arrival - still open

It's possibly not as surprising as it should be, coming into awareness far enough underwater that the pressure in her ears almost hurts and she can't see what's around her. One moment, she's lying down with a headache, a mild anti-inflamatory and a glass of water. The next, her head is clear and the water is murky and everywhere. There's weight on her back, straps, she shucks them quickly. The boots, waterlogged and heavy, won't come off as easily. She skips that and begins kicking for the surface. Her hands find a wall quickly, and she pushes off, hoping to use the momentum to get her to the surface, only to be brought up short by something else. So it's not wide, only deep. She points herself straight up, struggles toward what she can now see is a small patch of weak light.

By the time she breaks the surface, the headache is back. She knows it will pass, though. It's not much work to heave herself out of the fountain and onto the stone path, lying on her back, arms above her head, sucking in deep breaths to clear her head. She takes a brief inventory. She has no injuries, sturdy boots, black hospital scrubs. Or perhaps another dark colour and they only look black because she's soaked. The weather is mild, wherever she is. Not dark enough yet to see any stars for help in determining her exact location.

exploring

The way out is not back through the fountain. That would have been too easy. So all that leaves is every other conceivable options, and quite a lot of ground to cover. She starts with the buildings closest to the fountain - the blacksmith, the police station, the inn, then over to the the butcher and baker, and further along that road to the hospital, schoolhouse, and town hall. She doesn't go looking for people specifically, not right away - just for the lay of the land. She works her way out further, traveling down winding roads, counting out houses and making mental note of which seem to be occupied and which appear deserted. Every path out of town brings her up short, and adds to her frustration. There is a way out, she just can't find it. That doesn't sit well with her. None of this does.

"Not particularly. You just...didn't look like you were injured or anything, but if you were I didn't want to waste time out here with this bucket of water," Rory stated, shifting his grip on the bucket. He'd been planning to actually give the hospital a good cleaning since it was patient free at the moment, but that could always wait if someone needed to be seen.

"Or if you have any medical knowledge, we could always use more hands on deck," he added, not really sure why anyone would want to explore the hospital.

Unfortunately, a hotel sewing kit is almost a luxury item around here. Rory tried not to feel flustered, but he'd already gotten off on the wrong foot. Oh well, he was used to talking himself both into and out of situations and it wasn't like this was necessarily a life or death one. At least not yet, he honestly never knew when things could turn any more and he liked to brace himself for anything if he could.

"No, I suppose you don't, but it would determine how I would need to respond to you," Rory said. He turned the sign to 'IN' and opened the door for her, "Thankfully we haven't needed too many patch jobs yet. But given human nature I imagine it's only a matter of time."

"Well...I don't want to ignore you persay, but I hope you don't mind me getting things in order if you want to look around while I do so or ask me questions. My name's Rory, I don't believe I've seen you around before," Rory replied. He waited for her to follow him in and then set the bucket down so he could start washing down some of the surfaces. At a normal hospital they would have janitorial staff for this--but here even this task is done by those who put their time in the hospital. It isn't like they have a constant barrage of patients though, so he doesn't mind the work as it is something to do.

"No, I suppose it's not cozy, but it's about the level of weird I'm used to dealing with in my life at this point."
