Where the HELL did my stuff go?

I know I had at least an extra bottle of morphine in my bag.

Goddammit, this pain is killing me...

If it’s not one thing after another. Crap. I know they couldn’t have just dropped out.
Someone took it. Someone took it. Someone took all my stuff.

Knew I shouldn’t have agreed to come here.

I sorted out your things.

I'll give you Tylenol or something, but nothing stronger.

For now, just worry about resting.

[axinfinity]

You WHAT?

How am I supposed to rest when I feel like my brain's about to explode again? I had those for a reason!

[harrynotmary]

And your body is obviously getting used to the drugs you found. Isn't it?

I'm sorry you're in pain, but you're going to kill yourself if you keep dosing up like this.

[axinfinity]

I've handled worse. My body is different; I can handle the drugs.

Kill myself? I'm already dead.

[harrynotmary]

And you can handle starving yourself, too, I see.

You seem pretty alive to me, Rion.

Listen. I'll speak with Ms. Chambers. If she thinks you need something stronger than what I'll give you, then I'll reluctantly accept to give it to you. But if she doesn't think it's a good idea, you'll have to bear with it until we find a solution.

[axinfinity]

A minor inconvenience. I could've gone on for another two months without food.

Oh great, I must seem pretty alive. That means so much, really. I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Reluctantly? You have no idea what this feels like. Pain hardly begins to describe it.

[harrynotmary]

Minor? You were lucky to be even on your own two feet when I found you, Rion. Don't exaggerate for your own sake.

Knock it off; if you aren't alive, what the hell does it mean when you're in pain, then?

I don't want to be hard on you, but it has to be this way for now until I get further instructions from someone who's more familiar in the medical field than I am.

[axinfinity]

I would've gone to get food eventually if I hadn't woken up on top of the tallest building in this damn city a few days ago.

I don't know, okay? All I know is my brain shut down and I died and, honestly, it's too bad I didn't stay that way.

So far the only people in the medical field I've met have either shot me, pump me full of drugs, and tried to kill me. Sorry if I'm not confident that any doctor is going to help me.

[harrynotmary]

You were skin and bones when I found you, Rion. You didn't seem to be in a huge rush. Look, I can understand why you feel better to do things on your own; you're not ready to trust anyone. But I genuinely want to help you, believe it or not, and that's why I brought you here.

It seems like a lot of dead people are popping up here. Your life is more precious than you think.

I understand that fear a lot more than you may understand. I won't let her near you, but I'm just taking her advice for now. If there's any malicious intent, I won't let anyone hurt you.

[axinfinity]

It's not like I can look into a mirror to see how I look. I do feel like crap. I believe you, though. Don't know why, but I do.

You have no idea what I have done. Sure.

Okay. Okay... Fine. Can I just have something, at least?

[harrynotmary]

I know. You weren't doing too well, I can tell you that.

I don't have to know, Rion.

Not morphine. I'll get you something, though.

[axinfinity]

Guess I'll take your word for it.

You should. A lot of people could die.

Why are you helping me, Harry? I don't get it.

[harrynotmary]

People might die in many circumstances. If you think I should know your history, you can always tell me, but I don't think it's right to pry that much into your business.

I guess I don't see a good reason as to why I shouldn't be helping you.

[axinfinity]

It's probably best you don't know all the details. It's just that I'm still...

The drugs sort of kept me from thinking about it.

No one is that altruistic. Sorry.

[harrynotmary]

They're a crutch?

If it helps, I have no ulterior motive in helping you, Rion. I don't know what kind of place you came from, but I really do just want to help you. Not because I want anything from you.

[axinfinity]

Not all of it. I'm used to it. Just have to be careful now; there's no Delmetor around and I lost my medicine pouch, so... if I overdo it, I won't make it. That's why. This pain is nothing compared to shorting out.

That's what people usually say.

I don't have any donations, anyway.
