WHERE: 6I Fountain Park & Elsewhere
WHEN: April 1
OPEN TO: ALL - Mingle
WARNINGS: N/A

---

In the snug circle of an old park, a fountain sits burbling beneath a broad, midday sky.

Once-neat paving stones have buckled and cracked from the slow nudge of wayward roots. Benches stand covered in lichen and rust. Three paths push into the underbrush like the spokes on a wheel, the encroaching forest creating lush tunnels through the dark.

But the fountain stands singular and pristine, brightly splashing in open rebellion of the deep, muffled sounds of a place long ago gone to seed. A vibration hums through the ground, there and quickly gone, and the water in the fountain trembles, lapping against the high walls of its cool, pale reservoir.

Far, far away, in a place that isn't really there, people begin to blink out of existance.

It is the first of April.

It is precisely ten o'clock in the morning.

"She will," Beverly says with conviction, though this is also more for Raleigh's sake than her own. They don't know that everyone will come through the fountain like they have. Given how many already have, it's a good bet that Sansa will as well. And hopefully she will soon, so Raleigh doesn't have quite as much to worry about.

"In the meantime, it would be better for you to get dry and into another set of clothes," she points out gently. "The next group won't be here for another fifteen minutes or so and there's no use in you getting chilled in this weather."

"You're right. I would sit here and freeze to make sure Sansa was here but she's not going to want to take care of me if I have a cold," Raleigh says, laughing a little.

"Do you think I could help you with triage? It won't take me long to get changed and I want to be useful instead of sitting around and worrying. I'm no doctor but I can at least help get people over to the hospital if I have to."

The idea of having help with triage is almost a relief to her and she nods fervently. "That would be a huge help," she admits wryly. "I think there are more medical people here, but just having someone else to help check on people and make sure no one needs any extra medical attention would be a lot of help."

Even if he just sticks around to find out if anyone has any aches or pains and shoves them in her direction would help.
