FTEC, Saturday, March 4, Night

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

Tommy came into the clinic for his evening shift. He checked what passed for the charting system and the various beds.

Exam One had a guest. Possibly two if Callisto was still with Angel

"Huh. Ricky Martin's back," he said. He noted the whole fever/injury/blah blah blah that Dr. Lambert and Troy had made note of. Not like Tommy knew from vampires so he assumed whatever the two of them had done was okay.

He also noted that, surprise surprise, the guy needed to drink blood. There was a comment about pig's blood running out in the fridge but Tommy ignored it. There was plenty of human blood around that was ready to go to waste from age. When the time came Tommy figured he could use that.

In the meanwhile he lit a cigarette and settled down to read the paper at his desk.

One of these days he really needed to get the TV fixed.

[ooc: Tommy's on slowplay until around 9pm Eastern. But Angel's coma-boy so anybody who wants to can come visit.]
[ooc: OCD threads a-coming up.]



***

[Angel notes: He's in a coma right now and will remain so until Alfred does his thing. That means in theory you don't need me around to visit him, but I'll be around and pingable in a couple of hours in case you do. Otherwise if you're just standing by the bedside and chatting with other players no need to wait for me. Feel free to mod Tommy grunting a greeting and not being arsed to put his paper down if you're not a patient. Also feel free to mod Angel sweating with fever, occasionally moaning especially if Bel's hand is on his thigh, looking sickly, etc. Don't feed, attempt to cure, or examine him without checking with me. The exception to this is Paige who is welcome to come in and do her attempt to heal whenever she's up for it.]

Exam One - Angel

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel was lying in the bed. The wound in his shoulder wasn't looking any better. His skin was still burning hot to the touch. Occasionally he twitched, or moaned, but he was otherwise unresponsive.

She walked in from the office after hitting up Tommy for drugs and stood helplessly at the foot of the bed.

Angel.

She tried to swallow the lump in her throat as she watched him sweat and writhe and moan and not in any kind of sexy way either. Regardless of what he'd done when he was Angelus, he'd helped her that one night...and no matter what he was a student and for the moment he was alone. She sat down next to him, not really certain what she could do except not leave him all alone.

Woken by the sounds of someone in the room, Callisto's hand dropped to try and find a dagger that wasn't there. She blinked owlishly. "Wha?"

Re: Exam One - Angel

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, Callisto! I didn't see you there. You about gave me a heart attack."

She recovered quickly and walked over to the girl.

"Have you been here all night, hon?"

"Professor?" Callisto rubbed her eyes. "Didn't want the bitch finishing the job."

Technically, she wasn't on duty, so she technically shouldn't bother checking on him...but she still found herself standing beside the bed, redressing his wound, and making further notes on his chart. The poison had slowed its progress, circulating slower as he was less active. Force-feeding him had little effect; it seemed to keep death at bay, but Nat wasn't sure just how much longer even that would work. But how did one fight a poison that could bring even a vampire down?

Sighing, she made her last notes and moved back out of the room quietly. There had to be an antidote out there somewhere. She just hoped someone could find it.

Tommy was at his desk reading a newspaper and smoking a cigarette. It's possible he can be bothered to give you an aspirin or the time of day.

Re: Tommy

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Note to self: swinging a sledgehammer, no matter how much fun it is, creates aches and pains unlike any other.

She headed into the clinic for some real help before she resorted to a hot bath and a bottle of wine, because a hot bath would be far more work than she wanted to try to deal with.

She stared at him for a second, smoking in the clinic. She shook her head and leaned back against his office doorjamb.

"Take pity on a poor girl in pain?"

Re: Tommy

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Yo, Legs," Tommy said with pleased surprise. "What's up?"

Re: Tommy

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Would you believe me if I said I missed your sunshine personality?"

She walked in and sat opposite him, "Probably not, huh? Yeah. Can you give me anything for pain? The ibuprofen isn't cutting it. Next time I'll make the kids do all the work. My shoulders are really messed up from demolishing the wall in my office."

Re: Tommy

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Demolishing the wall in your office?" Tommy asked. "What'd you do that for?"

Re: Tommy

[drlambert.livejournal.com]

Nat breezed in, shaking her head at Tommy and the ever-present cigarette. Asking him to put it out would probably cause more headaches than it was worth. She was just glad that the oxygen tanks were kept in the back of the clinic, well away from his usual smoking area. Just what was it with firefighters and cigarettes, anyway?

She gave him a slight smile as she reached for Angel's chart. "Mister Gavin," she said by way of greeting.

Re: Tommy

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Canada," Tommy replied.

Re: Tommy

[drlambert.livejournal.com]

She chuckled. Her eyes scanned over her notes from the previous night, and then the notes Dr. Troy made the following day. "How's the shift so far?"

Re: Tommy

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Pretty quiet," Tommy said. "Just got your moaning boy in Exam One. How's your night going?"

Re: Tommy

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto didn't quite stumble out of Exam One, but it was a close thing. "You're Tommy?"

Re: Tommy

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Tommy said. "What can I do for you, sweetheart?"

[ooc: Got me just as I was going to bed. Feel free to mod Tommy giving her coffee/pointing her to the fridge/whatever as needed. Anything else will have to be slowplay]

Re: Tommy

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Professor Cregg said there was coffee?" Callisto asked hopefully.

Wordlessly Tommy poured and handed her a cup, which Callisto took gratefully. "Thanks."

OOC

Just in case we need it.

Re: OOC

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Argh she still doesn't know about Angel and I have to go to bed soon, tomorrow, if she finds out before then, otherwise I could just have her come into clinic to see if she's needed for any hours. :/

Re: OOC

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Sorry!! I haven't had the chance to rp with Crichton yet, which means I can't send V to the clinic to find out that Angel was poisoned which means I can't have her tell the other girls what is going on!

Re: OOC

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Well I have permission to backdate and stuff so we could play tonight tomorrow right? Then I can come try to heal Angel, *kicks timezones yet again*

Also no worries I know how these things go.

Re: OOC

[drlambert.livejournal.com]

V -- you want Nat to give V or Logan a call, seeing as how she can't really notify next of kin?

Re: OOC

[ladder62.livejournal.com]

That's fine. Same thing stands for tomorrow then. She can come by whenever, even if I'm not online.

Re: OOC

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Cool, I'll try to wait til you are about, but yeah I don't need Angel there to react really do I, *pets the poor sexy vamp*
