"How? Easy! 'All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy,'" she quoted with a big grin. Brilliant words from a brilliant man. "Anyone can snap if they go through a rough enough time, ya know. Just gotta find that button and push it! A buncha times. ...And if that don't work, could always knock their heads a bit." Like they did in those amnesia stories.

Unfortunately this guy spotted the problem before Harley had: Nurses. Okay, maybe she hadn't thought this one through all the way. There was only so much one could do with those biddies eyeballing you every second of the day. She looked around the room at all the nurses scattered along the walls. All packed and ready to pump you full of meds the second you even looked at them funny.

She gave off a defeated pout at their presence. It stank when you had the energy to do something but couldn't do it. "...You gotta point. Those ol' stiffs always ruin everything. You know, even when you think no one's lookin' there's always one that somehow catches ya. It's not fair!" She sighed. "Sooo, I guess we couldn't really do much til the doors open, 'nless we get a fire drill or something."

Note to Self: Look for Fire Alarm pull switch thingie.

"Sechs?" That name. It was better than those Japanese ones she couldn't pronounce, but there was something about it. She felt like she knew that name from somewhere. Not back home, nope. It was right on the edge of her mind as something recognizable but she couldn't quite pinpoint from where Wait... wait... Nope. No clue. Oh well, she'd remember eventually. "That's a strange name. Prolly better than whatever the hags are givin' ya, though." Another glance at the biddies before turning back to Sechs with a grin. "I got enougha people calling me that stupid nurse name. I don't need another one. Just call me Harley, 'kay?"
