Destruction Lay Around Me From a Fight I Could Not Win [OPEN]
Who: Victims and their friends
What: Devil's night left Shepherd's Haven and more than a few of its inhabitants in rough shape. While rebuilding is in process, a few of these folks are in a Christchurch hospital.
Where: Christchurch Hospital
When: October 31-November 7, please note the date in your toplevels.
Status: Open, ongoing
Warnings: Injured people
A mission of peace, kindness and camaraderie was a wonderful thing in theory, and even in practice, so long as every variable meant it. For a little while, it had been that way, and then a variable had turned negative and poisoning an otherwise nourishing well with fear and fire. It had deflected and desecrated every approach until the very last, requiring might in numbers to drive off. The result lingers long after the last traces of its shadow, though, and some who had relocated to Shepherd's Haven for the isolated safety found themselves lifted out by helicopter and taken to Christchurch Hospital for treatment.
There are reporters that want to get to into the rooms, curious about the victims and about the mysterious, dangerous Numbered who would do such things to his own. For the most part, they're kept out, but one might slip through every so often. Visitors are allowed, and if one of the unfortunates who was in the village at the time of the attack wishes to be near another, they're unlikely to be discouraged. While the world may not understand or always love the Numbered, at least Christchurch as a whole seems to realize that the ones currently admitted are not to be feared.

No, Nathan doesn't need to be told that. He knows all about misdirected anger and what it can do. So much of his life has been filled with it and he's even engaged in it on rare occasions. He still remembers, shortly after the doppelgangers had started running about, getting so very angry during a misunderstanding with Tony -- angry at his father, but he'd twisted it into something else and lashed out at the convenient target. It had taken a while for he and Tony to truly get along after that.
"I do understand. I think that if no one has been angry enough to say it, it's a good sign, at least."

He's quiet and respectful, knowing that Nathan's background likely lends itself to recollections about a difficult and painful upbringing. He waits patiently and respectfully for Nathan to formulate an answer he is happy with.
"Whether or not they are angry, I can fault no one for speaking," Lazarus replies. "Even if they are angry, and that anger hurts, I would rather be aware of it."
