Grasshopper 3, The Incident [Narrative]
It'd been a rough few weeks. He'd made a decision to end his relationship with Ignis only to have the man disappear. He had to watch the man depart on platform day and hold his child as she mourned the loss. His other kid, Peter, was a mess with losing May and still not over Gwen leaving- not that he blamed the boy at all. Wei and his son leaving had been hard to watch too.

So, he coped as he always coped- by working. The pressure to find a cure for a boy who deserved to have his life back spurred him on as well. Working closely with Peter and sometimes Conan, he knew they were getting close. With just a little more coffee, a little more bourbon, he was sure they were going to get that breakthrough.

He'd woken up early and returned to his work. In a beaker, he added a chemical compound he'd created over the last few days and watched the reaction. He winced as the reaction kicked up an awful smell. Turning to write some notes, he felt the room start to spin. The coffee cup fell out of his hand and broke on the floor. Coughing, he couldn't catch his breath. Putting a hand to his chest, he felt pain lance through his body stemming from his heart. Just when he hit the floor, he didn't know but the world turned black.

The Rescue [Closed to Kitty, the Doctor, and whoever else she might need (medical people, idk?)]

When Kitty finds him, he's on the floor barely breathing. It's not quite a heart attack but the symptoms are really similar. A few of the coffee cup shards dug into his skin when he fell. He needs help and fast!

Grasshopper 3 (late) and Grasshopper 4, Medical Room [OTA]

He spent the majority of the day asleep. Slowly sometime that evening, Tony woke feeling weak and disoriented. He groaned finding himself in the medical room. That was never a good sign.

[ooc: Feel free to come bug him after he's woken up.]

Comments

Medical room

[dredefulchilde]

There is a very scared and angry-looking child staring at Tony as he wakes up. Joss has been here for hours, watching Tony sleep and swearing up a storm at him for being unwell and making him worry.

“You fucking idiot! What did you do that for?”

Joss’s eyes are red rimmed. Has he been crying?

[runs_on_batteries]

Tony's head was killing him as he stirred. His body ached like he'd fallen out of the sky in his armor. Opening his eyes was a chore and he winced at the words thrown at him. It wasn't necessarily because of what those words were but the volume. He looked over at Joss and gave him a confused frown.

"What did I do what for?" He asked, groggily.

[dredefulchilde]

Joscelin glares at Tony through his tears.

“Whatever you did to get here, idiot. You could have died. And then where would I be?”

He throws his small arms around Tony’s neck, grateful that he seems to be okay.

“I don’t want to be alone again,” he says in a very small voice.

LATE GRASSHOPPER 3

[luckydragonsfoot]

It's been an eventful day for Katsuya, albeit for far more positive reasons than Tony has- after meeting Eva on the first day of the month, it didn't take very long to set up a pokemon battle. It was a bit drawn out, and it was definitely tense, but it was all a good bit of fun. Katsuya is here on recommendation all the same though- just to be safe. Kaseri can heal herself, but even healing takes energy, so it's better to see if anything in medical can be made use of.

He's admittedly been doing a lot of poking around on info-screens. Should he learn CPR? That really hurt to be on the receiving end before! He's still mulling the thought over when he notices his usual leg-leech is wandering off.

"Ah- O-Oi! Oi, Kaseri!" he hisses, stiffening as the pony wanders off toward the sound of a groan. "Kaseri g't back he-"

Too late. Kaseri sets her hooves right up against where Tony's laying down and pokes her head up. "Nhhhy?" There's something strangely calming about the rainbow mini-pony...

"Uhhhhhhh-" Less so regarding the blond Japanese teen who just poked around to try and grab the horse. "Nyyhhhhh...hi?"

Oops.

Re: LATE GRASSHOPPER 3

[runs_on_batteries]

He hadn't moved a whole lot since he woke up. This particular groaning had been because he'd had the bright idea to roll onto his side. With how his head was reeling from it, he was cataloging that under 'bad life choices'.

He heard a noise that didn't make sense in the context of a train. It was like small wooden shoes or..

His eyes widened as a pony- a freaking pony- head popped up over the edge of the bed. It was small, of course, but.. it was a pony. Was this a hallucination? His gaze shifted to the kid trying to sneak in the room. "Hi?" He responded, still not that sure if this was real or not. "You have a horse on the train?"

[luckydragonsfoot]

"Eh? Yeah, uh...she's a ponyta, a pok'mon," the teen answers, scratching his head. "Er...sorry 'f she woke y'? She heals stuff, so maybe she figured she w's needed." It's his best guess, ultimately. It's also his best excuse other than 'my pokemon is a fussy little attention grabber who seeks other people out for head scritches'.

Katsuya pauses, and ultimately asks- "Er...d...do y'...need anythin?"

The pony, impossibly, seems to smile eagerly.

