"Now?" Jack said as he looked over the wardrobe closet and especially the hanger inside it. The key was still stuck firmly in the tub but he did not trust the weird stranger enough to reveal this. If only Max was there. He'd know how to quietly and efficiently handle this matter. Still nothing from him. Jack was getting seriously worried.
"Hey, have you seen anyone else here?," Jack incquired. "Not sure," the man replied with an eerie expression on his face.
Jack held his tongue for a little while as he starred towards the bathtub.
"I need a hand. Care to help?," he asked as he pointed towards the tub

(OOC: Lol Jason's been pretty much stuck to the wall in the hallway all this time. Is it possible to have a current position for each character during the turn's end/begining?) Jason didn't know these people and for that reason alone he was loathe to even interact with them. Of course one man had come up to him and spoke. It was an uncomfortable experience and even after with hopes that someone else would be looking for Mr Teddy he still felt the anxiousness in his wringing hands. The people weren't acting much different then from the ones he knew in the asylum. Craziness was like the devil, it had the twisting of sanity within it. As everyone began dispersing, Jason felt a pang of worrying loneliness. His body sparked with warning. To stay with the pack meant safety. Jason latched onto someone and followed from a distance. (feel free to have him follow whomever, or I'll sort it out myself next post.) EDIT: (HE WAS IN ROOM 606!)

Kierra kept searching rooms and came upon a room that looked untouched.
Room 704, the door was hidden behind a mural.
The door surprisingly was unlocked, and she walked in. It was cleaner than the other rooms, and had newer things in it, while the other rooms had furnishings that were falling apart. The light was brighter in here, and there was no creepy sounds in it.
She didn't know if this was because someone was living in here or not, regardless, no one was here now. She searched the entire room from top to bottom, opening drawers and moving around furniture. the window in here opened, and she felt the breeze on her face, the taste of freedom was close.
Below was darkness, and she saw no real way of climbing out it, maybe if she could make a rope of sorts. Until then, she would search the hotel further more, and remember this room for the future.
Kierra left the room to go and see if any of the others had any news on their situation. She hated not knowing, it drove her crazy.

Even though Riiko and Jim were speaking quietly, they woke Jordan up. He seemed alert and pleased to meet Jim
"How are you doing?" he asked amicably "have you met Riiko? Oh, deluxe! You found the vodka and anti-biotics!"
Jordan took a pill and before anyone could stop him, he chased it down with a swig of vodka. Then he noticed Riiko and Jim were staring at him as if he'd started speaking in tongues
"It's no problem" he explained "I'm not allergic to any of the -cillin family." but they continued to stare, so he added "Yeah, I know you aren't supposed to take antibiotics without a prescription, but seriously..."
"That wasn't penicillin, you fool" Riiko howled "It was vicadin!!!"
"Oh" Jordan replied "Shit"

Using the hanger and with the help of the other guy sharing his name they managed to fish out a key from the bathtub. "The fuck's this?" Jack asked out loud watching at the key. "Wonder what's it from," the man said. "I bet it's from the elevator, let's see..." Jack finished and walked outside to notice some people there. "Hey!!" he yelled out approaching the elevator. He took out the key and unlocked the elevator, "That was easy" Hotel, Lower Levels: Lobby Front Desk Concierge Kiosk Bar Resturant Dining Room Resturant Lounge Moody Convention Hall Thornton Convention Hall Indoor Pool Gym Sauna Locker Room Underground Parking Garage Computer Lab Front Door (locked) "Employees Only" Door (locked)

