Here we go, my commitment for the year 2011. Let's hope this sticks.
Thank you, Ropy for being my bouncing board. Also, thank you for the chapter's title.

Chapter 1: Morning Rush
Odd. Damned door was locked.
*Tap tap tap*
“Tan!” Aya whispered, in deference to the early hour. She jiggled the doorknob again and tapped urgently on the door. “Tan, wake up!” she hissed louder.
Aya pulled her phone out and tried calling Miki again in desperate futility, knowing that her best friend slept like a dead log.
“Oh, come on,” she muttered to herself “I swear I will kill…”
Aya looked up at the sound of soft footfall to see Goto Maki, freshly showered, hair tied up into a messy ponytail, striding purposefully to the lift lobby from the opposite end of the hallway.
Maki’s steps faltered slightly when she spotted her rival, eyeing Aya warily as she pressed the lift button.
The lift chimed and the doors slid open, jolting them both to action. Maki rushed into the lift, punching the ‘close’ button repeatedly. Aya pounded on Miki’s door, not caring about being quiet anymore. She heard Maki chortling as the lift doors closed.
“God… dammit!” she slapped the door in frustration. “Mikitty!!”
The door opposite Miki’s room flew open, a bleary-eyed Masae stumbling out into the corridor “Shitfire, Matsuura, it’s fucking 4:00 am! Some of us just got into bed.”
“Fuck!” Aya bolted past the irate Masae, and made a beeline for the emergency fire escape. She flew down the stairs, three steps at a time, almost slipping and braining herself on the railing.
Cool morning air hit her as she burst out the front doors. She spotted Maki already on the far side of the square yard, jogging leisurely towards the main building.
“Ha!”
-----
It was a nice morning, Maki noted, as she kept up a nice even pace. She’d taken to running as a way to keep fit, loving the quiet moments it afforded her. Sometimes, Yossi would join her, possibly the only person who could keep up with her. ‘That’s nice,’ she thought absently, ‘I hardly ever get to see her anymore.’
The crunching of wheels against concrete gave her just enough warning to turn and diveroll out of the way of the oncoming bicycle. Matsuura Aya, like a demon possessed, pedaled furiously past her and ramped up the wide staircase leading to the side doors of the main building. She jammed on the brakes and skidded sideways, jumping off at the last moment to leap for the door.
“Hah!”
“’Ha’ janeyo!” Maki yelled, as she rushed up the stairs, hot on Aya’s trail.
The yard was still again, save for two figures, sprawled on a bench near the door. Kago snapped the camcorder screen closed and Tsuji stretched, yawning widely. They leaned against each other as they entered the building in companionable silence.
-----
Aya and Maki moved like wolves on the hunt down the corridors to the main staff room, silent lethal alpha predators who were not above shoving and clothes-pulling.
The first thing the frazzled duo noticed when they managed to squeeze in through the doorway at the same time, two abreast, was Ishikawa Rika on the couch, sipping on a cup of whatever like the goddamn queen of England, not a hair out of place. She eyed them with amusement and shrugged delicately.
They scrambled to the notice board, straining to read the notice they’d been waiting for.
“Uso!”
“Matta?!”
“Nani?” Kago stuck her head in between Aya and Maki’s, reading the notice. The memo was typewritten, save for the blank which was filled with Nakazawa-san’s unmistakable scrawl.
NOTICE
The Chief Resident position announcement will be deferred until whenever the hell I feel like it, pending further administrative deliberation.
NAKAZAWA Yuuko,
Chief of Staff
Asa University Hospital
Tsuji yawned loudly, settled her head in Rika’s lap and promptly went to sleep.

OH MY GAH!!!
If it's grac, I'm following. 100%.
So so so happy you decided to put up a story. Will read it and edit this post with a proper response soon enough, but for now, just SO excited!
:cow: :cow: :cow:
Yay! Thank you so much for this; I've kind of skimmed through it already and indeed it looks promising (and hella funny xD). Good luck with writing, buddy. Ropy helping you out too? :shocked:
Kyyaaaa, happy~! :nya:
:heart:
-
Oh My Gah
This is quite an interesting thing especially Ayaya, great job
-
WHAT the HELL just happened!? :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Whoa! I don't know what just happened either! :lol: But it's totally interesting! :w00t: I kept on thinking about GAM romance at the beginning. :D
Hooked! :cow:
-
Hmm interesting start...
I'm not sure what got into Aya but you got my attention. Plus Maki!!!
-
Thanks for reading, guys. Well- I guess if I gotta explain it, means I didn't do a good enough job putting it together :nervous Okay, okay, will keep at it til something gets going- lemme know if I miss something out, or if things get too technical. :P I figure, let's get an ambitious All Star Hello Pro story up and figure out how to do it as I go.

Chapter 2: Morning After
Asa University Hospital boasts a Staff Cafeteria with the best cuisine this side of Japan’s institutionalised dining services. It hosts the crème de la crème of medical practitioners, especially it’s internationally-renown surgical department and is the hub of the teaching hospital.
And so that morning, the senior surgical residents’ table, previously known as the junior residents’ table, was abuzz with talk relating to the announcement delay.
“I can’t believe they’ve postponed again!” Maki complained loudly.
