The Stranger
100th Day
Y/N
Good morning little kitty
The black colored cat looked up to you and started purring
Y/N
I have to drag myself to work, or I would be tempted to quit
Y/N
sometimes I wonder why I do I work at a job that I hate
Even tho it's been more than 3 months you're still not used to working at the hospital, they are short on staff which puts a lot of stress on you
Y/N
Hopefully today is better
The cat jumped off the table and slumped on the ground, it was getting ready to sleep
Y/N
Well sleep well little cat. As for me, I'm off
You quickly grab your bag shoving your water bottle inside it along with a diary, sanitizer, some money, your phone and your lunch box.
You get into your car and drive while drinking your coffee that you just purchased.
Y/N
I won't survive the day without my coffee
You reach the hospital under 10 minutes. While getting out of your car you looked at the big hospital with the words "STAY HEALTHY" written on the banner.
Y/N
(If they keep pushing me to work so much I might not 'stay healthy' for long)
Remy
Here comes our favorite newbie
Y/N
Please I think it's been about 100 days since I joined
Remy
Doesn't that call for a celebration?
Camilla
Remy it's been months just give up already she is not interested in you and neither are most of the girls.
Aysh
I don't think he'll listen to us
Y/N
(I wonder how did these guys work here for more than 4 years)
Remy
Women are just shy, you need to be patient for them to feel comfortable
Aysh
You're never present in the reality
Y/N
Any new patients today?
You look at the schedule check on your shifts, because of shortage of workers you have to work an extra hour from the usual timing which is 11am to 6pm
Camilla
We have 4 patients in our department
Y/N
Well if you add in the other 60 people that visit every day....
Camilla
3 people are not enough to handle all this
Remy
This sucks I can't even catch a break these days
Y/N
I know it's been too difficult to deal with so many patients, can't we talk to someone about this?
Aysh
Don't worry they will find someone new in a few weeks
Aysh
Till then we have to try our best to not die
Welles
Um is this the physical therapy department?
Y/N
How may I help you today
Welles
Well I was sent here to get an exercise prescription?
Y/N
Can I look at your patient form please
You gesture over for Aysh to come over
Aysh
Mr Welles, it looks like you just have a nerve compression case
Aysh
It's totally normal, guessing by your posture and this form here that says you have a desk job, you probably sit a lot throughout the day
Welles
I don't have a choice in the matter
Aysh
Y/N please teach him proper ergonomics and some mobility exercises
Ergonomics - modifications for efficiency and comfort in the working environment.
Few hours has passed and the room if filled with people getting treatment. Y/N is running from patient to patient to complete their treatment on time.
Remy
I can massage your feet if you want
Camilla
I can't tell if that's disgusting or creepy
Aysh
You can have a small break
When you turned around you saw a guy approaching you sitting on a wheelchair
Y/N
Um sorry, but can I see your patient forms?
Y/N
It says that he has paraplegia, but they haven't specified a cause
Jude
I believe it's all written in that form, and it's all the truth
Jude
I don't want to repeat all that again
Y/N
(so his limbs just gave out without a cause)
Aysh
His history shows nothing that proves to be relevant
Aysh pulls you to the side
Aysh
Listen Y/N he is a serious case, since we have no much to work with just start with the basic exercises and try to complete a full examination by today, you can start with a treatment plan from tomorrow
Aysh
That's fine we'll handle other patients you just handle him, I know neurological cases are quite tough, so you need to be thorough
Y/N
I'm going to be your therapist from today, my name is Y/N
Jude
didn't you read it on my form?
Y/N
I did, but wouldn't it be better if we talk about all the things?
Y/N
I'm just going to perform some tests on you just to see what I'm dealing with
Y/N
Okay I have all that I need to know
Y/N
so Jude I'm sure the doctors have explained your condition to you, and they have given you some meditations
Y/N
Along with those medications I'm going to be taking care of your muscles to make sure they don't lose their abilities
Y/N
I'm going to help you get up from that chair, and then you have to lay down on this bed
Jude
I can't do that my legs don't work
Y/N
In order to make them work we need to strengthen them
Y/N
Please follow my instructions
Jude
Listen lady, the only reason I am here is that my family practically forced me
Jude
you won't see me from tomorrow
Y/N
don't you want to get better?
Jude
Are you serious right now
Jude
okay look me in my eyes and tell me that people recover from this
Y/N
I can't say it with absolute certainty
Jude
so stop wasting my time over this bullshit
Jude
I know that I have to live like this
Y/N
But this is better than nothing, you need to at least try
Jude
I know how much work physical therapy is
Jude
All that effort just to see a minor improvement?
