WHO: Steve Harrington and you!
WHAT: Steve's a terrible patient, swing by and witness.
WHEN: September 5, 2023
WHERE: Eglaf Memorial Hospital, RM 302

Pain wasn't exactly anything new to Steve, but he had forgotten how hotly it burned as he'd tried to stem the bleeding of his wound until the EMTs had arrived. His partner, James Martin, a recruit that had been in his class, looked like he was going to pass out at the sight of the blood that had stained most of Steve's uniform. Steve tried to keep him calm and focused, asked him to notify Caleb, Sally and Robin of what had happened by handing him his phone. Martin had nodded and taken the phone with shaky hands, promising he'd do as Steve had asked before the ambulance doors were shut and he was forcibly pressed down into the cot and administered an oxygen mask.

He tried to be patient and compliant as the doctor poked and prodded at his injury to determine if the bullet was still present or had made an exit. They told him it was still there and they needed to get it out. He was administered pain killers that ebbed the pain out of existence. As many times as he'd gotten his ass beat, the last time he'd had surgery was to have his tonsils taken out in seventh grade. He was nervous and anxious and wished he'd gotten to see Caleb, Sally and Robin one more time in case things went sideways.

When he awoke, to the sound of a steady heart monitor, his shoulder wrapped uncomfortably tight but at a steady pulse of pain instead of an all consuming burn, he noted that the sun was high in the sky. It had barely been sunrise when he'd gotten out of the ambulance, so it must have been several hours since then. He immediately felt the urge to close his eyes again and sleep for a little longer, but he could only imagine how those closest to him had taken the news and the need to tell them he was okay was much stronger. He turns his head slowly to take in the room, everything about his body feels so heavy, but eventually, he sees the nodding form sitting on the other side of the bed.

"Hey," he says, his voice failing him and coming out as a whisper. He clears his throat, trying to clear the thickness there. He sighs and tries again. "Hi."

I have been through and seen a lot of shit in my time, but this is the biggest screw up that I've ever seen. I don't know who's in charge around here, but somethin' tells me it's not the paper pusher that I managed to knock out with a stapler.

I want to talk to the person in charge. I want my freaking body back! Look what you've done to me. [ He shivers in disgust.] I'm uglier than Peter! What am I supposed to do with these giant hands and stupid legs? What's with this nose, I can't smell anything!

I've been experimented on, had parts and bones replaced with metal and I have never, never been in as much pain as I am when I look in the freaking mirror. I need to talk to those in charge. Now.

I won't ask twice.

O-M-G! What did you do to her? Is she dead?!

[Enid looks off to the side, clearly seeing a her, but said she isn't necessarily visible right away. Enid can clearly see the dead-ish-looking blonde girl crumpled there and it causes horror to write itself across the petite features of the blonde werewolf's face. The second that she spots movement she snaps!]

Stay away - I don't want to take your... tech! I know it's not candy but same principle - I learned stranger danger! You're not killing me too, creep!

[Enid yelps as she stands there - freshly come through the portal into the holding room and looks around the room in panic. The natural response is to bring her hands up, claws clicking as they elongate and she holds them up in her own defense.]

Stay away from me! This puppy has claws and I will scratch you!

[The bright, tinny voice of the werewolf is not exactly that threatening - it's clear she's scared even through the video.]

You can't just kidnap me because I'm an outcast! I know my rights, I didn't do anything wrong... so please send me back home!

[Enid looks up at the men in the room, pastel colored hair a bit of a mess and rainbow claws still splayed.]

Please?

[Her voice shakes and there's a shine to her eyes, even with the stand off.]

WHO: Laura & Eddie
WHAT: It's time to see if baby make's three, if the planning and attempt to make dreams come true worked.
WHEN: Backdated to December - just prior to Christmastime.
WHERE: Eddie's apartment.

( Does baby make 3? )

WHO: Darcy & Stanley
WHAT: Whoops...
WHEN: Backdated to Valentine's Day
WHERE: Their shared apartment.

( Sometimes, Darcy's late because she's had a stressful week at work or, back in Kansas because some supernatural or demonic thing or another is wreaking more havoc. It hasn't happened in Eglaf. …until now. )

( When the feed comes up, Rikki isn't looking at the camera just yet. Instead, she's focused more on what she's currently doing, which is to say, keeping what appears to be a little glass figurine, but is actually, in fact, a levitating blob of water in the shape of a mermaid up in the air with the gentle movement of one hand, while using the other to subtly morph the shape of its tail just so. )

I don't suppose any of you happen to have any experience with e-commerce, have you?

( It's suddenly clear that the figure wasn't glass at all before when it suddenly solidifies and drops into Rikki's open hand just before she looks, finally, over at the camera. )

I'm not registering for some stupid stipend when I'm not going to stay here, so I might as well make my own money, and this little business thrived in Jeopardy, so why not here, as well? Only, I've never been very good at the whole technology thing. It would take entirely too many years to build up my reputation doing what I actually do back home to make any decent living doing that, so I've got to try something else. And yeah, I know I could do an Etsy shop or something, but they take a cut, and no thank you. I can pay you. Erm...not right away, but, on the first sale, you'll get a cut until I've paid off the debt, yeah? Any takers?

