The new recruits approached the contract, each grabbing a pen and scribbling their names onto it.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Excellent, welcome to the family!<br/><br/>(Kimi) Yay, thank you.<br/><br/>(Jason) ... meh<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Well Mr. Jason, let me give you your first assignment in your illustrious career.<br/><br/>(Jason) ...sure.<br/><br/>(Kimi) Speaking of, when do I start?<br/><br/>The doctor and Jason left the room, strolling towards the laboratories.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) You have a gifted vocabulary I see.<br/><br/>(Jason) What?<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) You're rude.<br/><br/>(Jason) Rude? That's just how men talk.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) I can't imagine a gentleman talking about the intelligence of their mother in a negative light.<br/><br/>Jason tilts his head to look at Arkestone, squinting his eyes slightly.<br/><br/>(Jason) Can you talk normally?<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Hah! Fine, real men are not too aggresive. They have their contempt under control.<br/><br/>(Jason) Well my Dad talks like that.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Unfortunate.<br/><br/>(Jason) No, he's a good man!<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Of course, my apologies... Do you want to be here?<br/><br/>(Jason) What does it matter?<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Well, you're a man in the making. What if you went somewhere else?<br/><br/>(Jason) ...Daddy wouldn't be happy.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Mmm. Why did he want you here? This isn't exactly a daycare.<br/><br/>(Jason) He said I was a bad kid.<br/><br/>Arkenstone watched studiously as Jason glanced at the floor and hid his hands in his pockets.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Really...?<br/><br/>(Jason) Yeah. I am bad.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) *ahem* Seems rather aggresive.<br/><br/>(Jason) Am I going to die here?<br/><br/>Jason's face twitched as it held its blank expression, yet tears swelled up towards the corners of his eyes. Arkenstone flipped around and knelt down in front of Jason.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Hey, hey, hey, look at me. Look at me.<br/><br/>Jason's sullen eyes rose to stare into the doctor's.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) I'm a doctor, and my one job is to keep people alive and help them thrive. As long as I still hold my position here, I can fix you up. You just need to trust me okay?<br/><br/>Jason's nose was blocked up by grief, sniffing to hold it down. Jason nodded his head weakly.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Atta boy! Now, I know Salina wanted you to do some experiments, but you're not ready for those. See when Salina is angry, she wouldn't hesitate to impale you on a rose thorn if she could. You could really see the steam coming from her ears if you looked carefully. Like a teapot.<br/><br/>(Jason) Heh heh. She's the ugliest teapot I've ever seen.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) Ha ha, but she's a beautiful lamia no?<br/><br/>(Jason) Yeeaahhh... she's a seven.<br/><br/>(Arkenstone) You're so lucky she's not here with us.<br/><br/>Together the two reached their destination, the emergency room.
