Collins frowned, keeping her eyes on John. ‘Sins? What sins?’ she asked, folding her arms across her chest.
-
"this place is full of them. Florence is just part of it. So many people died here, and it's all because of the scientists who worked here." John said as he looked sporadically from room to room
-
‘What exactly happened here, anyway?’ Collins asked, looking around as well. ‘Like, before Nori died. How did you create these… things?’ She wasn’t sure what to refer to the experiments as. They definitely weren’t people, but creatures seemed like the wrong term.
-
"it was an experiment in genome splicing. We took human subjects, and we'd inject the DNA of other creatures. We'd do surgery's as well, to help them fit their new selves better. Sometimes we'd just take parts of people to become new creatures." Johnn said. Florence mimicked a bird outside of the window
-
Collins’ brows furrowed. ‘And these people.. they’d agree? To have their forms changed forever?’ She glanced towards Florence’s direction, frowning. ‘Xavier, right? That’s who Florence was before he.. changed.’
-
"actually... They weren't in the best condition to disagree. It's a hospital. At first we thought everyone truly agreed, but truthfully......" John said before hesitating. He looked towards Florence. "Obsidian would take the mentally ill and the terminally ill patients and he'd...." John struggled to speak. "He'd manipulate them into joining the experiment. He'd threaten to take their medicine, stop their treatments and remove visitation rights id they refused. They barely had a choice!" John said. He sounded more stressed with every word. Florence walked out of the room and looked at them.
-
Collins’ eyes widened. ‘H-He what?’ she said, nervously trying to wrap her head around what had just been said. ‘And Nori didn’t stop it? He-He just went ahead with the experiments?’ she asked, questions flooding her mind. She remembered when the assistant researcher Obsidian had pushed her into the extractor. ‘Oh my good god…’
-
"not even Nori knew. He was lied to the most, and he found out the last. Nori was a great man but he was busy running this place and finding test subjects. Plus, he couldn't walk and whenever a test subject was asked about why they agreed obsidian would silence them with chemicals and harsh punishments all while others were distracting Nori. His whole disgusting posse who thought he was the smartest man at Saint west." John said. Florence walked closer and mimicked glass beakers clinking together.
-
Just imagining that made Collins weak in the knees. She looked down, trying to understand that. ‘So, every creature here had no choice? That’s sick! Why did none of you do anything about it?’
-
"some of us tried. Nori tried to reverse the genome splicing on earlier patients and tried his hardest to comfort the fully transformed... But it was already too late. Nori just had to make sure they were comfortable and happy at that point. Then he left, sickened by his own sins and the actions of obsidian. He left to get a lawsuit again Saint west but obsidian was in charge once he left. Then there was a mysterious car crash that no one quite saw and Nori was gone." John said. Florence flattened his wings as he crept closer to John from behind.
-
Collins looked down, frowning. She took a shaky breath then looked back up at John. ‘How did nobody find out about it? Nothing can stay a secret for so long,’ she said. ‘Logically, by now the patients would’ve already found a way out of the hospital. The only reason they’ve been here this whole time is because they thought Nori would come back?’
-
"anyone who tried to tell the media 'mysteriously died' or was arrested for defamation. As for the patients they truly believe and hold out for the hope that Nori will return. It is all that keeps them here." John said. Then a glob of drool fell on his shoulder. Florence looked mad. His teeth were bared and his wings were held in flying position while he stood on all 6.
-
Collins turned her gaze to Florence. He looked mad. She took a step backwards, eyes flickering from John to Florence. What had she gotten herself into?
-
John jumped forward before turning around. "Florence, calm down." John demanded. Florence mimicked the growl of an angry dong. "Where's the creator" he shouted.
-
Collins took a few more steps backwards, hands clasped together. ‘I-I need to go,’ she said, quickly running to grab her satchel and slinging it over her shoulder.
