Nina Simone Rivera

A window would be nice. An outside one, where she could do some watching. Maybe birdwatching. It was better than wall-watching. Or ceiling watching; which was what Nina was doing right now. She laid on her mildly uncomfortable bed and waited for the morning lights to turn on so she could get started with her day.

Nina’s eyes went from half lidded and distant, to eager and wide the moment the lights turned on. She shot up in her bed, bouncing off the mattress. One of her legs got caught in the sheets, which made her jump out of bed seem more like a tumble. Nina looked around with an embarrassed expression. No one saw that, right? Nina tightened her jaw a bit before actually getting to her feet. Does her room have cameras? She hoped that whatever security guard that was on shift at the moment happened to be dozing off when she fell.

Nina had her own bathroom, as to avoid physical contact with others as much as possible. She quickly showered and got dressed, she was glad when she checked the clock and noted that it was 6:20 once she was done. No punishment for her today! That was usually a sign of luck, Nina would take it.

Nina awaited an escort to her breakfast cell, she almost started bouncing on her heels out of habit. But most of the guards didn’t like when she did that, they’d treat her harsher. She would stay as still and non threatening as she could, Nina didn’t want to cause any trouble. Once she was actually in her Containment cell, Nina glanced around to see who else would be around. Have any other subjects arrived yet? Or friendly-ish guards?

Sam

Wide eyed and staring at the bland light brown ceiling above him, Sam listened to his alarm blaring at the side of his head, it's shrill shrieking reminding him how tired he was every time it went off. With a low grumble he rolled onto his side, reaching out and clicking the alarm off before he sat up in his bed. Just another long night. It'll be over eventually, I won't have to do this forever.

Sam kept getting scheduled night shifts, he wasn't sure why, but it was starting to wear on him. After a moment too long of staring at the wall and trying to convince himself he wasn't actually that tired, he stood and quickly made it to the other side of his small room. It was 5:55 am, 5 minutes before the lights turned on, and he had to be out of his room to clock in before 6:00 am.

With a zip and a few clicks he had his uniform on, the thick fabric scratching against his undershirt. Pistol, flashlight, first aid, water, granola bar, knife, another knife, yet another knife (this one's his favorite though, it had a nice smooth blade that could cut through almost anything), electrified baton, and his trusty helmet that saved him from half the tier 3 subjects he was allowed to handle.

Click click click zip, all his weapons and items were in place, where they always were and where they always will be. His steps became heavier the moment he put his boots on, making his presence known before he was even seen. He was pretty sure almost all subjects knew what the guards boots sound like at this point.

Sam opened his door and walked out into the employee housing hall, making his way down the clean white path before reaching the subject containment door. He pulled out his floppy ID card, pressing it against the ID reader that would grant him passage through the large heavy door into containment.

The card reader beeped, spitting out a small paper at him to announce that he clocked in and officially started his workday.

Fever.

The slip read out the name in tiny letters. A tier 3 subject. He sure was being put with tier 3 subjects more than usual, probably because of the dwindling number of staff members. Sam made his way to the tier 3 subject housing zones, unwrapping his granola bar and taking a small bite before putting his helmet on and locking it into place.

As he approached his destination, he lightly tap tap tapped on the window that allowed Fever to look out of her cell to alert her of his presence. It was still 6:20 am, so he leaned against the wall near the cell door and waited for her to finish getting ready.


Charlie

A cup of black coffee warmed Charlie up as she sat, legs crossed and reading, in the staff cafeteria room. Over easy eggs and toast littered the plate in front of her, forever chilling as she neglected the food she thought she was hungry enough to eat. Charlie had been up since 5:00 am, walking around the facility and taking subjects in for last minute testing.

The window that allowed her to look into the subject cafeteria displayed a room full of empty chairs and boxes that would soon be filled. The bright flash of the morning lights turning on told her that she would soon have her silence interrupted by hungry coworkers. She was planning on taking a subject in for testing after breakfast was over, specifically a subject named Nina. Of course she wasn't allowed to do anything that might harm Nina in the morning, which was... Unfortunate, but she could make due with an interview and a small experiment.

(Apologies if I got anything wrong about characters, I'll fix it if I did!)

I Deserve To Bleed








Fever. That fever, her face was hot to the touch, she was red as a poppy. She had not slept, it was too hot, too cold, too... too feverish. Her mouth was dry, and cracked, it wouldn't be a surprise if it started bleeding, it felt as if her mouth was filled with sand.

