Action/Dictated

[Carson was in the clinic when the power went out, and when he heard the evacuation orders, and as soon as he does, he's standing up immediately, walking out and up the stairs. As he walks, he has his journal out.]

Good afternoon, everyone. I'm the floor captain for floor six, Dr. Carson Beckett. Could everyone please come out of their rooms and meet in the hallway? Can you also bring candles, torches, anything that can give off some light.

Those residents not in their rooms, can I ask if you can go to the Ballroom immediately. And, everyone? Stay calm. Please.

---

[And to the castle in general.]

Anyone requiring medical attention should know that the clinic is still open. Anyone who can't find their way to the clinic should report their last known location to myself or a member of the clinic staff. Someone will be with you as soon as we can.

[This done, Carson finally realises the creepy noises going on, the creaks and groans. He's trying to ignore them, but he's obviously spooked]

((OOC: Open to all who want to come across him on the way to the Sixth floor and the Ballroom.))

And what is it you wish us to assemble for, Dr. Beckett?

Agent Carolina has initiated the evacuation protocol. Residents are asked to assemble in the ballroom. It's just a wee precaution because of the-

[There's an audiable creak over the journal, and when Carson speaks again, he sounds spooked]

B-Because of the power going out.

[lord_wizard]

Commendable. But I won't be joining you.

[He's spooked too, but it's manifesting in the form of being a dick]

[melodist]

[There's a serious-looking girl wandering down the hall with her staff clutched in both hands. She could be patrolling, or looking for someone, but it seems nerves have gotten to her, too.

Military training or not, she's on edge. A castle ghost wanders blithely by-- and sends Tear into a fit of squealing and whimpering, ducking against the wall until it's gone.

How embarrassing.]

That's your choice-

[Another creak and a slight yelp.]

Bloody hell!

[lord_wizard]

[dryly] Yes, I'm sure that attitude will calm everyone on our floor immensely.

If you like, however, I can assist in escorting people downstairs.

[There's the sound of a deep, calming breath.]

Aye, I know. The castle's making noises and it's... Bringing up bad memories.

That'd be appreciated. I don't think we've been introduced.

[atadiscoverer]

[At that scream, Carson's running to find out who it is. He notices that it's someone he knows by name, and walks over.]

Tear? Are you okay?

[He was crazy for a year, man, he feels ya. He won't ask, but he feels ya]

Felix Harrowgate.

[melodist]

[She straightens immediately, still looking freaked out but very adamant. And a bit ridiculous.]

I-I'm fine! There's nothing wrong at all!

[atadiscoverer]

Are you sure? Nothing wrong?

[He's genuinely being concerned]

Sixth floor filter

[atadiscoverer]

Thank you for offering, Mr. Harrowgate.

Sixth floor filter

[lord_wizard]

Not a problem.

[He might be cooperating with the evacuation plan, but he has his own objectives, which include attempting to be helpful.]

I'm in 626, for when you arrive.

1/3

[melodist]

[She practically shrieks:]

I said I'm fine!

2/3

[melodist]

[Er.]

3/3

[melodist]

... I'm sorry. I should-- I should go.

[Dictated/Action]

[atadiscoverer]

I'll be there in a wee bit.

[Five minutes, to be exact. He knocks on Felix's door.]

Re: 3/3

[atadiscoverer]

No, uh... It's understandable

[He was a bit shocked by that shriek]

A-Are you looking for someone?

[melodist]

[Most people would be, considering how she usually conducts herself.]

... Y-- yes, I wanted to check up on someone who lives in Satis Tower.

[atadiscoverer]

If you want, I can come with you once I get everyone to the ballroom.

[melodist]

[She doesn't want to be alone right now, but she doesn't want to be a burden either. It's best that she gets to Luke and makes sure he's okay before doing anything else.

She's a soldier. She can handle it.]

Thank you, but that won't be necessary.

[atadiscoverer]

You sure? It's no trouble.

[melodist]

I'm sure. [She needs to do this for herself, stubborn lady that she is.]

[atadiscoverer]

[He nods]

Stay in contact over the journal, if you want someone to talk to.

[longaevus]

I'm in the clinic, I can get those too and from it whom should need it.
