Closed [Catholicon] What Goes Up, Must Come Down (Ollic)

Job thread for Ollic, where Sana is the patient to be/being treated. Introduction/Preface setting the scene, and to explain the act of idiocy that landed Sana in the Catholicon in the first place.

The Diamond of Kalea is located on Kalea's extreme west coast and called as such because its completely made of a crystalline substance called Skyglass. Home of the Alvina of the Stars, cultural mecca of knowledge seekers, and rife with Ethaefal, this remote city shimmers with its own unique light.

Speech | Thoughts
Better safe than sorry, Sana had decided, keeping her gaze low as the doctor went about his business, the pressure Ollic exerting upon her hand enough to focus on as she drowned out that dreadful sound of needle through flesh. It would be over soon, she told herself, wishing for such as much for herself as for Ollic.

He was rather strong, she noted, not too long after he began practically crushing her hand in his, almost taking it back when he realised and released.

Before she quite knew it, there was a clatter and a breath of relief, some comment made about the wonders of stitches, earning a frown and shudder from Sana at the thought.

When the Vantha turned to her, she didn't like the look he wore, nor was she particularly fond of the word he spoke. The way things appeared on her end, there was no need to apologise. Sana had already rehearsed how to combat unwarranted apologies a dozen times over, such is required in her lines of work and study, though she couldn't form the words quite quick enough, her friend already explaining to himself by the time she'd finished taking in the breath to speak.

"It's fine, Ollic," she lulled, pressing her lips, her words far softer than she'd had intended, perhaps too quiet to be heard.

She couldn't help the laugh she gave when Ollic took to speaking of thank yous and apologies, taking his hand and giving a solid shake before she stood herself tall and stretched her limbs. "No votes of thanks or apologies are necessary," she giggled, "I earned a new friend, that's more than enough make up for the horror of tackling that staircase several times over."

A look passed her, then, and she shot a distasteful look towards her back pack, "Gods, and I have another trek to do yet," she rolled her eyes with a look of mock shock, pressing her lips as she puffed her cheeks, swaying side to side as she sought the willpower to pay for her troubles and begin the walk home. She'd have liked to pay for Ollic's, too, but a severe lack of coin on her own part meant that in doing so, she'd doom herself.

"I'm glad I met you - I'll aim to end up in your care next time a do something moronic." A bitter look to her wrist and she gave a breathless giggle, "Though, I'll be staying away from trees and cliffs for a while yet., it seems."

With his eyes crinkled as if bracing for a disaster to strike him down, he was surprised when Sana rejected his apologies and thank yous, telling him that there was no need for such action.

It was as if a weight had been lifted off of him. He had been through so much today and yet he was still up and walking around. He had gotten a sling for his broken arm and stitches for his bloody tongue. And it was finally all over…

…except for the walk down the never ending stairs on his way home.

His hand shake was accepted, the palm of her hand considerably smooth in his chapped one as the woman giggled, her smile dazzling in the light the small room gave them.

"I earned a new friend, that's more than enough make up for the horror of tackling that staircase several times over,” she said, her hair falling slightly into her eyes as she spoke.

It felt wonderful to have made another friend in this city. The only other friend he had was Eshe, and that friendship had begun way back when they were children in Avanthal. Times had changed and he was different. Everyone was different and although that frightened him a little, he knew that if he had friends, everything was going to be okay.

Ollic let a small grin crawl onto his lips and rest there for a few moments before he bit his lip as an awkward silence slowly set in.

She had to leave for another trip? By the way her cheeks puffed out as if she were a chipmunk trying to store its food in its mouth and her uneasy fidgeting, Ollic figured she must have to leave.

It was sad to let their experience together dwindle down to nothing for the day, but everything has to end eventually, and with the pain medication sure to wear off soon, Ollic thought it was best to return home.

“I’m glad to have met you too,” he said and just to make certain that they truly were friends now, he added, “Sana,” with his voice like honey, trying out the words for the first time. It sounded rather unique as the letters rolled off his lips.

The woman’s last joke somehow caused his own giggles to bubble up to the surface. He almost exploded into a fit of laughter after realising everything the two had been through- the climbing, the falling and the walking up those gods awful stairs. It had been so much fun and he made sure to tell Arysana that.

“It’s been quite a ride, but I’ll have to agree with you on that one. No more climbing for me. At all. Except, I suppose I’ll have to continue climbing those dreadful stairs to work every day.”

A slight grimace played games on his lips, now chapped from the lack of water he still hadn’t been able to get his hands on. He suddenly realised that he was hungry as well, but felt that after descending the stairs and having to walk back to his apartment, he’d be too sore to get up for a couple days.

The food would have to hold off for now.

Hesitating slightly as he thought whether he should extend his hand in terms of shaking again as a farewell or not, he thought better. They’re friends now, right? Who shakes the hand of their friend?

“Well, I hope to see you around,” he said instead as he ushered closer to the door. He shot his good hand in the air at alarming speed and was about to wave it about when he realised that he should probably walk the lady out.

And he asked her exactly that.

“Would you care if I walked you out?”

I am back from my time in recovery and I will be happy to pick up on the roleplaying I left for a while. It feels so good to be back and I am looking forward to expanding Ollic's experience!

Comments

That was a brilliant thread! I could really feel the pain both times your PCs injured themselves and were treated, but I also loved reading about their friendship evolving through all the drama. I wasn’t sure what to award towards the end, but if you’ve any questions or concerns, feel free to PM!
