[Action] At the hospital

WHO: Anyone~
WHAT: Koishi is in the hospital after getting hit by a tank. Blame Keifka.
WHERE: Genessia Hospital.
WHEN: Backdated to Feb 5th-6th.
WARNINGS: Mild description of Koishi's non-human anatomy, injuries, and treatment. Overwhelming cuteness. Potential feels.

With the degree of damage to her bones and a punctured lung, there was no way to help Koishi without surgery and working on her had not been very easy for the doctors involved. Her internal anatomy didn't even remotely resemble a human's, despite having a similar appearance.

Fortunately the operation went well, the little youkai more robust than many of the humans that were normally worked on. Her bones had broken into fragments large enough to reassemble, and her healing factor eliminated the need for metal plates, the bone glue more than sufficient. Coupled with the blood transfusion from her sister Koishi was expected to make a full and speedy recovery.

***

Koishi was allowed a room to herself as she recovered to increase the ease of observation for the doctors and to minimize her bothering of the other patients. Much of her upper back and her entire left arm were wrapped in a rigid cast reinforced with steel rods. A plastic receiver for an IV had been placed in a large vein above Koishi's left shoulder, the cast wrapped around it an ensuring it wouldn't move.

While the surgery had been easy, her recovery was more difficult due to her boundless energy and impatience. The little youkai had already broken the plaster of several casts, the doctors finally buckling her down to the bed to keep her in place, though they were sure to keep her supervised via several cameras.

The icing on the cake was how ineffective anesthetics were on her metabolism. Anything oral had little to no effect. Painkillers given through an IV seemed to work well enough in youkai sized doses, though anything short of completely knocking her out failed to calm her. To make matters worse, the painkillers seemed to make her forget she was injured altogether, Koishi hurting herself more than once in her efforts to alleviate her boredom, and further justifying the heavy straps keeping hr in bed.

Other than that she was a pretty good patient. She allowed the doctors and nurses to run tests and tend to her. Perhaps only because it was something new to break up her day, but it no doubt helped them immensely. She did fuss some at first until her hat was returned, the beloved article currently hanging on a coat rack in one corner of the room.

So now, a day after the surgery, she was stuck. Strapped to a bed, ignoring the cartoons a kind nurse had turned on for her, squirming impatiently, dying for something to happen. For someone to visit.

"Not sure why you would want that. Meat's good, but variety is the spice of life! Sticking to one thing is just dullsville. Don't ever stop being yourself, kid."

"There are worse things. I didn't have a taste for bugs, when I was alive. Sure, they're delicious now, but there ya go. You can never tell what will affect your appetite."

"Yeah the chitin thing is a problem," Betelgeuse admitted. "It's probably best you don't eat bugs, anyway. It's not exactly a living sort of thing, know what I mean?"

He thought about her question, then shrugged.

"Aw, hell, kid. I eat anything. It's one of my trademarks. I do love pasta, though. Give me a good plate of lasagna and I'm on cloud nine!"

"Uh...if you're immortal, how come you can be injured? That just SUCKS," Betelgeuse objected. "You've never had lasagna?? Aw, I gotta take you out to eat! Lasagna is flat, pasta noodles layered between sauce, meat, ricotta cheese, mozzarella...it's the best thing!"

"Huh. Still a better deal than what I got," Betelgeuse grumbled, then laughed. "PASTA CAKE. That's brilliant! Yeah, it's totally a pasta cake."

"Yep. As soon as you get out of here, we'll have pasta cake and whatever else you want. Usually it has ground beef or some kinda pork sausage. Served? I don't know...just cut up into squares, I guess. It doesn't usually have a cherry, cherry tomato maybe, but whatever floats your boat."

"Yeah, sure, your sis can come," Betelgeuse agreed, indifferently. "This place would make anyone grumpy."
