[log] losing pieces [closed]
Characters: Al, Billy, and Gabriel. After the event (hopefully) Tadashi
Date: Day 355 - 356
Location: Building 131
Summary: Al meets up with Billy and Gabriel. After the event, Tadashi might join them.
Warnings: None yet.
131: The roof of a large, square hospital. At first, it seems like this is as far as you can go--but actually, there's a door on the rooftop. It's locked, but there's a card key reader attached. As for what spared it from having its parts stripped? It was frozen over with ice, though not any longer. The building can now be entered from the rooftop. Above this door on the interior side, a mark has been stained into the surface.
The hospital is eerie in its silence, and snow presses in against many of the windows, keeping much of it in sterile darkness. It still smells like a hospital; the antiseptic is fresh, and there isn't much dust. Someone must be cleaning it, and yet it's clear no one is here. The hospital is four stories high with one basement, all connected via the elevator lobby and staircase. Unfortunately, the wall of the elevator lobby has been torn open all the way down, exposing it to the bitter air outside. While you can explore and remain on most of the floors of the hospital at night, you cannot travel between them until it's daytime once more, as the lobby seals itself up at curfew. The staircase is its own separate enclosed area, but it too seals itself off from the lobby at night, so you'll be spending an uncomfortable night on the staircase if you get stuck there.

IF ANY ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED CONTACT @LELRIC ANY TIME. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO, TRAVELLING SOUTH.

"ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE, CONTACT @LELRIC FOR ANY ASSISTANCE." is written on one of the walls. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE, CONTACT @LELRIC FOR ANY ASSISTANCE NEEDED" is written on one of the walls. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO, PLEASE CONTACT @LELRIC FOR ANY ASSISTANCE." is written on one of the walls. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY TWO HUNDRED AND THREE, FOR ANY ASSISTANCE PLEASE CONTACT @LELRIC." and "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE, CONTACT @LELRIC FOR ANY ASSISTANCE." are written on one of the walls. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX, CONTACT @LELRIC FOR ANY ASSISTANCE." is written on one of the walls.
Floors four and three are identical, large waiting areas lined with rooms. There are seven four-bed rooms, ten two-bed rooms, eight split rooms, and two VIP rooms. Each room is in pristine condition, although not decorated, but all of the rooms have been obviously gutted of their electronic components with surgical precision. As it is, it seems more like a very peculiar hotel without all of the standard equipment you would find in a hospital. The nurse's base on each floor is essentially identical in design, although there are a few different things scattered on each that seem to vary day by day.
Floor two seems more serious in its tone--this seems to be main surgical area, meant for quick access, and there are two admissions areas--regular and VIP--that prove this, although in both areas the doors that would open to outside of the hospital are permanently sealed due to being covered in snow. Aside from the admissions areas, there's a laboratory, pharmacy, administrative office, several clinics, and four operating rooms. They're a bit interesting--this hospital is not especially large, not meant to accommodate many, and yet the operating rooms have multiple beds. Close inspection reveals one center bed that seems to have been there longer than the others: this bed is attached to the floor through a system that seems to be able to lock and unlock with the press of a button near the base. The others aren't operating tables so much as repurposed metal tables, placed with more hurry and less care. Everything gleams with cleanliness, and there are certainly a lot of blank places where proper electronic equipment could go, but it's all missing.
The first floor has both more and less relaxed areas. There's an operating room down here, too, as well as another sort of laboratory, and a large section of this floor is taken up by labor delivery. The hospital has a generally oppressive atmosphere, but this area is marginally less so. Only marginally, though. The rooms in the delivery wing are larger than the rooms upstairs, with a more private atmosphere, but there are extra beds in here, and even VIP delivery isn't private on first blush. A closer inspection reveals the rooms only really seem fit for one of the beds. Others must have been added later for some reason. The lobby is very large here, with plenty of seating available for waiting. There's a door that works, also, opening to the south into a small, empty parking garage and finally revealing the rest of the ice tunnel area. During the day, at least. It's locked at night like everything else. There are finger-sized slits cut into many of the mattresses. One of the bathrooms on the first floor has signs of a fire having been set, with scorch marks. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO, CONTACT @LELRIC FOR ANY ASSISTANCE" is written on the wall. "ALFIE SOLOMONS, 1922. Camden Town, London, England, UK, Europe, Earth. Day 165, February 24." is carved into the wall. Underneath the RECEPTION sign is the following, scrawled in black crayon:
"NⓍ NIMA
where is it?
73 74 69 6c 6c 20 73 65 61 72 63 68 20 69 6e 67"
The elevator lobby area is of note here--as this is the first floor, it is where the torn up wall finally meets the ground, and now it can be used as an exit to the west, if you would like to see where the tunnels in that direction lead.
Then there's the HDU and ICU, and stepping past any of the doors into this wing makes the tense atmosphere apparent. It was probably more organized once, but there are countless tables scattered all around. Tables and beds and all sorts of repurposed things, even outside of the various small rooms where emergency situations were supposed to be being dealt with. Whatever happened, this hospital was pressed far beyond its standard operating capacity. There's a large entrance to the hospital here, and while it seals up at night, it opens to the east, revealing more tunnels in that direction. Two of the vent grates on this floor have been opened up with a screwdriver, though the holes are far too small for even the smallest person to fit through.
And then there's the basement. It's the only area in the hospital more oppressive than the ICU, and stepping out of the elevator lobby reveals it instantly as a morgue. It takes up the entire basement area, with plenty of room to store bodies and perform autopsies, although the tables seem to be missing (want to go on a scavenger hunt? They were moved upstairs and can be found in the ICU, even though moving these tables required unbolting them and cutting metal bits apart). The later it gets, the eerier and more suffocating the basement seems. This is a revival point. You cannot stay overnight in the morgue area. "Wilson, if you can see this, leave a message somewhere I can find." is written on the wall in blue chalk.