Jack looked at the key in the other Jack's hand. Wow! He thought, and I was about to smash that bastard of a bathtub open! That would be funny! Flying bits of plaster going in every direction. Ah, just imagine that! So, just to be obnoxious, Jack got the writing desk from the other room (And thanking god it was not nailed steadfast to the ground) and he struck the bathtub with all the force he could manage.
Indeed of flying bits of plaster, the tub just split in half, cracking straight down the middle. the writing desk also broke and in the end Jack had just one of the desk legs left, and splinters in his hand. "Ha-ha, that was So worth it."
"Dude" The other Jack said, "what the fuck was that for?"
"Just makes me feel better" He said, tossing the broken desk leg into the other's hand, "Here, could use it as a weapon?"
" ... whatever" the other Jack said looking at the leg that was now in his hands and muttered something under his breath. Happy, Jack asked.
"So what are you going to do with that key?"
"It's an elevator key I think," he said. "You think we should get the others?"
Jack was not happy about this, and amazed at the fact that this other Jack, seemingly equally as taciturn as he, would say this. In time, he was inclined to agree. But ... even still, Jack did not trust them. Hell, he did not even know them, so he could not exactly trust them.
But...
What if they where in exactly the same situation as him?
Given a few minutes he said. "Sure ... let's go."

(That last comment in your previous post says it all alx, Jordan is in bad trouble IMO, but fear not help is right there. ;D BTW, due to a brief oversight by our dear and still beloved GM, I am now informed that my character's age has been changed to 34 and not 19 as it was in my original description that I posted in my opening post. Details are still being ironed out over this and I hope it can keep from having another lonely emo character, which I am sick of doing, really. And since Jim is now 15 years ahead of where I thought, he has no idea Jack is here and have deleted all mentions of him, the split personality Jack BTW, I mean. So Dwz, maybe you can enact a little reunion, I don't have the time now, going to christmas gathering soon.) ----------------------------------------------------------- Jim could not believe what he had just seen, Jordan swallowing the painkiller with a Vodka chaser. "Fvcking hell!!!" Jim rushes to to the man, whose eyes suddenly become wide as Jim grabs him by the arm and pulls him by the arm in the bathroom. "What are you doing? Let go of me you..." Before the stranger could say anymore, Jim already has the man's head over the toilet and his mouth pulled open with Jim's finger down his throat. The man fought both Jim and his reflexes at the beginning, but in the end, he gives in as he begins vomiting into the toilet. After about a minute of spewing, the blue and white gel caps come back up and with that, Jim throws Jordan down to the ground. "You stupid idiot! Don't you know anything about mixing meds with alcohol? Are you trying to kill yourself?" Jim looks down on the man, and after a while, he just shakes his head in disgust. Now dazed from the forced vomiting, the man offers no resistance as Jim picks him up on his shoulder, carries him to the main room and places him back on the bed. Jim turns to Riiko. "Watch him! Make sure he doesn't move an inch, sit on him if you have to!" Jim then heads out the room and back downstairs, to the others to try and find out what is now going on. (Don't know if this counts as first aid or whatever. Does Riiko still have the Vicadin I gave her or did Jordan just steal and then waste them? If so, Insane should have Riiko maybe pocket them just in case Jordan tries to pull another act of rockstar immortality. If it does count as a first aid, I guess I just used my turn, if not, I'm sure the next turn will start soon.)

