“Room 312. Room 312.” Valerie chanted under her breath as she approached the apartment complex. The note stuck to her door said her services were needed here at 9:15 sharp. A house visit she supposed. Was this normal around here? Valerie couldn't help but wonder. After all, she was new to this community. But, a client was a client. They likely had their reasons. Valerie shook her head and continued to the 3rd floor.[break][break]
Why a house call? Valerie could only imagine some sort of puncture wound or broken bone. If it was the former, Val was prepared; as for the latter, she may have to bring them back to her clinic. Antiseptics? Check. Gauze? Check. Bandages? Check. [break][break]
The elevator opened with ding!, and Valerie stepped into a surprisingly empty hallway. The incandescent lights flickered uncertainly. Taking a deep breath, Valerie followed the sign for rooms 301-315. [break][break]
As if the lack of human presences wasn't creepy enough, Val couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching her. Several time she stopped and looked behind her, only to see the sun shining through the window on the other end of the hallway. Her second clue was when she reach the room. There wasn't a conventional doorknob; the solid wooden door had some sort of metal bar on the outside and holes for some sort of lock. On the other side of the door, there were only a few holes for the screws that would hold a doorknob in place. [break][break]
Someone was already inside. Valerie walked closer. He seemed young, maybe college age? Val took in his appearance. The rough sort she supposed. She looked him over again. Apart from being slightly pale and tired, he didn't seem to Be injured or sick enough to warrant a house call. Valerie frowned. As she opened her mouth to ask who he was, the door behind her slammed shut and a click was heard.[break][break]

[attr="class","REVOLUTIONIST"]  YOU'RE A NATURALA BEATING HEART OF STONE, YOU GOTTA BE SO COLD TO MAKE IT IN THIS WORLDUgh... He was fucking tired. Pulled a late nighter the evening before tryna hack into the system of a well known company for blackmail information. He had been successful but only just. And now a buddy or two had asked for his help with something, said something about a crashed computer? But they wouldn't give any proper details of what was wrong. He remembered staring at them like they'd grown tentacles and offered to help them with it later. But no, they insisted.
Well fucking fine jackasses. So he made his way up to the top and narrowed his eyes at the creepily run down decor. Something more was definitely going on. What the hell? He slowly made his way to the proper room and stared at the door and it's strange lock system for nearly a minute before he made the decision to finally step inside. He closed the door behind him and took a look around. The place was a mess and it was incredibly dusty. It almost made him want to clean the room instead of work on a bloody computer.
But as his eyes searched the room more he couldn't find any type of computer system. There was nothing to suggest that anyone had been here in years, in fact. When the door opened again he spun around and even though the first person he saw was a stranger, the one he saw closing the door wasn't. "Hey, don't you fucking-" The door shut before he could swirve around the older female and slam into the door behind her. "Hey Assholes! Open the fucking door!" He rammed his fists against it for about 30 seconds before he realized this was just his life now. "Fuck you guys!"
Then he leaned over to inspect where the doorknob should be. He'd forgotten all about the other person in the room.

Before she had a chance to say anything, the red-headed male had turned, shouting obscenities while rushing to the door. Valerie jumped out of the way. Up close, it was apparent this boy was far younger than herself, though his language and the faint smell of cigarettes that came from him would suggest otherwise. Her frown deepened. Here was a kid who cared little for his own health, and who’d evidently forgotten she’d existed. Valerie watched as he first pounded on the door, then stopped to examine where the doorknob should be. [break][break]
It’s probably locked from the outside, at least that’s what it sounded like. So unless you can break down the door, I don’t think it’s going to open. Valerie shrugged and turned to look at the interior of the room. There was one window, though the glass looked decently thick. All furniture in the room was either bolted to the ground or built into the house. As for the wallpaper, there were some brown stains oddly reminiscent of blood, but Valerie didn’t want to dwell on those. In short, it was obvious nobody had cleaned the place in years, and who knows how long it had been since anyone lived here. [break][break]
Since it didn’t seem like they were getting out anytime soon, Valerie sat down on the bed. She turned to face the male. “Seeing as we’ll be here a while, care to introduce who you are?” It was only after she’d spoken that she realized how condescending she sounded. Oh well, he was a child in her eyes. Crossing her legs, Valerie waited for a response.

