Sample Roleplay: Walter could never sit still even as he grew older he found that he could never just sit around even at home he was all ways cleaning something or finding something to do either out of pleasure or a force of some habit. Walter had OCD, which in short meant Obsessive-compulsive disorder this meant things had to be in the right place, and order or things would bug him. As Walter got older he found away to control his OCD to a point he would turn a blind to certain things as hard as it was but still certain things about his OCD ruled his life.
In his quarters Walter organised objects by size it was very neat and tidy and nothing was ever out of place, in the engineers office Walter organised things by alphabetical order and kept everything spotless and would ensure that his staff would put things they took back in the order from which they came or receive an evil eye. His OCD was one of his biggest weaknesses but having shared rooms with friends at Starfleet academy he had found ways to curve some of his quirks to make life bearable for those around him. The only time it showed its worse was when Walter was upset about something his quietness was another give away.
Walter had learnt to imagine that if he appeared to be extremely busy that others wouldn’t bother him. But his obsessive’ ness would only cause others to ask questions it was kind of a big give away to what mood he was in.
He sat in a large curved white/cream chair that was somewhat comfortable and Walter was half slouched with a concentrated expression a pone his face. In front of him on his desk was a screen with a red light blinking, as it was a heartbeat. Walter was expecting a message from his wife to come through any minute soon. A voice announced an in coming message from his wife she was contacting him so Walter waited a few seconds before pressing a button next to the screen an image of his wife popped up she appeared pregnant as usual and was sitting in her office at home it was the afternoon so Beth would be napping.
" Walter honey you look more worried then me!" Helen said coolly and it was true Walter did appear worried.
"I’m fine" Walter lied in a laid back fashion "Is their any news about our baby?" Walter asked a little selfishly he cared deeply for his wife but was more concerned for the baby at this time.
Helen gave him an almost hurt look she new Walter loved her very much and could see he was stressed but it couldn't have asked to ask how she was? " No change" Helen answered seeing the concerned look a pone her husbands face " I’m sorry Walter" Helen added.
" Don't be" Walter replied wondering it was a strange thing to say and began to think even more negatively about their sons situation " So long as your being looked after and your safe that’s what matters all right? Said Walter insistently. " Patty is looking after you isn't she?" he asked.
"Yes she's looking after me well and your parents came to visit too! Beth was our little star as usual, how are things aboard the Nike? No more Borg interruptions I hope, I do worry about you, you know" Helen replied having almost gone spare when she realised her husband had come so close to getting assimilated by the Borg.
" Don't worry I’m fine I’m a big boy now I can take care of myself pretty well, you just make sure Patty keeps taking good care of you" Walter replied happily smiling a little his brightened when he smiled.
Helen chuckled " Ok honey I have another appointment in four days another test its early so the next time I talk to you Beth will be awake too and you can have a chat, she misses you terribly good bye be safe" Helen replied and blew him a kiss which Walter caught and as he did the screen went blank and Helen was gone.
No development no change it looked like things could get worse he didn't like that idea like Helen he just wanted his son to be safe and well and developing. Now he had to wait four days before finding out anything new he only hopped nothing bad happened while he was away and he felt quite helpless though from experience when the birth was due he would be even more helpless. Walter only hopped that he would be back in time to see the birth of his son or would be allowed tempory leave however he new he shouldn't hold his breathe.
Walter was part of the crew which The Nike had answered a distress call to The Carolina had been destroyed shortly after the Nike had helped beam the surviving crew aboard and Walter had yet to find out his fate he was due for a review later that day to discover his new position aboard the Nike or if they deemed him worthy enough to be part of their ships crew. Walter had other things to worry about his unborn child had stopped developing and new by her behaviour that Helen wasn’t telling him everything something else was wrong but felt he would informed of any changes. He wanted to be home but new like Helen said there was nothing he could do and he would only be more distressed for worrying about the baby. Nobody new what was happening at lean not aboard The Nike but maybe he could talk to the doctors about the problem then he would have some idea as to what to say when his wife next contacted him
