Outside Town Hall: around noon
Altra stalked out of the makeshift hospital and into the open air.
He finally knew what the forebodings were that had been making him twitch since Thursday, but it wasn't much comfort. Whatever this sickness was, it couldn't be natural.
So he was Jumping back to Karse, to see if he could find something, anything, to help.
Or that was the plan.
Several seconds after he Jumped away, he was back, crashing into the ground out of nowhere, fur standing on end and eyes wild. He'd hit a wall. He tried again, aiming for Valdemar, and again, aiming, out of desperation, for the mainland.
Each time, he slammed into the barrier and it bounced him back.
Panting, exhausted, more shaken than he'd ever admit, he gave up, pulling himself to his feet to limp back into the hospital.
