the madness event (3/?) (action)

Dec 06, 2010 20:55

[ Suffice it to say that Daniel's not having a fun event. It's difficult to enjoy yourself when you've woken up tied into a straitjacket, alone in a padded room, with a locked door and security camera and goodness knows what. It doesn't help that he has a somewhat unique reaction to being terrified. Hallucinatory cockroaches everywhere ( Read more... )

event: u mad, actually quite an appropriate event

[ Oh there he goes again. Dr. Phil was on his way anyway, but the screams tell him that the time for a leisurely pace is over.

He hurries towards Daniel's room and opens the small sliding window in the door. ]

I'm here, Daniel. I'm here.

You know how it works, step away from the door and I can come inside.

[ OH THANK GOD IT'S PHIL. And he's acting pretty weird, but at this point Daniel's not got much faith in what his eyes and ears tell him is happening. After all, there are cockroaches (he can't help but try to kick them off) clawing up his leg, and that's never been real, has it? ]

Philip, open the door, please! Please, open the door, let me out!

[ Fingers crossed he isn't talking to thin air entirely. That just doesn't bear thinking about. ]

Three steps away from the door, Daniel.

[ Philip used to feel sorry for his patient when he went into a state like that. He still does, but there is a very thick layer of weariness covering it up now. The need to follow procedure has been drilled into his head time and time again and the door will not open by his hands before that. ]

[ Something beside the obvious is very wrong here. If that really is what Phil's saying, then Daniel doesn't know what to think of it - but if it isn't then why is the door not open? Can he not unlock it? Daniel has his shoulder pressed against it, mostly to be sure, partly to balance, and it's definitely closed.

The panic in his expression is growing. ]

Philip, in God's name, please!

[Clonk. Clonk. Clonk.

Clonk. Clonk.

Clonk.

BAM!

It's been such a wonderful journey for Elle so far, but it was a long day, so forgive her when she doesn't stop to chat (or otherwise acknowledge Daniel's existence) as she breaks through the ventilation shaft on one side of the room and rips off a patch of padding on the other side as she works on disappearing again. ]

[ hey bro how's it going ] blimeyjamwalls December 10 2010, 05:08:52 UTC

[ Daniel looks up. Much more slowly than a man would were he not drugged and unhappily preoccupied, but still.

Oh. Oh wow. Oh wow, that probably shouldn't be happening.

She's not a cockroach or a weird servant, so his first thought isn't 'hallucination'. Give him a moment. For now he'll draw himself up slightly - he's sitting on the bed, hunched over - and say in a voice not quite lively enough: ]

What in God's name...?

[ cool, cool. ] defiant_eye December 10 2010, 05:21:29 UTC

[ Oh, look. A people. ]

Morning.

[ Enough small talk, back to work! Off you go, little grid~ ]

[ hey that's swell. ] blimeyjamwalls December 11 2010, 14:10:06 UTC

[ Daniel inclines his head from force of habit, then watches her listlessly. He's not even sure if she's there or not, honestly, but nothing's happened in the cell for hours on end. He tells himself that at least nothing is better than hallucinations. He's not sure he believes it. ]

May I ask where you are going?