“I can’t believe that you,” Aya smacked Miki on the arm “Bet.” Smack. “Against.” Smack. “Me!” Smack. “And purposely delayed me just to win.” Smack. “We were supposed to go together!”
“I told you, I crashed in the on-call room because my crit care patient coded twice last night.” Miki defended herself against Aya’s surprisingly stinging blows. “And, repaying my study loan is infinitely more important than loyalty. Geez, you're such a competitive overachiever.”
At the nurses’ table, Shibata listened in to the ruckus and turned to her best friend, “What bet?”
“Who’d get to read the announcement first. As though rushing to read it first changes the name on the notice.” Rika explained, with a disdainful sniff.
“Oh sure,” Miki piped up, “Then why were you first to reach the staff room, Ishikawa-san?”
“It’s the distinction of behaving like a gracious winner or a poised loser.”
“And smug condescension or cool indifference.” Aya added.
Maki nodded vigorously, “It’s extremely important. Nobody knows why it’s so important, though.”
“That’s ‘cause its tradition.” Tsuji piped up. “I heard that during Yaguttsuan’s time, she installed latch bolts on the dorm doors in the middle of the night. The only reason why she lost was because Sayaka-san had camped out in the staff room overnight.”
“Why were you and Aibon there this morning, Non?” Rika asked.
“Your trusty resident bookie has to record the outcome. I gotta admit though, Rika-chan, if you weren’t making so much noise blowdrying, we’d have slept through your fabulous video finish at 3:30am.”
“There’s video?” Miki brightened up visibly.
"It's hilarious- you gotta see this!"
At the far end of the cafeteria, Psych Attending Yasuda Kei and Chief of Surgery Iida Kaori sat at a lone table set up a respectful distance from the main dining area.
“Your residents seem really lively today, Kaorin.”
“Mm, ne?” Kaori cut into her omelette ‘with surgical precision’, her mind supplied cleverly. To her credit, she tries not to inflict her puns on her colleagues too early in the morning.
“I wonder what Yuu-chan’s doing, postponing the Chief Resident announcement like that, time after time.”
“I think she just likes to see the scramble. A little competition is good for everyone. I remember our batch was made to audition for the post. We were literally grovelling on our hands and knees, scrubbing corridors. It’s practically tradition.”
They finished the last of their coffee and got up to clear the table. “Well, its off to the Cages for me. Have fun at staff meeting later, Kaorin.”
A sudden yell of laughter from the senior residents’ tables startled them and Iida raised her voice to carry across the din, “Hora, omae-tachi! I better not reach the meeting room before you do!”
Everyone scrambled to finish their food and ran out ahead of their scary senior attending.
-----
Staff meeting was a zoo that morning, and Iida could barely control her surgical residents.
“Alla you, shut up!” Nakazawa yelled, “One more complaint out of any of you, I swear I’ll name Kago-chan Chief Resident.”
“Hmnh?” Kago looked up from her breakfast burrito, dropping bits of masticated meat and dough onto the table. Various noises of discontent and murmuring filled the room.
“And why not?" The Chief responded with a pointed glare at the dissenters. "She’s completed her residency in Internal Medicine, while some of you are hardly halfway through.”
“That’s ‘cause she chose a speciality with the shortest residency duration,” Maki muttered. Kago grinned widely, flashing a victory sign at the room.
“And of course,” Nakazawa’s voice rose, as she looked pointedly at Tsuji, Miki and Yossi. “Those of you seniors who have been sitting on declaring a surgical sub-specialty.”
Tsuji blinked. Yossi had the good grace to look embarassed, while Miki just glared at whoever was looking at her.
“Well, last order of business- the fresh meat and greet. Dr. Abe?” Kaori continued quickly.
Nacchi cringed at the pun and glanced disapprovingly at Iida, who looked pleased with herself, “The welcome reception for the new interns who’ve been selected for our prestigious surgical residency program. They’ll be placed under the care of the following senior residents. If your name is called, please be at the Residence community hall at 7:00pm sharp: Dr. Maki Goto, Dr. Ishikawa Rika, Dr. Yoshizawa Hitomi, Dr. Matsuura Aya and Dr. Fujimoto Miki.”
“For those whose names were called,” Nakazawa interjected, “It’s not just a coincidence you were a nominated candidate for the position of Chief Resident. Your ability to produce doctors out of medical students will be part of the selection criteria.”
“Everyone else is welcome to join the gathering after your respective shifts,” Nacchi finished.
Kaori nodded, “Okay, that’s it. Back to work everyone.”
“And don’t kill anyone today.” Nakazawa added, as they shuffled out of the room.
-----
Rika fidgeted nervously in the opulent waiting rooms of the Administrative offices, waiting for her appointment with Chief Nakazawa. Murata Megumi from Plastics walked out of the room and gave her a smile and wink, jerking her thumb to indicate that it was her turn next.
“Ojamashimasu.” Rika rapped on the door twice and peered in to see Nakazawa squinting through her reading glasses at some administrative reports.
Yuuko waved Rika over, “Siddown. Do you want some tea?”
“No, thank you,” the resident replied politely. She saw her letter, opened on the Chief’s desk and felt her heart beat double-time.
“How long more before you finish your applied residency?”
“One more year, this is my last rotation.”
