DAY 347 : Haunted Hotel Mingle

[You have a lot of baggage for your stay. Not the kind you stuff free robes and toiletries into. No, the kind of baggage that helps drive the sort of scenarios you experience. Your fears and your hang ups. Or maybe not everything is about you after all and you have a perfectly random, horrific time. Either way, the adventure starts now. Ring the bell for service.]

[ as one of the leaders of an actual rebellion, leia's all for fighting back when there's a fighting chance -- but why fight and risk injury to yourself if this will all be over come morning? maybe others would see it as giving up, but leia doesn't. it's being smart and knowing when to rattle the bars of your cage. now wasn't one of those times. it was like knowingly putting your hand on a hot coil after you already burned yourself on it. ]

I'll be the judge of that. [ best not to argue with her, reid. she's far from being up to par with medical science as phanan or that misogynistic karev fellow she ran into earlier, but she's had enough field training to know what to look for. both her hands hold his, one at his wrist while the fingers of the other skim across his skin and apply pressure to knuckles and joints. ] Does that hurt?

[ She can probably feel how fast his pulse is, rushing with adrenaline. At least it's steady, strong. Just shaken, not seriously hurt. ]

No. [ He swallows. It doesn't hurt. It'd feel safer if it did. ] It's kind of, uhm. Numb.

[ Nothing spreading that he can tell but it's easy to imagine things, ignore things. Pretend that it's better than it is while on the inside wondering what'll happen if this really is some neurotoxin, inching its way to his respiratory system beat by frantic beat. ]

[ numb isn't good, and it sends her mind racing down a similar path—

but then something beckons her, calling like a faint, barely audible frequency through the white haze of dead channels. her hands grip his, and she tugs him in a direction she walks blindly in. she can't see, she isn't bothering to throw her hands out and feel her way along the walls, but she knows that eventually they'll reach whatever it is.

which happens to be a room with an illumination system that's dim and in need of repair, metal walls that are tarnished, and repulsor furniture that no longer hovers. they rest on the ground like a sad echo of what came before, reminding her of the dull furniture that occupies the apartment she's claimed in the dome. this room, however, looks much more like something she's used to.

leia doesn't know whether she appreciates or resents the familiarity. her hand tightens around reid's, and not just because she can hear the cacophony of unpleasant sounds in the distance from beyond the door she made sure slid closed behind them. ]

I think we ought to wait this out.

[ As much as he hates the darkness and as scared as he is of what's in it he can't bring himself to mind this as much as he usually would. He trusts her to find a way out of here and he trusts her to make sure he doesn't die or something here tonight. Feeling her tug him through the corridors fills him with a strange sense of security. It'll be fine and even if it isn't, they'll be not fine together.

That said, the excitement of the room is lost on him, drowned in the distant noises and the prospect of waiting it out for the night. This is better than being alone but it's not good. ]

I think you're right. [ He swallows in an attempt to keep his cool. ] It's just for tonight... we're only going to get hurt if we keep wandering the corridors.

Would you like me to try again?

[ she moves to face him, hands lifting into the air in offering. but as the adrenaline bleeds out of her and the battle instincts fade, she can see exactly why luke doesn't do this often and only does so in small quantities: it's pretty draining. probably even more so with whatever this dome is doing to her connection with the force. ]

[ He hesitates because wow would it be nice to get another shot of Force-Valium but just like she can do things, he has abilities that allow him to see just how exhausted she is already. He shakes his head - no. It probably wouldn't work for long anyway. ]

Thank you, but I'll be fine. [ A reassuring smile, or as close to one as he can get. ] You should get some rest. We'll be stuck here for a while.

Rest? [ her hands drop and she shakes her head. ] The last thing I need is rest.

[ the first thing she needs is rest, but she's too stubborn and far too agitated by the ambiance drenching her in a thick, unpleasant fog to sit still long enough to get any.

so she goes to one of the dead repulsor chairs instead. off comes part of the paneling on the arm with a POP. her hand's small enough to slip inside and curl her fingers around the wiring, pulling it out enough that she can kneel in the seat and peer at it. ]

This is all wrong. No wonder this doesn't work.

