OOC: SCENARIO 2
Scenario requirements: A phone begins to ring as you wander the inside of the hospital. At first you do not want to pick it up, but the noise persists. You wander multiple rooms, and there are multiple phones. Each one you pick is a voice from a person you recognize, begging you for help. Whenever you ask where they are, they hang up. The ringing continues, over and over. If you are RPing this with multiple people, all of you hear the ringing, coming from various phones. It is up to you when your character comes to the realization that the ringing is all in their heads, (or if they need other chars to help them realize so!)
When the event is over, add +10 infection to your character's infection meter

Extra effect: N/A
As she entered the building, Maria began to feel anger rage through her body. Her face began to sweat, and she felt sick to her stomach from how pathetic she felt. This was all wrong, and the anger that had built up from the past few weeks was about to boil over. The voices were beginning to disappear, but the faces still surrounded her, taunted her, and forced her to remember how trapped she was.
She wanted to scream.
Instead, she just continued to move, scratching and sweating as she explored the interior of her cage. Or was it a cell. Everything felt like a trap these days.
As if to taunt her even more, Maria began to hear a new noise along with the whispers.
Ringing, like a phone, began to fill the house. Maria felt hope for the first time since she came out of the fog. If there was a phone, it meant there was contact to the outside world. Maybe she could phone the police for help? Maybe she could phone her family and ensure they were alive? Maybe she could just dial randomly until someone picked up. As she chased after the ringing, she found a room with a phone sitting at a desk.
"Hello?!" She cried out, picking up the phone with shaking hands, "Hello, can you hear me?"
"M-Maria?"
It was her mother. Maria let out a sobbing breath, hands shaking and unable to speak.
"Maria? Please...I need your help. Maria...they...I need help...please...Maria..."
"Mom? MOM! Where are you? Mom? Tell me where you-"
Click. The line went dead. Maria hung up the phone and lifted it again, but there wasn't even a dial tone. Gaping, she just looked at the phone for a long moment, before ringing began again.
Spinning on her heel, she raced out of the room and down the hall, searching until she found another phone on a desk, "Yes?!"
This time is was the psychologist, "Maria...you need to help me. Please come and help me...please..."
"Doctor? Where are you-" Another click. Another dead phone.
This seemingly went on for hours. Maria would race to a room, answer the phone, and try to find out where the person was. The phone would go dead, and she'd do it all over again. After what felt like the 40th call, Maria slumped to the ground. It had been her grandmother, who was dead.
"What is even happening to me?" She murmured out, as the ringing continued again.
Rubbing her ears, she suddenly began to question if there even was ringing. It had to be in her head. Just like the voices, and the faces, this had to be some sick joke. Scratching her arms and wiping her sweat, she thumped her head back against the wall and let out a long groan.