Nakazawa flipped through the file containing Rika’s records, “You scored highest on the shelf tests for neuro last year, Rika-chan, beating Ayaya.”
Rika kept silent, waiting for the Chief to continue.
“Why do you want to change specialties suddenly? And pediatric medicine of all things?”
“I really enjoyed my pediatrics rotation- it was a good learning experience.”
“Damn that resident-stealing Heike.”
“It’s not Michiyo-san’s fault.” Rika quickly intervened on behalf of the Chief of Pediatrics. “I just like working with children.”
Nakazawa regarded Rika seriously, “Let me think about it and discuss this with your seniors. You show great aptitude for surgery and there isn’t any good reason to allow you to drop out of the surgical program.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me yet. You may just live to regret your request.” Nakazawa gestured for Rika to leave, a thoughtful look on her face.
Rika smiled at her boss’ melodramatism, “See you at the reception tonight, Chief.”
-----
Did you know, that up to the mid-20th century, some medical and surgical residency programs had its residents living in hospital-based quarters? This was one of the ways I could get most of 'em living together, short of some school-drama (but that's really reaching, huh?)
-
Ah, I see. I was like, why the hell are crazy idols running each other down. Now I know it crazy DOCTORS running each other down!
...
...
...
Ergh *shudders* The H!P girls as doctors. The crazy H!P girls as crazy doctors.
:w00t: XD :lol:
“And, repaying my study loan is infinitely more important than loyalty. Geez, you're such a competitive overachiever.”
:lol: :lol: Miki.
Kaori cut into her omelette ‘with surgical precision’, her mind supplied cleverly. To her credit, she tries not to inflict her puns on her colleagues too early in the morning.
:lol: :lol: Kaori.
I just love how Nakazawa gives them a hard time, too. Man I miss old H!P.
-
Rika as a pediatric doctor seems to be a good idea for her if she was interested and them becoming doctors was an awesome idea
-
OMOGOSH IT'S HERE. HERE HERE HERE. AND THERE ARE TWO CHAPTERS ALREADY.
Why this always happen when I'm not around? WHY!? :panic:
Well, it doesn¡t matter, is awesome anyway XD
:cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow:
I have to do A LOT of catching up thanks to my internet, who hates me and decided to rebel against me on holidays sdknfskjfdnsafdk :angry:, but I just saw this and got too excited to put into words. I'll put a proper comment later (I want to catch up first and then bring all my fangirling here :yossi: ) , but I needed to tell you right here right now that I'm dying from happiness :mon angel:
AND THANK YOU GRAC :wub:
I'll be back!
*goes to catch up with everything*
-
your cool, i love it, i really like the old generations compared to the current one.... :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:
because there is Mikitty and Ayaya :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
A medical saga written with the four Alpha Queens of H!P (Miki, Aya, Maki, and Rika) sure to provide plenty of drama....... Grac-san, please continue! :P2
-
A medical drama, cool idead Gracula, I am liking the start to this fic and am hoping for more.....
-
Aaaaaaaaaaaand here I am again! :cow:
I was in low spirits today. Ai-chan's graduation announcement let me feeling like :bleed eyes: But I found myself thinking: "Gosh, I'm glad to have still grac's fic to read, that surely will cheer me up a little". Because your writings always manage to make me laugh, even if is a little. And I'm really grateful for that :heart: :cry:
First of all thank you again. I'm a very happy bouncing board. And you even used the title, whoa, whoa *bounces happily everywhere* . And talking about titles, I like very much how the two first titles are "Morning Something". It feels a little strange saying that if I think I suggested one title but anyway XD It's a nice touch, the Morning thing in the two chapters.
I absolutely love H!P Medical Dramaland :heart: Since you talked about it, I have been eager to read the whole thing. And here it is at least, with two chapters out already! Really, I was so excited when I saw the topic. That's why I left that hype message up there without reading the whole thing (I was reserving it for later and I'm happy I did ). I already loved it, but with each chapter I read, I love it more and more.This fic went straight to my favourites of all times. The fact someone decided to use such a huge cast for a fic to interact like this is awesome enough. But the fact it was you brings the awesomeness to a brand new level, knowing your writing style. It's gonna be epic, I know it. So I hope I can accompany you in your commitment for this year.
So yeah, summarizing, I love you, I love your writing and I love this idea :heart: But you already knew that, as always. So let's move on with the proper commenting ~ XD
Maybe I'm going to say again some things I told you earlier in the first chapter but please endure it?
Chapter 1: Morning Rush
I love not knowing what the hell is going on until you read the final note and then all clicks in a hilarous way :lol: The whole situation situation who leads to that is funny as hell. Let's fangirl-check:
- Ayaya pounding Miki's door like crazy and Maki's hitting with same vigor the elevator button, while exchanging one of those glances which seems like they could start a fire or something, awesome. Members acting like mad for no coherent reason (at first, at least) was son confusingly awesome at that point XD And by the way I thank you for the mental image of "Goto Maki, freshly showered, hair tied up into a messy ponytail, striding purposefully to the lift lobby". I don't know if I ever said it, but for me, messy ponytail = :wub: . And if it's Maki who has it, even better <3
- Masae appearing out of nowhere (more like her room) and telling Aya to shut up, in such a wonderful way, awesome again. I love Masae, a lot. I love Melon Kinenbi girls in general, but specially Masae. I wasn't expecting her , and definetely not at the beggining, so when she popped up just like that, you made me love all this a little more :heart:
- Maki thinking about Yossie. NICE. And interesting. Very interesting... *already speculating just because I love speculating about insignificant details* . Why Yossie doesn't jog anymore? Schedule problems? Or anything else? I wonder if those two are the only ones who likes to run around. And I'm sure Eririn could keep with her running! She is a fast turtle after all, even if I'm not so sure of her stamina... We have to leave alone the fact Kame wouldn't wake up only to be running around, of course.She's such a sleepy head XD And whoops, I got sidetracked.
