[medick]

Well then, you plan to bring me to a place that is "filled" with creatures and people from fairy tales, legends, and mythology — like witches and gods, isn't that right?

Unless I am able to have a closer inspection, I will give you my professional opinion on it:

Nein! You will have to give me a better reason than that, dummkopf. Until you think of a better reason, I will be off.

[ungodliest]

Ah..? Even such a thing isn't enough of a reason for you? They are quite fascinating to see, after all..

[medick]

You were able to examine them yourself?

[ungodliest]

Hmm, not exactly. I've seen a few of them around, but.. I guess I can't say I've had an up and close examination of them, if you know what I mean.

[ crazy doctors gonna crazy doctors, right. ]

[medick]

[ absolutely. ]

That... is disappointing. Mere observation without close inspection... are you not curious what makes their heart beat, what makes them — dare I say it — fly, create "glitter sparkling magic"?

Surely a "land of rainbows and sugar hills" isn't the answer. [ slowly shakes his head... ] Such lack of raw data must be remedied.

[ungodliest]

Ah? [ she feigns innocent curiosity. ] And are you planning to make that change, get the data yourself..?

[ of course she's thought about it before, but a lack of a lot of things - like proper equipment - made it more difficult. ]

I can't say I mind a man who doesn't mind getting his hands a little dirty.

[medick]

Ja, of course. If they exist, I wish to find out how, why, and what makes them so when they do not back home.

What makes them "magical", for example.

[ he chuckles at that. haha "magic." ]

Ah, you sound like a medical woman. What are you, exactly — a nurse, perhaps?

[ungodliest]

I'm a nurse at the local clinic back home, yes, although I've studied for more. [ else she wouldn't be able to do.. well, you know, brain surgery and all.. ]

And I've more or less taken the task upon me of running the infirmary in that place as well. Even if it's more often used as an excuse by the local teenage boys to be able to spend some time around the nurse..

[ she giggles. ]

[stabstabstab]

Struggling is pointless, Docteur. Your lady has obviously set her mind on sending you this place. I would advise that you spend more time learning about where you are going, rather than complain about it.

[medick]

Unlike you, Spy, I have projects in my workplace I'd like to focus on instead.

[ translation: wowno. ]

Ugh, to think she was supposed to send you instead of me.

[stabstabstab]

[Le shrug.]

Better to adapt than to whine about it. That serves no purpose, and may even further her attempts to drag you there. Besides, she will eventually lose interest in you, and then she will send you home. I do not see any reason to be so upset.

[medick]

Because she is disturbing me in the first place with such a fantasy, it's like fire to your little suit.

[ rubbing his temples. ]

Bah, her boredom best hurry up.

[stabstabstab]

Your analogy is lacking, Docteur. I can avoid being set on fire; I merely have to outwit the Pyros, and that is no difficult feat. You, however, cannot avoid your mundane.

Tell me, what sort of place are you going to?

[medick]

[ in his head: SILENCE SCHWEINHUND!! ]

[medick]

[ there's a sour look for a moment before he clears his throat. ]

A place where "magic exists" — [ hah magic... ] Demeleier, ja. Needless to say, I'm holding back my excitement until I see things, and open them up myself.

[stabstabstab]

Considering that the Soldier's room mate was a wizard, and that we have fought the Horseless Headless Horseman and the Demoman's giant eyeball, you should not be so sceptical of the supernatural.

[medick]

What.

[ he wasn't there when those happened at least initially, but then he's always been rather Dubious when he recalls the horseman and the eyeball. what ugly little things he'd have loved to open up.

.... of course, right now, he's looking at spy and judging him. ]

[sentryslinger]

Even without bein' able to examine 'em too closely, there's a lot you can learn through observation.

[medick]

True, true, but I do not think I will be satisfied with just mere observation.

[sentryslinger]

Ya might just have to be. Those mundanes aren't know for givin' up their plans so easily.

[medick]

Then it seems I will just have to take matters into my own hands, again!

If it comes to it. [ *when tbh ]

[sentryslinger]

And how will ya go about doin' that?

[medick]

That will entirely depend on the lady's response. I am willing to give her a chance, but that's it.

We are busy men, aren't we?

[sentryslinger]

That we are. Too busy to be thrown into these games, but there ain't much sense in arguin' sometimes. Just remember to mind your manners, Medic.

[medick]

[ dismissive handwave. ] That is something you should be tell your own doctor, as I am perfectly capable of being hospitable when there are those that deserve my respect!

[sentryslinger]

And I'm gettin' the feeling you don't think most people do.

[cruelest]

It doesn't look like you have a choice.

[medick]

That is something to be remedied immediately. She has the others, she can bother them to death!

[cruelest]

She probably thought you would be the most entertaining one, once placed on that particular gameboard.

[medick]

Ach, nein, nein, nein! I am the busiest man in the world these days. After all, I would hate to be in your situation.

[ just saying ]

I'd enjoy it, perhaps, if she brings all my basic necessities.

[cruelest]

[ what about her situation huh X( ]

... I heard you're planning on collecting specimens. That won't be easy, though it could be an interesting way of passing the time.

[medick]

[ three gameboards huh ]

Even without being in such a place yet, I can tell I've handled worse already. [ eight different animals... ] A rewarding experience if I do arrive, Fräulein.

[cruelest]

[ she's turned into my forever girl help me ]

You could start a collection and display it in the temple.

[ which would be a very bad idea, of course. ]

[medick]

[ no you're perfect ]

That... is a ridiculous idea. They would be of no value to scientific study if I leave them there to rot. Would you leave something of value to soiled hands? I would think not.

[cruelest]

[ cries ]

If it's really for scientific study, there's no point in keeping it to yourself, right...? There might be other people who would be interested in seeing what the inside of a bull beggar looks like.

[medick]

..... Ha...! Hahahahahaha!!

[ this lasts for a few seconds because it is funny. ]

[medick]

You are far from the funny look, Fräulein Bernkastel, but that was rather funny. [ muttering: ] Ahaha, "sharing"...

[cruelest]

[ Bernkastel doesn't flinch at the sudden burst of laughter. ( She's a witch, she's used to it ) Oh, so he's that kind of person, huh... ]

How greedy. I wonder, will it only be the fae who will make your stay in Demeleier unpleasant...?
