War On Crime

"That's good, but um--do they have things there besides fish? It's just--I'm sorry, but I don't eat meat."
================================
*Artemis puts her face in her hands, mortified by her whackjob friends.*

June grinned and lightly punched her totally-not-a-whackjob friend named Artemis on the shoulder before resuming her seat, "Class act, bud."

*Amanda whispers under her breath*

Amanda:<She drooled on me on the way over here. You should've faked being sick. You probably still could. Go to the office and tell 'um how you feel.>
===
*Both of his parents look pleased at this news*

Mrs. Sorenson:<That's excellent news. What kind of care will we need to give him?>
===
*Kylie gets permission to go to the nurse's office for a headache, and the mood noticeably brightens when she leaves*

Taiyo: "They have different kinds of veggie rolls."

=================================

Doctor: "If he experiences any irritation in the area he was operated on, come back. Otherwise he's free to resume his normal activities assuming they don't make him a repeat visitor."

=================================

The teacher comes in and tells everyone to settle down before seeing Artemis tied to a chair with a coat.

Teacher: "Can someone explain why Artemis is tied to a chair?"

*Artemis sinks lower in her seat, trying to hide. Her embarrassment is supreme.*
============================
A"That's good...do you have to get to class?"

*Amanda isn't phased, because this is the kind of shit you do in high school*

Amanda:<I...I don't think she's feeling very well. I didn't want her to fall out of her chair.>
===
Mrs. Sorenson:<Don't worry, he most certainly won't be a repeat  visitor.>

June openly snickered at them, resting her chin on a fist.

Aroma hears a faint shriek as Taiyo took her phone away from her face to check the time.

Taiyo: "Yeah. I'll see you later. Love you, bye."

Presumably Aroma gets to be apart of that exchange before the two hang up and Taiyo hauls ass to class.

=================================

Doctor: "All right. You all take care then."

And the doctor leaves to see another patient.

OOC: No it isn't, it's weird.

"I--uh, y--yes, I l--love you too...Taiy-Taiy."

*Aroma is flustered at the mention of the "L" word--the other one--& whether or not Taiyo heard all of that is an unknown.*

Fast forward to early afternoon around noon or so. Those in school are out to lunch while meanwhile at Clanstein, Ryder is brought back to his and Grimm's room, the orderly sticks around flipping through a clipboard.

Orderly: "Mr. Grimm, would you come with me?"

*Eve sits in a quite corner, reading a book on binary stars while she eats. Probably not too far away, Amanda sits with Artemis and June, occasionally poking Artemis to keep her awake*
===
*Cameron reads a copy of National Geographic his mom left him*
===
*Kylie lays on her bed at home. Usually, Benjamin is still in his cage, hiding in a cardboard box Kylie had given him to play with. Kylie clutches her head as a glass of water falls off her nightstand and tips onto the floor, breaking*

*Being lunchtime, Eve gets a call from Aroma, while Taiyo gets one from Ven.*
==============================
"Stop. It."

*Eve looks at the number for a moment, then realizes she gave it out the day before, so she answers it*

{Hello, this is Eve.}

"Yes."

June sat with a hamburger clutched possessively a few inches from her face, "Art, why did you even come here if you're tired out of your damn mind?"

Taiyo was having lunch with Mimiru before her phone went off and thus she excused herself as it would be rude otherwise.

Taiyo: "Hello."

=================================

Presumably Grimm follows the orderly who leads him to a section of the facility which is mostly offices, stopping outside a door with a plaque that says Summer Amore.

The orderly knocks and opens the door when a female voice says to come in then gestures for Grimm to enter, closing it and leaving when Grimm is inside.

Sitting behind a fairly swanky looking desk is a woman that's probably half his age with long dark hair and relatively formal attire.

Summer: "Good afternoon, Mr. Grimm, I'm Doctor Amore and I will be your therapist for the next while."

V"Hey, it's Ven. Aroma called me & babbled about taking you out for sushi on the beach or something for like an hour, but somewhere in the middle, she told me something happened with Thi. She won't answer, so I thought I'd see if you're okay."
===========================
"I can't just skip school because I'm sleepy, Mom would pile drive me. Maybe literally. Besides, I'm much better now."
===========================
"Uh, hi, this is Aroma. Remember me?"

"You're gonna have to duke it out with your mother one of these days," June tucked into her burger.

"And I suppose it doesn't matter if I say I don't need a therapist."

Amanda:<You should've said you were sick or somethin'. You missing a day of school is the least of your mom's worries.>
===
{Yes, of course.}

Taiyo: "I'm great. Aroma told me about Thiera, but I don't know what happened."

=================================

Summer: "That would be a lie. Please, have a seat."

She gestures to a sofa against the wall to his left. Whether he wants to sit down or not, he feels compelled to do as if something inside his head is telling him what to do.

V"Just thought you might be worried, or something."
==============================
"I can't start ducking out of school whenever Queer Arrow shows up, that'd be suspicious."

*As apparently the menu is burgers, she takes a bite.*
==========================
A"Okay, well...you're alone, right? Because this is about G.V."

"It's early days, I doubt anybody's keeping tabs yet."

Grimm sat down and snarled, "You're affecting my mind?"

{I'll find somewhere. Hold on.}

*Eve tosses her trash, grabs her stuff, then goes to find a quiet place*
===
Amanda:<Yeah. You're not famous yet.>

"Then you didn't pay attention to the news. Those guys were pretty serious. Besides--"

*She takes another bite, before setting the burger down & starting on a fruit cup.*

"She'd just take my temperature, & find out I lied."

"Clearly you just aren't familiar enough with the intricacies of lying about your health," June shook her head, disappointed. "Besides, who on Earth is 'Queer Arrow'?"

Taiyo: "Yes, of course. I'm sure she'll come around when she's ready."

=================================

Summer: "When required. Think of it as an aid in helping sort through your issues."
