Well this is a... little disorienting. I swear I was back home but the length of time I was there is longer than the length of time I've apparently been unconscious here. Could chalk it up to time travel... but I'm not sure if I actually went home for a while or if I've been in the clinic since I believe I was bit by one of those things. I doubt all of that was a dream if I really have been here since then... [Because the broken arm and ribs plus other injuries he got from fighting Cricket sure as hell hurt like they were real.] Has something like that happened to anyone else?

Stephanie, I'm assuming you had something to do with how I got from my room to the clinic, since the last thing I remember was waiting for you to come back. Given the number of people in the clinic, I'm also assuming that the threat's been taken care of or an antidote has at least been made...? Or is something still attacking people? What have I missed?

It's been dealt with. It being a "lobster" from space.

Kate

[detectivegenius]

... A lobster. You're not joking?

Tim

[gevurah]

You should know better in this place.

[ She marks this down. ]

At least, it used to be a lobster.

[detectivegenius]

[He reads through it.] Wow. I'm never leaving any leftovers in the fridge for more than a couple days now.

Tim forever!!

[gevurah]

Really does ruin your appetite.

Kate infinity

[detectivegenius]

How are the other people who were attacked? Are they alright too?

[gevurah]

From the sounds of it, the poison they were injected with flushed itself out of the body naturally.

[save_the_souls]

Ah you mean you went home but were still here?

Yes...that happens sometimes, actually.

[detectivegenius]

I assume I was still here. I haven't been able to confirm it yet.

Any ideas on how it's possible...? [He has a few theories himself.]

[save_the_souls]

You were probably were...did anyone see you while you were unconscious?

I'm afraid not...it's some sort of magic that lets us...be in both worlds at the same time.

[detectivegenius]

I'll have to ask someone who was working in the clinic at the time. Shouldn't be hard to find out.

Magic. [He says the word a little bit flatly. Magic was always complicated and he doesn't like not understanding things. If he doesn't understand it, then that means he has no control over it, and he doesn't like that at all.]

[save_the_souls]

Mm! We probably have records...I could check right now, if you'd like?

Ah...yes. Not a fan of it?

[detectivegenius]

You could? Thank you very much, I'd appreciate it. I'm Tim Drake-Wayne.

Not so much. I prefer science and hard facts.

[save_the_souls]

Sure, it's no trouble! [He's heading to grab those records]

Ah, I see. Where I'm from, science and magic are intertwined, so I'm pretty used to it...

[ectobabble]

Oh, so I'm not the only one who got thrown back home while they were unconscious? That's GREAT! Hey, do you mind if I do a test on you? It ... wouldn't work directly on me for some reason, but I'm trying to figure out if there are any psychosomatic aftereffects...

[when Ray is excited, he doesn't believe in things like small talk. he'll be sorry about that later, really he will]

[detectivegenius]

What would these tests involve? [He's not exactly unwilling but he's not going to leap into it headfirst without knowing what he'd be getting into.]

[ectobabble]

Oh, just a few simple readings, nothing invasive. Ideally, I'd want to take a look at brain-wave patterns. It'd only take a couple of minutes of your time, and wouldn't hurt at all. I promise.

[detectivegenius]

Alright. [Slightly wary still but if it gets some answers...] I'd like to look at the results too.

[ectobabble]

Oh, absolutely. I always believe in sharing the results of my research. I'm Ray, by the way, Dr. Ray Stantz.

[detectivegenius]

Thank you, Doctor. I'm Tim.

[optimystic]

Oh! Yeah, that totally happens sometimes.

[detectivegenius]

Half of me is wondering if I should feel more at ease knowing that I'm not the only one but if no one is sure of why or how it happens... that's not so comforting.

[optimystic]

I don't think anyone knows 'why' the weird stuff here happens.

[detectivegenius]

Can't argue with that.

[optimystic]

So, all we can do is make the best of it!
