Someone has set a campfire up closest to the outside of the hospital. It attracts a straggling amount of undying, but nothing too serious. Some survivors have settled in together, though occasionally when you blink, they look like infected instead. Best not to stare too hard, or hope they come for you next.
Having made his way back outside of the hospital, Scott shivers as he wraps his arms around himself in an attempt to keep warm. The sweat that seemed to be in an endless supply worsened the chill of the air and he had to fight to keep his teeth from chattering against each other. On top of the cold, he still felt nauseous... and that made him weak. His body seemed to rebel against itself, as though he were... infected...
Scott shook the thought from his mind. No way. It had to be something else. The fog, or, maybe... the fog...? Scott blinks when he sees a light flickering not too far away from the hospital's entrance. A few survivors stood around a fire, staring blankly in its depths as they utilized its warmth. Scott moves closer to the small group, extending out his hands once he'd made it close enough and relishing the warmth that started at his fingers then spread through to his palms, his wrists, his forearms... he closes his eyes, then his fingers curl themselves into fists and he drops them by his side. "I ********' hate this." He murmurs to no one in particular.

Just as he murmurs the words, a chill runs up his spine; causing his entire body to tense. He can feel eyes boring into the back of his head, so he turns; only to be confronted by... himself? Scott squints at the shadow and it gives him a large, predator-like grin. It's voice sounds like his but... creepier, somehow. More cruel.
"Take out your knife, Scott." It says, the whole of it's semi-transparent body shivering in what Scott could only assume was pleasure. "I wanna see you bleed." His shadow-self laughs, taking a step closer to Scott just as the youth pulls out his knife; hand trembling. The shadow pulls out a knife, too. "Maybe, once I've killed you, I'll bring you back to that casino... they'll know just what to do with your body. Or maybe I could just maim you a bit... send you back to them alive. I hear they like their meat fresh..."
Scott lunges at the thing while it laughs, slicing his knife through the air. It lets out a shriek as the knife comes into contact with its chest; cutting a dark line across it. Scott, too, yells when the same wound appears on his own chest. The shadow laughs.
"Your blood smells tasty, Scott... I'm sure the casino attendants will really appreciate that..."

Having ran from the fire, Kelly was hesitant to approach the next one. She was slow to walk to the group, and still her arms itched as she heard voices. The day felt endless, and she wondered exactly what she needed to do to take care of whatever was happening to her body. Was she going crazy? Or was she infected?
Kelly joined the group and quickly looked past the randoms to see Scott, her eyes looking over his uniform as she felt a bit more confident. He had to be real...right? Glancing back to the others, she thought they looked infected, but her blink made them seem to go back to normal.
"Hello..." She said slowly, her eyes back on Scott again as she studied him for a long moment. He didn't look like he was doing too well, with his chattering teeth and glistening face. Did he have a fever? Why was he even outside?
Before she could really approach him, a sound came from the shadows around them. She glanced about and saw what looked to be another Scott, this one more like a shadow. Her brow furrowed a long moment, before pulled out her candles and made to strike.

Matilda had found her way outside. The stifling air inside only seemed to push her nausea further. Hopefully, she would be able to clear her head and cool her body in the process.
All thoughts of rest flew out the window as she neared a campfire. The crowd around the campfire seemed to warp and shift in her vision, but the figures that caught her attention were a pair of people fighting...
"Scott?"
No, the insane grin on its face didn't look anything like the Scott she knew. Taking a closer look, the real one was one of the people facing off against it.
Brandishing her knife, Matilda dug into the doppelganger's side. "I won't let you!," she cried. She refused to let someone else succumb to their nightmares.

"Matilda?" Scott watches as the teacher digs her knife into his shadow-self's side. He hadn't seen her since right before the chaotic escape of the casino, and he was happy to find her alive still- though she looked just about as worse off as he was.
The shadow thing turns it's attention to her, obviously distracted by the knife that was protruding from his rib cage. Scott takes this time to advance, stabbing the thing in its shoulder and grimacing in pain as the same wound appears on his own self. "Whatever wounds you make on it, appear on you, too..." He warns the two others, pulling his knife out and taking a few quick steps back; nursing his wounded shoulder. Hopefully, they'd be able to take it out quick. The cut on his chest and the puncture on his shoulder ached in agreement.

Kelly grunted, feeling the burns on her body well before the warning from Scott. She eyed them both before rushing in, and as her candle hit the creature, it seemed to erupt into a flame before it was blown away. Gasping, she stepped back.
"Well...that was creepy..." She mumbled, turning back to the others, "Everyone okay?"

