Day 38: Sun Room

Jan 10, 2009 10:25

Matt had to bite his tongue hard to keep from insisting he would be perfectly comfortable in the library, really, and could he please stop being led around like freaking cattle? As the nurse drew him into the empty Sun Room, the answer to that seemed to be a resounding 'No ( Read more... )

[a Harley for Matt?]

For close to a week already, Meesy had been looking rather green around the gills. All she had done was lie in bed... It was weird. One would think a hospital would be equipped to handle random bugs lickity split. But this morning, Harley woke up to find the room empty. Likely that was due to sleeping in. She'd missed breakfast and everything. If she was wandering around, maybe the girl had gotten better.

Her nurse didn't volunteer any information regarding her roommate. Ohh, no. All she did was talk about dragging Harley to the library of all places. The library. Of all places, why there?! The library made her think of that super fun night with the homicidal white bug thing. Plus she'd probably explode from restlessness ( ... )

Matt frowned when it seemed as though company was to be forced on him and he sat up a bit straighter, ragging a hand over his red hair to smooth it out slightly.

Smiling, he nodded politely to the nurse and shifted to make room for 'Ms Dumas.'

Oh good. She had a sense of humor. He laughed slightly and shrugged. "So it would seem," he said. He'd been casually listening to the others in the room and everyone seemed ... tense. "Perhaps it's something in the water. I'm Matt. Matt Murdock," he offered.

Whoa. A laugh! There really wasn't much of that in this place, now was there? That was enough to get her smiling herself. Hey, maybe she wasn't being saddled with another grump this time. Maybe.

"Heya, Matt-o. Harley Quinn," she responded, already sounding a bit more chipper. Though she had turned to him, she wasn't paying such close attention that she would notice his lack of eye contact. "Maybe everyone's just grumpy cause of therapy. Sittin' in a room gettin' grilled by some hack doc don't sound like the best way to spend an afternoon, ya know?"

She somewhat looked forward to it at Arkham since person-to-person interaction didn't happen all that often, and it got boring being alone. This place luckily didn't have that problem.

Sitting up a bit more, Matt started to pay a bit more attention. "Therapy? Sounds interesting," he offered, hoping for more information. "If a little dull, yeah. Well, Miss Quinn, what sorts of things to they offer around here in the way of 'fun'? I haven't been here too long myself."

He was fishing for information, not sure what he should ask or be looking for in the first place.

Interesting? Really? She didn't find anything interesting about it. Most therapy sessions just turn into arguments, at least in her past experience at Arkham. It was actually a pretty big pain in the butt ( ... )

"It hasn't been too bad during the day, you're right," Matt offered. This woman was very ... excitable it seemed.

"A bulliton board?" That was obviously what everyone was coming in to write on then. "That sounds useful, though the clubs... I don't know about that. I'm not much of a 'joiner'," he said with a sardonic smile and shrug. "Though, who knows? I may have to work with other people here." He wasn't sure what was going to happen tonight. Would he travel with Steve and Kurt again? It really was something of a fluke he'd found them at all. What if he couldn't find them tonight? Would his mysterious roommate allow him to tag along? Would this woman? He wasn't about to ask though.

"What's the town like? What's it called?" Maybe then Matt could get a feeling as to where they were.

So, she was right! Maybe she hadn't lost her knack to read people as much as she'd assumed. "...Probably best ya do. Take it from me: This ain't exactly the best place to be wanderin' by yourself."

Meeting a spider bigger than a go-cart was enough to drill that lesson into anyone.

As for the name... She had been told the name once. It was a really weird stupid sounding name, like something from those tv sitcoms. "It was um... Dammy, Dorton, Dayl... Oh! Doyleton! That was it!" Boy, it was still a really weird name. "Like I said, pretty small town. Only a few streets and barely anythin' worth payin' attention to. Books, tools, hair salon... borin' stuff."

There was a hint of disappointment in her sigh. "I tried lookin' around, but outside of town all ya see are mountains. Air was pretty clean, too, so it don't seem like it's near any cities. Not that many people in it either. Really makes ya feel like you're out int he sticks or somethin'."
