002 | Day 99 | Video | Alec McDowell
[ Alec went to bed and everything was normal. He was sharing a house with some interesting people and that was the end of it. He remembered flashes of people. Scientists maybe? It was very close to what happened to him at Manticore on a daily basis. He thought he had gotten away from that crap and now he was here. He woke up in his own bed though even though in the dreams he wasn't here. He was somewhere else. He was being poked and prodded. Probably trying to figure out what the hell he was. Sometimes Alec just wanted to start wearing a sign on his head. Maybe it'd keep those assholes away from him if they had the whole story to work with. These people had to know about Transgenics. They couldn't turn on a television without hearing a news story about his kind.
It took a few minutes for his legs to function properly and he started looking the house over. His housemates were just gone. Rooms were basically cleared. A few items here and there dedicated solely to the room, but nothing personal anymore. No one around. Alec was starting to worry. He wasn't sure how much time had passed honestly. Those dreams didn't feel long, but they were just fragments. Not telling Alec the whole story. Yet again another group of people who just wanted to exploit him and his kind. The idea pissed him off. The only option right now was to find out if he missed some big massive kidnapping.
He lifted his wrist communicator and looked down. There was a look on his face that basically screamed he was incredibly annoyed by the whole situation. He wasn't overly attached to his housemates, but he was sorta worried. Max's bleeding heart rubbed off on him a bit, but not enough for him to fly off into a panic. ] What the hell did I miss? Also did someone kidnap my housemates? If so--give 'em back.

He's straining to recall the females name. He doesn't really get anywhere. He only remembers the males name because he was into science. Alec was virtually a science experiment in himself. ] Can't remember the girls name. The guy was Bruce. Kinda rumpled. I just met them. They're gone though. Just me now.

I don't think the scientists go from house to house. There's some other factor in who they choose to grab. If you want to stay there, there's no reason you can't. But if you're concerned, there are other places with space free; I'm sure you could get someone to budge up and let you share.
Are you injured at all, or just missing time?

[ Eventually Alec would be shipped back home. Hopefully these guys weren't looking to kill them. Hopefully they just wanted to study them or something. If he got sent back maybe he could get that Bruce dude to take a look at his barcode before he went. Anyone who could get that thing to disappear would be a miracle. It'd make surviving in Seattle easier.
Alec isn't sure what to think. It's not comforting thinking he's in this place alone now. The house is empty and it's kind eerie. He's used to living alone, but that was by choice. Plus Max dropped by a lot and towards the end he slept in Terminal City most of the time. This was spooky. ] Missing time. Dunno about injured--I heal pretty quick. If enough time has passed I wouldn't know. Thinking I might start soliciting for a roommate or something.

There are always new arrivals. Keep an eye on the network, see if you can tempt anyone. You're welcome to shout for me if you need anything, anyway.

He wasn't aware of these other legitimate doctors. He's a little curious to meet them. He could use the help. He's hoping they actually understand what he is and what he's come from. Though he's not sure they well. Manticore doctors are well trained for this field. ] Dunno how un-creepy that'd be. Soliciting new arrivals to come live with me? Kinda screams stranger danger.

In the meantime, you can always camp in the library, or the bar if Ellen likes you.
no subject
Once Balthazar has brought up the bar he's laughing. His interactions with Ellen have seemed to be confrontational mostly on Alec's end. He doesn't trust easily. He doesn't trust Balthazar, but he likes his attitude. ] Already met her. She keeps trying to mommy dearest me. It's freaking me out.
no subject
Oh, dear. Trust me, you want to be on her good side. She's the one with the booze. [It amuses him to hear that Ellen's been mothering Alec. He wonders whether it's the resemblance to Dean, the apparent age, or a little of both.]
