{RL WITH ITSUKI AND PENELO} forward-dated to Sunday

[bentflame]

Azula was furious, as anyone who had spoken to her could tell. When she was angry, that tended to encompass everything else-- at least outwardly.

It was no different from acting under the influence of a virus. There was one thing that the doctor who injected her had said that she could agree with-- that she hadn't done anything of her own volition, and that anyone who thought otherwise was an idiot.

The moment she was released from the hospital, Azula took up her feather and worldhopped herself to Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, landing herself directly in the ICU so as to bypass any guards or "well-meaning" doctors who wanted to keep visitors out. She didn't know exactly where Dr. Cuddy's room was, so she began to wander up and down the halls, peeking through the window of each door she passed.

I have no angry penelo icons. :(

Azula would have probably had more warning about the approach of a furiously angry sixteen year old, but Penelo actually spotted her in the reflection of one of those large windows from around a corner.

And then there was a moment of inarticular mental keyboardmashing that could be summed up as 'She hurts all these people then has the nerve to come HERE?!?!?!'

So, a few moments later, she basically stepped around the corner, looking almost calm except for the fact that her hands are balled up into slightly shaking fists. And before the firelord can react, the normally calm Penelo has hauled off and punched her in the face. Surprisingly hard! Possibly hard enough to take her off her feet.

I have way too many angry Azula icons 8)

Oh, she did not have time for this.

Azula pinwheeled her arms, just barely keeping her balance-- and then shoved Penelo out of the way, quite a bit harder than was necessary.

"I didn't hurt anyone; if you're so upset, take it out on that doctor who injected me with that drug that made me do her bidding."

She started down the hallway again, careful to keep an expression of pain off of her face. Honestly, the little brat was lucky she hadn't broken her nose!

Penelo's such a tranquil spirit! I only even found One sad icon.

"You hurt LARSA!" She shouted out when the other pushed her out of the way, trying to deny any wrongdoing. And then she reached out to grab Azula and push her against a wall. Penelo may sound angry, but from hte look on her face she's pretty upset too. To the point of crying.

"He's in one of these rooms hooked up to machines and UNCONSCIOUS! And covered in burns and YOU did it to him!"

My, lookit her scream.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Oh, SHUT UP," Azula snarled shoving her off again. "I don't have time for you and your misguided claims!"

*snickers* Itsuki could get drawn by their screaming, that could trigger the confrontation.

[dancingonthesky.livejournal.com]

"Misgui...you did it and you're going to act like it wasn't your fault!?" Penelo sounds genuinely stunned, and doesn't react at first when she's shoved away.

"What are you even DOING here? Who let you in? Do they know it was you that BURNED all these people?"

What's that? Penelo is shouting to attract attention? Maybe...

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"SHUT UP!" If she was thrown out she'd just worldhop back in again, but that didn't mean that she wanted to take the time. And if the stupid little gnat didn't stop screaming... "If you don't understand the concept of mind control then I'm not going to bother to explain it to you."

She continued down the hallway, completely ignoring Penelo.

Penelo almost started shouting again but finally just let it go. She could yell at Azula another time, but she'd only left Larsa's room to find a drink.

For a moment though, she considered telling one of the guards the fire girl was here...But then decided she didn't want to take the time to track one down, really.

Besides if Azula stayed here, then when Larsa did finally wake up, Penelo could take the time to track the fire princess down and drag her to Larsa's room to apologize.

Itsuki had been chatting with the nurses at their station; he'd managed to convince them he was Cuddy's son weeks ago, despite the absence of any paperwork to confirm it, and had charmed them into letting him stay in the unit as long as he wanted. When he heard Azula coming from a distance, though, he nonchalantly made his way over to Cuddy's room and took up his station by the door, leaning on the wall and taking out his cell phone in an effort to seem preoccupied.

Azula (her nose bleeding slightly; she'd have to fix that) noticed Itsuki, she assumed that she had found what she was looking for. Without acknowledging him in any way, she approached the door, intending to go into the room.

[philoxidizes]

"Good afternoon," he said pleasantly, still not looking up from his phone. He sidled to one side unobtrusively, making it so she would have to go around him to reach the handle.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Excuse me," she said tightly, stepping around him.

[philoxidizes]

"Sorry," he said, maneuvering to block her way again. "She's not seeing visitors right now."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Excuse me?" This time her words held quite a different tone. "That's hardly your decision. I'm going in. In fact, I'm staying here."

[philoxidizes]

"Considering that I'm standing in your way, it would seem to be my decision, wouldn't it?" He still sounded placid and calm, even in this sort of situation.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"No." She pushed him aside, hand on the door handle.

[philoxidizes]

He leaned back towards her, grabbing her wrist in one hand. "I'll call security," he said mildly. "You should probably do something about your nose instead of forcing your way into rooms."

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She jerked away, going for the door again. "You get me thrown out and I'll just come back again. And again. And again. I'm staying here."

SORRYYYYYY

[philoxidizes]

"Why?" He tensed up, preparing for the very real possibility of her hurting him.

NO PROBLEM XD

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Why should I tell you? Is it any of your business? No." Grabbing the knob, she at once pushed open the door and shoved Itsuki out of the way-- not too hard, but hard enough that he could lose his balance if he wasn't prepared.

[philoxidizes]

He caught the doorframe and swung around to grab her shoulder. Muttering, so that the nurses wouldn't hear it, he said, "I was under the impression it was your fault she was here. That makes it my business, don't you think?"

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"Then you were obviously listening to the wrong people," Azula whispered furiously. "I was injected with something that made me do some other woman's bidding; I had no choice in the matter. An audio post of her attacking me was apparently posted to the community-- you're free to check that out if you want to, but I'm staying here."

With a final jerk, she released herself from Itsuki's grip and strode into the room.

[philoxidizes]

He followed her in, closing the door behind them and sitting down on a chair, crossing his arms with a smile. "I hope you don't mind company," he said mildly, in a tone that made it clear she didn't have much of a choice.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She sat down in a chair on the other side of the bed, crossing her arms and closing her eyes in an attempt to communicate exactly how little she cared about what he did. "Suit yourself," she said mildly-- but with a dangerous edge to her tone. "Just don't come near me again."
