Third Incision - In which there is kleptomania.

[healforscience]

[Medic is feeling very smug right now. Without his own medical kit, he's been making one by stealing various odds and ends from the hospital. Initally, he didn't think this was a very good idea, but everyone at the hospital greeted him this morning as if he had worked there for years. It wasn't hard to swipe a few things here and there, and he

What sort of 'experiments'?

[healforscience]

Vell, dissection, for ze most part. Since people can die und somehow come back to life ze next day.

I'm interested... but...

[Gabriel has a screw in his head that's just a tad loose, apparently. Even his mun is bzuh'ing.]

[healforscience]

I promise I vill use painkillers zhis time.

[grey_of_heart]

This time?

Ah.

Give me one reason to trust that you aren't doing this just to get your rocks off and I'll do it.

[healforscience]

To be honest, I am lookink for a pattern. Our bodies 'ave been altered since ve arrived here, und I vant to know how.

[grey_of_heart]

That's something I'm curious about, too. I had scars... gone when I arrived here but they've returned. And other things as well.

[Most likely, yes.]

All right, then. Where do you need me to be?

[healforscience]

My scars are missink, so I understand your puzzlement.

Und if you come down to ze 'ospital, could you spare a vial of blood?

[locked]

[grey_of_heart]

I can.

[Pause.]

Is that all? You said there would be more.

[healforscience]

Vell, zince death seems to be a temporary affliction here, I am also lookink for volunteers for autopsy if zhey 'appen to die.

Fine, whatever. I've already died once this week, might as well make it two. I'll be over shortly.

[time passes... to ACTION. And he has arrived at yon hospital. First time he's been there--odd, considering he's died twice.]
