[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.]

I'll give it a try. Medic's been doing a good job taking care of us all, so the least I can do is do my part and keep my strength up. Thanks.

[ Bowl of ramen, get! For the time being though, she's just holding it in her lap. She's got to work up her appetite before she can give it a try. ]

How are you doing? I could've sworn we both had something to eat back at the house...

[seasharp]

Yeah, I ate some of it too. I'm all good, though! I mean, I passed out for a bit, but now I'm right as rain again!

[she says that... like it's nothing...]

[phantasmagorial]

[ RECORD SCRATCH ]

Hold on a second, you passed out?!

[ ARIEL???? ]

[seasharp]

...Yes?

[is this

distressing information]

Only for like a minute! It wasn't a big deal at all.

[phantasmagorial]

Ariel! That's a huge deal!

[ She sounds SO DISTRESSED ]

Have you spoken to Medic yet?!

[seasharp]

Oh, yeah, she wanted me to come in right away. But I really am alright! Since then, I've just felt totally normal.

Well, what passes for normal here, you know.

[phantasmagorial]

[ oh my god ]

Will you at least let her check you over, just in case? You ate a lot of those cakes, you know...!

[seasharp]

Only like seven...

[oh god y'all let her fight]

[phantasmagorial]

Seven is a lot of cakes!

[ thank god i made this icon tbh ]

[seasharp]

W-Well, maybe...

Don't worry, though, I got rid of the leftovers I took!

[phantasmagorial]

If you don't go and get checked out soon, I'm going to go for drastic measures. Don't think I won't.

I'll tell Chiron, Phoenix and Beast and then you won't have a choice.

[ TRIPLE DAD THREAT ]

[seasharp]

Gh--! W-Well, I suppose if it's for my health... ahaha...

[A terrifying threat...]

Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure I would've been dead again already if it was bad! Or re-dead. You know what I mean.

[phantasmagorial]

I guess...

[ Sayaka definitely seems a little too up-and-at-'em to be that affected by the poison, but Rei's still keeping an eye on her. ]

That's so strange, though... you definitely ate enough to get sick. Maybe you just got lucky?

[seasharp]

Mmm... Medic said that maybe I have healing powers? But you'd think I would've noticed by now, right?

[yes because that's what Ariel's good at

being perceptive]

[phantasmagorial]

Have you even had any reason to try and use them? Before all this, I mean?

[seasharp]

Hm... I guess I took a few hits fighting that big Revenant with Mona and Kingslayer. But I felt fine just walking it off, after.

So I guess not?

[local dumbass doesn't realize she's been healing herself post-battle]

[phantasmagorial]

Maybe you're... just really sturdy?

[ i guess they're BOTH stupid ]

1/2

[seasharp]

[ . . . ]

2/2

[seasharp]

You're right... You're totally right, that's got to be it! [she preens a little, putting her hands on her hips] Hm, hm, I guess I just can't be stopped, huh~?

Esme has no idea who she was dealing with!

[PURGATORY TEENS MAY BE STUPID

BOTTOM TEXT]

[phantasmagorial]

[ That gets a giggle out of her. ]

Maybe we can go ahead and make that part of our pitch? "Invidia's Strongest Idol" has a good ring to it.

[seasharp]

[Ariel giggles at that as well.]

Well, every idol needs a charm point, right? It'd make for pretty great merch!

[phantasmagorial]

We could even turn it into a gimmick in handshake sessions. If you're sturdy, then I bet you're strong too, right? We could hype people up by saying you'll lift them.
