The Hospital

[rainbowmods]

The hospital is sterile and sprawling, its hallways and patient rooms painted a glaring white. The floor is made of something hard and shining, and the lights are that peculiar kind of flourescent that makes everyone look ill.

The first floor consists of the lobby (painted a sickly green), an emergency room, and several surgery suites, all stocked with cutting-edge, even futuristic, technology and supplies. There is a cafeteria, though the buffet line is empty; the only consumables seem to be stocked in a line of vending machines along one wall. There are no stairs, only elevators, to the upper floors, which all consist of patient rooms: made beds, glazed windows, dying flowers, and the hard plastic orange chairs that are a constant in hospitals.

The whole building smells like antiseptic and death.

"Tell me about this Brendan," said Robin. "He sounds like such a fascinating fellow."

(OOC: Oh, boy.)

Ahava dimpled. "Weelllll," she said, drawing it out, "he's my little brother, so you understand I can't be terribly complimentary. It's in the big sister contract."

"Bah," Robin said. "My dear sister adored me. Or if she didn't, she hid it well enough. She had to, if we were to sneak into the pantry together. But do go on."

"I'm sure she told you that," Ahava said, smiling. "Anyway, Brendan is my second brother and third sibling, although that's kind of a weird count because we got him and Kyle at the same time. They're biological brothers, you see, and they were holding out to be adopted together but nobody would take them except my parents. So when we got him he was super antagonistic and angry because nobody ever wanted him to stay before." Her smile faltered a little. "He's better now though."

"Ah," Robin said. "Your brother sounds very much like the fellow I was talking about before, with six sisters. When I met him, he behaved the same way, even to the sweetest people in our circle."

His voice dropped, tinged with sadness. "I hope Brendan didn't have to learn things the hard way, like he did."
