[there's a moment of silence before max actually speaks. she's trying to process the scene in front of her.]

Glue, or a bad case of static cling?

[Not a voice he recognises, so there's an uncertain clearing of his throat before he replies.]

I'm trying to work out if one of those would be preferable. It's a curse.

Oh. [she sounds sympathetic.] Yikes.

So that's the kind of thing I've got to look forward to?

Something similar but most likely less cuddly. How long since you arrived?

[That she's new is obvious.]

'Bout a day or two ago.

[she thinks. it's been a while since she's slept.]

I went around a month before my first curse, you might have a while yet. Somebody show you the guide?

Guide? No. I was shown around and given a general run-down of things, though.

...My hands aren't free. Can you take down a number?

Just give it to me, I'll remember it.

[ Number goes here.]

I'm Doctor Chase, I work at the hospital here. If you send me a message later I can forward you a copy of the guide. Doesn't make this place sound any less crazy, but at least you'll be prepared for it.

Thanks, I'll...I guess I'll just leave a voicemail. How long do things like what you're going through usually last?

Twenty four hours, midnight to midnight. Forty eight when they really want to piss you off.

...Great.

Although I guess that's relatively short, as far as forms of torture go. Probably doesn't feel that way right now, though.

They're not all torture. Depending where you get stuck, this could count as a good one.

[that makes her laugh, for the first time in months.]

Unless you can't move at all. And any position can get uncomfortable after a while.

Again, depending who you're stuck to. Some things are worth aching in the morning.

[Not laughing, but there's a slight smile to his tone.]

I didn't get your name...
