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.

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

[No, she's not offering.]

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]

We'll see.

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

[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.

[capitalbackup]

[That would be the end of this. But idle curiosity keep her from closing the conversation.]

What kind of battles were you in to receive your diagnosis?

[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.

[icanhearscreams]

I killed a lot of people. I mean they were going to die anyway - or we were - but I had to kill them individually.

More people than are in this city, I guarantee that.

[icanhearscreams]

I collapsed on my way back from the bathroom last night. I didn't call a nurse since it's just weird to have someone escort you a few meters to the bathroom.

[hetried]

Well, I can see how that would be pretty awkward...

But if that happens you should still let people know! Otherwise they won't know if you're getting better or not!

[icanhearscreams]

It just makes me look like a stupid wimp though.

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

I don't know that I can trust them.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Don't tell me they've got zombies here too.

[icanhearscreams]

I wouldn't know.

And no, I'm not a zombie. I'm pretty sure, anyway. I'm hungry for a good sandwich, not human flesh.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

You don't sound too traumatized to me, smartass.

I can use the write journal I swear. 8(

[icanhearscreams]

That's what I keep trying to tell them.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

So break out. I doubt they'll hunt you down.

[icanhearscreams]

Yeah I guess.

Might be helpful if I can walk without feeling like I'm gonna fall over first though.

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Look, either you're sick or you're not. Passing out all over the place is sick.

[icanhearscreams]

I don't feel that sick though. Only when I try to walk.

[Or he's just stubborn.]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Chill out, tough guy. Unless you like the idea of being wheeled around here, which'll make you look like even more of a pussy unless you're actually paralyzed.

[icanhearscreams]

Yeah no. I'd rather not.

[hetried]

Does it really? I don't know, I think not asking someone for help is even more stupid...

Not that I'm saying you're stupid or anything!! I mean, I'm just saying...
