Mathias heaved a sigh, walking through the frigid hallways of Consilium's, he never really grew tired of the place, though its inhabitants were an entirely different story, namely the male ones. He'd been given news by one of the more skittish nurses that a new patient had arrived; this girl had apparently needed four of their larger retrieval men to hold her down and inject the poor thing with a sedative.
His large feet fell against the elderly tile floor with quiet slaps announcing each footfall; his head pivoted on his neck to peer into the patients' rooms. He smiled at some of them, turned his gaze away from others, but he stopped when he reached a sign marked, "Volatile and dangerous; doctors enter with caution." He smiled gently at the sign, opening the heavy steel door beside it and peering inside before checking his previously-pocketed notepad, seeing an adorable little Swedish name on his paper.
"Kristina? Are you awake?" He asked quietly, raising his blonde eyebrows and stepping through the door into her room, letting his bright blue eyes fall upon everything that occupied the space the girl had been given to survive in. He chuckled softly, noting the lack of a window in this particular room-even the kind with bars on it. "You must really have it bad if you're in here without a window..." He mused innocently, pulling a pair of latex gloves out of his pocket and tugging them on before making his way over to her cautiously.
Kristina let out a soft groan as she began to regain consciousness. The last things she could remember were these weird men in white coats, with white rubber gloves barging into her room while she was reading and then demanding that she come with them. It all went blank after that, although she could vaguely recall the faint pinprick in her arm of what felt like a needle if she thought about it hard enough. That made her head start to hurt though and she reached up to rub her temples as she tried to look around at the room she was now in. There were no windows and only a heavy steel door, the metal bed she was on with a lumpy mattress, a chipped porcelain sink with a sheet of metal above it standing in for a mirror, and a chipped porcelain toilet with a shower curtain contraption around it for a bit of privacy. If she could hazard a guess it looked like she was in some kind of jail cell.
Her eyes snapped up as she heard the door opening, letting some light into the dark room, and she tilted her head to the side, ready to bombard whoever was walking in with questions as to why the hell she was here, and where the fuck was she?She looked up, glaring at whoever had walked in as her head pounded. She idly wondered if they had Asprin here.
"Where am I and who are you?" She snapped at the man that had walked into her room, while adjusting her glasses that had fallen askew on her face.
Mathias chuckled gently when Kristina asked him those questions, sliding down into a seat on top of the sink while he looked her over. His blue eyes picked up on all of her assets easily despite the layer of blue fabric hiding her chest and curved waist from view. Large, developed breasts, soft curves, pretty face, nice long legs... he'd have fun with her, but plans of that nature needed time to develop into actions.
"You're just..." He began, peeking at his notepad again and raising his eyebrows at seeing her particular disorder. Multiple personalities. "You're where you belong, of course!" He chuckled gently, letting a bright smile cover his face as he thought about how each of her personalities may react to what he planned on doing.
"You're in Svalbard, those nice cold island up northwards of Sweden and Norway..." He continued, smiling at her again and crossing his arms. "So, I'm assuming that I'm talking to Kristina right now... who are the others and how many are there?" He asked, raising his eyebrows in mild curiosity while he stared her down and his imposing form blocked her only passage of escape. "Can I meet them? It's just a bunch of doctor stuff that I have to ask you about... as for who I am, my name is Mathias Kholer, and I'm one of the lead doctors in this loony bin." He chuckled, smiling at her widely now, the skin around his eyes crinkling mildly from the size of his smile.
Her eyes went wide with a mixture of horror, curiosity, fear, and downright confusion as he spoke. "I don't know what you're talking about. I should be home right now, not... here, wherever hereis." She snapped, glaring at him even more. "And I don't know what you mean but 'who are the others and how many are the-'" She froze mid sentence, face going completely blank for a few seconds, before a nasty grin spread across her face and she stood up from the bed. "I apologize for the bitch, she doesn't really know what's going in this pretty little head of ours." She purred darkly, sauntering forwards. "As for how many of us there are, well there's me, Nisline if you must call me something. There's the bitch, or Kristina as you seem to call her, and the filthy little weakling Sophie." She said, smirking.
"Now, how about you let me go, and I won't be forced to kill you along with everyone else here to get out." She said matter-of-factly, standing in front of him with her arms crossed, chin lifted haughtily as she glared icily at the doctor.
Mathias nodded at the events that played out before him, smiling lopsidedly and nodding at the newly-found personality. "All right... you must be the protector then, the crazy one... and Kristina's the base personality, I'm guessing?" He asked, blinking at her innocently and tilting his head to the side. His eyes noted all of the subtle changes from Kristina to Nisline, her posture no longer as rigid, her walk lumbering, and her smile cracked. "Something horrible must have happened to Kristina way back in the day, there's always a cause for these things." He chuckled, shrugging his shoulders and uncrossing his arms.
