Aubrey should really learn to stop running towards the sound of disasters, because xe always finds xemself somewhere awkward. Like now. Xe's stopped xemself with the doorway of the infirmary, and is kind of just staring, the surgical mask still on xes head.
"What the -- who're you?" xe blurts out at the man in the middle of the floor. "And what'd you do to the floor?" Tact is for the weak.
"I have no fucking clue what I did to the floor," Methos mutters. "I'm one of the basement residents. Adam Pierson. One second I was up in the secondary quarantine zone, wandering the halls, and then, I'm down here in the middle of a sunken floor. I have no idea how, or why."
"Well that's...weird." Xe surveys the room again, shoots a grin at this Adam guy, and leans farther into the room, starting to offer a hand. "I'm Aubrey. Looks like you could use some help cleaning this -- wait."
The words 'quarantine zone' settle into Aubrey's head. Xe quickly withdraws xes hand, pulling the mask back down to xes face. It's not as though xe thinks it'll stop the plague, and xe's not even convinced xe's contagious anymore (after all, what's left is merely a lingering cough), but it makes xem feel better to have the mask on. "You came from the quarantine upstairs? Shit." It's probably fairly obvious what Aubrey's worried about.
"What-Oh. Right. Uh, don't worry about it, I think I'm... immune." He won't say why. The fewer people who know here, the fewer will want his head. Or so his reasoning goes. He's not even sure the Game exists here.
He squats and starts picking up pieces of glass and such, and wondering what he's going to do about the floor.
