[M85]Guybrush stared at the intercom for a minute after DeLandel was done talking. "Portal Ring?" he asked more to himself than to Scott, looking back toward his desk. He hadn't seen any ring among his collection of assorted knickknacks. It looked like someone else had gotten it from his group- probably LeChuck, knowing his luck. Well, that was

It was dark when Orihara Izaya opened his eyes, but he didn't need to look around to know that something was wrong. Even before opening his eyes, he knew that something was different.
He lay still for a moment, taking account of what it was that wasn't as it should have been. The smell of the sheets was wrong, for one, not at all like the faintly fragrant smell he was accustomed to freshly-cleaned sheets being. The feel of the sheets was courser than it should have been, too, and the bed itself was all wrong. When he shifted his head, he could feel something hard and bulky underneath the pillow.
Obviously he wasn't in his own bed.
The sheets weren't the only source of a peculiar smell, either. There was a sharp, pungent odor in the air, like the smell of different medications, overlying a faded scent of disinfectants. He could only guess that he was in a hospital.
The real question was whyHe couldn't remember anything happening that would ( ... )

Leon sat against his bed, idly flipping through his dog-eared journal. He'd already checked the drawers for the ring Landel had mentioned and found none. It only made sense, he supposed. Not only had he not been the leader of their group, but they hadn't even ended up in his world. (That he was the youngest might have something to do with it as well.) No matter, though. It would have been wasted on him, what with how he'd be spending most of his time in his room anyway. He was needed here, not messing around in town.

Glancing up at the knock, the young mage was quick to stand and answer it, glad to be getting this out of the way so soon. He opened the door by only a couple inches, peering out at the man beyond it. ...And then up. Wow, this guy was tall. Especially compared to Leon, who stood at a mere four and a half feet.
"You're Mr. Brook?" he asked, making sure to attempt to speak like a professional. He wouldn't want the man to wander off thinking he had the wrong room just because of his age. "I'm Leon." At least he looked friendly enough, tall but thin rather than three hundred pounds of muscle or something equally frightening.

"Yohohoho! Well good evening!" Brook greeted once it settled in. Best to go with it than stand there shocked. Bending down, he provided the boy with his usual toothy grin, "I must admit I was not expecting to meet someone so young, but you must be talented for Minato-san to have recommended you!" Because Brook knew Minato oh so well after just one night of insanity. "I am indeed Brook. A pleasure to meet you, Leon-san! Or as much of a pleasure as anything can be in this place. Yohohohohoho!"

Oh well, he thought; maybe someone in the group tonight would have one, Scott hoped. That way, at least the group as a whole would have some kind of save point on their dungeon crawl. At last! A goddamn save point! He could hardly wait just thinking about it. Hopefully that meant no more risk of being shot or maimed on the way to the basement after tonight. That would be pretty sweet in his books.
Quickly, Scott gathered all his usual items for the night, and with his new aluminum baseball bat gripped firmly in hand, he set out.

The private meeting was suspicious... it was addressed to the patient population, so was there was someone working with the doctor? It was unlikely the "investigation" had anything to do with LeChuck, having just arrived, but he'd have to keep on his guard in case there was some kind of spy. But of course, he was already planning to play up his "good side" when dealing with other patients, so-
And after a couple hits, the rod splintered, forcing the nail out, so he could twist the other end out and away, and had himself a basic weapon. And now it was time to go meet his new friend...
