Alex was fully relieved when the boat appeared in the water. After that string of bad events, they needed something good to happen to them. He wasted no time getting aboard and finally being able to rest his body. Still he remained silent as always as he watched the boat sail away from the wreckage.​

The following things also made him somewhat happy. First they arrived at a dock which was followed by the arrival of a car. Then they arrived at the inn where they were given the option of heading to the clinic if they were injured or head inside and rest up. Sure Alex had a few cuts and bruises here and there, but there were clearly others who were worse off than he was. There was no point of him going if he would just take up unnecessary space. Seeing just how many people were heading over there just proved his point.

Making his way into the inn, he took a quick look around. It seemed welcoming enough, not that he was in any position to complain about it. He spent another moment trying to figure out who this Cane person was. Picking out who he assumed to be Cane, he started to make his way towards her. "Um, P-Patrick said to see you f-for a room key." In response, he was given a room key. Giving her a quick nod, he headed towards the designated room. He wasn't feeling too tired so, but tired enough to take a nap. Plopping down on the bed, he slowly closed his eyes and began his nap.

The bandage wrapped tightly around Bryan's forehead had been anything but unnoticeable. He sighed. The ferry flipping thing had been completely awful, and he was still a little shaken up, but he took the time to comfort some of the others before and after being treated.

The only one he hadn't talked to . . . Bryan couldn't help but feel like Noëlle was avoiding him . . . and he couldn't help but feel bad. Was she mad at him? He couldn't think of why. The thoughts and worries just made him feel dejected and a little worthless that he couldn't protect or save her. She probably hated him. He wouldn't blame her . . .

He thought he had found the perfect opportunity to talk to her, but before he did, another boy appeared, asking her if she was alright. Bryan faltered and frowned. I guess I can try some other time . . .

The adults were nice and pleasant to be around, and there was nothing he liked better than talking to a few of them. They did seem a little out of the ordinary, but most people were so he didn't pay attention to it.

With a yawn, Bryan made his way back to the inn and found the dining room to ask for a snack. One of the cooks gave him an apple to munch on, and he twirled a seat to sit in and rest for a bit. A pair of footsteps entered the room and when Bryan looked up, he saw a pale-skinned Sophie wrapped in a fluffy white towel. His face went red as she got an apple from the cook, too.

"S - Sophie," he said, jumbling her name, "You should really put more clothes o - on . . . You're gonna get sick!"

She shrugged him off and ate the apple, soon asking for a second one.

Bryan tried not to pay attention to the scantily dressed girl. She looked bored -- did she really not care about only wearing a towel in public?!

As he munched on a banana, the day was starting to get to him. He wanted to look for his sister, but he was afraid that she might not want to see him . . . He couldn't believe how things were turning out; the forest fire and the ferry sinking, back to back. If he didn't know better, he'd say this was some kind of divine plan!

I sure wish I had my phone . . . Noëlle hadn't messaged him back, which only boost his fears -- but he took a little comfort in knowing that . . . well, all of their phones were probably kaput.

Lexi held Stratana's hand. "It's okay, I got you. You can overcome it, you're better than you think, okay?" She smiled at her friend. "I'll be here every step of the way for you."

Meanwhile, Natalie held onto Sebastian's Arm. She had been shaken up by everything. Her arm probably needed to be looked at, but she didn't care. She didnt want Lexi or Sebastian to die while she was there. Heck, even the girl that was with Lexi. Natalie didnt know her, but she deserved a chance too.

Lexi approached the lady at the front desk. "Patrick said to see you for a room key. May my friend and I have one?" She asked politely. The lady gave her one. "Thank you." Lexi said. "Come on Stratana." She looked back at Natalie, with a look that said "are you coming?", but the young girl shook her head.

Lexi just led Stratana to the room and opened the door. "Well, here we are."

It was a nice cozy room. A bit too pink for Lexi's taste, but at least it was something.

