Event Post 5 - In The Infirmary

[pendulum_soul]

*It had been two days since Yuya's duel with Daisuke (which took place on Monday), and he had spent that time in a really bad way in the Academy's infirmary. His fever had remained dangerously high, so to help combat it, the infirmary staff had hooked him up to an IV on his left arm, to make sure he got essential fluids (so he didn't dehydrate) and medication.
For most of this time, he had remained unconscious, but had been visibly uncomfortable due to the high fever.

Thankfully, late on Tuesday night, his fever went down to a much more acceptable level, and he was able to rest through the remainder of the night much more comfortably.

On the Wednesday morning, he finally regained conciousness, but he still looks and feels pretty awful.

If anyone wishes to visit him, then you may!*

... ... You learned your own Summoning method. By watching yourself.

On a video.

That sounds rather meta. ::Stares off thinking about that.::

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya laughs a little.*

It sounds a little silly when said out loud, huh.

[theheadmonarch]

Completely.

::Waves hands from center to the sides.::

[pendulum_soul]

*... he's not going to mention to her that it also took him 271 tries to completely nail it.*

But... yeah... the fact that I created Pendulum Summoning and I've now had this card come to me, which is also based around pendulums...

...what's going on...

[theheadmonarch]

"You're a wizard, Harry."

[pendulum_soul]

Ahhh, if only it was that simple of an answer.

[theheadmonarch]

Why can't it be. Off the record, happens to a bunch of people here.

[pendulum_soul]

What? They become wizards and magic up cards?

[theheadmonarch]

Not always either, but they do become supernatural, is the most I'll say. You could say it's a rite of passage for people here, the "greats", at least.

[pendulum_soul]

...I'd heard that special powers and abilities are sorta common here, but is it really a sort of "Eh, it happens" kinda common?

[theheadmonarch]

... I'd say roughly, let's go with. 20 to 50 people at any time might be gifted supernaturally. On average. Discounting staff.

[pendulum_soul]

Really? That's... a lot of people.
Well, at least Yuma and I won't feel like odd ones out.

[theheadmonarch]

I won't say who else is like you two, for their privacy, but they are around. So you're not alone. Just treat it as slightly weirder puberty.

[pendulum_soul]

*He laughs a little again.*

Guess that's one way of looking at it.

Thanks. This has made me feel a little better about everything.

[theheadmonarch]

Agreed. I think this is a good place to stop for today. You're free to come by my office whenever you'd like, Sakaki-kun. And I think whatever "power" you have, you'll use it responsibly.

::Stands up.::

Anything else you'd like to mention or ask before I go?

[pendulum_soul]

*He thinks, but shakes his head.*

I think I'm fine for now, but if I have anything else I need to talk about, I'll come to you.
I should probably get some rest anyway.

Thanks again.

[theheadmonarch]

Not a problem. Rest well, Sakaki-kun.

::Smiles and waves, as she leaves.::
