[Jessica sits in the orchard, a sugar skull in hand. She glares at the mirror.]

OK, this? Isn't funny. For a lot of reasons.

This is a new low for whoever is in charge. Consider this an official complaint.

Because this place likes to mess with our heads.

[doc_holi]

[That's just-]

... You know, the clinic is always open to visitors...

[notvitiligo]

[A quirk of one lip corner.]

...thanks.

I'm... not really sure what to do now.

[doc_holi]

... We have spare room, too...

[Because she doesn't know what else to do either. Is that too much?]

[notvitiligo]

[She lets the skull sink down to her lap.] ...nah. I don't... want to leave the house. On its own, I mean. I think Grell wouldn't like that.

[doc_holi]

[She's not sure who Grell is, but she nods.]

I'm still here if you ever need me or even just to hang out.

[notvitiligo]

You'll probably get more volunteer time from me, that's for sure.

[Jessica does not like leisure time. Especially when she's upset.]

[doc_holi]

Good. I could use more helping hands.

[notvitiligo]

Been getting lots of business?

[doc_holi]

Not really, but a clinic has to always be sanitary and well stocked, just in case.

[notvitiligo]

Yeah...

[She turns the skull over and over, staring through it.]

uh... how's the, um, chronic patients?

[doc_holi]

They're doing just fine. In fact, they seem to be doing a bit better.

[notvitiligo]

Glad to hear it. I'm pretty relieved we have an actual doctor around again. I don't like having to rely on the snakes and all.

[doc_holi]

[She laughs.] I wouldn't either, but I guess they're better than nothing.

[notvitiligo]

It just feels wrong.

But that's par for the course, here.
