(They are in sepeerate rooms)
August grimaced. He could feel vibrations, but he couldn’t hear, of course. He reached up to feel for his hearing aid, but his eyes widened when he couldn’t feel it. He grew panicked, standing up now, and almost falling to the ground. He felt weak and nauseous. What was going on?
Charlie finally managed to get to her prosthetic and slipped it on, adjusting it and making sure everything worked. She stayed on the ground, too weak to sit up and looked down at the hospital nightgown she was in. She hated it. It reminded her of all her stays at hospitals when she had been first diagnosed with osteosarcoma cancer.
"August? Are you hungry?" Benji was wondering why he was even knocking on the doors. He could always just open them with his key.
Luke was panicking now. His family… his brothers… where was he? Why… He curls into a ball in a corner his head in his hands. He was so scared. His breathing was quick and fast, his eyes wide with tears of terror. He rocked back and forth, sobbing softly. What… what happened?
(I want Harper to just like randomly walk in on someone but…. I ask consent for things like that)
Charlie tried to push herself up, but ended up stumbling back down, her prosthetic slamming onto the ground. Great, you must have woken up the whole building. The building? Was it a building? A house? A hospital. . . where was she?
(I want Harper to just like randomly walk in on someone but…. I ask consent for things like that)
(She could find Charlie if you want to)

(Kk thx!)
Harper heard that new people were coming to stay. She opened a door and walked in on a female aroung her general age.

(Lmao Benji is pretty confused, and August can’t hear him rip)
August carefully took the IV from his wrist, grimacing softly as he did so. He blinked a few times as his vision swayed and clouded over with black spots. Where was he? Why couldn’t he remember anything that had happened? He didn’t feel like he was hurt anywhere.
He put his key in the lock and opened the door, realizing he didn't know anything about this guy. Just his name, really. "I have breakfast?"
Charlie looked up at the girl who had walked in quizzically, running a hand through her dyed, gray-white hair. "Hello. . ." She said quietly, her voice as weak as her legs.
"They named me Harper. What have you been named?" Harper asked.

August saw the door open out of the corner of his eye, and he flinched sharply, falling back into a sitting position on the end of the bed. The man’s lips moved a bit too fast for him to read what they said. “What?” He managed to say, though something sounded off with his voice. Like he couldn’t exactly pronounce the word.
"Uh, Charlotte Walker. . . but I go by Charlie." She replied, pushing herself up and leaning against the wall, her prosthetic leg almost buckling under her weight.
"I am glad to meet you Char-Lee." Harper said. It had been a while since she had talked to anyone.
"Hi? I have breakfast?" Benji scratched the back of his head, just as confused as the boy in front of him.
(ahhh im here now sorry)
"I am glad to meet you Char-Lee." Harper said. It had been a while since she had talked to anyone.
"Nice to meet you too." Charlie replied, holding her hand out for Harper to shake it.

August still had no clue what the man was saying. “I’m deaf, can’t hear,” he managed to say, motioning to his ears with his hands as he did so, grimacing. It was always uncomfortable when someone tried to talk to him without knowing.
(Who's August talking to?)
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know. You would think they'd tell me about this, right? They just said, here's the breakfast tray, his name is August, go give him some food, but I like, barely know anything about you, so like, I don't even know and now they've put me in an entirely awkward situation and oh god why am I still talking you don't know what I'm saying." Benji extended a hand, blushing. His hands were clumsy as he tried to sign, 'I have breakfast.'
(so should i just wake up now?)

(Benji, @NERDs character. And yes, just jump in)
August watched his signing. They were a bit clumsy, and not all the movements were exactly correct, but it was still understandable. “Where am I?” He asked, speaking for the man’s sake.
His neighbor had been deaf, but the last time he'd used sign language was years ago. Benji bit his lip, trying to remember the some signs. He lit up, remembering some and started to sign, praying it was right. 'I don't know what this place is either. I just have food.'
Nia woke up in a cold sweat, curled up in a ball. Where am I?
She opened her eyes and tried to make sense of her surroundings. Her body was cold and heavy, and she felt a sudden felt a shooting pain in her right forearm. Squinting her eyes, she managed to see something that looked like an iv. Nia winced as she tried to sit up and reached to pull it out. This isn't right.

August frowned slightly. ‘Well how do you not know? You work here?’ He switched to sign, hands moving in quick, fluid motions.
'I'm new.' Benji shrugged. 'I don't even remember applying for the job.'

‘What? What is this place?’ August signed quickly, brow furrowed in confusion.
Benji considered this for a moment, tapping the ground with his baseball bat. 'A hospital?'
