SCP Adam

18:38 DrSavage Down the halls, faint singing can be heard!
18:38 padri Renee hears it from the rec room.
18:39 Vol Danzig wakes up in the rec room. He stretches his arms, and then realizes something isn't right. "Why am I wearing a bra?"
18:40 DrSavage A cloaked man walks the halls, sipping a cup of tea that never seems to drain.
18:40 Vol redact half of that.
18:40 padri "Morning, Danzig."
18:41 Vol Danzig grabs a pepsi from the soda machine and smiles at Renee. "Hya."
18:41 DrSavage The man stops near rec, and there is a sudden, loud clinking sound.
18:42 padri She turns to look.
18:42 Vol Danzig turns at the noise. "Is someone there?"
18:42 DrSavage There is the cloaked man, sipping tea, and around him are many cups of that same tea.
18:43 padri "Um … "
18:44 Vol "Um…Adam…is this some sort of MCD ritual?"
18:44 padri "MCD?"
18:44 Vol "Marshal, Carter, & Dark."
18:45 padri She frowns, still not getting it, but that's not important right now. She turns back to Adam. "Are you okay?"
18:45 DrSavage The man chuckles, sounds like Adam, he begins walking again.
18:45 padri "Adam?"
18:47 DrSavage The footsteps are moving away from Rec.
18:47 padri She gets up and walks out to the hall, watching 'Adam' go.
18:47 padri "Adam!?"
18:47 Vol Danzig walks out of rec. He examines the cups that have fallen.
18:49 DrSavage He stops, looking back.
18:49 padri She approaches him. "Are you okay?"
18:49 Vol What does he see when he examines the cups/
18:50 Vol ?*
18:51 DrSavage They are all intact, and contain tea!
18:52 DrSavage "Indeed I am, Renee! I'm stupendous.' He turns and looks to her, smiling gleaming from beneath his hood.
18:52 Vol "Something tells me I don't want to drink the punch…or tea, rather, in this case."
18:52 DrSavage *smile
18:52 DrSavage "And how about you?"
18:52 padri "I'm … frankly, concerned.
18:52 padri "
18:53 DrSavage "About what?"
18:53 Vol "You. Granted, /my/ concern doesn't hold /nearly/ as much weight, considering that I'm dead, but you get the point."
18:54 DrSavage "And what is there to be concerned about? I've never felt better!"
18:54 padri "Adam, where'd you get all these cups?"
18:55 Vol Danzig nods. "And more importantly, I thought you threw that outfit away weeks ago."
18:57 DrSavage "Oh this is /new/. And why does it matter?" He avoids the question. The smile remains. It's almost hard to look at.
18:58 padri "Um, Adam? You usually only wear that when something's wrong … "
18:59 Vol "And you're smiling. What's up?"
19:02 DrSavage "You know, I think it's becoming more subtle."
19:03 padri "What is?"
19:04 Vol ~Ren, something very weird is going on.~
19:04 padri She knows.
19:05 DrSavage "The pool. Had some tea before bed last night. I should've known when it tasted odd, heh."
19:06 Vol "Is that's what's in these cups?"
19:08 DrSavage "No, that's my /special/ brew."
19:29 padri "Your special brew … What do you mean?"
19:30 DrSavage "Try it!"
19:31 Vol "This seems like a bad idea."
19:31 padri She frowns. "I don't know, Adam …"
19:33 DrSavage "Don't you trust me?"
19:33 padri "Adam, you promised you would never hurt me, and I'm afraid you're about to break that promise …"
19:36 DrSavage He steps forward. "Now, now, I hold to my promises. Simply try it, it won't hurt you!"
19:37 padri "Will it do anything to me?"
19:38 DrSavage "Nothing permanent nor horrific! You're hurting my feelings, Renee!"
19:39 padri "Nothing permanent? You're scaring me, Adam …"
19:41 DrSavage "How? Hmmm?" He steps closer. Was he always that tall? The smile gleams still in the hood, and they can feel the compulsion to smile too.
19:44 Vol roll d6+5
19:44 Inkspot Vol : —> 10
19:45 Vol Danzig resists the urge to smile. He shakes his head "Not until you tell us what it does."
