There was no fanfare to herald Rukia's awakening. In fact, there was very little attention paid to her at all. When the time came, the crystal faded, and she opened her eyes. She was a little dazed, but not panicked. Honestly, she was more surprised that she woke up here at all. Her hand sought the back of her head, but found no trace of injury, and no traces of blood on her fingertips when she pulled her fingers forward to examine them.

Hm.

She cast a glance around the chamber of other crystallized heroes, then dusted off the furst of her Beastmaster uniform, and asked to be released.

They watched her nervously at first, but when it was clear she would exhibit none of the homicidal tendencies of the other crystal zombies from Halloween, the residents relaxed and asked her to remain at the hospital because guess what? She'd been murdered.

Rukia blinked hard at that. Had she...? She furrowed her brow, casting back her thoughts to the last thing she remembered. Something had hit her in the back of the head, but it happened so quickly that she hadn't suffered. Very well, she agreed. She would stay for the sake of the investigators who might have wished to ask her questions, but she didn't think she'd have much of value to give to them.

Her stomach growled, and she sighed. Hopefully they would ask their questions quickly, she'd woken up with quite an appetite.
