*looks up from his paperwork*

*brightly* Oh, good. *obliquely* Right on time. *nods toward the nearest door* Nienor's locked herself in, you see.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/22/2007 09:26:11

*disappointed* Oh...has she taken a turn for the worse then? What happened?

*looking around at your setup* There must fifteen fire code violations in here. And a whole building full of peeved staff. Couldn't you just break down the door?

	From: elrondmd	Date: 03/22/2007 09:29:46

*considers* You tell me. Was she speaking only in nursery rhymes the last time you saw her?

I suppose we could, but I didn't want to risk upsetting her further. Plus it sounded like she pushed every piece of furniture in that room up against the door.

Luckily this corridor is mostly storage and things. If anyone needs to get by me they can take the stairs. *easily* Most people could use the exercise.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/22/2007 09:34:07

Nursery rhymes? *sighs* No. No, she wasn't.

*rambling* She was doing great for a while...carrying on normal conversations, going shopping with Finduilas. Then she wanted to know what our relationship was and I told her and—she was upset, of course. She seemed like she just needed time to get used to the idea. But since then she's been less and less responsive.

*presses his ear to the door* Níniel? Nienor? Whatever the fuck I'm supposed to call you today? It's me, Túrin.

*softly, from a long, long distance*

'm STUCK!

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 14:04:54

*really rather patiently* You're not stuck, you're just...stuck. Will you let me in, please?

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 14:08:12

*aggrevatedly* I'M STUCK.

*wonders if you've gone stupid in the head?*

HELP.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 14:14:13

*wonders what the hell he's supposed to do now, exactly*

*beyond the wondering what the hell you're talking about in the first place, naturally*

Okay...? Move away from the door if you— *presses both hands flat against the door and gives it an experimental shove*

*watches as the door and the piled-up furniture behind it fly across the room to more or less embed themselves in the opposite wall*

—whoa.

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 14:16:27

*stares at the furniture in horror amazement* Whoa.

*smiles brightly at you and waves from the air duct she's trapped in* I can't get out!!

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 14:20:51

*comes over to you and glares his best big brotherly glare o' doom* You are driving me absolutely bonkers. For the record.

*incredulously* How did you get in if you can't get out?

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 14:24:27

*frowns* Sorry. I don't mean to.

*shrugs as best she can* Don't know. I just got stuck. Blame him. *points at Dr. Ron*

	From: elrondmd	Date: 03/23/2007 14:26:59

*looks up in surprise and peers through the doorway at you*

*makes a small sound in protest as if to say "leave me out of it"*

*will just stay out there until his services are absolutely required, okay?*

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 14:28:23

*pulls up a chair that has managed to escape annihilation and sits in it*

So what happened?

*thinks he must be pretty nuts himself to be trying to reason with a crazy person*

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 14:30:55

*gestures quite emphatically at him* He tried to drug me up and lock me up again. So I hid. I knew you'd be worried so I tried to get out but I got stuck in here. *smiles sheepishly* Remember when we watched Mission: Entirely Possible?

*is the picture of sanity!* (*as far as Nienor's are concerned*)

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 14:36:26

*very clearly demonstrates an utter lack of plan to free you from the air duct anytime soon*

Remember when we watched Mission: Entirely Possible?

*lip-twitch* *firmly* He told me you were talking complete nonsense when you came in. And somehow I don't have him pegged as the evil doctor type.

What am I supposed to do with you?

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 14:41:03

*sighs* *wriggles around a bit*

*glares* I don't have any idea what he's talking about. Are you sure he's not evil? Don't you remember the doctor in Frankenwë?

What am I supposed to do with you?

Get me out of here?

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 14:48:22

*sighs too* Pretty sure, Nienor. Pretty sure.

*sadly* I think you're going to have to stay here. Not here as in air-duct-here. Hospital here. I don't know what else to do. I don't know how to take care of someone like me or you with your...issues. Every time I turn around you're losing your marbles and running off somewhere.

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 14:50:54

What!? No. No.



Please don't make me stay here.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 15:00:11

*really HATES it when you get that look*

*gets up and comes over to you* *thinks for a minute*

*manages to work his hands in on either side of you* *presses outward against the walls of the vent until they start to give*

*does the same thing on the top and bottom* *hopes this isn't a support wall or anything*

*carefully helps you slither out and carefully sets you on the floor, not letting go*

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 15:01:39

*beams up at you* I knew you could do it!


Let's go home.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 15:15:31

I can't take care of you at home. I know you seem fine now but... *trails off helplessly*

	From: elrondmd	Date: 03/23/2007 15:16:38

*doesn't look up from his apparently very interesting work*

*cough*antipsychotics*cough*

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 15:17:59

*feels her lower lip start to tremble*

*soldiers on bravely* I'll get my own place then. *laughs softly* You are such a worrier.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 15:22:28

*hugs you*

You can't get your own place. And this isn't just me worrying. You're not well. *gently* Can't you understand that? I know you don't remember but I've never lied to you.

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 15:25:03

*clings!*

*feels her eyes start running over with tears* Please don't make me stay here I can't stay here it's so lonely and I don't want to be alone again not anymore not like before.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 15:35:28

*feels his resolve crumbling*

*wearily* If you want to come home you have to do just as I say and take your medicine every day like Dr. Ron says. I mean it. And when I'm not there you'll stay where I put you and you won't like it. You'll feel caged anyway.

	From: elrondmd	Date: 03/23/2007 15:37:01

*headdesk* *doodledoodledoodle*

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 15:38:56

*nodsnodsnods* I will I will I will! I'll do everything you say, I promise. *gives you a little smile* Even if you say to eat brussel sprouts.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 16:42:43

*yes, knows this remains the worst plan of all time, stfu*

*can't bear to see you upset though*

*smiles back at you* All right then. If you're good about taking your medicine and you're doing well at home then I'll take you places and we can do all sorts of fun stuff. We can see all the horrid movies and go to *shudder* parties or whatever you want. *can't help feeling a certain amount of evil glee at that last thought*

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 16:47:04

*nods* I'll be good! I promise I really promise. Then we can go see Mablung! Just don't leave me with the crazy man again.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 16:53:16

*puts an arm around your shoulders and walks you to the door*

crazy man

*isn't about to contradict you on that point* Who would you rather stay with when I'm not around then? You like Melian at least, don't you?

*turns to Dr. Ron and holds out a hand expectantly*

	From: elrondmd	Date: 03/23/2007 16:55:16

*sighs and writes up roughly 45846926 prescriptions and hands them to you*

These will help--a lot--but she won't want to take some of them. Some of the side effects related to mood are fairly unpleasant. And they're not a cure. She needs to keep coming in for therapy.

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 16:58:23

*makes a face at you*

	From: elrondmd	Date: 03/23/2007 17:02:18

*smiles at you kindly, unruffled* Just remember there's always a place here for you if you ever want to stay awhile. The walls are nice and soft.

	From: wailingwoman	Date: 03/23/2007 17:05:28

Hmph.

*clutches her brother's arm*

I'll stay with Melian when you go away. She's nice. She makes faces at the crazy guy when his back's turned.

	From: gorthol	Date: 03/23/2007 17:14:03

*laughs* I bet she does. *feels very slightly appeased*

*thanks the non-evil doctor for his help and leads you outside rather protectively*

*thinks he may just be even more tired of hospitals than you are*

*brightly* Let's go fill these-- *holds up the prescriptions* --and then we can get dinner or something, okay? Maybe Fin will come with us.

*tries not to think what Fin's reaction will be when he tells her you really are still living with him*
