EOTC: The Living Nightmare
Re: EOTC: The Living Nightmare
Reggie returns his Dad's hug just as fiercely.
"Sure thing, dad. We'll stay here and make sure the clinic stays safe." He realizes that his Dad just wants him to stay away from the danger of searching the buildings, but after everything that's happened today, Reggie is quite willing to play along. And protecting the doctors and their patients is an important job.

Ret only has a few scrapes, as well as Irina, but seem unchanged by the carnage. As they reach Reggie, Irina gives him a tight hug as the sheriff leaves. "Have you seen Nova?" she peers into his eyes, noticing the PTSD having likely set in, "It's bad, isn't it?"
"Nah, Rina. I'd say Reggie, Jack, Ryan and the sheriff would have easily beat these monsters!" Ret cheers, till he sees the look on Irina's face, looking at Reggie. Reggie has always noticed that Irina gets emotional in tense situations, but this is different. It's almost as though she can feel his loss as she fights back tears and tries to lead him towards one of the patient rooms.
Most of the rooms are filled with patients who've either suffered concussions or been horribly beaten. One was bitten and is being watched closely by the nursing staff. Eventually, they arrive at a room holding what could be Nova. The dark color of her hair mostly hides the blood caked into it. Her face is slightly swollen her hospital gown has blood soaking into it. She's strapped down like a convict or mentally unstable patient. Her skin is incredibly pale as she opens her eyes and looks at the three. Her eyes are orangish-yellow, like the undead.
"Hi... guys..." she weakly says as she waves a few fingers, one missing a fingernail, at them from where her arms are strapped against the bed.

Re: EOTC: The Living Nightmare
Reggie winces at Ret's words. "This isn't like a story book, Ret," he says quietly. "A lot of people are dead."
Seeing all the injured reinforces the idea that being assigned guard duty is still an important job, even if it's not flashy one. Most of these people wouldn't be able to run or defend themselves against an attack.
Seeing Nova was a bit of a shock, she looked like hell, but when she opened her eyes Reggie suddenly found himself having a flashback to seeing his mother, turned into a zombie.
Luckily the shock and fear had only begun to set in when she actually spoke, something none of the dead have done.
Hesitently Reggie asks, "N-Nova? You're still ... you?"

Ret looks as though he is about to ask who, but knows better than to speak anymore.

Seeing Nova is unnerving. She looks close to death. When she opens her eyes, Reggie suddenly finds himself having a flashback to seeing his mother, turned into a zombie. Luckily the shock and fear only begins to set in when she finally speaks, something none of the dead have done.
Hesitantly, Reggie asks, "N-Nova? You're still ... you?"
She slowly nods, then winces from some pain in her side, "Yeah, Reg. Thanks to Shep. It was close though. I don't even remember what happened to me, exactly. But he looked like an angel." Her normally blue eyes, now orangish-yellow, pierce into Reggie's. "How bad do I look? Did Corvus make it?" Reggie hasn't seen him since the fishing scare. She tries to reach up to feel her head, but the straps prevent it.

Re: EOTC: The Living Nightmare
"I haven't heard anything about Corvus. Dad and the power armour guys are starting a sweep to find survivors and take out zombies."
"As for how you look, well," Reggie glances around to make sure none of the adults are real close before quietly continuing, "You look like ten pounds of crap shoved into a five pound bag. You really got worked over. The weirdest part is your eyes have changed colour, they're kind of a yellow orange colour now."

Fear flashes through her eyes as he mentions the power armors.

"Wwwhaa?" she tries to look for any reflective surface, almost panicking, "But, all of my makeup is to accent my blue eyes! No!" She suddenly has energy as she pulls against the straps again; almost bending the bars they're strapped to.
Ret and Irina notice as Ret quickly says, "Hey... Ummm... I forgot my coffee... yea.." and trots away.
"I think he needs my help," Irina adds and runs after him.
Nova stares at the side rail to her bed, which is now bent. "Did I do that?" All she can do is stare, like it isn't real.

Re: EOTC: The Living Nightmare
Reggie is surprised and impressed by the feat of strength (and somewhat unnerved). He looks around the room for a mirror or something that can function as such. "Yeah, looks like whatever happened to you has made you a lot stronger."
'She's that upset because her makeup no longer matches her eyes?,' he thinks to himself, rolling his eyes a bit at the thought. 'Girls.'
If he can find a mirror he'll bring it over so she can see herself.

As he looks, he thinks, oO(She's that upset because her makeup no longer matches her eyes?)Oo to himself, rolling his eyes a bit at the thought. oO(Girls)Oo Reggie quickly locates a makeup mirror, often used for self surgery or exactly what he's about to use it for.
He begins taking it over to Nova when Doctor Anderson bursts into the room, "Wait!" He examines the bent bars and sighs, "Nova, I'm going to give you a sedative to calm you down slightly," as he grabs a syringe and vial and begins filling the needle.
"Doctor, it was an accident. I don't need that stuff," she pleads, "I didn't know I was that strong!" almost crying.
"I'm sorry, but to be safe, this is the best option." The doctor replies.
Reggie knows that Nova's always hated needles. She's terrified of them. She begins squirming as the doctor finishes up filling the syringe.
"It's okay, Nova. I'm just going to put it into your IV," he says as he holds up a tube and injects the sedatives into the end of one of the ports. Within seconds, Nova begins to slide into unconsciousness, but not before motioning for Reggie to try and show herself in the mirror.

Re: EOTC: The Living Nightmare
Reggie brings the mirror over for her to look at, hoping he's holding it at the right angle for her to see.

Re: EOTC: The Living Nightmare
Reggie brings the mirror over for her to look at, hoping he's holding it at the right angle for her to see. Yet, her eyes slowly close before she can focus on her face. Doctor Anderson sighs, takes a moment, then turns to Reggie, "Listen, I may have to keep you all away from her for a while. We aren't sure if she's contagious or if she's only in a transitional stage of the infection. We know nothing about this plague that's stricken the town." He looks extremely bothered, "I hope you understand," he finishes as he motions for Reggie to leave the room.