( Her eyebrows lift hopefully. Peter Parker had offered to help her back in Jeopardy, but this one doesn't know her and she doesn't know him, so she's not going to assume he'd be willing or even interested. For all she knows, he doesn't even know how to build a website like her one had done. Best to just ask around. Someone is bound to point her in a direction, after all. )

fuckthisshit

[ Alyssa is sitting on a bench at the DoDS. Kenneth hands her a tissue and she takes it and dabs at her eyes, sniffling, before giving him a soft- ] Thanks. Now fuck off, this is personal.

[ She watches him walk away and then looks back at the camera. She's been crying, but she squares her shoulders and takes a deep breath, lifting her chin a little.]

Hey, Robin. I've decided to go back home even though it's shit and literally the only person I care about there is dead. I don't know if they're going to lock me away or not. James took all the blame, but that doesn't mean we didn't do loads of other shit.

I guess I've kind of been hiding out here, not really wanting to live in that world, but not wanting to live in this one either. The memory sharing was really fucked up. Reminded me that it's real. That guy, he hurt other girls and would've hurt me if James hadn't... [ She tenses and up and shakes her head.]

I'm tired of reliving that moment. I need it to be over, whatever comes next. I need to move on.

And I can't do that here. [ She shrugs and grimaces. ]

Listen, I hate mushy shit. And I hate goodbyes even more. But you were, like, a really good friend. And fuck everyone else, you're good the way you are. Flaming lesbian and everything. [ She grins. ] Don't let Tim give you any shit. I left my name tag in the cash register. Hold onto it in case I decide to come back.

See you. Maybe. [ She sighs and smiles once more before cutting off the feed.]

[Joan begins the video - and she's in her new office. It's still bank, devoid of any sort of sentimentality or personalization, but she is moving to take a seat at her new desk as she gives a very small wave toward the camera.]

Hello, my name is Dr. Joan Bright - I'm a recent arrival here in Eglaf.

[Now that she's seated Joan settles, her posture ramrod straight and her demeanor clinical per usual, hair pulled back and she's the epitome of professional.]

I'm a therapist - I specialize in helping individuals with extraordinary abilities to feel comfortable controlling and living with those abilities. I understand that the portals here impose abilities, or have in the past, on certain individuals. The Office of Displaced Supers has given me an office to practice from and the ability to become a resource available to this community should anybody be interested or feel like they need any assistance - whether it be related to abilities or traditional therapy.

[Practicing again sounds far better than being the Director of The AM for the moment. Joan has no idea if people will be interested in therapy here, but she's ready to jump in with any that are.]

Please, if anybody needs anything, feel free to reach out.

[Joan manages a small smile before she reaches to end of the video feed. This return to the comfort of what was once her normalcy is exactly what she feels like she needs after.... Owen. It's clinical, yes, but there are people in need here and perhaps along the way she will make friends, but the most important reason that she's calm and comfortable being here is she just needs a break.]

mayparker

[ May is sitting in her cramped office at the food bank, looking a little stressed but also excited. Her glasses are pushed up to the top of her head and she grins at the camera.]

Hey, Robin. I wanted to catch you the next time you came in to help out, but it's been a little nuts here. So I'm sorry for not getting to do this face to face, but I guess this is what technology is for, right?

So the good news is that we managed to raise enough money during the Halloween fundraiser to expand the food bank and remodel our pantry. We also have just enough to fund a new part-time position that would help with recruiting, scheduling and organizing our volunteers. I immediately thought of you because of everything you've done with us since showing up here. I know you already have a job and I don't know how the pay compares, but I do know that I love working with you and I had to ask you first if you'd be interested before posting it.

What do you think? I mean, take some time to think it over. I have a week before I need to post it. [ She sighs, leaning towards the camera. ] But please say, yes! Kidding. Not kidding. Okay, get back to me.

Bye. [ She waves and clicks off.]

( When the feed comes up, Darcy is on the couch cradling a sleeping Olivia in one arm, with a sleeping Conner draped over her lap and an especially alert Clark peering into the camera over her shoulder in search of his new idol. It's not a coincidence that he's positioned himself on the back of the couch just so his Iron Maiden t-shirt is fully visible. )

All right, you four. Christmas lists. Not negotiable. If you want something other than an Amazon gift card and a card drawn by a couple of five-year-olds with dull crayons and/or washable markers, you have a week to send me a list of at least ten things from which I can choose. No list, just gift cards and I think all of us would prefer it if you actually had gifts to open. So...

( As if rehearsed — because it was — Clark pipes up suddenly, almost falling off the back of the couch with his excitement for his turn to talk. )

She not kidding, either, one time she gave Uncle Kon and Aunt Allana lumps of coal because they dinnint give her their lists!

(Darcy gives a knowing look back at the video screen and lifts an eyebrow. )

And I don't want to hear Darcy, no, you don't have to do that wah wah wah stuff. Lists. Mandatory by next Sunday evening. Capiche?
