DEPLOYMENT 6: I'm Loco for Logos

[walking_nuke]

[ACTION (In and Around Goldberg Street, Afternoon, OPEN TO ALL)]

[In the 50's, the Postman still delivers on Saturdays! Balin heads out of 847 Goldberg Street to check the mail-and, after opening the mailbox and retrieving what's inside, sees that it's a package in his name.]

Huh. They finally sent me somethin' else?

[In a inglorious fashion,

Action

[maguskiller]

[Kiritsugu doesn't have the ability to use magic anymore, but his knowledge of how it feels has been unaffected by that. While the traces of it are almost completely undetectable in his current state, he knows something is going on.]

[He arrives shortly after this happens, having missed the light show. Without a word, he draws a half-empty pack of aspirins he bought recently, offering it.]

Wilbur.

[Balin glances up, surprised.]

-Kitsurigu! Haven't-seen you in a while-

[His voice a shuddering quality to it, the kind that comes with enduring a lot of pain-but he looks really grateful that someone's shown up with painkillers.]

-Oh man-thanks. I owe ya big time-

[Taking the pack, Balin hurriedly pops some asprin ... a little more than the usual recommended dose. He's hurting like a mofo. After Balin's done, he gives the pack back to Kitsurigu, and sighs. It's gonna take some time for that to kick in ...]

-Even'a fuckin' mail is sadistic around here.

[maguskiller]

[A nod]

I've only witnessed objects being given back so far. I suppose health conditions or abilities would be more taxing on a person.

Do you know what happened?

[walking_nuke]

[That picture of the Golden Ratio is still next to Balin, where he'd dropped it in the midst of the download process.]

Sorta-I think Mayfield gave me back my tabula ... but it ain't-

[He winces. This is going to be hard to explain clearly ...]

[PHONE (Afternoon, OPEN TO ALL)]

[lunawolves10th]

Are you all right? Do you require a medicae?

[walking_nuke]

I'm-somebody gave me some painkillers, I'm just-waitin' for'a stuff to kick in.

I ... think I should be alright. Or-I dunno. This ain't never happened back home. Figures Mayfield would find'a way to fuck it up.

[lunawolves10th]

I see... I was fortunate when I have regained my abilities, no pain involved.

[walking_nuke]

Damn lucky-I had no idea'a town could play tricks with stuff from home like'is. Never had it happen all at once-

... What's a medicae anyway? I mean, sounds like medical supplies, but-

Phone

[doctor_tyrant]

I can write you a prescription if you'd like.

[walking_nuke]

Yeah? You-work at'a hospital'ere?

[doctor_tyrant]

Oh, yes. Just call me the Doctor. And I'd be more than happy to recommend some medicine depending on your symptoms.

[walking_nuke]

-Ahright. I think-this is like a migraine. I ain't sure-Mayfield fucked with somethin' I got back, normally it doesn't happen all at once-

[ooeeooahah]

Wait, that was you?

[walking_nuke]

Yeah-I guess you saw it, huh-?

[ooeeooahah]

From across town. Probably a good idea to wait for back-up before opening things from home. Do you have pain meds now?

[walking_nuke]

[Balin sounds a little shocked.]

Damn, that far away-?

Well, I-a buddy showed up an' gave me some of his, but I don't think-we got some here at'a house. ... Yeah, next time I'm-gonna wait. Holy hell, if I knew'a town pulled off this kinda shit ...

[rapier_ex]

-Coming home later in the day.-

Oh my gosh, are you alright?!

[walking_nuke]

[Balin's just sitting over here rubbing the side of his head.]

Oh-yo, Virginia ... No-Goddamned town fucked with me when it gave somethin' back.

[rapier_ex]

D'you need anything?

[walking_nuke]

[What was it that one woman on the phone told him to do ... OH RIGHT! COFFEE! VIRGINIA KNOWS COFFEE]

-Yeah. I was-can you make some coffee? I was told drinkin'a cup with, like, three sugars'll help with'a migraine.

[He doesn't really want to move from the couch.]