19:46 padri Ren smiles nervously.
19:49 DrSavage He offers a cup, it's not apparent he was holding two.
19:49 padri "Um … No thank you."
19:51 DrSavage "Please, take some." He leans toward them. "Or do you suspect something?"
19:53 Vol Danzig shakes his head. "This is the Foundation. We suspect everything."
19:54 padri "I …" She takes a step back.
19:57 DrSavage "I thought I was your friend…and you won't even take my tea." His smile gleams brighter.
19:57 padri "I … Um … " Flustered Renee.
20:00 Vol Danzig steps between Renee and Adam. "Look, Adam, we can get you help, just, uh…just follow us to the medical center, aye?"
20:03 DrSavage "I've learned a lot from the Foundation. The Directors won't stop there."
20:03 padri "Stop where?"
20:04 DrSavage "With checking me out medically." He holds the cup out. "Drink, please."
20:05 padri "Please, will you let me take you to medical? Please, Adam?" C'mon, Adam, this is Renee beseeching you.
20:06 DrSavage "Drink first. Then I'll go wherever you please."
20:08 padri padri: 6 (6df+6=0, -, +, +, 0, -)
20:08 padri well, redact that, i guess.
20:08 padri She takes the cup he's holding out and looks at Danzig. Then back at Adam. "You promise?"
20:09 padri ~I hope you've got this, Danzig.~
20:10 DrSavage d6+6
20:10 Vol roll d6+5 You can't make me drink this.
20:10 Inkspot Vol : You can't make me drink this. —> 7
20:11 Vol redact
20:11 DrSavage "Promise?"
20:12 padri "If I try it, you promise you'll go wherever we please?"
20:12 DrSavage "Of course."
20:13 padri She glances as Danzig, then warily takes a sip. ~I just know this is a bad idea…~
20:14 Vol Danzig subtly nods. "Alright, she's taken her sip, now let's head over to medical."
20:18 DrSavage The tea is /delicious/. She recalls every instance she's had tea with Adam.
20:19 padri She smiles. ~That's rather nice.~
20:20 Vol ~Come on, Danzig, think! Stupid zombie brain…working slower than usual…~ Danzig shifts his weight nervously. "Hey, I bet everyone in medical would LOVE to try your tea, Adam."
20:21 padri She heads towards Medical. "Let's go."
20:22 DrSavage Adam follows, striding with them.
20:22 Vol Danzig takes one of the cups and nonchalantly takes a swig of it. He's perfectly fine, being a zombie.
20:23 Vol redact the perfectly fine part.
20:23 DrSavage Danzig can recall all of his moments having had tea at any point in his life.
20:24 Vol Danzig, having only had tea any time he was ill as a child, suddenly doubles over, feeling slightly nauseous.
20:25 padri "Are you okay?"
20:25 Vol "As fine as a split-stomached zombie can be. Didn't know I could be nauseous after death."
20:27 padri "I'd say we should get you to medical, too, but I'm not sure what they could do for you …"
20:27 Vol Danzig shrugs. "It'll prolly pass."
20:28 DrSavage Adam stands there, quiet.
20:28 padri She keeps walking to medical.
20:29 Vol Danzig peeks into Medical as they arrive. Who's in there?
20:29 DrSavage He follows, quiet. Medical staff are in there.
20:30 Vol Danzig walks up to the head doctor and smiles. "Hey, doc. Haven't seen you since you botched my operation."
20:30 padri "Danzig!"
20:31 Vol "What? It's like he delivered me! As a…smelly, rotting baby."
20:31 padri She grimaces.
20:32 padri "Doctor, would you look at Adam?" She walks up to him and whispers. "We need to know if he's still Adam or if he's …"
20:34 DrSavage Adam looks to her and sits down. The doctor looks over to Adam, nodding quietly.
20:34 padri She nods, too, then turns to look at Adam.
20:34 DrSavage Adam still smiles.
20:35 padri Dr Roberts goes over to Adam. "I'll need you to take down the hood, if you would."
20:35 Vol Danzig takes a seat and readjusts his spine, as it had shifted slightly during travel.
20:35 padri Renee paces.