[attr="class","REVOLUTIONIST"] YOU'RE A NATURALA BEATING HEART OF STONE, YOU GOTTA BE SO COLD TO MAKE IT IN THIS WORLDWhen you grew up on the streets and in foster homes where you'd get locked up in sheds when you did something your fake parents didn't like, you start to get really suspicious of being locked in rooms by yourself or with people you don't know. This was how Simeon was feeling right now. Stressed and overwhelmed because he had NO IDEA what the motivation of this ordeal was. Even if it was just a prank, Simeon had to know. He could see his fingers begin to shiver from the fear and uncertainty. But he kept them moving to keep any sight of them out of focus.
"No shit Sherlock." He muttered darkly to himself. But it was when she asked for him to introduce himself that he really got stressed. It was in this moment that he realized his gun and computer were not with him. Why hadn't he brought them? He did. He remembered bringing his back pack. But where was it? He turned from the door and scanned the room around him. Not here. Not here? Where the fuck was it then? He could feel the stress begin to overwhelm him and he wished with all his heart that he had a cigarette right now.
He moved away from the door and headed over to the closed window to see if there was anything he could do in order to open it. With practiced eyes he studied the glass and the frame around it, searching for anything he could use to open it and at least get some air in this room he was in. "Wouldn't it be more productive for us to find a way out before anything else? Assuming this really is a prank after all and not something more sinister than that."
A sharp glare was sent in her direction, but only for a moment as he continued moving around the room to look for any other possible way out. The only room he felt comfortable being locked up in was his own computer lab. There at least he knew he was safe.

CREATION
[attr="class","snakeEyesBody"]
The kid was nervous - scared, no doubt. Valerie couldn't tell if that was because he was stuck in a room, or if it was because he was alone with some random (herself). Probably both. Valerie would comfort him, but she didn't think that would help. Judging from his constant movement/fidgeting and the short flare he sent her, he wasn't going to introduce himself. [break][break]
Sighing, Valerie got up. Tucked neatly into the corner between the short side of the bed and the wall was a backpack, presumably the boy's. On the bed above it was Valerie's bag. She spoke as she moved. “Well, I'm Valerie Li. Nice to meet you. I'm a doctor -” Valerie picked up their bags and set the down next to Simeon. “With a small practice of my own. Here. You can look through these and see if there's anything that might help. I think this backpack is yours? And the canvas bag would be mine. It's filled with medical necessities.” She stood up and tucked her hair behind her ears. “I'll go check in the bathroom.” Perhaps the kid would be less stressed if she was out of sight. [break][break]
She walked into the connected room and quickly noted that there was no window, only an old looking bathtub and a toilet. There were built in drawers under the sink. She decided to go through them; maybe there would be something helpful? The top drawer was empty. Val reached for the second one down. When she pulled, she used a little more force than she intended. The wood must have been really old and not used in many many years because when she pulled, the drawer can't right off of its rails and fell to the floor. Valerie moved out of the way but not fast enough. The drawer landed on one of her feet and got there for with a loud bang! [break][break]
“Jesus Christ!” Valerie hopped on one foot. Lucky for her, the drawer was empty. Worst case scenario, she'd have a bruise tomorrow.[break][break]

[attr="class","REVOLUTIONIST"] YOU'RE A NATURALA BEATING HEART OF STONE, YOU GOTTA BE SO COLD TO MAKE IT IN THIS WORLDIt was strange really. She walked over set his backpack down next to him and then said that she was going to the bathroom. He glanced in her direction and stopped what he was doing as she walked away. He was a jerk. It didn't help that this situation was freaking him the hell out. But he took a deep breath and grabbed his backpack. Where was his... Ah! There it was. He pulled out his pack of cigarettes, pulled one out and then sat there staring at it. Oh how he wanted it. Oh how his nerves begged him for it. But he put it back in the box and sat against the wall to breathe.
It was the crash that brought the panic screaming back. And he quickly stood up, grabbed the gun from his pack and raced over to the bathroom. After only a few seconds of taking in the situation, the drawer on the floor, Valerie hopping on a single foot, Simeon had to admit that there probably was no way out for a reason. He felt his fingers flexing on his 9mm pistol and he took another deep breath to calm himself.
"Are you... Are you alright Valerie?" After a few moments he said, "It's Simeon."