- Ayaya VS Maki, Round 2, awesomeness level increasing. One of my favourites part of the chapter XD. I don't think I have to explain why. I laughed so much, specially at this:
Matsuura Aya, like a demon possessed, pedaled furiously past her and ramped up the wide staircase leading to the side doors of the main building. She jammed on the brakes and skidded sideways, jumping off at the last moment to leap for the door.
Awesome Ayaya is awesome. Competitiveness is such a wonderful thing, isn't it? :lol: At least as long it keeps bringing us situations like those. And I have the feeling that is exactly what is going to happen~
- Random Tsuji-Kago in the campus picked up my interest too.Those two are so evil and cute at the same time :heart: Luckily we had that explained at second chapter... and they didn't dissapoint me at all XD
- And this part, who needs the quote because it was the epic win of the chapter (along with Nakazawa's notice XD ):
Ishikawa Rika on the couch, sipping on a cup of whatever like the goddamn queen of England, not a hair out of place. She eyed them with amusement and shrugged delicately.
That's my Rika-chan ~ :otomerika: Maybe I'm to biased towards her, but really, after all the epic Aya-Maki confrontation to be first, what they saw when they enter is that :rofl: A really awesome mental image :rofl:
- And finally, the notice, full of epic win. When we finally realize and are aware of where are all the fun is (and will be) taking place,all in a very Nakazawa-ish way. This woman will never cease to amaze me with the awesomeness of her personality :heart: I think I told you, but you always make me love even more all the characters. It's your fault Nakazawa grow on me even more lately, you know XD And this, with the plus of a cute sleeping Nono, was withouth doubt the perfect way to end this chapter <3
Chapter 2: Morning After
More characters and more information here! A lot more :heart: I loved that! A lot of my random question got answered (like what the hell were doing Kago and Tsuji in last chapter with the camera), and a lot more of them just appeared XD
Being in that cafeteria with everyone in must be a crazy experiencie, knowing what kind of persons are in it XD Just the senior surgical resident team where this time, along with some nurses, Kei and Kaorin, but they were being civiliced at least) and made such a racket :lol: I already adore SS team sorry, but write the full name everytime is a pain lol and their interactions. And now is when I have a lot of problems pointing out all the awesome things, because the whole conversation was awesome.
- Ayaya hitting on? lol Mikitty, who is being all awesome for betting against her friend :rofl: Seems like she doesn't buy your excuses Miki-tan ~
And, repaying my study loan is infinitely more important than loyalty
And yes, that's the Mikitty I love so much. I can imagine perfectly her face when she said that :lol:
- Shibata! More Melon-love! :heart: :heart: So she is a nurse? I wonder how many of them are nurses. Melon member or not, I mean. When I think in nurses I think in pink outfits. And when I think in pink I think about Sayu :lol: Usa-chan peacee ~
“Oh sure,” Miki piped up, “Then why were you first to reach the staff room, Ishikawa-san?”
“It’s the distinction of behaving like a gracious winner or a poised loser.”
“And smug condescension or cool indifference.” Aya added.
Maki nodded vigorously, “It’s extremely important. Nobody knows why it’s so important, though.”
- THIS ^ :rofl:
Stupid traditions like that are important. I think I know who started with all that crazy stuff :rofl: And I said already I love how each one of those sentences? So grac-like, using exactly the right words to make it awesome and hilarous :heart:
And quoted apart just because it worths it, but still part of the same conversation, the first epic win in the chapter
“That’s ‘cause its tradition.” Tsuji piped up. “I heard that during Yaguttsuan’s time, she installed latch bolts on the dorm doors in the middle of the night. The only reason why she lost was because Sayaka-san had camped out in the staff room overnight.”
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I will never be tired of things like this. Never XD Really, I loooove Yaguchi. And Sayaka! Sayaka is being mentioned here as well! :inlove: Awww, again you are making me love all this even more and more ~ And I swear I'll find a way to pay you back if you do a short crack about this someday >_>...
