[... Hmm.]

Does it look like someone tried to get out of there with a hatchet, by any chance?

[wilsonsheart]

Actually, yes.

[Surprisingly. But that in and of itself is worrisome. Does she want to know the origin story of the great hatchet escape?]

You know where I am?

[coyoteking]

[He's just going to take a second and cover up his own embarrassment before replying.]

Yeah, I do. Don't worry about the hatchet thing, that was me. It's a long story. [No it isn't.]

If you can manage it, go straight west through the tunnel, not toward the other houses the other way. Around the curve is a hospital. You get in through the door just sitting by itself. There's a good chance you'll find medical supplies in there.

[wilsonsheart]

A hospital? That's great news! If I have time, I'm going to try to make it to one of the other houses--I'm guessing they're a little closer--just to see if there's anything I can use to make my walking a bit more stable. But then I'll head straight toward it.

[Amber sighs, her relief genuine. She's next to a hospital? That is an unprecedented stroke of fortune.]

Thank you. You've been a big help.

[coyoteking]

[This is... weird. It's going strangely well. She seems so goddamn normal. He wants to tell her about the shed where he found the hatchet- he was just there, so there's no way there'd be another one so soon, right?- but there's some weird gut feeling that makes him hesitate.]

Right, yeah. Good luck with that. You're... welcome? If you need help with medical shit there's a ton of doctors here. Just don't ask Stein.
