[ 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. ]

[ 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.

[ 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. ]

You may find that you like it.

Are you going to start doing axe throwing contests with me?

Fufu... I shall wait to ask until you are back to your proper height, then.

You did not just say that.

[ A Hofferson doesn't back down from a challenge!! Or something like that. ]

I do not mean that offensively. Remember, I said you are very adorable at this age. Just like my cute baby cousin. That is a compliment. He is also grumpy.

Edited 2022-10-06 04:24 (UTC)

That is not a compliment! It's like - It's like saying - [ That she's??? Not a capable warrior??? In her mind. But also right now all he is getting is Angry Astrid because she's just angry at everything (rightfully) ]

. . . ? That... you are cute?

You clearly don't get it.

[ She folds her arms: ] I don't want to be cute. No Viking wants to be cute - We want to be strong and brave.

Why not both? Someone who is cute can still be strong and brave. They do not have to be mutually exclusive.