- Tsuji/Kago bringing up Rika's video and Miki suddenly interested in it was priceless too. I almost can see Miki's eyes suddenly lighting up with excitement at the mention of the incident video proof :lol: I couldn't help but remember that character study of Mikitty laughing her ass off with Charmy's videos XD
- I LOVE KAORIN'S BAD PUNS (ALL OF THEM) AND SURGICAL PRECISION :heart:
So Kemeko is into Psych Attending, uh? I think it suits her a lot. I LIKE. And of course, I approve to of Kaorin being Chief of Surgery. I love how she was bossing around in the cafeteria <3 I'm liking a lot those so called "traditions" in this University Hospital :lol:
And the meeting, omg the meeting :lol: I love to laugh with all this and at the same time being told little by little important information regarding the hospital, and the positions, and everything <3
I laughed a lot with the scene of Kago eating her burrito, dropping the half of it while Yuko was shouting and everyone was just complaining... I don't have to explain why, have I? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: The battle for the Chief Residence title continues! It would have been nice to see Aibon in that position, though XD And some nice information about everyone studies in top of that <3
And there are more characters in here. Nacchi! :heart: Ms. Perfect had to explain the information properly, of course XD If all of these crazy persons weren't enough, there are some newbies coming, uh... I'm really looking forward to see the first day of each one those new interns. Let's see how well Maki, Rika, Yossie, Aya and Miki treat the new people. Specially Miki, because I'm sure the groping demon will awake shortly :lol: And by the way, I wonder again... Where was Yossie all morning, before the meeting...? It seemed like she wasn't in the cafeteria, neither interested in being the first in reading Nakazawa's notice in chapter one... Not to mention Maki said something about not seeing her as usually as before too. Hmmmmm... Yossie is starting to really intrigue me :huhuh
“And don’t kill anyone today.” Nakazawa added, as they shuffled out of the room.
Today? :lol: :lol: How can I not love her? Nakazawa :heart:
And the next part... it was very, very, VERY interesting. And not because is about Rika, uh. Well, maybe that helped a little but I assure you that wasn't the principal reason. But apart of Nakazawa being awesome as always, we have, first of all,two more characters in here. Murata (more Melon members <3), who is from Plastics... not really a surprise. I can picture that. And Heike, who is Chief of Pediatrics. I didn't saw that one coming. Heike is love, but very neglected in the fandom (in my short experiencie of fanfiction, at least), so again, that made me love this even moarrr :heart: So, Pediatrics... I approve!
And second of all, and far more intriging... Rika. She's a brilliant student in her own speciality and out of the blue she want to change it? Just because she likes working with children? Well, I can believe she likes kid, but I highly doubt that's the real reason for the sudden change of heart. So... *speculating again* maybe something happened? But what...? She had some kind of surgical accident or problem with a patient? Maybe there is a little sad kid who is close to her in some way? I have no clues, I can't properly elaborate crazy theories like this! :panic: I demand more data about it!
So far, IshiYoshi is being the most misterious to me. Interesting :wub: And there was a lot of random details I loved in general, like how you showed Melon Kinenbi girls - Rika friendship here and there. Those girls are best friends after all and I like to see that fact didn't change here neither <3 Or how you separate each chapter in those little scenes. Or the way you are introducing new characters little by little without sounding forced at all. It's exciting just to wonder who will appear next and to know what is the ocupation of each character XD Gosh, I love it :heart: I know I said it countless times now, it but I don't really care. I'm hooked XD
H!P Medical Dramaland SAIKOU <3
Update soon grac! I'll be waaaaaaaaaiting ~ :cow: :cow:
-
:nervous So that's what going on :lol: Here I was wondering the crazy morning antics by the girls :P
Good description of the ongoings of the hospital. You seem familiar with the medical dramas :)
Oh gawd I'm not sure if I ever want to put my life in the hands of these crazy doctors :lol:
-
rndm: wait'll you see how crazy. :lol: what's shocking is, that they're competent.
kuro: there's only one thing more epic than Rika becoming a pediatrician. and you will find out in this chapter.
dark: I enjoy the OGs and 85ers, myself. Not much of that nowadays. We've missed them.
muppet: drama is almost certain. but crack, is always a surety.
oddy: hope you enjoy the ride then. I know I'm having a great time writing it.
bad: well, i did watch the first two seasons of Grey's Anatomy. :lol: That's all i got- everything else is Google. And I wouldn't mind having my heart handled by cardiothoracic surgeon Maki Goto, if you know what i mean.
ropy: is this the one you spent hours writing? :lol: I'm touched. And you did leave some fangirling for here. :thumbsup
Maki thinking about Yossie. NICE. And interesting. Very interesting... *already speculating just because I love speculating about insignificant details* . Why Yossie doesn't jog anymore? Schedule problems? Or anything else?
Well, doctors are pretty busy, i guess. It doesn't matter- Maki may be finding herself a new running partner soon.
When we finally realize and are aware of where are all the fun is (and will be) taking place,all in a very Nakazawa-ish way.
:lol: given all the comments i've been receiving, i think you're the only one who noticed the notice.
Really, I loooove Yaguchi. And Sayaka! Sayaka is being mentioned here as well! Awww, again you are making me love all this even more and more ~ And I swear I'll find a way to pay you back if you do a short crack about this someday >_>...
what? what was that? speak up, dammit! *adjusts reading glasses and hearing aid*
The 82'ers (which is, by the way, the year I was born- *feel so old*)
Yaguchi took a huge bite out of the pizza slice she was holding, walking casually over to April's door and leaned against it. A smile crossed her face when she heard two distinct snores. 'Saves me the trouble of fixing Chelsea's door as well.'
Taking a small gate latch from the front pocket on her overalls, she whipped out a tube of superglue and started to coat the back of the latch carefully. "Not screwing around with noisy drills." she snorted slightly at the pun but caught herself quickly, looking around to make sure no one heard her. Mixing around with Kaorin did bad things to your brain.
