The world is a hellish kalaidoscope of burning buildings and rubble. So many homes are upright and standing, almost undamaged, but so many more are injured. Huge pools of water flood the roads from the rain and from the hoses that suck the juice from the huge craters that pit the asphalt. Brianna goes to cross a section of what looks like a mere puddle, steps in one cradle, slips, and goes under the muddy water.

Posted: **Tue Nov 13, 2007 5:06 pm**

[O.C. That sucks!!!!

]

Brianna kicks her legs to swim to the surface, and takes a gulp of air.

She looks around wildly for something to grab onto to pull herself out.

Posted: **Sat Nov 17, 2007 2:57 am**

Ronald cries out for Brianna and panics as she sinks into the puddle.

My god! What next!

He quickly comes to his senses.

Brianna! Get out of there! That's a bomb crater. It could be toxic!

Ronald lunges for Brianna outstretched hand and helps her out. When she is safely out of the puddle Ronald sits down beside her next to the puddle and starts to laugh uncontrolably.

Ha Hya! Ha! Snort! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Snort! Ha ! Ha! I can't believe you fell into that.... bloody pool? Ha Ha Ha Ha Hya! Snort! I thought...... Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha! Ha Ha! They were taking you! HA Ha Ha Ha.... But it was just a bloody crater from the bloody Nazi's. Ha Ha! Ha Ha! Ha Hya! Snort! Then you fell in! Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Hya! Snort! You should have seen the look on your face kid! Ha Ha Snort Ha Ha Snort! Snort! You probably needed a bath anyways! Ha Ha! Ha! Snort! Snort! Snort!

Ronald looks up and splashes Brianna with the muddy water and continues laughing and smiling.

A bloody puddle. Ha Ha! Whew! Is so needed that......

Posted: **Sat Nov 17, 2007 3:39 am**

A woman's shrill wail interrupts the laughter as an obese woman in a daisy print dress comes rushing through the rubble that was a side alley and into a back yard. The wailing became a piercing shriek of shock and horror before breaking into sobs.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2007 3:51 am**

Brianna tries to splash Ronald back in retaliation, furrowing her brow at him, but quickly smiling at the humour in it. Somehow Ronald's snorting and 'hyucking' made it increasingly difficult to keep a straight face.

Just then, she hears the wailing woman. Her smile quickly falls and she watches her, startled.

"Uh oh..." she says softly.

Posted: **Mon Nov 19, 2007 8:29 pm**

Ronald watches the woman as well, equally startled by her cries.

Get ready to scoot and scat there kiddo. Just because we're out of the hospital luv, that sure as snot doesn't mean wer'e in the clear now does it?]

Ronald looks around the streets for anything supernatural or out of place in a WWII setting that might have caused her to scream like that.

Posted: **Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:22 am**

She appeared to be running to, rather than away, from something and is now, at present, sobbing behind one of the houses.

Posted: **Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:43 am**

Brianna decides to call out to her loudly.

"Are you ok?" she yells from where she's standing. She glances at Ronald, bewildered.

Posted: **Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:51 am**

There is no response.

Posted: **Tue Nov 20, 2007 7:03 pm**

She probably just lost someone luv..... This is war time. Lot's of people lost family in the war! Poor old bird!

Ronald continues to watch the sobbing woman,still keeping a watchful eye for anything out of the ordinary. He tears up for a moment and puts his hand on Brianna's shoulder.

Sniff! C'mon kiddo, let's go back and talk to Lionel. It's high time we figured out just what in blazes is going on here.

Ronald walk back to the shattered window and looks inside to see what Lionel is up to. He looks over his shoulder to makes sure Brianna is following.

Posted: **Wed Nov 21, 2007 2:37 am**

Brianna begins to tear up too, and just shakes her head at Ronald.

"I'm not going back there. That hospital is too weird. Sorry."

Posted: **Wed Nov 21, 2007 4:12 am**

I know its scary but that man in there was like us. He's lost... Maybe he knows what we're supposed to do. Maybe he can get us back home. Don't you want to get home Brianna?

Posted: **Wed Nov 21, 2007 6:34 pm**

Brianna begins to cry harder.

"I don't even have a home anymore, Ronald. My parents are dead. They got burned up in a car accident. And we don't appear to be anywhere near 2007 in here." Brianna motions to the outside world.

"The hospital is just as scary as anything out here. The only difference is that in there, we have walls to keep the scary things really close to us. Jason....he.....he got turned into that....that thing. I don't wanna be around it! I don't wanna go back! Leave me here if you really want to....I don't mind. But I don't wanna go back in there!" Brianna's tears turn into sobs and her shoulders shake with anxiety. She wipes desperately at her eyes in shame for crying, and tries to avert her face from Ronald's glances.

Posted: **Wed Nov 21, 2007 7:23 pm**

Ronald leans down and rest on one knee in front of Brianna.

We have to talk to someone and I'm not leaving you out in the streets by yourself with all these bombs and fires going off.

OK! OK! I'm with you kiddo! If you aren't going to come into the hospital then we'll just have to wait outside the front door for Lionel to come out.

Ronald sits down next to Brianna and crosses his arms. He looks coyly at Brianna and then unstraps his banjo. He pretends to tune it and plucks one note at a time making his best attempt to try Brianna's patience.

He should come out in a couple of hours.

Posted: **Thu Nov 22, 2007 1:34 am**

A uniformed man and woman leave the hospital. The man rubs at his face and forehead. The woman rubs his shoulders. They're the same pair who had been in the room when Jason first came out.

Posted: **Thu Nov 22, 2007 7:39 am**

Brianna claps her hands gleefully when Ronald pulls out his banjoe, and grins widely. She watches him pretend to tune it with interest, but any attempt he made to drive her mad with impatience was long forgotten when she stared in fascination at the strings. She sat there silently watching him for a minute, with each string resonating the silence and bridging the gap between sanity and beyond control for her. Music had always touched her in a way she couldn't explain.

After a moment, she looks at him curiously. "How come you're so obsessed with talking to Lionel anyways? Do you like other boys instead of girls? Is that it? Cause if so....that's ok." She gives him a meek smile and a slight reassuring tap on the shoulder to help his possible anxiety at her questioning. "I mean, my uncle is the same way....he has a boyfriend not a girlfriend."

Before he can answer the couple walks out of the hospital. "Oh look Ronald!"

Posted: **Thu Nov 22, 2007 5:55 pm**

Ronald watches the couple and then smiles back at Brianna. He knows Brianna is just stalling. Fortunately for Ronald, his patience is like an ocean.

No no no... I like girls Brianna. I had a girl friend once.... She made the best Rhubarb pie..... and we used to watch Jeapardy together every night. Se used to always win. Maybe that's why she left....

Ronald thinks on that as he continues to tune his guitar.

Lionel's not from here.. just like us. You can tell cuz of his clothes. We need to know how he got here. I think he knows something we don't Brianna. Maybe something about the hospital or or maybe even something about Louie...

Damn you Louie...

Ronald looks back at the couple.

I hope that means they got Jason.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2007 2:50 am**

The warden rubs his forehead between thumb and forefinger, moving towards the nearby Warden's Post without so much as a glance in their direction. The woman rubs his shoulders and is whispering something into his ear, though judging by his absent-minded nods, it seems he isn't really paying attention.

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2007 6:47 am**

Brianna grins, "Mmm....rhubarb pie huh....no strawberries in it? Or raspberries even? Betcha you really like rasberries huh?"

Her eyes flicker to the warden and she follows him with her eyes for a minute. "I don't wanna run into Jason again, Ronald. He almost got you. Like he went straight for you and it scared me. Do you think he died yet? If you think so, I'll go back and talk to Lionel."

She continues to watch the couple absent mindedly, then continues, "How come we don't go talk to them? You wanna?"

Posted: **Fri Nov 23, 2007 6:40 pm**

OK! And I hate raspberries kiddo! They taste like arse and shyte all mixed up in a lovely crap and bum combination. Hya! ha!

Ronald and Brianna walk over to the warden and politely interrupt.

Excuse me sir. Is everything taken care of in there? There was an escaped lunatic trying to kill us. His name was Jason. I ran with Brianna here before we could find out what happened. Could you tell us what happened?

Posted: **Sat Nov 24, 2007 7:05 am**

The warden rubs his face a few times, then his eyes, blinks a few times and stares at him. "You seeing this too, Anne?"

"Yeah," she said.

"Bugger, hoped it was like last time," he said. "Look, I'm ... we're ... we're going over there." He nods to himself. "Yeah... We got to ... we left the kettle on ... sort of."

Posted: **Sat Nov 24, 2007 3:51 pm**

"-I'm glad you are safe here-says Agnes. -We are in our way to a factory near this place, could you join us please?"

Posted: **Sat Nov 24, 2007 3:54 pm**

Lionel leads the way to the small group of people gathered outside the hospital. "Ah, good, there you all are," he says. "I had wondered where you had all wandered off. It is good to see you all safe and sound. I've taken care of Jason. I had to perform a quadruple amputation, so it's a good thing he was already dead. I can't be certain the parts won't try to move even so, which is why we're on our why to properly dispose of the body by cremating it. Nurse Agnes recalls a factory nearby where there's a furnace that could do the job. I'd very much like it if all of you accompanied us. I owe you an explanation for everything that's happened, and while I certainly don't know everything, I would like to share what I do know on the way."

Posted: **Sun Nov 25, 2007 3:45 pm**

"Oh bleedin' heck," says the warden, doing an about face and marching off.

"Where you going?" demanded Annie. "That's back to the hospital?"

"I know!" he says, stamping his foot. "This way..." He turns and starts to climb the rubble of a broken home.

Posted: **Sun Nov 25, 2007 3:53 pm**

"Come on, we'd best follow him," says Lionel. "We really ought to stick together." He smiles at Brianna. "I know you're afraid to go back in there after everything that's happened, but the hospital isn't like it was before now. We've got Jason all bagged up, and we'll be there to protect you."

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2007 12:09 am**

Brianna makes a disgusted face and sticks her tongue out as though what he'd just said was the yuckiest thing she could think of.

She covers her mouth a moment later, and swallows hard, trying to escape the rising feeling of nausea.

Then she starts to follow the group silently back towards the hospital, but can't take the feeling any longer. She looks around wildly, then runs to an out of the way spot and begins to wretch behind a bush.

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2007 12:38 am**

[OOC: Brianna is now back to full HP.]

Lionel follows after Brianna to make sure she's all right. "It's okay, dear," he says. "Things are going to be better now. Here, let me bandage your injuries while we're here." He sets down the bag, takes out his medical kit, and bandages her cuts. "I'm sorry I haven't got a lollipop. I'll have to owe you one. I'll treat Ronald and then myself later. Right now we need to catch up to Daniel and Anna." He picks up the sack again.

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2007 3:16 am**

Ronald fires questions at Lionel while he bandages Brianna, keeping a close on him and his work.

"So...... Lionel right? What the h-e-double hockey sticks is going on here? You're not from this time are you. How'd you get here Lionel? Did you come through the temple?

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2007 3:48 am**

"I wasn't in any temple," he says. "I was at the cinema when it happened, but I don't really know what 'it' is exactly. The phenomenon seems to be related to the events surrounding the appearance of Jason and other monsters. Let's hurry to catch up to Daniel and Anna so I don't need to repeat myself." He quickens his pace and looks at Agnes. "I realize this must come as a shock to you, miss, but you've seen Jason and you know that there are some strange goings on. I hope this means you'll keep an open mind."

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2007 1:34 pm**

"-Other time? That means that you are time travellers? Like in the story of Mr Wells?- She began to laugh.- None of you seem to be a scientist. Even if your cloths are odd. And that weapon... But I'm listening."

