Dojoville, outside a medical building.
10:30 AM[/b]
She had done it. After consolidating her money, getting the right contacts, and getting a decent deal, Alpha finally had a purpose that wasn't so destructive.
She smiled as she stood in her new white lab coat, an I.D. identifying her not as Alpha....but by her real name
[i]Alexandria D'Angelo, Chief M.D.[/i]
It made a sense of pride and relief form as she reminisced about the few happy times other than this she'd enjoyed.
But, then she had to get to work.
The building was open, sporting the name "D'Angelo Medical Clinic" and a small sign reading "GRAND OPENING".
She'd engage in some social interaction, and hopefully try to pick up the pieces of her life.
Hopefully.

"Okay then." She said, nodding. "I'm afraid we're not hiring right now, sorry"
-
“Oh that’s unfortunate”. He turns toward the front desk (assuming that there is a front desk he is not already at it) and looks for a business card. [spoiler] Can you give me the layout of the part of the building he is in.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler].....the outside[/spoiler] "What...are you doing?"
-
“Nothing really.” He looks at a watch on his right hand. “I should probably get going.” He starts to walk and a black marble falls out of his hand and rolls under the door of the clinic. The man seems not to notice and keeps walking away at a slow pace.
-
"Sir?" She had picked it up "You dropped this....." She caught up to him and handed it to him
-
“Thank you for picking that up he says taking the marble back.” He continues his walk down the street at a bit faster speed now.
-
"...weird" She muttered, making a note not to hire him.
-
Her hand started to glow blue and a holographic projection came out of it that said “go inside”
-
[spoiler]-blam!-ing fine[/spoiler] She sighed, and knew it was the man. She went inside, but more or less because she had to, Because she worked there.
-
[spoiler]It was your choice you could have ended it their I would have been fine.[/spoiler] The message changes to “ look under the front desk there’s something waiting there.”
-
She sighed and asked the receptionist to check under the desk
-
Under the desk is a long big black metal box it has a cover that you can open and close.
-
The receptionist called security, and Alpha and the other doctors evacuated the area, just in case it was a bomb
-
After a few minutes of waiting the box did not explode and opened automatically. Inside they could see a few books a letter and money, lots of money a very large amount of money. The books were medical books from the years 2045 through 2049. The letter was sealed in a envelope with a stamp a thing you would not usually see in the dojo.

*Vorim stumbled into the clinic, since he hadn’t recognized the name on the sign. There was a red rag wrapped tightly around where his arm had been cut by Alpha the night before. From the look of it, he wasn’t doing so well.*
-
Alpha saw him, and her throat tightened. "Vorim?" She said concernedly, taking his good arm and waving a few nurses over.
-
^Y-Yeah... It’s bad... R-Really bad...^ *His voice was very quiet and shaky. He had lost a lot of blood but had somehow managed to make it to the clinic. Fortunately, he seemed too out of it to be worried that she might hurt him more.* ^Why... Why are y-you here?..^
-
She sighed "Later. for now we have to get you stable." She said as a few nurses came over and they sat Vorim on an empty bed. They began treating him as quickly as possible, starting an IV and treating the burned skin
-
*He kept his head turned away from the wound. He didn’t have the stomach for injuries, especially not his own.*
-
It wasn't long before they had dressed and bandaged the wound. "We're keeping you here for observation. We don't know if the wound was infected or not"
-
^Sounds... Sounds good...^ *He looked up at her, blinking slowly.* ^I... I should have known...^
-
"we're not talking about it" She said firmly. "You're getting rest."
