[ At Titan's Call past around 2 AM, Yuri finds herself here because she couldn't sleep. Of course, she doesn't plan on drinking to a stupor for sleep aid, but she wanted to see what the bar was like after it's closing time. She's having so many new experiences lately.
She thought she would have been alone, but she sees Blade over near the counter. Regardless whether he's sitting or standing, he's tall... this man has nearly 30 cm on her. ]
[ Now that the ship stops having random quakes, Yuri invited Blade to the upper simulation room by text. She offered to fight him, worded into combat practice. When Blade eventually gets there, he'll see that they're basically in a wasteland and Yuri has a glowing "something like a sword" in her hand. ]
That sure sucked, didn't it? Blade wasn't expecting things to turn out that way, but then again it isn't like he had concrete expectations at all for the ending, so it is a little...hm.
As he is walking, he so happens to see Yuri make her way into the bathroom before turning around and heading out. That gets him to stop and raise a brow. ]
Blade is mostly walking around here or there following the culmination of that thrilling trial; perhaps it is more accurate to say that there'd be a preference for it to have not been so handwringing. But, regardless of that, what happened today seems to merely be a preview for tomorrow's eventual performance.
He steps into the halls nearby the rooms, and finds Yuri in the midst of...something. No greeting yet (he doesn't give typical ones anyway), but is she having trouble hauling things along? ]
[ Lobotomy Corporation, specifically Branch D-02, is currently undergoing lockdown. The halls are cold. The underground building is set for mass burial along with the employees and Abnormalities alike. It's to prevent Abnormalities from reaching the surface, they said.
In the midst of the sirens, the announcements blare throughout the underground building.
INITIATING SITE BURIAL.
People are screaming. They're frantic. Everything is dyed in a red light. With two eyes, you can see so much more. You're also wearing a suit with a green and red armband.
Blade has three minutes. He will know that if he wants to escape, he will need to allocate all three minutes towards that or else he's toast. The elevators are not working. He is right next to the stairs. The heavy metal doors will close in to trap him forever.
ENERGY TRANSFER IS 85% COMPLETE.
But in the distance, in the other end of the far hall, having tripped and with her hand reaching out to Blade, he will hear:
"Don't leave me behind! Blade!"
She is your friend. She is your coworker. She is...
Blade ends up making his way on over to the medbay soon enough; no reason to crowd people when others are making their way to help out or do who knows what. ]
It seems you were put through the ringer. But, you came out alive.
[ Which is, like, good. Blade would never say he is checking on someone but...that is probably what he's doing. ]
[ A lot has happened, but worst of all is that Blade can't act like all of it unaffected him. Unfortunate, though true.
The best solution to the problem would be to stay away, though he gets antsy, and finds himself heading into the medbay instead. Later and when there are less people crowding; of course when the healing has more or less settled in afterwards as well. ]
...This appears to become a recurring place for you to be, as of late.
[ This week is vacation week and she is going to get so much mileage out of this. Either way, she will invite ("coerce") Blade to the luxury spa. Yes, they have one on the ship, but this is a limited time spa! Let's freaking get this bread. ]
Ohh, I think the comprehensive package would do well for you, Blade.
[ Which includes massage (pick one), body treatment, aesthetic services, hands and feet therapy, and hair services. ]
[ Yuri is... actually in the rec room. Nobody comes here nowadays (probably) and she has several bottles on the coffee table while swaddled up in a blanket on the couch. She's watching shorts. They're cute and that's all it'll be as she scrolls down... down... ]
[ Yuri is in the medbay, waiting for Blade to wake. There are two others, but she thinks they have enough people hovering over them. Besides, she's feeling quite low-energy despite drinking coffee this morning.
She keeps herself busy by sitting on the chair and doing things on her IRIS.
She really put in 15 hours, so if Blade wants out, he'll have to bang on the pod lid. ]
By the time things come around announcement-wise, Blade happens to make his way straight into the simulation room. Though, he happens to spot Yuri seeming to take initiative already.
Blade isn't exactly in a hurry to get to certain things, but moving is definitely easier now that he's properly attended to himself. He makes his way to search for a certain someone, eventually coming into the Rec Room.
Once he does, can he get a glimpse at what Yuri is doing? ]
[ It's just another day in this hellscape, isn't it? But, before they get to doing whatever they need to do on the planet (because who knows how that is going to go), Blade is found at his usual place.
In the simulation room; all things considered? Not a terrible place to be, given the unfortunate sights settling over the ship. He's ensured the place seems to be somewhere in particular rather than not. So, good-bye to the fleshy horrors for however that lasts. Once Yuri enters, Blade turns to face her. ]
[ So many things happened and Yuri is all healed up and stuff, thanks to his efforts. Sorry she had to make the happiness temple visit short by blowing up a molotov in her hand (she was distracted). ]

Soon enough, Blade is walking into it to witness Yuri is where she happens to be; at the observation deck. ]
