EPONA + GULGALLANA

You have been instructed to leave the front foyer and enter one of the rooms down the right hallway. Room 115's door has an anatomical illustration of a bull piercing a horse's torso with its horns.

[ Picking up the note. ]

What the hell kind of questions are these?

[ He'll... start filling in them later. ]

[debate_avenger]

I don't suppose we can ask for a diagnostic machine, so that we can pick out symptoms and it will give us possible illnesses and their proper treatments?

[sakazuki]

... That's probably damn near impossible to ask for. They wouldn't make it that easy for us.

But I guess we could put it down on the list.

[debate_avenger]

Well, just in case, I'll ask for a stethoscope and a thermometer. Since they have to be done manually, they might be easier to get... I'll probably ask for some anaesthetics, too.

[sakazuki]

You seem well prepared.

I'm not too sure what to put on mine, besides just medicine.

[debate_avenger]

I wouldn't say it's well-prepared as much as... Preparing for the worst. I don't know how much this will help us even then, though. Aside from medicine, let's see... We'll need a way to keep people warm and water, at least. Dehydration's a big deal, after all.

[sakazuki]

I'll put tea down for mine. We can knock off two things at once with it, with something to drink and warm us up.

If they'll even give it to us, and this isn't just a list for their enjoyment.

[debate_avenger]

Well, I can't deny that possibility, but this is presumably a test to see if we know what to do in the case of a severe illness.

[sakazuki]

Which isn't a good sign, when you consider that we're in a game.

[Staring at that last question...]

...we shouldn't have come to this game.

Re: GULGALLANA: The Patients

[debate_avenger]

Well, since we're already here, it can't be helped. Do you want to protect any of the teams listed on there?

Re: GULGALLANA: The Patients

[dirtydoll]

Ratatoskr. [answering immediately] I will not target them. Or Tiamat.

Re: GULGALLANA: The Patients

[debate_avenger]

Ratatoskr, huh...? Okay, got it. I'm probably not going to target anyone myself, but it's good to know who we should avoid.

[sakazuki]

We can't do anything about it now, but I don't have a good feeling about it...

[dirtydoll]

[If we were a less emotionally stunted team this might be the point where she would try to hold your hand comfortingly or something. As it is she just exhales sharply and grabs one of the surveys.]

You're right. There's nothing we can do but play her game.

Which team are you going to choose?

[sakazuki]

[ It's okay, with this kind of game, no one will probably disagree to hand holding... ]

None. Like I've said to Rotten, I'm not going to bus anyone to win at a game. It's low as hell.

[debate_avenger]

Practically speaking, it doesn't even guarantee that we'll win: All it guarantees is that the person picking it will "suffer less". We don't even have evidence to indicate that it'll affect anyone else on our own team other than ourselves.

[dirtydoll]

But there's a chance it would protect all of us. If someone chooses to target our team, choosing another could minimize the damage.

[sakazuki]

Exactly.

It doesn't guarantee that we'll win or that they'll even lessen our suffering. They could be fucking with us, for all we know.

Cut

List four items you would use to help someone physically ill: Antibiotics, bandages, heat pad, tea
List two items you would use to help someone mentally ill: Anti-depressants, stress ball
You may select a team to suffer more so your suffering is less. Which team do you choose, if any? Select one: None.
