ITEM FOUND: CAT HAIRBALL

You just used one of these to open a new "instance" of Lacey the wound. Now you've got another one, and you should probably hang onto it.


MACROBOBBY:

THINK YER SO SMART, DO YEH!?!


FERN:

No! I mean, maybe?? I mean...we REALLY don't mean any harm here. We're just trying to esca-

MACROBOBBY:

Ehhh, STUFF it! Listen missy, I got me a job to do around 'ere, SOMETHIN 'er other's makin' these here premises unwell, aforementioned job entails a patrol fer suspicious activity, and I 'aven't seen nothin more suspicious'n you lot!


WILLIS:

No! YOU'RE supstutious!!!


FERN:

Willis, please.

Sir, honestly, I'm pretty sure what's making Lacey sick is an allergic reaction to her own ca-

MACROBOBBY:

PSSSHHHHSSHSHSHSHH-SHHH-SHHHH-SSHHFFFFFSHSHSHS!!!!! FFFFSHHHHH!!!! NOT SO LOUD!!!!!

...You wanna break the lady's 'eart!?!


FERN:

MACROBOBBY:

I...I don't even know wot to say....really thought *snf*...thought there were still any decent folk in the world...


FERN:

Sigh...well, you're right, we really owe Lacey a lot by now. But...I can't just let you frame us for an allergy. I don't even understand how that's a real thing happening right now, and I don't even want to.

MACROBOBBY:

'Owsabout this then...I let ya off just this once, but next time, yer not gettin' in here unless you've found us a proper baddie.


FERN:

I'm sorry, what? Is that...ethical?


MACROBOBBY:

'Ospital's fulla rotten scoundrels, innit?! Just send a nice nasty worm or a shambler or a pattern screamer our way, somethin' I can at least ticket for some nuisance behavior. The lass'll keep 'er kitties for a few more cycles and you can pass through 'ere much as ya like. Just no dolphins, ya hear?!

FERN:

Um, yeah. No dolphins. I'll...see what I can do.


MACROBOBBY:

Cheerios, then!


Before you can respond any further, the giant blood cell dissolves into the nearest gory wall.

Guess you're done here. For now, your viable exits, as far as you know, include LACEY'S EXAM ROOM, YOUR OWN EXAM ROOM, LACEY'S SURGICAL WARD SUITE, and THE PLANK MAZE.

You'll have to choose wisely, because apparently you won't be allowed back in here unless you can also send the blood cell guy a monster to fight, which sounds like an extremely bad idea all around.