Again.
The hospital seems quiet when he gets in just before lockdown and stands like a statue in front of the closed door, before all of a sudden the injustice of it all and his rage just pour out of him. He gives a loud shout and punches the wall, a loud clang of metal on metal that reverberates out in a deafening noise.]
...good job, Al.
[A low and grumpy mutter to himself.]
Call all the anomalies to where you are.
no subject
Al?
[ The way he asks, he's clearly wondering if there's any particular imminent danger they have to watch out for. As glad as he is to see his friend, he's never heard Al sound quite like that before. ]
no subject
You're here!
[It's slightly less enthusiastic than it would be usually.]
I wasn't sure.
no subject
Yeah, I'm here. What happened?
[ It's so good to finally see Al again, but something is clearly wrong. ]
no subject
Tadashi.
[His voice lowers to just above a whisper.]
I couldn't protect him.
no subject
[ The words are solemn, and he's not going to try and say maybe Tadashi will be back. He pulls away from the hug. But he leaves a hand on Al's upper arm, just to leave a point of contact. ]
It's been getting worse lately.
no subject
[But that must have been it, right? People don't just disappear for nothing.]

Day 356; post injections. Warning For Injuries
Practically growling under his breath, as he starts trying to rip off the bandages. Pulling off the ones from his face and arms without any care and reopening from of the cuts and wounds. He just needs it off right now and is on a verge of PANIC.
Help or try to calm him down? ]
B. Simple and Clean [ He's bandage free, in his regular clothes, and his hair is wet. Looks like he took advantage of the running, cold water in the hospital to calm down and clean up. The cuts, bruises, and scrapes are easier to see on his face, but the rest of him is pretty covered. The wounds seem to be healing.
He's taking a knee by his stuff to paw through it. Checking all the things to make sure Miller didn't mess with anything. He looks visibly relieved when he sees it's all there, including a book. ]
If I ask, do you think the admin will let me kill him?
[ Not clear who he's asking, but it's there. ]
C. Stranger Danger [ Belatedly, he realizes there's an interloper in the group. Helmet is back on, which might make it hard to actually see what he's looking at. He's shutting down and being sure to put himself between Tadashi and one of his friends. Keeping his arms crossed and looking as imposing as he can
for being like 5'5".And then loudly to one of the other three: ] Can we trust him?
[ He doesn't care if Tadashi can hear. Sorry. ]
D. Bring Your Own Starter.
C
Of course we can, he's a friend.
[Says Al, who's friends with everyone.]
Why don't you try actually talking to him, instead of around him?
no subject
Who isn't a friend of yours?
no subject
[There have to be more people here he doesn't like.]
no subject
[ It's the same amount of people Vanitas trusts. ]
You're going to get stabbed.
[ Probably not by Tadashi, but someone will take advantage of his weakness. ]
no subject
[He chuckles at his own weak joke, trying to lighten the mood a bit.]
no subject
You forget that I've seen you bleed.
[ Probably not the best way of putting it, but he doesn't like mincing words. ]

A
Hey- I'll help, okay? Slow down. We're back. It's all right.
[ As he speaks, he reaches for the remaining bandages, tugging them off in a slightly less violent manner. ]
Pull on those too hard and we're going to have to clean you up again.
no subject
When did he become so weak?
It takes until Gabriel says they're going to have to clean him up that he finally starts to move again. This time it's just putting his hands over Gabriel's to hold on for a moment. ]
I got it.
no subject
Okay.
[ He'll back off a little and let Vanitas take care of that, but he's not moving any further away. At the very least, he can be a calming presence, probably? ]
no subject
I'm not used to getting help.
[ It wasn't allowed in the past and then it became a personal rule. He'll then bring his left wrist to his own mouth to gnaw off the medical bracelet. He's being careful to avoid the part with the list of drugs in case it'll be useful. ]
no subject
I know. It does take some getting used to.
But it means we'll get 'em off faster, so...
[ He's careful but quick as he works. His hands have always been nimble- they had to be, for his chosen profession. ]
no subject
It might be useful later.
[ Now with that out of the way, he'll work on his neck. Not being gentle with it, but taking his time at least. Keeping his attention focused on something that isn't the stupid outfit he's wearing. ]
There was something in the pit.

C
This is exactly the kind of stunt he could see Hiro pulling.
After waiting another moment, he unclasps his hands and coughs once, then gives an exaggerated glance over his shoulder before giving the kid his best innocent look.]
Trust who? Actually, [And dropping his volume dramatically.] should I keep my voice down?
no subject
He weighs the consequences in his mind, and decides for now he'll behave. He isn't in the mood for whatever Al or Billy might have to say. ]
Yeah, keep it way down so I don't have to hear you.
no subject
[Tadashi casts a glance over Al's way and makes a mental note to check in with the other boy about this kid's story at some point. Assuming he can't get it out of the kid himself along the way.]
You never met my brother, did you?
no subject
No, I haven't.
[ Al, your friend is weird. ]
Just spit it out if you're going some where with this.
no subject
You're a lot like him.
[Well, minus some of the shyness, but the attitude's similar enough.]
If you guys get a chance to meet up, you're either going to be best friends or mortal enemies.