She peeled her sweating, shaking figure off the bed, wheezing, petals falling out of her mouth as she moved her shivering, sickly, small figure. Each bone hurt, she could feel the roots digging under her skin, around her bones, breaking, cracking every time she awoke, the snapping of her fingers, the start of black on their tips. She always wondered if she had some sort of healing factor, with what she was going through and not dying.

She hurt. It all hurt. She ignored it even as she wiped the sweat from her head, wheezing as her trembling fingers pulled on the dress, and gloves, she chokes down tears as the cloth touches her sensitive skin. A small flower embroidered veil falling over her hair, such a simple thing was what kept others safe. Safe from her sick, for her torture. Fever was the embodiment of sick, pain, of the sorrows of losing those you loved.

She wished she'd just parish already if this was something normal... Well, she would've already died. She flinched as the window was thumped upon, the unsteady clopping of her hooves, walking to the door, her large eyes peering through the rose-stained glass of her mask, stained from the flowers that made her so dangerous. She was glad she could have it, the permanent tear streaks on her cheek didn't make her any better in the eyes of everybody else.

She huffed, her leg stumbled, almost falling, her body working overtime. Her heart was racing, it always was, so fast it ached in her chest, they had done an x-ray on one of her first days and the roots wrapping around her heart, pumping it for her, faster and faster, it was disturbing what these plants, what this illness did.

She shouldn't even be allowed around the other patients, what her illness does to other people, watching them walk and walk, the plants curling around them until one day they stop moving, they seem fine, they seem so fine even as the plants fill their lungs, curl around their hearts, parasites. they took life, they killed.

She glanced at s small pink flower, they were always some shade of red, the longer they were around, the closer they came to the shade of her own blood, she frowned behind the mask. Looking up at her guard, from what she knew, not much seeing as she knew, he was... Nice? Hopefully. She didn't want to hurt him, she didn't want this figure of good, to fall to someone as pathetic as her. She gave him an awkward little wave.

Dam Minyoung
Minnie was simply exhausted. Her newest round of experiments focused on how different emotions and situations affected her powers and last night, they had her under sedation. Could she still kill when she was unconscious? Barely conscious? It certainly wasn't the worst experiments they had in store for her, but they always left her tired in the morning.

Her alarm had gone off a little while ago... how long had it been? She was sure it had only been a couple of minutes... She rolled over, squinting at her alarm clock... 6:20.

6:20?! She only had 10 minutes to shower and get dressed before one of the guards arrived! She could only pray that she was assigned Sam today. Sam was kind and lenient, he probably wouldn't mind if she was a couple of minutes late. Luckily, her shower was in her room. She couldn't be trusted with her hands exposed around others, let alone her entire body. She quickly stripped off and showered, trying to get rid of the bedhead.

When she got out of the shower, it was already 6:29. How had it taken her so long? She was moving as fast as she could! She quickly got dressed, pulling up her long socks to make sure her ankles were covered and stepping into her jumpsuit. She almost jumped out of her skin when she heard a bang at her window. It wasn't Sam, it was Abel.
Why did it have to be Abel? He was permanently in a bad mood, there was no getting away with anything with this guy. He could see that she wasn't ready, still zipping up her jumpsuit. Her hair was a wet mess and her gloves weren't even on.

Abel opened the door, holding it open with his foot.
"Where are your gloves?" He asked, pulling his electrified baton from his belt. This subject was dangerous and, despite his protective suit, he wasn't taking any chances. Minnie was all over the place, her mind foggy from the sedation. Those gloves were important, where had she put them?!

She frantically scanned the room, finally spotting them. They lived on her bedside table but one had fallen in her panicked state. She snatched them up, quickly pulling them on, but her hands were shakey and she struggled to get her fingers into the right places.

Abel watched in amusement before looking down at his watch. 6:32.

The tier 3 containment area was quiet, until Minnie's shriek echoed through the corridors. She was late, after all, and that meant punishment. Her feet dragged as she was marched down the corridor by Abel. She hated those stupid electric stick thingies, they were the only things they could really punish her with. She was sat down in front of her little table in the breakfast area and left, Abel standing by the doorway to her cell.

