Back at the Convoy

[Taliesin]

"Was it?" Taliesin asked Daniel, quietly.

[Reaper]

"They never knew what happened to them." Reaper said as she walked in to the room, doing her best to keep the surviving children stable.

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel just kept looking at the room silently. Eventually, though, he nodded, his face still devoid of expression.

[Will Stanton]

The shambling mound made it's way into the room, trying to lie up against a wall, and failing, as it oozed.

[Taliesin]

"Good. Then let's get the hell out of here."

[Will Stanton]

A face appeared out of the blob for a second, as Will grabbed onto a table, desperately.

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel sighed, then walked over to a closet, rummaging around until he found a decent-sized plastic tub. "Here. Relax," he said, sliding it across the floor toward Will.

[Will Stanton]

"fcky" was his reply, as he staggered back out of the door.

[Daniel Uriel]

"Or just ooze all over the place," Daniel muttered. "God, I can't wait to be working with a real team again." Still, with this distraction gone, he seemed to stay rooted in place, watching the relocation as the babies were searched through for the ones that were still alive.

[Taliesin]

"See ya around, Danny boy," Taliesin said, leaving.

[Reaper]

"I think we've done enough here." Reaper said, heading for the door.

[Robert West]

Rob tossed the glove in the back of the truck, "Piece of junk..."

[Daniel Uriel]

Daniel waited for her to go, waited for the weird magic-things being sent to move the living babies to all be finished, until he was the last thing breathing in the room. Even then, he just stood there, looking over the grim scene, apparently impassively, for a while, before turning to leave as well with only two words to the eerie silence behind him.

"I'm sorry."

[Will Stanton]

Will staggered for the convoy, with each step getting a little more solid.

And shorter.

And rounder.

And flatter.

[Sara Stanton]

Having anxiously waited at the convoy Sara spots people returning and runs (okay, waddles) towards Will.

"What happened? Are you okay?"

[Will Stanton]

"hlpm" was his intelligent reply, as all the liquid in his body turned to gel, and he flopped to the ground, rapidly approaching a very thick pizza-shape.

[Daniel Uriel]

"Hey, I offered to carry you back," Daniel said without slowing as he walked past.

[Sara Stanton]

"Like he'd ever take anyone up on that voluntarily..." she tells Daniel's back and starts rolling Will up into something that's easier to pick up.

[Taliesin]

"You offered to put him in a tupperware," Taliesin clarified, walking past. "While looking over your handiwork."

[Daniel Uriel]

"And now he gets to ooze all over the van. Also, fuck off," Daniel answered quietly to Taliesin. He started climbing into the truck, then just kept going until he was sitting on top of it.

[Taliesin]

"A, he's solid, and B, he probably couldn't recognize you right now if you screamed your life story at him, and C, your enmity is deeply satisfying."

[Skeiron]

Having gotten there in time to see everything for himself, Skeiron walked back to the convoy in total since, searched the back of the truck he had been riding in, and pulled out a bottle of wine he brought from the Crystal Palace. And he started working on drinking the whole damned thing.

[Rick Ferguson]

The combination of the creepy nurses and orderlies, the dead babies, and seeing Nina turn out to be such an absolute monster left Rick with the creeps as he headed back. He couldn't even contain a slight shiver as he neared the convoy.

[Will Stanton]

Will was much lighter than he should have been, and warm to the touch, but otherwise stationary.

Rolling him proved rather difficult, due to the thickness.

[Robin Stanton]

"Let me get that for you." Robin says as she kneels down next to Sara and picks Will up to carry him to the car for her.

[Taliesin]

Taliesin slid into the back of a car, and waited.

[Reaper]

"Were we all that stupid, or is it just him?" Reaper asked, sitting down next to Taliesin in the van.

[Taliesin]

"Not just him, but he seems to have gotten a triple dose. And it might have killed me."

[John Hino]

John climbed back into his vehicle, barely resisting the urge to throw up. He had never before seen such bloody carnage.

[Stan Bowen]

Stan got into a cargo space in a truck towards the end of the convoy, away from the others.

Looking around to make sure he was alone, he then started crying.

[Dead End]

"So, are we done orphaning children for the second time, then?"

The radio voice was curt and irritable.

[Taliesin]

"Affirmative. Let's get the hell out of here."

[Dead End]

"Head northeast. The flatscans going apeshit, and the hospital being torn in half is the best distraction you're going to get. Next stop, the RRR."
