Still Alive

[xp_phoenix]

It's been a busy time at the hospital. Apparently people think Labor Day is the last chance for them to go do something silly in the name of summer.

One of my patients, who has a mutation that makes them like a snake, thought it'd be fun to get drunk and try to squeeze into a tiny storm drain on a dare. They overestimated their flexibility and, needless to say, I had to make a house call.

Who knew that alcohol DIDN'T make you invincible?

Anyway, I'm still alive. No need to send a search party.

Don't tell me about it.

I had a shift in the ER last night. Some pyromancer thought having fire powers would make him fireproof and was a bit too enthusiastic with something to light the grill. Too bad he was not fireproof. Was only his hand luckily, but still...

*headdesks*

Oh, that guy! I saw him come in. Wore a red polo shirt? He was kind of cute. Except when he kept making inappropriate fire jokes around the nurses. Sorry you got stuck treating him.

Yup, the red polo shirt guy. I might have accidentally pushed a little too hard when I cleaned a secondary burn on his arm once or twice...

The poor dear. :D

Not very professional of me, but there you have it.

Could you imagine a mutation that did make you invincible when drunk? Goodness.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

I could...which does sound somewhat fascinating, but highly impractical.

[xp-darcy.livejournal.com]

I can only imagine the shenanigans a person like that would get into.

I suppose if they kept alcohol on them at all times...But would they get alcohol poisoning? Or would it have the opposite effect on their system? Hmm. I must tread lightly. My scientist is showing.

But now we need to know all of the details FOR SCIENCE.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

If we can find someone with alcohol based enhanced strength I am all for the science. :D

What about a search party that comes with wine?

...

I'll allow it.

(Are you alive as well? :D I think life has consumed us both.)
