Re: The Nightmare's Beginning (T-A-B, Gargantua, Pheonix)
"Ah... Good, at least it's nothing dangerous."
Alice stops briefly to take the vial and read the paper before grabbing Penny under an arm, and lifting her to her feet. "I'm going to take you to a corner, okay?" she says, lifting her from behind keeping her voice low and speaking close to her ear. "You really should find a more private place when you do this sort of thing, Miss Penny," she continues, keeping a third part, unless you were hoping someone came in, hmm? to herself.
Once Penny is settled in a more isolated spot, she calls in the female doctor. "Madam Doctor, there has been an, ah, accident," she begins. "Miss Penny seems to have ingested a heavy dose of an aphrodisiac. The effect will last some time yet, and any men affected by it will be... "indisposed" along with Miss Penny.
"I don't think other women will be affected by it - unless you can confirm otherwise? - but I don't wish to move her, since there are so many men outside, and nowhere else private in the immediate vicinity that I saw. You could wrap her in one of those sheets, I suppose... but anyway, I'd suggest quarantining the tent for women only until the drug wears off - probably by noon, at the latest. I don't know if Mister Grusk is immune to this stuff, but it would be good to replace him with another woman as well.
"At any rate, I just needed some medical supplies. If you'll excuse me, I need to pack a few kits for my little gathering, and then we'll be off."
