Johanna sighed, nodding.
"Yes'm..."
Ryan sat at the end of one of the beds, criss-crossed, watching the array of things Mary and Angel were getting ready and preparing himself in case they all had to get shots.
"How many do I need to grab in that case?" Angel called out.

The air drafting in from the night was cool against her face while she smoked,gaave her brain time to relax taking long drags off her cigarette until there was nothing left. Flinging it out the window and picking up Aurora she closed the door and went back to join the others

"Just the one of each still- there's enough drug in each for up to ten shots." Mary took out twelve tips and syringes from their boxes, laying them out in their sterile packaging. She wandered over to a tall cupboard, taking out a small bottle of saline and looking around at the children. She paused, before picking up a small spray bottle of local anaesthetic. "It won't take us long, if I teach you how to give an injection, Angel."

Angel came back out, nodding somewhat excitedly and setting the ampoules down on the tray with everything else.
"Who first?"

"Well- Eulalia and Johanna are the urgent cases. We'll do the rabies shots first." The ampoule was simply marked "HDCRV" and Mary, gesturing Angel over to watch, demonstrated quickly how to assemble the needle. Filling the ampoule with ten millilitres of saline, she shook it for a moment, before switching to a much smaller needle, drawing up a millilitre of the vaccination, she came over to Johanna, still speaking to Angel. "You have to push harder to get in than you think, but one you pierce, you must slow down- watch." She turned her attention to Johanna with a smile. "Ready?"

Johanna looked up and nodded.
"Just my arms, right? And I'm left-handed, so...."

Seeing the shots coming out Melody stopped where she was and glanced back thinking about slinking back to the office to avoid the risk of getting a shot.

Eulalia sighed, sitting in a chair as she fussed with the bandages Angel put on her. "What are these made of?" She mumbled to herself. "Why are they so itchy..."

"I'm afraid it's one in each arm for you, Johanna- but I wouldn't worry. The ache usually wears off after a little while." Mary gently held the arm, angling herself so that Angel could see. "You'll want to take this spray, and just give the area a quick blast. It's a rapid acting anaesthetic, but it won't last forever, so you have to work quickly once it's on. You always have everything ready to go before you do this." She picked up the can and gave a small, cold spray onto Johanna's arm, swiftly putting it down and taking the needle. "Go in at a slight angle, like this...push gently, and- see how it slides in? Depress the plunger, let it go in at a steady rate, not too fast- then withdraw, and take a cotton ball and hold it over the puncture site, like this. Stops any bleeding that may occur." She talked through the whole procedure as she carried it out, before gently rubbing Johanna's arm with a smile. "Good job, miss. Alright, Angel- ready to try?"

Johanna winced, but smiled back at Mary at least as she rubbed her arm. Angel nodded, going to the other side and making sure all was in place before taking a deep breath, and did just as Mary did with the other shot - spray, jab, depress - somewhat slowly - and then pull out and put the cotton ball in place.
"Like that?"

"Perfect- and your patient barely flinched." Mary nodded encouragingly. She did love teaching- she'd decided long ago that, were she to leave Hill House, or leave medicine, she'd become a teacher. "Seems I could make a medical technician out of you yet." She loaded another set of syringes- two shots for Eulalia, and one each for Ryan and Melody. "If you feel confident enough, I'd like you to do Eulalia's shots, whilst I do Ryan and Melody. I'll just be in this bay here, if you need me at all."

Angel nodded, rather excited with the new responsibility. She went over to Eu, sitting next to her to get everything started.
"You ready?"

Natalie looked over to Johanna with a grin. "How's your arm?"
Mary watched Angel for a moment, before turning back, looking for Melody, or Ryan. "I don't mind which of you goes first, but you'll both be getting the shot. I've chased students down before." She smiled, trying to make light of the situation. "Don't think I won't do it again."

"I'll go ahead and go first," Ryan piped up while sitting at the edge of one of the beds, rolling up the long sleeve of the pajamas to show off his left arm.
Angel smiled, doing both shots in either arm the same way she'd been told.
"How's that?"

"Good lad." Mary smiled at him, putting her hand on the rolled up sleeve to hold it for him, quickly giving the shot. She rubbed the area and held the cotton ball on for him, checking occasionally to see if he was still bleeding. "It might ache a little, but it'll be fine in the morning, don't you worry." She looked down at the skinny boy, and sighed. "I think rounds of Ovaltine are overdue in here- I keep the chocolate flavour in. Tastes like warm chocolate malt milkshake." She smiled gently, the bleeding in his arm stopped. "There was only the plain flavour, when it was younger, but goodness, it was such a treat." She rolled his sleeve down, gently fixing his hair for a moment. "Go on, hop into bed. I'm sure Natalie can make it," Mary gestured the older girl over. "Make it like you make the milkshakes you have, but with hot water- there's a kettle through there. It's by your supplement." She smiled warmly as the girl nodded and walked off, before turning back to Ryan. "Now you know it'll be good- Natalie's used to making this kind of thing."

