Omega19x: *Ryou and Malik are going for a walk!*
ph33r my rod: *w00t*
Omega19x: *at the beach*
ph33r my rod: *aww*
Omega19x: *It's a romantic night. A cool breeze coming off the water. And they're walking along the sand, barefoot, letting the water run over their feet*
Omega19x: "This was such a nice... a nice idea, Malik. Thank you for agreeing to walk with me."
Omega19x: "I... I feel so much better now that... that I don't have to dress as a woman."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "No problem. It's really nice out tonight, so..."
Omega19x: *giggles* "I thought so too.*
Omega19x: *but unbeknownst to them, hidden dangers lurk*
ph33r my rod: *uh oh*
ph33r my rod: (( This isn't something that's going to put them in the hospital again, is it? >><< ))
Omega19x: (... um... would you kill me if it was?)
ph33r my rod: (( ...*dies* ))
Omega19x: (but it's a new and different way to end up at the hospital)
ph33r my rod: (( Is it? ))
Omega19x: (yes.)
Omega19x: (this IS Ryou, you know. It's been a long time since he's been in the hospital!)
Omega19x: (my running gag is starting to walk)
ph33r my rod: (( Good point. Let me rephrase that, then: it's not something that's going to put them in the hospital longer than a day or two, is it? ))
Omega19x: (nah.)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay. XD ))
Omega19x: (like I said, something that will put our main puppets out of commission for the time we're not online.)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay, then. XD Carry on~ ))
Omega19x: (thank you.)
Omega19x: *walk walk walk*
Omega19x: *Ryou hold's Malik's hand tighter*
ph33r my rod: *looks at Ryou*
Omega19x: *looks up at Malik*
Omega19x: *the mood is right, the time is night. And all Malik wants to do is kiss the light.*
Omega19x: (bad poem alert)
ph33r my rod: (( *dies* ))
ph33r my rod: *stops walking and pulls him close*
Omega19x: *As he stops, suddenly, Ryou steps on something*
Omega19x: *eep!*
Omega19x: "Ouch."
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "What was it?"
Omega19x: "... ow... s..something bit me... I... I think..."
Omega19x: *jumps back from the water's edge quickly*
ph33r my rod: "..." *pulls him back and looks down at the ground*
Omega19x: *a snake slithers away, back into the sea*
ph33r my rod: "...looks like it was a snake."
Omega19x: "eep!"
Omega19x: *jumps back again, for good measure*
ph33r my rod: *kneels down in the sand* "Let me see your foot?"
Omega19x: *is hopping on one foot for the time being, and ends up falling backward into the sand, foot right in Malik's view*
ph33r my rod: *gently takes Ryou's foot in his hands, examining it*
Omega19x: *there's a classic bite there*
ph33r my rod: *hiss* "Ouch. It's bleeding a bit... we should probably get back and get all of the sand cleaned out of it."
Omega19x: "... okay..."
ph33r my rod: *lifts Ryou up into his arms and starts walking back toward the house* "Sorry our walk got interrupted."
Omega19x: "... ow..."
Omega19x: "... we'll... have to do it again... another... another time..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Does it hurt a lot?..."
Omega19x: "not too much..."
ph33r my rod: "That's good."
Omega19x: *by the time they get back to the house, it's clearly started to swell up. It hurts a bit more, and is quite tender.*
Omega19x: *but at the same time, it's like the leg is going numb*
ph33r my rod: *sets Ryou down on the couch once they get back inside, looks at the bite now that the light's better* "Ouch, that's looking worse... how does it feel?"
Omega19x: "... n..not good..."
ph33r my rod: "...damn, it might've been a poisonous snake. I'm gonna call Dr. Malouf and see if he knows what to do..." *takes out cellphone*
Omega19x: (magical font color change)
ph33r my rod: *dialdial*
Omega19x: *receives call* "hello?"
ph33r my rod: "Dr. Malouf? It's Malik Ishtar..."
Omega19x: "Is something the matter?"
Omega19x: *he knows what to expect by now.*
ph33r my rod: "Uh, yeah. Ryou was bit by a snake, and the bite looks pretty nasty. I think it might've been poisonous..."
Omega19x: "How long ago?"
ph33r my rod: "Uh... about ten minutes ago, I'd say."
Omega19x: "Get here as soon as you can."
ph33r my rod: "...er, 'kay."
Omega19x: "Try to keep him as calm as possible, so the venom will not spread as quickly. Do you know what kind of snake?"
ph33r my rod: "It was too dark to really tell what it looked like, but I think it came from the water, 'cause we were out on the beach."
Omega19x: "Get him here right now."
Omega19x: *hangs up*
ph33r my rod: *hangs up* "Well, looks like we're headed to the hospital again..."
