[Before the pain hits, in that brief insensible moment after waking, she feels a stab of pride. She did it. She got him. She didn't win, but she fought back against the implacable, impossible, eternal enemy. She silenced him - if only for a moment, she silenced him.]

[It's after that that the pain hits, her head aching impossibly. She wants to die, laughs silently when she recognizes the irony. It feels as though she's cracking in half from her skull down.]

[But even the pain can't distract her from panic for long. While she was dead, it must have gotten worse. It creeps back up her throat before she knows it's there to push back down, her heart beating a hard tattoo in her chest as she sees-- hears-- smells red blood on her hands and the fur of the beast.]

[There is a man in the corner of the room. He breathes in and out. She can hear him speaking, one word only: "See." She can see his chest moving. She can smell blood on his teeth like he's breathing in her face.]

[She sits on her cot, staring at nothing, shivering helplessly, her throat as dry as the deadest desert.]


video

[It's later that the knives sprout. Thirty-two little monster teeth, each with a metal serrated edge, each curved just slightly, making their way into her mouth after pushing her old teeth bloody onto the pure white sheet.]

[They don't distract her as much as they should, though they cut her tongue up something wicked. She has questions - but she can't speak.]

[So in video she turns on a smile, her knife-teeth fitting together like perfect dentures, and holds up a small whiteboard.]

[It says, WHO ELSE CAN SEE HIM?]

[Tiffany's sitting at a nearby table, sorting supplies-- without supervision from an actual doctor, she doesn't yet know how to do much more than that. Every once in a while she glances over at the people in the beds, checking to see if any of them are awake and needing anything-- and that's when she notices Abigail staring.

She looks at the corner, then at Abigail, then back at the corner.]


... What're you looking at over there?

[Iris has tentacles, which, judging by the way she's using them to hold her drink and her cigarette, she's rather enjoying.]

Ouch. Striking, but it doesn't look much fun. I can't see 'im - Abigail, there's been some possession-type things going 'round, seeing men that aren't there might be related.

Over there in the corner?

[She looks again.]

Nope, no one there.

[... Uh. Tiffany looks around for a doctor, and when she doesn't see one, she gets up and goes over to Abigail's bed.]

Are you on any drugs right now?
tucky: (no names were changed)

[personal profile] tucky 2015-03-23 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
What about stuff you got here? Did you get any medications when you came in?

[Tiffany grabs a pad of paper and a pen, and starts scribbling. Time to play doctor!]

Pashent is presenting with halusinations and is not on recreashinal drugs.
routemistress: (doubtful)

[personal profile] routemistress 2015-03-23 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Iris nods.]

I can see 'ow that'd be someone your mind might pick to manifest. I'm just wondering if it might be a sign of this thing that's going round, you know?

I didn't see anyone, mind. With me it were emotions running wild - like, it picked emotions I already 'ad and drove 'em out of all proportion. Doesn't seem like what you've got going on.

I'm taking notes for your chart.

[Do patients even have charts here? She has no idea.]

For the doctors. Do you got a history of mental illness?
routemistress: (devil)

[personal profile] routemistress 2015-03-23 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye, and you're generally well on top of 'em; that's why I'm concerned.

'Ow well d'you get on with Dean?

[Tiffany nods.]

Okay.

Pashent does'nt know if she has a history of mental illness.

How long you been having these hallucinations?

[personal profile] tucky 2015-03-23 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You think it's part of the toll?

Aye, Dean in this timeline did rather lose 'is people skills, didn't 'e?

Only 'e did sort me out. Dillon probably could, though. That's if it is summat extramural, as it were. It doesn't sound like quite what I 'ad.

[personal profile] tucky 2015-03-23 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. Uh...

[She frowns down at her paper.]

I think I should be asking you about your mental health, but I don't know a lot of those questions.

Maybe I should just take a full patient history. State and spell your name, please.
tucky: (what would Liberace do?)

[personal profile] tucky 2015-03-23 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
... No.