 

Stratana followed her friend in suit, all the way up to the room they'd received. 'Oh my God!' Pink taffy decor littered the room everywhere from the bedsheets to the curtains to the wallpaper. "Ugh! All this candy!" Stratana's stomach gurgled again. But it was settled when she realized her current source of strength. Lexi had saved her life recently, along with making her feel less insecure; maybe she could complain a little less and thank someone for a change? "Ummm... Lexi..." She rubbed her arm, but upon realizing how much she could dig into her arms with her fingers, she put her hands to her side. "I just wanted to say 'Thank you', for earlier... when you saved my life. Besides that... you've been really kind, and I haven't had to pay you or anything; which is odd because no one really seems to like me here. If you want, we can st in my bed and paint our nails, or talk. You know, real friend stuff... that I don't usually get." Stratana was really opening up. Not just to Lexi, but to herself. It was that empty spot in her that she was feeding before, and now she didn't really feel the need to fill it anymore with munchables.

Sebastian was concerned about Natalie's arm. "You shouldn't bunk alone with that arm like that. I'm getting my room now; if you don't want to visit the clinic or don't want to sleep alone in a room, then I'm sure I can take a chair or something if there's one bed. You've had quite a day, and I think you could use some fandom talk to help you feel better, huh?" He expounded his worriment, at last taking on a British accent for the last part that he said, "Trust me, I'm a Doctor." Upon that, he turned and received a room from Cane, who actually kind of reminded him of himself, in a bit of a creepy, mutually lankiness sort of way.

Once up in the room, he settled into one of the two beds that had been designed around the general theme of the room: Chocolate Chip cookies. He lifted one of the brown sheets adorned with plush chocolate-shaded bumps and fluffed up a cylinrical cookie pillow. He didn't know if Natalie would take his suggestion, but he hoped he would... he agreed with Jenna how odd this whole circumstance and setting was. He wanted to keep his friends close, and his enemies far away; not his usual policy, but still...

Lexi smiled at Stratana. She wasnt into that girly stuff, but Stratana seemed really happy to have made a friend, so she decided to give it a go. "Sure. That sounds nice. I don't usually get that since I don't much like it, but I'll try anything once!"

It was really weird. Lexi had just met this girl, and already, she felt incredibly attatched to her. Was this... Love? Or was it just wanting to be her friend. Either way, she didnt fight it, and just decided to spend all the time she could with Stratana.

Natalie followed Sebastian up to his room with her suitcase. "Are you sure I can stay in here? I don't wanna intrude on you..." Natalie said. She was unusually timid right now, although that could be because she had almost faced death by drowning in a sinking boat. Whatever the case, Sebastian was being REALLY nice.

 

Stratana threw her soaked bag off her back and onto a stretched of taffy-looking rubbery carpet. Digging past the barely touched clothes, she glanced over her cupid's brew before pulling out a couple of bottles of nail polish. Blue for me, pink for her; we can match! She squeed with glee as she handed Lexi the Pink bottle and hopped into one of the beds, tucking her legs underneath her rump as she sat. She readjusted her tube top as it sank down a little with her jumping around, and immediately set to work about her nails. "So, you never did get a chance to answer my question about having a boy friend. Have someone at home maybe? I don't. Between you and me, I usually tend to have "toys" compared to actual romances." She confessed with a sly smirk.

Sebastian made sure Natalie was settled into her own bed before taking his own. "I don't mind one bit. In fact, you're the one who should be suspicious of my offer. Teenage boys usually don't open their rooms up to pretty young girls without dubious intention. I however, am a bit more mature than all that. I actually do care you're hurt." He checked over her arm lightly, careful not to touch it too much, but prodding here and there lightly with his fingertips. He wasn't a real doctor, but he knew anatomy pretty well. He smiled. "Probably just a hairline fracture; just don't put any weight down on it, or lift anything heavy, and it should heal on its own." With that said, Sebastian locked the door and left the lights on. He grabbed one of a pair of Chocolatey bathrobes and changed out of his wet suit before settling into bed. Right as he passed by her, he tossed Natalie the other bathrobe. "Hadn't thought of this, but sleeping in wet clothes won't do your system any favors. I'd help you with the arm problem and all..but you know. Modesty and those sorts of things." Sebastian joked before he hopped right into bed and covered up. But maybe he would stay up just a little bit longer... he tried to think of a reason not to, but instead he did wind up venturing over to Natalie's bed, to sit on the edge of it. "Ever travel through time with that Sonic Screwdriver?" He asked audibly.

