[ i think we should blow up the hospital that means no one gets injured
As soon as she stirs, Aventurine reaches for her, lightly placing the tips of his fingers against her arm where there are no bandages. He doesn't apply any pressure to the touch, just a moment of contact as he calls out to her. ]
Aqua...?
[ He looks into those unfamiliar yellow eyes, the tone of his voice obviously concerned. ]
Thank you. I didn't think we'd end up trading places... But I'm grateful you're here.
[ THE TIMING IS. SO FUKKEN FUNNY. I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYONE HAS TOLD HER 4 PEOPLE DIED. ]
I don't mind talking, if you're curious what happened. [ it's much better for her to fill the empty space with company than with silence. ] Though I'd like to know what's been on your mind, too.
It's fine—I know it wasn't real. ...It was a part of someone else's memory, I believe, though I don't think it was an exact recreation.
[ but okay none of this will make sense because aventurine wouldn't have gotten any memshares from the jjks, but: she'll begin to recount to him that they (aqua, gale, hawke) were students of Tokyo Jujutsu High, sent on a mission to escort a young girl who would become the new vessel for Tengen, an immortal sorcerer that maintains the barriers protecting the Jujutsu High locations...
...that mission obviously goes south. the girl ends up losing her life, and turning into a cursed spirit. ]
Aventurine's quiet as he listens, a small frown as some of the details become lost on him, but in the end, it's the same traumatizing conclusion as most others. ]

...Aventurine...?
[ she's pretty sure that is his voice. (it would be so embarrassing if she were wrong... imagine.)
her expression creases. there's a faint note of unease. ]
Do you know how long I was asleep for...? I can't tell if it's dark or light outside...
no subject
... Not for very long. There's still light outside.
[ He's going to pull his hand back for the moment. ]
Do you know where you are?
no subject
That's a relief. It's hard to know how much time's passed like this.
[ ...now she'll reach blindly for his hand. sorry, you just took her by surprise is all. :( ]
...The hospital, right? Karlach and Aerith brought me here, after the spring.
no subject
That's right...
[ Trails off as he studies her for a moment. ]
Your eyesight?
no subject
she holds it!!! her hair color turns a little more normal... bluer now. ]
...It's been gone since I went to the spring.
[ thinking about how she's just stuck like this while some WILD THINGS are happening in the gy ]
It should be fine.
[ but it stresses her out for reasons... ]
no subject
Yeah, they're always temporary. [ He'll give her hand a light squeeze. ] I'll be here if you need anything.
[ Honestly, Aqua, you're so lucky you're stuck here and not watching Lucas massacre a bunch of people. ]
... Or if you just want to talk.

Only if you're comfortable sharing, Aqua.
[ While he'd been able to talk about his own experiences, there had been quite a lot that he'd purposefully left out. ]
And of course, but I'm not sure if I'll have anything interesting to share.

... I'm sorry you couldn't save her.
no subject
[ not that she was aware of reality while in the cyoa...
but anyway, after a pause, ]
I believe Gale and Hawke were able to retrieve some items, at least. A jar with some sort of worm, and a large swatch of what looked to be snake skin.
no subject
He nods his head. The consistency in finding these items is good. Now all they have to wait for are the results. ]
Good work, all of you, though it pains me that you're in this state.
[ Another squeeze to her hand. ]
Hopefully you won't be in here for very long.
