The sound of rushing, shuffling of feet, pulsated within the darkness. It was a maddening noise, a frenzy of some sort seemed to be swirling around him, but Roku could not see it. All that could be seen was darkness. What sort of darkness could perfectly engulf him? Was it a genjutsu? No, there was something that happened. His mind raced trying to think about what had happened, and maybe learn what was happening.
And in that moment, like a pressure suddenly being released, the darkness would disperse, his eyes would finally open. In a knee-jerk fashion his body would shoot up in a sitting fashion. The sudden return to light was overwhelming and his eyes would need a few moments to adjust. Once everything began to come back into focus he would finally notice his immediate surroundings; a hospital bed.
Tubes and wires were going into and coming out of his body. Pieces of medical seals were placed upon his body and the beeping of machines around him were faint, faint in comparison to the noise that was happening outside of his hospital room. Why was he here? How long had he been here? And just what in the hell was taking place outside that was causing such a ruckus. It was not what you'd expect to hear while in a hospital. It was loud. It was annoying.
Raising his left arm up he would begin to rip the medical equipment off of his body. Pain was never anything that affected him for too long thanks to his body, thanks to his genetics, thanks to his upbringing. And while he wasn't in pain, now standing free from the confines of his bed, there was one thing on his mind that he needed to obtain; booze.
His eyes would glance down at his body. Some new scarring and marks were covering his body, even more than he remembered. Whatever put him in the hospital must have been a doozy. It was time to go get some booze--answers. His tall frame began to make his way to the door of the room, preparing to reach out and open the door when he would suddenly pause. His glance would go to the full length mirror hanging on the wall. He was nude. Maybe, even if he felt good about his body, this was not the appropriate way to walk around a hospital.
Searching around he would find a pair of simple, white patient pants. They were not very thick material but it was better than no material. He looked around for a shirt but his search proved fruitless. That was fine for him though, it was socially acceptable for a patient to stumble out not fully clothed. Missing a shirt would not be too alarming.
Opening the door he would be greeted with frantic rushing of medical personnel. The sound of concern, of panic, the sounds that woke him, would be every where. Just what was happening, and just where might he find booze. Questions needed to be answered.
