You remember you hadn't been home in days. In the wake of the pandemic Mother of Mercy Medical Center where you worked had been pushed to the absolute breaking point a situation made worse by the fact that other larger hospitals which serviced the city were being given priority when it came to resupplies with necessary drugs. With the already narrow mountain roads damn near impassible due to all the abandoned cars you had instead found yourself in the role as an extra nurse of sorts. Legally you weren't supposed to be doing it, but the hospital was more than willing to bend the rules given the severity of what was going on.
"Somebody give me a hand here!"
At the sound of the voice you rush to help the doctor. Before you an older man on a gurney is in the midst of a violent convulsion and you do your best to hold him down while the doctor tries his the best to work on him. After 5 difficult nerve racking minutes you finally manage to get him half way stable even so you can still he's not out of the woods. In fact if its anything like the 6 other patients suffering from what the media has dubbed "the wave" then he has a few hours left at most.
Roll: 57 +10 open to the supernatural = 67
You exit the room your head throbbing all the while. It must be the hours of nonstop work without a break taking its toll on you.
"James?"
You stop in your tracks at the sound of the voice. You turn to look at the source and after a few confused moments the fog clears from your mind and recognition of the figure before you at last comes.
"Maddie...? Hey girl how you holding up?" You smile good naturally at the brunette before you, running your hand through your own sweat matted dark locks as you do so.
"I should be asking that of you! How are you even still standing? I don't think I've seen you in the break room or the cafeteria all day. You must be hungry."
She hands you a candy bar which you eye hungrily. You hesitate for a moment before the growl of your stomach finally gets the better of you and you tear into it.
"So where you headed off to?" you ask after swallowing the last bite of the sweet treat.
"Doc Bowers said that he needed someone to backup the folks checking on the non-wave patients. Make sure nobody died on us while we've all been dealing with this insanity."
"I'll go..." you begin to say only to get cut off.
"Your not going anywhere except to the break room. You look like your going to pass out."
Without another word Mattie practically drags you...no correction...she DOES drag you to the break room. All the while you feel your head pounding, pounding, pounding!
It's:
Really starting to piss you off! You feel your whole body shaking with energy []
Messing with your vision. You swear things are starting to have a glow about them []
Making you zone out. You keep finding your mind wander as random images pop into your head []
Making you hear stuff. You keep swearing you hear someone calling your name far off. []
Nothing though compared to what others are going through. You have to get back out there! []
QM: the roll was to see if you awoke anything. Now its up to you to choose how it manifests. Pick one option above and choose carefully! Oh and don't worry the zombies are coming next update.
