Experiment 37 [video]

[crabbygenius]

[The com clicks on as something heavy falls on it. A crack appears in the screen as more and  more debris starts to fall all around it. When the dust settles, coughing can be heard. The com shifts to reveal a dust covered Washu, curled up in the fetal position on what was left of her bed, still in her jps of an over sized shirt and boxers. A hand covers her mouth as she goes into another fit of coughing.She shifts around a bit carefully pulling the com towards her. There's the sound of shifting rocks and she stops and sighs. It's obvious she doesn't have much room to move. She manages to shift herself closer to the com, still laying on the bed and sighs. This close you can see she's pale and sweaty. She is definitely not well. In her hand appears to be a red crab plushie and a picture frame pressed against her chest. A and B can briefly be seen hugging eachother and shaking as they press against her side.]

This was not what I had in mind when I decided to go on a vacation...

The rooms collapsed around me.... miracle it didn't crush me... can someone please come dig me out...

[she shivers and covers her mouth again as she goes into a coughing fit. Serveral moments later it subsides and she lets out a soft whimper.]

Nothing's hurt... far as I can tell. Lucked out.  Just trapped and unwell...

[She sighs and curls back up into a ball and hugs the picture frame and the plushie close to her as A and B  huddle against their mistress. ]

Not what I had in mind at all....

Goddammit...Washu?! Hey, are you okay? Look, don't try and move. Stay where you are and wait for help!

[insert coughing here.]



Just please get me out of here...

[voice: english]

[fuck-you-d.livejournal.com]

Just hold on. I'm on my way over right now. Where are you?

Got it. I'll be there soon! [He's sprinting down the street cussing his head off as we speak.]

Washu sighs as she clicks off the com and stays where she's at. It's a miracle the place didnt fall on top of her. She was located on her bed which was in a corner against the wall. When part of the celiing fell, it fell at an angle, shielding her, and pinning her in at the same time as rubble from the remaining ceiling and wall fell around her. To put it bluntly, she was stuck, in a mini cave with barely any room to move. And to top it all off she was sick. Not a good vacation at all.

[When Leon reaches Latimir the place is in chaos. People freaking out everywhere, the police desperately trying to take control...he growls under his breath and ignores them all, heading straight for the stairs. He'd likely be thinking of all the ways he can blame this on Count D, but right now he's in full-on cop mode; get in, get the civilians out...and do it fast before the situation gets worse.

He makes it to the top of the stairs and curses - the place is a mess. The whole floor has collapsed in on itself. The walls have fallen down in places and it's hard to tell where, exactly, each room is.] Son of a bitch... [He steps over some rubble and moves toward the remains of 513 - at least he hopes that it is - and calls out into the wreckage.] Hey! Is anyone- Washu! Dammit, where are you? Shout or something so I can hear you, alright?!

The door to her apartment was only partially visible in the rubble. Of course her trademark crab was a dead give away. Inside the room the place was a maze of fallen beams and and slabs of ceiling. Bits and pieces of her inventions were everywhere, along with various papers.

From what used to be the bedroom a muffled should could barely be heard.

[Some more cussing can be heard as he moves toward the sound, shoving open the door and pushing his way through the rubble. He kicks some of the mess out of the way of the bedroom door and pushes it open, eyes narrowing angrily as he sees the fallen chunk of the roof. ]

[He rushes over and starts inspecting the slab, trying to figure out the best way to move it. He calls out to Washu, forcibly keeping his tone light.] Yo, how you doing in there?

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

[ from the rubble two small voices could be heard over some coughing. A and B were answering for her]



The sounds of coughing finally subsided and Washu's voice can be heard.

[Leon paused when he heard the other voices, but shook it off. More important things to worry about.] Give me a minute...

[He feels around until he finds the loose area. Throwing his weight against the slab, he strains against it for a long minute. Finally it moves, knocking a few small chunks loose, knocking more dust into the air. Leon coughs as he shoves the debris aside and moves to Washu's side.] Heh, hey there. Come on - can you move at all?

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

When the dusts settles from the removal of debris, Washu is revealed, laying down, practically curled in a ball since she really didn't have that much room. Her oversized tshirt and boxers were covered in dust and dirt as she blinked up at him, obviously relieved that he was able to move the rubble. Next to her were her little assistants, A and B, staring up at him wide eyed and hopeful. She nodded in response to his question

Yeah... I can move... now...

Another coughing fit attacks her for a few more moments before passing.

Just please get me to the hospital.

Slowly she gathered up A and B along with the plushie and the picture frame before crawling out of the hole. She gets to her feet, swaying a bit. The dirt and grim was sticking to her pale sweaty frame. She is obviously not well.

[Leon gives her room as she crawls out of her makeshift prison, raising an eyebrow skeptically as she coughs yet again. She was clearly very ill to begin with, and this new disaster wasn't doing her any favors. He reaches out automatically to steady her as she struggles to her feet.]

Woah there, careful. Jeez, you're shakier than this damn building. You sure you can make it alright? [He steps over and puts an arm around her shoulders, supporting her weight. Dammit, he'll carry her if he has to.]

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

She leans against him gratefully. He can feel her shivering as she grips her possessions tightly to her chest. A and B give soft squeaks from being held so tightly.

On my own I wouldn't be able to make it...not in this shape...

She warded off another coughing fit for a few moments, her small form still pretty shaky

My illness started yesterday... I need to get to my office.. in the hospital.

Re: Comment log~

[fuck-you-d.livejournal.com]

[Leon doesn't respond for a moment, considering their current situation and the amount of wreckage standing between them and safety. He grunts in annoyance.]

