Streets of Fandom / Fandom High Camp

After Bridge's group had left the lobby, Bel gathered up everyone who remained and any stragglers who walked in late. "Okay, we're going to follow light number two," he said. "Let me just tell everyone that Marie's probably gonna be scared, so don't push her. Don't try to grab her. Really, do not touch her. We just find her and talk to her and convince her everything is okay, got it? If she runs, we follow, but we don't try to scare her anymore than she already is."


[ooc: Note - this post starts in dorms, goes into town, and winds back to the camp . . . which is why it's in Bel's LJ. Wait for OCD!]

"I know," Bel said. "We all know that. Now, why don't you let Dr. Wilson take a quick look at you. Don't worry, he won't touch you. Then I'll take you home, okay?"

Marie shook her head. "I don't want anyone too close. I just want to go back to the dorms."

"Trust me, Marie, I just want to make sure you're okay, all right?" Bel said. "He won't hurt you, and you won't hurt him. He's got gloves on. How about he doesn't touch you, just takes a look at you, okay?"

"As long as he doesn't touch me," Marie agreed after a moment.

As soon as Bel had approached him and given him the okay, with the condition of no touching, Wilson stepped forward, bending down to set his kit on the ground before sliding his hands harmlessly into his pockets.

"Hello, Marie, my name is Dr. Wilson." He said softly, careful to try to keep his gaze steady but neutral as he looked at her face. "Had a bit of a rough night I heard and a lot of folks are worried so lets see if we can't help everyone calm down and take a deep breath, okay?"

Guessing that if she was responding the way a lot of the kids, who suddenly found themselves with more than they bargined for being thrust upon them, she might like having a definite say and open control in how things progressed.

"Okay," Marie agreed softly. "I didn't get hurt at all though. None of us did."

[ooc: Making the assumption, no dripping blood anywhere, no broken looking limbs or ebil concussion like bruises. Whap me if incorrect. :)]

As he spoke to her and she answered him, Wilson did what diagnostic medicine he could from where he stood. True to her word, he didn't see any immediate physical injuries and his count of her respirations yeilded normal, if slightly elevated breaths.

Without being able to touch, heart and BP were out of the question but she was young and not showing any signs of cardiac distress.

"Okay, so just a little cold at the moment?" He asked gently. The nights were starting to get chilly, not dangerously so but a combination of physical, mental and emotional shock with a coolish night probably hadn't been too damn comfortable. Still, she sounded lucid and alert as she responded to him, all of which were good things.

"Not cold," Marie replied. "I don't want to hurt anyone."

Re: Camp

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"Of course not." Wilson said sympathetically and had to check his natural urge to reach out and give her an understanding touch on the shoulder.

Turning towards Bel to bring him into the conversation, he spoke to both of them.

"Marie, you look all right from what I can diagnose from here. Lucid, alert, no obvious broken bones or bleeding wounds, normal breath signs and her pupils are correct. Physically..." He put gentle emphisis on that word. "She looks okay."

Re: Camp

[demonbelthazor]

Bel nodded. "Thanks, doc," he said. "I'll take her home from here."

He looked around and addressed the others. "Thanks for your help, everyone. I'm going to shimmer Marie back to the dorms. I'll meet you all back there."

Re: Camp

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie gave him a wary look. "I thought you had to touch me to shimmer," she said.

Re: Camp

[demonbelthazor]

Bel pondered for a moment, then whipped off his t-shirt and wrapped it around his hand. "See, there," he said. "That'll do the trick."

Re: Camp

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"But the rest of you," she gestured vaguely.

Re: Camp

[demonbelthazor]

"You just gotta hold my hand," Bel said. "That's it."

Re: Camp

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie looked worried. "And you'll be really careful?" she asked, not liking the idea of walking all through town back to the dorms.

Re: Camp

[demonbelthazor]

"Sure," Bel said. "Just grab my hand on and hold real tight. The rest of us doesn't have to touch."

Re: Camp

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

It took Marie a minute or two to decide if she trusted Bel enough to let him touch her.

She finally reached out hesitantly and took his hand, being very careful not to let any skin touch.

Re: Camp

[demonbelthazor]

Bel gripped Marie's hand tightly through the protection of the shirt, then shimmered them back to the dorms.
