NEW COMERS POST 1

[proximods]

Who: OPEN TO ALL
What: The first wave of newcomers arrive in the hospital.
Where: The Hospital, Center City
When: July 26
Warnings: Please tag any smut or triggers in the comment subject line.

The common room is just as brightly lit and white as the rest of the hospital. There are some scattered seats - large plush chairs and stiff looking couches, as well as wooden chairs at tables - and a TV blaring local soap operas in the corner. A few long tables are set up along the walls, each with a sign dangling down from the front to inform newcomers of what they can find here. Housing, job opportunities, and the Proxima Gamma Information Desk. Minus a few pamphlets about the unique attractions the island has to offer, there isn’t really that much of use on the last table. It’s clearly meant more for tourists than people who have been kidnapped.

Another set of tables hold a variety of snacks; fruits, vegetables, various candies, as well as a table with water, punch, and soda. No alcohol, unfortunately - this is a hospital, after all. You’ll have to leave to go find a bar for something stronger than that.

There’s not much place else to go - so come on in, settle down, and maybe find a familiar face, if you’re lucky.

"Yes." The answer is immediate, before Kim even has time to process who is asking the question or why. People are generally unwelcome in Kim's bubble, and Kim's bubble was actually relatively large.

But then when finding oneself in a brand new area with complete strangers and still no access to her lab or theoretically infinite funding, it was probably a good idea to shrink the bubble down and meet people.

"Uh, I mean, that one isn't though," she said, pointing to the seat next to it, two seats down from Kim. Next to her was still too close. She'd get claustrophobic.

Hayley nods once, then shrugs. The answer was a bit short, but maybe this person had been asked that by someone else already and was getting tired of the question. Hayley isn't one to question the reply though; she'd asked a clear question and received a clear answer. That was all she was looking for. "Okay." She obviously doesn't want to steal an occupied seat, so she sits two seats down. A few seconds later, she glances back over at the person, just out of curiosity.

Kim took a moment to pull another piece of candy out of her pocket, unwrap it, and shove it into her mouth nervously, then she picked up her touch screen and started playing with it again.

Occasionally she would make a nervous glance Hayley's way, but it didn't seem like she was gonna be the one to break the ice.
