[Open] Dr. Medic's Sleepaway Funtimes Camp

[mementomoritz]

I. So girl keep telling me [network post]

[About three hours after the whole post-Esmeeting kerfuffle, every phone included in the Executor group chat suddenly blares loudly with an incoming post that appears to have every possible alert and priority notice the person writing it could find attached to it.]

ANYONE WHO ATE ANYTHING AT ESME'S HOUSE REPORT TO MEDIC IMMEDIATELY YOU ARE POISONED


[Well, you can't accuse her of burying the lede.]

i'm in my lab in invidia [The exact address and coordinates of the lab are attached along with the message, including a helpful photo of a scribbled map just in case anyone is really bad with directions.] if you ate ANY of the food esme served or if you're feeling sick, come here so i can treat you
if you find someone unconscious or unable to move on their own, BRING THEM HERE
if you don't have anyone around and think you need help getting here, reply to this message immediately

i threw up, so i tested some of the leftovers i took home
and that food is very, very poisoned
(also, if you brought leftovers home, don't eat them)


II. pick me up whenever i'm feeling down [in-person log]

[True to her word, Medic is ready and waiting in her lab the second anyone arrives.]

[The living room of the apartment she commandeered has been turned into a makeshift hospital. She's dragged cushions and mattresses in, laying them out on the floor and covering them with clean sheets and blankets to make sickbeds. Next to every bed is a glass of water and a bowl for, uh. Any stomach issues you might have to deal with.]

[Anyone healthy who walks in the door will be cheerfully pressganged into nursing duty.]

[The beds are set up facing the living room's lone TV, but well... this is Invidia. Guess who's probably on every channel.]

[You might have better luck with putting on a movie, but no one actually saw this coming, which means your available selection consists exclusively of stuff Medic brought with her from the Limbo library when she came down to Invidia. By which we mean exactly one film.]

[Whether having to see Esme's face is better or worse than watching Brutal Instinct again is a choice you're going to have to make amongst yourselves.]

[Wolfsbane has apparently worn herself out from her Must Kill Esme fit earlier, or maybe it's just the poison making her tired. She does manage to glare when Lion shows up, though.]

The second she finds out we're still around, she's bound to move. We don't have much time, do we?

[crypddyd]

Maybe, maybe not. Depends if the poison was intending to kill us... she had to have known not all of us would show up, but even if only half it would give her an advantage...

is there anything I can fetch for you?

[emberserker]

Ice.

[She pauses -- wait, why ice?]

Never mind, I don't need anything. I'm sure she intended to kill us, or at least revert us to basic Spectres. And if we're going with the idol plan, that means she'll have to find out she failed. We need a plan to strike at her while stealing her fame.

[crypddyd]

Ice... yes, I can get ice.

[He keeps talking as he walks away though, ignoring her claim she didn't actually want it]

We should practice and prepare as long as we can without being spotted then.

[emberserker]

What, do you plan to just storm her estate? Or draw her out with the idol plan somehow?

[crypddyd]

I will go with whatever plan the group decides on. Grand plots are clearly not my forte.

[Here, have a bunch of ice wrapped in a towel]

[emberserker]

[She stares at the ice cubes and sighs.]

So you're the type who follows along, then? I suppose it's good to have those in a team.

[crypddyd]

[he frowns, pondering]

My memories suggest I was a leader of some sort, at least by blood. But... I doubt I was any good at it. Here I have a choice to lean more into my strengths instead.

[emberserker]

I see. How do you know you weren't good at it? It would seem a good number of us were from important families, or royal, or something of the like.

[crypddyd]

Well, unless the man I was then was drastically different than I am now... I am not a rational man. Not someone anyone would logically follow if they had a choice in the matter.

[emberserker]

I have to say that's not something I hear people admit often.
