Shine on forever, shine on benevolent sun...

Who: Mercy ([personal profile] caduceusoncall) and OPEN!
What: Research, exploration, and the rarest of rare situations: relaxing!
When: IC dates April 22nd-30th
Where: All around the station and annex!
Warnings: Medical talk may come up!



All days: Station
[It doesn't take Angela long to settle into an "on duty" vibe. It's probably getting to be common knowledge that you can call her Mercy or Angela, since she's informed everyone she knows of her on-duty name and introduced herself to new people as "Angela. Mercy, if you prefer." So feel free to call her one, the other, both, neither - whatever strikes your fancy.]

[In the mornings, starting promptly at 8am, the door to room 17 slides open and remains that way until she leaves for the medical bay. Anyone passing by will notice that the apartment is remarkably clean and organized, except for the desk, which is covered in stacks of books. The woman inside is dressed in a lab coat, sometimes with casual clothing underneath and sometimes with a wingless Valykrie suit. It seems the open door is an invite to bother her with any questions, concerns, or problems you may have, as she's just milling about over books and notes and exploring the functions of the computer otherwise.]

[You can find her every afternoon in the medical bay, seated at a small desk, furiously taking notes from a stack of what appear to be medical and magical textbooks. She may seem totally engrossed, but anyone entering the med bay receives a similar pitch, shot over her shoulder without looking: "I will be with you shortly. Have a seat, unless it is urgent."]


22nd-24th: Station
[During the evenings, she can be found in the common room, reviewing her notes over a cup of black coffee. She smiles politely at anyone who passes close enough, looking equal parts tired and content. If she's in a hurry to leave this world and go home, she certainly doesn't show it.]

25-27th: Annex
[Certain evenings, instead of returning to the common room, Mercy heads out to the annex. She focuses her time in the library, becoming very well acquainted with the material there. If she's not among the shelves, she's in the center room lounge area with a stack of books at her side. She keeps taking out about 5 at a time, furiously transcribing the pertinent passages and taking notes, and then going back for another 5. Somebody explain the concept of a break to this woman, please.]

28th: Station
[Those late nights seem to have gotten to the good doctor, because she finally takes the evening of the 28th to just sit outside on the viewing deck and relax. No books, no lab coat, no notes. Just Angela Ziegler - Mercy, if you prefer - in a deck chair, eyes half-lidded as she stares out at the setting sun.]

[Disturb her > y/n?]


29th-30th: Wildcard
[The rest of the evenings, it's a crapshoot as to where you'll find her. Anywhere on the station or the annex is fair game. Her schedule is rigid during the daytime, but when the sun begins to set it seems she's just prone to wandering around and settling in various places. Just specify where you found her and when, or shoot me a pm here or on plurk ([plurk.com profile] azazelbunny) for a prompt!]
nojohnyouare: Looking to the side. (to say it to you)

Ardyn. Yuuri. Junpei. Arianna. A girl named Fukawa Touko. Heart. ...Though he's not organic. We all arrived at once.
nojohnyouare: Talking. (what i've become)

We're not. But we were taken to another world before. And injected before everything started.
nojohnyouare: Hands clasped like in prayer. (we are one and the same)

...A long and complicated story. But... It has to do with the sign. "11 weeks of no murder."
nojohnyouare: Contemplating. (some kind of resolution)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-13 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Not for most. Our situation... Unique.

...Maybe not unique. Since there were four groups of us. And now the mall group in this station.
nojohnyouare: Sitting on the steps with her sword. (okay okay okay okay okay)

...A small group of us awoke in a reality show mansion with memory loss. We were told we were to find love and entertain viewing audiences. But it was part of the "Champion Excellence Program." Something we were told was just a story. We were made to kill each other to try and escape. The resulting murders and investigations to prove who did it and prevent them from leaving the rest to die...

[A hand goes to Mai's scarred throat.]

It really was televised. But as part of Airlocked!, an experiment with secret new technology that took people from alternate worlds, digitized their minds to live in simulations after death, and repaired their bodies after the trials. It was filmed and sold to aliens as fiction. Four groups went through this. Then they captured the survivors. Season five.

But they saved us in the end.

...[Mai shakes her head slowly.]

We're recovering. She won't hurt anyone anymore. There's another group here that went through something similar. A different mastermind and a different goal. And they made it out, too.

...Thank you. It's still strange. Talking about this to people. Sorry.
nojohnyouare: Opening a door. (mayday mayday)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-05-15 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mai's eyes widen a little. She blinks and nods.]

Thank you. ...Difficult. But it's common knowledge there now. I'm used to it. You're right. The robots... Nice. If strange. But we're strange, too.

Everyone seems nice like that. Even the ones with reason to dislike each other.
