Case 003 [Action/Voice] (Backdated to the afternoon of 4/20)

[Doctor's appointments are a little bit like dating. You give someone all your information, they tell you to take off your clothes, and sometimes you end up with a hand shoved inside you.

...That's a bit of an exaggeration, actually. So where did the musing that they're similar come from? The fact that one arranges to meet at a certain time on a certain day, and there is an unspoken expectation of maintaining that commitment--or at least calling ahead of time to cancel. That was courteous.

So in a way, this was like being stood up. But Muraki doesn't wither in the burning heat of rejection. He sits next to an empty bed, smiling a restrained smile as he pulls the top off a pen and replaces it multiple times.

After an appropriate amount of silence, he flips his journal open and makes an entry.]


Sheik? This is Doctor Muraki speaking. I seem to recall setting an appointment with you for eleven forty-five this morning, and it is now twelve-thirty...ah. [He checks the time.] My apologies, one in the afternoon. I just wanted to check in and make sure everything is all right. I hope nothing happened to you or your loved ones.

I would also like to reschedule. If you're not in literal pieces right now, or otherwise incapacitated, please respond back as soon as possible. Thank you.

[Grandpa is wondering what Nill sees in you, again.]

Now how could anyone refuse a summons like that?

[The sarcasm: it is obvious.]

[It certainly has nothing to do with him being the most colorful man she's ever known.]

[He chuckles low inside his throat.]

It would be very naughty of him to avoid me twice...not to mention unwise. We aren't exactly meeting to chat about something trivial like the weather.

[Muraki sees your sarcasm and decides to poke at it a little. Subtly, of course.] But how are you, Grandfather? We haven't spoken in a while.

[identity profile] whichwayagain.livejournal.com 2011-04-24 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Naughty? And you talk to his granddaughter with that mouth?]

Shouldn't doctors speak to their clients professionally?

[Oh lord, Mihai hates it when Muraki calls him that. Look, Muraki may have somehow brainwashed his way into the family, but Nill's his only grandchild.]

We haven't. [Now Mihai wishes he'd kept it that way.] And I'm doing well enough. What about Nill and Draco? [...] And yourself.

[identity profile] letsplaysurgeon.livejournal.com 2011-04-25 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Wasn't I professional? [His voice sounds vague and surprised--not matching his face at all.]

...They're both in excellent health--of course you knew that already about Nill. I'm glad you contacted me actually, because I'd like to thank you for taking care of my wife during the shift. It troubled me to find her missing, but at least she was taken somewhere familiar. [Part of it was just trying to get under Mihai's skin, knowing how he felt about him, and finds his contempt amusing. But it wasn't insincere. Arrogant and strange as Muraki was, he needs his family.]

Aside from the mishap, I also can't complain.

[Really? Really?

She knows the festival is going on, but geez, that's rude. Doctors are people too, and deserve just as much courtesy as anyone else.]
Doctor, are you still around at the clinic today? I was going to bring in some medicine I made, if it's not too much trouble.

[voice]

[identity profile] letsplaysurgeon.livejournal.com 2011-04-23 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
[The soft clicking sound of a pen cap might be heard in the background as Muraki fidgets with it again. And then a smile in his voice.] I'm here. And it would be no trouble at all--feel free to drop by at any time.

[voice] sorry for the late;;

[identity profile] unbalancedsoul.livejournal.com 2011-04-28 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be over shortly then. [Prompt as always, she'll gather together the boxes of bottled medicines and powders and head on over to the clinic.]

[voice] It's no problem at all~ <3

[And he'll just be sitting in the same spot for a while.] Splendid. I'll see you when you arrive.

[...You know he hates it when you call him out publicly like that.]

I must have forgotten. [No apologies or anything, just flat annoyance. He didn't forget - Duo'd made a point of reminding him earlier - he just didn't feel like bothering. Going to see the doctor is a pain when he feels perfectly fine.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] letsplaysurgeon.livejournal.com 2011-04-23 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He does. But you just stood him up for an appointment and made him wait around for you: Muraki doesn't feel inclined to be discreet.]

Is that what happened?

...I would hope that your health would be a priority, Sheik. At least enough to trouble yourself into writing it down.

There is nothing wrong with us, Doctor. [Of course that very statement reveals the exact opposite. The shift definitely triggered some of the crazies.]

[...]

You answered a personal question in plural, I believe that says enough to the contrary. Clearly we need to reschedule.

Does that mean you're free for lunch? Well, a really late lunch.

(Is this a voice post? :'D;; Also I don't know why this icon)

[identity profile] letsplaysurgeon.livejournal.com 2011-04-23 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently so. [Beneath the sunny amusement is a splinter of impatience.] Is that an invitation?

(Sure! And I cracked up when I read your icon keyword. Oh my god. XD)

[identity profile] purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com 2011-04-23 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I guess it is. [He heard the strained tone of voice, which Tsuzuki interprets as frustration towards his suggestion.] Unless you have too much to do, that is.

[Voice] (XDDDD I'm glad you liked it~)

[identity profile] letsplaysurgeon.livejournal.com 2011-04-23 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He seems to think about it for a moment.] ...I shouldn't be away from the clinic for more than an hour or two, but thanks to certain absent patients of mine, I'm quite available at the moment.

Nothing is wrong with your father--that I know of. This is just a routine check-up.

[He was going for a walk through the village, just to clear his head about a few things and he finds himself wandering into the clinic. He has his hands in his pockets and his usual passive expression in place as he looks around and then spots Muraki. It's only natural to greet him.]

Hey. [He looks at the empty bed he's sitting next to.] ...Lunch break?

[He was in the middle of balancing his pen horizontally between his fingertips when he recognizes that a familiar voice is addressing him, and he spins in his swivel chair.]

...Ah, Soul. How nice to see you. [Then he takes stock of what he actually said. A short laugh scrapes his throat, and Muraki pockets the pen.] Something like that.

And you? Are you not feeling well?

[Duo sounds hurried (it is lunch time) and very annoyed.] I reminded him this morning at breakfast and I left him a note. Dad must be at home. Do you want me to go get him? If you have time for an appointment now...

I'm about to go out to lunch with a colleague right now, but I will be more than happy to see him when I return.

[He takes note of Duo's tone of voice.] ...At some point, I would also like to sit down and discuss how your father has been doing. When you have time.