Pierce had lost everything after the ferry flipped. She was still soaking wet by the time they showed up at the inn. Would she have to spend the night in a towel? Something about the whole situation seemed off. Everything was so quiet and empty. These people were overly accommodating. Why had they taken them here rather than just bringing them to the shore and letting the police get them situated and sent home? Red flags had been raised in her mind. There weren't very many of them that were brought here. Only four counselors were with them and there was about fifteen campers. Where was everyone else? If this couple was going to help them, why wouldn't they help the rest of the people that were on the ferry?

She had no need for the clinic. Pierce just needed sleep and possibly a shower if she could keep herself standing up for that long. She copied everyone else and got a room key, trudging slowly up the stairs and to the designated guest room. A chill ran down her spine and she couldn't help but feel like she was being watched. This place seriously gave her the creeps. I just want to go home. Why couldn't they just leave us when we reached the shore so that we could go home? She wished her stuff handed been lost in the depths of the ocean water or that her phone wasn't ruined.

Her chest stung as she opened the door and tears pricked at her eyes. All of her stuff was gone. First someone stole some of her pictures, now the rest of them--including the locket--were never going to be recovered. Daddy I'm sorry. Would he be mad at her if he knew? Pierce sucked in air and walked into the small guest room. It was quaint and relaxing. She wanted to flop down on the bed and go to sleep for the next year, but then it would get damp. She needed a shower first.

Pierce walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet. Steam quickly filled the room as she stripped out of the soaked layers of clothes. They made a squishing sound as they fell into a heavy wet pile on the floor. Her long hair was a tangled mess, but fortunately it had been in a braid which made it slightly more manageable. Little white dots clung to her hair as the salt from the ocean dried on her skin. She unbound the hair binder from the bottom of the braid and stepped inside the shower. It felt wonderful. She actually felt like she could relax this way. The tension in her muscles loosened and her whole body slowly began to feel at ease.

When she finished, Pierce wrapped a fluffy white towel around her body and used a second for her hair. She rinsed her clothes off in the tub so that they wouldn't be covered in salt water, then hung them from the curtain rod. She proceeded to blow dry her hair and hang one of the towels up on a hook on the back of the door before slipping into bed with the other still tightly around her body. She wasn't a fan of sleeping naked, but at least like this it was almost as if she were sleeping in a dress--sort of.

She sat down on the bed, picking at the hem of the towel, her back resting against the wall. It felt cool on her bare shoulders. She wished there was a television in the room; she hadn't seen one in the lobby either. It would be nice to catch up on the news report about the ferry. Her stomach was in knots thinking about all the people that could/did die. Soft brown hair fell in her face and Pierce lifted her naked arms to pull it to the side. She didn't want to put it up, because then it would leave a crease and be more difficult to manage given the fact that she didn't have a brush.

"Why JUST toys? Real relationships are nice... I mean, they do go wrong, but..." Lexi looked at the nail polish. 'Ugh, Pink!' She hated pink. Lexi glanced at Stratana, "Suppose I should tell you about my love life, right?

"Well, the first boy I ever fancied was called Rory." She paused. "...Actually, she was called Nina. We were in love, then she went off and cheated on me with another girl. I kinda lost control and ran Nina over though..." Lexi said it so casually that it was clear she didn't regret it at all.

Natalie's eyes widened. Her birthday present had been in her pocket when the ferry sank! She desperately felt around for it, and it was there. That was the good news, but... It wouldn't work. It had been underwater. She pulled it out and tried pressing the button. No dice. "Well, looks like I won't be anytime soon..." She chucked it on the floor. Natalie sighed. Of course, that was the least of her worries, since she had been in the water enough to last the rest of her life.

