Thread: Split Ends: Start-Up

"I hope she's okay... and that Kris is okay, too, actually."

"Sav ucit ej nejnejic. Madan es ad es atsin ejin olidogod ad Mia... Ano ej soj kejivu oncilirp dalm.*"

"It has come to my attention," Ms. Foster announced, "that the amount of capsules sold a day has been decreasing alarmingly. I need you to increase it. By any means possible. Because I am certain that there are many able people that are unemployed, and they may well replace you. That is all." She walked off.

Emily sighed in relief and went to pick up a list, then walked out of the room.

John sighed in relief and went to pick up a list, when the woman stopped him. "Can I see some form of ID?" she asked. John showed her his blank card as Emily left the room, and then went to pick up a list.

*Your concern is appreciated. I hope nothing has happened to Mia... She's still quite young, after all.

OOC: The whole plot arc thing doesn't continue until evening.

OOC: OK. I'm planning to activate the Scolipede merge next morning, since I doubt it would delay much longer than that.

"So, what now?"

OOC: I'm taking a break from SE for today.

OOC: Yes, sir.

"Ap... Oka ot ejin esiverp amelborp, en macejos es repus...*"

*Well... If it isn't too much trouble, I don't feel great...

OOC: Ok then.

"Um... I would love to help you with that, but what can I do? I don't think Skitty can learn healing moves."

"Ilker ets ad mas nabertop kejil. Ots enicidem i ejdg hib ag itibod?*"

*You said I needed medicine. What medicine and where will I find it?

"Um... flu shots? Although they wouldn't give you a shot without proper registration, and I doubt you'd want them to do that anyway..."

"Ucen itezu ovipejc olib. Etsej il adaki. Ots dog es idogod.*"

*I won't take vaccines either. Ever. Whatever happens.

"Fine. Since we can't get any serious medicine without a prescription, let's see if we can get fever medicine in a store."

OOC: PolkJolt, please get on with it. I'm tired of standing around and talking.

OOC: I am! Look!

"Ovolo nican,*" Kris said.

*Lead the way.

"Umm... Right, let's see..." The Scorpion Queen managed to change to shadow-human form. "I'd recommend that you all turn shadow-human, too." she started walking, looking for a pharmacy and/or grocery store.

Kris did so (albeit with some difficulty) and almost fell over. "Whoa... This is weird." She felt her Elgyem memories fading, and she began to regain her human ones, and retained Merge memories, only they were somewhat fuzzy. "This is so strange... I feel myself again."

Later...

"I'm feeling better already!" Kris exclaimed but seconds after taking the medicine. Then she noticed something on a shelf, and she took it down. "What's this? Genesis Industries Weight-Loss Pill? 'The Fat Just Walks Away'? I'm no prophet, but this sounds fishy. 'Walks Away'. Huh. Probably nothing." She put it back on the shelf.

There was a knock on Stacey's door, and a red-haired girl at the entrance. "Hello, I'm representing Genesis Industries. May I take a review?"
"Of course, come in! It must be quick though, I'm going out soon!"

"Hello," said the white-haired boy who'd abruptly arrived on Roger's doorstep, "I'm representing Genesis Industries." He held up an ID card. He did indeed represent them. "May I take a review?"
"Of course, do come in," Roger replied.

"Hey... you're speaking English? What is that stuff?"
