesterday, it's clear that we'll be wiped out soon if nothing changes.]


[ooc note: this is the catch-all log for Day 173 (Nov 12-13). There is no battle, but there are a lot of general npc wounded of all different species (some of which are outlined here). You can find the battle log for Days 171-172 here, and the shelter log here.

[Sure, a small amount of the pain had subsided, but Hinata found himself too worried about Ritsu's flighty personality to say anything about it.]

Y-yeah..! Do they have omelet rice, Otonashi-kun..?

[Phew, subject change! Maybe Ritsu might relax... or not.]

What!? [He stands up abruptly, waving his uninjured arm.] No! Why don't you stay and eat with us!? Hahahaha!! [Hinata was visibly trying way too hard.]

[trainwrecking]

I... I invited you! [Then, to Hinata:] I don't know, they might have omelet rice..?

[What a mess. He bashed his head into the wall, let his shoulders sag, and just stood there. Otonashi just wanted to help someone, to have a drink, maybe to have lunch.]

Uh... maybe I should apologize.

[trouser_chimp]

[And now Otonashi's gone and hurt himself.]

Eeeek! Otonashi-san! You're hurt! What a terrible trip you had!

[... y-yeah ritsu thinks you tripped. sigh. he holds out his hands, trying to heal him.]

[frequent_flyer]

O-Otonashi, why are you hitting your head into the wall? [Hinata. Not helpful.]

Eh... What would everyone like to eat? I'll go get it! [He was trying to salvage the situation, even if his arm was in a sling and he couldn't feasibly carry three lunch trays, let alone one.]

[trainwrecking]

Ah... terrible trip...? [Sure... he could go with that.]

I'm not hitting my head. I tripped. And got h― [Wait a minute. THAT'S IT.]

I tripped and am suffering great trauma! I can't bear the pain! It's a good thing we had a healer here to save the day! Ahh~! I'll go get the meals because I am well again! [Good job, Yuzuru. Make a total idiot out of yourself for other people's sake.] No, Hideki! I will do it! [And... he's off to the races to get whatever meal he can scrape together!]

[trouser_chimp]

Eh? Ehhh? Trauma?! Shouldn't we get a better Healer?! Otonashi-san?!

[But the boy has already raced off. Ritsu is tired after two straight healings, so he leans against the wall, but he looks a little satisfied.]

What a strong and durable boy. You're so blessed to be his friend.

[frequent_flyer]

[Hinata could easily enough see through Otonashi's ruse, but figured it would be a poor idea to mention out-loud that he knew it had been an act.]

[...Durable?]

Ah... Yeah! He sure is durable..! [Ritsu what are you even talking about. Hinata awkwardly fiddles with the fabric of his sling.]

You... you're his friend too, right?

[trainwrecking]

[Well. That was... interesting. Otonashi gently shouldered through some of the crowds, only stopping occasionally to ask about an injury.

No omelet rice, it looked like... but they had gloriously (haha no) powdered eggs and average sushi rice. Sandwiches, canned soups, hot chocolate... Candy bars? He can only assume it's for blood sugar. Okay, so those eggs, rice, three bars of candy, a small bowl of cold soup, some pita chips... and two things of hot chocolate. All one the one tray he could find.

Sounds like the lunch of champions, right? He slowly started making his way back.]
