Zachary Ackerson woke when he heard the words "she needs you". 

Well, that would be incorrect. He had been awake for quite some time now, but he had yet to rise from his bed nor do much of anything aside from staring at the ceiling. His mind was being assaulted by pessimism and anger, by fear and anxiety, and by despair. Things had done nothing but escalate for far too long. People where not who they seemed, some had turned out to be nothing more than villains, while some had died. He'd even lost an eye and were times more peaceful, he would certainly be stressing about how that would affect his hobby and career. But in truth, his lackluster reaction to the events of yesterday was what shook him the most. 

The bomb threat, the aggressive, antagonistic tendencies Thomas was beginning to display, and now the fact that he was considering everybody a hostage. All of this felt so... tiring, and distant. Zach couldn't bring himself to care almost, and he began to think that maybe something was wrong with him. Well, something new at least. 

This whole situation was bound to explode into something horrible, just like everything else had. He was certain. And knowing this, he figured that maybe someone would die again. It could even be him, and yet that didn't scare him at all. He just felt so cold to the world now, in contrast to when he originally arrived and had trouble sleeping after his near-death experience with one of the Carnage Sisters. He was certainly not the same man he was before, and while this thought had always sounded appealing to him, he never once considered that he could become even worse than before. 

But... well, he could only muse about his encroaching apathy for so long. Even if he felt like it did not involve him, the truth of the matter was that not only was he involved, but so was Jezebel. Zachary was certainly not under the impression anything he was capable of could "save Jezebel", but if at the very least, he was useful to the person who had been so kind to him during his stay in this horrible, no good place, then that was good enough to motivate him to leave his room. And so he did just that, appearing before the rest of the people in the hallway shortly after Thomas' summons.

[color=0076a3]"Oh, I doubt very much anybody needs me."[/color] he stated to the man holding the group hostage in a tone very reminscant of the one he used when dealing with the good doctor or the Carnage Sisters. That is to say, he sounded fairly upset. [color=0076a3]"And play this game with our lives is not what I want to be doing with my time, but I suppose I have no choice."[/color] he sighed, glancing at Jezebel for a moment. 

[i][color=0076a3]Didn't she shoot her arm or something yesterday? I feel like this should be brought up at some point, but I suppose that's not even the craziest thing that has happened recently. Maybe that's normal with clowns? I sure hope not.[/color][/i]

[s]Also just assume George Henry showed up earlier and hasn't done anything, I completely forgot what I wanted to do with him reee.[/s]