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2007 8:26 pm**

Brianna has been relatively quiet while Lionel bandaged her wounds, and now she walks along with the group in renewed interest at the questions Ronald has been asking.

She peers at Agnes curiously. "Y'mean you are from this time? Like with the crazy black curtains and everything burning outside....this is what it always was like for you?" She involuntarily steals a glance at Ronald after, feeling entirely baffled at the situation, when suddenly her stomach growls loudly.

I just wanna eat soon....I'm soooooo hungry...

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2007 8:46 pm**

"I am a scientist as it turns out," says Lionel to Agnes, "although my field is medicine and biology, not physics. I do love H.G. Wells's 'The Time Machine', and I even mentioned it when I started to try to explain things to Daniel and Anna earlier. We did not come here in a time machine, and even physicists in our day cannot even begin to construct one. Until it happened, I wouldn't have believed it possible. We didn't come here of our own volition, and I don't really understand how it happened. Brianna, Ronald, and I hail from the Year of our Lord 2007." He gives her the exact date. "I'm the oldest of the lot of us, and even I won't be born until 1945. There was a young lady from our time named Jennifer who also came back, but alas she was killed in the air raid. I was only wounded and trapped in the rubble when Daniel and Anna found me and dug me out."

Lionel smiles at Brianna when she speaks. "Agnes is a native of this time, but it wasn't always this way for her. The war didn't begin until September 1939. The blackout was instituted early on; the curtains are there to keep German bombers from seeing any indoor lights and using them to help them target, and the fires are caused by the incendiaries they drop. The bombing of London itself began in August 1940. It's heroes such as Agnes, Daniel, and Anna who help protect London while people like my father are off fighting in the war."

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2007 9:39 pm**

So you don't know how we got here either then? Maybe the portal is still open? The door that Jason followed us through. We came from this big temple or something. There was a great big door keeping these creepy kids out. I think they were ghosts. They kinda looked like they were from the 40's now didn't they? We should check out the children's ward at some point. Fore all that though, let's go have a lookey Lou at that door we came through. C'mon!

Ronald runs back a few rooms to where he first reentered the hosptital in this time. He opens the door.

Posted: **Mon Nov 26, 2007 10:34 pm**

Lionel hustles to keep up with Ronald. "Please don't get too far ahead, young man!" he calls. "I'm not as spry as I used to be. Jennifer and I didn't go through a portal. We and dozens of others were standing in the cinema lobby when I suddenly heard an air raid siren and a German bomber flying overhead. I recognized the sounds from what my father once told me. I shouted to Jennifer to douse the lights, and then the bombs fell and I was there, under the rubble." He points to the building across the street from the hospital. "I believe our journey was caused by the things that were happening in our time, and we may very well not be able to return. In all likelihood I'll never see my daughter Sarah again. Even if we could go back, that might not be the wisest course of action considering what we left behind, and if those ghost children followed you as Jason did..." He stops speaking for a second. "Wait, this temple you came through - it's in the hospital?! If that's so, and if those ghost children are from this time, we may find some answers in the hospital. In any case, we've been given an incredible opportunity, and an awesome responsibility. Don't you see, we can change the future now. We can prevent all those terrible things from happening and save countless lives! I know I won't live long enough to see it through to the end, but the rest of you are young and just might. We have to discover the cause of the events that took place in our time and stop them from happening. We have over sixty years to complete this task, which should be ample time. I'll be able to help you get started during the remainder of my life, and I fully recall many crucial things about the next several decades by virtue of having lived through them once before, but ultimately it will be up to the rest of you to finish the job."

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 5:07 am**

Daniel pauses in the back yard and turns. "For fuck's sake, just shut up all of you! And stop following me... I don't know ho you are or what you're playing, but I want no part of it." Annie clasped his elbow but he brushed her off. "Th-this is pathetic. I'm going to go home, have some brandy, have some tea and you can all go back to whatever nut house you hailed from. Okay? Okay." He nods to himself and heads off again.

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 5:20 am**

"Daniel, please stay with us, at least until I can explain things to you," he says. "After that you may go where you like, but please just hear me out first. Remember your duty. I'm exhausted too, but there are still plenty of injured people who need my aid. I'm easily thrice your age, and you don't see me taking a rest. Why, I haven't even had a chance to tend to my own recent injury." That was a most sound argument, he thinks. He'll have to listen now.

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 11:27 am**

Agnes didn't like the word native applied to her or the foul speak from Daniel, he always seemed so shy, but she tried digest all those information’s. People from the future. Who had Winn the war? Lionel talked about his father; so it was probably them. They would win the war against the Germans all alone! Not that she doubted, but the last two years had been quite difficult, with all those defeats in France, Greece and now North Africa. Would Russia survive? She doubted and she didn't cared much; after all they were communists. But suddenly she realize something he said: another disaster in the far future. Maybe another war? No, it should be another thing; they were talking of something that they didn't understand well, the strange creature that they were transporting that they called "Jason", and some kids who were ghosts. Of course, in the future the wars could be quite different. But it seemed more like a description of doomsday.
-What temple are you talking about? There isn't any temple in this hospital. Only the chappel.

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 4:50 pm**

"What chapel?" Brianna asks incredulously, and widens her eyes in fear.

"No, it's huge, underground. It goes on for miles and miles. We...." she pauses to glance at Ronald, "we stumbled around in it for like....forever until we finally broke out. There's no doors and stuff. And it's covered in weird thingamabobs. Right, Ronald?"

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 5:03 pm**

-Are you sure your talking about this hospital? I don't know how it will be in future, but for now, there isn't any caverns, someone would already notice. And the chapel is a ordinary chapel, a small room, don't be afraid.

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 5:48 pm**

"The chapel I know about," says Lionel, "but I've never heard anything about a huge temple beneath the hospital, and I've worked at Mercy Cross for decades. Someone would have to know about it if it's there now, but I can't imagine something of that size being constructed at some point in the future without people being aware of it. It must have been there from the start, perhaps even before the hospital was built - and Mercy Cross dates back at least to the days of Queen Victoria. Perhaps once everyone is patched up we could go and have a look."

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 6:14 pm**

-Tell me, what will happen in your time? And by curiosity, who will winn this war?

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 6:43 pm**

"We shall win the war, of course," says Lionel, "though it will take years of hard work and plenty of 'blood, toil, sweat, and tears,' as Prime Minister Churchill has said. Millions of lives will be lost during that time, and anything we can do to hasten our victory will save many of those lives and make the future a better place. I realize that by doing so I may change the circumstances surrounding my birth. I don't know what will happen as a result of that, but it's a risk I must take.

He takes a deep breath. "Our time is a time of great technological wonders. The device you saw me use on Jason is but one of them. It belonged to Jennifer, and it's called a taser. It's designed to incapacitate someone without killing them, though people with weak hearts do run the risk of death when it's used on them. In the future the police will sometimes carry them, though they won't abandon the traditional nightstick. They'll also be available to private citizens like Jennifer for personal protection.

"Alas, personal protection will also be more of a necessity. The moral fabric of society will decay gradually, and crime will become an increasingly greater problem. My daughter was the victim of a violent crime in her own home, but she survived through the will of God and her own determination, suffering no lasting physical harm. It has still affected her deeply, but armed with knowledge of what is to come we have the power to prevent it from ever happening.

"The winds of war were also preparing to blow again. The mistakes of the 1930's were being repeated, and countries led by tyrants, with the aid of organizations devoted to terror and destruction, were rising up against civilization and decency. A Third World War may have been in the offing, but all that was rendered moot on the day we came from. It began in the late afternoon, shortly after tea. A black cloud swept over the sky, blocking out the sunlight. Everyone who was hit by the storm front was instantly turned to ash, but the ash seemed still alive somehow. It floated through the air, as though with purpose. Some of us survived because we were in sealed environments, but we were not out of danger. That's when the monsters came. You've already seen one of them that followed Brianna and Ronald back in time. There may have been another that came back. When I found Jennifer's body, I saw the face of a vicious dog in a shard of glass, like a reflection, but no sign of the beast itself. It was the most disturbing sight I had ever seen, but I've never heard of anything like it before. My daughter Sarah and a few others in the hospital miraculously survived another brush with death and were evacuated to a military outpost outside the city shortly before I found myself here, where she is no doubt caring for wounded soldiers back in our day.

"Do not despair, though. Forewarned is forearmed. We know what will happen and when, so all that remains is to discover how and then how to stop it. Jennifer knew some things about what was happening and the bizarre monsters that had appeared, and had she survived she could have been an immense help. She did tell me that all of her knowledge was out there, if you know where to look, so we can find it. We have roughly six and a half decades to set things right and save the future, which should be plenty of time. It will require much hard work and dedication on top of what we're already doing for the war effort, but it must be done. If you're willing to join us, we can form the core of a new group dedicated to preventing the coming cataclysm."

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 6:55 pm**

Ronald nudges Brianna and whispers in her ear.

You catch all that luv?

He then opens the door that Ronald and Brianna had originally come through that may or may not lead back to the temple.

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 11:29 pm**

Brianna rolls her eyes at Lionel goes on and on. To her, it sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher....'wah wah...wah wah waaaah.'

She looks up at Ronald as he nudges her through the door. "How come we're going back down here? You don't really want to see those kids again do you?"

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 2007 11:35 pm**

No way kiddo! I'm just checking tah make sure we can if we need to.

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 6:38 am**

Daniel comes along sulkily, looking disgusted with everything and everyone, though before they re-enter the hospital, he demands the weapons back. "Can't have doctors walking around with rifles, get too much attention."

The door to the stairwell opens easily, revealing a small room beneath.

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 6:49 am**

"Right you are then," says Lionel, returning the rifle to Daniel. "Jason hasn't so much as twitched, so perhaps it won't be necessary to destroy the body after all. It may be wiser to preserve it for further study." He peers down the stairs, then turns to Ronald and Brianna. "Well, let's retrace your steps."

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 8:20 am**

Brianna shudders visibly and slaps a hand over her mouth again as though she were going to be sick. In a moment she takes it down to begin to shout, with fists clenched beside her.

"Gross!!!! No!!! Ronald don't you remember the weird kids that were all wet?? I don't wanna go back down there! How come we have to??"

She begins to shake, "I already told you I didn't wanna come back in the hospital, but we did. Then we came right back to where Jason was, even though I said I didn't wanna. Now I DON'T wanna go back down to those kids!! Or that weird place! It took us like...forever to get out of there! And what if we get stuck again???!!!"

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 10:34 am**

Agnes is still in a state of shock.
-Ashes, like the gas in the great war? And none of you are yet born? It's so confusing!
After some time she reply:
-Well, if there is such a big cavern, we must go to the caves, to try to find some wall or hiden door. And maybe those children aren't there yet.

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:19 pm**

"Brianna does raise a valid point," says Lionel. "You don't have to go down there if you don't want to, dear. Those strange children might very well not be down there now, but it's best to play it safe. We ought to wait until we're ready before any of us explore the basement. It'll still be there later. Ronald still needs his cuts and bruises tended to, and so do I for that matter. Besides, those soldiers Daniel called for earlier should be here soon, and they can keep us safe." He speaks to Agnes next. "The ashes weren't like the gas in the Great War. Do you know of any place in the hospital where we can put the body on ice? I'll want to conduct an autopsy when I get a chance."

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:51 pm**

Well, i think i know a placehere in the hospital. We can go there, but first, let me help you with your injuries.

OOC-Wow, never had so good results in the dices!

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:10 pm**

[OOC: Great rolls, but First Aid heals 1d3 HP, not 1d4. I'm not sure who you meant that for, though. If it's Ronald you're treating, that doesn't matter since he only lost 1. Lionel has lost 2, but he was going to wait until after helping Ronald before looking after himself. From the sound of it you were treating Lionel, so I rolled for healing Ronald. He is now back to his maximum HP.]

