[ Your designated room appears to be a modern but simple hospital room, with an adjustable electronic chair and curtain dividing one side of the room from the other. On the curtained side, there is a tray of basic surgery equipment, though nothing electric. That would be too easy, wouldn't it? At least(?) the chair has straps, to bind unruly subjects.

On the other side of the room are several chairs, what appears to be an iPad with a health chart listing a number of patients. You may select from a number of options to send "remedies" to those patients. There is also a pharmacy counter, though rather than a window, there is only a thin slit the width of a single piece of paper.

And of course, your patient(s)—or hostage(s), if you prefer—is in the middle of the room, though . . . strangely placed. A glass bubble, 6ft by 6ft, hangs from the ceiling, somewhat like an upside-down snowglobe. Eight tubes connect the orb to the ceiling, and one tube connects it to the floor. From above, your patient(s) can see most things in the room, including the surgery table even when the curtains are drawn.

It's currently empty—aside from your patient—for now. ]

You kidding? I bet some of them are jumping for joy about being more shameless than they usually are.

[ Okay, probably actually not. But it's hardly going to be the most sinful thing to them. ]

. . . Probably you are right.

[ HEATHENS. All of you. ]

But even shameless, I am a good boy. I hope that oneesan praises me for doing so well. ♪

Oneesan?

[ Normally Astrid takes the not knowing what people are saying thing mostly in stride but now she just kind of stares at him blankly, mildly irritated. ]

Oneesan! My beautiful queen, Yvette of BARiTONES. She is lovely! A truly capable and hard-working woman. She is magnificent.

I also want to be pet by Persicaria-san. Or my cousin. But Natsu-kun is finicky sometimes. And if Persicaria-san is in this game, she might not be up for it after.

[ =( ]

[ She groans - Shudders and makes a face: ]

I was right before. You really do never make sense.

[ TAIL WAGS. ]

It's nice. You should try it too, Astrid-san.

[ His legs are jelly so he just wiggles toward her. ]

Go on, go on. My ears are soft.

[ She recoils in apparent disgust - ]

I'm good thanks. Not.

[ And she pixes up the axe and taps it on the floor as if to make a point. What point? Who knows. ~~She probably might enjoy petting his ears, under different circumstances.~~ ]

[ Crawlsss closerrrr. You know you wanna pet him. YOU KNOW YOU DO. ]

[ If he touches her she will bend his hand back. But for the moment she glowers at him, irritable: ]

Shouldn't we be focused on like - anything else but now?

[ why astrid? you've already turned in - ]

[ Lies down. ]

Now there is nothing left to do but wait.

[ right... waiting. ]

[ She grumbles something and then gets up and - Sorry, Tsukasa, you might not want to get up since she just starts mumbling something as she aims to break everything in the room with her axe. You're welcome. ]

[ Whoops. Activates appel]

Calm down. You shall wear yourself out and we may have much more yet to face.

Edited 2022-10-06 03:45 (UTC)

[ She stops suddenly. ]

[ She's going to... Be so mad when it unactivates here in a moment - ]

Breathing exercises may help.

[ She rounds on him, eyes narrowed as daggers. And then she aims to punch him - with her good hand! - hard. ]

You did not just use that on me.

[ Whoops. T-Time to simultaneously do three things at once. Feint, Living Forge, and Warpstrike. ]

Pardon me.

[ The Feint disappears as the punch flies through it. Meanwhile, holding onto a sword that also vanishes almost as soon as it is noticed, he's on the other side of the room after summoning and warping to the weapon. ]

[ She would have fallen over if not for Stability. That doesn't make her any less angry or embarassed. She growls in frustration throwing her hands up: ]

Of course you would be the one to be a cheat.

[ She'll use Living Forge herself to materialize another axe and yeet it at him. And then another. ]

Edited 2022-10-06 03:57 (UTC)

I never cheat.

Yeah. Sure you don't.

[ Angry, irritable. Going to sit somewhere ---> over here, away from him. Nursing her pride by staring at a wall, arms crossed, instead of anywhere at him. Yes. ]

[ Suddenly music as he pulls up his phone. ]

[ ...Side-eyeing. ]

[ SINGING ALONG TO IT. With just a small pause - ]

Go on and sing along with me, you'll feel better. ♪

I don't - [ sing ] - I don't even know what you're singing!

Would you like for me to teach you after all of this is over?

That sounds like a terrible idea.

[ For both of them honestly. ]
