[For every warning Raymond Leon has received about the City's curses, he's responded thus far with little more than indifference. The mistletoe incident was no indifferent matter, sure enough, but despite that, Raymond was determined to maintain the same attitude he'd had before: there was no point in worrying about the worst of these curses until they actually occurred

[ Sleep is a precious commodity if you're a doctor, and it's one Leonard McCoy likes to get as often as possible. It's harder in the City with the ticking of the clock at every moment, the fact that he has no roommates and no pets making it even louder, but he's been getting used to it. That's why, when there's suddenly another man in his bed who happens to be handcuffed to him, the first thing that wakes him up isn't the presence there. It's the fact that there's less sound.
Neither the handcuffs nor Raymond register at first as he blinks awake, but then the fact that there's someone else in his bed hits him and he jerks up. The handcuffs make themselves known then, digging into his wrist slightly, and he swears. ]
[He wasn't disturbed by the cuffs or the diminished ticking, but Bones's swear is all it takes for Raymond to jolt fully awake.
His immediate response is to reach for his gun, which he does, until the resistance of the cuff and the other arm attached to it bring the effort to a jarring stop.]
What- [Still too bewildered by the situation overall to do much in the way of critical thinking, he jerks his wrist again, as if somehow that will cause the cuffs to give way.]
[Mr. Pink is in the hospital, nervously looking more caffeinated than usual. He's gotten information from a nurse where to find Bones, and he's waiting near one of the nurse's stations. He is in desperate need of smoke.]
