[It's a lovely Saturday; the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and Mika Whitepaws is holding a box addressed to her! What is it? What could it be? She turns it over in her hands, looking surprised, then shakes it a little to see if she can hear anything rattling inside. No, the box makes no noise, and it's small and

Where are you?

[notlikethemovie]

Home, why?

[ooeeooahah]

Because when something "feels a little funny", you might want to have someone check it. I'm Ilsa Higa. I'm a psychiatrist, but I have handled physical trauma treatment.

[notlikethemovie]

I know. I think I'd rather go to the hospital, if you don't mind. It's just a bit of a walk, and I'm not really up to it right now. I do appreciate the offer though, Ilsa. Technically, I was already released from the hospital, but I wanted to be sure everything was fine.

[ooeeooahah]

How long since your release, and when was your followup appointment?

[notlikethemovie]

Let's see, I've been here...what. A little over two weeks? I wrote down my follow up appointment on a notebook I currently don't have with me. Because it's probably hiding somewhere or is still back home.

I have no idea, because I've been a little preoccupied by being kidnapped to think about that.

[ooeeooahah]

If you just got back to how you were before, don't try to count the days here. My guess is they don't count for your healing time. How many days from your discharge to the last memory of home?

[notlikethemovie]

What part of I was on my way home when I was brought here is hard to understand. I'd just been sent home!

[She does sound a little hysterical, her voice breaking sharply before she begins coughing again.]

[ooeeooahah]

I'm sorry, I did not hear a timeframe. You should probably be resting for a few days, at least. I'll check to see if any of the healers we have here are able to help.

[notlikethemovie]

Sorry, I just...

[She sighs, her ears flattening against her scalp.]

I'm a little shaken, is all. I wasn't expecting something that.

[ooeeooahah]

That's a new twist, I admit. I've heard of people getting scars piecemeal, but apparently the powers that be aren't big on being consistent.

Go ahead and rest - are there any of us in the house with you, that are aware?

[notlikethemovie]

Well, they'd stuffed me into a completely different body when I arrived here, I'm not surprised they gave it all back at once.

I'm fairly certain my housemates heard the noise, plus one of them helped me inside after I fell.

[ooeeooahah]

Good - after you see the doctors in the hospital, if you still need help, just call.

[notlikethemovie]

I will, thank you Ilsa.
