Annette had turned to busy herself with the supplies in a locked cabinet, taking out what she needed for a simple blood draw. She looked over her shoulder and nodded as he instructed her in what to do. "It may be wiser if you simply gave them a choice as you encountered them. I do not make a habit of socializing with others unless my research dictates me to do so." She explained cooly.

Nimm looked out the window to where shed seen the ship, looking back at Kain as he placed his hand on her knee. She jumped slightly, not use to the contact. "Um, its mainly spread through touch." She explained. "But it can become air borne if i have an attack. I cough up blood which Dr.Lafleur said is a bit more volatile."

Annette nodded to confirm, readying her supplies and walking over to Kain to draw a few vials of blood. "Once i draw these, I'll be heading to my research lab to start working on a cure. Theres a room of board members a floor below us. I suggest they be handled first. Research is one floor up. All patients on this floor are permanent residence, which was the hospitals way of saying they are guinea pigs, used to test treatments and such on." She instructed, taking his arm in a surprisingly gentle way and cleaning it. "The top five floors are researcher and lab. Where myself and a handful of other doctors work on ways to fix and treat...or weaponize a disease." She moved and cleanly stuck his arm, quickly drawing the blood she needed.

Nimm moved off her bed, putting the mask on to get use to it. The device fit snugly on her face, covering her nose, and mouth, and wrapping around her jaw and under her chin. It sealed on, creating a pocket of air for her to breath and ventilating it out when she inhaled and exhaled. It took a moment for to get use to the slower means of breathing, but it wasn't uncomfortable. She slipped her flats on and pulled on a sweater, ready to head out.

Risa looked up as she tied her hair back and smirked as he mentioned she was ready for some fun. It faded quickly though as she noticed the blood that had dried on his pale skin. "Migoto, are you alright?" She asked, turning fully to face him. "I was going to suggest sneaking in and taking the elevator up, now im starting to wonder if we should have you checked out a moment." She was genuinely concerned, handing him a handkerchief.

"Choice..." Kain thought allowed as Annette advised giving everyone a chance to ether do as instructed or die. He'd retract his hand as Nimm jumped, his face reflecting obvious sorrow. "Know this, Nimm: I, of all people, mean you no harm." He'd offer her a soft smile, then turn to Annette, listening intently as she gave him the layout.

"Nimm and I shall make our way downstairs. Do what you will with my blood; I've faith you'll be more than capable of producing what's needed. But, if there is a snag to be had...you know where to find me. Oh, and as a request, should either of you encounter the man that shot me, detain them. I feel I am in their debt."

And then he realized his clothes were in shreds. He was now left with his hood and mask, his shoes and pants. He'd sigh an look around, unsure of what to do. "Ironic that Nimm should be dressed and ready before me...I need a shirt. My scars are not for the general populous to see...any suggestions, ladies?"

Migoto took the handkerchief and smiled at her. He'd rise to his feet and move to the sink, looking himself over in the mirror. "Please don't worry, this is a consequence of using such an abundance of power for an extended period of time. I can assure you that it is not a common occurrence." He'd of wet the handkerchief and cleaned himself up while speaking.

"Vitamin C would do my body some good, but honestly that wasn't as much blood loss as I anticipated as a consequence of my actions. The brain needs to be exercised to be kept in top shape, and living on that damnable colony has provided me little room to build upon and expand my psychic horizons." He revealed.

Once he was cleaned up, he'd place the handkerchief in his pocket, assuming she didn't want the bloodied fabric back, then place his hands in his pockets. "I'm ready to take on the day if you are."

Annette raised a brow, bandaging his arm and looking around. "I very much doubt any of Nimms clothes would do you any favors. I could find you a spare scrub top or lab coat by chance, there's also an employee locker room you could grab something from." She pointed out. She cleaned up and took his sample over to the same tube system shed sent Nimms blood in early that day.

Nimm was standing at the door, looking up at the angry red light that indicated the lock on the door was active. "Dr.Lafleur, the chip in my wrist? It wont let me exit the room, I dont think itll let me move through the hospital." She pointed out.

Annette frowned, looking around. "I dont have what I need to deactivate here either..." she looked to Kain. "How did you get in here, by the way?" She asked, hoping it allowed two people to move about freely.

Risa smiled a little and nodded as he explained thete was no reason to worry. She stood, pulling a black jacket on and her boots. "Walking into the jospital shouldnt be an issue, moving up the floors is where it will get tricky. Our goal is the top research floor, and to get up as far as we can with out causing a scene. If we encounter anyone, non lethal takedowns to start, but if it cant be avoided, then do what you need to do. I'm bot keen on killing, but im not big on dying either." She explained.

She stretched and took a deep breath, she shifted her scales, disappearing from view a moment, leaving only her jacket and shoes visible. A moment later she was fully seen. She grabbed the room key and handed it to Migoto, smiling. "Hang on to this, i dont have pockets on this outfit." She joked, winking, and heading for the door.

