[Jimmy is heading towards the hospital, limping more heavily than usual, face pale and drawn, as though he's seen a ghost. And given what's been going on lately, he certainly has. He's taken out his phone to post a short message, and he sounds out of breath.]

If anyone knows... what the hell's going on, what the fuck is... just... I wanna know. I wanna know how this is possible.

[Another few ragged breaths, and the hospital is in view.]

I'm... going to the hospital. I think I'm sick. I dunno.

[Pushing open the door to the hospital, he immediately looks around, calling out.]

I need a doctor!

[[OOC: Feel free to run into Jimmy in the hospital or on the way, or over the network. He isn't actually sick, he just has no idea how to deal with the emotions that this curse is stirring up.]]

Comments

[trenchknives]

Yeah, I just saw some... shit.

[onset]

What are you going to do now?

[trenchknives]

I'm in the hospital right now.

[He thinks if he explains why, it'll make him sound like a wimp, so he doesn't.]

Where're you?

[onset]

Oh, I'm - in one of the apartment buildings. Around the carousel?

[trenchknives]

Don't go outside alone. Those things... they're dangerous.

[onset]

They didn't attack you, did they?

[trenchknives]

They sure as hell tried.

[onset]

[There's a soft hiss.]

I'm glad they didn't succeed, then. The hospital's safe, right?

[trenchknives]

Safe as far as I can tell, yeah. They're doin' a good job of protectin' it.

[onset]

[with the shiver of a soft, contradictory laugh,] Good to know there's a place we can run to, if all else fails.

[trenchknives]

I dunno if it'll be safe forever, but yeah, for now at least.

[onset]

All right. [...] Is there anything I can do? For you.

[trenchknives]

Keep outta trouble. Don't get bitten. 'n if ya see one of the damn things, kill it.

[onset]

I think I'm good at staying out of trouble. And not getting bitten.

[Killing things isn't really on that list.]

[trenchknives]

Okay. But if you need any help, lemme know, okay?

[He's good at the killing part, mostly.]

[onset]

--Yes, of course. Needless to say the same goes for you.

[trenchknives]

Yeah, I'll let ya know. For now, though, the doctors're pretty helpful around here. 'n I don't like doctors much.

[onset]

I can relate. Good luck with everything - [a beat -] Jimmy, wasn't it?

[trenchknives]

Right, Jimmy. 'n you're... Peter, yeah?

[onset]

Yes, that's right.

[trenchknives]

Okay, I'll see ya around.
