Transfusions

Built with a generous grant from one of the University's benefactors, this clinic serves as a small teaching hospital as well. More severe injuries are stabilized, then transported to Muir Island. It also houses the University's research laboratories.

Transfusions

Postby Miriam Bell » Tue Jul 31, 2018 3:28 am

After a humiliating ride back tot he University, Miriam ends up at the medical center, although there is technically nothing medically amiss. Aside from lack of a pulse or breathing or any other signs of life she's quite healthy, much to the chagrin of the staff. She's also in a weird mood, which manifests itself in typical Miriam manner, although it got a little better now that she has a blood bag she's drinking like a bloody Capri Sun. She stopped hissing at the nurse at least who decided to avoid going in the room just in case anyway.

"We've got her locked down finally, I'm told." Sam says as she makes her way in. She's got a bandage on her arm now.

"I still don't know quite how to break it to Will."

"Suppose you really shouldn't have to anyway... I really just tried to hel--" she starts before stopping herself. "No. I wasn't. I missed Will and didn't want to be lonely..." she admits to herself as much as Sam, avoiding eye contact. For whatever that's good for between two telepaths.

Miriam is quiet for a moment as she actively fights back a series of biting remarks that are the first thing that comes to her mind. She even takes a deep breath, which briefly breaks the strange stillness of her body.

"I know you're neurotic about a lot of things, but are you really contemplating asking me for advice?"

Miriam bursts out laughing. It's a little bit hysterical, the tension and emotional exhaustion spilling over.

"Oh. My. God. That is hilarious. You were surprised by that?"

"I..." she starts and trails off, staring at the mostly empty bag of blood in her hand.

"Everybody leaves me. No matter what I try, I always screw it up somehow. The only ones who ever try to reach back out to me are the fucked up assholes. Trinity, Alessia, that bloody funhouse mirror version of me in Will's head. There's just... something broken inside of me and my power sends it out there like a fucking beacon. Everything I touch just turns to ash!" she bursts out, throwing the bloody plastic bag at the small window in the door, leaving behind a blood splatter.

"And like some kind of cruel joke now I need people more than ever or my brain shrivels up into a ravenous monster..." her rage breaks as quickly as it came and instead she's fighting back tears.

"So this time you decided you'd be the one to leave before we got the chance," she says, the realization dawning.

"Damn it Miriam, we're all a bit broken, but at least together we have a chance at making sense."

"I don't give a damn about the head-mistress." she snaps a little. It's easy, almost comfortable, to slip into butting heads with Sam.

"I'm not saying you have no problems. You just... make handling them look easy. And you have Tereza and Will."

Miriam winces at the mention of Wanda, glancing at Sam before turning her eyes down at her hands again.
