Amalthea + Takshaka

[soulping]

You have been instructed to leave the front foyer and enter one of the rooms down the center hallway. Room 136's door has an anatomical illustration of a goat crushing a snake under its hoof. A cat looks on, curious.

PART 1

[soulping]

There are a few old, dusty desks with equally old, dusty chairs places around them. Two desks have been picked out, and a divider curtain placed between them; the two teams are divided for this one, as they have different roles to play. The chairs around each desk are painted with faded colours matching the team uniform meant to sit there.

Sepsis has left a note on the desks: "This is serious!"

AMALTHEA: The Patients

[soulping]

Sepsis' note continues: "Please have everybody fill these out. I will come collect them before we move on."

List four items you would use to help someone physically ill:
List two items you would use to help someone mentally ill:
You may select a team to suffer more so your suffering is less. Which team do you choose, if any? Select one: RATATOTSKR / GULGALLANA / OMETOTCHTLI / TIAMAT / NONE

((Items selected will be given to characters to use in Part 2.))

...ah.

I guess I can't get the rest of you guys to leave, huh?

[He sounds pretty resigned to the fact that they're not going to.]

SWAN'S ANSWERS

[swordedpast]

How would you deal with someone who is dangerously sick?: Get them a proper doctor and do whatever I could to help the doctor safely quarantine and treat them.
How would you deal with someone who is dangerously mentally ill?: It's the same, they need a proper psychiatrist and somewhere to safely recover from their troubles.
If the patient was suffering, would you kill them?: No.
Would you kill them if they begged you?: [There's an inkstain where the pen rested for an awfully long time on the paper.] No.
If they were terminally ill?: Maybe. It depends on whether they were in pain, how soon they would die, and what they wanted me to do.

PART 2

[leadstodeath]

Sepsis enters the room, and her lab coat is open in the front, the massive stitched gash that bisects her torso has been cut open and is bleeding everywhere. she holds a pair of bloody scissors in her hand.

"Just because someone is a doctor doesn't mean they can help you. Not without the money. Isn't that right?"

She grins and changes herself into a mist. The door she came through is unlocked, leading into a room full of cheap hospital beds and rusted metal rolling trays. There is an adjacent room containing a bathroom with several toilet stalls (all filthy, of course).

Teams are now working together. Members of Amalthea suddenly hear a playful giggle in their ear, and are overcome with pain.

AMALTHEA + CAT: Illness

[leadstodeath]

Each member now has a sickness.

Technic: Epiglottitis
Rook: Cholera
Swoop: Dengue fever
Belt: Flesh-eating disease
Aoko: Malaria + SEPSIS SPECIAL! Alien Hand Syndrome

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[menially]

[And suddenly it feels like someone jammed a hot pipe into my throat.

Guess who's stumbling a little and wheezing horribly.]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

[Looking down at her leg where things feel... bad all of a sudden. And I guess it's time to rip open a stocking because WHELP THAT IS SOME FLESHROT ON HER LEFT LEG.]

[Deep breath in. And out. And GLARE.]

Someone. Antibacterials and water. [THIS FAN ON MY HIP IS GETTING FANNED OUT.]

Also I will need bandages.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[barrette]

[ taking inventory of what they have to use, and then hurrying to try and help people out. ]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[clocksandroses]

[ssssinking to the floor, face flushed, and clutching her left hand close to her.]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

Sepsis! Wait--

I suppose she's got no reason to want to be around us now.
