[karte 3; video/action -- Black Jack might (claim to) not be a philanthropist, but Pinoko sure is! ]

[Pinoko quietly creeps over to the Vine. She looks curiously at it and gives it a poke, then glances suspiciously left and right, before turning her attention back to the Vine:] Pshhhht! Please keep thish a shecret from Lady Doc, okay?

I wanna make an announchment!

[Alright, leafy megaphone and mirror! She can't help but fluff her hair and strike

[doihavepanties]

Excuse me, there's something I'd like to ask you what... she can do.

[doihavepanties]

Mmm, I agree.

Now then, I think it's time I finally get to the reason for my visit here. Could we go inside for this?

[tomboyishcandy]

Pinoko was hoping you'd shay that!

You're welcome to it. [She'll lead her inside the clinic.]

[doihavepanties]

[she follows Pinoko until it's just the two of them inside the room.]

Could I ask that you keep to yourself what I'm about to show you?

[she seems kind of nervous all of a sudden]

[tomboyishcandy]

Sure!

Don't worry... doctor-patient confidentiality!

Pinoko'll even pinky shwear on it, if you want! [She holds up a pinky.]

[doihavepanties]

[She holds up her own pinky, hooking it with Pinoko's before pulling it back.]

Thank you, Pinoko-chan.

[Without saying much else, Suruga slowly begins undoing the bandages around her left arm until finally revealing the monkey's paw it had become.]

This is what I've been hiding all this time. It's... a little embarrassing, to say the least.

[tomboyishcandy]

[Pinoko's eyes go wide and she becomes completely speechless. Ick, what was that thing?!]

P-Pinoko's never sheen anything like thish before... but, it's okay! You don't have to be embarrasshed! Even if it's a little bit-

Jusht shtay right here, okay?

[She quickly runs off.

When she comes back, she's dressed in scrubs that are a few sizes too big for her, but they're tied back enough that they don't drag on the floor.

She reaches out to inspect her hand.] It's not jusht hair, is it...? [She tries to inspect her digits and see if they fold properly.]
