[RL with Birkin, possibly Krauser and Wesker if they want]

Nov 14, 2009 19:15

Stein sat on the floor in his favourite laboratory, the cold of the concrete soaking into his body and leaching the warmth from it even through his clothes and lab coat. He hadn't turned on the lights when he entered the room, so it was nearly pitch-black except for a small square of light that lay across the examination table in the middle ( Read more... )

Birkin wasn't really sure why he bothered counting himself. All he knew was that by the time he sprinted up the steps to Stein's house and threw open the door, he was at 128 seconds. His sense of direction had never been that good, Stein had no idea where he was, and it wasn't like he had seen most of the house the last time he was here anyway. Just the bedroom, the bathroom, the living room - which is where he currently stood - and... The lab. That had to have been it; that glass he heard shatter must have been a group of beakers or something. And best of all, he actually remembered how to get there.

He took off running down the hall, quite nearly tripping a few times before reaching his destination. 156. "Stein?" Birkin couldn't see a thing. He was used to darkness, but this was ridiculous. Vaguely remembering seeing a light switch when he was looking around the lab after being attacked and tied down, he groped for the switch, sighing softly in relief as he found it. 179. The room was bathed in light. And there was Stein, ( ... )

Stein flinched as light flooded the room, throwing his arms up to hide his eyes with a startled noise. He had been in the dark long enough that it took his eyes a few moments to readjust.

He looked up, squinting through his glasses at Birkin.

"Birkin...Birkin, I can see you now. I guess we'd better get started."

He got to his feet and shrugged out of his labcoat, letting it fall to the floor in a heap.

"Yeah. You might have been able to see me a bit better if you turned on the light." Birkin laughed to himself softly. Shitty joke. His lip quivered for a second. This was nothing, he reminded himself for the umpteenth time. Just one of those episodes he talked about having. He'd be fine soon and everything would go back to normal in a few days, a week max. "I'm just happy you got back safe."

Birkin raised an eyebrow at the labcoat. "I'd put that back on if I were you." He took a few cautious steps closer - much as he hated to admit it, this sudden onslaught of psychosis scared him a bit. "We're going back to my world to help you get better, alright?" He closed the rest of the distance between them and put a hand on Stein's shoulder. "I know you think you have to stay here right now, but what you really have to do is heal your mind and get yourself back to normal ( ... )

Stein glanced numbly at the hand on his shoulder. Birkin was talking crazy. What he said didn't make sense at all. Stein knew just what needed to happen now.

He shrugged off the hand and hopped up onto the operating table. "Right, I have to get better," he said, and gave a little giggle. "Time for the operation."

He seized a scalpel off of the table next to the table and brought it towards his own forehead.
