Viveca slings the guns over her shoulder and heads up the stairs hot on Frank's heels - she's easily as worried about Morris as Frank and it lends her more than enough speed to keep up, even encumbered.

Morris Strub · Deceiver

Morris is sitting on the floor holding his head like he has a killer head ache, "Sorry I guess I fell asleep. I thought I woke up and you guys where gone. It was a weird dream."

He looks up at the two of them, "Everything was frozen like in big slaps of ice and I could only get into some places, I though I saw someone running around so I followed thinking it might be you guys." He chuckle "I guess it doesn't matter it was just a bad dream I can't imagine having any other kind in this place."

Then Morris starts to stand up his face twists in a look of agony and he puts his hand to his side when he holds it out his fingers are stained with Crimson, his mouth drops opening in a gasping manner and he looks at the two of them. "It WAS a dream." He says as if trying to convince himself of that.

"Holy crow..." Frank dropped the axe and shrugged out of his fireman coat, pulling a firstaid kit from the gym bag he'd had since escaping from the bus into this. some escape. "Let me have a look - Viveca, can you look around and make sure there's nothing here that did that while i check him out, please?" He's already using some of that gel disinfectant on his hands - it'll sting a wound but its fast and it works.

Unless morris swats frank off him, Frank's going to examine that wound and see if he can tape or stitch it up.

Viveca Moody · Enforcer

Viveca's eyes widen in shock at Morris's bloody side but she's not totally frozen. Frank's order makes her bristle, but she sees the sense of it almost instantly. He's the medic, she's the one with the armory hanging down her back.

Turning on the lights she checks the room - starting under the bed, using the flashlight she'd found in Shane Moody's bedside table to illuminate the area. Then she'd check closet and window as well. As she searches she talks.

"It was a dream, it had to be. I had a dream like that before - it's the one I woke up screaming from. It ended.. badly. If it were real..." She shivers, remembering the feel of cold water closing over her head, filling her mouth and nose, the looming figure above the water.... No. It. was. a. dream.

Morris Strub · Deceiver

"Viv..." Morris says the words leaving his mouth he's concerned as she looks distressed and he himself is still a little in shock. He doesn't do anything to get in Frank's way the wound is shallow it's just bleeding plenty.

Frank Notices that the wound is smooth and thin, it's a cut, a very deliberate cut, no tearing just slicing. Frank should be able to seal it easily.

Vivi's search comes up with nothing, nothing in the closet nothing under the bed, her brother's room is void of anything more harmful then a pair of scissors.

"It didn't hurt when I woke up!" Morris says wincing.

Frank Blackarrow · Surgeon

"Wish i had some superglue. 101 uses." Frank cleans it puzzledly. "Its not deep. it is deliberate. Its not in a good place for you to have done it yourself." Talking outloud - mostly to clear his own head while he cuts tape carefully and closes the wound. "Don't have any drugs - so i can't give you a local, sorry. Back to the painkillers we lifted from the hospital."

Frank shook his head. "We're kind of screwed - there weren't any *real* emergency kits for me to grab at the hospital - everything was kind of ... wrong. things that should be in places just aren't. and you're the first person we've seen in ...several blocks that should have been full of people." He glances at Viveca. "If you know somewhere i could get a full emergency kit, i'd appreciate it. So far, no one's been badly hurt but ... if one of us *is*, i'd like to be better prepared."

Viveca Moody · Enforcer

When she's done checking the room Viveca studies the wound in concern over Frank's shoulder, careful not to crowd him. She frowns thoughtfully, eyes lingering on Morris but she smiles at him when she sees him looking at her, making it as cheerful and confident a smirk as she can manage. She might be scared and getting more frightened by the minute, but she'll be damned if she won't do her best to keep his spirits up. Even if she is damned.

Laying a hand on Frank's shoulder lightly, Viveca says softly, "Which hospital were you at? There's a couple in town. Maybe the other will have a more complete kit? I can look around for superglue, Cindi might have some laying about. I make no guarantees though."

"We where at the Clinic," Morris says and looks at Vivi he can't help but smile back at her when she smiles at him but he winces a little due to Frank working on him. "Think I'll live Doctor?" He says trying to push the nightmare down so he can function.

"Alchemilla Hospital is right by Green Pharmacy, and on the way to Higgin's Hardware." Morris says and closes his eyes. This was a real nightmare, he was getting ground down fast or had it been fast? How long had he been fighting on his own he couldn't recall.

Frank Blackarrow · Surgeon

"Yeah, but you'll never do Riverdance again. Or have kittens or play the accordian." Frank grinned. "Its not really serious - sort of like the papercut of injuries - its gonna hurt a lot but its not really a danger to you except that you are probalby going to have a nifty scar you can tell people you got in a knife fight with some apache dude in the orphanage. always blame the apache dude - everyone believes we did it, y'know?" Faintly wry grin. "Usually because we did."

Viveca Moody · Enforcer

"Aww, but having kittens is what Morris is best at," Viveca jokes, giving Morris a smirk before sobering again.

"So, I take it you're wide awake again now?" God knows she didn't want to go to sleep again anytime soon after her nightmare of earlier. Morris might be made of sterner stuff, though. Might be.

"If you are, maybe we should get going." Maybe it was this foggy world that was the problem, or maybe it was just this location in it, but she didn't trust sleeping in this slightly twisted version of her childhood home. It fell just far enough of the mark that it was uncannily disturbing.

"Yeah I am all for moving and not staying in one place." Morris smirks a little bit at Frank. "Yeah you cut me up just to practice sewing me up again."

Frank can can patch up Morris with the superglue, Is there anything else people want to do before leaving? Or should I start up a new thread?

Viveca Moody · Enforcer

Frank Blackarrow · Surgeon

((heh, he donest' have superglue! unless she gave him some...
