Meeting up with Mel.

[Kuro Okami]

Kuro staggered into the Center, hia face pale from teh loss of blood.Looking around, he sat down, gripping the bag of stuff he had managed to snag from the storage before the Capturer had shot him."Melissa,where are ye?" He muttered weakly.

[Melissa Clark]

Melissa, having stumbled into the cafeteria, had rediscovered that Rebellions had alcohol. A wonderful drink she found she could down until she was kicked out. Which was exactly what had happened. So as she hobbled along, laughing to herself quietly, her sling carrying her cast arm, she remembered somewhere in the fog of her mind that she was to meet Kuro.

Changing direction completely, she leaned onto the wall, laughing and entertaining herself as she made her way to the center. "Hickery dickery dock. The mouse ran up the clock. When he came down, he'd found he'd lost hi-" Melissa was scrabbling with the door, struggling to open it. Pushing a pull door never worked. Eventually she got in. "Helloooo?" She called, peering around the room through blurry eyes.

[Kuro Okami]

Kuro raised a shaking hand in welcome.'Yo, Melissa...Retreived some goods for ya....thats ....why...I t...told..ya to come here...." Kuro's hand fell,and he cursed. Next time he got hold of that Capturer......

[Melissa Clark]

Melissa looked around the room, her head swinging around before she spotted Kuro. She tottered over, finding that walking in a straight line was pretty darn difficult. "Wait, wait..I'll be there in a second." Eventually, she got to Kuro. When she did, she had to lean on a wall next to him to keep from falling over. "You got stuff? Cool..cool.." She peered at him, the stench of alcohol rolling from her body. "Yer very pale, Kuro. What happened?" Melissa's eyes leered at the white haired boy's face. Drinking in the weakness in his features. "You get hurt?"

[Kuro Okami]

Kuro chuckled, ignoring the stench of alcohol."Hehe, yeah, you could say thaaat..." He pointed to his shin, where the raygun had been shot at. A large divut was dug out of the side muscle of his shin, and blood was pouring from it."Gooot shoooot byy a Capturer..had to leeeg it.."

[Melissa Clark]

Melissa plopped down onto her bum next to him. "Whatcha gonna do 'bout that?" She asked him, staring at the bright red liquid flowing from his leg so freely. "Dunno how you legged it with a shot in your leg. I don't know much about saving a leg." She frowned, then gently touched around the blast hole in his leg. "I think ya gotsa put pressure on it." She told him, hiccuping between her sentences, and through them. Melissa looked away then, fingertips bloody as she felt a lot of the drink she'd consumed rising in her body. "Gurgh..." She gurgled, let out a small burp, then looked back to him. She didn't want to throw up all over him, that could infect the wound she was leaning over.

[Kuro Okami]

He handed the sack over her."maybe...we should...go...to..the medical ward..." Trying to stand, he wobbled, and then sat back down hard.

[Melissa Clark]

Melissa looked at him. He was right. The medical ward. Best place to be in his condition. Dumping the sack on a nearby seat, she pulled him onto her back, one handed. "I can come back for those another time, but for now we need to get you to someone that can sort you out." She nodded her head, then, holding him on her back, made her way, rather speedily to the nearest medical room. Only a few minutes away. The most she could manage with a teenage boy on her back.

"Hold on, I don't want to drop you."

[Kuro Okami]

Kuro chuckled weakly."Ehehehe, no worrys. I dont wanna be dropped." After saying this, he fell unconcious, his grip still tight enough to stay on.

[Melissa Clark]

Melissa glanced over her shoulder, blinked, rolled her eyes and sped up a little. She knew that a lack of blood could, and did, lead to a pass out. She'd just never felt someone hold on while unconscious. Not that she carried many unconscious people. Though, she wasn't about to ask. Not that she could.

A little while passed before she bustled through a large door, and placed the KO'd body down on a doctor's table, she explained that SMILE had attacked her friend. Upon being asked their status, she mumbled a quiet 'Rebel', though he was citizen, that information was worth hiding. For his safety.

The doctor quickly went to work on the young boy, fixing and stitching him up, then setting him down somewhere where he wouldn't be in the way. Melissa stayed with him, through out all of this, and simply waited for him to wake up.

