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.

Elijah Mikaelson | OTA

[internalizing]

Waking in unfamiliar surroundings was hardly new to him, although the fact of this one being a hospital was more than a little unsettling. Elijah left the room as soon as the video finished playing, tucking the device into a pocket as he moved through the hallways, stopping the occasional nurse for a conversation.

That led nowhere.

Eventually, he found his way to the common room, taking in the refreshments before moving to find a seat after reading over the available information before he took a seat on one of the couches. If anyone he knew was present, they would eventually make their way here.

Or he'd hear the screams in at least one case.

Allison has finally decided to touch the refreshments. She grabs an orange and sits in the nearest place she sees, which is a couch ... the same one Elijah is sitting on. She has her communications device on her lap as she peels the orange. Eventually, she looks over at Elijah. "Want half an orange?" She asks, now that she's almost got it completely peeled.

[internalizing]

He'd been watching her out of the corner of his eye since she'd settled, even if his focus had seemingly been on the brochures.

"I had something earlier, but thank you." It was more or less true, anyway.

She nods in a reply to that, and pulls off a section of the orange, biting into it.

"I'm Allison Argent, hi." She introduces herself once she's swallowed the bit of orange she'd been chewing, then tosses the orange skin peelings into a trash can by the couch.

"Elijah Mikaelson." He sets the pamphlet in his lap to one side before picking up another one.

"Have you been outside yet?"

[arrowsofsilver]

"No, I was trying to make myself familiar with the map on the device first. Getting lost isn't anything I'm looking forward to doing here." Not to mention it would be stupid and embarrassing for her to do so. "Have you seen any of the outside yet?"