She sat still, staring at her empty table. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were teary, she just wanted to go back to bed and cease to exist. She could sense movement, hesitantly lifting her head and meeting eyes with Nina. Nina was... nice, but she could sense the tension when they interacted. She wasn't sure Nina actually liked her... She tried to push that thought away. Today was just a bad morning, she couldn't trust any of her thoughts right now.

Blah Blah Blah



The Oozes








The jagged scars ached, the face a cold grimace, the stiff halls of the facilities, it wasn't cold but that didn't change the goosebumps arching across their arms. The reflective walls flickered back the indents in the skin, pinks, and reds, new and old, skin a canvas, each scar a story untold, reminding them of the words of someone they used to know, pain suits them well, people were always better when forged through the ache of blood, you cannot deny the strength of necessity, and a lot of things were necessary to Lux.

With this job, only more scars would smear the face, history repeated, so it was almost certain that more would come. There was nothing they could even try to do. They wouldn't leave. No. They were nothing unless worth something, they had worked every day for something, to be something, someone. They still didn't know if they were useful no matter how much others told them so. They remembered each compliment but never believed them, all they knew was that they would stand strong, and they always did.

In reality, they were a beast. Or at least they would be if not compared to those in the cells, to them they weren't anything special. Lux didn't deny they had a hard time taking the compliments of all the guards and higher-ups, they didn't feel any different from anyone else, though logically they knew they were above the average worker.

The people who disliked them at least usually told the truth, but they still couldn't trust them. Did Lux think they deserved the pain and suffering in life? Maybe. It was better than wondering if they deserved anything. So they didn't want anyone close. Especially in a place like this, professionalism was important in the workplace.

Their head was always aching, a slender finger traced the sharp lines and burn marks. Their almost entirely covering outfit hid the majority of the things but it was still clear to others they had been through much. The clunk of the metallic-tipped boots stopped as they stepped up to a cell. Preparing to be around patients. Who were they with today?

They looked down at the paper, made for each assignment, going over who he had again, it was important to be diligent with work. Today they were with Fairchild, one of their more dangerous patients, Lux tch'd and lifted their long arm to give three strong taps to the wall to call the girl out, looking to the clock on the wall, she'd better not be late, it would be a pain to have to punish someone so early in the morning, a stiff sigh, they hated this job.

Sam

With a bright smile, Sam waved back to Fever. Good, she was ready. He hated beating late subjects with his baton. He took out his security badge to unlock the door, though before he unlocked it he paused to make sure his uniform was on correctly. Gloves were securely fastened to his sleeves, pants were tucked into his boots, helmet was on tight so he couldn't pull it off, and last of all, no seams in his clothing that were visibly ripped. After Sam was satisfied with his safety, he unlocked the door, pushing the heavy metal to open it.

"Good morning Fever! It's time for breakfast!" He said with as much energy as he could muster, which wasn't much. The helmet muffled his words slightly, but he spoke loud enough for her to hear.

"Make sure your entire body is covered to prevent anyone from getting hurt. Of course you don't have to cover your head. You are required to walk two steps ahead of me at all times, if you attempt to touch me I will be forced to take action. When we reach the cafeteria you are to head straight into your designated tier 3 containment chamber. If you accidentally come into contact with anyone, even if they are clothed, you are required to immediately inform the nearest staff member or you will be severely punished," Sam repeated the words he said to most subjects, though he changed them slightly to fit Fever's abilities, "The breakfast room is down the hall, take a turn on the first right and you will enter the tier 3 cafeteria... Anyway... How are you doing today?"

As Sam waited for a response he moved away from the cell door so she could safely exit. Now that he got all the required safety measures out of the way, he was able to get a closer look at her.

Sam didn't know Fever well, though he did see her quite a bit with other guards. She always looked so sickly, like she was just going to keel over and die any second. He found the flowers quite pretty... Although it gave him anxiety to see them all over her. That must hurt tremendously. There's gotta be some sort of cure someone could give her right? Something someone could do to relieve the pain? Guilt started welling up inside him, though he quickly shut that down. It's not my fault she's sick... But someone should help her. I wish I could help... She's just another person-

NO. she's not human, not a person, just an animal.

With a deep breath, he stopped thinking about it to stop himself from continuing down that path. He couldn't see the subjects as people, it would get him killed. Instead he focused on how hungry he was. And the pretty flowers! Very pretty flowers. There were some other red flowers growing on the walls of the facility too, which he assumed were decorations, but personally he liked Fevers flowers better.

