Meia

[Bean Bandit]

As soon as Meia hit the button, a high pitched young girl's voice sounded from the panel.

"Meia? Where are you? The doctor wants to get your flight physical done. You said it'd be okay to wake you up an hour ago!"

[Rezantis]

...someone up there really has it in for me.  That sounded like Paiwei... I think that removes any doubts.

A grimace. "Sorry.  I'll be there soon."

Well, what else could be said?

[Bean Bandit]

Paiwei sounded vaguely smug, even though nothing she said could be construed that way.

"Right. We'll be waiting for you!" There was something else said, to faint to make out, followed by Paiwei saying "Ribbit!", and then the channel went dead, leaving Meia's quarters silent once again.

[Rezantis]

Rez tapped the 'disconnect' button once, to make sure the line was actually dead.

A physical?  Shit... at least I'm not going to fail it...

A pause as another thought occured.

"Wait... I'm not wearing my glasses.  I can actually see?"

There was a blink.

"I don't that was worth this.  Ugh.  Dammit, I even sound like her..."

Walking over to the wardrobe, 'she' began poking through it again.

"Well, Meia always seemed to wear her flightsuit everywhere... aaagh.  I'm going to murder someone if I find out who's responsible for this..."

[Bean Bandit]

Fontunately, the flightsuit was on the first hanger, displayed more prominently than the other clothes, which we pushed toward the back.

Upon further examination, the closet contained three copies of the same flightsuit, no doubt intended as spares...

[Rezantis]

The closest flightsuit was pulled out of the closet and fixed with a baleful glare.

Someone is going to die for this...

There was a muttered swearword.

There was underwear in here somewhere, to... ah.

The articles in question received a baleful glare of their own.

This.  Is.  Going.  To.  Suck.

So saying, 'Meia' went to get dressed, muttering invectives...

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Timeskip! Woo hoo!

IC:
An hour later, Meia sat on an examination table in a thin examination gown with a pulsemeter connected to her chest as Duero examined the readouts, and a young girl with two ponytails wearing a dark nurse's uniform stood nearby, looking miffed.

After a long moment, Duero turned away from the machine, and frowning marginally, turned to Meia.
"Your blood pressure is elevated, Meia." he said calmly, looking at her with the one eye not covered by his long brown hair. "Are you still having difficulty with the Van-Type simulators?"

Paiwei looked over at Meia curiously on hearing this.

[Rezantis]

A scowl crossed her face.  "Stressful morning."

[Bean Bandit]

Duero nodded. "I see." He watched her silently for a moment, then nodded. "You need to relax. Your current stress level could endanger you in combat."

Paiwei looked over at Meia. "You haven't been in the jacuzzi in a while..."

[Rezantis]

An almost imperceptible nod at Duero's words, then an equally subtle twitch at Pai's.  

"I've been busy."

Wrong answer.  Dammit!

[Bean Bandit]

Paiwei nodded sharply, then grinned, in a faintly sneaky way.

"It's empty right now...Well, except for Jura. I'll go get it ready for you."

Duero watched Meia calmly, saying nothing.

[Rezantis]

'Meia' opened her mouth to say something, then closed it again, returning Duero's gaze impassively as her mind ran through possibilities.

"Alright."

[Bean Bandit]

As Paiwei rushed off to prepare things (Evidently she'd done this for Meia before), Duero nodded.

"It's for the best. It seems to work quite well on the female crew. Have you been having the...'other' trouble, lately as well?"

[Rezantis]

After Paiwei had left, a few seconds passed before the blue-haired one turned back to the doctor, ignoring his previous question.

"I'm not Meia."

[Bean Bandit]

Duero was apparently unflappable. He looked at Meia carefully.

"Hmm. Your exam results seem to indicate otherwise..." He noted.
