Part 4

Honeydew - so is everyone ready?

Sjin - should we get onto mumble?

Sips_ - good plan sjinny boy.

They turned on mumble and greeted each other. "Ok so is everyone here?" Simon asked.
"Everyone except Lewis..." Duncan answered. "Its weird he's usually the first one here. Especially recently." He added, though remembered the state he had been in the night before.
"Should we try and contact him?" Paul suggested.
"Well we can't exactly start until he gets here..." Chris answered.
"Hang on I just heard someone come in to the office, I'll check if its him." Simon said, taking off his headphones and walking from his room. He spotted the raven haired man walk into his own room, he appeared to stumble slightly. Well, Duncan and Paul had spoken of his drunken state the night before. He'd have to ask if his best friend was ok later. They had some recording to do. "He's here, should be on soon."

-Xephos joined the game-

Honeydew - were on mumbl whn you're ready friend

Xephos - alright.

The little green icon next to Lewis' name went green and they greeted him.
"Hi..." He answered. He did not sound good.
"You ok mate?" Simon asked.
"Yeah... Let's start..." Was the response. Simon sighed and they began recording, once again the raven haired man didn't speak for most of the time, just let everyone else get on with everything. In the middle of the session his minecraft character began to take damage. He turned the character around, not seeing anything attacking him, and then looked to his food bar. It was empty.
"You ok there friend?" Simon asked, chucking a little.
And that's when he felt it, a twinging pain, spiking every few seconds, crippling his stomach. He was starving. He curled up on himself slightly. "Y-yeah... Just starving." He answered, forcing out a chuckle.
"Here mate have some food." Simon answered, his dwarf throwing some bread onto the floor. Lewis made his character pick it up and then ate some. He fought back the urge to groan in pain as his own stomach seemed to be getting ripped apart by pain, and then once Xephos' food bar was full the pain subsided. He panted slightly and sat back in his chair, running his hands through his hair and rubbing his eyes. "Jesus Christ..." He whispered to himself. His vision wasn't doing too good, but he carried himself through until they said their farewells to the audience about an hour later. He sighed and watched everyone log off of minecraft.
He himself had to stay on, he had to unlock more files today. He had to. There was a knock on his door and he looked to it, seeing Simon poke his head round. "Hey mate, were gonna be watching a film soon in the common room if you wanna join? Have a bit of a chill day?" He asked, pushing his glasses up slightly.
"No Simon... I have work to do." Lewis answered, looking away.
"You really don't look good mate..." Simon stepped in the door a little further. It was true, the raven haired man had looked in the mirror that morning and had been greeted by even paler skin, tired eyes with big black bags underneath, messy, scruffy hair... But he had work to do so had to come in. It was important if he wanted to stop them from hurting his friends.
"Yeah, I'm fine..." He said.
"Look, if you need a break just come to the common room and do the work after." Simon suggested. "Might help you out a bit..."
He heard a voice in his headphones. 'Better not Lewis... Who knows what could happen to your friends while you rest? Better keep working...'
"Come on Lewis, let's go watch a fil-"
"I said I'm fine Simon." He snapped. He didn't mean to... He really hadn't. But his friend shook his head slightly and just walked out, closing the door behind him. Lewis sighed and put his hands to his head. "Idiot..." He mumbled to himself before sitting back up and beginning to go through the files that were still locked.

Xephos - /unlockfile395

Coms - access granted

"Ok good..." Lewis mumbled to himself after an hour of looking through files.

Com's - play subtitles with audio file? y/n

Xephos - y

'Day 003 -
So I'm back... Didn't have the time to record a dialogue yesterday... We were getting shown around the facility. Its strange, all the prisoners are all rowdy, loud... Obnoxious. Insane. But there's a man on my level that's different.'

Lewis raised an eyebrow. Someone not insane in a lunatic asylum? Doesn't sound quite right... He shrugged and let the voice continue.

'So we went to get some food, it wasn't too bad. The 'newbs' as they like to call us. It was strange, the food was... Strange. Everything about this place is strange I suppose.'

Lewis sighed. The repetition was somewhat agitating.

'So I went back to my room via the floor I'm maintaining, and I noticed this one patient... The one who... Doesn't seem like the others. He was just sat in the middle of the room, his legs crossed. And he was just looking straight at me... It was...'

"Strange?" Lewis mumbled.

