(ROLE) DOCTOR WHO

[dormheads]

doctor who.

On Monday at 9 PM, Nier receives an encrypted e-mail.

middleman@Wiwaldi.edu

Meet me at the Student Health Office alone. Don't tell anyone.

Luke

No one is in the halls as Nier creeps to the Student Health Service Office. The door opens, and Luke waves him inside.

There is a trendy plastic letter board standing up on the counter which reads:

DOCTOR WHO
● DOCTOR or WHO?
● DOCTOR will spare someone from execution on Sunday, but under certain conditions. WHO? will allow the removal of a single piece of evidence. If no evidence is known, use "wildcard" to make it random.
● This choice is only active during the current week.
● You have to pick one or the other (doctor or who), not both.
● Deadline is Tuesday, 6 PM.

Not necessarily, but it's possible. Have you guys made a list of people you suspect?

[He peers at Nier for a long moment, thoughtful.]

Do you remember what you get if you happened to successfully save someone?

[amain]

[ i'm crying

Nier just closes his eyes. ]

[darksubverted]

[DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES.]

I wouldn't bank on vouchers so much since there are a lot of ways to get them. But... maybe the person you're looking for in your list always has some to spare, depending on what they get from what they do?

Something to keep in mind.

[amain]

I feel after the voucher count we had in the past trial and maybe looking at trials overall, we can try to approach some people. Maybe those with more consistently strange numbers.

[ Which reminds him: ]

Do you know how many vouchers the doctor role gives for properly working?

[ did i ever ask this ]

[darksubverted]

[i can't remember but it's fine]

I don't know actually, not until you've been successful. But you have a difficult job, so... I assume it's more than one or two.

[amain]

[ i think i never asked cause i assumed riku wouldn't know and i'm right ]

But something like what we're talking about... What would a success mean? Would it be derived from how many people do it if it isn't a compulsion? And if it is a compulsion, then they wouldn't get any?

[darksubverted]

[STOP]

You're asking the wrong guy. I don't have a clue. But it's a rule, right? Would you really want to waste your time if it were you?

Think about it together. Use your heads. Listen to what they think, too. If someone doesn't sound reasonable, try someone else.

[amain]

A rule.

[ Hm. ]

Thanks, Riku. I'll see what other people think.

[ You really are a light. ]

[darksubverted]

[OH, HE HATES THIS WEEK. His face gets red.]

Stop that!

[amain]

Stop what?

[ Oh, he's embarrassed again. It's cute. ]

[darksubverted]

[NIER!

He punches Nier in the arm way more gently than he should.]

Cut it out. Why are you like this?

[amain]

Ow. What? [ Oh. ] Just don't read my thoughts?

[ LIKE IT'S THAT EASY ]

[darksubverted]

I can't just not read your thoughts when they're put in my head!

[TCH.]

[amain]

At least I don't go yelling someone's name in my head?!

[ why are they fighting ]

[darksubverted]

I can't help that either!

[His face gets red.]

There's nothing wrong with that!

[amain]

[ He tries it.

RIKU! ]

[darksubverted]

[?!?!?

AHHH!

Why are they so fucking stupid?]

[amain]

[ Actually, this is kind of fun? ]

[darksubverted]

[...

Cut it out.]

[amain]

[ He smiles, obviously wanting to laugh. Fortunately, you can't THINK laughter.

Riku!

Not as yell-y. ]

[darksubverted]

[Nier, seriously.

We're not doing this while thinking.]

[amain]

[ We already are. ]

It is silly.

[darksubverted]

[Cut it out,]

and stop thinking in my mind!

[amain]

[ I'm lucky to have you, too. ]

Okay, I'll stop now.

[darksubverted]

[He looks startled, and then deeply embarrassed.]

Do you have to say--think things like that?!
