Infirmary [open]

[savedbyasong]

Characters: Shion and everyone who wants to help him
Setting: Infirmary
Format: Whatever you like best
Summary: After seeing Tara and how hurt she was, and seeing as there is no working infirmary Shion tries to do something to help
Warnings: Just general horror stuff

Shion was trying to keep busy, he was training with Reno and Xion, helping gathering food and generally trying to keep going. He wore the pin Reno had given him on his shirt collar; he really was just beginning to grasp all that it stood for and probably wouldn't for a long time. But he understood family and though Reno and Xion would never replace his mum, Nezumi, Safu, those he had lost... They could be another family, one here. People to care for, who cared for him in return.

So he was recovering, slowly, a step at a time and today would be another step. After helping Tara he had realised that without workers those who were injured would not get any care. The infirmary was as dark as everywhere else and that meant there would probably be monsters there at times...

Shion didn't know much about medicine, but he knew enough to clean and bandage wounds, even to deal with broken bones though he had never done that for real. Reno's spare EMR in hand Shion entered the infirmary. He should probably start with one room, if he could get one of the examination rooms organised it would be a start. He began moving things about, dust had began to gather and so all the sides needed washing, so he started with that.

"To his world yes, he's not from the same place as me. But he was here and then he went back for a few days and then returned, it happens sometimes."

[cutestprogrammer]

"And his world... really was destroyed...?"

[savedbyasong]

"Yes... he said everything was gone..." Shion didn't like even thinking about it. The idea everyone might be dead...

[cutestprogrammer]

"I see..." That really is very depressing news...

[savedbyasong]

Shion just nodded, feeling bad that he had made her sad, but there was nothing he could say to make her feel better. It was the truth.

[cutestprogrammer]

"Then... we really are stuck here?"

[savedbyasong]

"Well... there must be something outside this tower... we must be somewhere." Perhaps there were other safe places that didn't seek to harm them.

[cutestprogrammer]

"But no one has ever managed to get outside, have they?"

[savedbyasong]

"No... but that doesn't mean there's nothing out there." Unfortunately those that kept them prisoner had more power than all of them put together it seemed.

[cutestprogrammer]

"I suppose so... What do you think it's like outside?"

[savedbyasong]

"I'm not sure... it looks barren but looking at the life in this tower, the forests, the meadow. That all has to come from somewhere and even if they brought it from another world it must mean they have the ability to create conditions here to ensure survival.

The biodiversity in the forest on the island alone suggests that this planet has a great potential for life, even if it might be a little different than the worlds we come from..." He blushed slightly realising he had been rambling.

[cutestprogrammer]

Chihiro doesn't mind the rambling and thinks about all that for a moment before adding.

"I see... but perhaps... the forests and meadow have been move in here because the conditions outside the tower are no longer suitable for their survival?"

[savedbyasong]

"But one of the forests is on the island, that's outside. Surely it would have to be inside if the conditions outside were not suitable..." Shion thought about it again.

[cutestprogrammer]

"Is it really outside...? It could be a simulated environment..." Says the computer programmer inside him.

[savedbyasong]

Shion had thought of that and nodded, "It could be, which would explain why the surroundings change constantly. But I can't even imagine the level of technology required..." And it opened the very terrifying question of, is this place wasn't real where were their bodies for real?

[cutestprogrammer]

"That's true..." He sighed in defeat. "This place reminds me so much of the situation at home at times..."

[savedbyasong]

"The situation at home?" Shion didn't want to pry, but he was interested in different worlds, it would be awful if her old world was as bad as this one.

[cutestprogrammer]

Chihiro nodded. "We... were trapped in a... bad place. All my classmates and I."

[savedbyasong]

"A bad place? What kind of bad place?" Shion blinked at her concerned.

[cutestprogrammer]

"We... we were trapped in this school... where... we... have to kill each other..."

[savedbyasong]

"Kill each other?" Shion paled, remembering the labyrinth, the order to kill everyone else. Shion hadn't killed anyone, he had died after only one night but a whole school like that...

"That's awful..."

[cutestprogrammer]

"Yes, we can't leave unless we do... but at least we're free from that here now! Some of my classmates are here too."

[savedbyasong]

"Yes... I hope you don't have to hurt your friends here." He really did, he hoped they just weren't chosen, and weren't forced to hurt each other, because no one should have to hurt their friends.

[cutestprogrammer]

"I haven't had to so far. we've been safe from those experiments so far."

[savedbyasong]

"I am glad." Shion was, no one should be forced to hurt others.