	[ Okay. He's not going to argue that, mostly because he knows that if the situation was reversed he wouldn't hear it. Instead he follows her along, keeping a respectful distance so as to not crowd her when she works on the chair. ] Careful... I don't trust anything to be what it looks like around here.

	I know what I'm doing. This isn't half as bad as-- [ whatever it's half as bad as gets cut off by a very undignified yelp as a spark from one of the wires licks at her fingers. she retracts her hand, cursing colorfully in a smattering of words never meant to leave the mouth of someone of her upbringing, nevermind reach her ears. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-12-11 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	[ Should've seen that coming really but he's not about to tell her any told you so's. Way too worried for that. ] Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apparently phonetagging on lunch was a bad idea. forceful 2015-12-12 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Yes. [ those wires licked her fingers like a whip, so viciously that there's blood when she finally holds her hand out to inspect them. ] ...no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-12-13 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	[ Well shit. ] Here - let me see. [ And even if she won't let him he's reaching for her hand now, heart beating frantically. It's one thing that he hurt himself, but her? To the point of drawing blood? Yeah, he might be easily triggered. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forceful 2015-12-14 02:06 am UTC (link)
	[ it's his alarm, more than anything else, that has her surrendering her lacerated, bleeding fingers to him. ] It doesn't hurt much. [ much. somewhere, han solo is making a big show of rolling his eyes. ] The wires jumped. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-12-15 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	Told you to be careful... [ Frowning, he holds her hand up high, above heart level while rummaging in his pocket for something to stem the blood flow with. Luckily he finds a clean handkerchief that can at least make a decent temporary bandage. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forceful 2015-12-15 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry. I thought I could get it to work. [ for someone who usually makes a downright terrible patient, leia's being awfully complacent. she watches in silence, allowing him to do whatever he needs to stop the bleeding. ] You've done this before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-12-16 09:13 am UTC (link)
	[ He gives her a half-smile, somewhat sheepish. ] Believe it or not, but I do a lot of field work. You kind of have to pick up some basic first aid skills. At least it isn't a gunshot wound. [ Or two slit wrists. He'd really rather not go through that trauma again. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No blaster shots fired this time.

[ but she'd been shot plenty of times. leia was quick and had -- well, now what she knew to be jedi reflexes -- but she wasn't infallible. ]

It's fine. [ she's a terrible patient, but at least she isn't trying to yank her hand back. ] I've been through worse. It's just a little blood, really. [ that's... more than a little blood, leia. ]

	thisiscalm 2015-12-19 11:55 am UTC (link)
	Considering the situation we're in, I'd rather be safe than sorry... think you can let me have this one? [ He gives her a pleading look. This isn't the first time he's tried to coax someone into doing something they're not too keen on doing. That's the thing about being a profiler - what you can read, you can also manipulate. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forceful 2015-12-19 03:05 pm UTC (link)
	[ leia might have the force on her side, but reid has the advantage here. both in being a highly skilled profiler and knowing more about her than he's letting on. the combination of both his words and that pleading look has her nodding, slowly, in solemn agreement. ] Okay. What do you suggest we do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-12-21 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	[ He frowns a little, focusing on wrapping up the makeshift bandage as neatly as he can. ] For now... stay put, reassess the situation. We seem to be safer here than out there, for the time being. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forceful 2015-12-21 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	[ so, her original plan. before she had the brilliant idea to rewire a repulsor chair. ] As long as I refrain from trying to repair anything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-12-22 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	That would probably be for the best. [ He gives her a weak little smile. ] Not... not that I don't think you know how, but things here are weird. It can't be trusted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forceful 2015-12-22 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	You're right. [ her uninjured hand reaches for the console port she pulled open, pushing the small door back down. it clicks back into place. ] Fixing it is probably exactly what this place wanted me to do. [ leia reaches out to touch her fingers to the back of his palm. ] How's your hand? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-12-26 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	It's a trap. [ He half-mumbles, more for his own amusement than to add anything to the conversation. Turning his hand over, he flexes his fingers for a moment before taking hers. ] Not bleeding. [ Which isn't saying much. ] We'll be fine. I'm sure of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forceful 2015-12-26 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I have to be the one who goes and bleeds. [ rueful. leia shakes her head in dismay with herself. she usually has it together better than this -- and did, prior to this brilliant idea of hers. ] How much longer do you figure we have in here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