'Surreal... He doesn't seem like he belongs here. He seems smart. Intellectual, sophisticated... He reminds me of me. I mean looks wise, not personality or smarts... I don't know, anyway, I'll record when I next can. It seems that recording these is actually quite useful... Makes me feel less alone in this place.'

Com's - end of entry, play next tape? y/n

Xephos - n

"Its locked anyway..." Lewis mumbled to himself. He ran his hand across his face, his head hurt. "Why is this taking so long...?" He whispered, before looking back up at his screen. The reflection was different, and as he looked closer he didn't see his room behind him, he saw... The whale? It was moving, the houses him and Chris has made on the back of it... And then he looked to himself. Xephos, again. Not himself. He closed his eyes and rubbed them. "Just stop it..." He mumbled. "Stop... You had your fun last night..." He turned back to look at his room, the whale. He stood from his chair, stumbling and falling to one side. "Stop it!" He demanded. Glad that the others wouldn't be able to hear him. He looked out over the sky around him, vertigo setting in. He clenched his eyes shut and curled up to the ground. "Please... Please... Please..." He whispered to himself. And when he looked up, on the verge of tears, he was curled up on his office floor. He sniffled and slowly stood, shaking. He went back to his seat and sat down, looking at his screen.

Dark - was that unfair of me, I apologise. I was too harsh after what I did last night.

Lewis stared at the screen, gulping slightly. 'Asshole' he thought.

Dark - no need for thoughts like that Lewis. Now, get to work... We'll talk later.

Xephos - fine.

Lewis sighed and rubbed his eyes, resting his head in his hand on the desk. He got back to work trying to unlock the files.
------------
Later that night he unlocked his door, stepping out. He didn't feel good, his vision was blurring. His feet stumbled down the corridor. He corrected himself, forcing himself to walk straight and seem stable. And he walked into the common room, deciding it would probably be better to have a little alcohol to clear his mind and probably sleep on the sofa for the night instead of trying to make it home.
As he walked in, he noticed Simon sat at the table.
"Simon..." He mumbled.
"Hey. What you still doing here?" Simon asked. He stood. "You look like shit Lewis..."
The raven haired man looked to one side as he leant his hand on the table, keeping himself stable.
"Lewis..." Simon said. He looked to him for a couple of seconds, attempting to stand as steady ad he could.
But he couldn't, his legs gave way and he fell into the desk, trying to keep himself up. Simon at this point grabbed him, attempting to atop him from injuring himself. "Here friend, come and sit down..." He said as calmly as he could, though inside he was scared. Worried for his best friend. Lewis wanted to argue but simple complied as his friend lead him to the sofa.
He held onto his ribs, the pain hadn't seized since the night before. "What's wrong? You in pain?" Simon asked, seeing Lewis sat there holding himself. "Here, let me take a look... Can't look after yourself since Hannah left huh?" He pulled the mans hand away from his ribs and went for his shirt. He couldn't check it while he still wore it. Lewis attempted to bat his hand away. He didn't exactly enjoy being shirtless. "Lewis I'm trying to help... Let me help you." Simon said, and lifted his shirt up. Lewis groaned in pain as his friend did so. "Holy shit Lewis... How did you do this?" He asked, looking down at the bruised side of his friends body. The entire right side of him was black and blue, mainly around the ribs.
"Fell..." Lewis mumbled, resting his head against the sofa. He didn't have the energy to do anything. "I'm fine..." He added.
"No, we need to clean this... Somehow." Simon said. "What about some painkillers? They should help."
"No... No medicine... Nothing... I'm fine..." Lewis answered, picking up his shirt and trying to make it seem like it didn't hurt to pull it back on.
"You're far from fine Lewis. Do you want me to take you home or?" Simon said.
"N-no... I'll stay here... Its fine..." Lewis said, sounding like he was on the verge of passing out.
"Ok, then I'll stay with you. Can't leave you alone in this state."
He had to be alone to check the files... "No I'm ok, really Simon... You can go home and rest, its easier for me to stay here so..." He said, sitting forward slightly.
"Lewis I am not leaving you alone while you're in this way."
"Yes you are. That's an order. From your boss. Now go home and get some rest..." He managed to force himself to stand. "I'll be fine." He walked from the common room, stumbling the entire way, finding it increasingly difficult to walk. And he made it to his room. As he was about to open it he was enveloped in a hug. He was shocked.
"Take care Lewis..." Simon said, before letting go and walking down the corridor to the exit. The raven haired man turned and watched as he walked out.
"I'm trying..." He whispered to no one before walking into his room and locking the door. "Believe me in trying..."
