[there's silence for a few moments, and then a low growl that filters into the words that follow]

How hard is it supposed to be to find a doctor in a damn hospital? Huh?!

[another silence]

I wanna talk to one. Right now.

[click.]

[OOC: Kicked it on the 14th (please note that it was an offscreen death and thus probably not explicitly

...I don't think she ever got his name |D but I'm betting his voice is distinctive

[loyal_inferno]

Why are you in the hospital? Were you injured? [Because annoying as he had been, she still liked him.]

[voice] pffft, probably |D he didn't get hers either....

[failhound]

[there's a minor pause]

I'm just looking for a doctor to get this stupid chip out! It's about damn time, I'm gettin' my magic back!

[voice]

[loyal_inferno]

[She notes the pause but doesn't say anything about it.]

I'd recommend the doctor who took mine out, but he's not here anymore.

Have you talked to anyone about the procedure? I mean, about the after effects?

[voice]

[failhound]

... You don't think all the doctors disappeared??

[that hadn't occurred to him, but he wouldn't put it past those jerks]

I know it makes your powers go crazy or you... die or whatever, but I don't care! I want it out anyway!

[voice] er fail icon XD

[loyal_inferno]

No, not all of them.

[She nods even though he can't see her and then stops.]

You don't die. [Except for those times people do, but she doesn't want to bring those up.]

You just need to have plans on how to deal with your powers acting up afterward. [Pause.]

I understand wanting it out, but if you rush things, you could get hurt and it might take even longer to get out. Just do this the right way.

[voice] XDD

[failhound]

How would you know? D'you find one?

[he really is looking very hard okay]

I heard you sometimes... [he trails off, because Huey was the one to tell him that and Huey is Huey but -- well, who knows]

I already know the whole thing about powers going crazy, I can deal with that! [he has indeed though some of this through! amazingly enough] What proper way're you even talking about??

[voice] XD

[loyal_inferno]

If they were all gone, we'd know.

There was a time when things went badly, but I haven't heard about anything like that happening since that one time.

[She sighs.] Look, relax. I'm just making sure you know about everything that comes along with it, alright? If your powers are dangerous, you need to plan ahead to make sure you don't hurt yourself or anyone else.

You'll also want someone with you because you get pretty sick for a few days.

[voice]

[failhound]

... How? They're already hard enough to get ahold of! [seriously do you have like tracking collars on them or something--]

[there's a vaguely thoughtful/uncertain pause] So it's not that dangerous other than powers going crazy...? [he knew about the sick thing, too] I ALREADY thought about that, how many times do I hafta say it??

[voice]

[loyal_inferno]

If they had, people would...notice. [And panic.]

...with any surgery there are risks, but for the most part, no, it's not. [She rolls her eyes even if he can't see her do it.]

Hey, I'm just looking out for you. No need to be bratty.

[voice]

[failhound]

[huff!] How the hell would they notice something like that right away?!

And I knew that, that's why I need a DOCTOR to cut it out...! [he sort of slows down near the end because as many times as he's gotten stabbed and punched and kicked and sliced over the years actually deliberately getting it done is weirdly nervewracking]

--Who's being bratty?! I'm just saying, I know what I'm doing!

[voice]

[loyal_inferno]

Because, the doctors are the ones doing all of the healing. There would be a lot more injured and dead if they were gone.

[She rubs at her temples even though he can't see her doing it.]

Fine.

[voice]

[failhound]

... Then just call 'em healers, not doctors! Doctors are more like the guys who give you shots in the human world, or whatever!

[yeah the brat assessment was probably accurate...]

Fine!

[voice]

[loyal_inferno]

They're the same thing. And what do you mean in the human world?

Oh that's real mature.[That last part is mumbled under her breath.]

[voice] 1/2

[failhound]

They're not the same thing, shots don't even do that much for healing -- healers're better!

... You don't know what the human world is??

[voice] 2/2

[failhound]

[HE HAS A BIT OF AN EAR FOR BADMOUTHING--]

... What was that?

[voice]

[loyal_inferno]

Doctors still heal.

Of course I know what it is, I just don't get why you made the distinction.

[She's gonna go ahead and ignore that last bit.]