"As for letting you out... I'm terribly afraid, Nisline, that I can't do that for you.. I need to get a look at all of you pretty little things; can I speak to Sophie? That's her name, right? The 'filthy little weakling'?" He asked calmly, reaching into his coat pocket and pulling out a pen to accompany the notepad in his right hand. "Which one of you spends the most time at the wheel?" He asked casually, scrawling down a few quick words on the sheet of paper with his left hand.
Nisline glowered at Mathias, a dark sneer appearing on her face as she looked at him. "Or maybe Kristina is just a stupid little bitch who can't deal with real life, and the real world." She snapped. She stepped forwards quickly, reaching out to grab the front of his lab coat, yanking him up to her level so she could glare at him even more as she whispered in a deadly voice. "Listen here, and listen closely you useless dumbshit. The other two might not have the guts to kill everybody in this damn facility and make their escape, but I assure you that I have absolutely no problem with killing absolutely everyone here and making my escape." She snarled at him.
"Besides, Sophie is much to pathetic to even want to talk to you- irk!" She jolted back, letting go of him and clutching her head before her face went blank again. She fell to the floor, landing on her butt, and looking up at him with wide innocent eyes, her head tilted to the side. "Hello..." She whispered quietly, looking up at him with curiosity. "I'm Sophie... Y-You wanted to talk to me?" She asked quietly, scooting backwards a little, until her back hit the wall, and she pulled her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them, looking slightly terrified, but cautious as she looked up at the doctor.
Mathias's bright blue eyes snapped open wide when Nisline grabbed onto the front of his lab coat and pulled him up. He stared back at her with mild nervousness twinkling in his irises when she growled at him. "Now now, Nisline, there's no need to get physical with me..." He said, furrowing his eyebrows when she surged away from him, tilting his head to the side at the new personality he was confronting.
He smiled at her gently, reaching down to pat the top of her head carefully, as if she was a kitten and he was afraid of breaking her. "Hello, Sophie; my name is Mathias Kholer. I just spoke to Nisline and Kristina before she appeared." He began, keeping his tone with her gentle and slow, almost like he was speaking to a mentally... well, retarded person as opposed to an ill child. "Do you know anything about them? Have any feelings towards either of them; good, bad, indifferent?" He asked, raising his eyebrows at her carefully and brushing his latex-covered thumb over her hair, the rubbery material clinging to her hair and pulling it with him while images danced in his head;another type of rubber tugging at a very different patch of hair and for different reasons, obviously.
Sophie stared up at him, head still tilted to the side as he spoke to her slowly. "I'm not stupid you know, I knew that they were talking to you.." She whispered quietly, looking down at the tops of her knees as she hugged them. "Nis scares me... And Kristi doesn't even know that I exist..." She mumbled, frowning a little. She let out a sound that seemed a bit like purring as he brushed his latex-covered thumb over her hair. She sighed softly, hugging her knees even tighter, before a slight look of confusion crossed her face, before she shook her head a little, seemingly having an inner conversation with herself, or the other two personalities she shared Kristina's body with.
"That's odd..." She mumbled to herself, before flinching as Nisline screamed in her head for her to hand over control again so she could kill the 'stupid, asshole who dared to get that close to HER body'.
"Nis doesn't like you... Not at all..." She said quietly, flinching again as the screaming in her head increased in volume and she covered her ears with her hands, as if that would block out the other persona's screams. She refused to hand over control of thought, and kept a firm grip on the body, until Kristina woke up again to take control... Or the budding personality that had started to form gained enough coherency to take control.
"All right... I didn't mean to make you think that I thought you were stupid; but from what Nisline told me, you're very skittish and afraid of things... I know I'm a big, imposing man, so I didn't want to scare you." He said softly, raising his eyebrows at how she argued with the other personalities in her head.
"As for Nisline not liking me... That's really not my problem, she can hate me all she wants; I'm stronger than you guys, and if need be I could protect myself." He said gently, smiling at her and furrowing his eyebrows when she curled in on herself. "Is she yelling at you?" He asked quietly, now beginning to worry for the apparently naive and good-hearted personality. "And what's odd? Does Nisline not usually yell at you or something? It seems to me that she's the personality that really controls everything even though she's not the base..." He said, pursing his lips now in curiosity and awaiting an answer.
Sophie flinched again as Nisline's screams increased in volume again, the psychopathic personality now screeching at her in a pitch that made her ears and head hurt even more. She covered her head with her arms, curling in on herself even more as she let out a whimper as Nisline screamed about how she could easily take down the doctor, he would barely be a challenge at all. The real challenges would be making sure she didn't get tranquilized again, like she had been by one of the four men who had showed up to take her here.
