[ hello, network. shirley has been searching, snooping, and poking today; what she knows troubles her, which is not why she sighs before she begins. no, because when you have places to be and people to kill, pausing to take care of little ones is...not daunting or annoying. definitely strange. and the last thing she wants to do, but the children!

[And while Shirley may be worried about the many small children running around without supervision, someone is stepping into the clinic. Hood up and face obscured, he moves silently through the hallways with no objective in mind.]

TL;DR IN MY ACTION? SAY IT ISN'T SO. sob. healful July 24 2011, 04:47:38 UTC

[ it's funny: shirley had walked to the clinic in the same way - drawn to it, though, before she had even realized its existence offered some sense of knowledge and familiarity. and it was strange because the familiarity didn't derive from her immediate fit in any clinic. as if she knew this clinic specifically. she didn't even have time to deny the feeling when her feet led her through the doors, and residuals of her own magic molded to her presence.

she has been here before.

whether she has or not, the staff's familiarity with her hadn't alarmed, though. she has a reputation, after all; people either hear of her or witness her. and if she has been here before... imagine her surprise, though, when they gave her so much control and trust in her authority.

it is convenient: food, shelter, and safety until she left. ("they" could say as much as they wanted. shirley knows no definiteness, and unbreakable magic is only unbreakable to the weak. there is a way, and she will find it.) with her authority, it can be a place for the children ( ... )

It's beautiful~<333 key_destination July 24 2011, 04:55:46 UTC

...

[There's a long stretch of silence once the person turns toward her, lowering his head a little as he tries to understand the question. "Help", a keyword. What did he need help with exactly? He's not sure.

And what might seem like too long a pause, he shakes his head slowly.]

❤! healful July 24 2011, 05:02:47 UTC

[ ...okay then. shirley is dubious. ]

Are you certain?

[ maybe the person is concussed? or drunk? in shock? ]

key_destination July 24 2011, 05:10:46 UTC

...

[Again, another pause of silence as he looks up at her and the hood slips enough to reveal his face. He doesn't understand that question either, but it might be hard to tell with his dulled expression as if he's still asleep. The question is still processing at a sluggish rate though. Are you-...are you-...not "certain", but he is--]

...Thirteen.

healful July 24 2011, 05:15:55 UTC

Excuse me?

[ - and it's another child. not as young as the others but young enough. her eyebrows knit together, and she shakes her head. ]

Come with me.

[ you are now a patient! ]

key_destination July 24 2011, 05:19:50 UTC

[His eyebrows knit together too as if trying to mimic her, but his gaze soon drifts to her hand. He barely lifts his arm before it falls back to his side while he nods and starts to follow.]

...

healful July 24 2011, 05:31:11 UTC

[ she leads him to the patient area, the short-term care: beds and curtains, and little else to suggest permanence. shirley motions to one for him to sit on.

faculty check time: ]

Do you know who you are?

key_destination July 24 2011, 05:35:14 UTC

[His expression dulls again and his movements almost seems robotic as he takes a seat. The question is met with silence until he looks down at his hands.]

Number...Thirteen.

[And then like an afterthought:] Roxas.

healful July 24 2011, 08:10:58 UTC

[ a nod, con...fused as she is by his behavior and movements. she even smiles like a good doctor - er, healer. ]

Good.

[ usual tests for memory include time and place, but roxas could very well be new to the city. would he even know if he is? that could derail the assessment. - ah! ]

Do you remember the first thing I said to you?

key_destination July 24 2011, 15:00:53 UTC

[He looks vaguely confused for a moment before he nods his head and opening his mouth to speak. Nothing seems to come, so he shuts it again and lowers his head. Words are hard, but finally:]

...Help.

healful July 24 2011, 16:19:16 UTC

[ ... :|a ]

What is this?

[ she points to a pitcher. ]

key_destination July 24 2011, 16:24:18 UTC

...

...

[He shakes his head. It doesn't seem like a very important object anyways.]

healful July 24 2011, 16:33:55 UTC

This, then?

[ she points to the bedside chair. ]

key_destination July 24 2011, 16:37:08 UTC

[Wait, wait- he knows this! Lots of big white ones, he knows this.]

...Chair.

healful July 24 2011, 19:34:09 UTC

[ glancing about... ]

And this? Last question, I promise.

[ she motions toward the curtain. ]
