((OOC: Otherwise entitled 'Sougo and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.' Anyone who notices Lacus' very conspicuous absence is welcome to call her or drop by her place in the afternoon, though they might have to contend with a grumpy roommate who's having the worst day ever!))
***

[Waking in an unfamiliar place isn't half as troubling as knowing that she can't, at the moment, leave under her own power. Gingerly, Lacus assesses herself, grateful for the bandages on her neck and less so for the tender side of her face that is doubtless an ugly, mottled purple. Even less encouraging is how weak those few moments of movement have left her. Coordinators are quick to heal, but still human.]

[A quick assessment of the morning's postings tells her that the visitors from yesterday were indeed temporary. If that's in any way a relief, it's tinged with bitterness nonetheless. Indignation for this place and its constant manipulations will have to wait, however, as she has calls to make. It won't do for people to worry that she too has vanished without a trace.]

[Voice/Private - Sougo Okita]
Sougo? [Immediately, she regrets making the call herself. Her voice is weak and thin, no way he won't worry. She hates to do this after he's lost his sister. But surely Data's close by, she trusts that he wouldn't leave her alone like this, so he can help her explain things.]

[Voice/Private - Sam Merlotte]
[She waits until afternoon to call Sam, when perhaps she could sound a bit less upsetting. Unfortunately she can't muster much more energy and so probably sounds just as worrying, but she can't wait any longer before she's late for her shift.] Sam? I'm sorry, but [she has to take a breath before she can go on] I won't be able to come to work for a few days.

	Where are you? Why didn't you come home? [She sounded terrible, and while he is concerned, he can't help but to be incredibly selfish. Didn't she know that his sister was here? That he would need to be comforted? That he would be grieving over his sister all over again?!] What is going on?! (Reply to this) (Thread)

[She does know, painfully so, that she's not where he needs her, and can't give what he needs. If she were able, it's all that would be on her mind right now.]

Something happened... [Her hesitation is not only a lack of breath, but regret. Of all the times for this to happen.] I've... been hurt. [Given how she barely has a voice at all, that's an extreme understatement.]

	[Sougo gasps. She's hurt?! This is so much worse than he thought! He just wants to cry and punch things even more.] Who... Who did it? Who hurt you? Where are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[If Lacus had the energy to spare, the might sigh. The first concern of the men in her life is always who did it, and that makes her so sad.]

I'm... [she glances around, and comes up empty. 'In an apartment' is not much help. So she clicks the button on her communicator which will broadcast her location to him.]

Please... I want to go home. [Her voice is tearful enough that she dares not speak more. She'll tell him everything when she's surrounded by her own walls, all the things that remind her of the good times and people she's having trouble recalling just now, just please don't leave her alone another minute.]

I'm coming.

[He doesn't wait a second longer. Nothing was going to stop him from getting to her as quickly as possible. The most stressful part of all this is that he doesn't yet know what happened, so this could be much more worse than he could ever imagine, and that didn't sit well with him. At all.

When he gets to the apartment, he contemplates knocking loudly for a split second before remembering that that could cause a ruckus, which would be a terrible idea. This isn't the time to be drawing attention to himself.

While he is afraid of what he'll find on the other side, he lets himself in. He was a cop, is what he thought himself. He has seen it all, so he shouldn't be afraid. But he is.]

I'm... I'm here, Lacus.

[Data made a makeshift clinic in one of the bedrooms, bandages and other assorted medical implements on a bedside table. Lacus managed to nearly lose consciousness again in the short time it took Sougo to arrive, but even disoriented there's no way she couldn't react to that voice. Whether his fears are telling in his tone or not, Lacus swears she can hear them. And she wants nothing more than to spare him that.]

[She can only turn her head so much with the heavy bandages on the side of her neck, but there's no covering the huge, ugly bruise on the left side of her face. It stands out all the more with her skin so deathly pale.]

Sougo... [She reaches out a weak hand.] Thank you for coming.

	[As soon as he sees her hand, he quickly goes over to her and holds onto it. He looks at her, her bruising and her bandages quietly for a minute, taking it all in. This is the most upsetting day he's experienced in the prison, what with having lost his sister again, and now this... So incredibly upset that he was trembling.] Are you... gonna be okay?
