DAY 177, sometime after strange's announcement

[dontpokethat]

[Really, Ginko probably should have started looking into examining those poisoned by the Prince (which is to say practically everyone) sooner. With things as hectic as they've been, the threat of new injuries had pushed that thought aside. Now, though...

Ginko's voice crackles through the radio, clearly tired but brisk and professional (or as close as Ginko gets to sounding professional) nonetheless.]

I want everyone who was kidnapped by the Prince to come by the medical tent to be examined. If you can't for one reason or another, let me know and I can come to you.

For that matter, I would appreciate the chance to run some tests on everyone who ate the food, in case we've still got poison in our systems.

Comments

[prazerbutterfly]

[Thankfully he does hear the announcement as he's drifting off to sleep and it'll be a few hours later when he finally responds. He's late and he's sort of hoping that whoever is making the announcement has gotten their fill of tests.

He sounds groggy at best.]

Examined? Tests?

[dontpokethat]

[Yyyyep that sounds like someone who needs to be checked on.]

That's right. Nothing too invasive; for the time being, I just want to look you over for general health and take a couple tissue samples.

[prazerbutterfly]

[There's a creak like he literally just got up and some cracking.]

I'm fine. I just need to get a bit more rest. There's no need for me to come or you to come here.

[dontpokethat]

Maybe so, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Besides which, the people who are still in the fortress will probably be worse off when they get back; we should start looking for treatments now, and checking on those of you who were the most affected is our best bet for getting started.

[prazerbutterfly]

Have you seen Miss Reira? She is afflicted with it much more than I am. [He is literally offering a kid to try to get out of this.] I don't much care for doctors, good sir.

[dontpokethat]

I have. I'm going to check on her, too. [Ideally, he wants to check on everyone.] Well, that won't be an issue. I'm not a doctor.

[Surprise, he's some hobo.]

[prazerbutterfly]

Sounds kind of shady if you ask me. A 'not a doctor' asking for something that sounds awfully what a doctor would say.

[dontpokethat]

...What doctor would claim not to be a doctor to get someone to come to them for medical procedures?

[prazerbutterfly]

[He snorts loud and clear for Ginko to hear as he doesn't exactly have an answer for that. Well, he has one last excuse.]

I don't really remember where the medical tent is and I'm don't feel like searching for it right now.

[dontpokethat]

I can go find you, then. I just need to know where you are.

[prazerbutterfly]

Just outside the carnival grounds through the portal on the other side where our Lady, The Ringmaster, is...

[Hopefully that dissuades him but it probably won't.] I can head back to the trailer or if you give me clear instructions on how to get to the medical tent.

[dontpokethat]

[It absolutely does not.]

Well, I could certainly go meet you there, but it might be safer to do this in a trailer if that works for you.

[prazerbutterfly]

[He would honestly feel more at ease in his own trailer and he'll clearly hear how the communication becomes much clearer once he's passed the portal. Any further and he likely wouldn't have heard this call out at all.]

I live at Trailer 11. I'll be there in a few minutes.

[dressedtothe]

Can you run tests on mechanical beings?

[spaghettimonster]

I did eat food... Let's do some tests! What kinds of grades can we get?

[dontpokethat]

Uh... well, mostly 'healthy' or 'not healthy'.

[kingsroads]

I've no idea how running these tests or giving examinations works in the first place, but if you spot some similar symptoms among Miss Akaba and the warden but not Mister Mykk, it most likely isn't due to the Prince's actions. They both were subdued in, erm, a unique way which could explain the symptoms.

[ might want to tell the medical team "who has two thumbs and knocked out people via creepy drug smoke, this guy." ]

[dontpokethat]

...Would you mind defining 'unique'?

[Joke's on you Strange he's not even in medical]

[dontpokethat]

I could certainly try - though I'll need more input on what's normal than I would otherwise.

[kingsroads]

I can turn into smoke. I knocked out both Miss Akaba and the warden with my smoke. I've studied the effects, of course, so I knew it could be debilitating, I simply don't know of any long term-effects.

[ there is no way to explain this without the convo sounding slightly dumb. ]

[eclipsingblade]

[Nobody can see it right now but Ichigo is giving his new radio such a skeptical look.]

Where's the medical tent? And what kind of examination?

just bs's where medical is

[dontpokethat]

The white tent, between the cookhouse and the Ferris wheel. And it'll just be a quick check-up; I want to take some tissue samples, too. Nothing too invasive.

[eclipsingblade]

...Didn't think this place had the tech for proper lab work. I'll be by in a bit.

radio -> action

[dontpokethat]

See you then. [He's not totally sure if this guy will think their actual facilities are, in fact, suited to 'proper lab work', but... y'know what, no reason to make assumptions. He'll find out one way or another.

Ginko keeps shifting things in the tent around as he waits, going over supplies, making sure he knows for sure what's where. He glances over his shoulder when he hears someone come in, his tail flicking.]

--Ah, hey. You ready?

[eclipsingblade]

[It does indeed take 'a bit'. A solid twenty minutes at least, partly because he still doesn't know where he's going partly because he is very easily distracted by weird things and guess what's everywhere in this place.

Including inside the tent. His doctor is a green antelope guy. Ichigo on the other hand is depressingly ordinary looking. There's a lengthy pause as Ginko speaks up, voice matching what was on the radio. Okay. He's dealt with weird before.]

.... Yeah. ... Look there's no way to ask this without being rude so I'm just going to go for it. Did you always look like that?

[Because his sword occasionally looked a bit like a bunny and Ichigo's got the vague idea this might be contagious.]
