[OPEN] | action

Who: Sam ([personal profile] pumpkinbutt) & anyone!
Where: Locke City Hospital & nearby park
When: Monday Feb 3rd; late afternoon/evening
What: Getting her usual check-ups and enjoying being out of the house for a while.

[Park: Closed to Philip]
[ The first batch of appointments are done for the day, and honestly? Sam's ready for a breather. The constant being helped in and out of one of the hospital's cheelchairs, the exercises, response tests... It's a lot! So when she's finally given a moment to relax Sam knows exactly where she wants to be wheeled: a nearby park just a block or so off from the main hospital grounds.

It's huge or grand or anything but it's outside and the cooler, fresh air makes her feel better already. Ultimately she asks to be set near one of the benches along the paths that run through it, and it's from there she'll sit with a blanket over her lap and for the moment just enjoy things as they are. ]




[Evening: Hospital (OPEN)]
[ ...And then later it's back to a few more appointments. Mostly routine stuff followed by a consultation by her family doctor but it does take a while for everything to get compiled and set up so Sam decides to busy herself with her 3DS while she waits both between appointments and after, eventually winding up near the cafeteria. Her aide's run off to fetch something for her to eat (since ew, hospital food).

At least there's no more tests to be done by that point so she's able to wear her clothes like normal and sit at an actual table, chair folded up and off to one side. ]



[[ ooc; first option is closed but the second's open to anyone who'd like to meet Sam, prearranged or not! She is disabled and has to use a wheelchair to move around, just as an fyi *^*b ]]

[Yoko's gotten familiar with the confused expressions of people who recognize her face when she isn't wearing her volunteer nametag, and it doesn't really ruffle her feathers. Mostly she's just glad she got the name right.

And she surprised her. Small victories!
]

Not a big deal. [A beat.] I'm Yoko, I volunteer in the ward.

[She leans over, just a little, her hands linked behind her back.] Are you waiting for someone?
sucrosity: (dere)

It's fine, it's fine! I forget names of stuff all the time.

[And by that she means 'names of famous historical figures' and 'chemistry terms', but no harm, no foul!

She straightens up, nodding.
] Good call. This stuff gets real old, real fast. And I think the Jell-o's actually making my dad crazier.

[The last is hopefully as clear a joke as she intends it. She looks at the closest seat.]

Do you mind if I sit here while you wait?
sucrosity: (downward)

Yeah, you and me both. [ She grumbles - ] Stupid Flappy Bird.

[She pauses to drag her stuff down the length of the table, and settles down in the chair.]

He's been... better. There was an accident. Most of the surgeries are over, at least? [She kind of shrugs.] We'll have to see. It's only been a couple of days, so... [For a moment she looks serious, and then shakes it off, with a genuine, if small, lightening of her expression.]

What's Jeremy getting you? Anything good? [She reaches for the shopping back among her things and peels out the plastic container with her dinner in it.]
