Clinic (Physical Health) – Ground Floor, Residential Building
Lunch Time – Clair “Left-Feet” Blues“Sie schaut etwas gequält," Levi muttered without thinking then hastily translated - "She looks pretty upset.”
“She does, doesn’t she?” Clair was still looking at Hope when she replied. She paused a bit longer before continuing. “Her name’s Hope. She buddied me during the first week I got here. As you can see,” She lifted one of her crutches, “I don’t get around much and I was way worse when I first arrived. She volunteered to, you know, buddy me until I was on my foot. It was just a short time but I got to know her. She became a sort of older sister, not that I would know how that feels since I’m an only child but I’m quite found of her. We talked from time to time but since we’re in different groups, I don’t get to talk to her much.”
A nurse approached Clair saying that her insulin shot is ready. Before being guided away, she asked the nursed why Hope was upset. The nurse simply shrugged. They don’t know yet but they’re worried since Hope rarely was frantic. Clair felt like she should ask or say something to Hope but the nurse was already guiding her to an available bed for her shot. After saying her goodbyes to Levi, she followed the nurse. Getting an inulin shot wasn’t much different from any other types of shots. Somebody just sticks you with an injection, push the pin and viola. Maybe the only hassle about it is that she needs to have it daily and that it’s a bloody expensive disease.
Wake up, injection, eat, class, injection, eat, class, play, therapy, injection, eat, play, sleep and again. Clair thought of her routine.
While being administered her usual dose, she noticed Mr. Harris Thomson, her case worker, pass the hallway and to the new girl.
Coool, Levi and I will have the case worker! The thought brought a smile to her face but then Dr. Georgiana Wilson passed the same hallway and to Hope. “Ugh... I never knew you can feel happy and worried at the same time.” Clair muttered to herself.
Library – Welcome Building
Lunch Time – Andrew RhodesOpen Roads’ Therapists, Facilitators and Case Workers normally take their lunch in the library. If not for the bonding, it allows to them to discuss the kids under their care. They were still trying to divide the work load among themselves and the needs the kids will require, such as their curriculum and therapy. But that aside, the hottest topic was Erika Sutherland, nearly a year with little to no signs of improvement. Taking away her laptop has yet to show signs of grounding her. Erika wasn’t an isolated case. Other residents have shown slow progress before but what makes Erika different from them is that she was 18 years old. Open Roads’ would like to keep their doors open for her but they don’t have the tools to deal with adults and would only hold her progress, if there was any, back.
Andrew Rhodes listened to the therapist assigned to Erika, Jonathan Harper. “I tried one-on-one, group and a combination of both for her to reassess her values but she won’t take suggestions from me or anyone she doesn’t deem the authority on the subject which is heavily based on the person’s success. I stress success because to her, we’re just a bunch of losers helping losers. I already told you this Rhodes, the only way I can think of her getting on the right track is by breaking her routine, force her into chaos. Unlike most kids here in Open Roads, Erika has a structured mind. She’ll seek to order the chaos she’s thrown into and build something out of it. We just have to make sure that the chaos we throw her in readjust her values and goals. Taking away her laptop is the first step, disallowing her to pursue the goal she has now. She’ll be force to find a new one ‘cause that’s how her mind works. She has to achieve something and that’s when we’ll intercept her and guide her towards a less destructive path. But she has to come to this to her own conclusion since she won’t take it from any of us.”
The senior case worker was about to ask Mr. Crowmarty regarding Erika but was interrupted by Sarah, one of the three secretaries employed in the shelter. “Mr. Rhodes, there was an incident in the dining hall. Two girls were going at each other’s throats but broke off before anything serious happened.”
“Never a dull moment.” Andrew sighed, “Go on, who were involve?”
“A new resident I believe, a girl named Callie Evans.” Andrew looked at Howard. He motioned to let her slide.
“She has only been a week with us and besides, I haven’t gotten to talk to her one on one yet.” Howard explained. Andrew nodded at Sarah to go on. Everybody was pretty much surprise when they heard the next name, Erika. Andrew shook her head and told Harper that she won’t be attending therapy tonight since he wanted to talk to her.
“Tell Security to let them cool off in their rooms until then and put one on standby at the lobby. I wouldn’t like the kids getting ideas. Erika isn’t too popular among the others.” Andrew told the secretary. Howard also asked the secretary to schedule a one on one with Callie in the evening. The bell ringed, signaling the end of lunch break. The residents headed towards their classes and the staffs went back to work.

Hope Daly is confined in the clinic until further notice, if she follows through with her confession. If she doesn’t, she’ll stay overnight under observation. Other outcomes may present itself depending on the content of TraceStHsuky’s next post(s).
Levi Ackerman is confined in the clinic until further notice. She have discussed with her case worker, Harris Thomson, regarding her residency. The talk was brief and was mainly to gather some data regarding her, such as name, age and any information she was willing to share. Due to her current condition, Mr. Thomson has decided to have the actual talk later on when she was feeling better.
Erika Sutherland and Callie Evans are in their respected rooms to cool off upon the request of Andrew Rhodes. They may leave anytime but they have a scheduled appointment with their respected case worker. Certain outcomes may be achieved by attending or missing this appointment. The appointment is scheduled during 05:00 – 06:00: Group/1on1 Therapy. Players may choose to begin at this point. Erika received a warning due to her behavior (1/3).
