@aquaren@ She picked up her head, turning to the new voice. "Hello, young man. You're in Central City Memorial, and from the look of it, you seem to have gotten yourself into quite a bit of trouble. I'll see if I can't round up your doctor." Aquaren smiled at her daughter and swept out of the room.  "Hi! I'm Carmen. Sucks to wake up in a hospital bed, huh?" Carmen had turned and was carefully balancing herself on one palm, grinning as if getting concussed was just a normal, everyday occurrence. "You look like you got in a fight too. I hope the other guy looks twice as bad." |

 The ferret looked towards the two... well... from his point of view it was two moving blobs, and blinked blankly a few times. "Hospital?... But... Why am I here? The... last thing I remember is..." He suddenly went silent as realization hit him like a sack of bricks. The ferret's eyes grew wide as he remembered what had happened to him just prior to ending up here. He looked around nervously and discovered, much to his dismay, that even as his vision slowly cleared up, he still did not recognize anyone in the room. "Oh... Oh no... They're not here, are they? Guys? Matt? Shaun? Liz? Anyone!?" Panic rising in his voice, the ferret tried to sit up in his hosptial bed, a move he immediately regreted. He let out a cry of pain as his body protested against the sudden movement, falling back onto the bed with a loud thump. Apparently, when the morphine wore off, it wore off hard. "Gah... Solaris dangit..." |

 The fossa blinked, moving back slightly as Nate tried to sit up. "Uh... easy, dude. You were prolly through a lot." |

"Yeah, you should wait a little. Don't wanna hurt yourself more, like... well, me." Carmen offered him a sheepish smile. "I'm sure your friends are in some waiting room somewhere. Skater had to tell them I was family before they'd let him sit here. Hospitals are weird like that, I guess." |

The ferret just shook his head. "No... No... We were all attacked. Some gang of reptiles jumped us. We tried to hold them off, but they were too strong..." He turned his head and saw his personal items lying on the floor next to his bed, along with his fighting staff leaning against the wall. He had always thought that he was rather good in combat when using his staff. Apparently, he was wrong. "I ran off to try to get help. They found me, but I don't think they went back for the others." He sighed and brought a hand to his face, as if he was frustrated that he didn't do more. "I think the gang was after Liz. Something about her being a reptile and the rest of us being mammals..." |

"A gang against mammals? That's... totally uncool, bro." |

"Heh, you're telling me..." the ferret chuckled uneasily, "I just wish I had gotten a better look at them. Too busy trying to keep everyone alive to pay attention to details..." He tried moving again but, upon feeling a dull pain throb through his arm simply from trying to lift it, quickly flopped back down into a completely relaxed position. As much as he hated to admit it, he knew there was no way he'd be able to go looking for his friends in this condition. He had no choice but to simply lie there, not knowing if they were alright or not. With a sigh, he turned back to his roomates. Now that his vision had finally cleared up, he could easily make out the fossa standing near him and the otter lying in the bed. "Well, I guess since I'm gonna be here a while, we could probably try to get to know each other better, right?" he suggested, trying to force a smile as he looked at the otter, "You said you were Carmen, right? I'm Nate. Nate the Ferret," he glanced over at the fossa, "and you are?..." |

"Everyone just calls me Skater, bro." The Fossa grinned, adjusting his hat a little. |

"Skater, huh? Nice to meet you." Nate shifted into a position where he was at least sitting up a bit, so that he could get a better view of his roomates. The result was some dull pain, but it was mild enough that he was able to ignore it for the time being. "So... What about you two? What happened to get you landed in here?" |

Carmen scowled, leftover anger flashing in her eyes. "I got beat up by some-" A bevy of Spanish curses flew through her lips. "Hyena. I got him good, though, he won't pee straight for a week." There was some obvious pleasure in her voice at the thought. "Then I quit my job, went skating and passed out, now I'm here." |

Nate let out a chuckle. "You got in a fight, too? At least it sounds like you did a far better job than I did. Maybe I should take some notes from you once we're both able to walk again." |

Carmen grinned, and raised one arm in a showy, bicep flexing pose. "I'll teach you everything I know. You won't get beat up too easy anymore, I promise." Of course, she'd still lost a fight with her current knowledge. But that loser had also been a cheater. Hand to hand, no weapons, she would have made a fool out of him. Which, of course, was probably why he was using the weapons in the first place. "...When are they gonna spring us from this place, anyway?" |

Nate just sighed. "I dunno... I just woke up, after all. And even when I get out, I have no idea where to go. I want to find the others, but I don't even know where I could start." The ferret looked back at the other two and cracked a small smile. "... Well, at least I got you two now, right?" |

The fossa grinned, giving the ferret a thumbs-up. "You bet, bro. Least till Carmen's outta here." |

Carmen grinned as well. "Sure thing. Us beat-up people have to stick together, right?" She laughed.. then winced. "Ouch. Laughing makes my head hurt, let's not do that too often..." |

"Heh, right..." The ferret paused to think over his options at the moment. On one hand, he really wanted to figure out what happened to Matt, Shaun, and Liz and make sure they were all okay, but as he had just said, there was really no way he could even begin to do that. Not only that, but he really didn't have any idea where he was. After all, the reason he had headed out with them in the first place was so he could explore more of Gaia. Well, it looked like he had gotten his wish... in the worst way imagineable, being lost and alone in a hospital room. Well, not entirely alone... he had Skater and Carmen to keep him company while he was recovering. But even then, that would only be until they left the hospital and parted ways. After that, he'd be on his own again. ... Unless... Well, it wouldn't hurt to ask, right? "Hey, guys?..." Nate began, "What are you planning on doing once you get out of the hospital?" |

Skater glances at Carmen, blinking a little, before he shrugs. "Well, Carmen's gotta stay off her feet once she gets out..." |

"Yeah, I'll probably be sitting on the beach, eating chilidogs and gaining weight. You're welcome to come visit. If there was ever a place to recoup, Resort Island is it." |

"Resort Island, huh? I grew up on an island myself," the ferret replied, thinking out his next few words carefully, "I think I may end up taking you up on your offer, though. I... don't really have anywhere else to go at the moment. You guys... wouldn't mind if I tagged along with you when you go back, would you?" |

"Sure, the more the merrier." Carmen grinned, a little weakly at Nate. Her head was starting to pound again. "I don't have a problem with it. And Resort Island is full of hotels, I'm sure you could find some place to stay." |

Nate let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't much, and it probably wouldn't bring him much closer to his ultimate goal of finding the others, but at least he had something to do when he got out of here, even if it was just recover in some place a bit prettier than a hospital room. And hey, if fortune was smiling on him (perhaps unlikely to persume considering what had just happened to him, but he could hope), then maybe, just maybe, with the help of these new friends, he'd be able to find his old ones. "Great!" Nate replied, smiling as he gave the two of them a thumbs-up, "In that case, consider me part of the team!" |
