Thread: A Religious Madman (Churchw/Fisticuffs)

RE A Religious Madman The sounds coming from within the patient's room number 253 according to the slightly raised black numbers over the door were hardly more than barbaric. The doctor had warned Lucas that the patient was unstable. That was barely the right word for the creature hidden behind for white walls. A series of better words scrolled through his mind as he stood outside the door. Unhinged was a particular favorite. However, the word 'forgotten' seemed to settle over the entire situation quite snugly. Lucas, bored of his idle thoughts, turned his attention to the motions of the people walking through the hallways. As mad laughter filled the air, hardly a one of the white clothed individuals flinched as they walked past. All in a days work to them madness and the like. Lucas smiled a thin smile to a woman stepping past. She gave him an uncertain smile in return, followed by a wide girth she hardly realized she had made. There was a string of curses coming from inside the room now that caught Lucas' attention. His eyes turned in time to see the young idiot doctor stepping out of the room. His lovely white coat splattered with red and his hands pressed together to stop a wound from spilling further crimson. Black eyes lighted on the doctors hands as the man spoke between guttural curses. He's agitated today. The doctor spoke with a brief glance over his shoulder. Lucas' nostrils flared briefly at that. The doctor was scared. Lucas could smell it on him, in his blood. You probably should wait until- The doctors words were cut off as Lucas' hand stretched up to grip the doctor's shoulder. No need. Lucas' voice came out smooth and easy, his words curled into the doctor's ear, influencing thoughts without realization, Today is a perfect day. Right... The shorter man seemed to agree with reserved hesitation. Again he looked over his shoulder, this time a flash of fear jumped into his eyes. The angel frightened him. Good. Well make it quick. I'll leave Larry and Charles there to keep him still. The sedation only goes so far. He waved his hand before he remembered he was squeezing off the bite. He quickly clamped his hand back down and muttered something about stitches. Lucas couldn't be bothered to remember. His need of the doctor was past. He released the man before his eyes turned to the door. His fingers slid along the white paint as he stepped forward and into the room, his black eyes taking in the dimensions and the colors and the very feel of the room first. White walls made of cinder blocks. with nothing protruding from them. Clean white floor, save for the drops of blood the doctor not so willingly gave. There was a bed on the floor with no frame, nor blanket. Lucas doubted it had any springs in it as well but the concept bored him from testing his theory. The two men stood opposite Lucas as they pressed a body between them against the wall. They used excess strength to do it as the body was sedated as well as weaker than the two of them. They probably caused discomfort on purpose because they didn't consider the man they held to be fully human. They probably hurt a lot of the patients here whether they deserved it or not. A smile split Lucas' expression as he observed all this with his black eyes. Equally black hair hung neatly to frame his face before being pulled back and folded into a braid that met his shoulder blades. His clothes were neat and proper with a dark suit hidden under an overcoat that swept his calves. It was winter after all. Thats enough of that, boys. He spoke smoothly as he stepped forward, I would like to speak in private, if you don't mind. One of the men put up some protest that Lucas couldn't be bothered to listen to. A dark shadow flickered across the room and the men hesitated in their denial. Suddenly, Lucas should speak to the patient alone. It made perfect sense. They gave their warnings to Lucas. Simon was sedated but that hardly did anything to stop him. They warned Lucas of the biting and the fighting and the.. well.. it was a rather long list and Lucas waved them off before they could properly get into it. They gave him five minutes, promising to check up on them in that time. They warned Simon and honestly why hadn't they gone yet? Lucas was losing his patience. Finally, the door slid shut. Finally, they were alone. Lucas turned his eyes upon Simon and he smiled, ... hi there.
