( Everything hurts.

That's supposedly the sacrifice made when you walk out of a hospital before being discharged, but that doesn't make it any more pleasant. By the time he walks out of the sheriff's station it's a sorry sight indeed, but at least he has clothes now. And a number of other belongings, actually, each more confusing than the last. More than anything he feels the overwhelming urge to investigate though, so...

Well, that's exactly what he does.

It's slow-going, due in part to old and new injuries, and mostly because he can barely remember a thing. Stops are frequent and extended, and the real problem is that Sam has no idea where he needs to begin in his line of questioning. More than once he stops, shakes his head and tries to laugh as he starts again. It's not funny, it's frustrating, but he's trying at least. )

Sorry, I'm- it's been a long day. ( And it looks like it, too. In fact, long day doesn't begin to cover it, but he just straightens up and swallows before continuing. It's fine. ) So...how long did you say you've been here?

( Of course he goes out into the woods. All it takes is the scream and Sam is off, moving slowly and carefully through the woods and looking intently at everything. He knows that he's looking for something, but how exactly he knows what to look for is beyond him. It's working though, so he keeps following the evidence of the trail and wonders what exactly he'll do when he finds the source of that sound.

As it turns out, that's not what he needed to wonder about, at all. Instead it's scary walls and ominous signs, and maybe he should listen and turn back now, but that just doesn't feel like it's the right thing to do. So he frowns, already feeling sluggish, but he pushes through. There's got to be something about this wall, something...out of the ordinary. Something not natural. Closer investigation is clearly needed. )

N E T W O R K.

Seeking information on an accidents occurring in the last 1-3 weeks. Sightings, reports, anything you've got. Recommendations for the best cup of joe would be good, too. Thanks in advance, everyone.

PS. If it means anything: Poughkeepsie.