"Thank you," Lionel tells Agnes. "If the room can be locked, that would be helpful too. I don't think the body will start moving again if it hasn't already, but just in case." He takes out his medical kit and patches up Ronald adequately.

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:25 pm**

OOC: Agnes helped Lionel. And sorry about the d3, i should have check first

"-In normal ocasions it would be dificult to have a room locked without superior autorizations, and with everyone knowing each other, but nowadays it's easier to do that, since there is always new faces around. Shall we go?- says Agnes."

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 5:56 pm**

Ronald allows Lionela minute to look at his injury. He gives her the two thumbs up.

Thanks mate!

While Lionelfixes up his hurt shoulder, Ronald speaks softly with Brianna.

Of coarse you don't have to go down there kiddo! Crap-erjacks! I'm sure as snot not about to walk back down there without a good enough reason now am I. Maybe we should get some chains so no more demons or ghoulies or Belgians or whatever you wanna call them creepy wankers from the future or the our past or whatever.... Oww! My brain hurts!

Ronald closes the door and begins to look for something he can use to close it. If it has a lock, he starts with that.

[OOC: DSIGFUSS, it was Lionel who bandaged Ronald; Agnes treated Lionel's injury. Don't worry about getting the dice mixed up, kabukiman.]

"Once we secure the basement door, then we'll store the body," says Lionel. "When the soldiers show up, they can stand guard over both of them. Since Daniel and Anna are with us, it should be no problem getting authorization to lock Jason up. The room will have to stay cold, to keep it from decaying."

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 6:23 pm**

"Belgians and creepy wankers?" Brianna snorts a laugh and then appears to be unable to stop laughing. "Your brain hurts? Oh my god.....ha ha ha..(snort)..oohh....ha haha.....(snort snort)...oooh.."

After a moment she regains her composure. "What do all of you guys think you'll find down there anyways? Are you just wanting to see that it exists or what?"

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 6:31 pm**

"Those underground caves and that temple are likely to still be down there," says Lionel. "I suspect they were here all along, and could easily be older than the hospital. I hope there are no creepy ghost children and no more monsters like Jason down there. My daughter Sarah told me that she encountered at least one like that too. It tried to attack her, and this odd fellow in a black hooded robe blew it away with a shotgun, but it was still moving. She managed to get away unharmed while it was down, though."

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 6:37 pm**

"Was it Louie? The guy in the robe I mean? I used to like him, because he read Star Wars to me when he was on his break and stuff, but now he's just mean. He had us tied up and taken to the basement. We wandered around for hours in the dark before finally finding a way out. And I think those kids took Jason and burned him up. He smelled all weird after they got to him. Then they took his old body down to the big room we were in and I stepped on him....and I got Jason on my foot. It was sooooo gross." Brianna makes a face and puts a hand on her stomach as though trying to stop it from churning.

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 6:56 pm**

Ronald winces when Brianna mentions Louie's name. He starts to grind his teeth uncontollably as Brianna talks about him.

Damn you Louie....

That ponce Louie got us into this mess! I swear, if I ever run into that no good back stabbing janitor.. I'll show him a thing or two about the Force. I'll force my foot in his arse!

Ronald looks over at Brianna and smiles.

I'm sorry sweetie.... I meant I'll force my foot in Louie's bum... You shouldn't say arse!

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 6:59 pm**

"Oh, dear, that does sound disgusting," says Lionel. "Louie the janitor? I don't know if it was him in the robe or not. He always did seem strange, but I never imagined he could harm a child. Sarah said she knew who he was, but she didn't tell me because she had promised not to. She did say he saved her life, though, so how could he be the same person? Oh, do you know Sarah? She's a nurse who works at the hospital. She's blond, pretty, about five and a half feet tall, and she usually wears a lovely green uniform."

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 9:45 pm**

"You would really stick your foot in Louie's bum? Eeewww!!!!" Brianna makes a face of disgust, but she can't hold it straight and starts to snicker again. "In his bum? Really? ha ha....no you wouldn't.....you...ha ha ha....you must be....ha ha (snort) joking!!!" Brianna covers her mouth when she snorts and begins to blush fiercely. "I can't....ha ha ha....stop.....hah ha....laughing!!!"

After a moment she doubles over and clutches her stomach. "Oh...Louie.....your poor bum! Ha ha ha!!!"

After she regains her composure, she looks back at Lionel and answers him. "I think I remember Sarah. I've been at the hospital a really loooong time. So ya, I think I remember her. Didn't we...." she looks at Ronald quizzically, "was she the one in the first floor that told us to go away?"

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 10:08 pm**

"Why would Sarah have told you to go away?" asks Lionel, confused. "She's the most wonderful person in the world. She was there when you came into the hospital, in fact. She was part of the team that saved your life. I remember Dr. Sutcliffe - she was the lead surgeon - saying afterwards that you wouldn't have survived if not for Sarah. She said none of other nurses on staff could have thought as quickly on their feet, that only Sarah had the skill, the adroitness, and the devotion to save you. She also said that because you had lived, one day you would accomplish something great that would benefit the entire world."

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 10:36 pm**

Atta girl Brianna! Oi! Save the world kiddo!

Ronald raises Brianna's hand in the air trimuphantly. He lets go of her arm and wonders about Sarah.

Sarah?... was she the one with the mangled face in the dispensory that told us not to drink the water. The one that was all ..... Brianna! Brianna!

Ronald makes a zombie face and holds out his arms, moaning like a zombie and trying to scare Brianna.

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 10:37 pm**

"No, that's not Sarah," says Lionel. "Her face didn't get mangled, and she certainly didn't turn into a zombie."

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 10:38 pm**

Brianna starts laughing uncontrollably. "Ronald stop!" she hits him lightly on the stomach in an effort to make him stop clowning around. "Hey seriously! Quit it!!"

Brianna laughs again and continues to Lionel in and effort to fill him in, "There was this weird nurse, and I think she thought I was important cause she chased me down the stairs and yelled my name after her. But that wasn't Sarah for sure. She was just weird! Anyways, maybe I'm wrong. Some nurse told us to go away. We were trying to get help finding medicine and she wouldn't help us. But it probably wasn't Sarah then."

Brianna tries to keep her straight face but Ronald's zombie moaning was getting the best of her. "Ronald! You're gonna make me snort again! Stop making those weird faces!!! ha ha ha.....it's not Hallowe'en!!!! ha ha ha!"

Posted: **Wed Nov 28, 2007 10:44 pm**

"It must have been someone else," says Lionel. "There are a lot of nurses in the hospital, and Sarah did tell me that some of them had become zombie-like because they drank the water. Don't worry about it. You certainly are important. Yes, I think you may very well save the world, Brianna. You're the youngest of us all, and the most likely to live long enough to see our mission through. Maybe when it's done and you're old and gray like I am now, you'll get to see Sarah again and keep all those terrible things from happening to her and the people she cares about."

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:01 am**

"Maybe," Brianna says with a shrug, and says nothing more about Lionel's subject.

Inside her mood sombers considerably. I don't want to live til I'm old and gray. I have no family anymore. And look at me...I'm hideous. If I were old and gray that'd mean nobody married me and I was still lonely. Who would think I'm pretty with half my hair missing and my face and skin all burned up? He must be mad....

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:20 am**

"I'm not authorising creepy body bits to be put on ice and I don't have that kind of authority and no one would believe that folk from the future, crawling corpses, and weird under-hospital temples," said Daniel.

Annie grabs Lionel by the forearm. "You think the hospital's infested with cultists so you want to go telling them to lock up their temple? Don't you think they might react a little violently? And standing around in front of the door to the basement where the temple is hidden, waffling about this stuff, in plain view of the so-called cultists... Well, it's a little moronic. So, I'll meet you at the library tomorrow. I'm going home and maybe if you all wanna stop being suicidal, you'll go and do something smart like not being so goddamned obvious and naieve. Come on, Daniel."

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:32 am**

[OOC: Did Agnes heal Lionel back up to full HP, or does a new 1d3 roll need to be made?]

"Cultists?" says Lionel. "I never said anything about cultists. There may very well be a secret group of some sort that uses the temple, however, and you're right about us being obvious." He shuts the basement door. "This is all rather new to me, I'm afraid. We'll be more subtle from now on." He looks at Agnes, Brianna, and Ronald. "We must watch what we say when others can hear. Loose lips sink ships. Well, if we can't lock up and preserve the body, perhaps we should destroy it in that furnace in the factory after all just to be safe. Can't just leave it lying about. We'll see you at the library tomorrow, then, if you'll just tell us the address."

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:51 am**

"Its a library, I'm sure you'll find it." Annie gestures to all the futuristic items. "Hand it over. Unless you wanna be even more obvious..."

Daniel gives Annie a look of newfound respect and perhaps, awe.

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 2:59 am**

"Very well," says Lionel, handing Jennifer's backpack and belt to Annie. "I trust you'll find a safe place to keep them. I'd like to apologize for not confiding in you sooner. I had been about to, but after the way you reacted when I started to hint at the truth I couldn't admit it at the time. Now you know me a bit better, though. Those items Daniel took from my pockets were in fact mine. Except for the bottle, that I had borrowed from Jennifer before this started. Please do press the PWR buttons on those two devices to shut them off, or the batteries will run down overnight. They've got adapters to plug them in and recharge them, but I'm not certain the electrical outlets available are compatible. Take care, both of you, and we'll see you tomorrow."

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 6:48 am**

"How....how d'you know they're coming back?" Brianna stammers, watching Lionel so eagerly hand over all his important possessions. "Or how d'you know they won't work in here?"

"And where are you guys going for the night, anyways? Cause what you're saying...it makes sense. Why go back into the temple anyways? It seems.....creepy."

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 8:36 am**

Yeah Lionel. What gives? What did you just give them?

Ronald shakes it off...

Never mind. We're not going back there Brianna.... What are you playing at Lionel? What's your plan man?

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 10:29 am**

"Agnes is thinking for herself that the people in future is too immature, and Brianna behaviour would not be acceptable even for a child... at least in the 40's; only Lionel seems different. Maybe because he is a doctor?
-Well, those cultists to have access to the hospital must be members from the staff. I doubt that they will reunite themselves in the day; it would be too conspicucious. So, if you want to look for the cave, it will be better when the germans are bombing the city, and pretend you were just hiding; the cultists will be probably busy and won't think that someone is trying to finde their secret. But for now, i think you all need to eat something and a bath. And to sleep."

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 6:17 pm**

Brianna crosses her arms, furrows her brow, and gives Agnes a dark look.

She doesn't dare say anything to her, however. Where are we gonna get something to eat? And there's NO way I'm going to sleep in that hospital....is she kidding? There's creepy things all over the place! She must be joking....

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 6:18 pm**

You're a bloody Legend Agnes. Could you imagine... A bath. I've been crawling around in filth for.. well forever. Brianna could use some of her medication too. She hasn't taken her pills in quite some time. All the excitement..... you know.....

Ronald imagines his bath all filled to the top of the tub with soap and bubbles. He splashes and soaks all his worries away. He runs the louffa all over his body and....

hey wait a minute!

Why is the louffa pink and why are there scented candles all over the sides of his tub and what happened to my toy battleship.

A shower would be good!

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 6:40 pm**

OOC: I'm not sure about the vocabulary, so sorry for any mistakes.

- Don't worry, i have rationing cards so you may get food, and i know a nice pension near my house. I will say that you are my cousins who saw their house destroyed, and i will pay the place, until you find a job and earn your money. Do you want to go now?

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 6:44 pm**

Brianna looks astounded, and quickly turns her gaze to Ronald for confirmation.

She's off her rocker! I saw the outside...it was blazing hot! I don't know what to do now....

