[A. Streets]

[Walking home from the hospital, Mika moves slowly, finding things to rest against in her halting trip. Her head is bandaged and her limbs tremble from the strain. The weakness in her bad leg seems to have gotten much worse. Strange spidery blotches mark her legs, and her feet seem to be bandaged as well from what can be seen around her shoes.]

[B. 339 Brady Lane]

[When Mika pushes open the door, her voice is hushed as she calls out to her housemates.]

Quinn? Raz? Are you guys home?

[She will all but collapse onto the couch, curling up defensively.]

[He starts, pulling back slightly, before once again putting a steadying hand on her shoulder.]

What's happened? Why can't you hear properly?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

What? Beer? No thank you, I don't drink it.

[That rushing sound is really a bother, and she returns to leaning on her cane.]

[kinship]

[And off he goes looking for help... be alright, Mika.]

[eyesofafemsnake.livejournal.com]

Er... Sorry, sorry. I am Crowley. Just a bit of a change.

[He steps out of the car, stiletto heels clicking on the pavement.]

Come on, Mika. Let me take you somewhere.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa points at her ear, then Mika's, nodding and getting a notepad from her purse. ]

[ She quickly prints out her questions, "What happened?", "What do you need?" and "How can I help?" ]

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[Ahuuu, Cain she will feed you all the cookies. ;;]

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[Well, that certainly makes it easier.]

Lightning strike, need someone who can fix exploded eardrums. You know of anybody?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

What?

[She's squinting harder at him? Her? Straining uncomfortably to hear.]

I just want to get home, thanks. Or find someone that can fix this.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa nods and quickly scribbles a note. ]

[ "We have a few healers that might be able to help. You live with Quinn, right?" ]

[ She then goes to assist Mika to the house on Brady. ]

[eyesofafemsnake.livejournal.com]

I'll drive you home.

[He offers with a gesture to help her into the car.]

I tell you, seeing you like this makes me very anxious to get back to my full strength.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Quinn. I was going to call someone, but I can't hear. Wouldn't work very well.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about?

[She was having a hard time following what Crowley was talking about, mostly because of how hard she was working just to hear him.]

[eyesofafemsnake.livejournal.com]

[He waves his hand a bit dismissively, his nails painted a pristine red.]

Don't worry about it, Mika. In you get.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[She has a little trouble moving but she makes it into the car without injuring herself or somehow wrecking the car. So it's a success in her mind.]

[ooeeooahah]

[ As they walk, Ilsa is going to try to project some energy to help support Mika to the house, and comfort to palm some of the pain, with no idea if it will work for her, but it was something to try when they get her to the house. ]

[eyesofafemsnake.livejournal.com]

[Crowley slips in next to her in the driver's seat.]

Er... Where do you live?

[coolbowtie.livejournal.com]

Is there something wrong with your ears.

[He speaks slowly, loudly, and gestures to his ears at the end.]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

[Quinn walks downstairs after just barely hearing Mika, only to find her in a ball on the couch.]

Mika, did y-- Whoa, hey now. What happened?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head, pointing to her bandaged head.]

Sorry, Doc. My eardrums are blown out, I can't hear a thing you're saying.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

What?

[She peers at Crowley, brows furrowed.]

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[She can't make out what he said, but she has a feeling she knows what he's saying. He looks like he's freaking out, at any rate.]

Just got out of the hospital. Black Mage hit me with a lightning spell, blasted my eardrums out. I can't hear anything over the whooshing noise.

Also caught some spasm fits for my trouble. I feel like shit, Quinn.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

[Quinn does look a bit freaked, processing all this. He goes to say something, then stops. He darts into the kitchen and comes back out with a pad of paper and pen, and proceeds to write.]

Is there anything I can do? Who is Black Mage?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[She peers at the pad while he writes, sniffing dejectedly.]

Dunno, unless you know someone that can fix my head. Black Mage is a nasty little man who's been running around with a bag over his head lately.

Also did I mention he works at the hospital with me?

I'm sorry for how slow this is!

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

[Nina is right by her side, by then. Nina looks highly alarmed. Now that they're closer, she hopes Mika might understand her somehow. Worried, she repeats herself.]

I said, what happened to you?!

Totally fine! I don't mind. :3c

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Wha--?

[She's squinting at the other woman, like she's trying to read her lips. She still is talking much too loud, even though Nina's closer.]

What happened? Got hit with a lightning spell, it blew out my eardrums. I can't hear a thing over the rushing sound!
