Peiquok Town Hall

[TheWeirdOne]

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Kaci went over to the white haired girl. She didn't like to see people in pain. She took off her backpack and Looked through it to see if she could find any painkillers for her. As she was looking for something to help the white haired girl she said to her with a concerned voice, "Hey, you seem worst off then your saying. Don't worry about accepting help from me. It's why I'm becoming a doctor. Is there anything else wrong then just a headache?"

(( I have a feeling I will be doing research to be this character... XD ))

"I'm not really sure," Morgan answers, closing her eyes and brining one hand up to rub her temple. "It felt so vivid for a minute but. . ." She looks back at Rosie and smiles weakly, "It's fading. Kinda like a dream after you wake up in the morning, you know?"

She looks down at the styrofoam cup in her hand, half-full of cooling tea, "It's probably nothing. I don't want to bug you with me being crazy, sorry." She takes a drink and sighs, "I probably should have just stayed home but I wasn't going to let the reservations go to waste. And I really did want to see the trails out there in the forest. It's supposed to be good riding; do you ever bike around out here?"

Melissa takes a step back as the medic approaches Jen, looking at the girl with concern as she goes on about her tattoo. It was obvious that nothing short of a strong sedative would calm her down. Finally, she sighs and shakes her head, moving away from the strange girl.

Running her hands again over her forearms, Melissa steps towards where the solders are herding in a new group of people. She looks them over, but instead steps towards the soldiers. Picking out one that appeared to be more senior to the others, Melissa asks, "Excuse me, we've been here a while now. Is there any new information about what's going on here?"

Shiva weakly shook her head at Kaci, "I am versed in the medical field as well, and I assure you, I'm fine..." she whispered at the (Black?) haired girl. All of this attention was making Shiva feel flustered, and overwhelmed. She could handle a screaming patient, but these two women around her suddenly rushing to her aid was not a kindness she was used to.

Shiva lowered her head, feeling as if her head was lighter than air, "I just... Need some rest..." she whispered.

In her mind, she complained, "Being held here in this building, I feel as if I'm in a waiting line to the slaughter house. What could have possibly possessed me to want to travel to this horrific place, were people disappear?"

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Kaci sighed at the the white haired girl. She stopped looking through her bag and put it by her side. Some people were very stubborn about accepting help and she knew this very well but she never liked it. Instead of trying to push her she just sat next to the white haired girl. Moving her backpack next to her she said to her in a rather determined voice, "Fine, you don't want help, but I'm gonna sit here just in case something happens."

(Black haired, Icelus' version Raven haired... I'm guessing the list gooooesss onnnn.)

"Aghpfft!" After the puppy gets a good lick across her face Cat quickly holds him at arms length with both hands. The puppy keeps on smiling with his tail wagging, exhilerated at all the attention he's getting. "Sure is determined. . . hm, I think my mother told me that she wanted to call me Alan if I would've been a boy. Means little rock. Alternatively you're gonna be called Moxie", she adds with a giggle. Her smile fades away quickly though as she lowers her eyes and murmurs something that sounds like "La Faserhf Cyl". A resolute headshake later though she's back to normal. "Where the hell did that come from?"

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Shiva lowered her head as she sat along the wall, embarrassed by this raven haired girl's determination to help her. She sat in silence next to Kaci, not wanting to argue with her to try and prove that she was okay. She pulled her legs up, wrapped her arms around them, and rested her head on her knees, resting quietly against the wall.

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Jen
Examining the mark, the woman furrows her brow and replies, "honey, that looks like a tattoo. Are you sure it hasn't been here the entire time?" She looks worried. "Look, I've got a sedative if you'd like to lay down. Lizard men aren't going to get you, you're safe in here."

Kaci, Shiva
Cally Shaffer looks across Shiva to Kaci and nods, then settles in beside the white-haired woman. Putting her hands together, they can both hear her begin her prayers:

"Dear loving Father in Heaven," says she, her voice but a whisper, "I pray you to keep my daughters safe, and to watch over your children as you have always done in this, our time of need. In your infinite wisdom, oh Father, I pray you rest easy and allow us to do the same."

She continues on, unless either of the two interrupt her.

Morgan
Rosie's grin grows a little wider. "Are you kidding me? I pretty much live out there. Get away from the cottage-district and it's just about perfect. I'd rather be there right now..." She thinks about that for a few minutes, then leans forward, resting her elbows on her knees. "Hey, Morgan, if you get that feeling again, let me know, okay?" She sounds a little worried, though she isn't letting on why.

Melissa
Looking between themselves, the most senior of the small knot of military officers shakes his head. "Sorry, ma'am, we're still bringing in stragglers. Once we're sure we've got the town cleared, we'll be able to escort you and the rest of the people gathered here to a safer point."

He adds, "I understand your concern, and I would like to be able to tell you more, but until we have a solid idea of what's happened here, we aren't at leisure to divulge information yet."

Cat
"La what?" Griffin asks. "Moxie works better. The other one sounds French."

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

"No, I was just. . ." Cat shakes her head. "It just came to my mind. Must've read it somewhere", she tries to explain the strange feeling. She pulls the puppy back against her chest and makes motorboat sounds on his side. "Moxie it is then. Are you glad you have a name?" He is apparently, as he licks along the side of her face. Cat grunts and sits Moxie back down onto the ground.

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Morgan tilts her head quizzically, "Sure. I mean, if it happens again, I will." She looks around the room, "I'm glad that people seem to have calmed down a little. When we were all rushed in here this morning, I thought there was going to be be problems." She laughs a little, "I guess that's just a big city girl's idea of what small town people are like, though. Everybody local seems to be handling this pretty well, actually..."

