I guess I'm new here. This place is really weird. It doesn't make sense.

It's Ushiro, by the way, if any of the others are here.

Hospital food sucks. They told me I needed to get my strength up by eating, but how are you supposed to eat when everything tastes like cardboard?

Also 'combat fatigue' is a stupid sounding diagnosis. It just sounds like you took a nap during a battle.

[She would pass over this post, but Miyako have some free time.

Beside, it's that time again for new arrivals. And reading the term "combat fatigue" caught her interest.]

You simply just eat your food. If you wish to eat food that fit your tastes, you can have them after you're discharged from the hospital.

[Deal with the hospital food, Ushiro.]

The alternative name for "combat fatigue" is "combat stress reaction". Would you prefer being told that as your diagnosis?

[icanhearscreams]

It's boring in here though. They keep telling me I need to rest but I'm not that tired.

And it'd make more sense.

[capitalbackup]

Just ask for a book. Food, if you find a person to sneak it in, unless the nurses give approval.

I don't mind either term. Combat fatigue is simply more common.

[icanhearscreams]

I don't know anyone here though.

[capitalbackup]

One of the Visitors might bring it for you if you ask.

[No, she's not offering.]

[icanhearscreams]

We'll see.

[At least he's aware of his own... prickliness.]

[greyerrant]

Would you prefer the old term shellshock?

[icanhearscreams]

It sounds less stupid.

[greyerrant]

It is also somewhat inaccurate.

[icanhearscreams]

Why?

Ask somebody who has free time and get food from them.

I don't know anyone here.

I think.

[leadthebeats]

You could always ask. Most people here aren't half bad.

I don't know that I can trust them.

You can choose not to, if you want. I don't care either way. But if you're going to get what you want, then you better start making friends.

'Combat?' How old are you anyway? You sound like a kid.

[icanhearscreams]

I'm 13. I'm not a kid anymore.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Still qualifies as a child soldier, I'd say.

[icanhearscreams]

None of us who piloted were soldiers. One pilot was ten.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Okay, we didn't get our hands on the cars yet, never mind the jet, and we were 18. What kind of fucked up world are you from?

Combat fatigue is a serious problem! It can result from a lot of problematic...uh, problems, and if you're not careful it could be a precursor to PTSD. (´Д｀。)
Not to mention if you don't take a rest, the increased adrenaline can do a lot of damage.
Then again hospital food is pretty gross if you ask me...
But at least it has nutrients?

[icanhearscreams]

[After a moment to remember what PTSD is... okay, he's laughing a bit to himself. It might be a little late for that.]

I'm not that tired anymore. I'm just bored.

[He doesn't want to sleep. He'll just dream about it again.]

[hetried]

I guess, but it's always good to rest just in case? Prevention and all that?

I can't deny that hospitals are pretty boring though. Don't you have any games or books or anything? The hospital staff isn't THAT uptight.

[At least, not whenever he's hanging around.]

[icanhearscreams]

I guess. I don't have anywhere else to go.

I think they're afraid I'm going to collapse again if I get out of bed.

[hetried]

Must have a bad history with it?

Sorry, I'm not really that good with long term sort of things. But it is important to rest a while if you've been fainting and stuff. I swing by the hospital a lot, so if want me to bring anything for you, I can.
