[ action | open ]
[Several of the hospital rooms were now occupied by some very tired people. One of them was Tieria. Basically out cold, he lay utterly still in the bed the bots had left him in. The situation was eerily familiar to those who had seen the effects of the sleeping epidemic and how he had been affected then.]

{OOC: Okay, so this is for anyone who wants to come looking for Tieria. You can bump into each and whatnot. Most likely, he won't wake up... unless it's like really really late in the evening... like probably past midnight. For those who were here and remember, this'll work similar to the post Ribbons had up after his first collapse from using QBWs in where people can chat and spy and hover and worry and argue and whatever else all in one spot to prevent comm spam. ^_^;}

[ Neil frowned. He can't explain Tieria's behavior, or even think the other man could, himself. It makes him feel helpless to admit it, but he has few options of dealing with this right now. ]

[ And even though this may not be the perfect timing, Tieria has to know what's happening. ] Look... the reason I asked if you could hear, and such, is because Acumen reported some... side effects of your efforts last night.

[ Neil sighed, holding up a hand. ] I can't feel things. Literally. My skin is permanently numb, without the tingling that makes me think my limbs felt asleep. Lyle is the same. Some can't talk or hear, and others can't speak. [ He frowned. Hearing about these consequences can't be easy, but, he needed to be warned. ]

Last night...

[Damn it... he couldn't figure out what was last night, two weeks ago, or three years ago. He held his head.]

I don't... [He grit his teeth.] I don't know... [Even so, the seriousness of the situation didn't go unnoticed. He reached over and grabbed the hand Neil was holding up, starting to look worried now.]

I did this...?

[ Despite the fact that the side effect, for him, was fairly benign, he did feel a pang of anger about it earlier. That has had a chance to subside, as he notices Tieria's guilt. ]

Not just you, but... yes. [ At least Neil wasn't going to want Tieria's head for this. Other inmates might not share his calm appraisal of the situation. ]

[It was obvious Tieria was trying specifically to remember that one event now, but saying it happened last night wasn't helping him get to the right memory. Frustrated at himself beyond belief, he slowly shifted and sat up, struggling a little to stay upright.]

I don't know what happened...

[No. That wasn't right. He did know, and he knew he remembered it, too. He just couldn't sort it in his head, but how do you describe that to someone?]

[ And there comes the hand to his shoulder, again. ] Oy, I said to take it easy. You're not going to do yourself any good if you don't. It's not like you need to be anywhere. [ Pot to kettle? You bet. Especially if one considers when Neil, himself, was refusing treatment.

Things weren't the same here, though; there was no fight to jump back into. ]

I need to figure it out. Everything's all out of order... [He rubbed his forehead, wincing]

[ Blink. ] What do you mean "out of order"?

Nothing makes sense. It's not that I don't know or don't remember, I just... I can't 'find' it.

That's why I wasn't sure... if you were really you or something else. I knew it was possible that you were real, but there are other things... [He shook his head. He just couldn't get more out than that.]

[ "Something else"? Tieria was right about one thing: nothing made sense.

A weak chuckle. ]
You must have had one hell of a dream while you were out. Or maybe several.

It's okay to be a little scrambled, in your case. Don't worry about it for my sake. Just... take your time, okay?

[That didn't calm him down. If anything, Tieria looked even more distressed. He shook his head.]

It wasn't a dream. [He knew he'd lost time, that he'd been unconscious. He hadn't been dreaming.] I was... [No... that just didn't want to surface right now.]

[ The lack of sensation in his hands was starting to bother him, so he pulled back and sat down in the chair. ] What makes you so sure? You said something about... "assimilating"? [ It's obvious Neil has no idea what to make of that. ]

I thought you were... [He stopped, then shook his head. It wasn't clear.] I know the term... I can't figure out where it came from.

It's alright. I'm sure it'll come to you soon. Just don't try too hard to force it, okay? [ He'll keep saying it until the more stubborn of the two picks up on it. No more hurting yourself. ]

Besides, I'm still me. [ Holding up that hand, and flexing the fingers. With a weak chuckle. ] Well, mostly.

[He watched that hand, and the weak chuckle did nothing to stall the guilt. Pulling his knees up, he folded his arms over them and put his head down.

It was there... everything was there. He knew it was. Why couldn't he think of it? His hands clenched tightly as he took a steadying breath to try calming down.]

[ ...maybe he should just stop trying to help. ] Do you want me to get the robots in? To look you over? [ Somehow, he thought he was just making things more confusing. ]

No. [Granted, he probably should, and he acknowledged that fact, but he really didn't want to deal with them right now. He felt horribly overwhelmed as it was.

Still, he hated that he might be worrying Neil.]


You don't have to stay.

Alright. [ He won't push the issue. Much. ]

I want to. I'm not letting anyone in to talk to you until you're in better shape, that's for sure. Lyle will be taking over for me in a little while, anyhow. [ So he shouldn't worry about the lack of rest. ]

[Tieria gave Neil a look that said he felt the other Meister had done enough for him already, but he knew better than to bother arguing about it now. He sighed.]

Very well.
