As your walking by you see the a couple men carrying something on a stretcher. You hear them saying things like "he doesnt have much time" and "We better hurry before he dies". Instinctively, you follow. Soon the men turn into a large building. You continue to follow until they turn into a room. You stand in the doorway, alert and praying that it is no one you know. As the men lift the body onto a bed you see some gold blonde hair, stained with blood, sticking out from infront of one of the men. They back away, letting the full picture come into view. Cloud, bloody and wounded, is laying in the bed. You stand there, on the verge of fainting. Thoughts racing through your mind, yet your body shows no signs of it. The men push past you, heading for the Mess Hall. Soon, a couple doctors, a herboloagist, and a healer mage, rush in. They close the door and tell you to wait on the benches by the door.

About 30 minutes pass

All the doctors leave the room, one looks back with a sad look in her eyes. You immediately rush in, fearing for Cloud's life. You see him, laying there. He is c;eaned up a bit and breathing, barely, but still breathing. A magical orb is letting of a series of beeps. A doctor comes in and tells you he is in a deep coma. He is alive, but he is sleeping and wont respond to anything.

OOC: This topic is so that there is a reason for me not being on a lot for a while. I just started school again and until I get back in the swing of things, I wont be on a lot. I may come on and look around and see what is going on, but I wont post. I leave permission to use my NPC Strato to HNS. If I get back and find that me inbox is full with stupid PMs asking where I am, KASEI, I will be mad and I will report it to RG! If you want to contact me, I wont be answering many PMs, my email is triforce@citlink.net DONT flood my e-mail inbox either! I might swing by and post the occasional OOC post. Feel free to act like you would with Cloud the way you would if someone close to you was in this situation. Say what you want but Cloud will not respond. Sadly, I bid you all a fond farewell...for now that is.[/b]

Rose stands there, showing no sign of emotion. Many would probably think she either didn't know Cloud or that she was heartless. But if they could read her mind, her thoughts would give her away. Come on, Cloud. Don't die now.

OOC: Well, I guess I can take over Strato for you, but I don't see where and why I would use him.

hey, rose. kasei shows up out of nowhere.
heh, I wonder, what happened?

Sovelis walks in and stands next to Lady Rose and Kasei. Sovelis sees Strato, Cloud's little brother, is asleep on a couch. " Cloud is dieing, Kasei." Sovelis tells him. " I think Strato sould stay at my home until Cloud recovers." he says to Rose. He walks over to Strato and wakes him. Strato roles over and lookes at Sovelis with eyes red from crying. " What do you want? " Strato Asks Sovelis. " Strato. If you want to, You can come stay at my home until Cloud is better." The mage says as he rouches down to speak to the boy. "Strato, If you don't want to, you can stay here with your brother." Sovelis fineshes. Strato gets up and hits Sovelis in his arm. " I WON'T LEAVE CLOUD!!! I WON'T LEAVE MY BIG BROTHER!!! " He yells at Sovelis

OOC: Wow, I didn't know HNS was short for Sovelis.

Seeing as how Cloud gave me control over Strato, I believe that would still be god-modding (while I'm at it, see RG Draug's article about god-modding over in the new people forum). But I'll let is slide; just remember that Strato is under my control until Cloud comes back and relieves me of that control.

Also, when Strato speaks, his words are in red, not blue. If you are going to write his speech as Cloud does, do it the way he would. But seeing as how you won't be god-modding Strato again (or so I hope), you don't have to worry about that. As for myself, I'll be using my way of writing dialogue.

IC:
Rose pulls Strato towards her. "Shh," she hushes. "There's no reason to shout, especially in a hospital. You don't have to leave if you don't want to. I'll stay here with you." She steers the young boy back to the bench and they both sit down.

"Okay," he mutters. He drifts back to sleep as Rose takes out her flute and plays a lullaby.

ughh, i'm outa here! and kasei leaves, not making a noise...


OOC: oh shit! I pmed cloud a few days ago!!! I didn't read his post, will he be mad at me?!?

OoC: sorry!
IC: Sovelis walked out of the hospital.mabye it was for the better...

OOC: No Kasei, I dont think Cloud would be mad. I said not to flood my inbox, one or maybe a little more is fine. Yes, I came by to look around and see what was going on. HNS you dont have to be to hard on the guy, but I did leave permission to HNS so dont let it happen again, Sovelis.

OOC: I didn't mean to sound harsh about it; sorry.

Sovelis walked in a few days later to see if Cloud was better.

OOC: CLOUD WHEN THE HELL ARE YOU COMING BACK WE ALL MISS YOU DAMMIT!

OOC: You all miss me? Wow, i didn't think i was that liked. But the good news is that I am back and ill be around much more now. I just wont be posting until i figure out a way to explain him being in the hospital and coming back from the coma.

IC: Cloud starts to move in his bead. His face has regained some color and seems to have lost the blank featuress on his face. You hear a groan come from him and Strato runs over in an instant.

CLOUD! Are you awake?!

Cloud stirs in his bed again and stops moving. The best thing to do now is wait and watch.

OOC: Cloud isn't awake yet. He wont be for a little while. In the meantime, if you see Cloud pop up around places, it is a magical hologram. The hologram can touch things and pivk them up but cannot fight. It has no weapons. This is just so I dont get bored.