She pauses, thinking about that and watching Cat playing with the puppy. "Have there been disappearances around here before? Or a quarantine. I guess... I don't know, I was thinking there might be more panic." She looks down into her empty cup, wondering why she wasn't panicing more.

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Shiva politely let the woman continue her prayer. If someone could find peace of mind via any method available, Shiva was not about to rob them of what she didn't have. The only thing comforting her now was the heavy rain against the windows, the white noise washing over her senses, and driving her into a hypnotic trance. For once in this whole situation, she found herself no longer thinking about what doom might await them, and became solely focused on the heavy rain...

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

I s-see my wr-wrists all the time, beca-ca-cause I read a l-lot. That w-w-wasn't there last n-night. Jen pushes out, her fearful sobs returning as the timid girl becomes overwhelmed by the situation. I-if I fall to sl-sl-sleep then the l-l-l... monsters while get m-me. She continues afraid of what will happen if she takes the sedative.

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Buster surveys the room, looking across the people, noticing the different reactions to this 'situation.' So many different people, so many to meet, almost too many. Trying to decide how to greet everyone, he contemplates raising his voice for the room, but doesn't have anything to say. No that would just seem desperate for attention. Still he'd liked to introduce himself to everyone. Might as well get friendly, judging from the military involvement, they'd probably be there for a while.

He makes his way near a corner of the room and starts in on biting his nails, staring intensely across the room, surveying all the people while trying not to overhear their conversations. That would just be rude. In the meantime, he'll just watch, desperate for a moment to jump in on someone's conversation.

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Cara, flipping Griffen the bird and feeling just a little defensive, rose from her seat. She snagged her guitar and swung the strap of the case over her shoulder, surveying the room and noticing that military men were ushering in another small gaggle of people.

Along with them she noted the blonde guy chewing his nails and looking like his eyes were just about bulging from his head as he scanned the room back. Wandering his way, she wondered aloud, "hey, you alright?" She sipped leisurely from her coffee, noting how the rain had picked up outside. She wondered what was going on out there, still feeling uneasy that the military was doing anything useful.

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Busters eyes, at first focused on everyone, darted to the movement made by a girl getting up from her seat and walking towards his direction. No longer having to search across everyone, he closed his eyes and gave his head a quick small shake, away from his fingers, as if coming out of a daydream, then returning his eyes back up at the girl with a smile on his face.

"Me? Oh I'm fine. Just.. uhh.. just new to this place I guess you could say. Oh and how are you?" He started to reach his hand out for a shake, then noticing the coffee in hers, casually and nervously moved it upward and starting scratching the back of his head instead. Nice save jackass, you didn't even introduce yourself, will you calm the hell down. There's plenty of time to talk to meet everyone

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Cara was beginning to think that maybe everyone around here was twitchy as fuck. "How do you think I am; I got dragged in here by those soldiers and dumped with a bunch of townies, it's pouring and storming outside around god knows what, and this coffee tastes a little like ass."

Still, she grinned sardonically at the situation they'd all gotten themselves into. "I'm Cara, by the way. What's your name?"

 

[ToxicShock]

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Buster chuckled a bit at her reaction, not in a patronizing way but genuinely entertained. His attention came back and he flashed his large smile. "Heh, I never liked coffee.. too much caffeine. The name's Buster, and don't worry.." he leans in a bit, having a semi-serious face for once, covering his mouth and looking around as if he was enthusiastically telling a secret "..I'm not a townie either." With that, he pulled his head back, gave a reassuring wink and returned to his smile. "And I wouldn't worry about the soldiers, I feel safer with them about. Now if government people in suits start showing up, then I'll start pissing." Buster laughs off a small genuine fear of the unknown situation.

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Cat
Griffen ignores Cara's insult for now, casting her an unimpressed look before returning his attention to Cat. Let her go pester someone else... then again, everyone around here seems to be acting a little strange, and not just panicked-by-the-military-strange, either...

"Kind of like the rat-girl's howling noises?" he asks, quirking a brow.

Morgan
Leaning back in her chair, Rosie shakes her head. "Well, out in the woods it's pretty lonely on regular days, though I like it that way," she admits. "Around this time of year there's usually a tonne of soldiers on leave dicking around town for the food and summer girls, but never a quarantine... at least, not so much as I know. Maybe before my time. My grampa used to be on the town council, and he's told me a lot about Peiquok... but I don't remember any quarantines."

Jen
The medic listens to Jen, very concerned. "Hey now, shh. Calm down. You want to go into one of the smaller rooms, now? Don't worry, we'll watch for any mean monsters," she tries to comfort.

((I'll get to Shiva in a bit, Raptor, I'm just trying to think of a way to get her engaged. Toxic and Wallpaper seem to be doing pretty well so I'll let the be for now.))

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

Jen nods, moving over to the medic and clutching at her. You pr-promise not t-to let them g-g-g... take me? She asks through tear filled eyes.

Re: Peiquok Town Hall

"I guess I'm one of the 'summer girls'," Morgan smiles, "But if the soldiers were looking for a date, I'd think they could do better than locking us all up in here." Her eyes flit over to the military personnel escorting Jen out of the room and her smile vanishes, replaced by a worried expression. "I wonder what's happening with her."

She looks around and spots Melissa talking to a group of the soldiers. "She was talking with that girl who got taken out," she points her out to Rosie. "Maybe she knows something more about what's going on. I'm going to go ask her." She walks across the room.
