{SIXTH VOYAGE - oh my!}

[capn_redd]

My, my, my, duckies! Can't have this going on in my ship, you see!

Lily, Lily, Lily. Lily comes when you stop to call her, Lily runs when you look away!

Sirs Lamperouge and Gefahr - tsk, tsk, tsk!

[LILY has been suddenly transported into the clinic, in restraints. She will be injected by the doctor or the first mate; for the next 72 hours,

[Lily was moving to hug Even-

-and now she's here.

...

She gasps-and looks around-and tries to move-and sniffles-and starts sobbing again.]

Wh-no-I-wh-what-?

[doctoronboard]

[He always jumps at stuff like this - people appearing out of nowhere - although he should be used to it by now. There's a bit of a pained expression on his face as he sees her.]

Lily...

[lilyground]

[Lily looks to Jamie. She looks terrified; her tears are cutting through the blood on her face.]

Jaymee...?

[doctoronboard]

[He kneels down in front of her, looking her in the eye to calm her. The needle's on the counter.]

It's all right. It's gonna be okay.

[lilyground]

[Sniffle. Sob. Sniffle.]

I-I-R-rolo...

[doctoronboard]

[He looks away just for a second.]

I know, I know.

You were angry, weren't you?

[lilyground]

[Hic]

I...

I wa-...

[She pauses and sniffles.]

Th-the-

...

[doctoronboard]

[He takes a deep breath. This is going to be hard.]

Lily. I know you felt like that's what you needed to do. For Integra. But I need you to understand that actions like these lead to consequences, and a lot of the time those consequences aren't very nice.

[lilyground]

[Consequences. Punishments. Lily knows what those are. She sniffles, and looks like she's going to cry again, but takes a deep, ragged breath instead.]

... I-I know...

Is Rolo...?

[doctoronboard]

[He stands up to get the needle.]

Never mind what happened to Rolo, okay?

It's just one little shot. I have a couple teddy bears here you can hug if you want.

[lilyground]

A shot...?

[Okay. Okay, that's no problem. Lily's not a fan of needles, but there are worse things in the world.]

Wh-what...? [Hic] Shot...? What does it do!?

[doctoronboard]

Nothing too horrible, Lily. Your food won't taste too good for a little while, but after that you'll be perfectly okay.

[He's got the needle in his hand, and he's waiting for the okay from Lily.]

But I don't want to give you the needle until you're comfortable. So you have to let me know if there's anything you want.

[lilyground]

[There's a looong pause. She's staring at the needle, then Jamie, then the needle... and so on. She swallows hard and sniffles, thinking. Of course, she could stall this punishment for as long as she wanted, but that wouldn't make it end any sooner.

Lily nods.]

... Okay...

[doctoronboard]

[He takes a deep breath and crouches down so that he's level with her, taking her arm gently.]

Take a deep breath for me, Lily.

[Waits until she complies, and then quickly sticks her with the needle, taking little to finish off the liquid inside.]

[lilyground]

[Lily whimpers and looks away. The needle sliding into her skin had always been unpleasant, no matter who was administering it.

She cracks open one eye.]

I don't... I don't feel any...?

[doctoronboard]

[He glances up at her, throwing the point of the needle into the sharps bin.]

Good. That's good.

[Now he's got a bottle of peroxide and a cloth to wash away the blood, and he's undoing the restraints.]

You need to get cleaned up.
