Special thread for the Halloween Apple Bobbing game. Only Frox's character Mai may enter. Frox chose number 19 which was a trick apple.

Time - Midnight

The graveyard shift at the Second Division's hospital was going quite smoothly for the majority of people working it. Mostly patients had to be checked on and charts filled. There were a few more intense things going on like enemas, but that was to be expected in such a setting. What was not to be expected however, was a rat the size of a cat prowling through the halls. Its fur was dark black though it seemed to shimmer with an almost purple hue as it passed through the well lit corridors and its eyes were of an emerald shade. It was certainly an unusual looking rodent, but despite that and the number of people it passed, no one seemed to notice it.

Mai stalked about the corridors, sweeping through as though a spectral being herself; the long, unbound pale hair wafting about her person giving her the appearance of such a fictional being. A stack of charts weighed her arms down, the culmination of the last hour or so of menial tasks, as she made to return the stacks to their proper homes. She had placed the final stack on the desk of the signing officer, glanced about his office in mild annoyance - it was in the throes of a chaotic fit, and turned to leave. As she made her way back to her station, she passed the rodent, initially unaware of it as she strode by; her steps slowed a few moments later before pausing altogether as she turned to look over her shoulder. She had seen something, maybe?

The rodent made its way to the place Mai had last been. Yes, the very place where she had just left the neatly stacked charts. The one in charge of filing them away for future uses had yet to take care of them all though one was in the process of being checked, and thus with their back turned, they never saw the rat majestically ascend to the counter where it oh so noisily shoved the remaining charts (and a few glass vials of medicine to be stored) to the floor and leaped back down after them, scattering them further and adding to the din as the slips of paper were tossed back into the air by large clawed feet that also sent pieces of shattered glass careening into the walls.

Upon seeing nothing behind her, Mai internally shrugged and continued on her way. Her pace was quicker than normal, as her workload never ceased, and she had many more errands to run before she had a chance to go back and work on that disaster called an office. She was just about round a corner when the inevitable occurred:

Rodents and glass just don't mix well.

The sound of shattering glass drew her attention like a moth to a flame; her first thought was one of panic - did she really place a stack of charts that close to a set of vials? did she not even see them? She turned on her heel and marched, trying desperately to not break into a run; the fact that it was glass shattering, however, soon had her jogging down the corridor to find the source of the sound. Hair not so gently swaying behind her, she came to an abrupt halt in the door frame, peeking her head inside to find the chaos. Mai remained silent, though the expression in her eyes was a combination of horror (at the mess) and desperation (also at the mess).

The rodent seemed content with the state of the floor now and it trundled away, leaving the only the signing officer and soon enough, Mai, at the scene. As it was the papers she had stacked, naturally, she was the accused and threats of docked pay were made in regards to replacing the shattered vials before the young maiden was shooed away.

Mai's 'trick' is lost money! 20 Gold will be deducted from your profile.


You may post your exit and I will allot RP and subtract the gold.

Before she could utter her small cry of horror, both at the accusation or the mess in general, the youngest Tanaka was shooed away like a curious puppy, leaving her words of protest to fall silently off her lips. From there, it was an escort to the officer in charge of ordering supplies, then paperwork to be filled out - while there wasn't a pair of muscled brutes glued to either elbow staring her down each time made a stroke with the quill, it certainly felt that way - in haste, forcing her to submit a subpar report (the section where she could have defended herself was conveniently blocked off).

Oh, if she wasn't so thick headed and didn't stalk through the cubicles that one day while looking for her father's record, she wouldn't be in this mess! Emotionally wiped out from keeping things inside her head, like what she may have seen, Mai slumped out, coin purse certainly lighter than it should have been. Time to ask father for another allowance.
