Simon

Thank you. I'll stay near the computer if you need anything at all.

I hope so... —S

Just humor an old hounds request and keep me in mind, alright?

Oh dear... please, keep in touch, I'm worried for you.

They say now that it isn't safe, that the crew won't make it past the doors. Gracious, I hope I'm just paranoid... —S

Why not..?

Truthfully, I'm hoping I'm wrong and being pranked. I'd much rather not find some poor soul being kept in an abandoned hospital.

I appreciate that you're willing to ease my concerns, though, it means a lot. —S

Do you think he would let other people come in to look around?

That's... I can't imagine why, all hospitals have the same requirements for operation.

I don't think so... I can't imagine they'd open a chat room just to prank some old hound.

Says there's a doctor who cares for him, and a doctor he hasn't seen in a while. Doesn't mention any nurses.

Claims the main hospital isn't trained for whatever they're sick with, and isn't told what it is.

I... I just don't understand how this could be possible. That area already has a new and fully functional hospital, why wouldn't they transfer you?

They say they're a patient at the hospital, the doctor is having to reuse IV bags, and while there is power there's no heating.

I'm wildly concerned, because this doesn't feel like a prank. Too complex. —S

I'm certainly not doubting your accounts, but I am alarmed. All official records say it's abandoned.

@zone1culpa.bsky.social Question. Where is Serenity Hospital and how do we get there?

There's someone online saying they've been there their whole life??

Well, I'm certainly not leaving now. They're keeping you in an abandoned hospital??

Goodness.

.

..

...

No, Serenity can't be right... its been closed, hell, abandoned, for centuries.

............ no help necessary but there's no heating.

Do you know what hospital you're in, specifically?

"The Doctor" and "the doctor" are different people?

I'd say it is best to speak up sooner than later. If nothing improves, I'm sure I could help. Supplies, nurses, shit, even money if they just need funds. Once we go our separate ways, keep me in mind, okay?

Hm. It sounds more like you aren't eating enough and the IV is keeping you sustained...

...

I am quite concerned for your well being. This hospital sounds woefully understaffed if only the doctor is caring for you, and struggling to do so.

Ah, hm... strange. And it's somewhat alarming that they would reuse an IV bag at all.

...

Are you being fed as well? Or do you just receive the IV?

Perhaps not, but it feels rude to not introduce myself. Call me old school.

Of course, fire away! I hope I'm able to help you identify it, you deserve answers. —S

Hm... I suppose there isn't much I can do to help, but... if you need company and have questions, I am certainly available.

The name's Simon, if there isn't some form of a username. —S

I suppose so, I just logged on the other day.

And that is admittedly abnormal. Anything medical should be shared with the patient unless they are a child. And though we haven't met, I am quite certain you're an adult.

That sounds rather concerning. If you don't mind me asking, are the staff withholding information from you? —S

If you need a break, send them over! You know I love spending time with all three of them, all I need is a heads up.

This definitely makes that process easier, haha! —S

Aaaah whatever! I'm fine.

And I'll give it an hour, I'm sure one of them will swing by before long. —S

Hey, I'm very cooperative when they check me over! It's not my fault that pain tends to be an enigma.

But ah, no, I'm all by my lonesome at the moment. That's good to know! —S

I'm fit as a fiddle, don't you worry about me. Nothing's going to slow me down.

And the old computer should be just fine until someone uses the phone. I'll take good care of it! —S

That's the plan every day! Haha! —S

Oooh, I see! I'll get used to it. Thanks! —S
