Open RP in the Hospital wing.

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes moved back and forth between patients, adjusting various patients and giving them their medications. Esme was gone, and she had chosen the worst possible time to do so. With a series of bizarre accidents, the Wing had recieved an influx of patients. She cast a sorrowful glance towards the drawn curtains of the private ward, trying to figure out a cure. Too many things had happened lately that Agnes had no control over. At least the Glory thing was over she thought miserably. She had sorted the beds out, but was painfully aware of the several students still in her care. She couldn't do anything to save that poor girl. Nothing. She heaved an aggravated sigh and went back to doing all of her chores.

Jack winced slightly as he picked up JD and finally felt the pain in his hand where he'd tried to pick up the pieces of the shattered photo frame, that JD had bandaged for him. "I told you. I warned you." Jack said as he carried JD. "You didn't listen." Jack made it sound like it was JD's fault. "I'm an idiot." Just like they said.

He entered the hospital wing.

"Help."

Agnes' head snapped up and saw the man enter with a student over his shoulders. She rushed over, conjuring a stretcher. "What happened?" she asked as she neared them.

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

"He fell..." Jack moved to put JD down, with another wince as he caught his hand again. "Down stairs."

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes manouvered the boy onto the stretcher and began heading to one of the beds. "What's his name? Has he been taking any potions?" she asked quickly, trying to assess the damage.

"JD. No. We were fighting." Jack put his hands into his pockets.

There was one thing at this moment Sarah knew almost completely for certain - she should not be doing this. She had no concept of River's condition, no idea - even now - of River's abilities and no way to defend herself. Yet... she had to see her, or meet her, or at least get a glimpse of her. She both did and did not want to do this, but the impulse that had brought her this far had not yet quieted.

Quietly, she moved into the hospital wing, dark hair done up under in a subdued-colored kerchief, the intention to make her less recognizable as she was nearly certain Stephen would be aware of anyone who tried to go near River. She looked around, no idea who she was really looking for beyond a woman, but another person's form caught her eye and she moved to that bed, momentarily distracted. She knew this person.... JD, from the pizza party, who was friends with the two time travelers and had a boyfriend named Jack. What had happened to him?

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes brushed past,noting the woman. She stopped and approached her, wondering how to tell her the bad news. "Are you two..involved?" she asked surprisingly politely.

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

Sarah looked from JD's prone form to the woman, faltering for a moment in surprise at the question. "Involved?" she asked and shook her head. "No, just... a friend. Can you tell me what happened to him?"

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

She snorted derisively. "The other man didn't tell me much. Said the boy fell." she looked into Sarah's face. "You don't know anything about this, do you?"

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

"No, not at all! I didn't even know he was here," Sarah said immediately, unaware she had just given herself away. She looked to JD and then again to the woman. "Is he sleeping now?"

Dr. Hutchison stepped into the Hospital wing, a grin on her face and her tail twitching.

"'scuse me!" she chirped brightly.

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes walked away from JD's bed briskly, and drew the curtains. She quickly took in the callers appearance and came over. "What?" she snapped.

[perkydoc.livejournal.com]

"Hi, I'm Dr. Hutchison. I'm here to help out."

The cat smiled brightly.

"Anything I can do?"

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes just stood there, speechless. After several moments, she managed to hiss out "You're here to...help?" she took a deep breath. "And how would you do that?" she looked at him stonily.

[perkydoc.livejournal.com]

((She, actually. Sorry for the reply delay. I didn't get a notification for this for some reason.))

"I'm a doctor, ma'am. I help people," she giggled, rather oblivious to the woman's ire. "I figure a hospital wing is where I'd be of most use, 'kay?"

At the word "'kay", she twisted her head 90 degrees to the left with a loud crunching sound.

Much later, after Sarah, Dr Hutchison, and other visitors had already been and gone, Dr Maturin came to the hospital wing. He wanted to talk to Mistress Nutter, and he wanted to check on River. He hoped she had settled in with relatively little upset -- not that she would have shown much outward sign either way, if her recent state was any indication, but he was highly aware of her aversion to hospital-like and laboratory-like settings after what the Alliance had put her through, and he wanted to ensure that the private room he and Agnes had discussed was enough like a normal room and dissimilar enough from a hospital ambience that River would not be frightened (if she were cognisant of her surroundings at all, or became so).

Coming into the main room, he saw JD and was extremely surprised. Agnes was busy with something he could not see, and he waited for her to become aware of his presence, not wanting to speak loudly.

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes bundled the rest of the medicines into the cabinet and turned around. "Oh? Professor Maturin!" she took a deep breath, hoping that he didn't realise that he'd caught her off guard. "Ms Tam is just in the private ward over here." she said, pointing further up the wing, to one of several side doors. "Would you like me to take you to her?" she asked politely.

[estebanmd.livejournal.com]

Stephen nodded. "First, though, may I inquire about that young man?" He indicated JD. "He is the former protege of a colleague of mine. I do hope he is not taken very ill?"

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes looked over at JD and frowned a little. "Do you knowe his name? All I knowe is 'JD'." she moved over to the bedside. "The poor dear was in a fight, the young man said that he fell downe the stairs. I don't knowe if he fell or was pushed, but whichever, the damage was severe." she quickly rechecked all of his stats, and turned around again. "He's in a coma." she said solemly.

[estebanmd.livejournal.com]

Stephen did not move to examine JD; Agnes had not asked him for a second opinion, and he did not want to cast aspersions on her professionalism. "I know his name, yes. He is Dr John Dorian, and in fact he is a student in my Potions class." The extent to which Stephen thought of JD as Cox's boyfriend protege was made apparent by his thinking of that connection before the much more immediate professor-student relationship. "With your permission I should like to contact my colleague and inform him of Dr Dorian's condition."

After all the other people had been and gone Jack appeared back, not really sure for a moment before he decided to hell with it and went directly to JD's side, sat down next to the bed before resting his head next to JD's and just waited.

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes walked into the enclosed bed, drawing back the curtains. She gasped, shocked to find Jack there, but held on tight to the potion-drip she help. "Just what do you think that you're doing here?" she asked.

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

"Can't leave him, my fault." Jack looked up rather pathetically. "He was only trying to help me... should have told him something long before now." Jack blinked at JD and held his hand.

[nannynutter.livejournal.com]

Agnes scowled. "I think that it's high time that you told me what happened to him, dear." she said. "How did he get this hurt?"

[twoyearsmissing.livejournal.com]

"I got a letter, friend's dead." Still didn't sound real saying that for him. "JD was trying to help, I couldn't stop... I wanted them all to hate me so I could just dissappear, it wasn't me. I watched myself, couldn't stop it. I was stupid just as they told me." He lifted his bandaged hand up to show her. "I knocked over a photo I didn't even feel it til he fell..." He looked back to JD. "He found something, I was aruging with him on the stairs, he forgot the one that vanished..." Jack looked like he might cry. "He fell."
