*falls asleep*
*wakes up*

<--- Chris

*falls asleep*
*wakes up*

<--- Shades

*falls asleep*
*wakes up*
*stretches*

[Kex]

At least in one post this time ... can't you just assume there was no night? There is no rule that says this thread is bound to real time

<--- Podarge

*anxiously looks out of the window to check if the spider is already there*

[chrisman]

Much easier, so I don't have the characters doing nothing while everything happens. So they are asleep until I'm back, and I didn't say they woke up the next day .

<--- Chris

*looks around*
*Sees a spider*
*runs towards the lab*

[Kex]

But you also do it when nothing happens

<--- Podarge

*sees Chris running*
*works hard to move the cupboard aside to let Chris in*

[chrisman]

I'll stop that then

<--- Chris

*runs around the lab*
*finds an open window*
*jumps through an open window*
*closes the window*

[Kex]

I'd say, just do it when really something happened meanwhile

<--- Podarge

*puzzled as she hears Chris behind her*
*moves the cupboard back to its place to block the door*

[chrisman]

Like a giant spider?

<--- Shades

*lying on the floor*

[Kex]

<--- Podarge

*leans against the cupboard, coughing* You - okay? *coughs*

[chrisman]

<--- Chris

Yes

[Kex]

<--- Podarge

*the pressure in her chest reaches an unbearable climax*
*drops to her knees*
*everything around her gets grey*

*suddenly notices a shadowy figure lying on the bed and writhing in pain*
*stands up and gets towards the figure* Vivian? *feels pity and remorse* I wasn't here when you needed help! *puts arms around the shadowy figure and gently hugs her*

<--- Shadow Vivian

*writhing decreases at the touch*
*almost smiling*
*breathing ceases*

<--- Podarge

*shocked* Vivian? Vivian! *everything gets blurrier and blurrier every minute*
*sees herself coming in and changing the wet towels*
*watches herself knocking Angelica out of the backroom of the lab*
*watches Angelica caring for Vivian and putting the oxygen mask on while her self leaves the lab*
*watches some sparks causing a fire which finally reaches the oxygen cylinder*
*as it explodes, gets tossed backwards*

*awakes on the floor, still fighting to breathe normally and to relax her chest, and the shadows gone*
*looks up at the table where the two boxes with the pills are lying, so close, yet unreachable*

[chrisman]

<--- Chris

*looks in shock*
*gets the pills Podarge are trying to get*
*puts it in her hand*

[Kex]

<--- Podarge

*quickly takes some pills*
*waits for them to work*

*after a while, slowly sits up* Thanks! That was close!

[chrisman]

<--- Chris

I bet.

[Kex]

<--- Podarge

*looks at the window* Would you close it please?

[chrisman]

<--- Chris

*closes the window*
