Frank helps him up, and sits him down

Frank:"I'm getting you a nurse...What you like? Blonde? Brunette? Redhead?"

Cryonix Thu Jan 05, 2012 6:51 am

Cynthia's dad: Um...all of the above...?

Jabberwocky Thu Jan 05, 2012 6:52 am

Frank:"Heh see what I can do. Be right back."

Cryonix Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:27 pm

As soon as Frank leaves to find the nurses...Cynthia's dad falls to the ground...

Pockets Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:37 pm

Cynthia, almost in shock at this treatment of her parents, snaps out of her stupor to kneel beside her father and try to help him into a nearby seat.

Cynthia: I'm right here... and Frank will be right back with a nurse... just hang on....

Cryonix Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:39 pm

Charles: H...honey, I'll be okay. T....tend to your mother. She's the one that's important to me...

Pockets Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:44 pm

Cynthia: She's here, she's being taken care of. It's your turn now father.

Cryonix Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:47 pm

Charles: I....had to ....be that way around you. I thought....if....you hated me...enough...I could get you...away from this...

Pockets Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:48 pm

Cynthia: The whole time... you were trying to chase me off?

Cryonix Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:50 pm

Charles: ...Y..yes. I knew you didn't want this.

Pockets Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:53 pm

Cynthia: I don't want....

She gestures around the hospital room.

Cynthia: ... this, either.

Cryonix Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:56 pm

Charles: Better my daughter can live her life the way she wants to. If this is the price...I am willing to pay it.

Pockets Fri Jan 06, 2012 9:58 pm

Cynthia: I don't know how yet... but I need to get you and mother away from all of this. I can't stand by just to let it happen again.

Cryonix Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:03 pm

Charles: I am a Skull, Cyn. It is what it is. I was able to spare your mother and you from this.

Pockets Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:06 pm

Cynthia sighs.

Cynthia: No. You weren't. Until now you were able to blunt it though. You do realize there will be retribution for this. I wasn't joking.

Cryonix Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:09 pm

Charles: Wha..t are you talking about?

Pockets Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:15 pm

Cynthia: Quite ironically, Sexton himself inadvertently introduced me to someone with connections I don't believe he can touch.

Cryonix Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:16 pm

Charles: Oh?

Pockets Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:19 pm

Cynthia glances around.

Cynthia: I do not know who could be listening... but I know there are ears almost everywhere. You'll just have to trust me on this.

Cryonix Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:23 pm

Charles: If you...says so...hon. I just....

He passes out...

Pockets Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:26 pm

Cynthia: Father!

She steadies him before he can fall off the chair, and glances worriedly down the hall trying to catch a glimpse of Frank or a passing doctor or nurse.

Jabberwocky Sat Jan 07, 2012 12:29 am

Moments later Frank and a nurse come rushing in. She starts checking him.

Nurse:"Where did these marks come from??"

Pockets Sat Jan 07, 2012 12:32 am

Cynthia looks uncomfortable.

Cynthia: From a... ritual punishment, I suppose.

Jabberwocky Sat Jan 07, 2012 12:43 am

The nurse stands
Nurse:"I'm calling the police."

Pockets Sat Jan 07, 2012 12:45 am

Cynthia looks alarmed.

Cynthia: No... wait! There are... adherents everywhere. That might do more harm than good. Just get him healed up, please!