Posted: **Thu Nov 29, 2007 11:42 pm**

Crap-erjacks!

Ronald thinks on Agnes' offer.

Maybe that's what these people want! To get us away from the hospital! Louie took us to the temple and now this one wants us to go back to her place. But man is she foxy! It's been an awefully long time....

Ronald looks at Brianna.

You feel like taking a breather there kiddo? I could sure use a hot cooked meal and a shower! Maybe we could even take Mickey out for a spell. Give his little wee puppet legs a stretch?

Ronald looks back to Agnes and tries to be cool.

Sure Agnes! We'd love to check out your flat. We should probably pick up some pain meds for Brianna on the way out.

Posted: **Fri Nov 30, 2007 12:05 am**

"I don't know Daniel and Annie all that well," says Lionel, "but they trust me enough to return and I think I ought to return the favor. They've shown themselves to be decent folks, and they are correct that I would stick out like a sore thumb were I to continue carrying those objects. They aren't mine anyhow, they all belonged to Jennifer. Well, except for my mobile telephone and my wallet, but Daniel already has those. Besides, they have the authority to seize these things even if I weren't willing to hand them over. It's important that we all cooperate, since we're going to need each other.

"I don't know that the mobiles can't be recharged here, but I don't know that they can either, so it's best not to let the batteries run down. The electricity here is direct current, not alternating like we're used to. Many of their functions can still be used, as I demonstrated to our new friends earlier, but they cannot be used to place a call since no cellular towers or satellites exist yet.

"I had intended to just sleep at the hospital on a spare cot after treating anyone who needs medical care, but it might not be best to stay here. Thank you for your kind offer, Agnes. As far as everyone else is concerned, the three of us have lost our homes in the Blitz. I always say that honesty is the best policy, but without proof the people around here would think we're crazy - present company excepted, of course.

"Now, as for our plans, the first thing we have to do is deal with Jason's body. Trying to incinerate it at the factory could easily get us in trouble without Daniel and Annie to back us up, plus I wouldn't be able to conduct an autopsy later. It's in the sack, and the sack is tied off, and it hasn't moved. I think it may suffice simply to put it on ice and leave a note saying that it contains potentially contagious biological material and is not to be touched by anyone under orders of Dr. Carpenter. The nurses saw that thing, so they'll know why it's important to keep people away from it.

"Once that's settled, I'll see if any patients need urgent care and I can try to find Brianna's pain medication, but I'll need to know its name and the dosage. They may not have any here, however, for obvious reasons. The nurse I sent to find some sedatives earlier said there were no painkillers left because of the high number of casualties. If the patients can wait until tomorrow, I'll go with the rest of you. Otherwise we'll have to meet somewhere after we've all caught forty winks. The pension sounds as good a place as any, and from there we can find the library. Agnes here may know where it is, or perhaps someone there could give directions. Until we've all met again, nobody should even think about poking about in the basement.

"Oh, our little bunch is going to need a name. I'd like to recommend Torchwood. Brianna and Ronald might recognize that name, but nobody from around here could. If there are other people like the three of us who made it back, they might know of it too. It's also rather fitting under the circumstances, I think."

Posted: **Fri Nov 30, 2007 12:22 am**

Torchwood? Good one Lionel... I saw that show on the tele a few times. Not much for the tele myself but I catch your meaning.

Ronald looks back to Agnes and smiles.

Alright then... we'll pick up whatever we can for Brianna and then try to catch some shut eye at Agnes'. Lionel, we'll meet up with you and the others say 9 ish. Grab some tea and try and make some bloody sense of this whole mess.

Posted: **Fri Nov 30, 2007 1:01 am**

"He means television," Lionel explains to Agnes. "Right now only the rich have it, but after the war it will become quite popular. They'll have programmes like on the wireless, but you can see as well as hear them. The ones I grew up with were wholesome and good for the entire family, but lately that moral decay I mentioned has seeped in. Brianna probably wouldn't have been allowed to watch Torchwood, as it has some...mature subject matter, but she may have heard of it. The future isn't going to be perfect, and it's far from the utopian ideals of H. G. Wells, but it's still worth saving.

Lionel turns to Ronald. "Nine-ish, you said? What time is it now? I've lost track what with all our running about. We might not need to part company yet, and we should put Jason away and see if we can find any medicine for Brianna first. After that, we'll see if any patients need me. If they don't, then I shall accompany you." He extends his hand to Daniel and Annie. "Well, I'd best let you two rest. It's been a pleasure meeting you, and I'll see you tomorrow at the library. Good night to you both."

Posted: **Fri Nov 30, 2007 4:06 am**

Brianna keeps looking from one person to the next, staying quiet while the grown ups talk, and daydreaming momentarily.

"Whatever..." she says, shrugging her shoulders. "I'm not really in any pain yet...."

Posted: **Fri Nov 30, 2007 10:18 am**

-So let's go put the body in a camera. And we will search what we may find for Brianna latter.

Posted: **Fri Nov 30, 2007 6:37 pm**

I'll stay here with Brianna. She doesn't need to see what happeded to Jason right kiddo?

Posted: **Fri Nov 30, 2007 8:13 pm**

Brianna sighs in relief.

"Phew! I never wanna see that freaky guy again! I'd rather stay away from there anyways."

After a moment, she picks up Edgar's cage and starts poking her fingers through the wires. Edgar flaps his wings gently and she smiles and starts tsk'ing at him in an effort to communicate.

Posted: **Sat Dec 01, 2007 1:42 am**

"Oh, nobody's going to need to actually look at him," says Lionel. "I'm going to keep this sack sealed tight. You two shouldn't stand around in front of the basement door, so perhaps we ought to meet you in the waiting room. After we drop this off in cold storage, we'll head for the operating theatre to see if anyone else needs help. It's good that you don't need the medicine right away, Brianna, but we should let them know that you will require it. Just let me know the name and the dosage, and we'll be on our way. If the medication is not available, I may be able to think of an alternative one that is, but I'd also need to know all the medications you've taken recently, and any allergies you have."

Posted: **Sat Dec 01, 2007 10:14 pm**

Ronald shakes his head.

We've gone through this before Lionel. Back in the future. Brianna doesn't know the name of her meds. We spent a long time looking.... You're a doctor though. You should be able to find something right?
We'll wait in the waiting room. C'mon Brianna... Maybe we can find a bite to eat or something.

Posted: **Sun Dec 02, 2007 2:11 am**

-But what is Brianna problem exactly?

Posted: **Sun Dec 02, 2007 2:23 am**

oc- She has terrible burns all over her body. They hurt after a while.

Posted: **Sun Dec 02, 2007 5:28 pm**

Lionel tries to think of a pain medicine that could help Brianna that would have been around in the early 1940's. He wouldn't want to have to give her morphine even if there had been any left, as it is quite dangerous and addictive even for an adult, and aspirin simply wouldn't cut it. "Yes, I do have a medication in mind," he says. "I just wanted to be sure it won't interact with any other medications she's on and that she won't have an allergic reaction to it."

Posted: **Mon Dec 03, 2007 3:51 pm**

"-Hum, it will be difficult to find the medicaments. Anyway, let's try.-And then, speaking to Ronald: -Take this money, and go buy something to eat, you both look like you need to eat."

Posted: **Mon Dec 03, 2007 6:11 pm**

Ronald takes the money and examines the note to be sure of the date. This could all still be some twisted game Louie was playing. To be honest, Ronald wouldn't be surprised at all to wake up in a homemade Bacta-Tank in Louie's basement.

Damn you Louie.....

Thankyou Agnes. We haven't eaten in days... maybe just hours.... who knows....thanks! C'mon kiddo. Let's find some pie!

Posted: **Mon Dec 03, 2007 6:46 pm**

"Oh yum! Pie? I could murder a slice of pie right now! Except it would be better if it had ice cream on it. Is there really a restaurant here?" Brianna hops a step to catch up to Ronald.

"Thank you Agnes!" she calls over her shoulder. How come I can't remember the medicine the doctor was giving me....I thought for sure I'd remember the silly name of it...

Posted: **Tue Dec 04, 2007 7:37 am**

Spot Hidden check to detect something else while you continue this conversation in the hospital.

In the distance, three of the nurses involved in the dismemberment of Jason stand talking to a hospital matron animatedly at he end of the corridor. One of the nurses point at them.

Posted: **Tue Dec 04, 2007 10:07 am**

-I hope you will have a good explamation to her Lionel, because i think we will need one soon.

Posted: **Tue Dec 04, 2007 2:39 pm**

[OOC: Does Lionel get both his lost HP back from Agnes's First Aid, or do we need to roll 1d3 now? Also, what medicine did he think of that could be suitable for Brianna?]

Lionel is so engrossed in the conversation that he notices nothing else. "We'd best keep most of what we just discussed under our hats," he says. "I'll explain that the taser is hush-hush. I'm sure they'll appreciate the need for secrecy. We'll tell them that I decided to preserve the creature's remains rather than destroy them, but that I won't know more until I've had a chance to do some research and an autopsy. I can also refer them to Daniel and Annie, who will confirm our account."

Posted: **Tue Dec 04, 2007 3:46 pm**

OOC: Sorry for the silly question, but what's hush-hush?

"Agnes is looking nervous to the nurses when she sudenly notice something else..."

Posted: **Tue Dec 04, 2007 9:28 pm**

Ronald spot hidden check : fail. I'm really starting to hate the invisiblecastle site....

Ronald walks with Brianna down the hall and feels just a little bit gay when he finds himself skipping beside her. He quickly recovers and looks back at Agnes blushing.

See you guys soon.

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 1:00 am**

[OOC: Not a silly question at all. "Hush-hush" means secret, and it's the sort of thing someone in WWII Britain might say to refer to possibly war-related state secrets.

Brianna probably ought to roll Spot Hidden too.]

"Yes, we'll see you shortly," says Lionel. "Take care." He nods to Agnes. "Well, we'd better go talk to them. We will need to let them know where we intend to store the creature's remains."

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:56 am**

A hospital sister is peering through a crack in the nearby door, obviously observing you. She's well within ear shot of your conversation.

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 5:01 am**

[O.C. Brianna rolled 11 on spot hidden]

Brianna skips along next to Ronald, giggling at the very fact that a grown man would find so much joy in it. She laughs more and more until he suddenly stops out of embarrassment. Oops....maybe I shouldn't have laughed.....

She sees the woman peeking through the crack in the door and looks wide eyed. She begins to tug on Ronald's sleeve.

"Hey!" She whispers, "Hey Ronald! Look!"

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 5:15 am**

[OOC: I never got an answer back about my questions on the last page. I'm presuming Lionel is now aware of the sister's presence because Brianna has tipped him off; even if that wasn't enough, I think Agnes would let him know.]

Alerted to the hospital sister, Lionel calls out to her. "Pardon me, Miss," he says. "Aren't you aware that it's rather impolite to eavesdrop? If you're that interested in our conversation, why don't you come out and join it? Come on, don't be shy. I'm Dr. Lionel Carpenter. And you are?"

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 6:16 am**

"Busy," she says and shuts the door.

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 6:19 am**

Lionel makes a mental note of the room the nursing sister is in. "Do you recognize her?" he asks Agnes.

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 10:38 am**

OOC: Of course that Agnes would make some sign.
"Agnes speaks with a low voice, so only Lionel may heard:
-No,, but it's normal, there is lot's of people working here in differente turns. But it's better that we go with the bag, before anyone start making questions... The future must be really pleasant since you are always laughing.

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 5:39 pm**

"Yes, let's get to the cold storage room," Lionel whispers back. He helps Agnes carry the bag. "My daughter Sarah is the reason I'm always happy. She's the light of my life, and I miss her so much. You do remind me of her. We'll all discuss matters further when we have some privacy."