Once out in the hall with him she lead the way out and toward the hospital.

Kain nodded in confirmation of where to find the apparel he sought...and he couldn't help but give a pleasant chuckle at the idea of stealing Nimm's clothes. When he was questioned as to how he'd arrived, he'd look to Annette and smile from behind his mask. "You've seen my power first hand. I use a personal pocket dimension in conjunction with telekinesis. It's not exactly an energy efficient way of travel, but it allows me to get from point A to any point I desire. Furthermore, it allows me to summon forth anything from my unlimited forge. Allow me to demonstrate."

The reality next to Kain would swirl and break, on the other side of the breach the same store Migoto and Risa had entered previously. He'd summon into his hand a variet of clothing, then pull his arm back and let the breach restore itself. He'd apply a black poet shirt to himself along with a large leather coat, both black in color. He'd fasten the coat shut, then wrap it in several belts. He'd look similar to how he'd appeared before, if not a little more stylish.

"Alright. This is where we part, for now. We know where to find one another, though perhaps finding a means to communicate long distances would be beneficial for the future. Dr. Lafleur, please work with haste and join us when you've completed your work." He'd then summon forth another breach, the door to the conference room on the other side. "Come, Nimm." He'd then hold his hand out to her. "Let's introduce you to those that have inflicted this Hell upon you."

((I made another sub-forum for the hospital, since we will have different things going on on different levels))

Migoto laughed. "I'm sure this will all go swimmingly. They will see what we want them to see, and if worse come to worst, we can rely on my power!" He'd offer a kind smile and take the room card into hand. He'd pocket it in his shirt and button it closed, then begin to follow Risa.

As they walked, Migoto snapped his fingers. "Oh yes, I should inform you of something!" He'd stop and point to Risa. "Your soul is a weapon, Risa. Using the energy that you, yourself consist, you can erect a barrier. This barrier, while temporary and of finite durability, may save your life someday. But it requires awakening through barbaric means. Should you wish to awaken this primal ability, just let me know!" He offered before resuming his march,

Annette watched like a hawk as the dimension opened and he pulled a shirt from it. She was very interested in this ability and its different applications. With a nod she looked to Nimm and offered a small smile. "Next we see each other, I hope to not be in this suit. If either of you have an emergency find a phone and Dial 9-444. It will connect you to the research lab. I will find a means for us to communicate in the meantime. Someone in tech owes me a favor." She pointed out and headed for the door.

Nimm blinked a moment and looked around. She felt oddly detached from the whole scenario. Shouldnt she feel sad about leaving? Or guilty at the means by which she was going to obtain her freedom? She looked at Kains offered hand. His bare skin. When was the last time she'd touched someone that wasnt covered in a contact suit. Or wearing gloves...

She reached out slowly, and cautiously took his hand, the action feeling foriegn to her, and raising goosebumps along her skin. He'd feel a trembling of her hand she wasnt sure was caused by nerves or excitement. "Kay, Im ready to go." She said, moving to follow him.

Risa paused, looking at Migoto curiously. "My soul?" She looked down at herself, a bit confused. "Mmm, i think that may depend on these 'barbaric means' would be, but im up for listening if you want to explain a bit more." She suggested, continuing up to the hospital door

Migoto blinked, then looked down at his hands. "I cannot demonstrate it without being in danger, or under extreme duress. Well, that is a lie; do to my psychic powers I am able to activate it at will...I suppose I can give you a glimpse." He simply held out his hand to the side, materializing and ethereal violet and azure shield that shimmered and glowed. "The theory behind this, the Absolute Terror Field, is fascinating in my opinion, but I have renamed this the Personal Sanctuary Yield. PSY Barrier for short! The barrier's color and durability are determined by one's soul. The more one is true to themselves and the more willpower they possess, the stronger it is! And..." The shield would then shift into an elaborate snowflake pattern. "The more it can be manipulated."

He'd dismiss his PSY Barrier and place his hands back in his pockets. "To awaken it, I must delve into your psyche and extract a fear of significant worth, make it a reality, and force you to overcome it. In doing so, it will awaken within you. Anyone is capable of this; when you hear stories of someone suddenly repelling an attacker under duress or performing other supernatural feats while facing a threat, it is their awakening." e explained.

Risa watched, mesmerized by the shield and his ability to form it so quickly. It wasn't something you saw everyday to be sure. "That is pretty amazing, actually." She pointed out, more about his ability then the information he'd shared, though she found it all very interesting. The idea of someone delving into her mind though was a bit off putting. "Its definitely something i would have to think about. Not that I don't trust you, but the idea of anyone being in my head is a bit...well, I don't like the idea. I already had my body messed with without my say so, I'd like to think my mind is still untouched and still my own." She tried to explain, not wanting to offend him.

"Out of curiosity, what happens if someone doesnt over come the fear that you make a reality?" She asked, crossing her arms loosely and waiting just outside the gate to the hospital.

