She throws herself up upon realization that she is in a completely different area.

"Where the hell am I?"

Rina is now wearing a patient medical gown, all her stuff is gone, and Glade is nowhere in sight.

"Is this a hospital?"

What should Rina do?

Find Glade and/or masturbate.

Stand on the circle on the floor.

hope it isnt a psych ward :(

inspect items on shelf first, the circle is too obvious; then place your cheek against the circle

examine items on shelf.

then locate some pants. those hospital gowns are notoriously breezy.

Nah, turn on the tv

What do you hear?

actually yes turn on the TV see if you can find a news station,

unless you've been in a coma for some time, they'll probably be running news stories on all the murders that just happended

A hospital? I can't tell if this is a good place or a bad place for us to fight Darkness.

First, inspect yourself and take note of all injuries, then see if you can find a 'call nurse' button. Puuuuuush button. Don't get out of bed yet.

If there's no call nurse button then this probably isn't a hospital. In that case I would suggest getting up and looking at the stuff on the shelf next to the door. Leave the weird circle on the floor alone for now.

> Find Glade and/or masturbate.

Rina isn't sure she should pleasure herself until she knows where exactly she is and how many people are around! Also you'll have to be more specific rather than just say to "find Glade." Who knows how big this building is?

> Stand on the circle on the floor.

Rina stands on the circle which seems to have been drawn with the marker on the floor next to it.

Nothing happens.

> place your cheek against the circle

Feels cool and clean. Hardly any dust at all on the floor.

> inspect items on shelf first

The shelf holds a large bottle of painkillers, a small medkit with just some gauze inside, and a scalpel.

> then locate some pants. those hospital gowns are notoriously breezy.

The gown actually feels very comfy!

> What do you hear?

Nothing. It's too quiet.

Rina's leg is bandaged up properly now and is feeling a lot better. There are also bandages all over her face and one on her neck. She can feel more of them pretty much all over her body.

There is a "Call" button on a small table next to the bed. Rina presses it and a soft beep sounds.

Rina cannot find any buttons anywhere on the television. She will probably need a remote control.

>>370909
Usually the remote for the TV is attached to the bed. So let's search the bed a bit.

yes search bed for remote

Check the door. Five bucks says it's locked.

Also, come to the realization that someone totally saw you naked when they put you in that gown.

In before new channel has reports of random hurricanes and a cow literally flies across the screen. Also there's chaos in the city.

Yayyyy a facility to escape. I mean, you should wait patiently for the nice caregivers to respond to the call button.

The circle kind of looks like a zero to me. Not sure what that would signify.

Look out the window.

Check your head. You have a large bandage on your forehead, and those shadow guys really like their head wounds.

>>370909
Looks more like the thing they put xray slides on.

Check the door to see if it's locked, but also check the vent in the ceiling if you can.

Rina looks everywhere on the bed but the remote is nowhere to be found.

Nope, it's definitely a television.

From what Rina can feel, there is no huge gash or anything on her head. These must be lacerations she got from the flying splinters and glass in the house. What became of that house anyway? And how did she end up here?

(Oh, and this isn't a window. Sorry that it isn't so clear! It's a small storage cabinet. It is also locked and Rina has a hard time seeing through the dark glass.)

Maybe open the door and take a quick peek, but don't go anywhere or the nurse will be mad.

wait a little bit to see if someone comes, then maybe peek outside the door to see if anyone's around

But before opening the door, what's that thing on the floor next to the circle?

I find it weird you weren't hooked up to an IV
Well, since your not, the worst that can happen is a nurse scolding you. So let's get up and investigate.

Did you happen to see a clock anywhere? Knowing the time could be useful.

Looks like a marker to me. I guess we can take it.

I agree we shouldn't go wandering around yet. Wait a few minutes at least before doing anything more than just looking out the door.

Hey, there's a small table next to the bed- does it have a drawer?

>>370984
You know, that looks like a shelf back there. Anything useful before we see what's out in the hallway?

> what's that thing on the floor next to the circle?

It's a black marker.

> Did you happen to see a clock anywhere? Knowing the time could be useful.

Nope, no clock around.

> Looks like a marker to me. I guess we can take it.

Rina takes the marker. It has a cap on the other end. She takes it off and reveals another tip that is colored a nice apricot.

> Hey, there's a small table next to the bed- does it have a drawer?

It doesn't have a drawer.

> You know, that looks like a shelf back there. Anything useful before we see what's out in the hallway?

Rina's already inspected the shelf! There's a bottle of pain pills, a small medkit with gauze and a scalpel.

> Maybe open the door and take a quick peek

Rina opens the door and finds a nurse on the other end, who was about to come in.

"Oh! Hello! Awake already? The doctor said you would be...but I didn't think so. Don't you think you should stay in bed?"

Ask if Glade is Ok and if you could see her, then you can relax in bed and eat some nice tasty food

>>371020
Tell her you feel well enough to walk around... except for a big headache. Ask her where you are, and where Glade is. And request some asprin.

