[there was a soft noise that was trying to cut through the fog in Lindsey's brain as he started to open his eyes... to a pink bedroom. No... those were pink post-it notes that covered the area of wall he woke up staring at. He leaned closer and then blinked as he read a few of them, then quickly turned over as he felt a cool body shift in the blankets next to him.

Oh hi, Harmony...

Yeah, this was not wrong at all. Lindsey didn't even remember going home with her, or even seeing her on his path back from the library last night. He was pretty sure he had fallen asleep in his own bed.

Quietly, he started to slide out of bed, seeing that yes he was still in his boxers and t-shirt. That was a bit of a relief. Not that he didn't like Harmony, but they were friends and friends aren't supposed to have sex together unless they planned it and remembered it. As he stood up, his eyes took in the rest of the room with raised eyebrows.]

... wow, there were a lot of unicorns in this room.

[his eyes noticed something else in the room. A tiny crib with blue bedding. And the soft noise that had woken him up was starting to get a bit louder. Curiosity got the better of him and he walked over to look in the crib and a pair of bright blue eyes stared back at him. The baby gurgled and held it's chubby little hands up at Lindsey.]

This... ain't good at all...

[The still body that's been in the clinic for a few days decides that it wants to wake up today. Lindsey groaned, having a bit of a headache and feeling a bit drugged up. In his mind, he had just been put out for surgery that Wolfram and Hart was providing to give him back his hand. But his brain is too foggy to remember that fact right now.

Except, as he respectfully tucked under the blanket arm comes out, Lindsey rubs at his eyes with his RIGHT hand. Then he opens it and blinks a bit, staring at something that hasn't been there for a long time.

However, he's not in his bedroom either. He's been to the clinic a few times in Para and he sighs a bit, realizing he's back there again. But as he flexed his hand, a small smile came to his lips. Maybe things weren't so bad after all.]

Can't believe they actually pulled it off...


[ooc: open to anyone in the clinic]

[there is a very happy lawyer in a business suit walking through the castle, hanging up flyers in all of the spots that people would notice them. he might be whistling happily as he does so, taking each yellow flyer and making sure it's posted just perfectly.

It reads: Have you been injured? Did you die due to another's actions? Were you a victim of the recent attack by the Joker? Get turned into a fuzzy animal by the castle? If so, you might be able to get a cash settlement for your suffering. Just contact Lindsey McDonald via journal or stop by the office today for a free evaluation.

There are little tabs at the bottom with his name and room number that people can tear off for future reference as well.

Once he's done with the castle, he will move onto town and put up flyers there and then make his way to the clinic to drum up some business. It's been two weeks since the Joker's attack, so he's hoping to drum up some nice wrongful death suits he can file before the Joker goes on trail.]


[ooc: LOSS start!]

ooc: continuation of this post

[he walks into the Library with duckling!Sweets in his arm sling, the little duckling's head poking out to see where they were going and killing any ability for Lindsey to not look like he was cute having a baby duck thinking he was mama today. There's a nice seat over by the fireplace that Lindsey claims, putting the duckling on the table beside him.]

Alright, what do you want to read? The Art of Flying?

[yeah, he knows he's being sarcastic, but the talk with Jo has left a bad taste in his mouth and put him into a mood. You had it good up until then, Sweets.]

I'm going to get something. If you can't ask the castle for a book by the time I get back, we'll try something else.

[and there goes Lindsey to disappear out of sight of the duckling while he goes to find something to read]

[in his explorations around the castle, and especially with Ianto's helpful map, Lindsey was quick on learning where things were. Especially things that he wanted were. The fact that his floor also had the first floor of the library on it pleased him because if he was trapped in a castle with nothing really to do, at least he could relax in the library and catch up on some reading.]

[of course, there are three floors of books and he just keeps looking up and around, almost lost but there's a hint in his eyes like he's a little boy in the center of a candy store]

... now what am I going to read first?
