[Event]

[weavethebonds]

Susan is finally awake, and in her hospital bed. Sort of. Because most of her is actually lifted off the bed, considering both her legs are in casts and in large sling, as is her left arm.

She does look incredibly depressed. A bit sleepy too, but that's probably because she's mashing the 'pain' button on her hospital clicker every fifteen seconds.

"I don't know. It's gonna be different." [She takes in a breath.]

"...I wish we could've gotten a chance to duel."

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"..I'd have liked that."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"Yeah..."

"...did the doctors talk to you about rehabilitation yet?"

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"I have a month before my arm comes out of a sling. Then two months before the casts come off even with oxygen therapy, then I have to use a walker until my legs get back to normal."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"Wow..." [She lets out a breath. She looks Susan up and down.] "...I promise not to think any less of you when you start going a little crazy around the 45 day mark."

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"...What."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"Well you don't...have the best record of handling not being able to do lots of stuff at once. But it's okay!"

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"I have one arm, that's at least six things I can do at once."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"......yeah, good point!" [She does not believe her.]

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"I'll be just fine, after a hire a number of stooges."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"....a number of stooges?"

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"Or maybe I'll have Endymion send me an assistant."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"...I don't mind helping you!"

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"I think I'd drive you mad."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"...Nuh uh."

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"I think you would."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"Nuh uh! We really like each other, we could make it work!"

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"We can try it, but I still think you'll be mad as a hatter by the end of the first week."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"Well if I go crazy, then you can feel free to hire all the stooges you want."

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"Fine."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"..." [Alexandra takes in a couple breaths.]

"Um. If you don't wanna answer 'cause you're in pain or you don't wanna talk about the tournament, I'll understand, but. C-can I ask you something, Susan?"

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

"..Sure."

[icarus-attack.livejournal.com]

"...do you think our team can win the WRGP?" [Beat.] "A-and...d-do you think that, as I am, I can help them?"

[weavethebonds.livejournal.com]

Susan stops to think.

"Normally, I'd say yes to both of those questions.. but. I don't know, after what happened to me. I couldn't see myself losing to anyone either."

"...maybe instead of just avoiding Ghost, we should've been trying to figure out ways to fight against it like some of those other guys with those new cards did."
