“What do you mean, it’s gone?” //vert-a-cross-argent

There was honestly very little in this line of work that Samaritan hadn't seen or heard of. A whole truck going missing without a trace, however, had been a new one.

"I mean, it's gone." She was honestly surprised that the words were as intelligible to another human ear. They had practically been pushed through her gritted teeth by the quiet but simmering anger that was now flowing through her entire body.

"Y'know? The truck full of medical supplies that came in last night? The one we were told to leave until morning to unpack because, and I quote, 'it's not like it's going anywhere'? The truck that we ignored because we had other shipments that had to be unloaded and outta here before midnight? That truck, remember?"

Frustration was kicking up a gear, and Lottie had to take a moment to stop, pause, and take a breath. It wasn't his fault that something's gone missing, especially when it seems that he's only really here to make sure that everything ordered arrived and then sent to the right department.

"That truck was supposed to be bringing much needed restocks for Doc's medical cabinet. She's got some stuff that can only come in once every three or four months, and we've only got about a week's supply left."

Running a hand through her hair, she mumbled under her breath, "I thought supply quantity was supposed to be better up here."

#vertacrossargent #first thought was limb loss but then I was like #I can't mutilate Falman like that #and I've got a few injury threads already #so figured it would be good to do something else :)#thanks for being patient!

must-hate-dogs:

He stares at the medic through swimmy vision, repeating her words to himself until they make sense. Does he remember where he is? Does he remember– oh. Sure, he’s– uh– shit– oh! right–

“Fortune Field,” he says finally. A wave of vertigo rolls over him and he squeezes his eyes shut. When it passes, he huffs, "Fortune, heh. This is about par for my luck. What– shit–“

Before he can finish asking what’s wrong with him, another, more powerful wave crashes into him and and he slumps forward, forehead to earth.

“Woah!” Lunging forward to try to catch the man before he landed head first into the dirt, Lottie gripped onto his arm in an attempt to keep him upright whilst easing him slowly onto the floor. “Easy, alright, how about you lay down on your back for a second. Is there pain anywhere?”

Pulling her bag off of her shoulders, she started to rifle through it to find a pair of gloves. Fainting after a dizzy spell perhaps? Though what would’ve caused it? Hitting his head, or maybe dehydration? Thinking briefly back to the field exercises she completed during training, trying to gain a bit of insight into this situation, she could remember vividly the amount of soldiers that forgot to drink enough fluids and ended up being carried into the medic tents. Though I doubt an officer would forget something so trivial.

“I take it you’re feeling woozy? A bit faint and dizzy?” Then, almost as an after thought, “Just try and focus on your breathing for the time being, I’ve got you.”

scentedbygunpowder:

“Lottie Samaritan,” Riza said, repeating the medic’s name. “Which do you prefer I call you?” She had to concentrate a bit on it to try to remember it, which was unlike her. It was also unlike her not to notice the other woman moving towards her wound. The light touch took her by surprise, and she gave a very small flinch at it. It was not enough of one for most people to notice, but it was likely that the medic did.

Riza blinked at bit at her words, taking a moment to comprehend them, and then let out a noise of acknowledgement. She didn’t want to stay overnight, but she could also clearly tell that she needed to.

It took her another moment to realize that she had been asked to stand up and slowly she did, making sure that she had her balance. She appreciated the the extra hands that helped to steady her as she did. Sliding her jacket off proved to be painful, especially as the sleeves were pulled away, taking with them some of the places they had begun to stick to her scrapes. Her right arm was scraped up fairly badly, and looking down she could see that her shirt–

–her shirt was not whole anymore.

Panic shot through her, which did not help her head, as she realized that part of her shoulder and back were exposed, and that her tattoo could probably be seen. Out of instinct she tried to take a step back away from the other woman, but her knees bumped against the cot, throwing off her balance, and she found herself stumbling down onto the cot. Her arm, painful thought it was, groped for something to cover her back, seized upon something and pulled it up.

“No–don’t… Don’t–I–” it was hard for her to try to find the right words. Her head was spinning, swimming and the panic wasn’t helping. “I… I’m… I don’t like my back to be seen.”

That wasn’t the best excuse, but it was the only one that she could form right now.