Stab out her eyes with the near by scalpel.


WAIT, Better Idea! Ask her about location/time/condition/Glade/ And her policies on sexual healing.

>>371020
Say you just were in a forest cabin getting torn up from crazy wind trying to protect your friend a few minutes ago from your perspective, and now you're in a strange room in a city you don't recognize. You can't help but want to be up and figure out what's going on.
Or you had a really strange dream and awful nightmare of protecting a friend in a cabin getting blown to bits by crazy wind. Hard to tell, there were zombies in it and weird darkness possessing people like in a horror film, so you're going to vote nightmare. So ask her to please just tell you that you were found in a car crash or something and your memory is just really fuzzy, because you really can't handle the fact that all your friends just got murdered horror movie style.

You should be able to get all that off your chest without being considered crazy, because she'll think it was a nightmare. Trust me, admitting this stuff will give you some emotional relief, which is what you need since you suffered a lot of psyche damage. The worst you'll do to the nurse is maybe annoy her with the fact that a complete stranger is telling her about a dumb dream.

Ask how long you were unconscious. Nothing elaborate just yet. Also policies on sexual healing.

"I feel fine...I can walk around, but I have a pretty big headache. Could you tell me where Glade is? A she-wolf?"

"A she-wolf? Ah, yes. Was she your friend? I'm not sure where they've taken her. I do know she is under intensive care due to her injuries, but she should be fine, don't you worry," the nurse assures Rina. The vixen breathes a sigh of relief.

"Where am I?" Rina asks.

"You are in the Bell Shoals Hospital in the city of Locust Grove. You live here right?"

Locust Grove. Rina remembers that name, but has never been to the hospital.

"Yeah...I'm having a hard time remembering a lot of things."

"I understand. Why don't you lie down? I have some food here for you."

The smell of the food wafting in front of her reminds Rina that she has not had anything to eat in a long time. Her stomach moans as the feeling of hunger becomes familiar to her again.

"Could I have some aspirin too?" she asks. The nurse nods. "Of course. It'd be good to take one after you eat."

"Ma'am, I must had some horrible nightmare or I don't know, but I was attacked by this wind, me and my friend...and all of my other friends were on this geocaching trip and - and they were all killed by this shadow thing, and then-"

"Dear, calm down! I'm not sure what happened out there, but it is common to have nightmares on something horrific you've recently experienced. It's alright. You can tell the police about what happened when we can get you out of here."

"The police?"

"Yes, dear, they want to speak with you when you're all healed up and ready to depart."

they just want a statement, if they felt you were a danger you would of woke handcuffed to the bed.

This is a very good thing, no matter what their intentions are with respect to you. Whatever's going on, they're well equipped to help keep things under control. They have far more relevant training and experience than you.

When you talk to them, it's important that they take the problem seriously. Ask if they saw the bodies. If so, then there's little to be lost in being completely honest and open with them; the wounds were extreme enough that at worst they'll think you've got PTSD or something.

However, if they haven't seen the bodies, emphasize that someone or something brutally murdered most of your group. Don't say anything about spirits and so on. They probably found the raccoon in the house with you; you can tell them he came at you and you defended yourself (if you lie instead, it'll probably come back to bite you), but if you do this be certain to mention that the killer spoke to you on the phone, or they might assume that the raccoon was responsible and that there's no longer any danger.

>>371077
We should ask the nurse if she knows anything about the situation when you were accepted into the hospital. Tell her it was probably just a nightmare, but you DO remember your friend being badly injured. If the nurse doesn't know, ask for the doctor who was responsible for you.

If they say it was just something natural, we may be able to get insight into the workings of this "Darkness", as well as what its goals are.

"Could you tell me anything about the situation when I was accepted into the hospital?"

"Oh, well, I don't know all the details of that. I just know you're actually quite lucky to be alive let alone be awake so early! It's been at least a few hours since you came in."

"Could I speak to the doctor?"

"You'll speak to him eventually. Right now just relax and enjoy your meal, dear. I'll get your aspirin. I won't be gone for long." With that, the nurse leaves the room, closing the door behind her.

Rina sets the tray on her lap, surprised by how the food looks. As far as she knew hospitals didn't serve food this good.

On the plate there's rice, a salad, and what looks like nicely-cut pieces of beef. In the bowl is minestrone soup.

stir it around a bit.

No jell-o? This is an outrage!

Oh well, eat it anyway.

eat well you will need your strength for the hardships to come

>>371095
Aw nuts, we forgot to ask about a remote for the TV, and if that circle on the floor was there before.

Okay let's sum up:
1) We're not restrained and the medical kit has a weapon in it. They don't see us as an immediate threat.
2) The food is unusually good. This suggests that this hospital does not hold people that need easy-to-digest food, and also not a large quantity of people so that they need to mass-produce low quality meals. Possibly a government hospital?

Eat your food. If they wanted to drug you, they would've just used a needle while you were asleep.