One of her biggest fears was drowning, and it all went back to when she was a kid. Her mother left her in the tub, but the faucet handle had broken off, and she couldn't stop the water. If her mother hadn't arrived on time...

She shook her head. She couldn't break down. Not now. Natalie noticed that Sebastian threw a bathrobe at her.

"I'd help you with the arm problem and all..but you know. Modesty and those sorts of things."

She giggled. "I wouldn't mind it if you helped me." Obviously playing along (for now), she went into the bathroom and changed. She came back out. "Sorry I wasn't paying attention, I just kinda freaked when you mentioned my sonic..."

Quentin noticed that the doctors had just called for her, but a girl beside her jumped up to take her place. Noëlle seemed startled by it and didn't know to do. He didn't recognize her, but he was grateful. Noëlle turned toward him instead. She smiled. That's better.

"Quentin. Yeah, I'm okay. Just a little . . . Shaken up. I don't know, it's been a long day. Besides my arm, I think I'm alright . . ." He looked at her arm again and was tempted to pull up her sleeve. "What about you?" He smiled back and bowed slightly, but she seemed distracted.

"As you see me. I'm fine except for losing my things . . ." He trailed off and began to frown. She was biting her lip. Definitely upset. Was she lying? He followed her eyes and saw a girl entering a room with a doctor. It seemed innocent enough at first glance, but anything that worried his girls worried him. "What's wrong?"

She shrugged, clearly not wanting to talk about it. He didn't pry. A few minutes passed before the doctor came out and called for her again. She went in this time. He stepped back outside and waited for her.

When she came back out, she was walking briskly and looked extremely unhappy. He looked back at the clinic with disgust. What did you do to her? When he turned back to follow his girl, she was already inside the inn, getting her key from Cane. He ran over, but she ran up the stairs. He called out to her as she entered her room, but she either didn't hear or ignored it.

He tried to open the door, but it was locked by the time he got there. He raised his hand to knock, but heard something and reconsidered. Is she crying? What the hell did they do?! His mind reeled as it ran through the possibilities. He didn't know what to do with a crying girl in any of them. It took him several minutes to stop fidgeting. Eventually, he decided it didn't matter and opted to sit in font of her door.

I'll wait until she stops crying, then ask to come in. He listened to the sound of her sobbing breaths and counted the minutes. It would have peaceful if for the crying. He closed his eyes and breathed in the sweet scent of the hallway. It was making him sleepy. At least she's safe . . . He listened, but she didn't stop crying. He was alseep before he got to thirty.

 

"I wouldn't mind it if you helped me." He thought to this, 'Well, no mysteries there whether she likes me or not', as she went into the bathroom, presumably to get changed. Sebastian walked to where she'd hurled the pen like device and gave it a brief look over before she came back out.

"Sorry I wasn't paying attention, I just kinda freaked when you mentioned my sonic..." Her words were apparently cut off by what he was doing. He'd managed to get the small device working again.

"Sorry. I just thought you might want this back. Just because something you love seems gone, it never really is. Sometimes it just takes a little patience and a little effort." He bestowed the device back to Natalie with a noble gesticulation.

Wait... those last two names... those were... "You've dated girls before?" Stratana tried to hide her disbelief. As much as she wanted to call Lexi out, because what Lexi was was exactly what Stratana had openly mocked her whole life. She didn't know what to do. Lexi had saved her life earlier! She was so occupied in thought, not a usual train for her to ride, she hardly took notice as she painted her bare thigh Oceania Blue where a tear in her jeans ha revealed the flesh below.

Lexi looked up. "Yeah. A girl. Caused a lot of problems for me." She noticed Stratana painting her leg. "Honey, this isn't body paint. It's nail polish." She used her shirt to wipe Stratana's leg. "There we go. Anyway, you seem a bit freaked out, is there a problem with me being a lesbian?" She asked innocently. She was used to it, but what could she do?

