All By Myself....(Open)

[Deleted]

Oriel poked the itty-bitty cup that contained two pale colored pills, one large and white, the other small, round, and blue. His eyes narrowed as he contemplated whether or not he reaaaaallly needed to take them like the bitch-nurses said he did(especially that shifty eyed one) or if he could ride out the day without taking them. The pain wasn't even that bad anymore, at least he didn't think so. But the last dose was supposedly going to wear off in the next hour or so....and was it really worth it, he asked himself? Worth making a complete fool of himself to whomever decided to come in? The nurses he didn't care, he still growled at them regardless, but.....Oriel had a very vague memory of having visitors the day before. One of which was Phoenix, he was sure of that, though he was a little fuzzy on the details of their conversation. The other was...if he wasn't mistaken, then the stupid Cheng twins had come in and gotten a good loong video of Oriel acting like a completely different kind of ass than he usually was.

He was going to have to kill them later. Yup. Those twins were dead. D-E-D, Ded.

Oriel leaned back, laying his head upon the pillow with his resting bitch face on, the one where he looked pissed off at everything, but was just really deep in thought. Or maybe not just deep in thought, but there was no point in expressing anything else. He was alone, by himself, nobody to talk to, alone, in a room that wasn't his, alone, with strange people wandering around outside the room where he sat, alone.... And there was nothing to do, there wasn't anything on television, it wasn't like he could just pick up a book and read it to pass the time, all of his hobbies required moving around which he could barely do at the moment because Erik had to go and be a dick-wad and get him in the leg!

Why couldn't he have gone for the arm? Or the hand? Or maybe just miss altogether, Oriel was scared enough he probably would've just bolted after Erik turned, if the stupid snake had just stuck itself to the corner then....argggg!!

He could feel the tension start to build in his arms. And in his legs. And in his chest....

With a grunt, he chucked back the little cup in his mouth, then drank down healthy gulp of his orange juice.

[Georgina Speer]

After the surprise meeting with Phoenix, (who just so happened to be Oriel's boyfriend... go figure) George had discovered that Oriel was in hospital. Their only meeting was the one where she had amnesia and he tricked her into thinking she was a princess and that he was her fiancee. She looked back on the whole situation now and laughed, but before, it was just confusing and plain unfair. She'd managed to let it slide... mostly. If anything, she just continued to make a joke out of the whole situation, which was mainly the reason why she was walking to his hospital room now with a bag of things.

On the way there, George had gone to the local bakery and picked up the perfect cupcake, which she had ordered specifically beforehand for Mr. Vanguard. She'd also gone to the costume shop and picked up a crown and a tiara. With her cheeky gifts, she set foot in the direction of the building full of dying people.

She checked in and went up to the Oriel's room. The door was wide open so she strolled in and instantly spotted the dark haired wonder in his bed. Yikes. He did not look happy. "Hey, grumpy jaws." She looked him in the face, "how you been?" She sat herself in a chair that was near the bed. "I hope you're feeling at least a little better..." she quickly dived into her carrier bag and pulled out the cupcake box, "...because I would hate for this to go to waste." She smiled and winked at him, holding it out. A little bird had told her that he liked sweet things. Hopefully it would cheer him up, at least a little bit.

[Jack McCarthy]

Oh, this was too good…this was rich!

Ok Jack should state for the record before he seemed like a totally heartless monster, that he made sure to make sure that Ortiz wasn’t going to die once he found out about his tragic accident, was it was confirmed that he’ll be out in a few days, Jack laughed his Irish ass off! Oh, this was awesome! This was Karma in his purest form. He…he just couldn’t stay away. He just couldn’t. I mean a vulnerable Ortiz that was incapable of tying him up with a rope? How could he possibly turn down that offer!

As quickly as he could Jack made his way to the hospital and made his way to his room, he KICKED open a door to reveal him standing in the doorway with an overdramatic happy grin on his face, he stayed in that pose for a moment making sure to drink Oriel face in. He knew he was helpless to stop Jack from annoying him this time! He walked forward still smiling happily with two thumbs pointing toward him. “Welly, Welly, well, well. Ortiz R. Fuckface! There’s my injured soldier! How are you didling mate?” Jack said with a shit eating grin on his face noting George which was surprising…Why was she here? Even though it wasn’t unwelcome, he quite enjoyed the company of George. “Hey George! Oh cupcake, thanks I’m staving!” Before anyone could protest Jack took a big bite of the cupcake. “Mmmm…that’s good. Let’s see what we got here…”

Jack strolled over the chart at the end of Oriel’s bed and picked it up, stroked the invisible beard on his chin gracefully like he understood what any of the info meant. “Hmmmm…Interesting, Apparently you need to have your balls chopped off. Tough break. Oh I almost forgot!”

