[Action] The bagels actually aren't a lie this time? notursalvation November 23 2010, 23:00:02 UTC
[Nagi is among those gathered around the door. He's been to the vendors and took the deal that was offered. But he's still not totally ready to walk through.

He's got a piece of candy (or what looks like one) in one hand as he just stares at the door. He unwraps it and puts it into his mouth, swallowing it whole. He never takes his eyes off of the door.]

[ This young man seems okay, apart from his apparent door obsession, though it doesn't hurt to make sure.

She approaches slowly, placing herself so that she doesn't obstruct his view, but that he could easily turn to look at her if he wanted to. ]

Have you been here long?

[Action] Retcon me some bagels then. B| notursalvation November 24 2010, 00:47:13 UTC
[Nagi turns his face toward her, though it's a moment before his eyes follow to actually look at her. His mechanical voice is neutral, but his expression is a combination of bemusement and wistfulness.]

Longer than I intended, I think.

[ The mechanical voice is unexpected, but not particularly off-putting. ]

I can imagine.

Is there anything you need? Water or perhaps food?

He's taken to passing by the door throughout the day, worried about those affected but unsure what he can do. It is in the course of this routine that he notices Lamb on her rounds.

"Doctor Lamb, hello." He indicates the food and medical supplies. "What's all this?"

"Mr. Meltzer, good to see you again."

She smiles.

"I wanted to ensure that the people here are reminded of certain necessities that might escape their attention otherwise."

She gestures towards the food and water especially.

"The effect of this door is all too compelling it seems."

Lamb wonders if Mark is one of the door groupies or just passing through. Her bet is on the latter, given that his attention is on the supplies rather than the door.

"Have you been waiting as well? Is there anything you need?"

"Not for supplies, no. But it's good I ran into you. I was hoping that we could speak in private."

He nods at the crowd.

"Once things have calmed down, I mean."

"Yes. Yes, of course."

For a brief moment she is surprised at the request, but then she realises that the reason for it is obvious.

What remains unclear is why he still wants to speak rather than act on what he has undoubtedly been told.

She wonders if this could be an unexpected chance.

"You can see me in my practice anytime."

[So many people by the door. Crona hovers around a corner, really wanting to go over to the door since something seemed to be behind it but they can't get themselves to. After fidgeting for a few moments they finally build up half the nerve to carefully walk over to it.]

[ Lamb passes Crona and commences her usual spiel. ]

[Crona jumps, emitting a loud frightened squeak when Lamb speaks. They were so focused on getting to the door and asdfas. Shaking slightly from nerves, Crona slowly but barely glances at Lamb as they try not to look at her eye to eye.]

N-N-No.

What, you being everyone's maid or something?

[ Well, that's... an interesting duo. She addresses Ragnarok first. ]

The door seems capable of drawing people's attention- people's undivided attention towards itself. Some people may feel compelled to neglect themselves; I, however, will not.

[ And one for Crona, because that wasn't the most convincing no she's ever heard. ]

Are you sure there is nothing I can do for you?

[Delta's hungry, but he can't bring himself to leave the DOOR. He notices Lamb handing out food, but at first he doesn't react. He's a tad wary, but his grumbling stomach just might betray him.]

[ One grumbling stomach is not enough to draw attention to anybody in a hall filled with so many people, though Delta's presence doesn't escape her. ]

Have you been waiting here as well?

[He turns to her bows his head forward in a slight nod. Delta glances at the door every so often, obsessively.]