Y/N
it takes time, but you will see improvement, I have tried my best to make every patient's life easier
Y/N
I'm not god, so I can't promise you that you'll walk again, but I can promise you that I'll try my best to make it happen
Y/N
don't give up yet, I've seen many cases where people do get results
Y/N
look just try it for a few months
Y/N
at home you'd basically be sitting, wouldn't coming here be better?
Jude
Why do you care about this?
Jude
If I don't come here your workload won't increase
Jude
shouldn't you be happy about that? I can see how much work you already have here
Y/N
That doesn't matter, I have devoted myself to make your life better
Y/N
it doesn't matter if I'm buried under work
Y/N
I'll always try my best to help anyone who needs it
Jude
How much do you even earn here?
Y/N
The money....maybe not but the satisfaction of helping someone is still something
Jude
it must be drag being so optimistic all the time
Mrs Rosenberg
Son you are smiling!
Mrs Rosenberg
I'm glad that you have such nice therapists to help you
Surgeon
As I told you Mrs Rosenberg, we have the finest doctors
Y/N
(Rosenberg ....I've heard that name somewhere)
Jude
Please can we stop this commotion
Jude
are we done for the day miss Y/N
Jude
Great then I'll see you tomorrow *smiles*
Y/N
(Why did my heart skip a beat, well now that he has calmed down he does seem a little cute)
Aysh
you ready to break rules?
Aysh
I saw the look on your face
Y/N
no I was just surprised that's all
Remy
yes if anyone here can steal hearts it's me
Camilla
you're still on that
Remy
Camilla my love it's the truth
Aysh
Y/N did you like what you saw
Aysh
then why are you so flustered
Aysh
oh do I sense a blush on your cheeks
Y/N
um..it's probably because I'm tired
Y/N
I better go home to my cat
Hacked?
You wake up to the sounds of your cat
Y/N
I still feel a bit groggy
Zack eats the dry food you gave him
Y/N
Another day with a lot more responsibilities
You get dressed and grab your things. After getting into the car you checked your stuff, tied your hair into a low bun and got your coffee with you
After entering the physical therapy department you look around the number of patients you have
Y/N
(14 patients this early?)
Aysh
Your new patient waiting for you at the furthest bed
You followed your gaze to the place where Aysh pointed at and saw Jude looking at this phone
Y/N
I can't handle sarcasm right now
You grab your equipment and headed straight towards Jude
Y/N
Why don't we start by putting away your phone
Jude rolls his eyes but complies
Y/N
now then let's start with today's session
You explained all the exercises and treatment program to Jude, he seemed to understand everything because he nodded along without asking any questions
Y/N
(I hope he understands everything)
Y/N
I'm going to bring in the muscle stimulator please lie down
Jude
I think my legs are thinner
Y/N
Because they lost their nerve supply
Y/N
(he doesn't know all this, explain it in simple words)
Y/N
Ahh imagine this, your muscles have these wires that connect them to the brain as call them nerves. When something damages these nerves it looses its connection
Y/N
When its lost the muscle starts loosing it's properties and becomes atrophied or smaller
Jude
I still don't understand that all this happened out of nowhere
Jude
I was just resting in my bed when all of a sudden I couldn't feel my legs
Y/N
That must have been scary
Jude
How much longer do I have to exercise
Y/N
Just a few more then we're done
Jude
can't we take a break?
Jude sat back to relax on the bed while you pulled up a chair and sat on it fixing your hair
Y/N
( I hate my curly...wavy hair, whatever this shit is)
Jude
You look angry at your hair
Y/N
I'm sorry it's just that my hair seems messy
Y/N
Huh you look so surprised
Jude
I just didn't expect you to be so young
Jude
I just assumed it must have taken you a long time to get your degree
Y/N
( Do I not look my age? or is it the job)
Jude
right...from the form
Nurse
Whose turn is it to visit the ICU
You heard the nurse calling and turned your head to Camilla
Camilla
So it's Remy's turn
Y/N
It's where critical patients are, we are required to go there on alternate days or when there are cases that need us
Jude
You guys seem short on staff
Y/N
we are but for some reason they are not hiring new people
Jude
You must be very tired from all this?
