... Well, I sure feel painful. I'm also in a hospital. Domino hospital.

Guess I should've seen that coming.

[Event]

*As Shinji said, he's in the hospital, confined to his bed. He seems a little out of it, if you go and see him, but that's understandable. He looks like some giant creature went ahead and stepped on him repeatedly.

At the current moment, he's staring up at the ceiling, thinking. Worrying. ... Perhaps expecting something.*

What the hell happened.

[seaandsky]

Um.

Big monster in the park stepped on me.

[cuterthancute]

...

How are you alive.

[seaandsky]

That actually is a really good question.

[cuterthancute]

Maybe you died and you just came back as a Lich?

[seaandsky]

I think the doctor would be far more concerned about me, then.

I can assure you that I have a pulse and everything.

[cuterthancute]

... No clue then, and that has me really worried as well. Because while I'm happy you're alive, surviving death like that is not a good sign, typically.

[seaandsky]

Right now I'm really just counting my fortune, there.

... I did lose my glasses, though. It's a good thing I can see a little bit when things are up close, but I'll need to get a new pair. That's going to be... Fun, to explain to my parents.

[cuterthancute]

"I dropped them and someone stepped on them while I was trying to get them".

[seaandsky]

I don't think that'll work as well, since they already will know I'm in the hospital, by now. Doctor said they'd be contacted.

[cuterthancute]

"I got hit by a truck."

[seaandsky]

... I think they'd definitely be wondering why more things aren't broken.

*Ruka has come to visit him at the hospital! She peeks around the door to his room and smiles when she sees you're awake before entering.*

I'm glad to see you're awake.

[seaandsky]

Ah-- hello, Ruka.

*looks at her instead of the ceiling at least. You note that his glasses are off-- he must've lost them at some point during the whole incident, perhaps.*

[voicesofspirits]

*People always look so different without glasses.
She walks over to his bed and sits down. As she does, she takes a bag of cookies out of her bag and holds them over to him.*

I baked them last night. They're from me and Juudai.

[seaandsky]

*...! he smiles, taking the bag. it's actually almost surprising that neither of his arms seem to be broken or anything. or his legs, after he was. stepped on, evidently.*

Thank you. I really appreciate it, Ruka.

[seaandsky]

*... he then looks down a little*

... I must've worried you, though.

[voicesofspirits]

*She gives him a solemn smile.*

Yes, but I'm glad that it looks like you're going to be okay.

Did you find the card I left with you? The one you dropped?

[seaandsky]

*he nods, and pulls it out from a pocket. yep, it's the one.*

... I guess you've already taken a look at it, huh.

[voicesofspirits]

*She nods*

I'm guessing that was what you were going to show me before we were interrupted. I guess you ended up showing me a bit more than intended though...

...do you remember what happened?

[seaandsky]

Um... *he thinks, sorting things out in his head.*

Yeah, I remember. I was... Distracting the creature. I had managed to for a bit, but... Someone was giving it orders. A girl that was at the top of the creature's head.

I managed to shoot her down with a fireball, using Laval Forest Sprite's power, but when I went to check and see who it was, there was this odd... Talking book with arms and legs there, berating her while she was unconscious. They deflected my attempt to attack and went to give orders to the creature instead.

After that... I guess I must've angered the creature too much, cause it managed to snap free of that harness, and crushed me. And then...

*he looks down at the card*

I never really... Had wanted to risk bonding with it.

[voicesofspirits]

Doing so probably saved your life. Though I can understand your hesitance to do so. It's incredibly high level and with a divine attribute... that puts it on par with the Egyptian God cards.

*She looks at him curiously.*

You said this card was created from you after a surge in your powers, right?

[seaandsky]

I know. Doing it was probably the only reason why I'm not in a worse state, right now.

*... he nods slightly.*

Yes. It... Appeared from me, immediately following the power surge.

[voicesofspirits]

...and it's related to those dreams you've been having, right?

[seaandsky]

*nods*

The library. It's a part of them. The name "Akashia"... It's named for the "Akashic records". A compendium of mystical knowledge. In some interpretations of the Akashic records, it's a place where all human thoughts and actions are compiled, from the past to the present.

I'm very certain... They've been trying to reach out to me, through the dreams. Because I wouldn't take any risks with them. Because I wouldn't accept whatever it may grant me.