I Deserve To Bleed








Her wide eyes peered out at the guard, watching him check his clothes... Good, he wouldn't get hurt. That did always make her feel worse about her illness regardless if she knew that it was only procedure. This was all so very new to her, so very nerve-wracking.

A strangled, "Good Morning." Was replied to his chipper greeting, though hard to hear behind the mask. Fever was slouched and really just looked like she wasn't trying to take up much space, like she wanted to collapse in on herself and disappear. It would be nice to not affect anything, to just go away and not bother anyone anymore.

She had already made sure she was covered, she had to be and she would always do her best to keep covered, she double-checked and gave him a thumbs up. Her face scrunched at his command to walk in front of him, she really didn't know this place well so she was... Nervous. She had a horrible sense of direction. She kept his words stuck in her mind, she really really didn't wanna make trouble.

She scrambled out of the cell awkwardly, her voice softly whispering, slightly raw as usual, "Fever is... Normal." Which meant bad, feeling like her body was mush... But not worse than usual. "Want chocolate..." She admitted even though she knew she probably wouldn't get any, she missed the sweet melting on her tongue, it reminded her of when everything was at least a little okay. Her shakey quiet words were set in a thick accent, she'd only been in an English-speaking country for about a year and a half after all. She'd never been good at English anyway.

The flowers donning her twirled of their own accord moving, dancing like they were more than just a flower. They probably were. Blood was coated under her nails, a statement considering she had just showered, it was clear she was fragile. A glass doll that would always be in a display case, each crack that marred her skin painted with a flower to cover it up.

Fresh cuts were always common but always dangerous, blood was the one was people could get infected that didn't have to do with touching, it was harmless on its own but the second it came into contact with living organic creatures it became a horrible pathogen of death. Her stomach ached, she couldn't tell if it was the illness or if she was really hungry. Her stomach growled and she grumbled slightly looking up to her guard, "And you?" She turned the question back at him, "Alright? Not any sick?"

She could really do with a pain killer or something but... Well, she was resistant to a lot of the weaker drugs and they didn't want to give her the strong painkillers painfully for her. The flowers presented against her slightly, as if they could hear her thoughts, she hated flowers, the red of the walls reminded her of the blood-sucking blooms rooted into her.

She scuffled forward to go to the cafeteria, good she hoped she wouldn't get lost somewhere as simple as this, a pained noise slipped out of her maw as she stepped forward, she wished they had given her a cane or something, learning how to walk on hooves wasn't easy, especially when delirious from fever, she wished something would change, even a little.

Sam watched as Fever struggled along, keeping quiet as if he didn't care, though he really did. Her voice sounded strangled, as if she were struggling to speak as she replied to his question. He took note not to ask too many questions, he didn't want to cause her pain by forcing her to speak.

He wasn't sure what normal meant to Fever, but at least she didn't say horrible. On the other hand, she looked horrible. Maybe he would try to get her a small chocolate. He didn't usually do that with subjects he didn't know well, but at this point he just wanted to help her as much as he could, which wasn't much at all. Sometimes they had small bricks of chocolate in the staff cafeteria room, so if he could sneak one to her with her meal that should work. It's not like he would be killed if he was caught, maybe put on more night shifts, but they've been putting him on nightshifts anyway.

Sam gently smiled as she returned the question, "No, not sick. If I start feeling ill I'll tell someone. I'm doing well though, thanks for asking."

He didn't ask more questions as they continued, his steps following close behind her though still far enough away that he was following safety protocols. The cafeteria room door approached, and he started moving towards it, walking to Fever's side instead of behind her. He pointed to an orange patch on the ground.

"Please stand there and don't move while I unlock your containment chamber." He said before making his way around her, never coming closer then 2 feet.

Sam passed a few containment chambers before reaching the one labeled with Fevers name, which he took out another key card to unlock. The cafeteria chamber was about half the size of the permanent chamber, being made of an unnaturally sturdy see through material. The 'glass' looked into the tier 2 and 1 subject cafeteria, a small speaker being implemented in the glass to allow them to speak to others. The only object in the chamber was a metal chair and table bolted to the floor. For safety he returned the key card back to his locked pouch before waving her over.

"Go straight into the containment chamber and sit near the back wall as I lock the door.... Also, what would you like to eat for breakfast? Right now we're serving oatmeal, pancakes, and eggs... If you have any dietary needs please tell me before I go to get you're food."
