After Alice left the room, Grimnír had a curious idea. He patiently meditated on the word, "Jörmungandr". Perhaps he could learn a new spell. Maybe he could even inscribe it on a spell card. But after ten minutes of concentrating, he gave up.

He can't remember much from the dream, and he has other things to worry about right now.

...

They had breakfast with both Dr. Yagokoro and Reisen. Their conversation consisted of mostly a briefing on a plan that the Lunarian doctor had formulated. She explained that she would need more data to analyze Marisa's injury. Grimnír mostly stayed silent as Alice spoke with her about some technical magic terms that he wasn't familiar with.

"So basically, you need to collect some readings from the source of the injury?" asks Alice.

"That is correct," replies Dr. Yagokoro. "I'm confident that we can find a cure if we closely analyze the actual weapon that did this kind of damage."

The Lunarian doctor nods to herself before she continues.

"Of course, taking that lance from that crazed human in the forest might be too dangerous. I took some time to prepare an alternative."

Reisen brings out something from under the table. It seems to be a long, rifle-like device. Somehow, it reminds him of something from his childhood (Was it a laser blaster?).

"I already instructed Reisen on how to use this. She simply needs to keep this device focused at the target for about 2 minutes to complete the reading. I'm confident that she can handle the task."

"So we can simply sneak up on the human and use this on him?" asks Alice.

Dr. Yagokoro shakes her head.

"The range of the device is pretty short. You two will have to keep the human occupied until Reisen completes her reading."

Grimnír sighs. This sounds really dangerous.

"Of course, I can try to find another way," the lunarian doctor says. "But I will need a few more days. I can't guarantee that Marisa will -"

"We'll do it," says Marisa suddenly. "She would have done the same for us."

A solemn moment of silence passes before the doctor speaks again.

"I'll leave it to you three, then," Dr. Yagokoro says. "However, I do have something that might be of interest to our human friend here."

She pulls out a large syringe filled with a luminescent blue substance.

"This will temporarily enhance his abilities," she explains. "However, I can't guarantee that it won't have a few minor side-effects."

Grimnír pauses to think. She is the best known drug developer in Gensokyo, but the way she said that last part troubles him. Alice seems a little concerned, but she says nothing. Reisen, on the other hand, seems to be concentrating on the floor as she avoids his gaze.

[ ] Have her administer the drug now. You need all the help you can get.
[ ] Take the syringe with you. You might need it later.
[ ] Refuse the drug. You don't need it.
[ ] Custom

Optional (up to two):
