[... Is that water you hear? ... Yes, that's definitely water lapping gently against the side of something wooden. Maybe a boat. Odd, coming from this frequency, he doesn't really seem like the sailing type, does he? What is this, out fishing for the day?

Well, there's some sloshing, dripping... and a sickening wet splat]

... It seems someone got a

Hospital is it. Sounds like you found something that was where it shouldn't be. Wanna tell me about it?

[ksuriuri_san]

What would you like to know? ... There are no immediately defining features. I fear... I have not found a head, nor a torso yet.

[inyourgarden]

That's great. You mind if I come have a look?

[ksuriuri_san]

You are more than welcome.

[If you need him, he'll be back on shore with two arms and two legs]

[inyourgarden]

Docks, right?

[Heading over that way now. Would this be Monby or Flandre he'd found?]

[ksuriuri_san]

[Probably a little of column A and a little of column B]

Yes.

[And they're all neatly arranged. Matching up limbs to the right person as best he can]

[inyourgarden]

[Lucky Seifer. He jogs up and slows down as he draws near, looking the limbs over. Obviously it's too different people, a kid and an adult, but more than that he really can't say.]

How'd you find 'em?

[Because if they're something the Medicine Seller fished up he might have to go for a dive in the lake. If they were just floating on the surface though there's not much he can do about it.]

[ksuriuri_san]

I saw them and fished them out.

[He backs away from the limbs calmly. ... In fact, he looks completely unbothered by all this, just sort of yanking dead body parts out of a lake.]

Perhaps the bodies have reached the bottom. ... Or were eaten.

[inyourgarden]

[He picks up one of the smaller limbs and looks it over taking note of the cuts.]

If that's the case well we don't have that many kids running about here. Someone should know if they're missing one.

These are all you saw?

[ksuriuri_san]

Yes. [And he's not going swimming to get the rest. DNW swimming]

Would you like to take these with you? ... Or perhaps we shoudl just wait until their owners return.

[inyourgarden]

[FFF if anyone is going swimming it will be Seifer don't worry. He does roll his eyes a bit at the suggestion to take the limbs with him. Not that he isn't already taking off his coat to do just that.]

At this rate I'm gonna be running a morgue. [small sigh] Still might as well see if I can't get any of the doctors at the hospital to look at them. [A pause while he looks the Medicine Seller over.]

Seifer Almasy. You have a name?

[ksuriuri_san]

Before the scientists retrieve them for reviving.

[The small man just bows politely]

I am just A Medicine Seller. [Meaning no. No name. Sorry mate!]

[inyourgarden]

Interesting title for a place like Discedo.

[Deeeefinitely looking the Medicine Seller over. After all this is a guy he hasn't really seen much before has he.]

Japanese?

[ksuriuri_san]

[Well you can't say he doesn't look like much, other than being little. Look at all the colors!]

Yes. Edo. [Though he's way the hell all over the place usually]
