[OPEN]

Who| John Watson and OPEN
What| John's been having a lot of trouble sleeping and settling since waking up in the Capitol, and so is doing a lot of wandering for wandering's sake, catching up with friends (or at least people who haven't murdered him) and going on adorable coffee-dates with Effie Basically this is here to catch all
Where| Wandering around the capitol
When| Any time after his death, just let me know when you want to set things in the title of your reply pls
Warnings/Notes| Possible mentions of PTSD?

Death, John decided, was something no-one should have to live through. Where being shot and being absolutely certain he was going to die had been terrible, and had taken months of physical and psychological rehabilitation, dying and being brought back in a perfectly functional body was much more of a disorientating disconnect. He felt detached from reality.

Before Sherlock had rejoined him in the Capitol, John had spent much of his time trying to prove to himself that he was actually here, not always consciously. He walked as far as he could along the streets, visited strange little cafes and bars and hauled himself back to his suite, exhausted and burned out, hoping he'd be too tired to dream. His mood lifted a little once his friend returned, and there were a few notable people whose company he not only enjoyed but looked forward to enjoying, but the itch to get out for the sake of getting out only intensified the longer the days dragged on. There was nothing comfortable about life here, no routine he could settle into and feel like he had a handle on. The long and short of it was, he was useless here in the Capitol, and it was eating away at him.

"You didn't have much time to prepare then." Shion realised, he had been in this city more than a week now, he didn't think he would ever be ready for an Arena though.

He managed a tiny smile in return, feeling a bit more confident.

"You're a doctor?" He blinked again, interest showing in his eyes. "What kind of doctor? What did you specialize in?"

His nervousness seemed to abate, making room for curiosity.

His excitement faded a little when he saw the strained smile, worried that he had said something to offend or bring back bad memories.

"At least you will be able to help people even if it is just a little."

"Well..." He gave a sheepish grin, "I was sort of running a city, on a council of those who ran it anyways... But that's a new thing and definitely not something I ever saw myself doing."

He shrugged.

Shion shook his head and looked down, "They've made their opinions on my ability to make decisions clear."
