[In a decidedly unorthodox appearance onto the Plane, Zeronos appears nearly forty feet up in the air, falling at an angle. The Rider suit breaks apart and disappears almost immediately, leaving an already bruised Ryotarou unprotected as he plummets to the ground.

When he hits, it's with a loud cry of pain, and he's unable to stop himself from rolling for a few feet before stopping on his stomach. He lays there only a second before he tries to pull himself up, but it's too much and he loses consciousness before getting very far.]

If Gaoh can get to the end of God's Line... he'll be able to erase time as he sees fit.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Well that answers my question then.

[And he's about ready to set the arm.] Hey, kid? This might hurt a bit.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Wh-what? [Glances to Jackie, startled.]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Your arm is a mess. First thing's first, it'll need to be set. And that hurts like a mother fucker.

You might want to bite down on something.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Annnd his eyes go wide. He knows it's going to need to be set, but still!] Like... what?

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[...And after a moment, takes off his trench coat, and hands it to Ryo's good hand] I liked that coat too.

Alright. Lemme know when you're ready.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Th-thank you... [Still wide-eyed, he nods a little and tries rolling up the end of one of the sleeves before fitting it into his mouth, screwing his eyes shut and nodding.]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[No response to the thanks, but he does take the arm in his hands, before gets ready. And after a moment, and a deep breath...sets it back into place with the telltale sickening sound]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Good thing there's something in his mouth to muffle the short-lived scream. Seconds after the bone is set, he's blacked out.]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Great. He should have expected that. So he stares for a moment, and then reaches over and lightly slaps the side of his head, to see if the kid is completely out.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[No real reaction, sorry.]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Well...he does pull the coat out of his mouth, and looks at the sleeve. He'll still need to get it cleaned, but at least it's not destroyed. And then he continues doing the bandaging and stuff in silence.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[And Ryotarou starts to stir, groaning at the dull, throbbing pain in his arm.]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Still doing his work, but he does pop the painkillers open and hands them to Ryo.] Only take a few, but they'll help.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou blinks a little, then holds his good palm out for Jackie to pour a few in?]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Have a few.]

Hurt like a bitch, didn't it?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... I don't really remember. [And this would be Ryotarou trying to both sit up on his uninjured elbow and take the pills in the same hand. It's not really working.]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

...Okay, you're either going to need me to give you those pills, or me to hold you up so you can take em. [Holds his hands out in front of him, like a scale]

Take your pick.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... the second one sounds like it would be easier.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

Good choice. [And so, he goes ahead and helps prop Ryotarou up so he can pop some pills]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou tries to hold himself up a bit, then takes the pills and tilts his head back so they go down easier.]

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[And then gently puts him back down, before going over the rest of the kid to make sure everything is A-OK]

So. Taking it this Gaoh person put you through the ringer?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Lets his eyes close and nods a little. He's got various bruises, but no actual injuries thanks to Zeronos.]

Mm... That's right.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Bit of an unamused stare at you.]

Should I keep guessing here, or did you feel like talking about it a bit.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Talking about what?
