FTEC, Friday [08/05]

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe wasn't sure what kind of state the clinic would be in when she arrived, but luckily, the place looked better than she expected. Once she'd gotten things cleaned up, she got onto the computer and resumed her search for anything that could explain what was going on in town. Rocks that made people go crazy was a really familiar concept for her, but this was way beyond anything she'd seen before.

Talk to Chloe

[mycanonhatesme]

Who doesn't have claws or a tail. Sorry Scully!

Re: Talk to Chloe

"Looks like I came back to the island just in time," Ronan said, smiling a little wryly. "Want me around today?"

Re: Talk to Chloe

[mycanonhatesme]

"If you wouldn't mind sticking around, I'd love for you to stay," Chloe said. "I'm hoping people will suck it up and come to get checked out, but I'm also hoping everyone will stay inside and not get eaten, you know?" She smiled at him. "I knew it couldn't stay quiet for long."

Re: Talk to Chloe

Ronan couldn't help but snort. "I think the chances of people staying in on this island are... minimal at best," he pointed out. Let's ignore the part where he was in the middle of the fray himself not two days ago, although he did make it out without a scratch. "The chances of everyone coming in to get checked out are only slightly better. Although Reno did say he'd escort in anyone he found outside who got injured.

"Has there been much word on what, exactly, is going on?" he asked. "I mean, I know what I saw in here yesterday -- Ms. Scully's been positively transformed, and I had a patient who was exhibiting symptoms of the early stages of what looked like the same mutation."

"I don't think anyone's figured out exactly what's affecting people," Chloe said, "except that it's spreading and there's no way to heal it yet. Which is going to be problematic if people show up, but maybe we can at least make them comfortable?"

"I came to help," Stark said as he entered. "Or try, at least." Not that it seemed like there was much, really, to be done for anyone turning grey. He could at least help make them comfortable. And if things took a turn for the terminal, well, he was a useful sort of Banik to have around if that sort of thing happened. Not that it would. He hoped.

Re: Talk to Chloe

[mycanonhatesme]

"Hi!" Chloe said brightly, out of both general happiness to see him and caffeine overload. "I'm glad you're here. And I'm glad you're doing okay. At least, it looks like you are."

Re: Talk to Chloe

[stykera]

"Hello. No. I'm not turning gray," Stark assured her. "Or trying to eat anyone. I think I'm okay. Are you?" She looked it. And if nothing else, she was in better shape than Scully had been last night.

"I'm definitely not feeling the cannibalism," Chloe said. "I guess I should count myself lucky. As much as I like how informative the radio is, it's kind of heartbreaking to hear how many people are sick."

Other Doctors/Healers/Etc.

[mycanonhatesme]

Who will be given coffee and kind thoughts in exchange for their services.

While it was tempting to head for the portal back to Maryland after an encounter with a teal deer, Ryan came back to the clinic. She knew she'd feel awful for running out when people needed help.

Re: Other Doctors/Healers/Etc.

[mycanonhatesme]

"Hi there," Chloe said, giving the girl a grateful smile. "If you tell me you're here to help, I might hug you, unless hugs make you uncomfortable, in which case I will totally keep my hands to myself."

Sorry Ryan, someone was on her fourth cup of coffee today.

Re: Other Doctors/Healers/Etc.

[serial-quitter.livejournal.com]

"I'm here to help, but you can save the hug. I'm just happy to be of assistance," said Ryan, smiling in return. "I'm not sure what I should be doing, so feel free to order me around if I get in the way."

Re: Other Doctors/Healers/Etc.

[mycanonhatesme]

"Right now, you can just relax and hang out here where nothing will try to bite you," Chloe said. "I don't know how much help any of us will be, but I'm trying to be optimistic."

Re: Other Doctors/Healers/Etc.

Ronan will be more than happy to drink the coffee; he could use the energy boost after the last few days.

Re: Other Doctors/Healers/Etc.

[serial-quitter.livejournal.com]

While getting some coffee for herself, Ryan thought she should get acquainted with some of the other volunteers, just in case she needed help later.

"Does stuff like this happen often around here?" she asked.

Re: Other Doctors/Healers/Etc.

[not_in_the_book]

Ronan smiled. "Something's trying to eat us," he said. "Must be August."

He held out a hand. "Ronan Nolan. New to the island?"

Re: Other Doctors/Healers/Etc.

[stykera]

Stark wasn't sure how much good he could do here. If he could do something, though, that would be enough.

For now he was sipping some of the aforementioned coffee. And waiting.

Her healing wasn't working, but Raven was there to try at least to help. She could still alleviate anxiety and deal with any non-infection injuries.

Get Treated

[mycanonhatesme]

By an NPC nurse or someone else!

Re: Get Treated

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

Scully was heavily sedated and also? Tied down with those nifty terrycloth restraints. She'd slept through most of the day as her nails, teeth, and tail lengthened.

But now she was starting to surface. And tugging on the ties. "Grrrrrrr...."

Re: Get Treated

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe had been peeking in on Scully every once in a while while she'd been sleeping, but the sound of growling brought her right back in. "Well, look who's finally awake. Kind of," she said from the nice, safe doorway.

Re: Get Treated

[showmetheproof.livejournal.com]

Scully was growling, and working on one wrist. Her expression was... not happy.

"Let. Me. Go."

Hang Out in the Lobby

[mycanonhatesme]

It's a safe place, really!

OOC!

[mycanonhatesme]

Yes, I'm an OCD stealer and I'm not changing my ways! :P
