pain and a bit of gravity

who: yuichi
where: hall
when: after the spider attack and jay's retreat into the lift
yuichi bounded down the hall. she had run from what she knew to be a
strange sub-species of hymenoptera. it didn't take long for her to
lose the large spider, as well as her sence of direction. she knew it
was quite stupid to roam the ship in her cat form, but had little choice.
she would hurry as to stay out of sight. the halls were the best bet
to find her way again. she had considered the air vents, but wasn't
that crazy.
she was thus wandering when the lights turned off as well as the
artificial gravity. floating in the middle of a hall in the middle of
blue dwarf she had a bit of time to think of how stupid it was to be
this lost.
it didn't take long for her to give up hope of being rescued in this
zero-g hell hole.
then suddenly the power flicked on and she fell back to the floor.
she walked for a bit longer and just as she was abput to give up hope
who would she run into but the captain of the ship himself, jay
chrysler...
[yep prepare for jay on jay confrontation]

He sighed a huge sigh of relief as the door did manage to close, and
the lift began to move, unfortunately for him, the sharp spiders leg
pierced through the slight gap in the doors, and almost pierced his
face. As it retracted, the lift fell below the level of the door,
and he was safe...

jay let out a heavy sigh and reached for the crates of booze to ease
the pain.
it hit him suddenly, he had forgotten to grab the booze.
it felt like there was a festering hole in his leg. his nerves burned
with pain.
he would pat himself down, looking for any leftovers from his stash to
ease the pain.
one small glass pipe. he would hold it to his lips and take a long
drag. the drug didn't work instantly, but soon the pain began to fade.
it wasn't to long before the lift stopped and he would stagger out of
it onto the deck. his eyes were blurred from both the massive amount
of pain and the drug now in his system.
leaning on the wall he would push himself down the hall.
his world was swimming. he had just enough left in him to realize it
when both the lights and the gravity flickered off.
he was floating weightlessly in the darkness. his vision was slowly
fading to black when the gravity reactivated, dropping him to the
floor. he would hit his head knocking him out.
there he lay, colored lights flashing. the acidic drool of the spider
creature eating away at his leg, bleeding in the middle of a hallway.
[sorry for the drug bit, but i did say that he did them in the
character creation. anyway, someone please rescue jay, jay byrd that is]