Omega19x: *is leaning back on the couch, horribly dizzy at the moment*
ph33r my rod: "..." *carefully lifts him up again and heads out to the car*
ph33r my rod: (( Yay Malik gets to drive again~ ))
Omega19x: (*cough* fear makes the venom spread faster, lol. And what's scarier than your driving skills...(
ph33r my rod: *or better yet, gets Isis to drive them*
Omega19x: *heh*
Omega19x: *magical hospitallapse*
ph33r my rod: *whee*
Omega19x: *Ryou is barely responsive, quite tired looking, really*
ph33r my rod: *paging Dr. Malouf*
Omega19x: Nurse: "we have a snakebite patient coming in, sir. Barely responsive. Considerable amount of swelling. Beginning respritory distress."
ph33r my rod: *oh shit*
Omega19x: "I've already heard."
Omega19x: *meets them*
ph33r my rod: *still holding on to Ryou*
Omega19x: "Get me ten vials of antivenom, infusion starting at 20 ml/kg per hour."
Omega19x: "I want that blood pressure stabalized. keep monitoring his breathing."
ph33r my rod: *pseudo-panic*
Omega19x: "If this is a classic sea snake, your worst case scenario is respritory failure. And we don't want that."
ph33r my rod: "Nononono."
Omega19x: *everything is really blurry.*
Omega19x: *by now, Ryou's head is pounding, and everything is getting all jumbled up*
ph33r my rod: "Ryou? You still with us...?"
Omega19x: *blink*
Omega19x: *he's on the verge of passing out*
ph33r my rod: *gently strokes his face, assuming he's been put onto a bed of some sort* "Come on, stay with me, Ryou..."
Omega19x: "Give the antivenom a few minutes to start taking effect, and he should get more responsive. The swelling will go down as well." *they've bandaged the wound, etc.*
ph33r my rod: "..." *nod*
Omega19x: "Bleeding should stop within half an hour."
Omega19x: "His vitals are already starting to stabalize."
ph33r my rod: *sigh of relief*
Omega19x: *turns to the nurse* "I want another five to ten vials of anitvenom ready just in case. With this patient, there's really no telling."
ph33r my rod: *ain't that the truth*
Omega19x: *slow blink*
Omega19x: "... Malik?"
ph33r my rod: "Ryou?" *leans over him*
Omega19x: "let's always walk with shoes on..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Agreed."
Omega19x: "The response to antivenom is always quite dramatic."
Omega19x: "I have seen it bring individuals right out of coma. And to be sitting up and talking in less than five minutes."
ph33r my rod: "...woah."
Omega19x: "... sorry..."
Omega19x: "... should have been... watching where I was going..."
ph33r my rod: *pets his hair* "It's okay... shoulda guessed that something would happen, anyway."
Omega19x: "... and... we...were just about to... to kiss in the moonlight..."
ph33r my rod: "Well, we can try the moonlight thing another time... for now we'll have to settle for the hospital, I guess." *leans down and briefly pecks his lips*
Omega19x: *blush*
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "Better than nothing, huh?"
Omega19x: "After a few hours on the antivenom, we'll move you to another room. We'd like to keep you under observation fora few days, to make sure there are no lingering problems."
Omega19x: *weak nod, to both of them*
Omega19x: *weakly grabs for Malik's hand*
ph33r my rod: *takes it, giving it a gentle squeeze*
Omega19x: *blows him a kiss*
Omega19x: "It is unlikely that there will be any delayed reactions, though it can occur. You are, of course, welcome to stay with him, Mr. Ishtar."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "If you need anything, extra pain medicine, etc. Let one of the nurses know."
Omega19x: *weak nod*
ph33r my rod: (( Will he be out before the queen contest? 'Cause even if he's not participating, they may wanna go cheer Isis on. Or something. XD ))
Omega19x: (he should)
ph33r my rod: (( 'Kay. ))
Omega19x: (though I bet he'd be trying to stay off that foot)
Omega19x: (and probably still quite fatigued from the ordeal)
ph33r my rod: (( Damn, and the aliens still have Malik's crutch. ))
Omega19x: (they're at a hospital. They can just get another)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh yeah. *duh* ))
Omega19x: (and then you'll have a set when the aliens return it)
Omega19x: (oh, and different foot.)
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
Omega19x: (so, left one this time, I believe)
Omega19x: *no mention made about how quickly Ryou is suddenly out of the cast for the broken ankle, the medical records were swallowed up by a plothole.)
ph33r my rod: (( XDDDD ))
Omega19x: *but Ryou is quite tired from the ordeal. And one of the effects of myotoxic venom is a fatigued state. So that doesn't help.*