20:37 DrSavage Adam removes the hood, skin extremely pale, and a ghoulish smile on his face. What hair there is on his head is stark white.
20:38 Vol Danzig chuckles. "Hey, we've got something in common." ~Besides the whole being a scip thing.~
20:39 padri Dr Roberts does a double take. "Adam Devan, right? Here, watch this light." He points a little light at Adam's eyes and moves it around, y'know, like doctors do.
20:40 DrSavage Adam watches, quiet.
20:40 padri "When did this happen?" He looks in ears 'nd nose.
20:41 padri Renee worries.
20:41 Vol Danzig scratches his eyelid with annoyance. "Damn it, something crawled in there again.."
20:41 padri She glares at Danzig.
20:42 Vol He gives her a defensive shrug. ~What?‘
20:42 Vol ~*
20:42 padri "Adam?" Dr Roberts.
20:44 DrSavage Adam looks to him, smiling still. "Yesterday."
20:45 padri "Open your mouth?"
20:47 Vol Danzig pops his eye out, grabs the fly and squashes it, tossing it aside. He giggles with delight and pops the eye back in.
20:48 padri Renee doesn’t look. At all. Cause gross.
20:48 DrSavage He opens his mouth, tongue is clear, and his teeth are immaculately white.
20:48 Vol ~Well exCUUUUUUUUUUUUSe me, princess.~
20:50 padri "Alright. Now I'm just going to prick your finger, okay?"
20:50 DrSavage Adam chuckles and nods.
20:52 padri He goes and gets doctor stuff and brings it back. He takes Adam's hand and does that doctor check-up thing. Pricks his finger to get about a drop of blood.
20:53 DrSavage The liquid that comes forth is a clear, semi-watery substance.
20:53 padri He does a double take. "If you'll excuse me, I'd like to draw some … blood. I'll be right back, alright?"
20:54 padri He nods to Renee on his way to get blood-drawing stuffs.
20:57 padri He comes back. "This won't hurt a bit." He draws a vial of … not blood.
20:59 Vol Danzig raises an eyebrow. Then pulls it down, he meant for the other one to raise. Screw his messed up nervous system.
21:01 DrSavage Adam looks to them all, chuckling. "See how polite I am?"
21:02 padri He takes the vial and looks at Renee and … Danzig, too, I guess. ~They're the poolboys. They'll take it from here.~ He hurries off.
21:02 padri Renee: "You're very polite. Would you come for a walk with me?"
21:05 DrSavage He stands up and nods, looking to her.
21:06 padri She starts walking to research and containment.
21:08 DrSavage "Where are we going, Renee?"
21:09 Vol Danzig follows.
21:09 padri "I need to pick up something in research and I wanted you to come with me."
21:11 DrSavage "Oh? Are you trying to trick me?"
21:11 padri "You said you'd go with me, Adam. Please, if you ever loved me, come with me."
21:12 padri ~He still knows that. I hope it's enough.~
21:13 Vol Danzig hobbles along and readjusts his ankle. His foot got twisted on the way out.
21:14 DrSavage Adam follows her in silence.
21:14 padri She's feelin all kindsa guilty. She doesn't even have a good reason to. But she leads him to containment.
21:17 DrSavage The smile remains as he speaks. "Will you…will you visit, Renee? Will you come see me?"
21:17 padri She nods. "I will. You'll come back, too."
21:18 Vol Danzig smiles. "Adam, you know, there's a good chance they'll make you an active scip agent."
21:19 DrSavage Adam merely smiles, looking to them. "Take me to my place of rest."
21:20 padri She checks him into Research and gets him to a comfy containment room.
21:22 DrSavage Adam takes a seat on the floor and watches the door, staring and smiling.
21:23 Vol Danzig nods. "Who knows, they might toss me in here soon. We can be roommates. A scippy odd couple."'
21:23 padri She ignores Danzig. It's harder to lose someone to the pool than to death, especially if you get the dead ones back. She closes him in and leaves.
21:24 DrSavage Faintly heard are the words. "Who would like some tea?"
21:25 Vol Danzig gets a chill down his spine and catches up to Renee. "Something tells me our next meeting might not be so amicable."
21:25 padri She nods.
21:25 padri "But he's safe now."
