[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3551524, member: 4936"] [b]Entre'Acte 2[/b] Meredith went to bed early, but couldn't sleep. Her slashed arm was hot. The rest of her was cold. Well, not cold exactly...but kind of shivery and goosebumpy. Feverish. Maybe some water... The light in the hall outside seemed too bright at first, wringing a wince out of her. In the middle of the corridor were a couple of vending machines, a drinking fountain, and some restrooms. Meri paused, then went to the drink machine. It'd be nice to have a bottle of water she could take back with her. Something was wrong though. It took her a second to realize it as she scanned the drink names on the bottles. Meri blinked, then looked again. No [i]way.[/i] She'd left her glasses on the little table beside her bed. It hadn't seemed important, since at first she was just going to the fountain. But she realized she could -see-. The words stood out clearly. Not a trace of bluriring or smearing. For a moment, she laid her fingers on the glass, then hurried towards the elevator, leaving only smudges behind. ---- "There's nothing wrong with you." It was late. The infirmary had a night shift doctor on duty, and he sounded a little tired. "But my eyes," Meredith complained again, "It just happened out of the blue. I went to bed with everything fuzzy, and woke up with everything crystal clear." "Hmph," the doctor mused. "Any other symptoms?" "No...at least I don't think so." He shuffled some papers in front of him. "Now...I see you just returned from a field assignment..." "Yes..." "...in which you were exposed to some magical forces. Including a slash from an enchanted sword, yes?" Meredith nodded. "Well...yes." Then she perked up. "That could be another symptom! The arm that got hurt...it feels like it's burning." She paused then added, "And it's spread a little, down my side." The doctor rubbed his forehead. "I'll check your arm...make sure there's no lasting curses or damage from the sword. But as for your eyes...I've been here for awhile now. It's not actually that unusual for an agent to experience certain...lasting effects, from long term exposure to...let's say 'otherworldly forces." He yawned. "Aside from the burning, there's no negative effects?" "No," Meri admitted. It was freaky as hell, but she couldn't pretend to MISS those glasses. "Right then. Now roll up your sleeve and we'll take a look at that wound of yours..." --- (still more coming!) [/QUOTE]
