004 [video/action] [Forward dated to Friday Morning]

[Video/Action for CH 4]

[When the video feed switches on, there's a bit of a bounce, as if the journal has just opened upon been dropped. When it finally stops, one can see a crooked view of a set of stairs. Seconds later, there's a sharp yelp and the camera catches a brief glimpse of a certain blonde teenager tumbling past, down the stairs, followed by the loud thud of her smacking into a wall. But fear not, this is no act of violence. Just a clumsy teen being clumsy.]

Ow...ow ow owwww...!

[For a minute or so, one can hear a few whines and quiet hisses of pain.]

Mmmrrrgghh... S...Stupid wings...! Ow... Okay. Just need to...get up. Ooogh, first my hair and now this...!

[Apparently, Pilouette has forgotten she even dropped the journal because after a few seconds, it gets some good footage of her feet shakily shuffling forward, right before she trips over it and, letting out a loud shriek, gets a nice faceful of STAIRS just as the feed cuts out.]


[Action]

[Later, after putting on a different set of clothes, Pils heads out to the grocery because there's one thing that always makes her feel better on a crappy day: BAKING~! At least the bad weather from the past week has cleared up. There's a chance one may run into her at the grocery or on the way back. Either way, with the way her luck is going, she's pretty paranoid and just trying not to make things worse for herself, so she'll be stepping carefully.]

[Later in the afternoon, Pilouette can be found sitting outside, behind the school, stuffing herself with sweets and generally being A DEGENERATE PUNK a mopey little sourpuss.]

((ooc: Feel free to indirectly/accidentally cause bad things to happen! It's like a big festival of bad luck!))

[Considering he saw her faceplant into the stairs, he's not inclined to dismiss that as 'little.'] That looked like a pretty bad fall to me. Are you bruised at all? Or dizzy?

[voice]

[Oh, he's really hoping she didn't do something nasty to the wings. He hasn't seen them injured too many times before, but he's heard all manner of horror stories.] Can you still move your wings all right?

[voice]

[personal profile] herd_effect 2012-03-24 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
You should probably come down to the clinic and get them checked out. Just in case.

[voice]

Those wings are pretty fragile. If there's a chance that you could've damaged them, I'd like to have a look at them.

[Yep, he's a doctor, and a relatively paranoid one at that.]

[Mornings at the clinic always seem to be either very slow or very hectic, and as this morning happens to be one of the former variety, Willock's seated in the lobby when she walks in, thumbing through a book. He rises, noting her nervousness and offering a smile.]

Hello. I don't think I introduced myself--I'm Dr. Willock. And you're..?

[action]

[personal profile] herd_effect 2012-03-24 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Pilouette. Yeah, that was me. Right this way.

[And he'll lead her into one of the examination rooms, motioning for her to sit on the bed as he washes his hands. As he turns back he hands her a tissue for any blood that she still might have on her face, and he frowns as he notes the state of her eye.]

Oh, you've got a nice bruise forming there. I should get you some ice for that.

[action]

[personal profile] herd_effect 2012-03-24 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Not terrible. I don't see any major swelling or bleeding on the eye. But here, just a second.

[He steps out, returning shortly with an ice pack and giving it to her. Someone should really start stocking those things in the rooms themselves, considering that there aren't any nurses around for him to send running for supplies.]

All right, let's see those wings.

[That detail does not escape Willock's attention, though he doesn't eye it for long. He comments absently as he spreads one of her wings, checking to see if anything was dislodged.]

Did you burn yourself this morning?

[action]

[personal profile] herd_effect 2012-03-24 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. [He smiles again, sympathetically.] You're not having a very good day, are you.

[action]

[personal profile] herd_effect 2012-03-24 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
We all have days like that now and then. I hope it gets better for you.

Tell me if this is painful. [He starts slowly manipulating her right wing near its attachment point. Some of the feathers are a little bent there, but it's difficult to tell whether the tissue underneath was affected.]

[action]

[personal profile] herd_effect 2012-03-24 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yep, definitely something there. He brushes back the feathers, observing the beginnings of inflammation along the joint.]

I think you may have sprained it here. It doesn't look broken to me, but I'd like to do an x-ray to make sure.

[action]

[personal profile] herd_effect 2012-03-24 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt it. If you had some kind of open wound--like a compound fracture--I'd be more concerned. The accounts I've heard and read of people getting sick seem to be the result of part or all of a wing being amputated, which would provide an easy way for germs to enter the body.

[Yep, he's not about to make any fancy claims about the wings until he gains a better understanding of their structure. As far as he's concerned, they're just another set of limbs--limbs with a very high number of nerve endings, yes, but nothing really beyond that.]

[action]

[personal profile] herd_effect 2012-03-25 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, don't worry. There's a lot of claims out there about the wings, but I recommend taking most of them with a grain of salt. [And even if she has more than a sprain, he trusts that he can set it and send her on her way. He walks back towards the door.] Let's just have them x-rayed and see what needs to be done.