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 6:20 pm**

Ronald gets a good look at the woman behind the door and smiles.

Oh... hello luv?

He hasn't been in this good a mood since his last big movement on the crapper, belting out the minipops without a care in the world.

Of coarse that was when all this started then wasn't it? On the crapper with the voice in the walls.... I bet that was Louie too!

Damn you Louie!

Reality sinks back in as the woman slams the door shut.

Riiiiiiiiiight! I remember........ We're in hell now aren't we? Well I hope they serve a right spanking Key-Lime pie in hell hey kiddo? Cuz Ronald here could eat pudding from the toilet if somebody went and spooned it up for me!

Ronald nudges Brianna and shakes off the bad vibes.

Gotta keep positive for the kid!

The skip returns to Ronald's step as he continues escorting Brianna to the coffe shop. (or whatever the hospital has for eats) He whistles and sings, smiling down at Brianna.

Hey Mickey you're so fine... You're so fine you blow my mind.. Hey Mickey! Hey Mickey!

Posted: **Wed Dec 05, 2007 6:38 pm**

"-Right. So just follow me- and Agnes goes to the cold room.

He have a daughter, but he didn't speak of a wife. She must be probably dead. From an accident or some disease? Probably accident; since he must live in the end of this century, science must already have erradicade all sickness. Funny, he is older than me, but he isn't born yet. I will be probably dead when he will get his current age. Will i have my own sons and daughters? Will i have a career?

Posted: **Tue Dec 11, 2007 1:57 am**

Brianna sticks her tongue out in disgust at Ronald's comment. "Pudding from the toilet Ronald? Really? That's....eck!"

She follows Agnes to the cold room, and listens to her while looking for shelves and searching for anything useful. If there is anything of interest, she'll root through it.

Posted: **Tue Dec 11, 2007 2:14 am**

[OOC: I got tired of waiting to see if a reroll was needed for Lionel's HP gain from the First Aid Agnes applied earlier and rolled it just in case. Of course I got a 1, and I was down by 2 HP. Please let me know if this was needed or not, since if it's not that means I get them both back. If a reroll is needed, though, technically kabukiman should make it since it was Agnes who applied First Aid.]

When Lionel reaches the cold storage room, he places the sack in a corner, out of the way. He locates a piece of paper, a piece of masking tape (which the hospital no doubt has for taping windows), and a fountain pen. He then draws a skull and crossbones prominently at the top of the sheet of paper along with the three interlocking broken circles that are the standard biohazard symbol, though he doesn't know if it's in use yet. Below them he writes: "This sack contains human remains that may potentially be infectious if touched. Do not open under any circumstances - Dr. Carpenter." He uses the masking tape to attach the note to the sack, right where the drawstring is.

"That's done then," he says, looking to make sure nobody but his new friends can hear him. "Perhaps I ought to invent sticky notes. They're ever so much more convenient. We'd make a mint to be sure too, but I'd feel like I was stealing from the chap who'll come up with the idea. Well, let's get to the operating theatre."

Posted: **Tue Dec 11, 2007 5:09 am**

"Wasn't that in a movie or something sometime? Somebody claimed they invented post it's? I can't remember what show though." Brianna watches Lionel tag the bag and tries to keep her mind off what's inside. The disgusting remains of Jason...poor Jason....he was so mean to me...but still....poor him.

Posted: **Tue Dec 11, 2007 10:29 am**

OOC. I have reroll anyway, so if Laraqua decides to keep this score, the result is a "1", sorry

.

Agnes is looking to the bag.
-I just hope that the things stays quiet, because someone may decide to hopen it , if it starts to move. Let's go upstairs now.

Posted: **Tue Dec 11, 2007 2:47 pm**

The door to the Cold Storage Room starts closing - fast. Those standing near the sack at the far wall are stuck. Those nearer the exit can attempt a Dodge roll out.

Posted: **Tue Dec 11, 2007 6:13 pm**

Brianna! The door's closing get out of there!

Ronald reaches for the door but doesn't make it in time.

oc-was I inside the freezer with Brianna trying to dodge out? or outside the freezer trying to dodge in? Either way, I failed...

Posted: **Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:35 pm**

Brianna hears Ronald yelling and tries to catch the door, but misses terribly, stubbing her toe as she does.

"Barfbuckets! Fudgsicles and shishkabobs! It's so cold in here! I don't wanna be stuck again!" She starts to whine, miserably.

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:14 am**

[OOC: Don't worry about it, kabukiman. Just my bad luck rubbing off, but in the end it probably won't make a difference. So is Lionel at 9 HP now or 10? I know he was near the sack, though he was about to leave for the operating theatre. Still, with his low Dodge I doubt he'd have succeeded anyway. I didn't know that Ronald ever entered the room, though he surely would have gone with Brianna when she followed us.]

"The door!" cries Lionel. "Quickly, Agnes! Oh, dear..." He rushes towards the door, though there's no way he can get there in time.

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 6:04 am**

Agnes realises two things. One, the room they're in is the store room near the kitchen. Secondly, the room is not refridgerated - they order in meat fresh. So how can it be so cold? As for who shut the door, it might be any one of the kitchen staff they passed on their way through. Its early morning now and the first rounds of breakfast would be getting prepared.

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 10:21 am**

OOC: But it must exist some room below the level surface, where we can put the the remains. They are usually much colder- I know, because i work in an archive in -4 level bellow the surface, and even in the summer it's cold. And in Portugal we have a much hotter weather than in england...

"Agnes look puzzled at the others reaction. Then she goes to the door and try to hopen it."

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 2:51 pm**

OOC: Don't believe Mr. Handy mentioned going down a floor into the basement. Forgive me if I missed something though... Still, this section of the hospital is partialy buried as the ground slopes down from the first floor entrance to the rear ground floor entrance.

The handle barely budges. It seems to be stuck on something.

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 3:17 pm**

OOC: My confusion then.

- Strange, this should open easily- She turns to the men and asks:-Could any of you help me to open this door? Wait, didn't you said something about a cult? Do you think that the nurse who was looking to us may belong to it, and she is trying to lock us?

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 4:57 pm**

Brianna cries out in frustration. "You mean it's stuck?" She runs at the door with both hands extended, and if it doesn't budge, starts kicking it desperately.

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 5:13 pm**

It seems to be stuck securely. The food in this larder looks appetizing, particularly to childish yet large stomachs.

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 5:17 pm**

-Well, at least we have food. Someone will come surely.

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 6:58 pm**

ooc- I'm assuming Ronald is in the freezer or storage room.

Ronald pounds on the door with Brianna. Not helping at all with the panic situation.

Posted: **Wed Dec 12, 2007 11:54 pm**

[OOC: As far as I know we never went down to the basement. Nobody ever said where the cold storage room is, but I'd guess it's near the main kitchen on the ground floor.]

"That nurse might have locked us in if she's part of this cult," says Lionel, "or gotten someone else to do it. There's no cause for panic, but I'm not one to wait around to get rescued. This room must be ventilated somehow. And if it is, one of us can climb out through the vent and open the door from the outside." He begins to look around at the floor, the ceiling, and the walls, but he can't find anything yet. "Let's all search."

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 12:09 am**

Crap-erjacks Crap-erjacks! Crap-erjacks!

I knew this wasn't bloody well over now didn't I? I shoulda bloody well known....

Ronald continues to bang on the door in full panic mode!

Help! Help! Help!

Giving up, he slides down the door and leans against it, watching Lionel search for ventilation ducts.

Sodding old man and his never ending resevoir of positive thinking. Sheesh! If I had half his go get em attitide, I'd a made it as a motivational singer/songwriter.

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 4:29 am**

Brianna's eyes flicker over Ronald's, and she turns her back to him and begins to look through the shelves and boxes to see what food might be stored in the room.

"It's almost breakfast time...I'm sure someone will come open it soon enough."

Soooooo hungry.....got to find something to eat....just can't let Ronald see....

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 7:30 am**

Modern hospitals are superbly ventilated and world war II hospitals weren't far behind. However, a pantry full of sealed food doesn't appear to have anything to promote air flow.

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 10:19 am**

Agnes try to find some exit but with with no results.

-Don't be in panic, i'm sure that someone will came. This is a hospital in London after all, we are not in France with the germans- she says as a jock.

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 6:47 pm**

Ronald, still lying on the pantry floor, looks slowly up at Agnes

Don't you get it! We're screwed! First they were after the kid cuz she was a beautiful soul......... heh heh! Then she blew that doctor away!! Not so clean and pure now are yah kiddo?

Ronald smiles at Brianna so she knows he's only playing.

They put us inthe dark for god knows how long! Now they got us in here........ and in 1940-something! Crap-erjacks!

God knows Ronald was hungry. That pie sounded so sweet but Ronald knew he couldn't eat anything in this place. Just like the last place. If Ronald was this hungry, he couldn't imagine how hungry the kid was and with all this food around......

If all the same rules are in play. I'd say we're zombie meat if we even touch any of that food. You hear that kiddo? Brianna? I'm hungry too but if you eat that food YOU WILL DIE!

Ronald makes sure he makes eye contact with Brianna and in a very serious tone he warns her.

Sores will grow on your face! Your tongue will turn to barb wire and worms will crawl out of your eyes. If you eat anything in this place, you'll barf out your heart and choke on it. You'll be in so much pain you'll scratch out your own worm ridden eye balls and try to put them in your mouth. Then you'll feel like you are burning and you'll turn into one of them..... Those evil cult wankers like Louie. Is that what you want Brianna? Do you want to be like Louie?

Ronald knows that was harsh, but the kid won't listen. He's still got barfy jam in his sneakers for gosh sake.

....... at least that's what they told us. Only drink bottled water.... Crap-erjacks!

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 8:43 pm**

Brianna listens to Ronald's rant, but just grins in retaliation.

"Really Ronald? Worms out my eyeballs? How come you think this food is so bad? You were about to eat pudding from a toilet a minute ago!"

Brianna pulls out the first available box and starts stuffing her face, looking at Ronald defiantly.

"Besides, key lime pie sounded delicious" . she continues, with an overly large amount of food in her mouth.

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 9:53 pm**

Ronald stands up and knocks the box of food out of Brianna's hands.

Brianna! Stop it! Spit it out! We don't know if its safe. Do you want to die?

Just like with the jam, Ronald tries to make Brianna spit it up, unsure if he's doing the right thing. They have to eat something.

Spit it up! I'm not kidding Brianna!

Ronald stands over Brianna, pretending to be an authority figure.

Listen I thought we were safe before..... Now look at us! We're right back where we started! Trapped gods knows where or when! We have to find something to eat... sure. But if you go eating anything you want to, you'll die or worse in this place. We just have to be careful.

Posted: **Thu Dec 13, 2007 11:52 pm**

[OOC: Is Lionel at 9 or 10 HP now? You never said.]

"I know hospital food isn't the greatest," says Lionel with a smile, "but it's not that bad. Look, let's think this through rationally. The cataclysm hasn't happened yet and is quite a long way off, so it's safe to drink the water now. We left the cultists where we came from far behind...er, ahead. While their predecessors may very well be around, they will have no knowledge of what will happen beyond what they might have already overheard us discussing. Louie and the others are stuck back home and can't fill them in." Unless one or more of them came back in time too, he thinks, but best not to say anything now. Don't want anyone to panic further. "Anyway, this food is for the entire hospital. They couldn't have drugged it, or everyone would suffer and they'd draw attention to themselves. But let's keep trying to find a way out. True, someone will come eventually, but it might not be someone pleasant, so we don't want to still be here when they do. Besides, it's a bit nippy in here...though I'm not sure what makes this room cold. Let's find a way out and have ourselves a proper meal. Don't give up." He does his best Winston Churchill impression. "We shall nevah surrendah!" He continues searching, still without success.