Jack quickly went over to Oriels head knelt down, put his arm around Oriel like they were best friends, and with the other hand got out his phone and took a picture of them together. “That’s going up on my facebook wall!”

[Georgina Speer]

When the door slammed open, George stood up in shock and anger. Why would anyone -oh, it was Jack. An idea lingered in her mind, pleaded even that he would be kind and respectful, but the smile that was plastered on his face said otherwise, and out in front of her was a whole different Jack to the one she was used to. She watched as he made his little tour around the room, growing a little angrier by the second. There was mucking around and having fun, and then there was what Jack was doing. Any positive thoughts she had of him in that moment flew out of the hospital window and took a 50 ft. plummet to the ground. There were other people around too, and of a variety of ages, and he was running around swearing and fucking everything up! She was usually carefree, level-headed and calm, and she understood that this could almost be revenge for the 'incident' between the two, but this... this was going too far!

"JACK MCCARTHY!"

She bellowed out over the madness, and it felt like everything was suddenly still and silent. She instantly felt slightly sheepish, but didn't show it in any way, except for the fact that her cheeks were red, but that was partially from rage too. Her face stayed stern, as she grabbed his arm and wrenched him out of the room.

"Look, I completely understand everything you have against the man, and I respect that, but HONESTLY!? What do you think you're doing?" She was almost certain he wouldn't be listening to her, it wasn't in his nature. If anything, he would retaliate, possibly even degrade or insult her, but she would ignore it. At least she was a big enough person to get over her problems. "I don't care if you hate his guts, how would you like it if he came waltzing over to you and mocking you whilst you were incapacitated? You're just going to make things worse!" She sighed and rubbed her temples, walking back to the door,

"Either walk away now and go back to your dormitory and fuck around all you want, celebrate even, if you have to, or grow a pair and grow up a little." She looked him in the eyes, "Sometimes, you just need to grow up and be a little more... aware." She sighed and frowned a little, pushing the door to go back in.

[Deleted]

He was lost in his own thoughts when a figure appeared in the corner of his eyes that didn't look like the fat nurse, and he turned to find…. "Sufi--um, George?" This he was not expecting. His brows rose slightly, making Oriel look a little less than pissed off, as George stepped around, looked him in the face, and procured a very handsome looking cupcake. His eyes followed it like a kitten following food. "I'm honored," he mumbled out. Then he broke his gaze from it and smiled sneakily at the girl. "My Lady…."

Though courtesies went unfulfilled when a very loud, very annoying, very familiar, raving voice rang through the entire hospital, shouting obscenities and nonsense that was enough to grind anybody's nerves.

But not Oriel's.

His eyes actually brightened up to see the rambunctious someone he almost enjoyed the company of. "McCarthy!" Oriel shouted out an equally enthusiastic greeting. "Oh, didn't you hear? All my didling goes right into your drinking water. Say it's up-mostly essential to my recovering." A growl sprang from his throat when Jack stole his cupcake, the one he didn't even have the chance to joke over and sample! "Right, right. It's all yours, I wish you a very long and healthy life of diabeetus, Mr. Brimley." Because of course Oriel wasn't bitter, not at all.

Couldn't even tell in the way he rolled his eyes, as Jack looked over the chart. Oriel mimicked him by brushing his finger over the tiny bristles of his own faint stubble. Topping it off, Oriel HAD to paste on an annoyed face when Jack forced the two into a phone photo. Despite his sour face, Oriel appreciated the excitement.

But apparently George did not.

Oriel's head snapped over and followed as George stole Jack away and took him out into the hall. Though even if George was trying to be quiet, he could hear everything she was saying and he…guess he appreciated her standing up for him. Even if it was unnecessary. Though it was actually pretty adorable seeing Jack being bossed around by a girl half his size. "Um…heey!" He called out from his bed. "I don't know what it is you think it's more interesting out there than in here, but if you really want me to, I'll do the fucking strip show."

