3rd Checkpoint [Video]

[tattooedredheads]

[After his arrival, Kay's taken the time to change his clothes - the familiar long-sleeved shirt and vest - so that no one sees the blood in this video. His face is still pale from the earlier injury. He drums his fingers against his desk as he talks.]

Hey. I'm Kay, for anyone who hasn't met me. Anyone here got experience with brain imaging? Reading brain activity, any effects it might have, that kinda stuff. Ideally, I'd like someone who could do a basic check up as well.

(OOC note: I won't be able to reply to responses until Monday.)

Something wrong with your brain?

[tattooedredheads]

It might be working too well with some negative long term effects. I need a second opinion since the guy who gave me the diagnosis wasn't working under ideal conditions.

[watchmaker]

No guarantees it'll work, but I can sense when things are off about brains sometimes. It's part of an ability I have. I could check it out if you wanted.

[tattooedredheads]

Sure, I'll give it a shot. Where do you want to meet up?

video;

[watchmaker]

Wherever. There are some tea rooms to the side of the kitchen, does that work?

video;

[tattooedredheads]

Yep. Just give some time to get down there.

[Kay's on the ninth floor at the moment.]

video; -> action

[watchmaker]

No worries, I'll be waiting.

[true to his word, he'll be waiting in one of the tea rooms when kay makes his way down. you can tell which one because he left the door wide open and even actually made tea??? like a super legit medical professional. everything's gonna be fine.]

[tattooedredheads]

[Fun fact: Kay's last doctor was a "junkyard salesman turned genius".]

[Kay prefers coffee to tea but a source of caffeine is still more than welcome. He snatches it up with a quickly muttered thanks.]

I didn't get your name earlier.

Video

[naughty_nurse]

Um... I-I could give you a check-up, if you wanted.

Video

[tattooedredheads]

[Kay beams at Mikan.]

Great. When would be a good time to come over?

Video

[naughty_nurse]

A-Anytime you want!

Video

[tattooedredheads]

Then I'll come over now. Are you at the clinic?

Video

[naughty_nurse]

I'll head over there right this second!

[Literally, she's started running.]

Re: Video

[tattooedredheads]

[She could stroll there and take only half the time that it will take Kay. He has nine flights of stairs to walk down.]

[He waves as soon as he (eventually) enters the clinic.]

Hey. Nice to meet ya in person.

Re: Video

[naughty_nurse]

[She bows as he enters.]

I-It is nice to meet you as well. Please have a seat, and I'll begin the examination.

Action

[tattooedredheads]

[He plops down in the nearest seat.]

Before we start, I did lose a lot of blood earlier today. It's fixed now, but the blood is still lost as far as I can tell.

Action

[naughty_nurse]

[...buh??? She stares, then shakes her head, moving to get her supplies.]

Unless you show symptoms of severe blood loss, there shouldn't be a reason to worry. Like dizziness, weakness, paleness.

[tattooedredheads]

[Magical healing is a wonderful thing. He hasn't felt dizzy or weak yet, though. Souji's healing must have been more effective than Kay had thought. That's good to know.]

Haven't felt any of that yet, but I'll let you know if that changes.

[naughty_nurse]

[She brings over a tray of standard doctor supplies. First, let's check the pulse - she wraps the velcro around his arm.]

P-Please let me know if you do...

[tattooedredheads]

[His blood pressure is a lot higher than it normally is. The benefits of living in Wonderland have been erased by his return home. Now the the effects of lacking the proper amount of food for two weeks (his first proper meal since then was only a couple days ago), and the stress of staying constantly alert to threats to his life for a month are still present. It hasn't even been twenty-four hours since Wonderland pulled him back again.]

[naughty_nurse]

... Your blood pressure is high. You need to be careful about that.

[Next up, heart beat, followed by reflexes and checking the eyes. But as she goes through the motions...]

Have you been eating and sleeping properly?

[because being SHSL Nurse, naturally she's going to notice the signs of starvation and lack of rest.]

[tattooedredheads]

[He shakes his head.]

Haven't gotten much of a chance lately.

[Aside from that Kay's heart beat, response time, and eyes are normal.]

[naughty_nurse]

[She pulls back.]

I... I can get you some food and drink right now, if you want. And you're free to sleep here! You need to get your energy up.

[tattooedredheads]

I'd like an omelet. Any kind you think would be good. And just water for the drink.

[There was no way Kay would turn an offer of food down. It saves him a trip to the dining room. He'll also take up her offer to sleep in the clinic after that.]

[naughty_nurse]

I-I'll go make you one right now!

[She's already running for the door-]

[tattooedredheads]

[She's pretty energetic.]

[Kay claims a bed for himself and places his shoes on the floor next to it. He lays down with his arms tucked under his head. He'll still be staring at the ceiling when Mikan returns.]

[naughty_nurse]

[Moments later, she returns, walking very slowly so she won't trip. She's carrying a tray with a big, plain omelette, a glass of water, and a pitcher also full of water in case he'd like a refill.]

Steady... Steady...

[tattooedredheads]

[Kay swings off the bed when she spots her and reaches for whichever item she can most easily relinquish. He's surprised she hasn't dropped something while carrying all that.]

I'll take that.

[naughty_nurse]

Th-thank you... I'm sorry if I kept you waiting.

[tattooedredheads]

No problem. You did get it for me.

[It smells delicious, too. Normally he has to work to get people to do stuff for him. Now where is the fork?]

It smells good.

[naughty_nurse]

[She fishes out a fork, knife, spoon, even chopsticks in case he's choosy, all out of her apron and neatly puts them on the tray.]

C-Can I get you anything else?

[waverides]

If there were available facilities I would be able to assist you.

[tattooedredheads]

What do you need? I can make whatever Wonderland doesn't provide.

[waverides]

An electroencephalograph would graph your brain activity.

[tattooedredheads]

Right. I'll go grab one from the closet then.

[Kay set the phone done long enough to do just that. He returns moment later with the device and the wires that go with it. He holds it in front of the screen.] Got it. What do you think?

[waverides]

We'll need a quiet location in order to conduct this.

( Although, whilst Gideon knows how to read the graph it'd give, she's never actually set one up before )

[tattooedredheads]

[Kay can help out on that end. From his perspective, it was only a day ago that he'd had one stuck on his head. He remembers how it was done.]

The ninth floor has a lot of empty rooms. [Which he knows from living there.] We can use one of those.

[waverides]

Then I will meet you there. Is there anything that concerns you? Or causes you to ask for such a procedure?

[tattooedredheads]

Yeah. A man back home told me that some changes to my brain might have a negative long term side effect. I want to see if he was right. We weren't under the best of circumstances at the time.

[waverides]

Did he happen to specify what those changes might be, or the effects that they might have upon you?

[tattooedredheads]

Yeah. My observational, analytical, and sensory abilities have greatly increased. The effects would be paranoia, delusion, and emotional instability. The conditions weren't ideal at the time so I want to double check.

[Well that and Kay really wants the old man to have been wrong.]

[waverides]

Then it's vital that we discover if these changes are occurring. I will be there shortly.

[tattooedredheads]

[Kay's already set up the equipment by the time Gideon arrives and is sitting the hallway next to the door when she arrives. He waves when he spots her.] Yo!

[waverides]

You're Kay? ( She's checking, though the face in front of her matches the video that she'd seen ) My name is Gideon.
