<t>Hi everyone (Laraqua and KiY particularly) - I am trying to keep posting but have been crazy busy the past week or so and I suspect it will continue. I am leaving my permie job and looking for contract work. Until I get a new job or leave my current one, I am having to field calls from agents, go...

<t>Desperately pushing the desk as hard as he can against the door, Daniel attempts to put into words his experiences of the day so far. What spews out of his mouth is less than coherant though "Place has gone mad ... doctor tried to kill me if I didnt inject myself ... maybe he injected me? ... is ...

The crash at the door brings Daniel to his senses. "Quick, grab the other end" he urges the other man as he starts to lug the heavy desk across the room to barricade the door.

Daniel leaps towards the man, grabs him by the lapels and shouts "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!?!". Then, overcome, he collapses to the floor clasping at his stomach.

Daniel gasps for breath. He skitters and slides in the puddle as he staggers to his feet. His mind full of fear he runs wild haired towards the door.

"Umm.. no.. here, wait, stand back from the door"... Daniel takes a step back and pauses before charging at the door with his shoulder. He'd seen it done in the movies a hundred times... how hard could it be?

Daniel knocks loudly on one of the locked doors. "HELLO? ANYONE IN THERE?"

Daniel is overcome by a need for human contact. He wanders the fifth floor aimlesssly for someone who looks more in control of themselves than he feels.

Daniel's greatest fear: to lose his daughter physically or emotionally
Daniel's greatest hope: to find a happy balance between his love of money and his love of his family, so one does not destroy the other.

The adrenalin of the run in with Doctor Scott starts to wear off. Combined with the despair of the current situation, Daniel falls to his knees. Slumped against the wall, he buries his face in his hands.

Daniel goes as high as he can get (without going into staff only areas) to get the best view of the city he can manage.

"Gotta get out of here" Daniel thinks, and pushes through the sea of panicked faces towards the stairs. Hoping to avoid the crazy Doctor, he bounds up the stairs, aiming for the higher floors so he can see whats going on in the streets.

Sorry I've not posted - I have been unexpectedly without internet access. Its all sorted now. Better go read those threads, make sure I haven't been dissolved by the cloud...

Daniel ducks to the side of the vending machine to avoid the crush. What the fuck is going on? Determined to remain calm, he scans the crowds for people who look to be in control of themselves.

Daniel buys a chocloate bar, but his ulcer complains at the mere thought. Grimacing through the pain, he is left standing aimless, dishevelled and irritated in the hospital lobby. Goddamn he hated being out of control.

Daniel grinds his teeth in frustration. How long was he going to be stick in this place? What was he supposed to do about Doctor Scott? The Monroe deal was in a very delicate position, he needed to get back to the office to make sure things were progressing. Deciding to leave the stressed nurse to ...

"I won't. Listen, I'm gonna hang up before the batteries on the phone konk out. I'll call you again later. Just stay indoors and keep everyone together."

With that, Daniel decides to check the situation at the reception desk again, and try to push his way to the front.

<t>I've been busy too - work has been stressful as a couple of people have left recently so we are 3 people doing the work of 5, and my 8 month old son has been a real handful too so I just havent had too much time in the evenings either.<br/> <br/> Everyone has lives. Post fast, post slow, its all ...

(OOC: Hayley is a girl!) "Just sit tight I'll see what I can find out, presuming I dont get shot. Whats this cloud business all about anyway? All I know is there are a whole lot of unhappy people here at the hospital. Its a madhouse. Just keep Hayley inside and I'll see if I cant find out whats...

Daniel is also more relieved than he would like to admit to hear Gemma's voice. "You would not believe the fucking day I am having. Doctor Scott has gone nuts - pulled a fucking GUN on me. Now I'm trapped in the hospital surrounded by burns victims with some acid rain cloud or something on the...