Migoto sighed. "If someone fails, then their soul is torn apart.At that point they either become a husk; a thin shadow of their former self. That...or they die an agonizing death" He'd then offer a kind smile. "But these are extremely rare occurrences. I highly doubt you would succumb to such a fate."

He look towards the hospital, pressing is hand to the gate. "So many mental cries of anguish...so much pain and suffering...so many voices calling out 'Why?' and...wait..." Migoto's brow's furrowed and he looked like he was in slight duress. "Why can't I hear your thoughts...there's someone in there not accessible by my power. That bothers me....they're on the first floor." He revealed.

Risa turned to look at the hospital, eyes scanning the first floor windows and noticing a set of closed windows while the rest were open. "There, thats a bit out of place." She pointed out. She shifted and slipped her jacket and shoes off, leaving them under a manicured shrubbery by the gate. "We can stay away from that section. Or do you think itll be an issue if you get to close?" She asked, walking back up to the gate and pushing it open. "You can wait out here if you want. I'll understand." She smiled.

"Don't be silly." Migoto responded with an honest smile. Hands still in his pockets, he'd follow close behind her. "Oh yes, the stealth aspect of our mission. I'd nearly forgotten." He'd raise one hand in the air and snap his fingers loudly, then vanish. At least to everyone but Risa. "It's best we communicate through my psychic link." He thought to her. "Time to see what we can do my roguish friend!"

Risa smiled and nodded, actually relieved he was coming along. Her scales moved and she was invisible in seconds. She slipped inside the door of the hospital with him and looked around. It was eerily empty and quiet. "Thats weird...this is a hospital...wheres the patients and staff?" She thought, hoping that was all she had to do for Migoto to hear her. The waiting rooms were empty, and there was no one at the desk that checked patients in. She moved forward, her barefeet quiet on the cold stone floor. She paused and looked down a long hallway, lined with photos of the hospitals founders, boards members and donators. At the end of the hall was a set of large wooden doors, and a puddle of blood leaking from under the doors. This was the room with the closed windows from outside. "Something went down...we need to move fast." She reached out to take Migotos hand and pulled him with her toward the stairs. "The elevator will make noise and attract attention. We can go up a ways and take the elevator from up there, but i dont want whoever's in that room to come out looking for the source of the noise."

Migoto seemed to go into a bit of a trance upon seeing the large wooden doors with the blood pooling out from beneath them. Part of him was entirely too intrigued to see what was behind them, but even as he took a step towards them, he found himself being pulled in the direction of the stairs. Snapping out of the trance, he'd begin his trek up the stairs, though soon the broadcast would begin.

Once it was over and Dethblade, along with this apparent Nimm had spoken, Migoto would sigh. "Well now I suppose we have a better idea of what's transpired here, though I'm not thrilled to be sharing occupancy of a building with Dethblade. I wonder who this Nimm individual he's conspiring with is?" He thought to Risa, still following her lead.

Risa would pause mid step, listening to the broadcast, her scales would shift again, leaving her visible once more as they waited til the end, Risa frowning a bit. "Someone was gifted a silver tongue...I have a feeling our job just got a lot harder." She looked to Migoto and pointed upward. "Lets keep moving. The sooner we grab that stuff, the better. I suddenly have a not so great feeling about all of this." She started back up stairs, fully invisible again by her second step upward.

"Risa...wait a moment." Migoto stopped moving, keeping alight grip on her hand. "Let me provide you a bit of aid." He'd close his eyes and sigh, knowing what was about to happen to him. "Once he opened his eyes, she'd see them as pink vortexes, swirling and hypnotizing to a degree. As she led them floor by floor, he'd send out a psychic wave similar to the one in the store, but on a much grander scale. Every time he did, he'd whisper the phrase "Slumber in the Aether" before moving on. Each person on that floor would fall not asleep, but into a trance in which time would stand completely still for them, effectively numbing their five senses. A powerful skill, one that would surely take a toll being used over and over. The only ones immune to his Aether Slumber spell were those of incredibly high constitution, those whom could not have their senses affected, and Dethblade for a fun variety of reasons, unknown to him. It was likely Nimm would feel a numbing, but remain lucid, whereas Dethblade would simply be alerted.

Risa stopped, turning to look over her shoulder as Migoto asked her to stop. She watched he focused and was a bit struck by the change in his eyes. She quickly closed hers, having a feeling she'd want to just stare at him if she looked too long at the swirling pupils. She glanced out a doorway window, noticing people standing stalk still as he chanted over and over. "That's a big help. Try not to over do it though." She requested, remembering the blood from earlier. She led him up further, stopping only once the stairs didnt go any further up. She peeked out of the doors window before opening it and pulling him through with her onto the floor, closing the door quietly behind her. Migotos abilities or not, she was airing on the side of caution.

"We have to take the elevators up from here. The next floor up is long term care patients, the floors after that are research." She explained, moving quickly toward the elevator, he bare feet silent on the floor. She stepped on the elevator and looked at the keypad, scowling a moment. "We need a security badge to go up higher.