[Kuro Okami]

Kuro groaned, opening his eyes a few hours later.He grinned weaky and looked at Melissa, who was obviously worried."Hey, doc, how bad is it?" he sayed, setting up a joke in her direction."Am I gonna have to make like Peg-leg Pete? Am I gonna do the wooden foot dance? Am I gonna have ta buy a stuffed parrot and a pirates suit and say yaar all the time?" he asked, knowing all the well his foot, and shin, was still attached.

[Melissa Clark]

While Melissa was yes, worried. She was also drunk. And a drunk Melissa was famous for falling asleep. So as Kuro woke, she dozed off, then awoke again. Somewhat more sober now. Narrowing her eyes at her friend, she smacked him over the top of the head. "You do not do that again!" She snapped, then, smiling sweetly, brought him into a hug and squished him against her. "Your leg is gonna be okay. But you gotta stay off it. Which means you'll be staying with a Rebel member most of the time. Likely me or Bam." She explained, nodding her weary head.

[Kuro Okami]

Rubbing his head and grinning, Kuro saluted."Yaar, ayeaye, Captain. Will do!" He grinned wrly."Aint like I'm gonna be able to do any more raids right now anyway." Sudennly, his eyes widened,and he patted his jacket nervously, sighing with releif when his hand encountered his weapons."Phew, good. Still got them. And I even managed to slice the jerks shin open who did this to me. Hahhaha, life is grand..." He grinned."Oh, by the way, I got a present for ye. Its in a sack. I think it might have been some stuff that could prove useful to the Rebellion.Im not sure, I didnt have time to check it."He smirked."And I managed to snag a SMILE van for Bam,also."

[Melissa Clark]

Melissa listened to what he had to say. She was thankful, but he really shouldn't have gone out of his way as he had done. He could have been hurt worse. "Now SMILE know your face, you're going to need to keep down for a bit. Keep quiet. Don't allow SMILE to see the pretty little noggin of yours, or you'll be in front of the judges." She shook her shaggy head, wiped her hair out of her face and looked to him. "Thank you, though. The rebellion appreciates what you're doing for us."

[Kuro Okami]

He grinned."Actually, my face was hidden." But then his face fell as he realized something."But that fat oaf does have my build and voice! Your right, I better stay low." He looked around."So, will I have ta use a crutch or something to get around?"

[Melissa Clark]

Melissa looked to his leg. "Yeah, you can either have a crutch or be carried on my back. It's entirely up to you really. Though, I'd much prefer if you used a crutch." She stood, stretched her back with a few pops and cracks, then passed the white haired boy a crutch. He only needed one, as far as she knew.

Letting him get used to it, she stood near the door, holding it open for him. She was ready to get out of there, as soon as she possibly could manage it. Hospitals and medical rooms always made her feel a little ill.

[Kuro Okami]

Taking the crutch, he expertly got out of bed, easily swing his way over to Mel.Sheepsihy rubbing the back of his head, he explained."heheh, I kinda twisted my ankle real bad a few years back. I had to use an crutch for a entire year.Should we go retreive da stuff?"

(Im gonna leave wats in da bag up to u,considering I dont know what would be useful fro the Rebellion,lol)

[Melissa Clark]

Melissa chuckled. She'd half expected him to slip about and fall over, which may have made her laugh. But the fact that he hadn't hurt himself further made her feel better than laughing would have. "Come on then, let's go see what you've gotten for us." She smiled encouragingly and followed him out of the door. They'd left the sack he'd given her in the center, where they'd originally met. So she figured that would be where they'd be going back to.

((Okay, ))

[Kuro Okami]

Swinging his way back to the center, he spotted a Rebel about to pick up the bag. Swinging his way over quickly, he snatched it outta their hand."Sorry,pard, this isnt for you!" Blinking, the Rebel stared at Kuro as he swung his way back ove to Melissa,handing her the bag."Here ya go!"

[Melissa Clark]

The blonde rolled her eyes at Kuro's antics. "Laying low, you're doing it wrong." Taking the sack and heading over to an unoccupied table, she began to empty the contents over the table. Spanners, screws, tools, one or two guns. One broken gun. Other pieces that couldn't really be categorized. "They all look pretty useful. I'll take 'em down sometime and let the engineers sort through it before taking my pick. I like to take the less useful pieces of crap for my own devices." She explained, putting her boots up on the table, and patiently waiting for Kuro to join her.
