Who: Steve Rogers and anyone who wants to get in on his Sick Ward-wrecking shenanigans (or stop them)
What: Steve's using the distraction caused by a few other Patients to get into Sick Ward and do as much damage as possible.
Where: Sick Ward on the Clipper
When: Shortly after Raylan's adventures in the Treehouse start.
Warnings: None yet, please add if needed!

Shortly after Raylan gets started with his assault on the Treehouse, Steve and a small group of Patients rush into the Sick Ward. (Well. The group may be small. A few of them — Steve, Stone, perhaps others — are pretty physically large.)

They look harried. Worried. Like they want to help. There are fires upstairs — and the Assistants trying to handle it desperately need help up there. (Baymax, if he's present, will definitely hear someone yelling Ow! in the distance, up the stairs.)

That's likely enough to get most Assistants out. If there are stragglers, the Patients will continue to insist, maybe even sort of crowd them toward the door. Steve says he knows medicine, can help triage if needed, but he's not an Assistant and can't help with containing things upstairs. It seems to be getting louder. There might even be sounds of an explosion. Also, that alarm starts blaring. Seriously, you'd really better go.

Any Assistants who don't leave will be distracted and clocked on the back of the head, then restrained in one of the Patient rooms. Their wearable will likely be taken. After all, if you can't a) get a clear line of sight on the Patients causing trouble or b) press a button, then you can't paralyze them, now can you?

Then the real fun begins. The group barricades the door to the Sick Ward as best they can from the inside. And they get to work systematically damaging or disabling everything they can. It might not be efficient to slice up and saw through padded restraints with safety scissors and bandage shears, but they're dedicated. The push over "treatment" tables. They break or pour out any containers of sedatives they can find, they kick the dang music speakers, anything they can damage with the limitations of normal human strength and no weapons. It's actually a lot. They're resourceful. And anything they can do to make Sick Ward a little less convenient or usable, they do it.

It can't last forever, of course. Either Assistants will realize what's happening, or the fallout from what's going on upstairs will eventually clash with the operation in progress down here. But for a little while, at least, the Sick Ward is going to be much harder to use to restrain, sedate, and kill (metaphorically, of course) with kindness.

[OOC: Please feel free to have your Patient join in or your Assistant realize what's up and come to stop them! This is open to absolutely everybody. Obviously they know they can't get far and their supplies/options are limited. Steve will make sure everyone's clear that they will probably be punished, though he will absolutely try to take as much of the blame as possible. The idea is to send a message while also making it that much harder to put Patients in mandatory time out for a while. It may or may not work.]

Threaded | Flat

Steve may not have superhuman strength, but he still knows how to throw a punch. Or hit somebody on the head from behind really, really hard. He takes charge as much as he can, getting them in and directing people to areas they know they want to damage or destroy. He gets Stone to barricade the door when it's needed. He lets Alphonse take any wearables or look for texts if that's what he prefers. He uses anything and everything he can to cause damage.

And he is absolutely the first person visible when the door finally opens - or is opened at the end of it all. "It was my idea. I made them help."

"Oh sweet, you guys are here already!" pipes up a loud, drawling, delighted voice from the other side of the barricade. "Lemme in! I brought fire!"

There's definitely something burning. It's his straw hat.

Jedao loves the Clipper 90% of the time but he does hate the Sick Ward, and doesn't see any contradiction between these two things.

Sick Ward

Cloud's just hanging out in the Sick Ward (likely with Sephiroth, possibly with Zack somewhere nearby), doing the laziest sick impression, when people come rushing in. Without much of a pause, he begins tossing a good portion of rubbing alcohol and alcohol wipes into his bag, along with some various flammable things.

"You guys took too long."

It's said with very lazy, lighthearted sass as he finishes his thievery. Cotton balls, gauze, and those... little wooden stick things (like hell Cloud knows) top the supplies off, and he's tossing the bag over his shoulder as he starts towards the exit. Time to leave before the barricading happens!

Common Area

So, Cloud's had more than enough of the forced singalongs and play time. His submission for the suggestion box will be in the form of turning the fun and games into a (very controlled) burn pit. He's honestly just aiming to be the main distraction from whatever's going on with the tree. The oil is used to make a trail towards the massive pile of things to be burned. Which is where the alcohol has been poured, and where any otherwise harmless aerosol cans have been tossed. There might be very small explosions, but Cloud aimed to have that pile of stuff as far from any doors as possible. He gives Sephiroth a small smirk.

"Ready to see how they act?"

He will keep something on him at all times that's for blocking any sedation attempts. Despite the situation, he won't actually aim to do more than tripping someone or pulling an Uno Reverse. Basically just stealing any sedatives and the devices that can paralyze, and using those on the Assistants. Frankly, Cloud's entire point here is to show that violence doesn't always cause death or terrible injuries. And that bottled emotions are far more dangerous than any obvious weapon.

If there's one thing Alfredo's good at, that he hasn't gotten to do as much as he liked, it's climb things.

If there are small spaces, he's going to try squeezing inside them, to see if there's any vertical room to be found.

If he can make footholds on the inner walls of the Sick Ward as they stand, he'll make his way up to the ceiling.

And if anyone finds him some thick enough rope, or ties enough durable string together, he'll make himself some hooks and things will really get parkour-y!

He'll also help collect glass pieces, if anyone manages to find and break any such things. Never know how useful those can be!

Yunlan knocks a shave-and-a-haircut pattern against the Sickbay doors when he gets there. He is, unfortunately, in no shape to help tear things up. He's gone an unhealthy-looking gray in the face, he's clutching his right arm tightly across his belly, and he's wobbly enough that he has to lean against the wall beside the doors to stay standing.

"Hello in there!" he calls, a wry twist to his voice. "Think you could let a guy in to come look for some gauze?"

Do they even have gauze? The best he's seen in Sickbay so far, apart from all the damn sedatives, are band-aids with dinosaurs on them.