"Sh-She is yelling at me... Nis always yells at me..." She whimpered out softly, flinching again as Nisline yelled at her even more for telling him that. 'Be quiet you stupid whore! Shut your damn mouth and do not say another word. Or I will make sure that you neverget out again.'Nisline hissed at her venomously. Sophie took a shaky breath, doing her best to ignore the other persona for now.
"A-And what's odd is there's a n-new persona here now... I-It's still forming and isn't coherent yet... B-But I can feel it in here..." She mumbled quietly, confusion on her face again as she innocently tilted her head to the side while she pondered over what this new persona might be like. That is if it ever grew a conscious and an actual personality, which it seemed to be doing now.
"Ah..." Mathias mused quietly, furrowing his brows and now thinking over how much he disliked the aggressive personality hiding in Kristina's brain. This one wasn't bad, she was almost like a lost puppy that had been thrown into the middle of a highway. "She's really just thoughts, you know; Nis... She can't hurt you as long as you're in control of the body." He said, nodding in agreement with his own words, though there was nothing in medical books or oral history to prove his statement.
Though when Sophie mentioned the new personality, he cocked his head to the side while a voice in the back of his brain laughed quietly, a smirk peeling across its invisible face while it whispered, This one really likes ya~ she'll be the easiest to get into bed with... maybe the new one'll like ya even more.It said, forcing Mathias to think briefly about what it would be like to bed one of the personalities. Sophie may like me, but I think she's too much of a child to let me get that far... not that that's ever stopped me before, but let's see about this new personality like you said, so far only one of them really hates me. He thought back at the miniature voice, continuing to brush his hand against the top of Sophie's head gently before opening his mouth to speak.
"What does the new one seem like? Is it a male or female personality?" He asked curiously, sincerely hoping that it was feminine, and easy at that.
Sophie continued to keep making that soft purring sound as he brushed his hand over her head, closing her eyes as a small smile spread across her face as she sighed quietly. "Nis can hurt me if she really wants to... She can hurt our body and then force me into control to feel all the pain, and she can essentially shove me into a corner of Kristina's mind and keep me there, but that takes a lot of effort to do..." She said quietly, before going quiet altogether as she cautiously started to try and talk to the new persona that was forming, more rapidly than it had been before now.
'Hello?'She asked the budding personality quietly in her head, not really expecting to get an answer, so she was a little surprised when she heard a very faint 'Hello..'get called back to her, in an obviously feminine voice. 'Who are you?'Sophie asked the faint voice in curiosity, all the while trying to keep Nisline at bay, and away from the new persona.
'You may call me Ylva.'The voice said, growing stronger and seeming to step in between Sophie and Nisline, the former letting out an audible-in-the-real-world sigh of relief when this new persona.. Ylva? Pushed Nis back even more.
"She says her name is Ylva..." Sophie spoke out loud softly after being quiet for about fifteen, or twenty minutes it seemed to her.
Mathias nodded gently while he watched Sophie talk to the other personalities, smiling at the words Sophie had used to describe the newcomer, and that she now seemed a bit more at-ease with him and herself... or rather, her bodily self.
He thought over the new name, nodding in mild approval at the way it sounded before saying it himself; "Ylva..." He said tentatively, almost like he was tasting the way it sounded and weighing it on his tongue. "Pretty name; what's she like?" He asked quietly, still mildly concerned over how he approached Sophie, not wanting to frighten or weaken her, and henceforth release Nisline on himself again.
He continued to brush his hand against her head, watching how she curled in on herself and eventually stopping the little strokes he was applying to her hair, instead deciding to pat her head rather than rip the hairs out from the roots with the grip of his gloves. "Is Ylva strong enough to take control for a little while?" He asked quietly, now wanting to explore this new personality that had apparently formed.
Sophie had relaxed more once Ylva was in the way of Nisline screeching at her, and had apparently done something to shut up the psychopathic persona, which helped even more. She smiled up at Mathias and nodded in response to his second question. "She's nice, and made Nis shut up. Ylva wants to talk to you now, and she says that she's strong enough to take control, so I'm handing control over to her now." She told him, before doing just that. The blond's face went utterly blank for a few seconds, before she blinked, unwrapping her arms from around her knees to lift them above her head as she stretched, cracking her neck as she moved it from side to side. Ylva smirked up at the doctor, looking up at him through her eyelashes as Sophie went willingly back to the back of Kristina's mind, where she knew Nisline wouldn't bother her.
"Hello there~" The newest persona drawled out, smirking crookedly up at the doctor that she wanted all to herself. "I, am Ylva." She said, introducing herself as she leaned back against the wall, crossing her arms over her chest as she kept right on smirking.
