Skeletons in the Closet (Fearmonger Event RP)

Dr Hawk looked sympathetically at the man who identified himself as Jack Harkness, with a drug problem, then to the other two who had drinking problems.
"You poor gentlemen, bless your hearts.. We'll do everything we can to help you, you've certainly come to the right place." She pulled out some forms and offered them to him with a smile. "You just fill out this information and we'll find you a room." She smiled pleasantly as she waited for them to fill out the forms, then would look them over briefly before sliding them into a filing cabinet.

"Now, if you'll come along with me, I'll show you to your new rooms." She smiled as she led the way down a hall, not even bothering to ask about the young lady who had been with the one guy. Perhaps she hoped they wouldn't remember about her...

As she led the way down a hall toward the men's wing, she began to go over some of the rules of the facility; explaining that they woke up at 7am and attended various group therapy sessions and things like that.. breakfast, lunch and dinner were all provided, and all such things. She went on to say that they kept an excellent standard of discipline here, and that any sort of drugs or alcohol was forbidden, naturally, and that anyone who was caught with any of that sort of thing would have some mild form of disciplinary action taken as a consequence, and that the staff would then work even more closely with the individual to help them better overcome their additions.

Stopping at an open door, she showed them inside. It was set up to house two people as roommates.
"This room is empty, so two of you may claim this one. There is another opening here, across the hall." She added, showing them to another room which had one bed claimed, and the other empty. "I'll leave it up to you three to decide who gets which room, but I believe none of you ought to have any trouble with the other occupant." She smiled at them. "Is there anything else I can help you with? Any of you?"

Rhydian only realised now when he stopped shuffling in the vent channel he was crammed into that it was getting quite hot and stuffy in this vent. He would have verbally announced the fact to no one in particular if it weren't for the fact that he'd give his position away. He was tempted to bring out a music album on his phone to distract him from his current situation, but he decided against it as it would be, well, a distraction. Duh. Sighing, Rhydian continued his journey through his hot, damp, stuffy air vent. He was occasionally treated with the blast of cool air that rushed past him from a fan, but other than that his existence was drab and miserable. Oh, the sacrifices Rhydian made for the sake of snooping.

Rhydian made sure to keep his shuffle quiet as to not rouse any suspicion, and he figured even if he did make a little bit of banging noise, the people below him would just brush it off as a rat in the vents or something. Rhydian wasn't sure on how he felt about comparing himself to a rat, but he shrugged and kept on crawling. He finally found a vent grill that was situated directly below him which gave him a magnificent view of the room below. And he just about jumped out of his bloody pants when he saw who was in it.

The Doctor! The one he met in London only recently! Rhydian wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of magical string that connected time travellers together. He desperately wanted to clamber down through the tiny vent grill below, faceplant onto the floor and greet himself to the Time Lord, but it looked as if he was in a conversation at the moment with, he presumed, one of the staff of this institution, standing next to another handsome man in a large grey coat which he also presumed was the Doctor's aquaintance.

Rhydian quickly figured that The Doctor and this man next to him were probably here for the same reason he was here - investigation and infiltration. The boy figured that The Doctor wouldn't have an actual drug and alcohol addiction, and even if he did, he wouldn't go to one on twentieth-century Earth. This not only meant Rhydian had colleagues in espionage, but this also proved his theory - there was something very fishy going on here.

Hearing voices, Sayo poked his head into one of the rooms only to come face-to face with a couple of people he never thought he'd see in a facility like this. Expected, yes, but never truly thought he'd see them there. "Ah, hello." Grinning wide, he tucked his hands into the pockets of his borrowed coat and stepped up to the Doctor, eyeing him up and down then glancing over at Jack with a rather smug grin on his face. "Always knew you'd both end up in a place like this together."

Snickering to himself, he glanced over at the other man idly, more than one curious thought making it's way forward before shaking it off and turning back to the men he knew. "Wandered around a bit, spotted a rather well-protected door leading somewhere. I did plan on picking it but decided that perhaps it would be a good idea to have someone with me considering things happen to go wrong for me on a near-daily basis." Reaching up, he flicked the Doctor on the nose and grinned again. "Or would you rather sit in a room and think about all your addictions?"

