Heart Soldier Senshi

[ The elevator opens up to a room spacious enough to house the whole unit comfortably, but with no furniture to speak of except a touchscreen podium near the far wall, displaying a row of four larger-than-life mahjong tiles on a red background. On the left side of the screen is a square that says TRADE. The walls and floor of the room are nearly checkered with metal panels, out of place against the rest of the marble flooring and unremarkable off-white walls.

The elevator doors close behind you. ]

[Immediately yanks his hand back.]

Sorry, sorry - oh, god, don't -

[Wait. WAIT, he has something for this. Going to fumble out the bottle of aspirin he got for his arm and wrench it open with shaking hands, handing over some pills.]

Here, take - take a couple of these.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ oh my god. bless hurricane. ]

You have medicine?

[ she's never seen medicine like this before but you know what, fine, sure, she'll take them. with shaky bloody fingers she takes a few of the pills and pops them in her mouth. PLEASE TELL HER TO SWALLOW THEM or she might just wait for them to dissolve. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

I got it for my arm. It'll help with the pain.

[He waits a beat. Then:]

You gotta swallow them.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Trying to swallow. IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER WITH WATER. but. she does manage to, before it all becomes bitter nastiness melting on her tongue. ] How long does it take to work?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Like fifteen minutes, I think.

[Going to give her hand a squeeze.]

Hang in there, okay?

[dragonheartedgirl]

It's not so bad. [ That is a terrible, terrible lie, why did she even bother. She's still going to smile, albeit regretfully. ] I just wish we could do something for Cable.

[crossmyheartandhope]

He got some down. Took some doing, but better than not having em, right?
