Steven, starting to being bored after what happened in Mary's room, decide to go back to see what the other are doing with Vincent. He walk down the corridor and take a look inside the room. He enter but stay behind a moment, until Vincent take a look at him. "Hey, you're all right?"
 

Vincent's response had calmed Roger's nerves. With an attitude like that it didn't look like any serious damage had been done.

Steven having just walked passed Roger into the room, and Dunstand sure to be along in a moment following his friend, Roger decided to make his stay short.

"Excuse me doctor, could I speak with you for a moment? Just take a sec."

He knew he had no authority in this hospital, but Roger was intrested... well curious about any bloodwork that might indicate a hallucinogen. At least that would explain part of their experiences. And hopefully a sample of the goo.

The doctor waves the newcomers in as he stares down at his chart. At Vincent's response to his query about suicide the doctor smiles, "Well that's a good way to look at it."

Looking again at his chart the doctor adds, "Your preliminary bloodwork came back fine. I've ordered a full blood chem which will take a few days to complete, but if you feel well enough to leave, we won't keep you. If there are any other questions?" the doctor asks, regarding Roger as he speaks up.
 

"Well, first i ought to apologize to Vincent, that I was unable to prevent his fall. I was up on the scaffolding with him and lost my balance as well."

Then, returning to the doctor:

"But what I meant to talk with you about, and I didn't want to bother everyone, but when he came here he was covered in an unusual substance. You wouldn't have had it sent for analysis as well? I was going to collect some myself, but Vincent's well-being came first.", he said eagerly.

If this was something paranormal, it was an opportunity of a lifetime. True, Roger had seen his share of unexplainable cases, but he'd actually witnessed this one. He wanted something tangible to put in his file. The audio tape had proved less than satisfying in that regard.

Of course it would probably be better for the theater if that substance mysteriously disappeared, both from the hospital and from the theater's attic. Even if it wasn't a haunting, he couldn't imagine a substance like that being present in their attic bringing any positive reviews.

The doctor looks puzzled as Roger mentions the goo. He double checks his chart, flipping through the numerous pages attached to it before looking back up at Roger. "What substance?" he asks, looking back and forth between him and Vincent. "There was nothing covering him when he arrived here at the hospital."
 


"I guess i'll need to go back to the theater and figure out how to collect some. Taking more precautions this time of course." he said, trying to reassure himself.

He looked at his watch, and realized it was getting late. "6:30... Anyone feel like getting dinner?"
 


Out in the waiting room, Pete presses his back flat against the wall and rubs eyes.

I'm just tired, he figures. Over-tired and seeing things..

Somewhat reassured, he gulps down the rest of his too-hot coffee and moves down the hall toward Vincent's room.

I need to start going to bed earlier...
