[You've thought there's not much wrong with this place, eh? It seemed so safe despite their accusations. You thought wrong.. There's a crackling sound from the intercom, and a distant sound further down the hall. It isn't coming from the wing you know. The wing they called off limits perhaps. There's chatter tonight, brief as it may be.]-Did you

[A is sleepy, really, and this isn't helping. He could use his power to shut off the intercom until morning, but that would be the reasonable, logical thing to do. Instead, he scratches back at his own intercom - hopefully it'll be just as annoying to them.

That's what he'd meant to do, anyway, but the instant he touches the intercom the tips of his fingers separate into helixes, spiraling through - whoever is on the other side will see fingers, then most of a hand, then a wrist and the edge of a sleeve reform out of spiral strips of flesh and cloth.]

[stedelweiss_npc]

[There's a soft brush against his fingers, and a breath of air over the palm. Then the giggling goes quiet. Maybe it just a patient?]

[doyouloveme]

[...well, as long as he's started warping, he may as well go all the way through and see what's up. Be there in 3, 2, 1...]

[stedelweiss_npc]

[A nurse is standing half in the shadows when he arrives. She's turned in the direction of his room and shifts to face him when he comes through. If at all possible, the giggling increases.]

[doyouloveme]

[Oh. It's just a nurse out at night alone...... A nurse. Out at night. And alone, even.

A's face twists into an unnerving grin - it doesn't touch his eyes, and could even be called sadistic - just before he summons wires from behind the intercom to strike at the nurse and pierce her through. Even weakened, with him standing there they'll have a reach of several yards before wilting.]

[stedelweiss_npc]

[At first it seems like he'll get what he wants. She stands there in the shadows, giggling like a loon. In the next instant she's sprung into motion, the wires never brushing her clothes. Too fast to be called human despite all appearances otherwise.

She spreads her fingers like claws, while her giggles settle into a persistent rhythm. The Nurse is coming for A, like a predator that's sighted prey.]

[doyouloveme]

[Unfortunately for A, he has always been at the top; a creature with no natural predators will not back down against anything because he sees no dangers. A snaps back the wires and tries to redirect them, but despite retaining close-range control he, frustratingly, can't seem to hit her.]

[stedelweiss_npc]

[She twists to avoid the wires and keeps coming. If he keeps holding his ground she'll slam into him.]

[doyouloveme]

[A doesn't back down. If anything, failing to make impact is getting him angry, and dodging would require more sense than he has.]

[stedelweiss_npc]

[The sense of failure, is a terrible thing, isn't it? She slams into him with a great amount of force, nails seeking to dig into his skin. Her strength is brutal and as unnatural as her speed. Her nails seek to tear into him, while the giggling continues.]

[doyouloveme]

[An anguished scream tears from his throat as the blow connects, slicing into him. That hurts, it hurts, enough to make him dizzy and blur his vision with tears. Hazy memories tell him that it's as bad as some of the experiments but it's been years since those and this really freaking hurts.

The wires continue trying to attack her, but the aim that had missed before is now erratic. If he can reach the intercom, he's warping back to his cell. Even the desire for some kind of revenge isn't worth this kind of pain when it's not in C's name.]

[stedelweiss_npc]

[The wires graze her, yet she doesn't react to them. Her hands keep up their work, trying to draw jagged lines down his skin. Run away little boy. Run away. As he tries to escape she follows him, seeking to carve deeper wounds into his flesh.]

[doyouloveme]

[He steps on the edge of his pants while trying to back away; the fabric slides against the floor tiles and traces of blood that have dripped to the floor. Falling against the wall, he loses precious seconds regaining enough balance to push back the few more steps before his hand brushes against the intercom. This once, dematerializing is agonizingly slow.]

[stedelweiss_npc]

[Maybe it helps when the nurse seeks to slam him up against the wall. Maybe it doesn't.]

[doyouloveme]

[Sorry Nunnally, he's a little too... preoccupied to answer. He definitely sounds like he's in pain, though.

BTW nurse that is definitely not helping, thanks.

Just a few more seconds and he'll be back in his cell...]
