~Test Town~
That song, where did he hear it from? Bean's head throbed like a sledge hammer was turning his brains to mush. But the song, it wasn't the Oak song, this one had words. He looked around at his surroundings, and measured up that he had no idea where he was. That he remembered going to Bloody hand and just waiting. There he turned and saw Bloody hand singing.
Sway to and fro in the twilight gray,
This is the ferry to Shadowtown;
It always sails at the end of day,
Just as the
darkness is closing down.
Rest, little head, on my shoulder, so;
A sleepy kiss is the only fare,
Drifting away from the world we go,
Baby and I in the rocking chair.
See where the firelogs glow and spark,
Glitter the lights of the Shadowland;
The winter rain in the window, hark!
Are ripples lapping upon its strand.
There! where the mirror glows dim,
A lake lies shimmering cool and still,
Blossoms are waving above its brim,
Those over there on the windowsill.
Rock slow, move slow in the dusky light,
Silently lower the anchor down,
Dear little passanger, say “Good night.”
We've reach'd the harbor of Shadowtown.
---Ferry of Shadowtown, Author Unknown
“Oh, Bean your awake. You've been asleep for over a day and a half. Its just about dinner time. Are you hungry?” Marvin approached Bean's bed and sat down at the edge to not appear threatening. Bean still seemed a little shell shocked but he nodded his head. “OK, but you haven't really eaten anything for about two weeks, so small frequent meals, or when ever your hungry, ok? If you eat large meals than you'll get sick.” Marvin paused and realized he could have slept longer he asked, “ Did I wake you?”
Bean was shocked that this Doctor guy was actually worried that he cared about his well being, only his family ever cared. He shook his head, focus on the now. “ What was that song you just sang? I remember it from somewhere, but t the same time I'm drawing a blank. Oh, what's your name?” After all the excitement Bean did not want Bloody hand, Doctor guy to get angry with him for not actually talking to him by name.
“Opps, yeah, my name is Marvin.” He actually blushed and thought, poor kid prolly calling me Bloody fist or Doctor dude. “ It's called 'Shadowtown'. My mom use to sing that to before I would go to bed. Its a very old song. Few still remember all the words. So what would you like fore dinner?”
“M-Marvin, can I have a... umm.. what's it called?” Bean's mind drew a blank. Man, its that thing. Oh, right. “A grilled cheese. I-Is that ok? You don't have to call me Bean by the way.” He took in the seniere around him, white walls, white sheeted bed. It was a small room, perfect size for Bean. The odd thing was the frames on the walls, but no pictures or paintings. Blanks, to say he was dumbfounded was an understatement.
Marvin cleared his throat, noticing Bean spacing out in deep thought. “ Ok. Grilled cheese is perfect,” Marvin paused so Bean would notice, “Julian. Are you sure you want me to call you that?” Marvin seemed kinda worried that Bean was acting jittery and nervous, but on top of that he couldn't call him Bean. Only family calls him Julian. Something seems off.
Just as Marvin and Bean were going to go down the hallway, to the stairs, to the kitchen; the phone rang. Marvin excused himself, and walked down the hall to his room. He sat on the bed and waited slowly reaching the tan, corded phone. Six, seven, eight rings. He picked up and waited. “Hello, this is Marvin.”
“Marvin, its Snow. I need you to be extra, extra careful. Smith's nephew broke out. We believe he is headed to Test Town.” Marvin got up out of his bed, phone base in hand, and walked to the door. Bean was looking around the hall, still taking in stock of his surroundings. I bet he's wondering about the frames, or mayhaps, the white crispness? “Marvin, hey Marvin!” Snow screamed in the phone. Irritation lacing his voice.
“Pay attention. Smith's nephew is going to kill him. Do you understand? He said that God told him to kill the little guy. We are on high alert, no one comes in or leaves Test Town, unless Smith approves three days in advance. We are worried for the little guy too. For fucks sakes, Todd, was strapped to a fucking bomb and lived. He destroyed Section P and half of level A. Smith barely made it out
in time.” A moment of silence as Snow began again his voice breaking and raspy, “Have you been outside?”
Marvin was taken by suprise at the change in topic, “Oh, no. He just woke up. It's up to him really, when he wants to,” he paused as Bean landed his eyes on him. He sighed, obviously he knows I'm talking about him, but, “well you know.”
Snow caught on to what Marvin impleid. “Ok just so you know, be wary when you go out side with him. Alright? Don't ask right now, were still looking into it. Just trust me. If anything or anyone looks suspicious dial three one one and pound. For now, just focus on him, kay?”
And with that last thought the line went dead. Marvin walked back to the wooden night stand on the right side of his bed. He sighed a heavy sigh. Snow never gets agitated, Marvin pondered, I wonder if it worse than what he's letting on. Marvin started to walk down the hall way than he realized something and stopped, it felt like he was punched in the gut. Oh, no. No. Marvin leaned up again the wall and slowly slid down the wall. He just saw her. She was like a den mother to all the new guys.
Bean had no idea what was going on. One minute Marvin's on the phone talking to someone about him, than he's coming down the hall way and just stops. He's never had to deal with something like this. The little tiny bot approached the crouching man with extreme caution and fear. The small child began to tremble with anxiety, and he reached out and grabbed Marvin's hand. Bean's was a blank mask of emotion as he waited for Marvin to notice him.
Marvin was shocked at Beans simple gesture to soothe him. He also noticed his short companion trembling. Not thinking, he picked Bean up once again, and hugged him. Unfortunetly, the moment was over at the sound of his stomache growling. Still holding him, though not as tight, he walked down the stairs and turned left to the kitchen. Once he sat Bean down and asked, “So you want grilled cheese, huh?” Bean simply nodded. “Ok, well that is one thing that I'm good at cooking. So just sit tight for a minute while I make it.” He turned the stove on and went to go look for the ingredients to cook. Bean sat and waited. His stomache continued to gurgle, more so when he saw the food.
Woah, thought Bean, I'm really hungry!