Christian slowly moved over to a stairway - A stairway he could have sworn wasn't there Before - and looked up it's length. Nope, defintiely not a Hotel stairway - it was jagged and twisted, and there were no walls on either side - just darkness, and a jagged stairway leading up to a vivid, yet pale and dying blue. He blinked and looked back, and guess what? There was nothing but a door behind him. and it was closed. And there was no doorknob.
"Is it possible to get a Contact High from someone who should have crashed hours ago?" he asked the empty air, but the air was emptier than he thought it was, and his voice seemed to die right after it left his mouth. It seemed muffled by the time it reached his ears, even far off.
"Hello?" he called, "James? Mark? Mark?" he called, and every time he did it sounded farther and farther away. He swore, and shook his head. "What the hell?" he could barely hear himself Speak. He could barely Hear himself think...
He pause, and, looking around, descided to try something. He took a step forward, slowly at first, but then a bit more speedy yet Cautious. He moved towards the stairs at a fair pace, trying not to lose focus on putting one foot in front of the other. Finally he reached the grey, molded stairs, and he settled his foot on the first one, stepping up.
[CHUNK]
That was not smart, that was not smart! He thought furiously, bringing his foot back. He blinked, and narrowed his eyes, but he was still alive. He sighed in relief, and tried again. This time, no noise. Second step, no noise. Third step - well, a creak, but no loud, deadly sounds. He made his way up the stairs gingerly, and finally, he reached the door. He set a hand on the doorknob, taking a gulp before twisting it slowly. As he did, his mind spasmed in Anxiety, screaming OH GOD IT WILL BE LOCKED MORE LOCKED DOORS MORE LOCKED DOORS! but it clicked and slowly moaned its way open, and he breathed in, gasping for breath as suddenly-
--
"You're awake!" Mark said, standing over Christian. The older man coughed and accepted an arm helping him up. he stood and brushed off his newly found jacket, shaking his head and Looking At Mark.
"What happened?" he asked, feeling hoarse. Mark replied "I don't know, you just started mumbling then You collapsed." Christian frowned. He felt fine.
"In any case, looks like someone has the key to the Elevator. We're out!" Mark said, pretty happy. Christian could only nod and cough a few times, still completely perplexed by the Circumstances.

James had eventually made his way back to his father. He was dusty all over and.. looked a bit miffed. He was thirsty. he'd been eating his gross-tasting snow and now he was thirsty.. he wasn't wasting his newly found vodka on that... "Dad you got any water on you?" he asked, ignoring the man's confused state.
Christian shook his head. He had other things to worry about, like what had just happened.
James frowned. "... then let's get out of here and find some coffee or something.. you still like coffee, right?"

Merry Christmas!

Hotel, Lower Levels:
Lobby Front Desk Concierge Kiosk Bar Resturant Dining Room Resturant Lounge Moody Convention Hall Thornton Convention Hall Indoor Pool Gym Sauna Locker Room Underground Parking Garage Computer Lab Front Door (locked) "Employees Only" Door (locked)
As with the other rooms, the windows are still boarded up, and the walls are moaning a bit more consistantly and lights flicker out for more extended measures of time.

"Well I'll be damned," Jack said as the elevator stopped at a whole new floor with rooms left and right. "Not bad, so what do we do now?" the other Jack implied. "Beats me. I'd feel far more safer with a decent weapon though, let's split up for a bit and get back here in the lobby," Jack said.
The man shrug and nodded watching Jack walk off towards the bar, "Hey, hey, any booze you find is mine," he yelled.
Jack waved his hand in approvement and continued to the bar area.
The room was spacious and yet the damp atmosphere made it seem so small. Jack heard the elevator stop again and he watched through the stain glass who would exit it.
"Fuck no," he muttered as he realized that Jim walked out of the elevator with some other strangers. "Of all the people ... what the hell is he doing here," Jack talked half to himself half to Max. Max was still silent, no response whatsoever, it made Jack more nervious as time passed on with Max not replying to him. He turned around and faced the room.
[SEARCH] Jack combs the bar area and its shelves, behind the counter etc. [SEARCH]

