[ Ranger has been distancing himself from the participants while spending more time with his fellow Floormaster. Amami, Komaeda, Midori - those were the only three he felt he could lean on, and one is gone now. It seems that the participants would rather not see his face now, and others were grieving or could be presumed dead. But time waits for no one, and his is precious.
He's working on Safalin's machine now, working through various settings. In all honesty, he should've moved the damn thing when it first showed up, but it's enough of an eyesore that he hadn't wanted it in his living quarters. But he's getting ready to move it now. Midori doesn't need it to destroy people's memories, and somebody's going to melt their brain with it if he leaves it for too long. Besides, it's ASUNARO technology. That shouldn't be left accessible.
He must be working on multiple things at once, because the arcade machine has likewise been pulled out and the back taken off. That's next on his list.
He happens to catch sight of Sara passing by. ]
You mind giving me a hand with this?
[ He pats the top of the chair the device is stationed on as he says this. ]
[ Sara's been...testy with Ranger lately but its not like she wants to be rude enough to ditch him when he needs a hand. She gives the pile of mechanical guts a look of slight disgust for a moment, before she she puts her hands on the back of the chair. ]
Er...where do you need it, Ranger-san?
[ The return to formality is palpable. She might be a little mad, believe it or not. Not for any good reason...its Ranger's own fault for hanging out with a bunch of petty teens! ]
[ Ranger's behavior is almost an even match. The casual demeanor remains, but he's terse, his posture rigid. Even so, it's not like what occurred at the meeting had no effect on him. Sara shouldn't have been the one taking blows for Komaeda - really, no one should have, and if Ranger had been a little bit quicker perhaps he could have pulled him out of harm's way.
But here they are, one with a broken arm and the other nearly despondent. ]
Rantaro's room. [ It's Ranger and Komaeda's room now. It's directly next to Sara's room, so it's nice and convenient. ] I can grab it, so I just need someone to get the door. Might wanna make sure no one's in the way too.
[ Taking the blow for Komeada was the least of it... If you feel bad, can you ask Midori where he keeps the good drugs? He hides them. To be honest, Sara really shouldn't be out of the nurses office right now, so he should be double thankful and just keep quiet that she's hanging around the dorms instead of getting bedrest.
Her own face falls out of its prim positioning at the mention of Amami, not to the anger of the meeting, but a lost little glance down at the box before she nods once. ]
I can do that.
[ She can't lift the box, but she does start walking over towards the room. Ranger can follow if he wants. ]
Is Komeada in? I haven't seen him since... He's feeling better right!? I saw you go after him.
[ Just wait, when he finds out she has none and goes to steal Komaeda's morphine for her. He scoops up the box, adjusting his grip so he can hold it without abandoning his face cards and following along. There's a pause as he considers the best way to answer his question, one that lasts a little too long to be called normal. How much should he say here...? ]
I don't think so. He... [ There's another pause, shorter this time, but it's hard to deny the traces of concern that work their way in, ] ... Took what happened pretty hard. He's more sensitive than people think.
[ Bonnie had gotten distracted by other conflicts happening during the meeting, and had been unable to really chat with Sara about everything in the end. She'd agreed to be there in case anything went wrong, and it sounded like stuff went wrong while she wasn't looking.
Plus, really... she did have a few questions herself to ask. Which is why she went searching for Sara, seeking out her room and giving a little knock. ]
[ Sara's room is empty except for Akamatsu-san...but if Bonnie asks around, she'll find Sara has been staying at the nurses office while she recovers with her recently exploded arm.
She's mostly been reading a book to keep her mind off the worst doctor ever, but when Bonnie comes in, Sara sits up with a guarded expression before she see's who it is. ]
Oh! Bonnie-chan...? Ow...sorry I sat up to fast. Did you come to visit me?
[ Sheesh, she knew something bad had went down, but her arm was caught bad. That's what she gets for taking her eye off the ball. Well, at least she survived whatever it was. ]
--S'it bad? What happened to no stabbing or fighting?
sorry i sucked at marvel vs capcom 2 queen i tried my best
Um... I forgot to count magic in? Or wait, science.... Add-chan is weird about that.
[ She pats the foot of her bed, inviting Bonnie closer. ]
It could be worse... [ In a tone that also implies it could be better. ] If I just broke my arm, that's better then Komeada taking the hit or Add really hurting someone. I'll be ok in no time.

it ok, fighting games are hard
[ She takes the invitation and sits down, arms folded with a grimace suddenly crossing her face. ]
It's worse if someone else gets hurt? They were the ones causing trouble, why the hell should you take the hit for them?
