I'll spread my wings [Action/Video]

[charcoalfeather]

[The week was drawing to a close and Rakka wasn't feeling very good about it. There was some sort of strange light in the sky above Vegas, whatever it was apparently matched the light that appeared over Locke city. She hadn't seen anything stranger than normal in the city, and her illness had even disappeared in the last few days. Maybe it would even go away finally and she wouldn't have to worry about some sort of weird, angel flu anymore.

Today had even seen Rakka going outside, taking a short walk around the city and doing some odd errands. A soft breeze blew past her as she made her way down a sidewalk towards home. As always she kept her hat on and her hoodie drawn up over it. There was no way she was ready to show her halo just yet. Maybe later, but not now.

She continued walking before something made the student stop and look down. Laying on the sidewalk a few feet in front of her was a ring of keys. Did someone drop them? She couldn't just leave them here, could she? Slowly, after looking to see if anyone was around, she reached down and picked them up.

And promptly collapsed to the ground as she felt a wave of nausea rolled over her. All at once she felt her body temperature spike to high levels. The pain in her back even came back with full force, along with some sort of... pulling feeling that left her unable to get up again.

Oh god, was she dying? This illness was really killing her? Panic quickly set in and Rakka dove for her phone as fast as she could. When the video finally comes on it'll show the girl's pale face on the ground, sweat forming on it as she weakly tries to speak.]

....H-help... Someone please help me...

Video to action later?

[Oh shit.

OH SHIT.

Raye sits bolt upright when the video pops up onto her laptop, concern all over her face as she sees the state Rakka's in.]

Rakka? What's going on?

Sure!

[charcoalfeather]

I don't know...

[Rakka struggles to move, fear clear on her face.]

I think... I echoed some kind of illness.

[guitar_case_vagabond]

[Whatever it is, the fear and pain on Rakka's face is all she needs. She switches from her laptop to her phone, already on her feet and shrugging on a jacket. She pauses for a moment to shout off screen.]

Hey, go next door! I have to take care of something! .... I said go next door!

[She turns back to the video.]

Where are you?

[charcoalfeather]

[It takes her a moment to comprehend, but Rakka shifts slowly and turns the phone towards a nearby street address.]

Hurry...

[guitar_case_vagabond]

[Damnit, that's a good distance away, but even so.]

I'm coming. Hang in there, okay?

[originaloddcouple]

[Cue ALL THE PANIC.]

Rakka?!

What's going on?!

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

I'm sick... and I think it's getting worse...

[God, why did she decide to let it go on this long.]

Raye called an ambulance for me and I guess I'm going to the hospital now...

[Video]

[originaloddcouple]

[PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC oh okay.]

THAT'S GOOD! THAT'S A SAFE PLACE!

YOU STAY SAFE, ALRIGHT?!

[Video]

[charcoalfeather]

I'll... I'll try.

[That's all she can do, right?]

I'll try and keep you guys posted, I guess.

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

[He wants to help, especially before someone unnumbered does or a scene gets made.]

Where are you?

[Maybe her situation has already changed; maybe not. Either way, it would be good to know.]

[Audio]

[charcoalfeather]

On a... sidewalk.

[Her breathing is slow and hearable. The pain she's feeling has lead to speaking being difficult as a result.]

I'm getting help.

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

Good... please tell me when you've received it, or if you don't.

[Audio]

[charcoalfeather]

[The reply comes a few days later, when she's finally out of the hospital and found a place to stay.]

Hey, I got help.

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

[ Have another: ]

Where are you?

[Voice]

[charcoalfeather]

I'm going to the hospital.

[Her voice is quiet and tired. This was exhausting her.]

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

Okay. Good. What happened?

[Voice]

[charcoalfeather]

My back started hurting terribly and I got a really high fever.

I'm not sure what's happening but I'm kind of afraid it'll kill me.

[Voice]

[espigeonage]

Rakka! Hey. Breathe. See if there's a position you can get in that's more comfortable.

Is this this thing you were talking about before?

[Voice]

[charcoalfeather]

[It's kind of hard to move when you're uncomfortable everywhere but she tries.]

Yeah... I think it is.

[espigeonage]

[She didn't go to the clinic, he thinks, but doesn't bring it up.]

Can you say what kind of pain it is? Is it like a wound, or a pulled muscle, or?

[charcoalfeather]

[No, she didn't. She was feeling pretty good before this actually.]

Like, something's pulling in my back... in two places.

[vetala]

What's happening? Where are you?

Text;

[charcoalfeather]

[Oh god, texting. Hard to focus.]

I suddenly gto rlly sick. Hurts a lot going to hospital

Text;

[vetala]

Be careful. If it's something related to the network, don't let them catch on there.

[Because she did show some concern for Kanti, and the least Kanti can do is return it.]

[charcoalfeather]

I'm afraid it might be, but thanks.

[It is. Things are about to get a lot more troublesome for her.]
