.11 video// Is that... concern?

[xblood_lusting]

[ Good morning, city! Seems everything's back to normal. No bubbles, more people coming in... but this morning has Muraki seated at his desk in the clinic which he's been calling home for some time now. His fingers are steepled together and he frowns at his SFC over them. A moment later, he puts them down and taps his desk once with a finger

[Lea has finally suspected the name of this guy. At least a couple of days ago.

But right now? That doesn't matter.]

Stein's missing too. Since yesterday. I can't find him. There's no note or anything.

[If the SFC is any indication, he's on the back of a chocobo as he moves throughout the city. His eyes are indicating he's exhausted, but he doesn't seem much more affected than that... Besides the twitchiness.

Someone may or may not have drugged themselves up in worry.]

[xblood_lusting]

Yes, I noticed that as well... it seems rather strange to be alone here in the clinic.

[ Oh great. He's the only doctor left in the city. ]

You're overworking yourself, dear boy. I'm sure wherever Stein is, he's alive and well. Lest you collapse from fatigue, you seem in dire need of rest.

[video]

[prominence_glow]

Mmmhmm.

[But there's one more doctor, Lea can't help but think. The one Stein warned him about. What's been up with her?]

Am not. I'll be fine. I need to find Stein first. He always answers my calls, even for stupid crap. I'll start a freakin' search party if I have to. I don't trust this place as far as I can throw it.

[He pops a caffeine pill into his mouth, the less... dangerous alternative he has on him right now.]

[xblood_lusting]

As Stein is a colleague of mine, I can assure you that I will keep you afloat of any future developments should he show up here.

[ That's a caffeine overdose waiting to happen. Muraki mentally prepares himself for it happening. ]

[video]

[prominence_glow]

Good... Alright.

[Lea coughs into his fist and shakes his head. Looks like he's already experiencing a bit of that caffeine trouble. Dizzy and dry throat, oh my.]

You're Muraki, right? The doctor they told me was crazy and who I shouldn't trust.

[video] For insulting his person, you get two replies! 1/2

[xblood_lusting]

[ Yep, there it is. He'll find a way to get Lea to the clinic for proper testing eventually and...

[video] 2/2 I wish I had a twitchy eye icon~

[xblood_lusting]

Now whoever did you hear that from? I can assure you, I'm nothing of the sort.

[ Pleasing warm smile here. Mentally plotting the demise of whoever these people are. ]

[video] It's the truth!

[prominence_glow]

People.

[Another cough, and he almost falls off the chocobo. Oh man, this sucks.]

[video] That it is~

[xblood_lusting]

[ These people must be investigated. For now... DOCTOR MODE! ]

Lea, is it?

[ Sigh. ]

If you pass out then it will be near impossible for you to continue your search for Stein. Return to your home, get some rest and I will contact you upon further developments.

[video]

[prominence_glow]

I won't pass out! I can figure out ways to stay up longer! There are drugs, right? Medicine stuff?

[video]

[xblood_lusting]

Without adequate rest, no amount of medicine will do you any good. An overdose will very likely kill you no matter what other method you employ.

...How much is 'over'?

[video]

[xblood_lusting]

[ ... Oh dear. ]

'Over' is when you've begun to feel any of the possible symptoms.

Have you had a headache recently? Breathing troubles? Nausea?

[video]

[prominence_glow]

...It was just a small headache and- [cough] -I probably just haven't had a lot of wat- [cough] -water.

S'all.

[video] Pardon my delay!

[xblood_lusting]

[ There is a slight frown as he considers the boy. ]

If it gets any worse, you know where to find me, Lea. I am still a physician after all.

[video] It's alright!

[prominence_glow]

I'll keep that in mind, then, I guess.
