[John never got a reply. Not that it even matters. The minute Dave saw the familiar blue text that was so obviously John, he had booked it to the nurse's office as soon as he can.

Unless John was expecting Dave, he might be surprised to see the door suddenly slam open and an out of breath Dave standing in the door frame. He's still got some injuries from the dungeon, but he looked fine otherwise. The only thing that looked misplacing was he was sporting Sis' anime shades instead of his usual aviators.]

[wakingsavior]

[ John, honestly, has a bit of a headache. Thankfully, he isn't bothered by sound at all, but the light is kinda icky and stupid atm. Still, when Dave bursts in, John glances over at the movement caught out of the corner of his eye, and laughs a little, silently.

He doesn't really understand yet that he's been out long enough to worry people. It's still Saturday, right? ]

<<'Hey, no rush or anything.'>>

[knightime]

<<'Dude. You've been out for an entire week. You missed an entire round. And I didn't rush anyways.'>>

[Okay, so maybe he did. But admitting it would be completely uncool. Which is why he isn't going to admit to it. Even if it's obvious. Shut up.]

<<'Jade totally thought you were going to die at first.'>>

[wakingsavior]

[ John just stares for a moment. ]

<<'A WEEK?'>>

[ there's a long pause, as he processes this. ]

<<'I guess that explains the headache. Is Jade ok? Are--'>>

[ ...wait. ]

<<'Dude, where are your Stiller shades?'>>

[knightime]

<<'Yeah, a week. She's fine though. Pretty much reassured her that you weren't about to die or anything. But seriously, we weren't sure how long you'd be out.'>>

[He hasn't moved from the doorway yet. And he stiffens a bit. For some reason, the fact that John brought it up made him feel terrible. He isn't sure why he feels so terrible about it though.]

<<'They broke.'>>

[overthroen]

among other things, you missed a pirate ship, john.
stay where you are for a minute.

[ It takes more than a minute for Rose to navigate her way to the hospital and find John's room, but eventually, after Dave's left, she does. ]

[wakingsavior]

[ though he's been filled in by the time she gets there, he's clueless when he first gets the text. ]

rose!!!!!!!!
holy shit, you're here!
wait.
how did i miss THAT?
how many hours was i out???

[ he still feels kind of like shit after Dave reassures himself of John's continued existence, so he's still in the relatively comfy bed in the medical ward.

He doesn't notice her come in, though, partially due to the fact that she's not barrelling in like Dave did. ]

[overthroen]

[ There's a chair by John's bed, which Rose finds and eases herself into. Hearing nothing but John's steady breathing from his bed, she sits quietly and waits for him to make the first move. Wouldn't want to wake him if he's asleep. ]

[wakingsavior]

[ He does notice a weird shape out of the corner of his half-closed eyes after she sits down, though, and kind of whips his head around with a start and-- OH! It's Rose!

Uh, sorry, Rose, you're getting a hug with pretty much no warning whatsoever. Oops?]

[greenspaces]

[ She's elbow deep in fresh topsoil, carefully placing it around her new, lovely flowers that grow all around the Prefects' building when she gets a beep on her PDA. Placing the trowel back on the ground, she takes off at a sprint, not even bothering to put her shoes on.

And Jade becomes the third person to visit, and the second one to skid through the door. ]

You're awake!

[ Wham pow HUGS ]

[wakingsavior]

[ And now he's covered in dirt and Jade. He lets out a faint audible laugh, a rare occurrence when it's not startled out of him, and hugs her tightly, typing with one thumb without letting go just yet. ]

you are covered in dirt, jade.
and now i am covered in dirt.
did we get ANOTHER gardening class or something?

[greenspaces]

Sorry I was gardening. [ She pulls away just a little bit and grins. ] I like your laugh! And I moved into a new dorm, it has a bunch of gardens. So I was tending them.

[wakingsavior]

[ John makes a face - nuuuu, his laugh (probably) sounds stupiiiiid. ]

bluh bluh nuh-uh.
though speaking of you hearing my voice, dave thinks i should practice talking with you or rose or somebody.
since i don't exactly have my speech therapist.
and apparently it's cool?
i think he's nuts

...wait, new dorm?
why are you in a new dorm?
and what's with the hat?

[savedbyasong]

I'm glad, Dave was really worried. [Shion will just eventually adopt the lot of them, despite them all being ridiculous amounts more capable than him.]

Are you still in the infirmary?

[wakingsavior]

[ Hey, someone's gotta fuss over them. They're kind of bad at doing it for themselves. ]

You fell into a coma.

[wakingsavior]

[straightupzorra]

Nah, it was probably a spontaneous thing, that happens around here. You get used to it.