Natalie stopped short. He had gotten it working again! She couldn't believe it! He was already a really nice guy in her eyes but this... This just ensured it! She ran over to Sebastian and have him a tight hug. "Oh my gosh! Thank you so much Sebastian!" She exclaimed in her child-like, innocent voice. No one had ever been this nice to her before.
It was all so new to her, but she didnt care. He was a friend (for now), and that was all that mattered to her.

 

"There we go. Anyway, you seem a bit freaked out, is there a problem with me being a lesbian?"

[/url]
"Ummmm..." The extended ellipse spoke more than words could. "I'm okay with it. I've had loads of homo friends!" She lied, even using a slur unwittingly, until she realized her folly. "Oh! I'm sorry. Uh, they call themselves homos, so I'm used to that." She hoped her lies weren't transparent. In fact, this was the first time Stratana had ever started worrying about lying to begin with. A strange stirring was occurring inside her as an image of Lexi and her kissing flashed into her eyes, causing her to audibly meep.

[/url]
Sebastian fell back with the hug, but quickly recovered his balance. He slowly patted the happy Natalie on the back with an awkward mix of pride and confusion. "Umm... it was no problem. It seemed to mean a lot to you, so I had to give it a try." He continued to pat as she gave a sudden jump and wound up patting her squarely in the posterior. His face flushed right with embarrassment an he retracted his hand entirely from anywhere near her back. "Okay... I'm really sorry... I did not mean to do that."

"Right..." She was lying. It was incredibly obvious. Lexi screwed the top onto the nail polish and handed it back to Stratana. "Anyway, I'm gonna change and see what the deal is with my baggage. I wonder if anything survived. God knows my guitar is gone..." Lexi took her bag and one of the nearby bathrobes into the bathroom and sat there. What was Stratana's deal? If she didn't like her, she should just say and not lie about it! She sighed and opened her bag. Inside, she found that one outfit wasnt completely wet. She smiled. It was a pretty cool outfit, and it was one of her favorites. She decided to wear it tomorrow.

For now, she just stripped and wore the pink bathrobe. Ugh! Too much damn pink! She would be glad to get out of here soon. She layed out her remaining clothes (because most of what she had brought for the entire summer was ruined/lost at the bottom of the sea) and decided to let it dry overnight. Lexi would likely be back home in a day or two, so it didn't matter to her too much.

Natalie gave a squeak and blushed when Sebastian hit her rump. She released him and backed up giggling. "It's fine, don't worry! That's my fault for jumping!" Still a bit giggly, the fourteen year-old climbed into bed, playing with her toy. It was her most important thing, besides her bass, which was probably being played by an underwater animal by now. The thought of this saddened her. She had that bass for about 3 years. Least she was okay.

Natalie shook her head again, shaking off her hydrophobia. She didnt want to seem more weak and frail than she already did.

 

'Lexi really does look cute in pink...' Bah! What was she thinking? She totally was not going to start checking out her roommate out of sheer curiousity! Soooo not happening. So why were her eyes drawn to Lexi's rear curvature when the blue haired, robe adorned creature bent over ever so slightly to lay out her clothes? She instantly looked away as soon as she took it in. "So, uh, Lexi, do you usually do, like, Lesbian stuff?" It was the dumbest and most blatantly insulting question imaginable for the moment, but she didn't mean for it to be; she just wanted to know more.

Sebastian was about to say something when a loud roar interrupted his train of thought. It was deep, long and drawn out, much like a booming snore. In fact, it was a snore; one Sebastian had adapted to sleep through as he had to share a cabin with Sean Fugue one summer. It rattled and shook a vase on an endtable close to a cookie-topped end table. "Well... this might not be very pleasant..." He tried to sleep in his own bed, but it rattled as the sound of Sean's snore rattled the walls. There was no way he'd be able to sleep up against that particular wall. Getting up out of bed, he placed his hands on his hips as he faced his predicament. Maybe there was a chair... or the floor?

Sebastian stretched out on the hardwood floor that smell of almond-covered chocolate. Hardwood floor, however, was not the most comfortable of surfaces, so he struggled to find a comfortable place as he twisted and turned, right in the view of Natalie.