“Honest to god, either. Samaritan might be easier due to work though, people often think it’s ironic considering the profession. A good samaritan and all that.” Trying to gloss over the fact that the Lieutenant very visibly flinched at the touch, Lottie decided not to bring it up. She’s obviously not very comfortable at the moment, not surprising considering the injuries she’s presenting, I can bring it up later, when she’s more recovered. Hopefully it’s just the pain, and not a fear response.

This train of thought was abruptly interrupted by the panicked backing away and quick excuse. Well that was...unexpected. It was one of those moments where Lottie would give anything for time to just stop or at least slow down so that she could have a moment to process what happened before deciding her next move. Unfortunately, time doesn’t bend to the will of a medic - if it did there would be far fewer deaths. Fuck the universe.

“Okay...” she began gently, “I can go get a spare shirt if you’d prefer?” Deciding to focus on getting her patient to calm down, Lottie figured that the questions that have risen can wait until the patient’s head wound and other injuries have been addressed. If panicking patients are a bad idea on their own, panicking patients with head wounds are an even worse combination.

Backing away from the cot, she pulled the curtains around the bed to offer the Lieutenant the privacy that she seemed almost desperate to have. Waiting a moment to confirm that Hawkeye had managed to sit back up again without needing assistance, she walked to the store room to fetch a loose fitting shirt before returning and handing it over. Although better suited to one of the medic’s on duty, Lottie figured that it would do until someone could bring Hawkeye some of spare clothes of her own.

As she backed away from the cot and pulled the curtains completely shut, she couldn’t help but quietly add

“I have seen my fair share of injuries though, there’s honestly very little scarring that surprises me anymore. If you need any help sitting up or changing give me a call, I’ll just be on the other side of the curtain.”

#scentedbygunpowder #honestly didn't even realise that her tattoo might come into play #oops #thanks for being patient for the response!

“I can’t seem to catch my breath.” --theburiedbookworm

It had been a relatively quiet day considering - just going about the normal routine of checking in on patients who had stayed in overnight, making sure they got their morning doses, checking that their stats hadn’t changed, before returning to the front desk to sort through some files. As well as seeing to anyone that came through the double doors, of course.

Most injuries in Central Command were minor, often a heavy object falling onto someone’s foot after it was perched precariously on the edge of a table, or a few scrapes after a mission which weren’t considered serious enough for a hospital trip. Some ‘injuries’ being incredibly minor, like the “painful” paper cut that had apparently mortally wounded Private Jones enough that he had to come in last week. Only to then spend at least half an hour sulking in one of the waiting chairs after being given a band-aid. Luckily, he made a very speedy recovery upon hearing word that Sergeant Rivera was looking for him after he had failed to return to the office, quickly calling out a word of thanks as he practically sprinted out the doors.

It’s more concerning when the injury isn’t exactly visible. Especially when it’s respiratory on a, seemingly, healthy individual somewhere in their twenties.

"How about you have a seat on the cot. Then we'll have a look at you."

Guiding the other woman over to one of the nearest cots, a couple of thoughts were running through Lottie’s mind. Young woman, presenting with breathlessness, slightly pale from what I can tell, pretty sure she works in the archives so probably wasn’t running, though a box full of files would require heavy lifting.

"Name’s Samaritan, by the way. Can you tell me what you were doing before you became breathless?"

#Anonymous #theburiedbookworm #eyo! sorry it took a while to get back to you!#should be up and running for the next few months though :)

Extremely Exhausted Starters

“You. Rest. Now.”

“You took five steps and need to sit down again?”

“I’m absolutely fine, I just need to sit down.”

“I just need to sit-what do you mean I’m already laying down?”

“Your eyes aren’t focusing. Just close them for ten minutes.”

“Write one sentence on this piece of paper, and then I’ll let you up.”

“I just need a breather, that’s all. Maybe ten. No fifteen.”

“We’re both so exhausted we can’t even argue about not being exhausted.”

“When I said I needed five more minutes I meant it more like hours.”

“… no… I’m tired… let me sleep… I don’t want to get up.”

“We need to get out of the heat, you’re starting to look sick.”

“You can’t hide those shaking hands from me. You need to stop.”

