[Eiko doesn't look all that great as she frowns into the vine.  She went a little overboard after discovering sugar skulls with Shiiko's name on them and finding out she could relive some of their childhood memories through them.  Almost a dozen skulls later and...]

Is there a doctor of some kind in the Garden?

Comments

[notvitiligo]

At least one. Do you need to get to the clinic?

[unbrkableteen]

Yes, I do. Could you tell me where the clinic is?

[notvitiligo]

It'd be easier to ask a bird or cat to take you there, since stuff kind of... switches around sometimes. It's not too far from the housing stuff.

What do you have?

[unbrkableteen]

Oh, okay. Thank you for your help.

Stomach ache.

[notvitiligo]

...the "fruit"?

[unbrkableteen]

.....yes.

[notvitiligo]

This is seriously insane. Worse than usual.

Once you're done with the doctor, you can stop by my place. I'm going to try to make some kind of stew.

[unbrkableteen]

Oh, thank you very much.

What's your name?

[notvitiligo]

Oh, crap, sorry. Jessica Boyette. I'm at Beaumont.

What about you?

[unbrkableteen]

My name's Eiko Magami. I'm still a bit new so I haven't memorized where everything is yet.

[notvitiligo]

Remind me later and I'll give you the brochure, if you haven't seen it yet.

It's more about vague areas, half the time. Stuff doesn't flip around too much-- usually-- but this place gets kind of crazy sometimes.

[unbrkableteen]

No, I hadn't gotten a brochure yet...

How long have you been here?

[notvitiligo]

Ugh... getting near two years. I don't think there's a lot of people who've been here longer, anymore.

(That's kind of depressing...)

[unbrkableteen]

Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that.

[notvitiligo]

[She shrugs, expression still neutral.]

Could be worse, I guess. We're not actively being tortured or anything. (Mostly.)

[unbrkableteen]

I guess that's true.

I wonder if I'll be here for that long...

[notvitiligo]

There's a few people around who haven't left, but most people seem to pop in and out pretty quick. It probably won't be too long for you.

[unbrkableteen]

If so, I hope you get to go home soon as well. I've heard that things back home stop while we're here so at least your life is waiting for you.

[notvitiligo]

Yeah...

Really, the hardest part... is all the people you can't see.

[unbrkableteen]

[Eiko gives a silent nod in agreement.]

Yeah...that's why I got so carried away.

[notvitiligo]

Hm?

[unbrkableteen]

Oh, nothing. Nothing...

[It was embarrassing enough that she'd gotten herself sick, she didn't want to say it was because she wanted to keep seeing Shiiko.]

[notvitiligo]

Hm. All right...

[She definitely doesn't believe Eiko, but isn't going to pry.]

If you see any snakes, they can help you. That's kind of their job.

[So says a dark-haired, red-eyed young woman with bizarre wings sprouting from her back. They wiggle and wave as though each one is completely independent of the next.]

[unbrkableteen]

Oh right, I'd forgotten about them. Do you think they'll have anything for a stomach ache?

[undefines]

I wouldn't know. That's not the kind of thing I usually have to worry about.

[unbrkableteen]

Yeah, I usually don't get stomach aches either. I just got a little carried away with the candy.

[undefines]

Is it really that good? It didn't look that appetizing to me.

[Skulls: Okay. Skulls with names on them: NOT OKAY.]

[unbrkableteen]

They were...okay...

[It wasn't really the taste that caused her to eat so many, but the memories.]

[undefines]

So okay you ate yourself sick, I guess.

[unbrkableteen]

I knooow...

[Groan of shame.]

[undefines]

[Nue shrugs a shoulder.]

Well, good luck with that, I guess.