Cue the bratty smile.

[Deleted]

Dawn yawned in pure boredom as she waited for them to finally drop her off at the hospital. She didn't know these people, they were complete strangers who she just happened to pass. Okay maybe she used her cuteness to get them to drive her 30 miles to the hospital, so? She smirked at the thought and saw that they were finally there. The lady turned around with a sweet smile on her face. "Your Mom is inside right?" Dawn used her cute smile and giggled at them. They smiled as well and let her out. As soon as she was out of the car she bolted inside with a scowl on her face. That guy was going to die-get hurt. She sighed and walked around the place before she finally found someone.

"Sup...you know where a guy named Oriel...somethin' is?" The nurse just stared at her like she just said something in Latin. "Hellooo?" She sighed, she usually wasn't this mean. "Look-" Her head turned sharply to the left to see George shouting at someone. "Found them." The nurse sighed and walked off as Dawn's wicked grin came out. As soon as she got there she pushed Jack hard, stole the cupcake and went inside. That's when she heard Oriel's comment. "Stripping show? I wouldn't mind seein' that." She smirked and sat down.

"Sounds like Jack and George are competing against you." She smirked and started eating. Of course the chocolate was for Oriel but she wasn't going to say that. "Fair warning. I think Jack really likes you." She burst out laughing and finally gave Oriel a some of the cupcake from Jack. "Psst. Got this for ya...don't worry I tore his discusting side off." She smirked and bit into the chocolate she was eating. "So...how 'bout that strip show." Of course she was only joking. She didn't know Oriel had a boyfriend but this was no time for flirting.

[Jack McCarthy]

“Huh, well, that explains a lot!” Ah, yes he had missed this, he really has. Even though he took great pleasure the fact that Oriel got himself put in the hospital for being a fucktard, he would be super sad if Oriel went and got himself killed. Then Jack would be out Oriel. Jack would never admit it in a million years and he was sure that Oriel felt the same way. But if ever the two were separate, they’ll wither away and die. They needed to balance each other out, without satan, there’re can’t be a God. Someone needed to ying Jacks yang and someone needed to yang to Oriel’s yin and they fill these roles quite satisfactory

Jack almost jumped a foot in the air as George quite surprising yelled at Jack, before he knew it he was being dragged by his arm out of the room, Once Jack was released by George he quickly shook it intending to get some feeling again “Ow!” Jack whined “What was that for?!” Jack stayed silent as George read him the riot act, keeping his eyes on the floor and scratching his neck awkwardly, like a small child being lectured by his mother.

Boy, she was scary when she’s mad.

“Hey, who said I didn’t like him? I’m trying to help him out, through the healing power of laughter, I’m trying to cheer him up and make him forget about the whole almost dying thing, I’m like a better looking, betting Robin Williams! Fuck, George take a chill pill.!”

Before Jack was given the change to go back in, he was pushed against the wall by a small 14 year old girl and had his cupcake robbed from him,

It was like school all over against…

“Ow! Jack bitched as he rubbed the part of his body that connected with the wall “Why is everyone so violent and angry today?” Once he recovered from the shock, he gestured back to the door. “Are you coming or are you going to freak out again?”

Jack entered the room and frowned a little at Dawn handed Oriel HIS cupcake, that was no fair! He was hungry Jack wasn’t. Where was the justice in the world? ! “You giving her a strip show?” Jack quizzed gesturing to Dawn “Dude, she’s like 12? How many times do I need to tell you to stop showing your dick to kids? It’s that type of stuff that got you that restraining order….and that other restraining order.”

[Georgina Speer]

George was... completely dumbfounded. And confused. And unsure. She continued to stand by the door as the commontion took place, this time, ignoring the mini-speech that Jack gave (which was a gold mine of excuses anyway) and only watched in awe as a red-head -no, the scissor-bearing red-head who had been her hairdresser for 2 minutes- ran onto the scene, stole the cupcake (which made George release a squawk of really attractive laughter) and handed it to the boy in the bed, with a million comments a minute flowing from her mouth. It was like a switch had been flicked, and George was suddenly back to normal; no longer was she filled with unrelenting anger, but instead, she radiated a laughing smile. So much random shit had happened in such a short amount of time, she couldn't help it! She smiled happily at Jack, nodded in answer to his question, and practically skipped back through the door frame.