Posted: **Fri Dec 14, 2007 2:12 am**

I'm all for the glee and the joy and the hey hey Lionel. Did you see what happened to those people though back in the future? That nurse was in pretty rough shape and her voice......

Ronald shivers at the memory.

And how do we know we're really in this time in the first place. Up is down and left is right and jews are muslims as far as I'm concerned. We walked through a door to get here. so far as I can tell, we're still back in that temple and Jason's got his sick little puppy fingers all over my melon! This could all be some zombie induced freak show! There probably still after the kid you know.... You go ahead and eat whatever you want but me and Brianna are gonna wait it out. Locked in here with all this food and I'm so bloody hungry...... tummy's been growling like a stuck lion.

Ronald continues grumbling to himself but keeps a watchful eye on Brianna.

I

Posted: **Fri Dec 14, 2007 6:52 am**

It isn't the hunger that affects Ronald and Brianna so completely but the thirst. Their throats are laid bare like so much scorched meat. The food, though, the tinned food, has the moisture their empty stomachs crave along with the sustenance. In the distance, a clock can be heard ticking.

OOC: 10 HP, Lionel. Ain't gonna save you anyway.

Posted: **Fri Dec 14, 2007 7:17 am**

[OOC: Thanks!]

"Oh, I have no desire to eat this food," says Lionel. "As I said, once we get out of here we can have a proper meal. Daniel was kind enough to give me a spot of tea when he first pulled me out of the rubble, so I can wait, but if you cannot I'm willing to eat some of the food for you first to show you that it's safe." He resumes his search, this time with greater determination.

Posted: **Fri Dec 14, 2007 8:36 am**

"I don't care Ronald! I'm soooo thirsty!!!!" Brianna looks at Ronald sourly. "Besides, you must be hungry too! I mean we've been going forever! And it's better than.....cooked Jason. Which, I must say, smelled really good in the beginning!"

Why can't he let me eat? I'm parched! Hokey Dinah it all looks good!]/i]

Brianna starts to sniff things, clambering through soup pots and containers looking for anything that might be water, or something to drink. Anything liquidy would do.

Posted: **Fri Dec 14, 2007 10:09 am**

Agnes is confused with the dialog.
-The food don't have any problem. I know it isn't the best, but it's not poison. You shouldn't eat the food simply, because it's govermental property, but i guess we can make an exception in this case.- And she grab something and start's to eat, showing that the food is good (I hope!).

Posted: **Fri Dec 14, 2007 5:15 pm**

Ronald sighs.... if Brianna was half as thirsty as he was, she must be going crazy.

Well.... maybe just canned goods. As long as it's sealed like the bottled water. I still don't know. If we're gonna be zombies........ we might as well be zombies together.

Ronald grabs a can of tomatoes and smashes it on a shelf corner, puncturing it in the middle. He takes a small sip to test it out. He makes some fake sick choking noises for Brianna benefit and then motions Brianna to come sit beside him. He passes the can to Brianna...

Slowly.... small sips sweetie....

Posted: **Sat Dec 15, 2007 5:08 am**

Brianna does her best zombie impression after taking a swig from the tomato can.

"Uuuuuuuhhhhhhhnnn!!!!" she moans at Ronald, eyes rolled back up in her head and arms outstretched. She flails her hands at Ronald's head, then erupts in laughter.

"Seriously....it's only tomatoes! And by the way...wasn't there anything yummier than that? I thought I spied pineapple juice up there...or was I seeing things?

She passes the can back to Ronald and jumps up to inspect the shelf thoroughly.

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 3:41 am**

Agnes knows with bitterness that there would be no canned pineapples, nor peaches, or other exotic fruits. She was lucky to get any fruit at all ... even an apple was a treasure. But there are cans of baked beans, spam and pickled onions. Lionel's rather effective search proves that there is no exit but the door which, fortunately enough, while sturdy, does not appear impenetrable.

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 3:44 am**

"If we're going to get out of here," says Lionel, "it'll have to be through this door. We should be able to force it open if we put our shoulders into it. I'm not as strong as you young folks, but I'll do what I can to assist."

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:09 am**

[O.C. Does the door open from the inside or the outside?]

Brianna grabs a can of spam and turns around with a grin on her face. "Look Ronald! Spam! They have this stuff in the 40's? I didn't know that. I wonder if it really is meat after all...or just cow tongues and pig lips all smooshed together..."

At the mention of pushing the door open, Brianna begins to look around for anything heavy. Bricks? Rocks? Or even a heavy shelving unit would do.

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:15 am**

"Oh, yes, they have spam now," says Lionel. "It was invented in 1937, I believe. It helps in the war effort, since it's cheap to produce large quantities of it. My father sometimes got it in his rations. Let's see if we can find a crowbar or some kind of lever we can use to force the door open."

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:18 am**

Wooden shelving, tins of food, sacks of flour and cartons of eggs. Unfortunately, this larder does not include a crowbar. The door, alas, also opens outwards.

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:22 am**

"Looks like we'll simply have to use our muscles, then," says Lionel. "Ready, everyone?"

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 12:51 pm**

-Yes, we are!

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2007 6:44 pm**

Only eat the canned one Brianna!

lectures Ronald

If you need help. I'll open them for you!

Ronald is slightly embarrased to help Lionel open the door through force. He's pretty sure the old man could take Ronald in a fight. His own pipe cleaner shaped biceps were a poor substitute for a crowbar. Heck.... Ronald bet even Agnes could give his wet noodle arms a run for his money.

He spends a few seconds looking for somehting that they might have missed before finally giving up and lending a hand.

Spot Hidden check : : Pass

Idea check : Pass

Posted: **Tue Dec 18, 2007 5:06 pm**

Brianna joins in, attempting to wriggle between them to push on the door as well. By now, there is not much space left to stand near it.

"Ugh! Eeeerrrrrrrrr! (groan) Uuuuuuuugh! (pant pant)"

Brianna is likely to be very little help in pushing the door, but she tries valiantly despite it.

Posted: **Fri Jan 18, 2008 6:00 am**

Ronald stops pushing and leans up against the closest wall. He reaches into his back pack and pulls out Mickey, a little worse for wear.

He hums a few bars getting back into character. He sings out with the passion and soul of a maladjusted kite flying champion in tribute to the great Corey Hart.

Pull up your sox
You're the boy in the box
What did the rebel say?
When the wolf cried "fox"
To the boy in the box
Will you come out to play
One, two
You can't get enough
Three, four
Open up the door
Six, five
Alive is the boy in the box

Ronald giggles madly, and looks up to see if anyone is paying attention to him. He notices that Lionel's shirt has come undone and takes great pleasure in knowing that even suits can show a little crack. In Mickey's best stand-up voice, Ronald presses the issue.

So Lionel! You ever done any plumbing?

Posted: **Fri Jan 18, 2008 6:04 am**

"Plumbing?" asks Lionel as he strains to force the door open. "Goodness, no. Why do you ask?"

Posted: **Fri Jan 18, 2008 9:22 am**

Mickey continues... impressed with Lionel's comedic timing!

Cuz you could fit a copper pipe down that plumber's crack you got sporting there now don't you? Ha! Wocka! Wocka!

Your bum is so big it's like two bears wrestling under a blanket.

Your bum is so big it's got it's own zip code.

Your a good sport Lionel what do you call a gay dinosaur?

A mega-sore-ass! Ha! Wocka! Wocka!

Ronald disciplines his puppet for taunting Lionel.

Come on now Mickey! Lionel's a swell guy!

Mickey quickly interrupts...

Oh Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care. Jimmy cracked corn and I don't caaaaaaaare. I finally get that song!

Posted: **Fri Jan 18, 2008 12:06 pm**

-Well, we have just one solution- And she starts to shout:
-Heeeeeelp! Anyone outside, please! I'm Nurse Agnes!

Posted: **Fri Jan 18, 2008 6:46 pm**

Brianna begins to giggle at all the jokes, snickering louder and louder, then giving Lionel an apologetic look. Finally she can't take it anymore, and bursts out laughing at Ronald's jokes.

"Jimmy cracked corn, Mickey? hahaha!!!! Jimmy....hahha....cracked.....hahha....corn! Hoo! Ugh! hahah....oooow!"

"Mickey, you're one to start throwing the muck, ya know. I mean, don't make me start in on your momma!" Brianna snorts laughing. "Mickey's momma...haa haaa haa...Mickey, your momma's so dumb, she got hit by a parked car! hahaha! No, no! Your momma's so ugly all the neighbours pitched in for curtains. hee hee hee! "Oo oo, your momma's house is so small, when you buy a large pizza you have to go outside and eat it hahahha!!!! Get it, cuz she lives in a suitcase! hahah

Posted: **Sat Jan 19, 2008 5:29 am**

Lionel chuckles and straightens his clothes. "Whoops, hadn't noticed," he says. "Getting blown up twice in one night by German bombs will do that to you." He continues trying to help force the door open while calling for help. "Yes, please let us out! This is Dr. Carpenter, and there are two patients stuck in here too! One of them is a little girl!"

Posted: **Tue Jan 22, 2008 6:52 am**

Mickey continues the act.. And sings along to the original boy band...... The Beatles!

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, He-e-e-e-elp.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind.. please open up the door.

Help me if you can, Open the dooooooor!
Cuz the kid is freakin out.... Lionel's a boooooore!
And I think the friendly bird might be a whooooore!
Sorry Agnes I needed a rhyme.....
Won't you please, please help me.

Posted: **Tue Jan 22, 2008 10:02 am**

Agnes is looking shocked to Ronald
-Listen to me young man, how don't know how you behave in the future, but here we respect other people!

Posted: **Tue Jan 22, 2008 7:08 pm**

Mickey replies to Agnes..

I'm sorry Agnes. Ronald really likes you. He thinks you're swell. Me I don't like anybody, cept maybe the kid.... I needed a rhyme. What else rhymes with door?
Gore... store..... lore..... more.

Maybe i could have said something else.

Did you hear the one about the Closed Door?

Ronald growns....

Oh Mickey. Geeeeez!

Don't listen to him Agnes. Mickey tends to get carried away. It's all in good fun though!

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2008 12:57 am**

"Now, Ronald, Miss Agnes is right," says Lionel. He turns to Agnes. "My apologies. It is true that many young people do get more and more rude and disrespectful - though thankfully I've never had that problem with Sarah. Ronald, please remember that a child and a lady are present, and even when you're among gentlemen there are certain lines that one does not cross in this day and age. You'll need to learn how to fit in so you do not draw negative attention to yourself. You'll have your hands full as it is just explaining why you're not in uniform. That last verse didn't have the actual words to that song, anyway. I was younger than you are when it first came out, as a matter of fact. Anyway, I know you can still be funny while keeping your act appropriate for children. Mickey is quite the bad influence, it seems. Why don't you put him back in his box and help us try to get the door open? I'm confident we can get it if we all put our backs into it."

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2008 10:06 am**

-Apologies accepted. And well, until anyone came to help us, could you tell me what is your story? What is happening in the future exactly?

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2008 6:26 pm**

Brianna looks from one person to the next in the quarrel, obviously dismayed that this argument was going on. Mickey should know not to say such things...but clearly anyone could go mad stuck in a room for this long. Surely we won't start putting pig heads on sticks now would we?

In answer to Agnes' question she replies, "The future's cool. We have machines that do stuff for us, like math equations and sending mail through a big connection of computers. Oh, and we have phones with no wires that we can take anywhere. Um......and people travel a lot around the world. On planes that seat a hundred people or more. It's pretty cool."

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2008 6:58 pm**

-Really? And have men already send machines to the moon, and have cities in the sea, like in Mr Verne books?