After securing the latch and duct taping it to the foreign resident's door to make sure it sets nicely, the tiny trauma surgeon started on her other doukie's rooms. The hallway kegger party they had earlier was a good idea, she thought as she picked up another slice of pizza, munching on it.
It didn't take too long to install all the locks, which was a good thing since she needed to clean up the remnants of the party and get some sleep before crossing her victory line tomorrow. Alone, she laughed evilly. Stuffing empty pizza boxes and stray liquor bottles into a large garbage bag, she collected the leftover pizza and proceeded to stuff a slice through the crack of everyone's door. "Waste not, want not," she hummed to herself as she shoved an extra slice under Murata's door. With any luck, the short-sighted girl would walk out of her room without noticing them until it was too late.
Yaguchi woke to the sound of swearing and thumping- she jumped up from bed with a start, it was later than she would've wanted. She ran out of her room 10 minutes later, and did a victory run down the hallway when she noticed that all the locks were intact and holding fast. Smiling sunnily at Yuu-chan as she passed her senior in the hospital corridor, she made her way to the break room when she collided with Ichii as the other girl was exiting the room.
"Kuso!" Mari swore, looking up at Sayaka. "How did you get out?"
Ichii grinned smugly and flashed a peace sign at her, "I won. But, congratulations, Chief Resident Yaguchi."
-----
I have no clues, I can't properly elaborate crazy theories like this! I demand more data about it!
I must stop meeting your demands one of these days...

Chapter 3: In the Pits
Tsuji was bored, but smart enough not to voice it out.
Now that her best friend and partner-in-crime had completed her residency, Aibon was busy doing consults everywhere, in and out of the emergency ward and would be moving out of the dorms soon, so Tsuji would see her even less than before.
Tsuji herself was still at the mercy of Yaguchi and working towards the tail-end of her trauma surgery rotation, She spent much of her time in the emergency room, or the pit (of hell) as they liked to dub it.
Her eighth patient for the day was another hayfever-triggered asthma attack- Spring was winding down too slowly and the monotony of mild respiratory-related issues were eating at the adrenaline-driven surgeon. Winter was definitely her favorite season- icy roads, broken bones, ruptured spleens- Santa-san really came through last Christmas with that ten-car pileup, Tsuji recalled fondly.
She glanced at the time, which was just barely past noon and sighed. A long, dissatisfied sigh complete with lip curl, pout and frown.
“What’s wrong, Tsuji-san?” Nurse Miyoshi asked her from the station.
“I’m-“ Tsuji refrained from tempting fate, “It’s nothing.”
“If it’s the 5-letter B word, I’ve got a patient that needs looking at in Consult 2.”
“If its respiratory, you can forget it.”
“Well, it’s a slip and fall-”
The resident snatched the clipboard out of Erika’s grasp and fairly skipped into the Consult room, praying for a dislocated bone to set. “What do we have here?” she addressed the room’s occupants with a smile. ‘At least a bad sprain, please, God.’
“My daughter fell during her asthma attack…”
Tsuji held her breath for two seconds, and expelled her breath slowly, mentally completing that long, dissatisfied sigh.

The five senior surgical residents sat in the break room studying intern orientation packets. It listed their future kouhai’s assignments, suggested rotation schedules and the compulsory teaching program.
“It’s going to be tough trying to juggle this and our own final year,” said Aya as she thumbed through the sheaf of papers.
“Oh look, it says if we have something to do that they can’t tag along to, we can place them under the care of another senior resident.”
“Just for the record, Miki,” Maki said preemptively. “You’re not palming off your intern to me.”
“Nande?” Miki mock-whined, flopping dramatically over Aya’s lap. “Aya-chan~, you-“
“No.”
Undeterred, Miki turned puppy dog eyes at Rika and Yossi. “Only with good reason, and we expect reciprocation.” Rika stated her terms. “Oh, actually, I have an assessment tomorrow before lunch.”
“I can take your intern,” Yossi volunteered. “So, after patient rounds?”
“Aw, look at the two of you, the old married couple divvying up household chores and babysitting duty.”
“You can forget that favor, Mikitty,” Yossi warned, glancing at Rika who looked unaffected.
“Okay, okay- fine. Sorry.”
Aya added, “It’s just that we know you better- you hate this stuff. You’ll just abandon these kids to our care at any given chance.”
“That’s not true.” Miki denied heatedly.
“Yeah? I bet you can’t keep your intern with you for one week.” Maki challenged.
“What?!”
“Ooh- yes! I say 3 days. Either Miki bails out or her intern does.”
“Aya-chan!”
“Come on, you guys. Stop picking on Miki-chan.” Rika piped up. “Give her two weeks, at least.” Yossi burst out laughing uproariously at that and high-fived Rika.
“You guys suck.” Miki huffed, crossing her arms.
Rika’s pager went off, “Whoops- that’s Kaotan. Gotta go.” She breezed out the room with a wave and everyone took that as a cue to get back to work. Miki was still sulking on the couch when Aya left her with a pat on the head.
-----
Kaori was studying the surgical board when Rika found her, “What’s up, Kaorin?”
