Guppy comes into the infirmary followed by Shelley.

"Just have a seat and I'll be with you in a sec."

He goes over to get some gloves.

Comments

[shelley_winters]

Shelley sits down obediently.

"Okay. Has there... been an infirmary back here long?"

Shelley Winters, oblivious to the world.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Not that long, about a month or so. You might feel a small scratch."

He rolls up her sleeve and gently takes the blood sample. She shouldn't feel much pain.

[shelley_winters]

Shelley has a higher pain tolerance than you would think to look at her. She doesn't even flinch.

"It's a good idea. The number of weird injuries and suchlike that we get here."

[guppy_sandhu]

"It was invaluable last week during the curses. We were nearly full."

He puts the sample in the machine for analysis. Ah the advantages of technology thousands of years ahead of your own.

"How's your general health? Any long term medical conditions? Have you experienced any memory loss or blackouts before? What about your family?"

[shelley_winters]

"Only magic-related memory loss - and that was ages ago, and I recognise those, wasn't the same at all. Generally, I'm fine. Last time I was ill was when I got a cold last month."

[guppy_sandhu]

"And have you any history of mental health disorders, either yourself or in the family?"

He needs to go through all the other options before just deciding on poisoning.

[shelley_winters]

"No. Some are of the opinion that I do, but the fact that I am currently in the magical bar I had delusions of slightly disproves that."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy smiles. "As sane as I am then."

He glances down at his notepad.

"Oh yes, and have you ever taken any form of hallucinogenic drugs, other drugs, or are you on any medication?"

[shelley_winters]

"Not since I was sixteen and didn't know what was in the cigarette my friend gave me," she says dryly.

That would be a no.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Do you mind me asking how old you are now? You don't have to answer that but it may be helpful."

[shelley_winters]

Shelley grins.

"Don't mind at all. Twenty-three. Nearly twenty-four."

Yes, she looks younger. It's a thing.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy grins.

"Thanks. Younger than me then."

The machine beeps and he tears off the results.

"There's nothing abnormal here. If there were any toxins in your body they're gone now."

[shelley_winters]

She nods, frowning.

"So that's good, at least... means I should be okay now, at any rate?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Hopefully, yes."

He puts down the blood test results. "If I were you I'd try and find out if anyone saw you that night, and if you were with anyone. Try and find out who took you upstairs. You might want to talk to security, because it sounds very much like your drink was spiked, and that's an act of violence in my book."

[shelley_winters]

In Shelley's book, that's a relatively mild act of violence.

But not unworrying.

"I will. Thank you." She stands up again. "Good to know I'm not still affected, anyhow."

[guppy_sandhu]

"No problem. If you feel or remember anything else, come back to me. Do you mind if I put a note up in here asking if this has happened to anyone else? It's just if someone is playing silly jokes it should be nipped in the bud before someone gets hurt."

[shelley_winters]

"No, that's fine, please do."

She nods gratefully.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Okay, take care Shelley. And any more problems, just come and find me."

He opens the door for her then goes over to the desk to write out a note.

[shelley_winters]

She smiles gratefully, and steps out.

"Thanks again, Guppy."