She stood near the bed to join in the conversation about... strip shows? Eh, whatever. She rolled her eyes and continued to smirk at Jack's silliness; seeing as it wasn't actually upsetting the injured lad, she didn't care. She turned to Dawn, "Yeah, how old are you anyway? It's difficult for me to tell, and I don't wanna get it wrong." She held her hands up in defense, "You were randomly walking around Hammel with a pair of scissors, you could be lethal! And I don't want to be on your 'kill list's, if you have one, that is." She smirked and looked at Oriel, "And I have something better than a strip show."

She found the remote for his hospital TV and found a music channel. Turning up the volume, she stepped away from the bed into a clearere space. And began to do the robot.

[Deleted]

Oriel was hoping that his perverse comment would catch their attention and coax them back inside, maybe get a blush or two from George. He definitely knew he's get a response from Jack.

But he wasn't expecting the voice of someone else.

"Dawn…" he said a little stupidly. He watched as she stole back the cupcake and invited herself in like the crazy bold girl she was. His grin expanded as she came in and returned his cupcake. "Why thank you Dawn. You know, people can be so rude sometimes."

He glared teasingly at Jack as the boy followed the red-head inside. "Beat up by a couple of girls," Oriel observed, shaking his head with a tsk. "You're slipping, McCarthy. If you don't watch it, one of these days I will have your ass."

Jack's little rant and accusation though. Oriel couldn't have set it up better himself. "I told you, you flesh-light loving bastard, that was an accident. I was just trying to persuade a fresh virgin into my dungeon to bleed for my hair conditioner!" Oriel hopped upright and crossed his legs, keeping them under the thick blanket. He was thoroughly entertained right now.

He was glad to see George relax, and even join in on the fun. Oriel stuffed the remainder of the cupcake into his mouth before Jack could steal the rest, leaving a handful of crumbs in his palm. He chucked them at the dancing girl. "Take off your paants~!" he heckled with underwhelming enthusiasm. This was exactly what he needed.

[Deleted]

Dawn almost through the chair she was sitting in at Jack. He was definitely someone she could watch die at the moment. She wasn't good at telling if people were joking or not, but once Oriel joined in she thought it was a joke...hopefully. She still glared at Jack for a while and then looked at George with a smirk. "How's the hair ma'am?"

She burst out laughing and then rubbed her arms a bit uneasily. She actually did have one of those hurting diaries, Jack was going on it. "I actually do have one of those, George." She smirked, but she was serious, and pointed at Jack. "You're goin' on it today and..." She smiled and looked at Oriel. "The guy who did this to you is going on it as..wait no he already is on it." Then she watched George do the robot. "I'm 14, so you are wrong by two years..moron." She went straight face and looked at Jack.

There were two types of friends too Dawn. One was the friends who you helped sometimes and one was the friends who you would do anything for, Oriel was one she would do anything for while George was one she would help sometimes. "May I say how moronic the both of you are. George isn't the moron today which is awesome. Jack's a moron for going in a sick room and be a bully while Oriel is a moron for ticking off a snake...a snake Oriel." With that she took another bite of her chocolate bar and stared down Jack. She may have been small but she wasn't afraid to go to jail.

[Jack McCarthy]

You know, when George first said she enjoyed hanging around Ortiz, he was more then a little skeptical, after all Ortiz was quite clearly insane and he might just start trying to eat George’s hair at some point. But now it was clear that they were perfect for each other. Because quite clearly George was seriously out of her tiny little mind. Just like Ortiz

One moment she looked like she was secords away from strangling him…and then here she was smiling like the weight of the world was off her shoulder. What was she going to do next? Jack had to admit; Things were never boring when she was around.

Jack walked back into the room and rubbed the back of his head smiling ruefully “It’s only become they want me so much…and are you coming on to me….one day you really have to deal with this sexual tension you feel toward me. Oh and…” Jack suddenly started to clap his hands together mockingly “Bravo, Bravo Ortiz, just sterling work. You’ve have a fourteen year old stripping for you. Why can’t you just do the normal thing and dance around you’re virgins with a goat head, in some kind of satanic blood sacrifice? You know what you usually do?”

