Brighteyes McStabbass, Party of Two

[myironeyes]

[Spam in the infirmary, shortly after this thread.]

[Marsh arrives gingerly bearing an unconscious, injured Riddick. He has several damaged ribs, a dislocated shoulder, and possibly a conscussion. Marsh answers questions curtly and does not interfere with Infirmary staff, but nor does he allow himself to be sent any farther that a few feet from Riddick's bedside. He's angry and worried and agitated, not that anyone who didn't know him well would be able to see it among his usual scowls.]

We have reason to believe he is not in his right mind. Are there restraints available?

[OOC: open to Infirmary people, whether official or just hanging around there, and to anyone who knows about the fight and wants to check in on Marsh and Riddick before Zane's announcement.]


[Spam slightly later, near/after Zane's public query, for Riddick and then Ben]

[Riddick wakes up, ribs taped, his shoulder back in its socket and wrapped with an ice pack, wrists and ankles in metal cuffs, with Marsh looming attentive and still beside him.]


[Private to Iris]

[He's even more shut down than usual.]

Please come to the infirmary. Riddick appears to be one of those modified.

You can...help. Right?

[Please.]

[He's seen steel handcuffs around, once or twice.]

Metal shackles would be best. We can leave them unattached if he is not immediately agressive, but I can use them to hold him if he is.

You don't use metal shackles in an infirmary for a variety of reasons, especially for a patient who will struggle.

[ Instead Bruce secures very broad, multi-layed leather-and-cloth straps. The buckles in them are metal at least, but the restraints themselves are not. ]

Hmmm.

[He supposes they will do.]

How bad is he?

[Marsh has a decent sense - he's patched people up, here and there, on the all-two-frequent occasion when no one better was available, but he's not any kind of medic.]

Hurting, but it's not life threatening from what I can discern. The damage to his mind...

I can't even begin to fathom.

[Darkly]

I can.

I'm sure there are others who can. [ He doesn't know what to say to that, that so many on the barge could understand... ]

[ In the end, he's satisfied Riddick is secure. ]

Don't worry, we'll get it handled. In the mean time, he's safe here, and he can't hurt me. The others-- [ Debatable ] I'll see to his care personally until this is fixed.

[He nods. Acceptance, and a little bit of gratitude, in his brusque way.]

I'll stay.

I won't be far.

[ Bruce just smiles thinly, and heads for another part of the infirmary to do his work and be less intrusive. ]