“Ah, Rika-chan. I spoke to Yuu-chan- she wasn’t too keen about your request to transfer, actually.”
Rika frowned, “What did Nakazawa-san say exactly?”
“That the only way you’re leaving the surgical program was if you died of a horrible dismemberment. Simply dying wouldn’t work because she’d just resusticate you. She said, and I quote this verbatim: ‘Godhand Nakazawa has never lost a coding patient.’”
“I see,” Rika said glumly, “That’s that then.”
“Why do you want to switch to a medical specialty? You’re already in your fourth year of surgical training and you’ve got a talent for it.”
“Pediatrics is- I mean, isn’t it infinitely more challenging and rewarding all at once? To be able to treat and cure young lives with so much more ahead of them,” the young resident enthused passionately.
“With the cases we see here, it’s usually more heartbreaking than most.”
“I guess that’s the challenging part.”
“You know,” Kaori mused, “You should’ve said all this to Yuu-chan earlier. She would’ve loved it. I think she thought your reasoning to switch was a little- weak.”
Rika kept quiet at that, internalizing something. “What’s wrong, Rika-chan?” Kaorin asked.
“Just- I’m glad you and Nakazawa-san think I’m doing alright at work. Maybe part of why I need a change is because I may have gotten complacent at what I do- both Aya and I are in the same field, we have a great surgical team, but only so many cases coming through each week.”
“And you think it’s gotten easy.”
“Maybe. And maybe a little bit of it is because- well, I know I’m never going to shine brighter than Aya-chan in this same field. Does it make me a bad person to think this way?” Rika asked hesitantly.
Kaori smiled at her resident, “No, I think it just makes you a good doctor to want to better yourself. We surgeons have to hone ourselves and stay sharp to be on the cutting edge.”
“Did you just- comfort me with a pun?”
The Chief of Surgery playfully swatted Rika with a medical file, “Here- I think this is a solution we’ll all be happy with.” Kaori handed her the file. “Have you considered Pediatric Surgery, specializing in neurosurgery?”
Rika lit up as she studied the patient’s records, “I didn’t even know that was an option here at Asa.”
“Well, there’s me, with Neonatal surgical experience, and the nursing support team has the immediate skill set to handle a child his age in the operating room. We could import some neuro nurses from your existing surgical team as well. How about it, doctor?”
“I’m in!” Rika grinned happily.
“Well, you’ve got a lot of work catching up and preparing for it then. I suggest you start doing most of your research today, because tomorrow’s going to be a busy day for you and your new kouhai.”
“Wakarimashita, Leader!”

Did you know: Med Students < Interns (Final Year Med Students/First Year Residents) < Residents (First half of residency) < Senior Residents (Second half of residency) < Attending (Completed residency) < Chief of Departments (Surgery, Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, etc.) < Chief of Staff < Tsunku?
-
Lol you made it look like Miki-sama was a slacker physician...XD XD XD
and here i thought there would be some Charmikitty here :P :P :P
moar :lol:
-
Oh man, I can't wait to see where all this is going. It's like watching a hospital comedy. :lol: I wonder who the kouhais are?
But, man, there's a lot of, I dunno, medical society? in this. Is this stuff common knowledge?
Are...? Are you a doctor? :O
-
Graaaac ~ :on gay: Thank you :heart: I'll definitely going to find a way to repay you back for all this spoiling :nya: But yay, crack GET! ~ :cow: :cow: :cow:
And yes, that was the one I spent so much time in writing XD New running partner for Maki? Interesting... :roll:
The 82'ers
Admit it. The little thing beside the title was revenge for my own tiny writing, wasn't it? *brings microscope* You can't talk about being old until you are older than Nakazawa. You wouldn't want her to feel old, right? At least if you appreciate your life XD
Yaguchi eating pizza while locking everyone in their roms is exactly what I wanted to read :rofl: :rofl: I loved all of it, Yaguchi-centered crack is :heart:
Mixing around with Kaorin did bad things to your brain.
:rofl: Kaorin's bad puns are contagious? In that case, I hope it spread on all the persons in that hospital, at least for one day XD
she collected the leftover pizza and proceeded to stuff a slice through the crack of everyone's door. "Waste not, want not," she hummed to herself as she shoved an extra slice under Murata's door.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Yaguchi's evil side powered up by the pizza (and the alcohol?) is really something. She even has the evil laugh... XD Aw, my little poor Murata...
The whole wake up scene made me crack up again, and the "Smiling sunnily at Yuu-chan" was nice too XD
Ichii grinned smugly and flashed a peace sign at her, "I won. But, congratulations, Chief Resident Yaguchi."
Sayaka :heart:
For some reason this made me go Awww :wub: All of them are competing non-stop even for ridiculous reasons, but they can congratulate each other sincerely. Ah, the good, old friendship. I like, I like :heart:
And new chapter! Wohoo ~ :cow: :cow: :cow:
Yay, bored Tsuji is always a good premise! Oh... one moment. Aibon moving out where? OH NOES. I WARN YOU. Separating Tsuji/Kago is not allowed. Not even a bit, not allowed at all! No, no, no, if you do it, I'll cry ;_; They have to be together, forever, and be happy and eat sweets everyday, and get drunk once in a while :cry: :cry: I just watched the other day the W wedding reception and entered again in the "W should have been together forever ;_;" phase. I always had a soft spot for those two, though :cry:... So for now, you are ok, you still didn't do anything very dangerous.... but I'll keep an eye on this matter >_>
Tsuji just gained more points with this part, by the way. Maybe I'm evil, but I find Nono excitement towards accidents with wounded people awesome XD And another nurse appeared ~ Erika! I think I'm going to do a list or something, with what is doing each character XD It's not like I have trouble remembering, but I think I can use that in future speculations :heart:
"What do we have here?” she addressed the room’s occupants with a smile. ‘At least a bad sprain, please, God.’