 

​

He really wished he could stay behind, he really wished he could offer up his spot on the boat to somebody more deserving, but his body just refused to do so. He hated it with a passion, he hated that his dead-weight body was aboard the vessel and taken to safety. He hated watching the others die, he hated that he could not do a single thing to help them at all. His body was dazed, and though he tried his best to save others people still drowned and once again he failed to save a life.

He continued to sit there a bit dazed, watching the sky as the boat moved on along its trek to land. His body had some burns but they were nothing compared to the feelings of his lungs. Every single time he took a breath it merely hurt so badly and he just endured it without a word. He refused to make a scene, he refused to show even more weakness. They were in a tragedy and Julius did not wish to make the moment any more worse. As the adult he wished to be the adult...and not be the burden.

Once out of the boat they soon moved out into a car and though Julius had this very nagging feeling in his mind telling him something was wrong he decided to let it be for now and try his best as they rode in the car. The car drive was a long one but eventually they reached their destination and Julius immediately stepped out of the car. Though still dazed, Julius at least heard the instructions about the clinic and calmly headed over there. Unintentionally, Julius opened the doors to the clinic with a big back and stared over at the nurse "um..yeah I think I'm having....a heart attack...no...wait nothing.... severe like that...ah! right...I'm having trouble breathing" Julius said looking down at his chest as he noticed his hand was holding his chest. "Goddamn...it when... did my hand get there?" Julius said finally noticing that he had been holding his chest the whole time before he closed his eye "goddamn it" Julius said before he collapsed on a nearby chair.

Julius' time in the clinic was not too long and once he got out he was feeling a bit better. Fatigue was great with him and once he got a good nights rest he would be able to check out the area much more easily. Julius merely scratched the back of his head as he walked out of the clinic and groaned as he glanced around the strange area. First a fire and now a sunken ship...Julius learned that now was the time that he had to take extra care and be sure to be on guard all the time.

"Lesbian stuff? What the hell do you mean by that!?" Lexi frowned. Stratana was being REALLY ignorant. What was she playing at? Was she making fun of Lexi? Was she just genuinely stupid? "Look, are you being stupid or just genuinely not sure what to call it? If you don't like me, you don't have to. I saved your life because I didn't want anyone to die, not because I wanted you to live." Lexi was furious. She was quiet about it, but furious nonetheless. Why was Stratana being so stupid!?

Natalie giggled. "You can get into bed with me if you want, Sebastian. I don't mind!" She really didnt. It wasnt even because she was attracted to him, it was just an offer so he didnt sleep on the floor.

 

Stratana Aria ♪
"I'm sorry." Stratana whimpered a heartfelt apology, which is a hard involuntary action for one lacking a heart in the first place. "I felt like I've been close to you before, or someone like you, and I lost it... I can't explain it." She paused and wrenched her wrists in each hand. "Listen... I'm sorry for what I said before. I don't know how to put it. You seem like a nice person, and I'll be honest, for once in my life, I usually squash nice beneath my toes and enjoy the creamy feel under my feet. But right now... you called me "Sexy" when no one else would look at me and I know you didn't save my life on purpose, or something like that, I dunno how to put it. You saved everyone by being really smart and brave... and I could never do that. I don't usually talk like this." She bowed her head, tears flooding down her face. "I always play head games! And after nearly dying twice, I don't WANT TO ANYMORE!" Her voice lost all consistency and became a screeching typhoon of pain. Her words were lost in sobs at that point as she continued. "I don't want to be a monster anymore. I'm sorry... that I hurt you." Her voice had decrescendoed to near oblivion as her level became piantissimo and tortured.

'I am done with my Graceless Heart, tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart.'

"I'm not so great at word stuff, okay?" She thrashed her pillow with one combined fist before she launched her face into its silky cover and pneumatic plushness.

"Ummm... Okay... if you're offering and don't mind." Sebastian slowly rose to feet, unsure if to take up Natalie's offer or not. In the end, his desire for comfort won out. He laid beside her, not too close, but close enough to feel the warmth radiating off of her. "I don't know about you, but I think this is a good idea to stick close. I haven't told anyone else, but this place's gooey atmosphere makes me feel like I'll turn around at any moment and find myself in a mirror, covered in black sharpie tally marks."

