[open] Open House - redundancy is redundant
What exactly does an open house at a holistic clinic entail? For the most part, it seems to involve a table of pamphlets on various new age and holistic medical treatments. There are incense samples in jars, and lit novena candles. Another table is full of refreshments. Punch, of course. A tray of cookies (lemon fig, carob, oat/hemp seed and, of course, raisin), a tray of brownies, snack mix and a variety of vegetarian appetizers.
There are books to peruse, crystals and what have you to look over. There is even a game of pin the chakra on the naked sillouette.
Wow, this is a really boring open house, isn't it? I bet you're real glad you came. Just wait, maybe there will be a video on the art of chromotherapy.
While the guests who walk in are "enjoying" the open house, Judah is currently sitting on a couch beside a young, dark haired woman with bandages on her arms. At the moment, he is helping her put some sort of herbal cream on some rashes on her arms and then wrapping more bandages on. Some of the older bandages are a little...red. Blood, maybe. Those rashes must itch, terribly.
The good Doctor Stark does not look so great himself, a little blanched and nauseous. His hands are shaking quite a bit. In fact, are you starting to feel a little bit sick yourself? Shortness of breath? A little weak? How terrible, maybe you should have a seat. The worse you start to feel, the more panic begins to set in. Something is very wrong here. The panic will get worse and worse and worse, and it'll get harder and harder to breathe. Why, it's almost like you've been fear gassed.
But that can't be, right?