Medbay, sometime day 4

[cannibalartist]

It was only the fourth day here and already things were starting to blur together in a most unfortunate kind of way. He'd taken to drawing in his spare time in the notebook the train provided him, but he knew he was going to either have to get his laptop back, or order a proper sketchbook from the store train. He decided to take a break from his sketching to get a coffee, but slowed when he noticed, out of the corner of his eye, yet another person in the med bay.

He slowed to a stop, leaning in the doorway much like he had with Nita when she was in there. He was a new face, but he was dressed in a black loose fitting long sleeve shirt with a very large neck, a black tank top, some comfortable looking pants, and some high tops. All of his piercings had silver metal in them, his tattooed hands with black fingernails, red irises on black sclera looking Tony over. He had tied all of his hair back, but a section of hair at the front had fallen out of his carefully made knot. Uta crossed his arms as he spoke, a faint bemused expression on his face.

"I arrived on the platform and there was a young woman in here. Three days later, you're here. Is this room often kept warm?"

[runs_on_batteries]

He'd woken that day with more general soreness than the day before. It hadn't been his ideal, but he'd broken down and asked from some pain killers. That meant he wasn't in nearly as grumpy of a mood as he had earlier in the day when he suddenly discovered a visitor in his room.

He offered a slight attempt at a smile. "With the amount of idiots on this train? Yes, very."

Medical Coach, late Grasshopper 3

[so_dark_a_road]

Curufin was spending a lot of time zigzagging back and forth between the Quiet Carraige, the kitchen, and the Medical Carriage, between his own projects and looking after Xue Yang. So, as he was passing Tony's office he saw Tony being carried out and taken to the Med Bay. He tried to follow but got kicked out, since he was not a healer and didn't have much of anything to contribute in this current situation.

But that didn't stop him from showing up later. He came to Tony's bedside and saw that he was conscious -- sort of.

"Tony? You awake?" he asked, his concern obvious in his voice and in his eyes.

[runs_on_batteries]

He looked up and gave a weak smile as his friend came in to join him. He was in pain and his mind a bit hazy still, but he was glad to see the elf.

"Hey. What's a good looking elf like you doing in a place like this?" He joked.

The Rescue (with permission) - For Kitty and co

[wizard_redfive]

Dairine had been passing through the carriage, tense as always since she knew a certain someone had a lab set up there. Alert and on guard, the wizard almost jumps when she notices movement out of the corner of one eye. She whirls around, glaring and... oh. It was just some curtains.

Quietly, she mutters under her breath words that would get her a stern talking to from her dad. What's she doing—getting freaked out by curtains?! Who even opened them?!

...Actually who had opened them? Dairine couldn't see anyone her vantage point. She stares, wondering if she should keep walking or investigate.

[goingthroughaphase]

Kitty had been reading in one of the last available quiet rooms, and was actually on her way of leaving the carriage when she'd also caught movement from the corner of her eye. Pausing a moment, she then approached a bit more slowly.

"Hello?" she called. "Is someone there?" She knew the rooms were soundproof, but maybe the movement she saw had been from someone else walking around?

Medical - Grasshopper 4, late

[sensitiveapple]

There'd been quite the commotion about Mr. Stark being injured. People don't like it when leaders turn out to be just human.

She can't sleep again. The nightmares have woken her twice now. So, she gives up. She gives up and wanders down the train until she gets to Medical. She'd been hoping to speak to Wen Qing about something to help her sleep. She doesn't want to, but she needs to sleep at some point.

But she follows her gut feeling to where she feels someone that needs her help. Maybe Wen Qing is in there? She taps softly at the door. "May I come in?" She asks, poking her head around the door.

Re: Medical - Grasshopper 4, late

[runs_on_batteries]

Tony had been dosing off and on all day and yet he still didn't feel any more refreshed than he had when he woke up this morning. It was annoying that he hadn't bounced back in a day and been able to go back to work like he had been doing. It left him far too much time to think

Fortunately before he could sink into something too deep and depressing, he heard a knock and a soft voice. He rose his eyebrows in surprise seeing who it was, but then gave her a small smile. "Sure, Misa. Are you okay?"

Medical carriage

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel heard Tony groan as he woke. He looked up from where he was sitting reading one of his two new books, "Technology 101."

"Awake at last. Be glad, Curufin kept talking about giving you the sleeping beauty treatment, though there was then some discussion about if it would be better to use one of the actual princes, or if a king would be better. We have enough on board," Glorfindel said. He himself was extending his healing aura over Tony to help the bits the doctors did work better.

"Trying for your mad scientist badge, were you?"

[ooc: Curufin wasn't and isn't, but Glorfindel is claiming he did because he feels Tony could use a laugh. Curufin-mun has no clue that Glorfindel is claiming such things either.]

Re: Medical carriage

[runs_on_batteries]

Tony blinked awake as he started hearing a familiar voice talking to him. He ached everywhere, especially his head and chest. For a moment, he wondered if there was something wrong with the arc reactor. However, one touch to his chest and he was reminded he'd removed that awful thing. Something was sedating the pain enough for him to wake though.

