event: new and improved; factory day 2

[mayfield_mods]

[Welcome to the Factory.

A blackened, dilapidated building sitting on the edge of town, it seems to have appeared out of nowhere overnight. It is surrounded by an electrified fence; should anyone on the outside (or the inside) try to cross it, they will find themselves repelled by the force with painful electric shocks. No amount of strength, size, magic, or flying ability will get you past the fence.

The Factory itself looks like it's been through hell. It's falling apart on the outside. Half of the building looks collapsed. The bricks are scorched. All of the window frames are rusted. It certainly doesn't look like a place that should be up and running, but it is. Dr. Johnson and her team are scurrying around the building, performing treatments, operations, and experimentations- making 'improvements'.

Following your treatment and/or surgery, you wake up- or don't- in a filthy room. It's nothing like the fairly sterile surgery room had been. You're crammed in there with dozen other 'patients', each in varying stages of recovery.

You're probably in moderate to severe pain. The pain might be so great that you are incapable of moving. Perhaps some of your limbs are missing or maybe you find huge gaps in your memory. Maybe you're very sick with some disease you don't recall developing. Either way, you were sent in for 'improvements', and you've been 'improved' as much as Dr. Johnson thinks you needed.

If they're lucid enough, the other patients will probably talk to you. You'll find that, like you, they're all non-drone townspeople.

You'll be contained here for 24 hours. Following that, you'll be released. When you leave the building, you'll find yourself outside the hospital in Mayfield with the Factory nowhere to be seen.

The Factory rooms are as follows:

Recovery: A large recovery room with dozens and dozens of gurneys and beds. It's filled with equipment like IVs and medical charts. This is where all characters will wake up. It's very unsanitary in here.

Operating room: Where you endured your surgery, treatment, and/or experiment. All operating and medical supplies are still here. Dr. Johnson is nowhere to be found.

Supply room: Standard medical supplies are found here. They include typical doctors' equipment, bandages, medicines, and the like. There's nothing particularly strong or lethal here, nor is there anything sharp which could be used as a weapon.

Lobby: The front lobby of the Factory. Designed like a hospital lobby, it also contains the waiting room. Dated 1950s magazines are strewn everywhere.

Today, January 28th, the following characters will be brought to the factory following their operations:



Wes Janson
Nena Trinity

Sara Mudou
Roxanne Ritchi
Nia Teppelin
Magnus Bane

[ooc; The Factory post will be used for IC interactions for the 24 hours that your character will be made to stay. They are free to interact with other patients before their release. Only the above characters should reply to this post.

The mods will respond to the sign-up comments of the above characters to let them know the results of their surgery.]

Comments

Recovery Room, Open

[vytis]

[Lithuania remembers the surgery, but nothing before that. He thinks there must have been something before that, but it's a distant sort of thought. More importantly, he's staring at his limbs like they're not his. They aren't, he had normal ones and they got cut off, and now he's got these robotic ones and didn't that woman cut out part of his brain and--

He looks up, suddenly, trying to push those thoughts away. There are other people here, and maybe they have a better idea of what's happening than he does.]

Excuse me?

[tennen]

[Shion will freeze up at the sound of Lithuanis'a voice and scoot toward the wall until his back is flush against the space where the bed's headboard should be.]

What do you want from me?

[vytis]

[Lithuania blinks at the boy, startled by his reaction.]

Are you alright? I-I just wanted to know if you knew what was going on?

[Given what happened to him, maybe asking if he was alright wasn't the most clever question, but still, it doesn't seem as if there's anything particularly threatening in the immediate area.]

[tennen]

Don't play dumb with me! I know what you're trying to do!

[Shion brings his knees up to his chest and stares at what appears to be nothing, eyebrows deeply furrowed.]

[vytis]

W-what am I trying to do?

[He shifts back and his left arm locks up at the elbow.]

[tennen]

I can see through you! I can see through everything!

I won't let you kill me! You, you--!

[He leans over and frantically grabs his head with both hands.]

[vytis]

[There's a pop as his joint unlocks as he struggles to wheel himself back in his wheelchair.]

I'm not trying to kill you! I don't even know who you are!

[tennen]

[A series of images flash through his mind, though the sedation still hasn't completely worn off.]

Don't come any closer!

[And whether Lithuania is wheeling closer or not, Shion will scoot toward the far edge of the bed, trembling and curled in on himself in self-defense.]

[vytis]

I-I'm sorry?!

[One of Lithuania's arms sparks and fails, jerking his wheelchair in a useless circle and loosening one of his legs. He makes a little, startled noise and goes about trying to reattach it properly.]

Re: Recovery Room, Open

[surf_n_makai]

[Kono turns her head to look toward the voice. Doing so causes the room to spin more than it already is, and she feels herself gasping for more air. The newly-grafted gills on her neck flap, but to no avail. She notices Lithuania looks very confused, and even in her own misery wants to help.]

Yes?

[vytis]

[Lithuania looks at the gills, wondering how one would go about connecting those to someone. Then again, he has robot limbs.]

Do you know what's going on here?

[Because there has to be a reason for all of this, right? He just forgot it. Maybe this had a reasonable explanation. He hoped it had a reasonable explanation.]

[surf_n_makai]

[Kono sits down slowly - she's feeling dizzy. Again.]

Dunno. Mayfield's [gasp] like that.

[vytis]

Mayfield? What's that?

[surf_n_makai]

You don't [gasp] remember Mayfield?

[Kono looks him up and down, her frown growing deeper as she takes in his robotic arms.]

[gasp] What did they do [gasp] to you?

[vytis]

I can't remember anything before my surgery, I'm afraid.

[Lithuania shifts and his legs crackle with electricity.]

[surf_n_makai]

[Kono stares at his legs a second, then looks back up at him.]

Sorry. They must have done [gasp] something to your [gasp] brain too.

[gasp]I'm Kono.

[vytis]

They did.

[Awkwardly.] It's nice to meet you, Miss. I'm afraid I can't introduce myself...

[balaton]

What's with you? [Her voice is slightly slurred with the after effect of the drugs]

[vytis]

[Lithuania is caught off-guard by the question; he has robot arms and he's really confused, that's what's up with him.]

Ah, I just wanted to know if you knew what was going on...

[balaton]

What does it look like? We've been tortured and now we're trapped. It's obvious like the sun.

[vytis]

I mean--why?

[Awkwardly, because admitting to this sounds so ridiculous, but:]

I'm afraid I don't remember anything before today, Miss.

[balaton]

[The unfortunate thing that while Hungary's been intent on apologizing to Lithuania, this surge in her own hostility throws that resolution out of the window.]

They did a bad one on you, huh? And you'd think your funny metal extensions would've been enough.

[vytis]

[There's always after Mayfield is done with its monthly torment session.

He looks down at the limbs in question thoughtfully.]

Y-yes. I remember the surgery, but that's it, and they--

[Took out a piece of his brain oh God; he's shaking a little, but doesn't realize it.]

...Yes. I-is there any reason for this, then? They're--are they just torturing us?

[balaton]

Did they tinker with your brain as well or are you just dumb? Since when did they ever have a reason for any of this?

Just talking to you makes me mad!

[vytis]

[Lithuania shifts and his leg crackles with electric sparks.]

I don't even know who they are!
