Mount Elizabeth Hospital -- Inside the Morgue
Nice blinks. And then nods.
He slowly reaches over and... gently tugs on
the alarm.
[sblock=Beth]The din is overpowering. It's almost like getting socked in the gut. You manage to recover enough to wobbly follow the rest of the group out when they depart.[/sblock]
[sblock=Archer]
Archer manages to turn down his Auspex before being hit.[/sblock]
The old coroner is backing through the doorway "And don't think I can't smell that, this is a hospit..." the fire alarm starts of with a wheezing rattle but soon cranks up to a deafening roar that reverberates throughout the building.
The old man looks around, doesn't
see anything out of the ordinary and mutters something under his breath and heads back out of the room.
Nice quickly picks up body and screws his eyes tightly closed.
The body disappears completely. Nice looks just as he did before, as if there was no body at all.
With a nod of his head he leads the way out toward the corridor.
Mount Elizabeth Hospital -- Basement One Elevator
As the group returns to the elevator you can see the rodent-faced
Detective leaning against the wall near the button. His face is a sour mass, like he's stepped in something unpleasant.
Nice sidles up so to the panel and gently pushes the button.
Nothing happens.
The alarm continues to echo deafeningly in the building.
Less than a foot away the
Detective shifts pulls out a cigarette.
Nice presses the button again, gently.
Nothing happens.
Nice looks up at the little indicator for the elevator lights. They seem quite still.
The Detective snarls, throwing his unlit cigarette down and stalks off toward the Morgue.
"...horse pucky..." you can make out through the din.
Nice looks at the elevator, then at the detective's retreating back and then at the elevator again. Finally he walks over to the stairwell.
[sblock=The parking lot and Nice's direction] The hospital parking lot is on the third floor of the building. Nice is heading down deeper into the basement.[/sblock]
Mount Elizabeth Hospital -- Basement Two
Nice comes out of the stairwell and makes a left toward an area marked RESEARCH -- AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.
At a pair of double doors he waves a passkey, the doors swing open, and he leads the way into a better maintained area.
Mount Elizabeth Hospital -- Private Laboratory
[sblock=Beth]As you pass through the double doors you have an overwhelming sense of deja vue. For a minute you think that someone has their arm around your shoulder, But you look to your left and there's no one there.[/sblock]
The fire alarm is muted here allowing easy conversation in normal tones of voice.
Nice says,
We'll have to stay here until this thing blows over.
With a grunt he "drops" the shroud wrapped body of the other neonate. It suddenly appears on a table next to him with a heavy thud.