Oh also I think the TV is used for communication- it's more of a monitor. That's why there's no remote.

>>371104
>Possibly a government hospital?

or an illusion, brought upon by crazy spooky stuff. maybe she's just dreaming up this hospital thing or it could be a mind trap that will go crazy soon.

Well this is awesome. It's been what feels like a couple hours and she still isn't back. Rina's headache is just getting worse.

She also needs to use the restroom.

might as well go look for a bathroom, or buzz again for the nurse so she can tell you where it is

>>371115
No changes to the room, no drugs in the food. I think this rules out government intervention...

Only a few hours? Damn, we might be pretty lucky! Then again, this headache might be that spirit-thing... somehow. Try to talk to it again (in your head, of course).

Aw fuck, something went down. Peek out the door. Consider grabbing the scalpel.

Something's fishy here.

1) That's not a hospital bed.
2) There's no vital-monitoring equipment.
3) The nurse didn't comment on the mark on the floor.
4) There's painkillers on the shelf, yet the nurse left to get some.

Anyway, peak out the door, hopefully there's a restroom nearby.

>>371128

1) Not all hospital beds have curtains. It's a hospital bed.
2) There's nothing vital to monitor.
3) The nurse never even blinked much less glanced downward.
4) They're something harder than aspirin for emergencies, like opiates or tranquilizers.

Anyway, restroom ho!

Oh holy shit
I can't believe I forgot to nitpick about this
Do you have health insurance? If they have good food this must be an expensive as fuck hospital.

Good food in a hospital? Wake up, Rina. You're dreaming.

>>371145

It's OK if they try to charge you for the hospital stay you can always kill them all.

I think finding some other patients, anywhere, would be reassuring ...

Do the painkillers look like aspirin?

Also, what's that thing on the wall directly above the shelf, near the ceiling? Fire alarm, general-purpose alarm, what?

>>371135
1) Curtains are beside the point. Hospital beds are frameworks that can be easily moved and adjusted, not bigass static mattresses like that.
2) The equipment is standard, even if it's not in use. No point moving it in and out of the room constantly, after all.
3) It should still have been in her field of view when she opened the door, unless she's got a serious case of tunnel vision.
4) Hard painkillers are required by law to have access restricted; they wouldn't be set out on the shelf like that.

Moving on: She said she wouldn't be gone for long. Hours counts as "long." Hit the call button. If she, or another nurse, doesn't show up within another minute or two after that, leave the room and go exploring; start by looking for a restroom, but then try to find a front desk or, better still, the police that wanted to speak with you. Also look for the front desk or anywhere else you can ask where Glade is.

>>371272
She may be in short-term, non-intensive care, so there is no need for a gurney. Likely this is a place where hospitals are the standard issue doctoring facility, rather than private practices.

Anyway, that mark on the floor bugs me. Inspect the area around it for loose tiles, or the ceiling above it for similar things. After a quick restroom break, of course.

Rina presses the Call button. She waits and waits but no one comes.

Damnit! Rina didn't think of this. Ah, she should be able to pay it off...with a little help from her parents at least.

It looks like it's some sort of intercom.

Rina looks all around the room for something out of the ordinary. She looks over every inch of the room but cannot find anything weird.

> Aw fuck, something went down. Peek out the door. Consider grabbing the scalpel.

Rina is suspicious that something happened as well. She goes over to the shelf and arms herself with the scalpel, just in case.

Rina exits her room. She enters a corridor. Nothing really odd seems to be going on here other than the fact that there's no one around. Which way should she go?

Now a scalpel makes a terrible weapon because while sharp it is neither heavy nor serrated. To fight effectively with it keep it fully clenched in your fist and swipe fast but very shallowly at your opponent, almost as if just to graze them with the blade. Aim for places where the flesh is tense, such as clenched biceps or under the throat. That will allow the scalpel to do the most possible damage at minimal risk of damaging or losing it.

Anyway, restrooms to your left. Have fun!

aww fuck it's the pills the nurse was bringing you. she was about to enter when she was snatched or something.

draw an X on the floor. youre not going to lose at tic-tac-toe .. then uhm, inspect the bottle and pills, carry one of the pills with you. go to the ?restroom ???

fourth floor, it looks like. also, inspect ceilings whenever you move some ten meters; dunno why we are looking for marks, but it cant hurt to be thinking in three dimensions to do so, right ?

Look down at the pills, sigh "Not this foreboding shit again. For god's sake stay consistent evil dark things, during the day is the breather level with weird events and suspicious people, the night is for hectic fighting. Get it right." look for bathroom or go downstairs.

Rina draws an "X" on the floor...for some reason. She inspects the pills on the floor and find that the bottle is the same brand of painkillers as the one in her room. She cannot take any because her inventory is full!

Rina is not sure just how powerful this stuff is and whether or not it would actually help her or make things worse. Her headache hasn't gotten much worse so she isn't desperate enough to just start downing pills.