[attr="class","snakeEyesBody"]
Hearing the kid run over, Valerie knew that she had succeeded in startling the boy. Exactly the opposite of what she intended to do. Curse her clumsiness. As Simeon entered the room, Valerie carefully put her foot down. She looked up at the boy. [break][break]
Her eyes widened. He was obviously very shaken, judging from his breathing, the gun in his hand, and the way he spoke. Valerie’s first reaction was to step back a little. Semi-automatically, she put her hands in the air. Seeing as he made no movement to shoot her, Valerie could only assume that grabbing the gun was a nervous reaction. She slowly lowered her hands, but kept them in sight by folding them in front of her torso. Valerie let out a nervous laugh; she really needed to be more careful.[break][break]
Tucking a stray hair behind her ear, she responded. “Nice to meet you Simeon. And yeah, I'm fine, thanks for asking. The only thing hurt was my dignity.” Valerie smiled, it was a joke. She didn't really care, but she hoped Simeon would calm down a little. Val glanced at the gun a couple times but decided not to say anything about it. “So… I didn't find anything in the bathroom except these drawers. Seeing as this one is already out, want to try to smash to window with it?” Valerie waited for Simeon to make the first move.

[attr="class","REVOLUTIONIST"] YOU'RE A NATURALA BEATING HEART OF STONE, YOU GOTTA BE SO COLD TO MAKE IT IN THIS WORLDHe really needed to calm down. Tell himself that he wasn't in any danger. He took another deep breath and moved away from the door to go back to his backpack. "You can try, but I'm not sure if it will work." He replaced his gun back into its place in his pack and moved to one of the couches with both their pack's in tow. He wasn't giving up, but perhaps it was more important for him to relax and clear his mind for a few moments.
So he sat down and took a few moments to focus and think logically rather than emotionally. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with his fingers. "Ohkay, this is a prank. You saw the face closing the door. They thought it would be funny. Why would they lock you and someone you don't know in a room together? To see reactions? Are there cameras? What are they expecting? Assuming Valerie is who she says that she is, what is the best way to get out of this situation? Play along?
That made sense. For some reason. Logically this entire scenario didn't even compute in his mind. He'd been locked in too many rooms with no way out too many times. If what he had to do to get out was put a mask on and play along until he found the cameras then he would. Pulling out his computer would be something he would do. To try and get a signal. But what if there was no signal here? They locked everything else. No... There had to be. If they were watching and/or listening to this live, then there had to be some kind of connection wireless or not.
He knew what to do. He grabbed his bag and pulled out a cigarette again and this time there was no hesitation in lighting it. They wanted a reaction. He would give them a reaction. She was a doctor right? Well he was a self medicater. It was time to self medicate his stress. The tabaco would handle it for him, and he'd get a reaction. Probably.