Poe had stared at de Sade for a fair amount of time before he shook his head and muttered "It's never enough."
By now he had wandered the halls alone and found a couch to fall into, his head in his hands as despair at away at his heart and mind. He couldn't bring himself to rage, to be angry that de Sade had failed, or even that this might have all been a trap, that de Sade had been trying to lure the spirit into a false sense of security for her attack. All that he felt was the weight of failure grinding him down, and how useless all his efforts had been.

Chewing her lip when she watched everyone get their shots, knowing that she was next. Not wanting to test if Mary would actually chase her down she sat down on one of the beds again and pulled her arm out of her sleeve.

"I'll go ahead and go first," Ryan piped up while sitting at the edge of one of the beds, rolling up the long sleeve of the pajamas to show off his left arm. Angel smiled, doing both shots in either arm the same way she'd been told. "How's that?" "Fine." The girl replied, rubbing her arm as it tensed up after the needle was pulled out.

Angel grinned, setting everything down and watching Mary over to the side.
Ryan watched the needle be pushed into his arm, the only trace of pain he let show would be a quick quirking of his brow. He smiled up at Mary, blushing somewhat as she fixed his hair, and watched Nat run off.
"That sounds nice, thank you."
"Thank you!"

"Alright- Melody, you ready?" Mary picked up the needle, prepared to go. She smiled gently, coming over with the numbing spray. "Won't take me a second, promise. And, you won't feel a pinch."
Natalie added the powdered malt to the slightly greying mugs as the kettle boiled. She chewed the inside of her cheek as the worked, counting two spoonfuls as she went down the row of mugs, having to think hard as she went. She paused a couple of times, having to recheck which mugs she had done and which she hadn't a few times. The kettle rattled loudly as it boiled, whistling quietly.

Mary nodded, before striking quickly, giving Melody no time to panic. Within thirty seconds, it was over. Mary knew the look across the face of the girl, that apprehension and fear- she also knew working quickly helped alleviate that. "There- done."
Natalie came out, carrying four mugs of the Ovaltine, passing out the warm bedtime drink, fetching the rest once the others were given out. She kept one for herself, sipping the warm chocolate malt drink with a smile. "Isn't this nice?"

Accepting the mug Melody rubbed her arm suprized it did not hurt. Taking a sip from the mug she winced as the hot liquid burned her lips, but she smiled slightly "Thanks" lowering the cup to her lap.

"Thank you," Ryan kept it close, keeping his breathing steady while slowly sipping the mug. He still felt pretty on edge thanks to the attack, and didn't want to risk getting sick off of nerves by going too fast.
"This is lovely, Nat. You do this often?" Johanna glanced between the two across from her, before her eyes trained back onto Natalie. Something told her they knew a bit about what the hell had jut happened, but she wasn't sure she should bring it up just yet.

Feeling Johanna's eyes on her Melody looked up noticing Johanna had made short notice of her before transferring her attention back to Natalie. Leting her own eyes fall on Natalie swirling the hot liquid around in her mug absentmindedly.

"All my supplement drinks come in this form- well, a similar form. It's like, the only way I'm usually allowed to eat at home." She grinned slightly. "Meals here feel like such a treat." Natalie took a drink of the malted drink, leaning back on Johanna's bed. "But, these kind of things, there's a bit of a knack to getting the powder dissolved without half an inch of weird foam on the top."

Eulalia took her glass of Ovaltine, sipping on it as she stared jealously at Natalie and Johanna. She mumbled something under her breathe in between sips, the statement muffled by the mug's glass.
The girl set the cup aside then, looking over at Ryan and Melody.
"So. What happened with you two?" She said, bluntly, "I mean, we heard screams, yet..."

"It is? Jesus, why?" Jo asked, before looking over as Eulalia spoke to the duo, surprised at her gall. "Yes, do tell!"
If there had been a double entendre in Eulalia's question, it flew right over the head of the boy. He glanced over, somewhat nervously, to the dark-haired girl before looking back to the others.
"Well I'm... I'm not sure how to start about any of this..."

Natalie looked across at Johanna with a look that said 'I'll tell you later', before looking across at Ryan and Melody. "What got you guys? I mean, it got you pretty good up there." Natalie nodded at their head wounds. "What was it, like, a giant cat or something?" Her imagination didn't stretch far. Instead, she continued drinking the Ovaltine in her mug, pushing her sleeves up out of discomfort. She hated sleeves- t-shirts and vest tops were more her thing. Same for trousers and jeans- she likes shorts, skirts, leggings. She rolled the sleeves of the top up to her shoulder as they slid down. "Something with giant fucking claws, that's for sure."