“I’m just a little cold, I’m okay, really. Let me sit with a blanket or something.”

“Moving…? No I’m good thanks.”

“Gravity has a hold on me of which I have not the strength to break.”

“Was… was that actually there? That wasn’t there was it?”

“I’ve had no energy for three days.”

“You worked yourself so hard that you’ve been sentenced to three days of bed rest.”

“Listen I can… I can get up. It’s fine.”

“If we’re both in this state, we both really screwed up somewhere huh?”

“I have energy for exactly one more person of favourable standing, and going the hell to bed. With or without that person, bed is happening.”

“You’ve struggled to move anything for the last hour.”

“This is what happens when you over exert yourself.”

“You were almost dead from pushing it too far!”

“I went a little overboard sure… but I’m still alive. So shh.”

Hospital Starters

[ Requested by Anon about a week ago. Warnings for blood, suicidal thoughts, and medical stuff. Thanks! :]

“Hey, you’re awake!”

“Where am I?”

“You hit your head. There was so much blood that I got scared.”

“Don’t try to get up. You’re safe here.”

“I hate this place…”

“How could you do this to yourself?”

“The world didn’t give me a choice, and now, I’m suffering even more!”

“You really came…”

“I told you I would be here when you woke up.”

“How many tests did they do on you?”

“If I wasn’t drugged up, I could tell you the names of every test they do in this place.”

“When are they going to let you leave?”

“They said that I’ll be here for a few days. Maybe a week.”

“What happened to you? You have so many things sticking out of you.”

“That’s what happens when you’re dying.”

“It’s probably time to change those bandages…”

“You aren’t in pain, are you?”

“You were in an accident. You almost didn’t make it.”

“That would explain why I feel terrible.”

“I thought you were dead…”

“I’m not dead, am I?”

“I didn’t know it was this bad…”

“I may not live much longer…”

“I’m dying…”

“You can’t die! There has to be something they can do!”

“I’m too far gone for any surgery to fix me.”

“I want you to know that I’ll miss you most.”

“Don’t say that! I don’t like it when you talk like this…”

“I just want it to happen so I don’t have to think about it all the time.”

“I wanted to say goodbye to you one more time.”

“If you don’t get some sleep, I’m going to hit this button and tell a nurse you’re bothering me.”

“Don’t abuse that call button!”

“You know that button only works every five seconds, right?”

“Maybe if I push it hard enough, more will come out.”

“I get to come home today.”

“Did you fill out the release forms yet?”

“They hooked me up with a bunch of prescriptions. I’m gonna be high as a kite.”

I love DEEP CONVERSATIONS. Discussions in which our muses reflect on loaded topics like the future, death, their most passionate of ambitions, mistakes that they deeply regret, identity struggles, unexpressed fears, and more. Lighthearted and carefree threads are always great, but I also love threads that allow muses to explore parts of themselves that are typically hidden from those around them.

“Well this was my spot and you just happened to be part of it.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep your terrifying reputation in tact.”

“… absolute moron, what would you do without me?”

“You know what happens if you tell my secrets to the world.”

“Oh wow, I didn’t know grumpy expressions fed directly into cute.”

“Looks like I’ve got a backlogs of ‘I love you’ reminders to get through.”

“Think you’re gonna get away with this assault of hugs? I think not.”

“Could just admit you’re a sweetheart and get this facade over with.”

“Stoic and stalwart, I don’t need affection. I said ‘need’ not ‘want’. Different words.”

“Let me out of bed. I’ll fight you from the blankets.”

“I’m letting you pat my head for your benefit, not mine.”

“Can’t handle a hug? A tickle? Not at all?”

“Ulterior motives? We can’t do nice things for each other? I don’t blame you I am pretty suspicious.”

“I feel like we should be complaining about something petty while I brush your hair.”

“Diagnosis: you need to be squished.”

“If you’re so tough, get out of my arms lock. No, not a hug, an arms lock.”

“And the face cracked to reveal a hint of a smile. The legends were true!”

“Oh. Didn’t you get the memo? This is my favourite spot.”

“Hair looked a little too neat so

“Being adorable and being fierce and deadly are not mutually exclusive.”

“I’ve heard about sweet to sour, but not sour to sweet.”