​

Stratana seemed sincere enough when she said this. She had even begun to cry! So unless she was a REALLY great actress, no one could cry that way while lying. Lexi took both of Stratana's hands in her own. "Listen; don't cry, okay? If you're serious about wanting to change, I can help you. I've done stuff that I'm not proud of either, but I don't let it get to me, I just change it.

"I've been too clingy in past relationships, and it led to me killing someone that I used to love. I don't ever want that to happen again." She smiled, "And about me being so smart and brave... I am really not. I just reacted and did what I could. I'm a REALLY shy person, and the only reason I can open up with you this way is because I like you, a lot. I don't know in which way, but I do know that I want to be your friend." Lexi pulled Stratana's face out of the pillow and smiled at her once more.

Natalie giggled at his reference. "You need to stop with the references, they make you sound crazy, and you really aren't." She smiled. "Either way, you're right. There IS something amiss ion this town. Part of me wants to leave, but the rest of me just wants to figure it out, you know? Like, why was there a fire, then a sinking ferry? Is there something at work here that DOESN'T want us home?"

Aislin was finally called in, it took her a little while to follow because the bakery smell finally hit her. Huh, did they eat freshly baked cookies as they worked or something? Aislin sighed and entered the doctor's office marked "1" she was then motioned to take a seat and did so.​

"Hello miss Mullaney. Welcome to Bentley Grove."​

​

Clearly, all of the kids who had just walked in were being thrown into the group of people in the accident. ​

"So what seems to be your problem?"​

​

"Um, I- think my arm may be broken..."​

​

The doctor examined it for a bit, the two really didn't walk at all. She was looking away when the doctor said, "Oh, it is definitely broken, you will need to see a hospital for further treatment, but I can get you into a temporary cast and stitch up this little issue."​

​

Aislin was about to ask what the issue was when the doctor told her to hold still. She never turned her head as she felt a huge pain in her arm and felt something go into her arm. The doctor then grabbed stitching equipment and she turned her head to see the doctor stitching up a rip in her elbow. Wait... did he just... push my bone back into my body?! Is that even... safe? Does that prevent infections or something? My father is a doctor and I have never heard of this as proper treatment!​

​

The doctor then put her arm into a temporary cast and and wrote out something for a low dosage painkiller. She couldn't remember what he had said because she was so focused on the event that had just taken place. She grabbed the note from the doctor and forced out a "thank you" then went over and picked up the painkiller at the pharmacy. ​

​

As she left the pharmacy she took one of the painkillers immediately then left. She went across the street to the Inn and stood in front of the woman at the front desk, "Um, are you Cane? Patrick sent me and a bunch of other kids here and-" before Aislin finished Cane held out a roomkey, an almost sarcastically forced smile. Aislin wanted to ask if she did something wrong but instead took the key and spoke, "Th-thank you."​

​

Aislin read the roomkey wrong and went to insert the key and noticed it was already unlocked, then as she stepped in she realized there was a figure in there and whispered, "Oh sorry, I read the number um... wrong."​

 

(*) Inn (*) Mood: Shocked (*) Music (*) Outfit (*) OOC: (*) ​

​

"Oh sorry, I read the number um... wrong."​

Even though it was a whisper, it was enough to wake him from his nap since he was feeling like getting up again. When he opened his eyes he expected to see some guy who'd walk into his room. Instead he saw a girl, fortunately it was one that he knew, but it was still a shock to see her. "Um, I-it's f-fine." ​

​

Well, this could've been worse.​

​

Like that wasn't obvious enough. He was just glad that he was napping when she'd walked in. "S-so, A-aislin. "W-what was y-your room number?" Alex figured that he might as well talk to her instead of just sitting in this awkward moment. Though the voice didn't say anything, he had a gut feeling that it agreed with his decision. Maybe he could get better with talking with girls. It seemed likely if he became friends with one that it would happen.​
