sickbay ✤ open ✤ 2 days after waking up → present

[akito]

So technically Akito isn't allowed to help out in the clinic. He's supposed to still be resting and recovering from his month-long bout of unconsciousness, but Akito isn't the kind of teenager that can sit still for too long; when confined to bed for an extended period of time he gets jittery and uncomfortable and all he wants to do is get up and get out and do something. Not even the threat of disappointing Steve Rogers, who has been ever the mother hen since Akito woke up, nor the quiet, maternal wrath of Beverly Crusher is enough to keep him immobile for long.

Steve has already stopped him from dismantling the biofunction monitor in his room so he could play Pong on it, while Dr. Beverly walked in as he was trying to rewire the biobed's sensors to create a small force field (and failing, to his utter heartbreak). Akito's positive the only reason he hasn't been kicked out of the Sickbay yet is because he's still regaining the muscle strength he lost while inactive for a month, in addition to suffering a major head trauma and retrograde amnesia, and therefore apparently supposed to be under medical surveillance for at least a week.

The most exciting thing that happens to Akito since waking up is the arrival of new passengers, meaning all sorts of interesting people stop by the Sickbay for quick examinations. Which also means everyone is preoccupied enough that Akito can help out by putting things back where they belong, or fetching fresh hyposprays for the clinic staff, or doing whatever he can to keep busy while also being an asset rather than a hindrance.


((ooc: come to the sickbay and encounter one busybody Akito! being the troublesome teenager he was born to be now that he doesn't have any pesky memories to get in the way. you can have your character bump into him as he's trying to entertain himself, or for new characters have him try to get them to feel more comfortable on this wicked awesome spaceship, or whatever other scenario you can come up with! clinic staff want to wrangle the kid back to his room? feel free to try! Plume the tooth fairy still follows him around closely, but Akito hasn't remembered the concept of the tooth fairy yet and so can't see her. :c ))