Y/N
Meh I'm used to it by now
Y/N
besides with all the work I don't even have time to think about that
Y/N
Is my misery amusing to you
Y/N
it's fine you can laugh
Y/N
I'm just going to make you exercise more
After wrapping up Jude's treatment you went back to handling other patients
Jude hesitated for a moment, it almost looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself
You watch Jude leave through the door in his wheelchair
Y/N
(I wonder what goes through his head)
After finishing up work you decided to head home and you also picked up dinner on your way home
Y/N
( I haven't checked up my emails in forever)
You opened your PC then logged into your email account. After opening it you saw a lot of spam emails, you decided to ignore them and launched a game to play
While you were playing the game you decided to play some music. When you were going through the Playlist on the website an add popped up
You read the description out loud
Y/N
Meet new people from around the world and have fun?
Y/N
That seems a waste of time
You ignored the add and continued to play games while listening to songs
Y/N
(I'm tired of this boring routine)
Just when you were about to get up you saw a strange icon on your desktop
You saw that the RPG chatroom has been installed on your pc
Y/N
I don't remember installing it...I did think it's stupid and would be funny to troll people but...
You got scared and immediately tried to delete it
It was of no use, for some reason you couldn't delete the app
You went on in a full panic mode and decided to restart your pc
RPG chatroom
*you have a new message*
The first thing you thought was that someone has hacked into your pc and you should stay away from this suspicious application...but the curiosity got the best of you
Y/N
(No harm checking it out right?)
You opened the RPG chatroom, you see a chatroom with 4 messages flashing on the screen
RPG chatroom
*Message from DEATH*
RPG chatroom
DEATH - Hello
RPG chatroom
DEATH - Is this working?
RPG chatroom
DEATH - reply if you're online
RPG chatroom
DEATH - humans are just complicated
RPG chatroom
DEATH - ahh finally you're here...but you made me wait
DEATH
Y/N
*In RPG chatroom*
Who are you?
RPG chatroom
DEATH - I am Death
Y/N
(Is this some kind of joke)
Y/N
*In RPG chatroom*
Remy I'm going to kill you
The icon on his profile changed
Y/N
Please stop this, I'm in no mood for this prank
DEATH
this is not some prank
DEATH
you think it's possible for a random app to appear on your pc
Y/N
that's exactly my point
Y/N
so stop this tomfoolery
DEATH
I'm not someone you know
DEATH
You're just some random person who was selected
DEATH
You shall know soon enough
Y/N
you are messed up, don't you have something better to do
Y/N
To waste people's time ?
Y/N
Give me a reason not to
DEATH
Fine you asked for this
DEATH
for the next 2 days you're going to be sick with a flu
DEATH
Hah! I'm not a witch
Y/N
I'm just going to switch off my PC till I get this situation under control
Y/N
I'm so tired I better start sleeping early
Y/N
(I wonder how could someone hack into my pc)
You got up from your chair and started making your bed, the moment you sat down on your bed you heard a notification from your PC
You slowly approach your PC to see the notifications from the same app that the stranger used
Y/N
(HOW IS HE DOING THIS)
Y/N
Look whoever you are please stop this
Y/N
What do you want from me ??
DEATH
Now that I have your attention
DEATH
I am here to appoint you as my assistant
DEATH
I take human souls after they have died
Y/N
But why do you need me
DEATH
There are a few humans who are capable of some abilities that are beyond your comprehension
DEATH
you sadly are one of them
DEATH
I need your help to act as a medium for my missions
Y/N
I'm sorry I can't help you with this
DEATH
you can't decline this
DEATH
I've already chosen you and shared some of my powers with you
DEATH
I am sure you already understand that I'm not some normal human
Y/N
you're going to kill me?
DEATH
No, your time in not here yet
Y/N
I don't want to be a part of this
DEATH
I'm not asking you to kill people
DEATH
You just need to patch me through every time there is someone who is ready to pass on
Y/N
I don't understand any of this
DEATH
You will in due time
DEATH
I understand that this is too much for your human brain to comprehend
DEATH
so I'll give you some time
DEATH
In the meantime just continue your normal life, and I'll explain about this as much as I can
Y/N
(I don't know what to make of all this)
DEATH
I'm going to leave you for now, I'll see you tomorrow at the same time
The app disappears from your screen and your pc turns off. You can't move or think clearly because of what you just witnessed
Y/N
I hope this is a dream
After tossing and turning in your bed for several hours you ended up passing out
After getting up you quickly jumped from your bed to check your pc
After your pc starts you searched for the RPG chatroom
You see a notification flash on your screen
DEATH
Did you think it was a dream?
