Freyr had a hard time getting through to the hospital. She had the foresight to keep the reception’s number in her phone, although apparently to some that was a ‘weird’ thing to do. She waited five minutes on hold whilst crawling along the congested road to the flat, but she may as well have not bothered. The woman who picked up the phone seemed so overwhelmed by what was happening on the other side of the desk that Freyr may as well have been draining blood from a stone.

“Atlanta Medical Centre.”

“Hi there, i’ve been asked to come in for jabs…?”

“Yes, come in as soon as possible.” What sounded like a melee was audible in the background. It seemed like hundreds of people all shouting at once.

“Hold on, i didn’t say i wanted them yet. What are they for?”

“Just a precaution ma’am.”

“What are they protecting against? My mother studies pandemics, i know my stuff.” Freyr fibbed. Her mum did actually study dangerous diseases, but she had never taken any notice of her lectures until now. The receptionist started saying something but the line went dead, Freyr tried the number again but gave up when it went straight to voicemail. She went to call Indy but a gap opened up in the traffic and she sped aggressively into it, dropping her phone in her lap. Things outside seemed tense; there were people rushing into shops and others shouting at each other from opposite sides of the street. Slipping as covertly as she could through the lanes of traffic, Freyr sidled up to her destination. The sensor on the windscreen of her Rover made the wrought iron gates of their apartment building’s underground car park slide open noisily; Freyr wasted no time in disappearing inside.

The underground carpark was cool and, for now, empty of most cars. Halogen lighting strips on the ceiling bathed the concrete walls, floors and pillars in an eerie bluish light. Freyr found Indy’s Audi in it’s usual space right next to the elevator door. He must have kicked ass at that archaeological job thing he’d been talking about. Running her hand over the cold bodywork of Indy’s car, Freyr headed into the elevator and picked out their floor. Fourth from the top, floor 27. They'd got the three bedroom apartment for a snip at $490,000. Freyr put it down to the whole building being new. She couldn't wait to feel the wood under her bare feet after a stressful few hours.

No it's not. And i've just realized that in the pictures on photobucket, there's a bit of water next to the building; there isn't any water in Atlanta. Just say it's on the border of the Olympic park somewhere. We can take creative liberties with the flat.

It is a very cool name.

Google maps is your friend when acquainting yourself with Atlanta; such a chaotic city!

[Ozymandias] The Way The World Ends [Catharyn]

Locking up the house she'd been trying to sell for days with the spare key, Freyr jogged briskly down the sidesteps to the house's garage space in a pair of black pumps, work Louboutins stashed in her handbag. Her car waited, a Range Rover Sport, in metallic grey. Indy had always accused her of having a 'WAG attitude' in that a 4x4 was highly impractical given where they lived. Freyr didn't care, it was fast, comfy and people got out of her way quicker than in her old Fiat. Throwing all of her stuff in the back, Freyr climbed into the driver's seat and started the engine; it came alive with an eager roar. Making sure she was settled in the plush leather interior, Freyr checked her phone like she always did after work. She'd had three missed calls from Mr Ingram as well as a text from Doctor Nguyen.

[This is a message to everyone on my practitioner's contact list. Please schedule an appointment to come in for precautionary jabs ASAP.]

Plugging her phone into the hands-free system installed on her car, Freyr popped her faithful Rover into first gear and blipped the gates with the spare blipper. Displaying a rattly sigh, the side gates opened for her and closed again when she zoomed through. Once she'd got onto the freeway headed to the flat by Centennial Olympic park, Freyr called up Mr Ingram. It rang and rang, until he picked up on the last ring. "Hello?" He sounded stressed and...was he crying? "Hello mister Ingram, it's Freyr Laurent. Did you call me earlier?" The man on the other side didn't say anything for a few seconds, though she thought she could hear heavy breathing over the line. "Yes i, i did call you. I called you to cancel the appointment we have. It's my wife you see, she's been in an accident." Freyr put one hand to her open mouth, swerving the car a little bit. "Oh my god, that's terrible. Is Majorie okay?" Freyr didn't know Harvey Ingram that well, but his wife had gone to college with her, they'd been firm friends. "I don't know! The doctors won't let me see her, I've been stuck in this waiting room for hours." Freyr turned off the main road, heading down a smaller route which got her to the flat quicker. "Is there anything i can do?" She asked after a few more seconds of awkward silence. Mr Ingram remained still, content to breath heavily down the phone.

"Harvey, are you alright?"

"Yes, there is something you can do. Marjorie would love to see you. You should come down."

"I thought you said they weren't letting anyone in."

"They aren't, but maybe you could convince them."

Those words and the way he said them sent a chill down Freyr's spine. She hadn't talked to Mr Ingram a whole lot, but she knew there was something not quite right going on with him. She decided to end the call. "Listen Harvey, I'm driving at the moment and it's a bit hectic down here but i'll tell you what. Let me get back to the flat, get some stuff together, and then i can start to make my way down there. Phone me the moment they let you in, and i'll head over okay?" Half committing, genius. "Okay, hurry." The line went dead. Freyr wasn't 100% certain that she would go to the hospital. Certainly not if she was just going to be stuck in a waiting room with Marjorie's creepy husband. She'd talk to Indy about it when he got back. Traffic was heavy, there were people out of their cars trying to get some air in the blistering June weather; luckily Freyr had made it to within one mile of the Flat, it wouldn't take long now.

Nice bio, with only one real error. The First Contact War was hundreds of years ago, when the colonists appeared in orbit around Outremer and needed land held by the Rahtu. Sorry for the confusion, it's my fault as i've been meaning to put a history tab on the OP basically since the RP began. :( Other than that, accepted.
