>Talk to Nurse Millie

FERN:

Um, hi there...Millie. You, er, you alright?


MILLIE:

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


FERN:

Willis? Is she...saying something?


WILLIS:

Ferrrrrn!!! You're hopeless!

She says, "Pardon me! Must have lost a few layers...hi there, Willis...are you and this patient and this unidentifiable empty space remaining untroublesome?"


You can only hear a wet, raspy breathing, but Willis is parroting a voice you can only describe as both "dainty" and exhaustingly humorless. An image of a ballerina in a business suit crosses your mind.
FERN:

Um...yep! Definitely! No trouble around here!!


MILLIE:

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


WILLIS:

Okay...she says "Oh, goood, very good, we've had some rather troublesome patients these layers and I am loathe to engage further in any disciplinary biomatter confiscation."


FERN:

Oh, haha! I know that feeling!

I've, um, heard about those patients, I think! Lots of...problems...with the Hospital. Right?


MILLIE:

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


WILLIS:

*Ahem* she says "Problems? No, no, the Hospital is flawless of course, and smelling flawlesser than ever I might add. It's patients that cause trouble, you know. Nasty things. Not you, of course, assuming I won't find you handling any hospital property unauthorized.

That would prove... u n f o r t u n a t e."


FERN:

Oh no, of course not!

[Great...it really is just another one. This is what I get for trying to help everything in need...and I guess asking anything too suspect is out of the question, too.]

...Do you remember how you wound up locked in the trash, Millie?


MILLIE:

hhhhhhhhhh


WILLIS:

She says "Locked in the-? Oh...well...hm...I need a break, some layers, from persistence in the same continuity. Who it was that rendered me incapable of reentry into the Hospital, I cannot recall...and it is of little relevance to the duties I must certainly attend to.

Speaking of which...you wouldn't have happened to have encountered my sister, Molly, would you? It is an integral part of my function to keep her workplace performance...stabilized."


FERN:

Oh, yeah, I uh...heard she was busy with the Spleen guy. There's these little Mollies around now, that explo-


MILLIE:

hhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


WILLIS:

....I'm not a'sposda say that word.