Y/N
(I'm not sure about replying )
DEATH
Did you get the flu?
You couldn't hold your compulsion to reply
DEATH
Wait you don't feel sick?
DEATH
Could it be that my powers don't work on you
DEATH
Your IQ is probably 0
DEATH
or maybe it's the shock after talking to me
Y/N
don't tell me that you're spying on me
DEATH
I'm not I just know basic things about you and it's no secret that most humans work for a living
Y/N
The screen just closed
Y/N
I wonder if I can open it without him forcing it on me
You click on the app but it does nothing
Y/N
I guess I should get started on my morning routine
You had a light breakfast and headed straight to work
Y/N
(should I talk about what happened to her, or maybe not she might think I'm crazy. I don't event believed it myself)
Y/N
Yes I'm just a bit tired
Camilla
hang in there just a little longer, the weekend is here!
You tried to appear cheerful but the tiredness from sleeping and events from yesterday still have you stressed
He is in the same place as yesterday
Jude
Is it inappropriate if I ask you what's wrong?
Y/N
I just have a lot on my plate
Y/N
how are you managing at home?
Jude
I just sit in my room and play games
Jude
MOBA games, although I'm sure you've never heard of it
Y/N
If you must know I too play games
Y/N
(He looks quite surprised)
Y/N
Or do you think I don't know about games because I'm a woman?
Jude
I just figured you're busy with work
Y/N
just because I work doesn't mean I don't have hobbies
Y/N
I do all sorts of stuff in my free time
Jude
Would you maybe, like to play together sometime?
Jude
Cool I can list out some good games that you would like
Y/N
(this could be a good distraction from all the death stuff)
You finish up most of your work and fortunately the clinic was almost empty
Remy
I wish every day would just be like this
Aysh
you hate working that much?
Remy
Don't get me wrong, I'm just saying it because we don't have enough therapists
Mrs Rosenberg
Excuse me...
Mrs Rosenberg
I don't have enough time every day to come here....is there a way one of you guys can visit my house to treat my son?
Aysh
I'm sorry, but we are already short on workers, but I'll try to take it up with our superior
Jude
Right after my father's arrest we have been in a difficult situation
Y/N
is your father Tristan Rosenberg?????
Y/N
(that's why his name was familiar)
Jude
I was surprised because you didn't bother me about it, but I guess that make sense now
Y/N
Why would I bother you about it?
Y/N
I'm sure it must be difficult for you to handle that
Jude
People hate us right now, my dad got into a bad deal and all of his fortune was gone...along with a lot of people's money
Y/N
(wow that is a bad situation)
Jude
You should see the amount of death threats and hate mail we get
Jude
it's okay what's done is done
Y/N
(could this be the reason he has paralysis)
Y/N
When was your dad arrested
Jude
I mean it was difficult to process
Y/N
Could this be the reason your legs went numb?
Y/N
It can happen because of sudden trauma or shock
Jude looks up ant you with a unfathomable expression
Y/N
(I feel like I've ventured into some personal matters)
Jude
I won't be coming here from tomorrow
Jude
since I'm leaving can I get your number?
You can see that he is nervous after asking this, it's almost cute to see him flustered
He looks at you with a smile this time, and you can't help but smile back
Y/N
(he won't be my patient anymore, so I don't see any harm in this)
Mrs Rosenberg
Ahh, it's nice to see you have friends Jude
You watch Jude as he dragged his mother out of the room
Aysh
Well that's a tough one
Remy
Patients have been increasing day by day
Y/N
One of us is going to be assigned to him, right?
Camilla
Ugh if only we had more people here
Aysh
I'll see what I can do
Hours passed by while you worked and the day soon came to an end
Aysh had a talk with the other staff members, and you were appointed to treat Jude at this home
You gestured that it's okay
You come home exhausted from all the work, but you make your way to the kitchen and cook dinner
RPG chatroom
3 NEW MESSAGES
DEATH
My powers don't seem to work on you, this is extremely annoying and so inconvenient
DEATH
I would rather have done this by myself but the odds are against me, I have no choice but to improvise
DEATH
Hey human girl, come here
DEATH
I will be sending somethings to you via airmail
You see a small cat with wings trying to enter your room through the window
DEATH
I hope he hasn't forgotten the way
Y/N
it's here with something on it's back
DEATH
Well what are you waiting for, take it
you reach forward to grab it but the cat's demeanor changes and it gets a little defensive
