OOC: Thanks for waiting for me, everyone.



IC: Fast on Kenichi's tail, a woman (or was it a man?) hobbled in, leaning heavily on a walking stick as she made her way slowly into the hall. (S)he wore the dust-encrusted overalls of someone who had been at the dig, but the loose grunge of denim could not conceal a beautiful, almost childlike frame beneath. His/her forehead, beneath the curls, was sunburnt, but the rest of his/her skin was too pale, and (s)he was sweatting more than the day's heat merited. Hardly looking at his/her surroundings, (s)he collapsed onto the first chair (s)he reached and called in a light voice, "Water, please?"

[mippa]

Pinoco put her hands back on her hips and gave Black Jack a sassy pose in return. "It's nothin' that I haven't seen before! Pinoco is always by Sensei's side!"

Pinoco suddenly got gleamy eyed and held up a large, hardback book. "Besides, I still have a book I need to finish reading, so I will take it along with me if I get bored!" By the cover, it was obviously a fresh romance novel--where she found it, however, was up to speculation.

[TruePrince]

Still collapsed at the table in the Hotel lobby, Sapphire (with great effort) lifted his/her head and scanned the room. "Anybody know a doctor in this town?"

[TruePrince]

IC: Sapphire martialed all his/her strength to raise his/her head and gaze over at Lamp. (S)he seemed either to be thinking hard or to be trying to speak, but was too weak to get the words out...

OOC: Ataru Moroboshi, our characters are in the same place. Are you going to respond or are you waiting for something else to happen?

[Canti]

Black Jack raised an eyebrow at the sight of Pinoco's romance novel.
"I don't think you should be...nevermind, at least you're not watching TV. Come on," he said as he took up his kit, "we're going to meet someone first."

[mippa]

Pinoco quickly got excited as she followed the doctor with her oversized suitcase. "Meeting someone?!" Her face suddenly darkened. "It better not be a woman!"

[TruePrince]

Still slumped at the table, Sapphire sneezed. "Is someone talking about me?..."

[Ataru Moroboshi]

[TruePrince]

Sapphire looked . "Thanks. It's nice to have company, even if you can't, ca, khhh..." (S)he degenerated into a bout of coughing, and tried but failed to conceal bloodspatters in her/his handkerchief. "My name is Sapphire. I work with Dr. Ochanomizu up at the dig. Nice to meet *cough* you."

[Ataru Moroboshi]

"Blood?" Lamp thought "What a situation! This poor woman is in danger. I must call a doctor now. Yes, I must call HIM. He can't refuse: after all, he owns me a "little favour"... Hehehehe..." He remembered that scarfaced doctor: Kuro Kazama was his real name. Lamp bribed the police to let him go
because he was arrested for illegal operating just when he successfully finished Lamp's mother, who had a cerebral tumor, operation. The reason why Lamp knew the doctor's real name remains unknown (by now).

"Miss, I see you need a doctor. I'm going to call a very good one", Lamp said as he got up.

[TruePrince]

Sapphire crumpled the tissue in her hand. "I don't know... I don't trust most doctors."

[Canti]

Black Jack led the way to the car and set his kit inside and opened the driver's side door for Pinoco.
"I operate on women all the time," he responded. "Why should one more be any different?"
And that was when his cell phone rang. He removed it from his coat and stared at it a moment. "Odd, who's calling me now?" He flipped it open and his face tensed in surprise and alarm. "Huh? Lampie?" He held the phone to his ear. "Hello?"