Jack leaning back in the chair trying to pass the time hears a familiar voice that catches his attention. Leaning a bit to far back into his chair to check to see if it was who he thought it was Jack tipped out of chair crashing onto the ground. Rolling around on the ground a for bit due to some pain he'd stand up dusting himself off before looking at Sayo "You wanna talk about why im here? Lets talk about how you need to be in here." Jack said with a chuckle as he patted sayo on the back.

Listening to Sayo ramble a bit Jack stuffed his hands into the pockets of his jacket. "To be honest if you're here for the same reason I am. I dont see why not we cant go have an adventure."

Flannagan had busied himself, having listened as the woman rattled off the basic procedures that went down in the facility, checking his mobile phone quickly, having filled out his forms. His head snapped upwards, though faced in the wrong direction as a new voice had joined them. It seemed that Jack knew this figure and that they knew of the Doctor as well.

Looked more like a reunion than anything else.

They stood outside the doors, and Flannagan shrugged, gesturing to the room that the orderly had pointed out for one. "Looks like you two love-birds could bunk up wit' one another. Besides, I've got one 'ell of a snorin' problem." That was not true in the slightest, he just did not want to end up sharing a room.

The fact that they had been advised against drinking and that there would be consequences only made him more intrigued into trying to see what sort of punishments they doled out to patients who rebelled.

Dr Hawk raised an eyebrow as she watched the other man appear from somewhere, apparently paying no attention to anyone but the man who had come in with the girl. She remained quiet while he spoke to his friend about all the snooping he had done and how he'd decided to wait for his friend to join him before breaking into the restricted area. She clasped her hands together and stood quietly to the side, with a small smile. After they had talked for a moment, she spoke up.
"I really wouldn't suggest breaking into that room. It's very dangerous. But if you insist on seeing what's in there, I suppose I could escort you.." She thought for a moment. "Yes, perhaps a tour of the place would be nice. I have a few things to attend to but I'll return shortly and give you all a tour." She smiled happily. "That ought to be fun, right?"

About that time, one of the patients came down the hall, slowing his pace when he saw the strangers and doctor Hawk there. He almost looked like he might turn around but she smiled big and hurried to intercept him.
"Mr Willows! It's good to see you. How are you doing?"  She asked, guiding him closer to the group. "I'd like you to meet our new friends. Everyone, this is Mr Jeffrey Willows, one of the patients here, actually he's the one that one of you will be rooming with." She motioned to the room that it seemed that Flannagan had chosen, although she wasn't sure why he'd talked like he thought he would have the room to himself when there was already obviously one half of the room taken.

"Uh.. hi." Jeff frowned at them, wanting to tell them to get out and run while they could, but she was there so he didn't dare say anything. "It's just Jeff.." He added, glancing them all over.
"Well, I've got some things to do, so I'll leave you all to get acquainted. Mr Willows can help you all get settled in." Dr. Hawk said with a cheerful smile. "See you all at suppertime." She waved and strolled off down the hall. As soon as she was out of sight, she found some of the orderlies and gave them some instructions to make sure that the four of them were locked up in basements cells, as soon as possible.

Jeff watched her a bit tensely, and turned to the others anxiously.
"That woman's crazy, please, help me get out of here?" He pleaded. "Maybe it isn't too late.. you can get out right? Just.. take me with you.. that's all I ask. Please, I can't take much more of it..." He begged, not even sure who to turn to.. maybe he sounded like a crazy drunk who was desperate for a drink, but maybe they'd help him escape from this living nightmare.. it couldn't hurt to ask, right?

((10's writer was very busy IRL so he asked me to just skip over him this round and post. And speaking of, just wanted to leave a reminder, we're trying not to let this RP die and ask that if the person who goes ahead of you has been taking more than a couple of days posting, go ahead and skip over them and post so we can keep the RP moving even if people aren't posting on schedule. That way if someone is losing interest, or too busy to post, it doesn't keep the RP from progressing Thanks ))

((poke... Someone post please? Doesn't matter who, just someone post so we can continue the story!))
