I must have some medical solutions in my flat. The pain can also be soothed with a bit of moonlacing, if you need something more immediate.

[immature]

you got to be kidding
moonlacing helps take away pain too??

[ringlette]

Yes! It doesn't heal wounds, but it can take the pain away for a while.

[immature]

damn thats pretty cool
guess i really should start looking harder for a partner huh
lol

[ringlette]

I could bring you the medicine and also give you a head massage, if you don't mind.

[immature]

[oh]

i mean
i wouldnt say no

[ringlette]

Excellent! Please direct me to your apartment, and I will be there as soon as possible.

[immature]

sure
thanks

[insert a little map and a room number here]

[ringlette]

[ And there's a doorbell ringing a while later, Marie holding a small bag with the painkillers and waving pleasantly at Osomatsu when they're face to face. ]

Bonjour, dear Osomatsu! The nurse has arrived!

[ Cloud joked about her being one... and it kind of stuck with her. ]

[immature]

[Osomatsu's honestly been trying to calm down. instead of worrying about his antlers, now he's worried about Marie coming to his apartment and massaging his head! aaaaa

she's so cute. seriously. when he answers the door and sees her, it gives him warm fuzzy feelings all over]

H-hey! Thanks for coming...

[he steps aside to let her in. he doesn't look too different, aside from the small antlers. he's also growing out longer ears, and probably a tail? yeah, a tail is growing, and he's got brown and red freckles all over. he certainly looks a lot different this Iris cycle than the last one, but at least he's not freaking out about it]

[ un. goldilocks ]

That's pretty intense. Can I see?

[immature]

[he's a little embarrassed, but he knows he shouldn't be. after all, this happens to everyone here, right?

Osomatsu switches over to his camera, and there he is. the antlers aren't big at all, but you can clearly see them poking out of his hair. he's also got elongated deerlike ears]

It's definitely intense! My whole head is throbbing.

[ringlette]

[ Upon a closer look, Marie's hair looks like its strands have... a life of their own, having become tentacles as it usually happens in her own Iris transformation. However, she looks no different otherwise, smiling friendly at Osomatsu when he lets her in.

She takes note of his appearance, watching those antlers closely, then motioning towards the couch. ]

Why don't we take care of your headache right away? The sooner, the better.

[tropism]

... did it just pop out of your head rapidly? Or did it grow inch by inch?

Your ears are so soft and fuzzy, though. They're really cute.

I can offer to heal you if you want the antlers off so badly, but it's going to be painful. [ wait ] Otherwise I've got aspirins.

[immature]

[whoa there’s so much to unpack here. his fuzzy ears are cute? well, yeah, Osomatsu supposes they are, because he thinks he’s pretty cute, but he still blushes from the compliment, waving his hands]

I-I don’t need them to come off, really! [please don’t yank out his antlers. that sounds awful] They just started growing slowly in the night. Inch by inch.

[immature]

[he stares at the tentacle hair before she speaks]

O-oh, yeah! Come on in.

[he heads over to the couch]

[tropism]

[ well he was thinking more like sawing them off with the size, but fair point. ]

That's straight out of a horror movie.

You can make a daily series out of it - "My Life as Bambi", or something.

[immature]

[ah, that makes him laugh]

I bet some people would watch it.

[ringlette]

[ Before they get to sit down, she suddenly stops and holds her free hand up. ]

Oh, right! Do you have water with you? The medicine i brought with me works like an aspirin, so water is necessary.

[immature]

I can get it.

[he changes direction, now moving to the kitchen to get a glass. should have anticipated that, but his head hurts so he's not thinking clearly.

he returns to her shortly with his glass]

[tropism]

I bet.

Any other changes with you? Supernatural abilities? Newfound riches and fame?

[immature]

[well, there are other things, but Osomatsu doesn't know how detailed he should go, especially not on the network. he rubs the back of his neck, still on video]

N-nothing like that. Ha, I wish, though...

[ringlette]

[ She patiently waits, sitting on the couch. It might have been best to go get the water herself, since Osomatsu looked a bit sick indeed, but she thinks no longer of it when she watches the boy return without incidents. Marie opens the medicine package, takes one soluble tablet out, and drops it into the glass, watching it fizzle and melt inside the water. ]

There! Drink it whole once it's ready.

[immature]

[oh, it's that kind of medicine. this'll probably taste gross, but getting a massage from Marie makes it all worth it.

Osomatsu gulps, then brings the glass to his lips. he takes several swigs, trying not to gag in between. bleh. soon, he's all done]

[ringlette]

[ Good boy! Marie watches him drink the medicine down, stifling a giggle when he's clearly having a hard time with it, and then reaching out to pet his head once he's done, mindful of his antlers. ]

Good job! It should settle in within the next few minutes, but I can help speed the process.

[ She moves her hand, pressing her fingertips down on his scalp in a slow motion before pulling away. ]

Oh, but I need to be behind you in order for that to be effective. Can you turn around for me?