Valerie blinked. That was not what she was expecting. But hey, if he didn’t want to, then so be it. As they walked back into the main room, Valerie took the drawer with her. She looked at the window, then back at the drawer. Simeon was probably right, it probably wouldn’t work. And even if it did, what then? Surely glass would go flying, which would almost definitely hurt someone. Flying glass could lead to serious eye injury. In her mind, she noted that they were both wearing glasses, but Valerie knew that wouldn’t actually help much. Then even if they did break the window, they were on the third floor. Jumping out wouldn’t be an option. [break][break]
Valerie went through possibilities in her head. Maybe they could force it open from the frame? Or Maybe the drawer actually would be enough to break the window? It was an old house after all. If they did break it, perhaps they could use the sheets here, or something to make a sort of rope, allowing one person to get down. Then that person could come back up and help open the door from the outside? Valerie looked at the drawer again. The old wood looked back at her, silently screaming not to be thrown. [break][break]
Perhaps she was looking at this wrong. Maybe there was some other way to get out of here. The door was definitely not an option. From the weight of the door when she entered, it was probably solid wood. Valerie looked around. Of course! The drywall. That couldn’t be too strong. Thinking about it, she started looking around the room. As she turned around to face Simeon, her eyes widened. Oh hell no. As a rather impulsive person - and definitely one who sticks her nose in everyone’s business - Valerie immediately responded. By snatching the cigarette out of his mouth. And burning herself in the process. [break][break]
Reflexively, she dropped the offending object. Gingerly, she picked it up again. Making sure nothing was burning or on fire and sending a sharp glare at Simeon, Valerie stalked off to the bathroom to dispose of the cigarette and rinse her burnt hand. [break][break]
When she came back, Valerie decided that scolding him now wasn’t going to help. If anything, it would probably provoke him more. She went to her bag and searched through it. Humming to herself, Valerie soon triumphantly pulled out a bag of hard candies. Remembering Simeon’s cautious behavior earlier, she popped a strawberry flavored candy into her own mouth first. With a smile, she wordlessly offered the bag to Simeon.

[attr="class","REVOLUTIONIST"] YOU'RE A NATURALA BEATING HEART OF STONE, YOU GOTTA BE SO COLD TO MAKE IT IN THIS WORLDIt took her a moment to realize what was happening, and sure it wasn't enough to fully relax him, but even the sensation of sticking the cigarette to his lips brought a moment of comfort. He'd almost forgot why he took it out in the first place when she finally reacted. The sudden hand in his face did more than just startle him, as he flinched back blood pressure rising through the roof. He'd been in the middle of a drag and suddenly started choking on the smoke.
Even after he cleared out his lungs it was still much harder to breathe than before. Internal alarms were flaring in his head but all he could do was curl into himself for protection against any other unnecessary hits. Of course they never came. He peeked up from his defense just as Valerie came back out of the bathroom.
She made her way back over to him, her hand reaching for her backpack. He watched her intently as she rummaged through and pulled out a bag of hard candy. She popped one into her own mouth, probably to show him it was safe, and then offered the bag to him. Danger, danger, Not safe, not safe! He could feel his hands shaking again. Uncertainty and anger flaring from within. Why? Why did this have to happen? He needed his cool, chill demeanor back.
With a tight chest and a forced blank expression Simeon smacked the bag away and then stood up and walked over to the window, taking his backpack with him. Just some air? He needed air. Or water, or a cigarette, or anything. Screw acting. He wanted out. Sitting on the floor, Simeon pulled out his laptop and began to type. Where were the cameras? Where were the- No connection? But there had to be- Of course. They were probably in the room next to them or three doors down or something, watching on a local server he couldn't get access to without connecting in.
Were they having a good laugh? If so, he was going to kill them all when he got out.

[attr="class","snakeEyesBody"]
And this was why Val wasn’t a psychologist, or doing any other job that required emotional intelligence. It wasn’t that she didn’t like people - she did - it was just that she often couldn’t express it correctly. Val tended to force her expectations on others, like now. Somehow she wasn’t too surprised by Simeon’s reaction. She simply stared at him before sighing and picking up the fallen candies. The kid paid her no attention and sat over by the window. Putting another candy in her mouth, Val stared at Simeon. Would it kill him to be a little friendlier? [break][break]
She crossed her legs and sat with her chin on her hand. The boy in front of her was typing away furiously, an unpleasant and very serious expression on his face. What was he up to? Val considered walking over and looking over his shoulder. No, that would probably make him even more jumpy. [break][break]
Valerie hummed. Was there anything she could do that wouldn’t make him jumpy? Now that she thought about it, probably not. Unless she was to sit in one spot and do nothing. And that didn’t sound like something she wanted to do. She stared at him a little longer. Why should he dictate what she does anyway? Valerie got up and stretched. “So Simeon.” She paused. “What are you up to? Figure anything out yet?” Even if he didn’t, Valerie wasn’t going to sit still much longer.
