[Okita returned earlier in the day and has since been trying to make his way back to the village with mixed results. Without his journal, he can't call for help even if he wanted to and he was dumped somewhere toward the south of the village at the tail end of the 18th, once the blizzard passed. He's got a stick and is using it to pick his way slowly through the snow, but seeing how he's been temporarily blinded and is nursing a broken right arm hidden in his kimono along with a head injury, this is an experiment destined to fail.

If anyone toward the lower half of the village is willing to find him? He'd like to get inside and stop freezing.]

[Here's an Akira patrolling to help New Feathers. Soujirou is not a New Feather but it seems he could do with some help.]

Soujirou-san!

[Running to him.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He stops and straightens up as best he can, trying to listen to pinpoint who is coming and where from. He turns his head slightly toward Akira as he hears him approaching.]
...

[Unfortunately, he can't tell the voice just yet.]
I'm alright. I just need to get back.

[20mask.livejournal.com]

But... But you're injured! Let me help you get to the clinic...

[Trying to reach over though he's unsure how to help exactly. Offer support? The stick already does that, though.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[Ah, now he knows who that is. He turns his head a little more toward where Akira is standing, being able to pinpoint his location finally.]

Ijyuin-kun...? I don't wish to bother Kamui-kun. If you could help me back to my rooms, I'm sure I'll be fine.

[20mask.livejournal.com]

But... Your arm... And head... You should have someone check on those!

[Still not noticing that Soujirou seems to be unable to see him. Anyway trying to get somehow a hold of him to guide him to the village]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I've survived much worse, I assure you. In the morning I'll go... just not right now.

[Oh hey, he's being pulled in a direction. He sort of stumbles, catches himself and starts following after Akira falteringly.]
Ah...what were you doing all the way out here, Ijyuin-kun? Isn't it a bit chilly out here for you?

[20mask.livejournal.com]

I was looking for new people, like me. One of my friends arrived shortly after I did, maybe the Chairman will come too. And I like helping.

[Eyes him suspiciously.]

Do you feel dizzy, Soujirou-san?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. I'm glad your friend came. Perhaps your Chairman will be along shortly...
[He tilts his head slightly and reaches up with his good hand, trying to find the source of the injury.]
A little, but it's nothing I can't withstand.

[20mask.livejournal.com]

[A little wouldn't make him stumble... Or would it?]

Do you hurt somewhere else?

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

[MOM!!! D8 I mean, is that...?]

Okita? [Heading to you as fast as he could with all the thick snow here.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

...Kouichi-kun?

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

What happened to you?

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I met our captors.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

Did they hurt you? [He does not like those Malnosso, at least, since the last time he got mallynapped, he couldn't speak properly.]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Not so much.
[Once he was unconscious at least. He fought like hell while still awake and that is why his arm is broken and he has that head injury. What a derpface.]
Well, just a bit, but that's probably because I tried to hurt them first.

[stalkingmybro.livejournal.com]

Well, okay...

I'll help you back. You don't look so well.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He climbs to his feet unsteadily and nods, wavering a bit.]

I'll be alright. I just need to know which way to go.

[Fast forward a bit to the clinic! Sonic brought over some supplies as usual, and noticed Okita on one of the beds. He set everything down and made his way over to him.]

Okita? Hey, you're back... Oh, man, they really did a number on you, didn't they?

[action]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Okita's probably just sitting up in one of the beds, resting against the wall. He doesn't recognize the voice right away and turns his head toward the source.]

...? Oh, yes, they did, didn't they? I'm sure I'll be fine if I just rest a bit though.

[action]

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

[Sonic was a little bit relieved that he was up and talking, but he was still concerned.]

But good to see that you're here and getting taken care of. Is there anythin' you need? I can get it for you, even if it's at your house!

[action]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[That'll earn a smile, even if it's a tired one.]
You're always so helpful. I think I just need to rest.
[WAIT, IDEA 8D]
Although...If you aren't too busy...? I've a terrible craving for something sweet and I can't find it myself, being stuck in here.

[action]

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

[He brightened and gave him a thumbs-up. Ah, you have asked the right person (hedgehog) about sweets.]

Nah, never too busy to help out my friends! Don't worry about it! Hehe, so what kinda sweets are you looking for? Anything you won't eat?

[action]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Nope! If it's sweet, I'll eat it! Is there anything you'd recommend?

[action]

[blue-velocity.livejournal.com]

Hm... I like ice cream a lot, but heh, maybe that's not somethin' you should be having yet since it's still cold outside. But there's lots of treats from the bakery, like cookies, and I can always check out the stores for candy too!

[action]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

But it's warm in here~ Maybe ice cream wouldn't be so bad? I've never had that before.
