Report 051 - [Accidental Video//Forward-dated to evening]

[followstheflame]

[Riza's PCD turns on to show...nothing of real interest.  She's in the kitchen preparing dinner, cutting up an onion.  Everything seems normal.

And then the knife slips just enough to cut her finger.

She hisses and pulls her hand away before any blood can get on the food, but as she looks at her finger, the blood pooling around the cut, she tenses up.  Her eyes go wide with some unspoken memory and, letting out a whimper, she collapses to the floor, leaning against the counter.  Her eyes are now clenched shut and her hands are shaking, but why?  Surely she didn't cut herself that badly.

But even after a few more moments, she moans to herself and starts to rock, trying to stay calm.]


[ooc:  Say hello to PTSD!Riza.  Comments will be from ghostsinthesand  since she has better icons XD]

... Riza? You alright?


-=Shirt on? Check. Slang in place? Check. Still close to his sister even though he's normal human? Check.=-

[Hesitantly, she shakes her head, and then speaks quietly. Her finger is still bleeding.]

They're not all right.

-=Insert frown.=-

I'm talking about you. You're still bleeding.

Let me come over and help you.

Huh?

[Oh. Right. She cut herself. And with that realization, the sting of the onion juice mixed into the wound brings her out of the reverie. She stands up as if nothing had happened and starts to clean off her finger.]

Oh, no, I'll be all right.

-=Stubborn woman.=-

You don't look all right.

It's just a small cut, I'll be fine.

Is someone there with you? -=not letting up=-

[ghostsinthesand.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[She sniffles. Onions are strong.]

[al_truism]

Lieutenant.

[A note of concern in his voice. Hey, guess which brother was in the military this time around, and ended up with the automail?]

[She tenses up again at that title. Guess who never went back to the military after Ishbal?]

...Please don't call me that.

[bunny_flower]

Hawkeye-san?

[She's focused on her wound when she answers, sounding a little distant.]

Miss Unohana.

[bunny_flower]

[She recognizes the symptoms, but she'll ask anyway.]

What's wrong?

[Video]

[ghostsinthesand.livejournal.com]

...Everything.

[Video]

[bunny_flower]

What do you mean?

[Video]

[ghostsinthesand.livejournal.com]

So much pain, suffering. Blood, everywhere.

[Video]

[bunny_flower]

You should start by treating this wound.

What good would it do? I still...I still...

[realfolkinblue.livejournal.com]

Riza?
What happened?

[Video]

[ghostsinthesand.livejournal.com]

[She seems to be distant, not really looking at anything. And when she speaks, her voice is quiet, not that of the strong woman everyone in Adstring knows her to be.]

Too much.

Are you alright?

[He's totally getting ready to come over.]

[Video]

[ghostsinthesand.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head. Because in her mind she's seeing bodies and blood (so much blood) seeping into the sand of Ishbal. And she's responsible for a lot of that death.]

Re: [Video]

[realfolkinblue.livejournal.com]

[That does it.]

I'm coming over.

[Video]

[ghostsinthesand.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't.

[I might hurt you, too.]

Who says?

[Spike Spiegel does not know the meaning of the word 'pain.']
