Waiting to Die

Azuma: "That would describe most of what we do."

S"Glad someone other than me said it."

*Vanessa shoves Astarte again.*

V"Tell HER, SHE'S the one who's always starting shit! Fuckin' bitch!>

L"So where do you think Ira is operating out of? The asylum? ...Hey!"

*She shakes Roatha by the shoulder. He jumps.*

R"Wha--Oh. Yeah, maybe. I remember going there a lot. There, the cabin, the church, and following you guys."

Azuma: "How much of that has changed?"

Astarte stumbled, caught her balance, and smiled sweetly over her shoulder at Vanessa, "This gives me more satisfaction than any of the other bullshit we've done so far. Hit me when my back's turned again, it was really cool."

Eve:<That just confirms what we thought before.>

*She looks back at Azuma and Vanessa for a moment*

<And you're both just as bad as each other. Either calm down or go fight somewhere else. The rest of us are trying to work here.>

*Tirea moves beside Eve and the others*

<You know...if we wanted to question someone...Stefan's...>

*Vanessa crosses her arms & backs up, grimacing at Astarte.*

V"What are you, some kind of sick pervert?"
-------------------------------------
Th"Shouldn't we be waiting for--"

S"If they don't want to be alone against some raging beast, they'll learn cooperation quickly. It's that simple."

*He looks over his shoulder at Eve.*

S"I did want to go after the priest. Questioning Stephen would be a logical first step. But we'd have to somehow get him out of the hospital."

L"Well, right now, we're going that direction. Away from campus."

A flicker of confusion crossed Astarte's face before she snorted with laughter, "Is that what this is all about? Sexual repression must be awful. I actually feel bad for you now."

OOC: I know it wasn't obvious, but it was Tirea that mentioned Stefan.

Eve:<Indeed. I doubt we should try going in there ourselves, especially since they must have noticed Tirea and Azuma are missing by now. Unless...you were the one to go, since you are the one who has spent the least amount of time there.>

S"I'm already wanted for threatening the priest."
-------------------------------
*Vanessa walks away after Schreiber muttering "Sick fucking pervert."*

Astarte laughed just loud enough for Vanessa to hear her and went after Lilith and the others.

Eve:<I forgot about that. Who do you think should go?>

Azuma: "If it mattered, don't you think we'd already be in trouble for the multiple accounts of disorderly conduct that occurred in such a short timeframe?"

*Astarte's got a long uphill hike to get back to them.*

S"Well, if that's how you feel, the thank you for volunteering."

L"They won't tell us where he is anyway. We'll have to ambush him when he goes outside."

Th"But what if he doesn't?"

L"He at least has to leave his room in order to get something to eat."

Astarte walked briskly up the hill, glancing around like a hunted woman.

Azuma: "Because why bother asking if either Tiera or myself know which room he's in?"

Tirea:<It said on the note he sent us, didn't it?>

Eve:<Even if Stefan left his room, we would have to get into the hospital to ambush him.>

S"Why bother just telling us?"

L"...Well, DO you know?"

Th"What note?"

*As ever, Thiera is updating the Case Files. It looks like she has a lot to edit this time, & those closest to her can see that she's even edited previous fields.*

S"Better figure out what you're doing fast. We're approaching the parking lot, & it looks like the cop cars haven't left."

*Astarte meets up with them, I guess.*

Tirea:<I think it was [room number.]>

*She looks at Thiera*

<Stefan slipped a note through the door while I was asleep.>

Eve:<Maybe we should find somewhere and make a better plan then. I have no idea how we're going to get to him.>

Azuma: "We're probably not."

*Everyone stops.*

S"Then we should just place a call to him. That way, nobody has to physically enter the building."

L"In the meantime, we could go see what Dr. Schreiber is up to."

Astarte said nothing as she came up to them, just put her hands in her pockets and looked bored.

Eve:<We could class using one of the new phones and see if they will patch as through to his room.>

*Tirea gets out her phone and hands it to Eve, then turns to Lilith*

<Do you really think she's lying or something?>

L"I can't really be sure."

*Eve looks up the front desk's phone number, then dials it on the new phone. She puts her finger in front of her lips as she moves a few feet away from the others*

OOC: Shit on a dick, I can't believe I'm posting just to say--

<Hello, Pforzheim General Hospital, how may I help you?>