((OOC: Are we going to be using the Silent Hill original game map?))
Kayla gasped loudly as Christian collapsed on the ground, she retreated away as Mark handled the situation on his own. And her patients was rewarded. The lights at top of the elevator shaft flickered softly till it aluminater the down arrow. Kayla wrinkled her nose, then leaned to the side to see around Mark. Who hit the down button? The elevator approached, letting it's decent be known with growls and creeps. Kayla stepped back ever so slightly, happy for the shield of the two other men.
The hall was long, with a carpet, rotting and decaying, down the middle. The lights hung against the hall in triangle glass illuminating corners and doors. Kayla looked down on her clothes, and dusted them off as the elevator arrived. Stopping with a loud thud. She looked up as the doors opened to a small elevator. At the most, four grown men could fit comfortable inside. Kayla gulped as she realized the tight fit.
"Coming?" Mark asked, turning around to address James, and glancing at Kayla as she only got more and more nervous. She looked up quickly to glance at James and Mark.
"I-I've never... Don't you think it's weird!? The hotels rotting under our feet but the elevators just fine?" Kayla stomped her feet in place, as though she was running, or having a tantrum. Kayla hadn't even been in an elevator before. Once when she was five she'd taken a service elevator with her grandmother. But it only went up half a flight and didn't make a sound.
Then, the light flickered. Kayla's eyes grew wider as the light flickered off for a sort few seconds, leaving them in a sudden darkness. Then before their eyes even adjusted, flickered back on. "Oh goodness..." Kayla put her hands against her cheeks in aw of just how horrible the situation kept seeming to get.

(Vio, I hope I did the right thing with helping Jordan exhume the pills from his stomach. It wasn't a unnecessary action was it?)
In-between the floors on the stairwell Jim thinks about what he had just done and begins feeling regretful. Although he was one hundred percent sure that mixing pain killers with alcohol was a dangerous combo, it was only a small swallow of alcohol. Then again, the man was severely weak, so the risk of not being strong enough to overcome any small side effects could have been high.
But still, Jim felt a pang of guilt for just dragging the man from the bed and dragging to the toilet. It must have been humiliating beyond belief for the stranger, and the comments Jim said afterwards couldn't have been any comfort either.
After sitting there for a minute, Jim goes back to the top floor and goes back to the strange man. "Look, I'm sorry for what I did and said. But I thought I was doing the right thing... I'm so sorry."
(alx, please feel free to have Jordan respond to this in anyway)
Turning to Riiko, he says, "Can you stay with him until he gets back on his feet? I'm going to go back and see if they have found a way to unlock the elevator yet."
He thinks he sees Riiko nod her head as he walks out of the room. Going back to the last floor, Jim sees that everyone has seemingly left and the floor number lights over the elevator door are own. Jim assumes that he was right about someone finally finding a way to operate it.
Jim makes his way to the elevator but stops to consider if anyone on this floor may still be here. He thinks of Jason and that small young girl that had struck him. Both of them were so afraid and were possibly hiding. If left alone, their fear would no doubt escalate and maybe they would do something drastic, he felt more sure of this with the young girl than with Jason.
Jim makes a sweep of every room, starting with room 601 and works his way down the hall, finding nothing. He wonders if perhaps they had run from the others and went to the floor above this one. Jim climbs the stairs and begins checking the rooms, the first labeled Room 701. He finds nothing in the room and then moves on to room 702.
Turning the knob, he pulls the door open and that there is a woman inside. With her black hair and violet eyes, Jim knows that he had not seen her in the crowd before. Has she been in here this whole time? He really couldn't make out any expression on her face, so they just stood in awkward silence until Jim broke the ice.
"Ummmm... Are you okay? Do you know how you got here? Do you remember anything?"
The woman only shakes her head, no.
(Feel free to add anything inbetween here, if you want or just let Jim leave on his own.)
"Anyway, I'm about to head to the elevator, I'm absolutely positive now that just about everyone is down there now. Care to follow, or do you think you'll be safer here?"
Heading from the room, (with or without the woman) Jim enters the elevator and heads down to the bottom floor.

Jordan has Moderate Wounds, he is Resting.
ADVICE: Try to include an Exploration Action in the first post of the Turn, so that your character will have a chance to find weapons, medications, and keys each turn. Then for the rest of the turn, your character can concentrate on interaction without worry, and still get the work out of the way. That way, these Areas will be finished in 2-3 turns. In addition, it will help bring substance into the posts, you are painting a picture, it doesn't have to just be just Decay in this world.
