"Anybody who wants to stay here with Bacardi and Barilla can- it may be safer, but I don't know. I'm going up to the infirmary. B & B- keep an eye out for Velvet, yeah?"
My gaze flicks back to Tulle. I'm torn- if she stayed here she m…

I gather all the folks that aren't patients in the Entry/Triage area.
"Ok. We're not exactly sure what we're dealing with here- explosions of some kind." I'm using my best leader voice. "I'm not sure yet if we'll have to evacuate, so I wan…

Braun can stay with Satin for all I care, though if Velour isn't happy about it I'll try to come up with an arrangement she can live with.
"Yeah, everybody seems ok. We might head up to the infirmary for Satin." I tell Bacardi and Barilla.…

I look at Tooheys. "Where's Silk?" Velvet I'd like to have with me, but he may fare better on his own. We should see if we can find Braun, then Silk, unless she's in one of the private rooms. Then maybe to the infirmary for Satin.
I look u…

I give Tulle a look. "Of course I paid rent. I was bitching about it the other night." I take the flashlight. I dig into the nightstand and hand her a small pistol- it's got ten shots in it if we're lucky. I take the shears for myself.
"Ye…

Nah, we didn't frak. She was tired, so I didn't push it. Janco came to visit me on her lunch break- things with her have been ok. She gave Tulle a weird look in the cafeteria once, but I wasn't there, so who knows what that was about. Satin…
Of course she does. She has good work, clothes to wear and food to eat. Even a bed to sleep in she doesn't share with four other girls.
I want to tell her that I like her here, but I can't bring myself to do it. I murmur understanding and close my …
"Yeah, the one with both legs is a council member." She's sharp, too. And pregnant, but I am not talking about babies with Tulle. I run my fingers through her hair a bit.
"I won't." I tell her, taking one of her hands in mine. There's a tiny sliver of doubt in my mind, but overwhelmingly I want to help this woman and I'm confident that I can. I slide my other hand under her neck, touching skin.
"I'm going to use my …
Of course. The hope I didn't know I was holding deflates. I can't blame her- I always look out for myself first. That's why I've never pursued any hints of feelings I had towards anyone. Feelings make you care about someone else more than yourself- …
"I... no, not you." I pull her close. "Was mad at myself. I don't know how... I've never..." Emotions beat at my brain like water to a dam. Maybe I should tell her. But what if she's just another girl who'll frak me for jingle until she's done with …
I lean back against the wall, thoughtful for a second. "That's the thing- I learned more about myself that time. I mean, I saw a little of the pain he tries to hide, but the rest... it's different with each person."
I'm glad I didn't learn any secr…
I take her hand and stand up. "You saw how fast Rinso healed the other day?" I ask her. "It's sort of like that. I can heal people with my brain- I don't know how I can and Janco can't. It's weird. But I connect my brain to yours, and tell your brai…
I put my arm over her and pull her closer. What the frak am I doing? The business man in me is screaming, but I'm so mellowed out I don't listen.
I chuckle. Enthusiastic is one way to put it. "She was trying to get me off first." I explain. Lots of…
"Yes. Come in." I was nearly asleep, but glad her voice woke me. "If we hadn't just finished I'd have suggested you come in before." It's an act- of course that's a thing I'd say. I slide over, hoping she'll join me.
OOC: Proper's special move:
*Ho…
I laugh and cry at the same time and it comes out as a choking cough. I stay on the floor- I can't move right now. I'd intended this as a point- that so long as the trigger was there, it could be exploited. Now I realize that I've shown her I can co…
"Not... not now." I answer. Maybe in another hour, when I'm so far in my own head I go catatonic myself. "Thank you." I twist around so I can press the side of my head and a hand to the door- wishing I could hold his hand. Knowing I can't.
"I can't." I tell him, my voice weak and my head still hanging. "It's... complicated." I just can't let him in. Let him see her like this. If she wakes up and sees him in there she might actually kill me.
And if she doesn't wake up... I can't. I ju…
I smile and laugh a bit- but don't return her kissy face.
After the door closes I lay back down, stretching my arms up, then resting my head in my hands. Frak- that was fun.
Oh god! I wipe my face. I want to let him in, have him hold me while I look at the person I violated. I choke back a sob.
"Yeah." I say weakly. "I'm ok. Thanks." I don't have the willpower to tell him to go away, though I know I should.
How did I …
An hour, she just lays there, staring at the ceiling. I don't give her a single other order, though I want her to pull the damn blanket over her placid face.
I start to wonder if she'll ever come out of it- did I just turn her into a drone? I want …
"Yes, we should." I tell her, feeling quite proud, actually. "You gonna be ok to walk?" I mean, I'm not gonna walk her back or anything, but I don't want her to fall over outside my door.
I stay in bed- my own legs are a bit wobbly and I'd like to …
"Oh. I thought you might need my help. I guess not." My brain is a million miles away. "... Uh, something from before." I tell her, hoping my tone will convince her to drop it- even if only for now.
"I've got Svenja in the psych room- she's not th…
"Nah, I'm good, but thanks." I say, smiling at her. I'll lay next to her for a little while- not snuggling or anything. Enjoying this little moment of peace.
A tear slides down my cheek. Is it worth it? I hope so.
"Lay down on the bed." I tell her. After she does so I wheel her bed into an empty room, across the hall from the room Janco has ScottTowel in. It's the room we use for patients who may get vi…
Yeah, no- that's not a game I'm going to lose. I smirk and tease her nipples, letting her think she's winning for a bit. After a while of neither of us giving ground, I slide my hand down her stomach, then lower. I rub my thumb over her clit, enjoyi…
I wish I could be as certain as her of it not being a risk. I sort of hate myself for a second- robbing someone of their free will is a terrible violation. I don't feel like I have a choice, though it's little consolation.
"Weeping willows reach to…
It is different- without the anger, the frustration. It's slower- playful, even. Exploration. The urgency isn't there- for a while anyway.
I blow that tuft of pink hair out of my face and grin at her. I revel in her grunts and moans now. Just good…
When she laughs- I feel... happy, for a moment. I actually smile- a real one.
"Beautiful, I'm just getting started." I tell her, pulling her on top of my chest and kissing her.