...tch. This is gonna be tricky...the place is totally wrecked.

[He frowns at the coughing fit, then moves in front of her and crouches down a little.] Come on, I'll carry you. It'll just take longer to try to walk if you're gonna keep that up. You'd be tripping over yourself the whole way.

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

Washu nods as she climbs on his back. She takes a moment to situate herself and her possessions and relaxes. one arm slips around his neck and shoulders to keep herself on him.

Thank you Leon....


She sighs softly, fighting off more coughing fits as He carries her out of the wreckage

Re: Comment log~

[fuck-you-d.livejournal.com]

[He straightens up once she's on, making sure she's relatively comfortably settled before he starts picking his way carefully back through the rubble.]

Heh...don't mention it. It's my job.

[He moves as quickly as he can without jostling her too much.] What a time to get sick, huh...don't worry, we'll have you taken care of in no time. You can count on me.

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

Washu smiled faintly as another coughing fit passed.She settled in as much as possible as he worked on getting them out of there.



She sighed again as she surveyed what was left of her apartment. All her projects, all her notes, all her tools and belongings, crushed. Six months worth of research, gone. It wasn't fair.

Re: Comment log~

[fuck-you-d.livejournal.com]

[Leon pauses for a second while climbing over a fallen beam, turning his head to look back at her in surprise.]

Huh? The chip did this to you!? What the hell kind of freaky device is that thing?

Wait...you said the chip suppresses, er, "special abilities"...does that mean you've got, like, some kind of magic powers or something?! [He sounds a bit skeptical, but at this point he shouldn't be surprised.]

[They makes it safely to the door after a minute of careful navigation. He pushes it open wider with his shoulder and steps into the hallway, leaving the wreckage of Washu's home behind.]

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

She just nods as she rests on his back. Her small frame shivers slightly as he continues to move on.



Another coughing fit later, she sighs.

Re: Comment log~

[fuck-you-d.livejournal.com]

[Soon enough they make it to the staircase, though it too has taken a fair amount of damage and is partially blocked by debris. Leon grumbles under his breath and tries to climb around it without dropping his passenger.]

Ingen- yeeeah, I guess that's a word you could use for it. Finding out more about it wouldn't be a bad thing, but if you've got to go through all this...

[He won't really admit it, but he's intrigued.] ...what kind of powers are we talking about here?

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

She supressed another round of coughing as the continued to move.



Another shiver runs down her spine as she tightens her grip on him a little.



She smiled faintly, leaving out the fact that she could also create small dimensions at will as well.

Re: Comment log~

[fuck-you-d.livejournal.com]

[And after almost tripping over a chunk of roof, they've made it past the worst of the debris. Leon is fairly cautious as he heads down the stairs, but they're home free now.]

You don't need to go putting yourself out of commission just to study some stupid chip! That's just reckless. You got lucky this time!

...hn. Gotta tell ya, that's some pretty crazy stuff, there. Sounds like something out of a cheesy sci-fi movie, really...

Re: Comment log~

[fuck-you-d.livejournal.com]

What, normal for you to risk your health just cause you're curious about something?! You must lead a very interesting life, Little Washu.

...Well, don't think about that right now. What's important is that you weren't hurt. The rest are just things, okay? You can worry about it when you're not coughing up a lung.

[They're almost out of the building. People are still running around like crazy. There's people helping with first aid nearby, but she should probably be taken to the hospital as soon as possible...

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

Both are normal for me. I am a scientist after all...

She blinked hesitantly as they finally reached the outside of the building. She let out a sigh of relief, followed by some coughing. A few moments later she spoke again

There's nothing first aide can do for me... I just need to get to my office in the hospital... and go back to sleep.

Re: Comment log~

[fuck-you-d.livejournal.com]

[He thinks about that for a minute and decides she's probably right. She's not injured, so rest is what she needs more than anything. There seem to be enough people helping out with the other residents for now. He nods and heads in the direction he recalls the hospital being in.]

Got it. We'll be there soon.

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

Only according to some people....

She falls silent as they head towards the hospital. She knew there probably wouldn't be any monsters out right now... not so soon after the earthquake and with so many people milling about.

It didn't take them long to get to the hospital. From there she quietly directed him to her office on the second floor. It was easy to spot. There was a red crab painted on the door. When they stopped in front of the door she shifted around a bit, and pulled a key on a string out from under her shirt.

You can set me down now... I can take care of myself from here...

Another coughing fit attacked her. After a few moments it subsided and she sighed.

Thank you Leon for all your help... please feel free to visit me whenever you want....Hopefully this sickness will pass soon....

Re: Comment log~

[fuck-you-d.livejournal.com]

[The trip to the hospital was uneventful, thankfully. Leon followed her directions to her office and set her down carefully outside the door. He frowned as another conveniently timed cough shook her frame.]

You sure you'll be alright? Eh, well, this is a hospital after all, but...look, just get some rest and take care of yourself, got it? Call if you need anything. I've got to head back and see if the police still need help, but I'll check in on you when this business with Latimir has settled down.

[He pauses, then sets a hand on her shoulder.] I mean it. Take care of yourself and get better as soon as possible. We don't need to lose anyone else.

Re: Comment log~

[madwashu.livejournal.com]

She smiled faintly as she listened to him. All she wanted no was to sleep and to get rid of the sickness stage. There had to be away around it. Perhaps she could invent one....

Don't worry Leon... I should be fine now. As you said, this is the hospital. If I need assistance, I can easily find someone to help me.

She really was touched by his concern for her.
