Send following text message to Kri's cellphone:

I'm gonna go out to eat tonight at 19:30. Someplace called [name of burger joint] at [address]. If you wanted to discuss things, this would seem like a good time and place. Let me know if you'll make it, and if you want to bring other... Dreamers with you, don't hesitate.

Rico.

((I guess I'll just put Rico 'on hold' until Kri has caught up with me and can receive my message, ok?))

Roger that. Entering stasis.

I'm fully trained and was licensed and employed at a local hospital, but I've been out of work for the last several years, due to family issues.

Continue conversing

"Listen, you need to go turn yourself into the police right now." The man on the other end tells you. He sounds extremely serious.

"Why?"

"Because you're going to go just as crazy as the rest of the doctors. Everyone we have down here is a medical student or a nurse or EMT.  No one with in depth medical training stays sane. I've seen three doctors go from good natured and helpful to homicidal today; the last one less then an hour ago. It's going to happen to you too. You need to get somewhere where you won't hurt anyone when it does. "

(Name) sighs a little.
All right. Call me if you end up needing me; the number's (cell number here).
He heads back out to the lobby and ponders potential courses of action.

((Sorry, fell asleep.))

I'm just gonna point out that you haven't actually tried to convince this guy or persuade him. You've just been talking so no rolls have been happening.


Well, as you see it, there are several options.

You could do what you originally planned to do and just get the hell out of town. You're not sure if that would actually help or what the hell is actually out there...but it's something.

You could try and find someone in the city to hole up in the city; with the national guard coming it might not be so bad. Or it might be worse then ever. Hard to say. Though, if the Guard were here, you might be able to hijack an APC and fuck if rioters or nutters are gonna break into that...this is a dangerous sort of path for your mind to wander down...

You could just go home and hope it blows over...

You could try and convince the chief to let you help...


Hmm.

Sam texts the number he was given by the... odd man.

Very well, I will admit, it's beyond any description of normal.

The guards never came back. I left when I heard the police firing shots.

You pull out your cellphone and text the strange man. Hopefully he'll get back to you sometimes soon.









(Yeah, I think the game is gonna need to be sped up for the next days. Lets shoot for a week till the end. Maybe 10 days. Depending .)

[Xantalos]

...know what? Fuck that, I want to do something good before I die.

Head back in thar and convince the chief to let me help. Maybe I can talk to one of the crazy doctors to see what happened?

Well that seems a good idea:
Doctor: "I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT SHINING AND WITH IT, THE DARKNESS SHOWS."
Xan: "hmmm, yes, yes I can see where you are coming from, now, what do you think started this?"
"THE UGLY VESTIGES OF HUMANITY ARE NOW ALL SO CLEAR TO ME, AND I PLAN TO DESTROY THEM."
"now that's what I want to hear! anything else?"

[Xantalos]

((I shall apply the Dr. House treatment. That involves beating people up, right?))

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

I in kink that involved inadvertently being a dick while nearly fainting at the sight of blood and everyone going "now look, I know I'm not qualified at all to be a doctor in any way, but I'm going to be a bigger dick than you and constantly argue about what is completely true."

[Radio Controlled]

Enjoy stasis.

((PW, could you please inform me and Kri when our timelines are synced-up?))

[Kriellya]

(( Right then.

So, PW, if you don't mind, I'm going to 'desync' a bit, in order to help you speed things up
Oh, wait, we're not that far off. Conceivably, I could be said to have received Pyro's message during this call. Excellent! This provides me with excellent justification for the sort of time bending I'm about to do.))

... That sounds... bad. Almost worse than what I suspected, seeing the world news today. You know of no one who hasn't? None of your people with medical training are still sane?
Thomas pauses for a moment to look when his phone pings about a message. Another unknown number, perhaps the doctor I met earlier? Hm... I'll call him after this. He'll need to know.
Alright, say I agree to come in. Assuming I haven't lost it by the time I arrive... can you use me? I'm... I'm not sure I can convince you of this, but I don't think I'll go like the others. I can get myself somewhere isolated on my own, but I want to help with this if I can. Provide medical aid to your people, and civilians you're protecting. Is there any way you can let me do that, as long as I'm still sane? Take whatever precautions you'd like, but I'd like to help.

While he waits for a response, he checks the message he just received and writes down the number it came from, then sends a response.

It seems to get worse. If you've checked the papers, this isn't localized. It's happening everywhere.

I'm on the phone with the police now. They say everyone with medical training has lost it, and are expecting any medical professional that hasn't to follow suit. They're asking me to come in immediately, so they can detain me for the inevitable.

I'm planning to go in. To try and help them, if they'll let me. If you don't hear from me again, that's where I'll be.

I met another Dreamer as well. His number is *RC's cell here*, if you'd like to meet him. I don't know his story yet, but he saw something happen.

Continue conversations

-------------------

(( Okay, now here's the time-bendy bit. This conversation can't resolve until PW posts, but 1) I don't expect it to resolve in a way that immediately restricts my communications and 2) I'm planning not to leave the library immediately anyway. So I'm going to assume that I receive RC's message while I'm still at the library. ))

Good, I'll see you there. A Dreamer I met at the hospital contacted me a bit earlier, I gave him your cell. His is *insert Pyro's cell here*

I'll tell you what I just told him, though. I got in contact with the police. They say everyone with advanced medical training has lost it or is going to lose it.

As a warning to you, both me and the other Dreamer have medical training. Take that as you will.

[Radio Controlled]

Kill time with watching television until it's time to leave for that burger place. Wait at entrance for other people.

((PW, I'll just repeat this action until we are synced up again and ready for dinner.))

[Nunzillor]

Can I ask what the status of this game is?

[Xantalos]

((Status PYRO))

[piecewise]

Can I ask what the status of this game is?

Meandering toward something more interesting.

[Radio Controlled]

I think we should just go ahead, Pyro said in ER that his interweb connection will probably be bad for a while, and I'd like to see this game go somewhere before the next geomagnetic reversal.

[PyroDesu]

((If my power company is the devil, then I spoke of them: Back, far earlier than expected.))

Richard texts this new number.

You've had contact with a man claiming the world is coming to an end?