"I already fought a nightmare of my own before arriving here, but thank you for the sentiment. They're nasty creatures that like to mess with you, to be sure," she have a solemn nod towards Scott as the other woman of the pair finished the enemy off. Shrieks seemed to intermingle with the crackling being emitted as it began to lose its shape.
Matilda stood panting as she glanced at the remaining wisps of the not-Scott. Seeing a small object in the remains, Matilda managed to fish out a small card holding a six. "Yes... it looks like the injuries are manageable," she pocketed the card and glanced down at the new hole in her side, one which was trickling a tiny bit of blood.
"From what I've been able to gather, it seems like those... things... are probably nightmares come to life through our own self-conscious. The one I fought seemed to know things no one else knew. Was it the same for you, Scott?," she asked, finding a seat near the campfire, but not too close to the other, albeit unmoving, partakers that continued to waver in form. they might just be more apparitions of their imagination, but there was no sense risking herself if they actually were infected.

Scott gives a light shrug in response to Matilda's questioning, tentatively removing his hand from the place at his shoulder where he'd been 'stabbed'. Due to the pressure he'd been applying to it, the wound trickled only a small amount of blood; adding to the stains that already were riddled across the sweater he wore. "Mostly it was just threatening me." He says; nothing like his earlier doppleganger hallucinations. Though this one, apparently, hadn't been a hallucination- seeing as both Kelly and Matilda had witnessed and fought against it. "It was pretty sadistic. It was saying it would drag me back to the casino and let those sick ******** have their way with me..." Scott shivers at the thought of having to go back there; then he wraps his own arms around himself- gazing deeply into the fire and feeling a hatred swirl in his gut as he thought back to the casino. He doesn't bother to take a seat. Instead, he stands dutifully by Matilda.
When he notices something on the ground at his feet, Scott frowns and leans forward; grabbing up the playing card and examining it for a second before stowing it away among his other things. He glances over at the blonde-haired woman. "I'm Scott, by the way..." He murmurs. "Thanks for your help..."

Kelly kept her eyes on the fire for a long moment, before noticing the card that was left. She grabbed it as well, handling it as if it were about to disappear. When it didn't, she put it in the dingy bag on her hip, before looking at them both yet again.
"I'm Kelly. Us Unis need to stick together...I wouldn't just leave you to fight alone" She said slowly, her face pale as she realized what the creature was saying, "And no one is going back to that hell."

"I'm Matilda, a pleasure to make your acquaintance," the woman stared up at the darker haired woman, Kelly, with a faint smile.
Her expression hardened as Scott recounted what his own shadow had done. Letting her gaze fall to the flames once more, the light of the fire danced merrily before her. As if mocking their plight.
"Haven't we already gone through enough? Why must we be forced through these trials and tribulations every day when it's hard enough just to find food and water to survive?," Matilda spat as the fire crackled before her gaze.
She was angry... she was frustrated. Their situation only seemed to go from bad to worse. When would they begin to see a positive change?

At the mention of Kelly wanting their faction to stick together, Scott gives a small frown. "I wonder where everyone else is... you two are the first of our faction I've seen since the casino..." He runs a hand through his hair, then rakes his nails down the side of his face. The sweat from earlier had died down and he no longer felt nauseous, but his skin still itched and he felt as though his anger could overtake him at any moment. Thinking of this, he glances at Kelly and then at Matilda. Maybe he was better off alone. If he got too angry, he didn't know what he was capable of... and he certainly didn't want to hurt either of them.
A feeling of hate flares in his gut after Matilda is done speaking. He lets himself sink down onto the seat next to her instead of bothering to try and keep himself upright any longer. He rests his elbows on his knees, lets his head fall forward into his hands. "Maybe we're in hell. Maybe we've died and this is... this is what had been awaiting us..."

"That's actually a very good question. I saw someone else... Rinko, I believe... earlier, but I don't know where she is now. Probably still inside the hospital. We can only hope that everyone else made it out of the casino safely, too." She hoped with every fiber of her being that everyone made it out, which another part of her hoped they managed to find somewhere safer than their location.
Matilda grimaced, not being able to deny Scott's explanation. She felt like she was still alive and she hadn't remembered any moment where she felt like she was dying... but how much of what she saw and felt could be believed? She was already seeing things in the fog and her fears were coming to life. Things that normally wouldn't happen, had she been alive, where happening.
"This can't be the end... it just can't be," Matilda whispered to the fire with a pained expression, wanting to vehemently deny the possibility.

Kelly smiled at Matilda, and took a moment to study the girl in order to attach a name to a face. As the girl began to get frustrated, Kelly felt herself show some empathy. She too was frustrated, angry, and just wondering how long they could keep fighting. When would it become too much?
"I've seen a few others..." She voiced toward Scott, "Three others, we were around a campfire, and got attacked by something big..."
Running a hand over her itching arms, she shook her head, "It caused us to get separated since we needed to run, but there are others out there..." She didn't voice it, but she was still uncertain if they were true. Sometimes, she heard their voices, and sometimes she felt so alone.
