Zero Hour // Action

[follow_the_dead]

Yuu!!!

[A woman runs from an previously unseen door into the hallway. She stops short, and looks around quite obviously confused.]

This part of the Manor is different...where am I?




Yuu?

Yuu!!

[She takes a few hesitant steps. Kurosawa Rei has no idea where she is, but any doctor around might notice there's a patient wandering aimlessly around. She has PTSD, delusional to the point of seeing 'ghosts' everywhere, thinks she is constantly asleep, and might or might not claim to be covered in tattoos that symbolize her being 'cursed'.]

[Dr.Yujinn turns the corner to see the new patient.]

Rei, why are you out of your room? [His voice stays friendly and not accusatory at all.]

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

[ Rei turns suddenly. HELLO THERE RANDOM SIR. D: ]

How...do you know my name?

[holyandsexy.livejournal.com]

I'm your doctor, remember? Do you know where you are?

[He's using the overly calm voice of reason.]

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

[Rei is completely weirded out by voice of reason, but too Japanese to act on it.]

I'm...I'm sorry. I think you're a bit mistaken. [She tries to smile.] I don't have a doctor.

[holyandsexy.livejournal.com]

Of course you do. This is a hospital. Let me take you back to your room and we can talk about it.

[He offers a hand]

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

This has to be a mistake. I'm sorry, but...

I know this is hard to believe, but I was just in this place called the Manor of Sleep. It's...somewhere you only travel to in your dreams. [She trails off, realizing how silly that sounds.]

[holyandsexy.livejournal.com]

[He smiles kindly.]

No, this place has always been a hospital. Perhaps you were dreaming?

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

Perhaps...would you know the way out of here then?

[holyandsexy.livejournal.com]

You can take you medication and become well.

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

N-no, I've been well for months now. And this place can't possibly real.

[holyandsexy.livejournal.com]

I know it's hard, but this place is real, and we'll help you get better.

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

There's no place for me here, though. We've never even met.

[holyandsexy.livejournal.com]

We met when you were admitted her, remember? I'm Dr.Yujinn Zialda.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

[Okay, someone yelling your name can be a little alarming in this kind of setting. Yuu finds Rei pretty easily.]

Um...hello.

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

[She seems just slightly started by this.]

Oh! Are you trapped in the Manor as well?

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

...You could put it that way.

[He comes a little closer.]

Who are you looking for?

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

[Sir. Sir. Personal Space. You could be a ghost. So she seems wary.]

Ah....A man named Yuu Asou.

Or, I mean I was following him. You would understand, I suppose.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

Oh. My name is Aikawa Yuu.

[He's not sure about understanding anything, but he doesn't say so.]

What's your name?

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

[She can't help but sigh at that overwhelming disappointment.]

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have introduced myself first. I am Rei. Kurosawa Rei.

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you...even under the circumstances.

I guess you came at kind of a weird time, though.

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

Yes, but, what do you mean came at a weird time? Is this not the Manor of Sleep?

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

...No. You left there.

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

Then, this place is...?

[last-liar.livejournal.com]

Right now, it's a hospital. Usually, it's a mansion.

[follow-the-dead.livejournal.com]

That's a bit strange. I think I'll be looking for a way out then, so if you'll excuse me.