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2008 10:19 pm**

"Cities in the sea? Well maybe once on Star Wars!" Brianna gives a nervous laugh. She wasn't sure what Agnes meant....but to her knowledge there weren't.

"Ya, someone's been to the moon. They jumped around on it like this." Brianna does a mock astronaut walk, bounding high between steps as though floating. "Didja know on the moon, if you kick off with enough force, you can float right into space? That's why they put so much weight in a space suit. They're really super heavy."

Posted: **Thu Jan 24, 2008 12:59 am**

[OOC: Laraqua had sent me a PM back in December asking about rules for forcing open doors. I answered her, but she hasn't replied yet. Presumably once she returns we'll get to make a roll or something, but we can keep talking until then.]

Lionel smiles now that everyone is getting along again. "Yes, Jules Verne was remarkably prescient about many things," he says. "There have been twelve men who have walked on the moon. The first moon landing will be in 1969. I remember watching it on television. The last one is will be in 1973. We never set up a permanent base there, but recently there's been talk of going back to do just that. Nobody has been to Mars yet, though. The moon's gravity is 1/6 of Earth's. While you can jump pretty high, you can't really jump all the way into space from the moon. If you're in orbit and you have to go outside the spacecraft, though, then that is a real danger.

"Yes, we do have portable wireless telephones that can do many more things besides. You can even use them to play games and watch movies. They're practically little computers. I even had two of them with me. I showed Daniel and Annie how they work earlier. Unfortunately I cannot show them to you now, as Daniel took them with him, but we'll see him again in the library.

"We will need to be careful about discussing these things to make sure nobody who doesn't already know can hear. We've already been overheard once. We can talk freely while we're in here, provided we listen carefully and stop talking if we hear anyone approach. Is there anything else in particular you'd like to know about, Miss Agnes? I'm sure there are also plenty of things you can tell us that we'll need to know. I know much about the next several decades by virtue of having lived through them, and my father has told me somewhat about these times, but you would know details about everyday life here and now that I do not. Today's date would be good to know too, including the month and year. It's a bit embarrassing to ask. I had planned to get a look at a newspaper or a calendar, but it may be some time before I get the chance."

Posted: **Thu Jan 24, 2008 7:18 am**

Ronald tosses Mickey onto his backpack and sighs deep.... defeated.

Ah Crap-er jacks. I'm losing it man.... Sure it would help if we knew what day it was... but we gota figure this thing out. I don't know how long me and the kid been running now! It's one thing after another with this palce. This hospital....... We knew that zombie kid back there, before he went all "blaaaaaaaah"

Ronald, clearly agitated, waves his spindly arms in the air, imitating Jason the zombie creature.

He was a real jerk but he didn't deserve what that place did to him. He was after Brianna once he turned. Some maladjusted psycho nurse... she was the one who warned us not to drink or eat anything. She was startin tp turn or something..... no doubt infected by whatever the H-E- double hockey sticks is doing all this. She was after Brianna. And then there was the wee ghost kids. Creepy little buggers that froze in place when yah shone a light on em. They was after Brianna. And before that there was Louie... Beloved janitor turned jerk face cultist... He was after Brianna too. Same with all the doctors.... They were in cahoots with Louie no doubt.......... Doctors with shotguns. They all wanted Brianna. What do yah make of that bag of gooey goodness there Lionel? Let's all just lay it out on the table sa we can just make some sense of all this...... evil!

Ronald puts his head between his knees and starts to cry.

Posted: **Thu Jan 24, 2008 10:25 am**

OOC: I do not know exactly the date, i never asked

, but i presume it was in 1940. Anyway, it's been great being with you, the roleplay is very funny.

-Well, we don't have rockets to go the moon, but we have aircrafts with bombs and guns. We are in war with the germans since they invaded poland. And you must be very careful how to behave. Don't speak loud, don't use any colloquial words, only talk to a lady if it is strictly necessary. Never talk about any technology, or don't show you amazed with anything (like when brianna said she didn't know the existence of spam). The problem is that i don't know the full extand of changes to help you.

[OOC: I feel the same, though I do miss our Keeper. Agnes would know the current date, so we can just assume she's told the rest of us and Laraqua can tell us what it is when she returns. I believe it was 1941 (she mentioned it in the recruiting thread), but she never mentioned the month.]

"Sound advice, that," says Lionel, nodding to Agnes. "I'll fill you in on what I know of things to come in a bit.". He sits beside Ronald and puts a hand on his shoulder. "Chin up, friend. We're through the worst of it. After what we've been through, we should be able to manage a war - especially one we know with absolute certainty we're going to win. And now, with the knowledge we possess, we can prevent the catastrophe we escaped from ever coming to pass.

"I would like to conduct an autopsy on the creature, which is why I've stored it here, but this isn't the place for it and I don't have the equipment I need. After we get out of here and get some food and sleep, I can come back and examine it in a proper operating theatre when we have the time."

Lionel smiles at Brianna. "I know you've suffered an awful lot, but you're in good hands now. Not all the doctors were like that, and you can certainly depend on me. I didn't know any of the doctors were like that until you two told me, and I've worked at Mercy Cross a long time. I did hear something about a group of people at the hospital who look out for each other, but at the time I had thought it was some kind of harmless fraternal order or something. This puts it in a whole new sinister light. Do either of you know the names of the doctors who did this? If their ancestors are around now they might be involved in this madness, so we should be wary of them. I know Louie's last name is Armstrong.

Sarah has been through a lot too, but like you, she's a survivor. You've got a lot in common with her, Brianna. There were monsters after her the whole time too. It's a miracle she managed to survive. She's had hardships all her life, poor girl. First she lost her mother when she was only six. She was there when it happened, but I wasn't since I was working an extended shift at the hospital. My beloved Beatrice had a stroke, and I had missed all the signs. She had insisted her headaches were just migraines, but I should have insisted she get checked out. It happened on December 29, 1983 at 3:15 in the afternoon, and it's another thing I intend to prevent. If we can pass the information on to my younger self after he's born and old enough to understand, maybe we can save her. She was home alone with Sarah. My daughter called an ambulance and did everything she could, but the paramedics arrived too late to help. She blamed herself for not being able to save her mother, but there was nothing more she could have done and she did her best. I've always been there for Sarah, and she's been there for me. Now she's lost me too..."

Lionel collects himself. "The last year has been particularly hard for her. She's never had much luck with relationships, and her last boyfriend was a real piece of work. He was a young solicitor named Lyle Hamilton, and he was very controlling and selfish. I saw through him, but it took her a while before she heeded my warnings. When she broke it off with him, he refused to let her go. He followed her around, kept calling her and leaving notes. He scared her no end. Then one night about a month ago he broke into her flat. Thank God she had learned how to defend herself. She was forced to kill him, and she managed to do so before...before the worst could happen. She even tried to save his life afterwards. That's how wonderful she is. Even after everything he'd done to her, she didn't hate him. In fact, she felt so terrible about having to kill him. She cares about human life so much, and she always tries to see the best even in bad people. I hope I can prevent him from ever meeting her.

"Sarah barely had a chance to rest before all this happened. She was so terrified, but she was still heroic, risking her life to save others. She couldn't save everyone, but she always feels guilty and sad for those she can't save even though she always tries her best. She couldn't save a man in the parking lot whose heart had stopped, but she did save his little boy. They took shelter in an ambulance with two paramedics, Geoff and Karlene, and two patients. Then the storm hit and the monsters came. One of them burst in and dragged Karlene away, but there was nothing Sarah could do except reseal the ambulance at great risk to herself. They had thought the ambulance driver was dead, but Sarah discovered that his heart was still beating and tried to help him. Unfortunately, he had turned into a monster and attacked her. These small parasitic creatures had burrowed under his skin and taken him over. He had a mouthful of mushrooms that contained the parasites' eggs, and he grabbed her and covered her mouth with his own to force them inside her. She was paralyzed and helpless at that point, and it hurt her so much. If she hadn't taken the precaution of donning a surgical mask, she would have met the same horrid end as Karlene. If Geoff hadn't saved her, even the mask wouldn't have been enough.

"Sarah then saved my life. I called her duty station while I was at the cinema, and she ran over there and answered. She warned me about the creatures and how to protect myself from them just in time. There was a blind woman there who went outside into all that ash; she must not have been able to see what it was like out there. I warned her not to go out, but she didn't listen. The parasites got inside her. Some of the other people brought her back in. I was going to try to remove the parasites surgically, but it was too late and she attacked me. Thanks to Sarah I knew what to do.

"Poor Sarah's ordeal didn't end there. Karlene had turned into a monster and chased her with a knife. She got away, but Carson the maintenance guy had gotten some of that foul water in his mouth and turned into a zombie. She was trying to help him when he came at her with a hammer. That strange man in the black robe saved her when he shot the monster...with a shotgun. Hmm, maybe that was Louie after all. But why would he do something so terrible to Brianna and then turn around and rescue Sarah?

"Anyway, Sarah was helping the children who had survived in the Children's Ward. A helicopter had landed on the roof, but things were taking too long and it started to lift off. Sarah can run very fast, so she ran up there ahead of all the others, all by herself, heedless of her fears. She got there just in time to signal it, and it landed again. But by the time she got back down to the Children's Ward everyone was gone. She could have just left on the helicopter, but she insisted on trying to find the children. She heard a little girl screaming from way downstairs - I wonder if that was you, Brianna? She was about to go down to find her when a really awful monster from below got the constable from the helicopter. She and Aidan, the child welfare worker, had to run for it at that point. They did rescue one child, Dahlia, who had gone upstairs earlier. She called me from the chopper to tell me all this. They were on their way to some military outpost outside the city."

Lionel stands up again. "Well, let's go have at the door again. After defeating one of those zombies, I won't be stopped by a mere door."

Brianna goes to sit next to Ronald, pulling Mickey back out of the backpack again. She plays with Mickey for a moment, running her hands over his face and thinking on the crazy moments that had made up their adventure for the last while. Ronald was right...it hadn't been easy. And for some reason he was helping her, despite all the creepy people looking to take her away. He coulda been just like Louie and tried to take me away, but he didn't. He coulda just given up a long time ago....

Brianna slips her hand into Mickey and starts to move the mouth up and down. After a moment, she turns to Ronald,

"Cheer up, buddy ol' boy...you did your best, and that's all that matters! Besides, I'm surprised you didn't eat Brianna a long time ago....I hear deep fried kids are delicious! Wocka, wocka wocka!"

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2008 6:26 pm**

Agnes is trying to understand what Lionel said. After some moments she says to Ronald:
-I'm sorry, i didn't knew the full ordeal you suffered. It must have been awfull, and now being locked here, in a strange time doesn't help...

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2008 7:27 pm**

Lionel smiles when he hears Brianna's words. "Yes, that's exactly right, Ronald," he says as he helps try to force the door open. "What matters is that you try your best, even if you don't always succeed. That's what I always tell Sarah. She tries to save everyone and gets so sad when it's beyond her ability, but she always does her best. We're going to get out of this room, and then we're going to make the world safe for her, and for everyone."

Posted: **Sat Jan 26, 2008 3:57 am**

Ronald drags himslef to his feet and blows his nose on his shirt sleeve. He reaches for his banjo and plays a few chords for his new friends.

Thanks guys. You know all this talk of doing the right thing and giving it your best, warms the old strings. I think we can really do some good here. As long as we've got some friends by our side and love in our hearts.. we can do anythig. I dedicate this song to you Lionel. Keep on keepin brother...

Ronalald starts his inspirational music that pays the bills.

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh, stand, Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
All the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh, stand now, Stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me.

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh stand now, by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Posted: **Sat Jan 26, 2008 6:28 am**

Lionel applauds, his eyes welling up with tears. "Bravo!" he cheers. "That's just what we needed to restore our spirits. With friends like you, we can't help but succeed. The future looks brighter already."

