Who: Everyone
When: Day 5, bright and early in the morning
Where: Labyrinth!
What: A daring labyrinth

[you somehow land into this labyrinth with a hard thud, sending clouds of dust flying everywhere. what you're in now is a stone room that has a flickering torch placed on each wall. it smells a bit dingy in here, like what one might picture an actual labyrinth or dungeon to smell like.

there doesn't actually seem to be much worth investigating in this room, aside from a sign and three old, wooden doors before you. the sign reads:

"If you risk it all, you gain it all. If you risk nothing, you gain nothing."

somehow, very inexplicably so, you get the strange sense that the riskier you play, the better the prize.]

[ Nodding along with it. But will also scold Mika later for trying to sacrifice himself here. ]

["Well then! You have a good friend there. Go ahead, take a seat."

the cloaked doctor uses their head to gesture towards the bench and marks something off on their clipboard.

"So when did you get the application done? It looks nicely done."]

Re: WATER ROOM

[loveinvein]

[ Mika has a sneaking suspicion he knows what this is about. He takes a seat on the bench! ]

A month ago.

Re: WATER ROOM

[sintimental]

[ Yuu is a VERY GOOD FRIEND, and is still adamantly holding Mika's hand. Because. He can. No sign of letting go. ]

Re: WATER ROOM

[royalsubject]

[the cloaked doctor checks off another thing on their clipboard.

"I see. Can you recall the location of the seam?"]

Re: WATER ROOM

[loveinvein]

[ YYYEAH THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MIKA THOUGHT... but he'll roll with this. He's encountered more terrible. ]

I'm afraid not. Is that a problem?

Re: WATER ROOM

[sintimental]

[ There is a moment where Yuu wonders if they should just Go. Observing this still though. ]

Re: WATER ROOM

["I'd just like to make sure it hasn't come undone. Some practitioners don't adhere the skin properly."

the cloaked doctor sets their clipboard down and hovers their hand over the table full of medical supplies.

"Stitches can be too harsh on the skin, sometimes tugging it more than it should. A skin-safe gel can 'unstick' all too easily. Things like that is all."]

Re: WATER ROOM

[loveinvein]

I haven't noticed any problems.

[ Then, after a beat, ]

Have you, Yuu-chan?

Re: WATER ROOM

[sintimental]

[ Shaking his head. ]

I haven't noticed any problems either.

Re: WATER ROOM

[royalsubject]

["Is that so." the cloaked doctor idly picks up a scalpel, not moving from their spot by the table.

"May I ask why you scheduled an appointment with me? Just so we can clarify what I can help you with today."]

Re: WATER ROOM

[loveinvein]

It was more for my ease of mind.

Re: WATER ROOM

[sintimental]

[ I have a bigger pointy object, weird doctor man. Don't try anything... '^' ]

Re: WATER ROOM

[royalsubject]

[wow what a menacing letter opener.

the cloak doctor's voice remains calm and steady.

"To address this, I'd like to check the seam."]

Re: WATER ROOM

[loveinvein]

[ Mika takes a deep breath... then nods. ]

If you can find it?

Re: WATER ROOM

[sintimental]

[ ?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! MIKA???? Tugging on his hand, UM? ]

Re: WATER ROOM

[loveinvein]

[ Squeezes Yuu's hand, shh shh. ]

Re: WATER ROOM

[royalsubject]

["In that case, we'll start with your back. It's the most common locations of seams, believe it or not. Please take off your shirt."

the cloaked figure... puts down the scalpel.]

Re: WATER ROOM

[loveinvein]

[ Welp! Mika is going to get up and strip off his cloak and shirt. ]

Re: WATER ROOM

[sintimental]

[ .....well, okay. i am existing in the room with weird doctor and stripping mika. carry on. ]

Re: WATER ROOM

[royalsubject]

[when the shirt and cloak are off, the cloaked doctor begins inspecting Mika's back.

"Hm. Your skin has been nicely applied. You might have nothing to worry about."]

Re: WATER ROOM

[loveinvein]

Might?

Re: WATER ROOM

[sintimental]

[ Inclines his head at that. ]

Re: WATER ROOM

[royalsubject]

[the cloaked doctor strides back over the the table of medical tools.

"You see, issues with application arise... if you've had an application. And you, sir, look more like a potential donor."

you might be able to notice a hand grabbing for that scalpel again.]

Re: WATER ROOM

[sintimental]

He's not.

[ That menacing letter opener is suddenly pointing at this doctor, HM. ]
