 Hello everyone. I hate to be a bother, but I believe something odd is, once again, happening throughout Wonderland. If you wouldn't mind, could you all come to the clinic so I can examine you? Even if you believe you're not affected, I'd still like to see you and give you a check-up. It would be nice to have some company.

[Well now, that's unusually straightforward of her. Maybe you should head to the clinic. And not question why the door is open only halfway.]

I'll be there in about fifteen minutes.

[And true to her word, Maxine steps into the clinic around that time, a mug of coffee from the dining room in her hand. Whatever's going on, it's nice not to be so nervy and uncertain about going back to a workplace where she won't remember anyone who remembers her, and she calls out calmly.]

Hello?

[naughty_nurse]

I'm sorry.

[That's all the warning that Maxine gets before Mikan rushes from behind the door, wielding a metal bat, and trying to smack her in the face as hard as she can.]

[abelmedic]

[One of the few good things about life in the zombie apocalypse is that your reflexes never really have a chance to get rusty. Still, the girl rushes in out of her blind spot, with a weapon, and without the extra burst of fear Maxine barely manages to take some of the bat's swing with a forearm thrown in its path. It gives with a sickly crunch and she still takes a blow to the head that sends her staggering, world speckling uneven black for a few lurching seconds.]

[naughty_nurse]

[Still, it does what Mikan wants, and there's a scary smile on her face, and she swings again, aiming for the same spot.]

Hee... Heehee... You need to lay down so I can properly examine you... It's likely you've got a broken bone, and could be suffering from a concussion... Heeheeheehee....

[abelmedic]

[Maxine's never been in this kind of danger and been unafraid. It's strange, sharp but clear, sterile. She could die like this. Right here. Right now.

Her arms stay tight over her head, and she kicks out at the girl's legs, grimacing with the pain of another impact that crunches down to bone. She has to knock her down. She has to get out of here.]

[naughty_nurse]

[For one reason or another, Mikan hadn't been expecting her patients to fight back. As a result, the kick lands, and Mikan yelps as she stumbles backwards, dropping the bat.]

Heeeeh...! Stop it! You have to go lay down! I have to... heal you! GO LAY DOWN!

[abelmedic]

[An angry Maxine would grit words at her through the fog of pain, would dive at the bat, would fight back. If Maxine was angry right now, she would want nothing more than to stop the person who had tried to take her down, who had used a clinic as a trap.

Now, Maxine knows that she can't help anyone unless she stays alive. So she lurches up against a world that's pitching drunkenly as a ship on stormy seas, stumbling for the door, arm screaming pain and splinted tight to her side.]

[naughty_nurse]

Uuuu... yes... sedated! She needs to be sedated! Then I can help her...

[She runs to a table,grabbing one of many syringes she had prepared.]

Heeheeheeheeeeeeee.... This will be fun for us both... It'll make you feel so good!

[She then leaves the clinic door, but my oh my, where is her patient? Has she hidden herself away?]

... Where did you go? ... I need to heal youuu....
