>>142883A citrus smell. Orange rinds
>>142884Ooo, that's a good one. Alright, after a shower and other bathroom duties, Silver looks throughout the lot on the off chance there's a washer/dryer hookup.
>>142885Nothing on the second floor. Mala is still in his room, Jubilosa is in the master bedroom, and Khoi has retreated downstairs. There is no hookup downstairs, either
>>142886That may make it expensive to try to install them, then. Silver decides to check in with Khoi.
"Hey, you have not seen anything to wash laundry with around, have you? Washboard, bucket, that kind of thing?"
Looking forward to playing again!
>>142887She looks up at him from the seat in the living room
“Under the house. There are machines.”
>>142891"Thank you!"
He turns to leave, but before doing so looks back at Khoi.
"Hey, what would you think of you and I going out tomorrow? Kind of like date?"
>>142891I think we left off here.
>>142816 >>142894The doctor is blood red unicorn with a combed back mud brown mane wearing a wrinkled white lab coat and glasses that cover deep blue eyes with hex-shaped pupils, though the glasses appear to be more like safety goggles than focus lenses. His barrel is rather large, and indeed he is larger than either Spark or the Blackwood doctor.
>>142892She moves her head back, and her eyes become wide
"Oh... uh... where?"
>>142895Spark goes over to talk with the Blackwood doctor.
"How's it look?"
>>142896"Uh, well, they are accepting him here. There's definitely a growth and some wasting. They will do a biopsy to examine him."
>>142897"Have they mentioned if they have any feeling either way of his chances at this stage?"
>>142898"He... he wouldn't yet. Not until they have the illness 'confirmed.'"
>>142895"I do not know exactly where, but I was thinking about taking you out for dinner and then maybe seeing what movies are all about."
>>142900"Oh. A movie. That sounds nice."
>>142902She smiles, and places a hoof up to cover part of her face
"Yes..."
>>142899"Do you feel he has a good chance?"
>>142904"I..."
He looks over at the doctor, at Miskobag, and then at Wabishki. Then he leans in closer to Spark, and whispers in his ear.
"No. I don't."
>>142903He does a little happy jump.
"Yes! Thank you!"
>>142905"Disappointing to hear. I have to hold out for hope though."
>>142906Looking away
"Well, I... I have some concerns."
Then looking back to Silver
"But I will give the thought a chance."
>>142907"I think it's better to keep expectations low. You don't get mad when others do the best they can and it's not enough, you're not as sad when things go wrong. And if you're wrong, you'll be happy."
>>142908"An interesting way to view it."
>>142909"Be a doctor for a while, and you'll look at it that way too. You get surprised sometimes, yes, but surprises can go both ways. But you don't want patients and loved ones to have the wrong expectations."
>>142911In this time, the doctor continues talking to the wolves. Miskobag lays down, eyes and ears focused on the doctor, while Makade stands. Wabishki's ears twitch as she sits down, her tail curled around her.
>>142912Spark wonders how he could help. He feels a bit powerless in this situation, as most would.
>>142913Before Spark, the doctor explains that they will proceed to a biopsy shortly. The procedure will take some number of hours and no one who isn't a doctor will be allowed to be present for the procedure itself.
Waabishki's mouth hangs partly open in concern, while Miskobag and Makade listen.
After some time, the creatures are told it is time for them to leave Miskobag
>>142914"Alright. We need to give them space to work."
>>142915Makade walks out confidently carrying his postage. Waabishki walks out a bit more slowly, and with her tail down.
>>142917The doctor walks out, and happens to ask
"Hello, little pony. You are with them?"
>>142919"Out of towners, it seems... Well, my name is Hill Air. I will help as I can, but right now it's just a matter of waiting on a small surgery. Call back at the number on the phone book at 7 PM."
>>142921"Oh, and what is his package there? It looks like a leg brace container."
>>142922"Yeah. I hope you don't mind. It was empty and propped up over there next to the trash. My friend there had something to pack up to store, so he helped himself."
>>142923"Uh... Okay then. Well, good luck."
>>142924Spark somehow got out of that one and heads out with the others.
>>142925Waabishki walks out, looking worried.
"What do we do now?" She asks
>>142926"We need to find a way to pass the time and relax. Got any ideas?"
>>142927"Well..." She pulls her lips back.
"We could wait here, right?"
The doctor adds,
"Even if we know what the illness is, they may want Miskobag to stay overnight."
Waabishki looks down, then up, and says
"Makade said he smuggled a letter out of Blackwood, from his parents who said they live in town. We could stay there, maybe?"
>>142928"I think staying at a friendly place might be best in a strange city."
>>142929"Yes." She nods.
"That sounds right."
The doctor says:
"I would like to go visit my own family... But forgive me if I would not like everyone staying there."
>>142930"I understand. But first, we get our friends to their house."
>>142930"Well... I suppose I can help you with that." He answers
>>142932"Glad to hear it. Do we know exactly where it is, or are we going to search the neighborhood?"
>>142933Waabishki:
"Makade knows where it is."
She looks over at Makade, who flops his ears, and winces
She continues,
"You know where it is, right? Didn't they say in the letter?"
Makade:
"Do we have to go?"
Waabishki:
"Well I think it would be best. They would be friendly, right?"
Makade respond
"Ugh, yes, most likely. Fine then, They moved into a location on Rainey street. 325 Rainey Street. I haven't been there."
The doctor:
"I knw vaguely where that is. At least, where Rainey Street is."