Jack was suddenly distracted by George’s sudden dance, Ok, so there was one way George and Ortiz insanity was different; her insanity was actually fun! Jack leapt beside her, fully intending to join in, He cups his mouth in his hands and starts beat boxing poorly in time with her dance “Boom-ba-boom-boom-ba-boom-what?”

But suddenly the mood dropped as the red haired girl choose to ruin everyone’s fun “Oh, booo” Jack shouted “Booo! Seriously is something in the water? Why is everyone so grumpy today? Oh boo, hoo Ortiz got bitten by a snake. If you want to talk about pain, try getting your balls caught in a cd tray….long story don’t want to get into it, and it’s funny being called a moron by a girl who runs around with scissors! And I prefer the term eccentric genius.”

[Georgina Speer]

George took her hat off to the red-headed wonder, and bowed slightly, her hair now cut into a neater bob which reached down to her chin, "My hair is swell, thank you kindly for asking!"

She tried to ignore all the satanic cult events being explained in detail for her pleasure. Blegh.

Now, this was a problem with being British and practically living in America. Pants here meant trousers back in old Blighty. Pants in Blighty meant panties here. It was all too confusing. So instead of taking her 'pants' off for the delight of the injured, she took off her hat and threw it at the bed like a Frisbee.

Jack's beat-boxing was probably the most distracting thing in the world, so a few seconds after he started, she turned to him on her heels and shook her head in distaste with her arms crossed.

Once Jack had finished his really beautiful rant, George sat down, "Why don't we just say that we're all morons and leave it at that, eh? Won't go into details as to why, but we're all morons." She turned to Jack, "Unless you'd prefer to be a twit instead, of course. Your choice."

[Deleted]

Oriel rolled his eyes at the moronic beat-boxing.  Seriously?  "You need some help, McDouche? Hell, do you even know what a metronome is?" He grabbed the hat that George had thrown on the bed and topped it on his head, flipping it all classy-like and then flashed some non-sensical, stereotypical hand gestures. "Yo, gimme some bling, I'll be yo pimp, yo." Just needed some gold chains and flashy sunglasses.

Considering how strange Dawn was, Oriel wouldn't put it past her to have a blacklist diary.  He laughed and rested his chin in his palm.  "Why would you have one of those, really?  It's evidence!  That's why you got to keep it all in your head.  Like me!"  Oriel might have a list of his own.  Whether or not he ever got to it was still to be determined. Though...Oriel decided to not tell these guys who it was who bit him.  They might know anyway, but Oriel didn't want Erik to be bothered for something that was Oriel's own mistake.  That, and Oriel didn't want these guys to face Erik's wrath, the guy could be hella scary sometimes.  

But that's one of the reasons why Oriel liked him.

And he still did, which was why he didn't really appreciate the lot of them talking about the whole event. They didn't even know what happened, at least not the details. And Oriel didn't want to explain. But, of course, Oriel threw on his poker face and just laughed with them until George, dearest George, shut them down. Or at least Jack.

That was interesting and actually kind of adorable. George seemed to be quite capable of dealing with Jack, that much was certainly apparent from how she scolded him earlier. It made Oriel smile a little stupidly.

"Everyone except me. I am, of course, perfect and shit rainbows for your pleasure." He produced his tongue, biting it softly between his teeth, within a silly grin. "What you think, you're highness?"

[Deleted]

SHe glared at Jack and bit her chocolate bar. She hated people like that. Boo hoo? Who says that? Imature brats who want me to torment them! She listened to George and couldn't help to smile and bow to her. "I'm an idiot. Definition being I would probably have been bitten by the snake instead of Oriel if I was there. Just to see how my body would get that out of my system. I must say Cyanide doesn't taste half bad in orange juice." She chuckled and listened to Oriel.

She couldn't help but to role her eyes at that. "Conciieeetteedd...but so am I" She smiled wide at that and kept eating her chocolate. "So far I respect George the most. You are so amazing George and you deserve chocolate." She threw a Snicker bar at George and smiled. She didn't care if it hurt the other two's feelings. She was way too blunt for that. "So, Oriel. How are you liking this place? I see myself in the ER shortly. Think I ticked off two moronic twins...wonder if they like the smell of Tequila in their pillows."