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2008 3:57 am**

All the pushing, shoving and attempting to force the door simply doesn't seem to work. It isn't that the group doesn't appear strong enough, rather, it seems as though the door were almost moulded to the wall. Hitting it or shoving it is like hitting or shoving a brick wall. A dry crust seems to have formed in the cracks about the door. The cries for help made by those inside seems to echo back eerily.

There is a knock on the door, one, two, three.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2008 4:07 am**

"Hello!" calls Lionel. "Who's out there? This is Dr. Carpenter. Please let us out!"

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2008 4:16 am**

His voice echoes back to him.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2008 4:27 am**

Undaunted, Lionel knocks three times on the door just like the person on the other side had done.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2008 4:33 am**

The door knob rattles a moment and the door is slightly opened, unleashing some of the crust from the cracks in the door frame. Then footsteps, small footsteps, rush off, and a childish giggle can be heard. There is some crust in the door frame that makes it hard for the door to open but once it is opened, they can see their way into the kitchen, the staff looking at them curiously and possibly innocently. There is a small puddle of water before the door, as though someone wet had stood there.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2008 4:38 am**

Lionel smiles and holds the door open. "Ladies first," he says to Brianna and Agnes. He turns to the staff. "It appears someone accidentally blocked us in. Whoever let us out, you have my gratitude." He looks back to his friends. "Shall we go to the operating theatres first? I'll see if there's anyone who needs urgent care and let the nurses know about the bag. Then if there's nothing left for us to do here we can go to the pension and catch some shuteye. It's been a long night."

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2008 10:22 am**

-Thank you for whoever opened the door.
And then talking to the group:
-See? It was only an accident. But just in case, i don't think it will be a good idea that we ever enter a room like the storage all of us at the same time.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2008 6:45 pm**

Brianna grabs a few cans of food from the store room shelves and stuffs them in her backpack before happily leaving the cold little cellar.

Phew! Glad we're out of that mess....I think Mickey might be claustrophobic....or have tourrette's or something....I mean he called Agnes a whore!!!

"Why's the floor wet, Lionel?" she asks as she steps over the puddle.

Posted: **Tue Jan 29, 2008 9:21 pm**

Ronald looks around at the kitchen crew.

Do you see a kid come through here?

Not waiting for a response. Ronald grabs Brianna’s hand and pulls her down the hall, stopping briefly to explain himself.

Denial ain’t a river in Egypt Lionel. If you think you were brought back to this time to save lives as a doctor then knock yourself out. Millions of people died in this god aweful war. Yah can’t save em all.

Ronald pauses again and looks around the room for any kids (ethereal or otherwise)

I was thinking while we were locked up. Maybe those kids that were after Brianna were ghosts and they brought us here for a reason. Something bad is gonna happen to em in this time or maybe it already has. I’m going up to the children’s ward to get some answers. You could spend all day healing the sick Lionel. We could use your help with the nurse upstairs though….. Your welcome to come too Agnes. It’s time we stopped reacting and started working the bloody problem. I’m gonna try and help these kids so they leave us the H-E-double hockey sticks alone.

Ronald lets go of Brianna’s hand and apologizes…

Sorry sweetie. Do you want to come with me? Maybe we can help all those kids...

Posted: **Wed Jan 30, 2008 1:38 am**

Lionel nods to Agnes. "Absolutely right," he says quietly, "though I'm not so sure it was an accident." He walks along with Brianna and Ronald. "Brianna, I know you're hungry, but you should really put those back. They don't belong to you, they're Government property. We'll have some food that's much better than that later. I think the floor is wet from one of those children. I heard it laughing when it let us out. I don't know if it followed us or if it was here all along. Ronald, I know I can't save everyone, but I can save some people, and the children are the most important ones to save. Of course I'll go with you. Don't be afraid of the wet children. If they are ghosts or something, they're the victims in this and they're afraid too. I think if we treat them nice and if we're not scared of them, they won't hurt us. But I agree that it would be best if we can rescue the children who are still alive before they end up like that."

Posted: **Wed Jan 30, 2008 5:29 am**

Brianna shakes her head defiantly.

"I'm not putting the food back. No one saw me take it, number 1, and number 2, I'm starved. I wanna keep it." Brianna clutches her backpack protectively, and looks warily between Ronald and Lionel.

"And another thing. If those were those weird wet kids again, I'm outta here. And Ronald, I'm stickin' with you, if you're into running away from weird olden times crazy kids that laugh all strangely, then run away. They're like.....following us or something."

Brianna looks genuinely freaked out, and doesn't let go of Ronald's hand. She clutches it in a vice grip instead, likely making him wince a little.

Posted: **Wed Jan 30, 2008 5:36 am**

"It isn't right to take things that don't belong to you," says Lionel. "Whether or not anyone saw you isn't the point. I think the children in the Children's Ward are just normal kids. Those things haven't happened yet, remember. It's not too late for them."

Posted: **Wed Jan 30, 2008 6:25 am**

Ronald puts his hand out.

Lionel's right on both counts kiddo... extrememly old fashioned and incredibly boring... but totally right.
He holds out his hand, waiting for the cans of food.

I think we should focus all our energy on these kids Lionel. If they're alive and they they are who we think they are, we should get them all out of here as soon as we can. This whole hospital can burn for all I care....

Ronald smiles down at Brianna

Agnes is gonna make us a big dinner cupcake.... with all the fixings.. she promised didn't you Agnes. You'd really rather eat canned Tomatoes and Lima beans?

Posted: **Wed Jan 30, 2008 6:48 am**

"Ronald is right too, dear," says Lionel. "Except about the hospital burning, I would care about that, but the children must come first. We'll see if you recognize any of them after we put the cans back. In our particular situation, being old fashioned is somewhat of an advantage. And if getting blown up twice in one evening and bagging a zombie are boring, it's a very good thing I'm not exciting." Lionel grins.

Posted: **Wed Jan 30, 2008 7:07 am**

Ronald smiles back at Lionel... and states enthusiastically.

You're a rockstar Lionel.... A man out of time.... A heart of gold... Now let's save those kids old man!

ooc - Ronald was a motivational singer/song writer before all this craziness started.

Posted: **Wed Jan 30, 2008 10:14 am**

-You know Brianna, Mr Ronald and Doctor Lionel are right, and you could get in serious trouble. I will pay you a dinner right now, and then we will look for those children; after all, they do not know about the future and your existence.

Posted: **Wed Jan 30, 2008 7:50 pm**

"What's a dinner cupcake? Does it have frosting on it?" Brianna warily hands over the cans of food and scowls a little afterwards. "I'm hungry now though....and mum says I shouldn't eat sweets before my supper."

The lack of everyday routines seems to be taking a toll on Brianna, as she hangs her head and slumps over a little. "Are we really going after those wet kids, and gonna see if we can find them? Is that your guys plan? To go looking for them, even though they chased us up the stairs and freaked us out?"

Posted: **Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:44 am**

"This may be before they become those wet children," says Lionel. "If they're currently in the Children's Ward we can save them now, and then that will never happen to them. I think one of those children may have let us out, so they're not all bad. I'm not sure why they chased you. Maybe they thought it was a game and they don't really understand what's going on. Anyway, your mum is right that you shouldn't eat sweets before dinner, but you can certainly eat some afterwards. The nice nurse will buy us all something. Actually, we've been up all night so it's really time for breakfast. We could have toast with jam and marmalade, perhaps. That's much better than whatever's in those tins. After we check on the children and have something to eat, we can get some sleep."

Posted: **Thu Jan 31, 2008 10:03 am**

-So we go first see the children? Follow me then.

Posted: **Thu Jan 31, 2008 7:16 pm**

Ronald laughs out loud at Brianna.

Dinner Cupcake? You bet kiddo. They put spaghetti and meatballs in that wee cup of cakey goodness! Some blokes like it with Shepard’s pie but I’m more of a curried chicken kinda fellow. Then they slather it in icing sugar or strawberry jam if you prefer and voila…. Dinner Cupcake…

Ronald continues laughing, trying to keep Brianna’s spirits up as they make their way towards the children’s ward. His good mood can only last so long however and Ronald can’t help but think about what Lionel said about the children.

So Lionel…you don’t think it was a ghost that let us out? What about the puddle of water we saw? If the ghosts are here maybe we can try and communicate with them. The temple, if it even exists in this time, would be a good place to start. This is really freaking me out old man.... All this talk of ghosts and time travel… and me carrying on about it like I was gabbing about the bloody weather.

Ronald sighs and forces a smile.

I think we should consider the possibility that we might be able to get back to the future through the temple Lionel. If we could find records or something that tell us what happened to those kids and when… Maybe we could find our way back here to stop it.

Ronald rubs his head, clearly out of his league, and looks over to Agnes, who must feel quite out of the loop at this point in the conversation.

You know much about the hospital Agnes?

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2008 12:27 am**

Lionel helps the others return the tins to the pantry, making sure someone is holding the door open at all times. Then he follows Agnes towards the Children's Ward. "Actually, Brianna, I thought Ronald was calling you a cupcake," he says with a smile. "Thank you, Ronald, for restoring an old man's spirits." He lowers his voice and looks around to make sure they aren't being overheard. "Remember, we must be careful about talking about such things in public. I'm not sure if those children you mentioned were ghosts or something else, but I do believe one of them let us out and we do need to try to communicate with them. We've likely arrived too late to prevent some of the children from ending up like that, but we can still save the others. You two saw the wet children where we came from, so you'll recognize them if any are still among the living. Unless there's an emergency, we should meet Daniel and Annie in the library after we've gotten some rest and discuss everything we know with them before venturing into that temple. As for going home...well, you know what awaits us there, and we might not be able to return here again even if it's possible. As much as I wish I could see Sarah again, we must lay the groundwork for preventing the tragedy that is to come before we can depart. Although...what if we could arrive before we left? Then we'd have time to set things right, but would it be enough? We need a lot more information first, and I believe we'll find some of the answers we seek here and now."

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2008 4:25 am**

Brianna licks her lips. "Mm...spagetti and meatballs...with garlic bread. Yum! Shepherd's pie? That's good too! And so's curried chicken!" She makes a face at Ronald, "Hey, quit talking about food. It's bad enough we're right by the kitchen. Think they can spare some bacon and eggs?" She wanders into the kitchen after handing the cans of food over, and approaches one of the cooks.

"Whatcha making for breakfast? I'm soo hungry."

She looks over her shoulder to make sure the group doesn't get too far ahead of her, then turns back to the cook and smiles.

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2008 6:27 am**

The cook scowls at her. "Look, you ain't meant to be in 'ere! Quit pesterin' us! I don't even know why're ya were in that damn cupboard... Scram..." Then she tosses Brianna a piece of freshly baked bread with a lining of butter and gives her a wink.

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2008 6:30 am**

"Thank you, we won't bother you any further," says Lionel. He grins at Brianna. "Let's go."

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2008 7:15 am**

Brianna smacks her lips and bites happily into the bread. "Oh yum! Fresh bread! Imagine it with some good ol' raspberry jam....now that would be heaven!" Brianna grins back at Lionel and pokes Ronald in the ribs. "Right Ronald?" She quickly mumbles "thank you" to the cook before skedaddling out of the kitchen. "Ok let's go!"

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2008 10:13 am**

-I don't know very well this place, remember, i'm only a volunteer. But what do you prefer? To go immediatly to the children ward or eat something?
Anyway, Agne is leaving the kitchen.

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2008 12:57 am**

"Well, now that Brianna has some food," says Lionel. "I'm willing to wait to eat if you two are. I had some popcorn back at the cinema shortly before this all started. Raspberry jam would hit the spot, I agree. The Children's Ward may still be in the same place I remember it, on the first floor. We could try there first."