Mathias nodded approvingly while Ylva made herself known, and Sophie disappeared back into Kristina's head. He let his eyes drink in all the changes from Sophie that Ylva brought with her as he leaned back against the metal mirror. "You're very different from the other three, aren't you?" He asked, smirking back at her gently and letting a chuckle roll through his chest and out through his mouth before crossing his arms and looking her up and down again. "Kristina doesn't seem to like me an awful lot, maybe it's just because she's got absolutely no idea that you and the others are here and she's terrified; Nisline hates me because I'm keeping her here, and Sophie doesn't seem to mind me, but I think that she'd prefer it if she was just back at home with Kristina's parents relaxing and doing girly things... but I don't know an awful lot about you..." He trailed off, letting his eyes run over the same body he'd been looking at for a while now, just taking in how differently it was presented. Chest pushed out, hips exaggerated and legs shown off subtly, just enough to catch his attention and hold it hostage as he stood up to his full height, smiling down at Ylva gently, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "I may not know a lot about you and all, but I doget the feeling that you like me more than the others do." He said quietly.
Ylva smirked at him some more, standing up to her full height as well, placing her hands on her hips, feet spread apart as she stood there. "Well you seem to know everything about my 'neighbours' already, not that any of them are very hard to figure out. Kristi takes a while to get used to new things, places, and people, and she much prefers to be left alone to read more than anything. Nisline hates everyone and everything and just wants to kill everybody in the bloodiest way possible. It's her fault that we're here actually, since she just can't stay quiet. And Sophie's a sweetheart and doesn't like trouble, but she likes everyone, even Nis up to a point." She sauntered forward so she was standing right in front of him, looking up at him through her eyelashes again.
"And you're right about me as well, I dolike you, quite a lot at that. It's the whole reason why I was born in the first place~" She purred at him, smirk widening even more as she took one more step forwards so her chest was pressed flush against his.
He bit into his lip to restrain himself when she spread her feet apart, his mind twisting the image into one with her legs further apart and his hips nestled between them. "Ah... so you dolike me more than the others do..." He said softly, reaching up and raising one blonde eyebrow at her before he let his mammoth left hand rest against the right side of her face. "You say that you were born to like me? My, my... you're going to be a lot of fun, aren't you~?" He purred, leaning in close and stepping forward, pressing her further back against the wall, supporting his weight with his right arm against the wall behind Ylva. "I can almost smellhow much fun we're going to have together..." He whispered dangerously, pressing his face past her own until his breath tickled the shell of her ear. "And you're rather strong, enough so to keep Nisline at bay with relative ease..." He cooed, daring to nip at her earlobe gently.
Ylva's smirk widened as she stepped back so she was pressed against the wall. Oh she was glad that she had this doctor all to herself, since the only other one that even remotely liked him was Sophie, and she was much too innocent to even think of doing the stuff with Mathias that Ylva knew he wanted to do with her. He was practically an open book and so easy to read, which just made things all the more fun for her.
She tilted her head to the side a little, grinning up at him. "Of course I'm going to be fun~ And of course I'm strong enough to keep that nuisance at bay, I'm brand new, whereas she's been around since Kristi was young, much like Sophie, except that Sophie has almost always been around." She said, reaching up to pat his cheek lightly. "But now, I think it's about time for Kristina to wake back up, what do you say?" She asked the doctor, smirking again.
Mathias growled playfully when she mentioned Kristina, nipping at her ear again. "I look forward to having fun with you... all I can hope for is that you don't randomly turn into Nisline while we're having fun." He paused, leaning his head into the curve of her neck gently, breathing hotly against the skin there before continuing. "Or Sophie, sweet little thing as she is, if she woke up with me sweating over her I think that'd stun her badly enough to wake Nisline up, in which case I'd probably die." He chuckled, nuzzling her a bit before sinking his teeth into the skin of her neck. "And why do you wanna let Kristina wake back up? She'll just cry at me." He whined softly, letting his right arm travel down to her slim waist, his hand pressing against and and tugging it up so her torso touched his own.
Ylva smiled up at him, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing a swift kiss to his cheek. "Sorry darling, but I have to go and stop Nissy-dear from tearing poor little Sophie apart. So I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave you to deal with a confused and pissed off Kristi. It's a good thing you shouldn't have any other patients to see to today, as she is going to throw a fit, and Nis might make another appearance." She said, still smiling.
"I'll talk to you later then~" She drawled, before her face went blank, signifying that control was being switched between personas.
Kristina didn't even remember a thing from before she blanked out, or a thing that had happened during it, all she knew was that she was dead tired right now, and the Swedish girl then proceeded to do the only thing she could right now. She fainted.