He smirked at the king bit. There were a few people on board he'd be happy to kiss, most of them elves. Although he was pretty sure Feanor would murder him if he actually kissed his wife besides the peck on the cheek he currently could get away with. "We should still test that theory. Send in the kings and kisses." His laugh was weak, but an attempt was made.

The other question had him frowning and straining to remember. "I don't know. I don't know why I'm here."

literally the middle of the night

[knifewithnoname]

She had been aware of the commotion, she had heard on the rumour mill that mister Stark had collapsed. She remembers how injured he had been when they had first arrived. Since then he had been on many missions and been teaching and training and generally being busy.

She hadn't really thought about it, because they had all been busy, it had been half a year since they had arrived and it had been a crazy time. So she had assumed he was better and continued with life.

But it turned out he was ill? He had collapsed?

She had stayed away during the day but when she woke late and night she made her way to the medical bay, sneaking in quietly, as to not wake him.

She just wants to check he really is still alive.

Medical Room

[callmegladio]

Rather than go running to Tony's side, once Madoka explained what had happened, he took her by the hand and they went to the kitchen. It was a simple distraction to try and cheer her up, so they went and made muffins. Nice, healthy muffins for the sick Tony.

They had a nice little plate of them, muffins full of oaty goodness. Madoka carried some nice, wholesome juice.

Gladio gave her a reassuring grin as he knocked on the door of the medical room before pushing it open and stepping inside.

"The gravevine says there's someone sick in here who should've known better. Since it's the nurses day off, you've got us. And no, we're not dressing the part." Gladio called as he stepped inside with Madoka bringing up the rear.

[happyends]

A distraction really is what Madoka needed right now. Sure, it's not like making the cupcakes has fully taken away her worry or anything - she's still full on fussing over her dad. But at least being away for it for a moment has allowed her to keep herself from getting so worried that she'd just be making herself miserable over it.

It's why she definitely still looks a little meek as she's trailing after Gladio like a little duckling with the juice in her hands.

"You can have something to eat and drink, right, dad..?"

forward dated to day 5

[happyends]

Madoka may have spent quite some time hovering near her dad already while he's stuck in the medical carriage, but when the holoscreen for the mission pops up on the fifth day, he's once again the first thing on her mind as she only now realises that right, they were due for a mission soon.. Even though this is possibly the worst possible timing with the condition Tony is in.

So Madoka quickly makes her way through the train, passing by crowds of people discussing the mission and what team to go with, running all the way until she reaches the medical room again.

"D.. Dad! Did you see..? There's a mission starting soon.." Surely he wasn't in any state to actually go along on a mission already, right?

Re: forward dated to day 5

[runs_on_batteries]

He was feeling better but still not great. His energy was stubbornly not returning nearly as fast as he would've liked. The announcement of the mission had been particularly unpleasant. He wanted to go- felt he should- but knew he couldn't. He'd be a liability on any of the teams.

He was sitting up and sipping on tea (ugh, he missed his coffee already) when a poof of pink hair went racing by the glass window. With a smirk, he followed those cute pigtails until he could see Madoka underneath as she came into the medical room. He set the mug down so he could hold his hands out to her. He went to pull her up onto the bed but found he didn't have the strength to do it- at least not fully without her momentum to help.

"Yes, I saw, baby girl. How are you feeling about it?"

Grasshopper 3 - Medical Room

[madcuriosity]

Alice had been brought into the medical room over her fatigue and hallucinations earlier that day. She had been completely wiped out when Tony had been brought in. When she had finally woken up, it was late, and well into the day. She padded over to Tony, sitting next to him and taking his hand into hers.

She idly compared the size of her hand to his her fingers barely meeting the top of his palm. When he stirred, she stood up and poured him a glass of water.

"Mr. Stark?"

Re: Grasshopper 3 - Medical Room

[runs_on_batteries]

Tony stirred when he felt something touch his hand. Blinking, he saw a blurry shape and at first didn't recognize where he was. After a few seconds, his vision cleared and he could recall what was going on.

"Alice? Hey. Are you okay?"

Grasshopper 4

[thiefmaster]

Zidane had heard the whispers of Tony being in the medical room, the leader of the council no doubt. He had been wanting to introduce himself, it's just his way of doing so with each new area. Besides, the more friends the better.

He walks into the room and folds his arms across his chest.

"Hey, you're awake," As soon as Tony is awake. "The heck happened to you?"

The he links his hands behind his head. "Zidane's my name."

Re: Grasshopper 4

[runs_on_batteries]

Tony had been awake but thoroughly bored from being cooped up in bed all day. Stupid Doctor's orders! His gaze shifted from the spot on the wall he'd been glaring at to the stranger coming in his room but it continued the sour look.

He opened his mouth to challenge the boy about his audacity to ask that question when he at least got a name. He sighed heavily. "Oh you know, seemed like a fun way to pass the time." He couldn't contain all of his sarcasm, even if it was to some new kid who probably didn't know any better.
