WHO: Nessie Cullen and OPEN. WHEN: Mid-morning; September 27th. WHERE: Some random street. WHAT: Crash-landing arrival. RATING: TBA. (likely low) STATUS: In progress.
Landing had hurt a lot more than she had expected. Of course, she had been expecting to land in water rather than in the middle of a street. She wondered briefly if she'd been laying there long. It certainly felt like she'd been there forever, though chances were that she'd only been there a few minutes. After staring at the black tar of the road for a minute or two more, she decided that she should likely peel herself off the street and check out the damage. She didn't want anything to heal crookedly; it'd sucked enough breaking whatever she broke the first time, re-breaking anything would be doubly terrible.
Rolling over onto her back, she could feel that at least one rib was fractured, if not broken. She sat up slowly, not wanting to worsen any of the damage. Feeling her wrists, the left one sent pain waves up her arm. Fractured rib, sprained wrist. Slowly, she moved each part of her body checking to see what was hurt, and after a few minutes of that combined with surveying her surroundings Nessie had a good idea what the damage was. Two fractured ribs, a sprained wrist and sprained ankle, more than a few cuts, bruises, and scrapes, a completely shattered dignity, and, most importantly, she had no clue where she was.
Well, she knew that she was no where near the cliff she had driven off of, and she knew that she was in the middle of a street in a fairly down-run neighbourhood in a city she'd never seen before, but beyond that she had no clue to where she had landed. The damage to her body would probably take only an hour or so to heal, but being lost in an unknown city might take a whole day to fix. Not good.
After a few failed attempts of getting up she was able to stand up, and, while heavily relying on her non-sprained ankle, wobble up to the sidewalk, and plop down on the curve. At least now she wasn't about to be run over by car in addition to everything else.
