✞11 Days since my Last Confession✞

[13th_crusader]

[✝]Daniel 12:2

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake.
Some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.[✝]

[☨]It's late by now, and by the time the camera flickers on to spy on the man, it's already a little too dark in the room to see. Light from the hospital hallway gives a dim view of Maxwell drearily coming in and out of sleep. With a moan he rolls over, not wanting to wake up, but at the same time, not wanting to go back to dreaming that dream again. Shifting, he hears the bed give an unfamiliar creak, and as meticulous as he was, he knew..[☨]

This isn't my bed.

[☨]Dizzily he sat up in the dark, glancing with contemptible disdain to the blinking screen.[☨]

Oh will you get behind me already? I don't know where I am, and you're the last thing I want to see.

[☨]Curling his finger, he gives the screen a flick, snapping if off.[☨]


((ooc: Abel-mun, say he went back to sleep, and he can awake to find Abel there for whenever you get back! <3 ))

[The archbishop blinked at the translucent computer.]

A.. hologram? Oh, well, va bene, if it will keep that indecency from my mouth..

[Blood was a sacred thing after all. They drank the wine, Christ's blood in communion, not spit it out.]

Eh, do I just lie here or..?

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

"Blood is hardly indecent. It is what keeps your organs and extremities function via gas exchange with the cells of your body. If it weren't for blood and its properties, you wouldn't be alive."

[She didn't even look up as she continued to type away at her computer, taking scans and comparing readings.]

"You're fine as you are for the moment."

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

No but I shouldn't be letting it like that.

It's a precious thing after all, like you say.

[He had no idea what she did. And it was over? Maxwell blinked widely. What kind of technology was this?]

Aha, good to know, very good, though.. I do feel a little bruising still, is that normal?

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

[At his question she looked up.]

"Bruising where?"

[She was more curious then anything as she glanced at the readouts in some alien language. She tapped a few more of the colorful unlabeled buttons before turning back to him and smiling.]

"That is true, though sometimes it can't be helped."

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

In my stomach, that is.

[Flattening his hand on his thin abdomen, he hesitated opening up his shirt, thinking some horror might be found there.]

What did you actually do, while I was out? Not to overly pry but, I do have an overwhelming sense of self-preservation. Life is my gift, my body is it's vessel.

[Washu smirked a little at his question, how had she treated it? Random medicine A that she had been meaning to test on someone. Not that he needed to know that. The usual treatments would have been medicines that she doubted were in the city or surgery and as much as she loved to dissect things, he was human so there really was nothing interesting for her to see so why bother.]

"Medicine."

[She glanced at his stomach. No apparent bruises, which meant the interior oblique muscles were what hurt, quite possibly the serosa membrane on the stomach. She scanned the area and smiled a little.]

"Interior bruising is nothing to worry about."

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

Medicine.. Ah, I see.

[Well that was non-conforming.

At this point he did not want to know the details. So long as he didn't die, he shouldn't care at this point.]

I hope I haven't been an inconvenience, Miss Washu.

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

She chuckled softly at his response as she paused in her typing and summoned a cushion to sit on near his bedside.

No more then the usual people I deal with. Though, you are one of the few human's I've treated lately. I admit, it was a nice change.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

[He didn't see that. He didn't see that! Maxwell ripped his gaze away, choking down the thought that she was using witchcraft of some sort to do that.]


Ah yes.. it feels a bit like humanity is outnumbered here.


[Much to his great displeasure.]

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

Oh she noticed that. It seems her little display of power in order to get comfortable unnerved him. How interesting. Lets see how far she could do this... despite the fact that it was against her medical orders.

She wanted to see exactly what stressed him out.

I wonder why that is. Perhaps we are more interesting then humans.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

Ah.. we?

[Great! Just great! He was being treated by another otherworldly, possibly, ungodly creature. Maxwell breathed deeply, smoothing a hand over his tightly bound hair.]


I think humanity is plenty interesting as it is.

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

She managed to keep her devious smirk from her lips as she noticed how he picked up on her wording. So, that was what annoyed him. Was something this simple causing his ulcers. She would bet A and B that this was it.

Hm.. maybe. Your planet has yet to place a human further then the moon in your own solar system and your space program is laughable.However, I will admit your art is interesting. But, I've never seen a species so bent on destroying themselves.

[13th-crusader.livejournal.com]

[An ever observant man, Enrico could grasp at the clues given and form a judgmental picture of a person.. or thing.]

That would be a curse of original sin.

[As humanity had been trying to get itself killed since the times of Eden.]

I take you're some kind of... extra terrestrial?

[That idea boggled him. Aliens fell into some kind of gray area when it came to his faith. Oh how he hated gray areas!]

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

She gave a slight nod at his question before tilting her head to the side and leaning in a bit.

You could term it as such. All extra terrestrial really refers to is a being or material not originating from Earth. It really is such a broad term.

However, yes, I am not from Earth. I was living there for some time before coming here.