“My daughter fell during her asthma attack…”
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Poor Nono, she was tricked XD
And again... one of those scenes with too much awesomeness to describe :wub: Maki sure was fast to avoid doing favors to Mikitty, and Ayaya too. That sharp "No" without giving Miki the chance to convince her. Maybe she don't dare to look at those puppy eyes? :lol: And I see ISHIYOSHI! IshiYoshiii ~ <3 Old married couple, yay ~ *dances* But wait.
“You can forget that favor, Mikitty,” Yossi warned, glancing at Rika who looked unaffected.
“Okay, okay- fine. Sorry.”
Here... There is something wrong here. I can sense it. Hmm... :huhuh Maybe I just took it the wrong way? I'll be keeping an eye on the IshiYoshi too. Just in case I inform you I approve IshiYoshi drama as long there is a happy ending after it. I think XD But really. I'm taking this the wrong way, or really there is something wrong there? It's really bothering me. Oh, well. Let's keep going XD
Team-picking on Mikitty is a hobby I'll always promote. She's so cute when she gets into a huff or sulk, or whatever. Cuteness overload in any case <3. And I say her patience won't last even one day. Unless is someone she enjoy stalking or something like that :lol: Her intern will last longer, though. But no matter what happens I'm sure it's going to be very fun to read. Come on newbies, we are waiting you ~ And Aya pat-pat on sulking Miki is adorablee :heart:
I SPY MOAR DATA IN THE NEXT PART :ph43r: It will come in handy to increase my crazy speculations... *taking notes*
“That the only way you’re leaving the surgical program was if you died of a horrible dismemberment. Simply dying wouldn’t work because she’d just resusticate you. She said, and I quote this verbatim: ‘Godhand Nakazawa has never lost a coding patient.’”
Yup. That's Nakazawa for you. Epic as ever XD
And this time I buy Rika's argument, seems rasonable enough. But I'll still be hoping for some dark secrets here and there. The time will come when they pop up, and I'll be there, ready to catch them! :w00t: So, in the end, it's pediatric surgery for Rika, uh... I smell drama >_> I wonder if she will take Shibata as a nurse ~
I love how Kaori takes her time to search for a suitable solution for Rika. Isn't she caring, and adorable, and with most the awesome puns in the whole hospital? :heart:
Next is gonna be newbies time? I hope so :cow: :cow:
Update soon ~~ <3
-
Poor Tsuji, perhpas she should learn to listen to whole sentences? :lol:
Hmm, seems as though Miki has the reputaion as a bit of a slacker most of the time, or is it just perhaps that she juat doan't like being arouns interns?.....
Seems as though Rika had good reasons for wanting to change speciliasations, but why didn't she tell Yuko why she wanted to change, perhaps Yuko thinks that it has more to do with Aya than any hopes on Rika's part....
-
And here is my first
fast try to start repaying you for your spoiling :cow:
The door opposite Miki’s room flew open, a bleary-eyed Masae stumbling out into the corridor “Shitfire, Matsuura, it’s fucking 4:00 am! Some of us just got into bed.”
(http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/343/shitfire.gif)
Since I don't know what kind of hairstyles and such they have in here, I just drew whatever came to mind. So yeah, SD-Gif time. Sorry...? XD
-
^
WAHAHAHAHAAA! That's so fucking amazing! Thanks so much- you've just totally made my day. I'm so stoked, i'm gonna print it and stick it up on my corkboard in my study. You're awesome, Ropychan. Draw more- you could totally start a thread.
I'll go make sure Masae has half-pink hair from now on in the fic. She'll be appearing in two or three chapters time. :P
By the way, you're pretty scary- what with wanting to 'keep an eye' on W and IshiYoshi. :lol: uh-oh. I may need to create a Tightrope-version that skims over the bad bits that you don't like.
rndm: a few episodes of medical drama helps. and wikipedia. and if I were a doctor, I wouldn't have had time to write these. :P
odd, dark: i swear, Mikitty's not a slacker at all. :lol: in fact, she may be one of the better doctors around the hospital.
-
I knew watching grey's anatomy and house m.d. would be useful one day?! And this is one of those days. :lol: a competitive ayaya?! Don't tell me she will be mirroring christina's character? Hahaha 'cause that would be awesome!! :rofl: Overly competitive and achievement driven.. Spells funfunfun. Also rika's wanting to switch to pediatrics reminds me of miranda.
If this is loosely based on grey's then I am really looking forward to the unfolding dramas. XD I am especially looking forward on an on-call room scene. :lol:
og(s) plus medical setting plus gracula equates awesomeness!! :grin:
-
hey, mmsuki! at last- so when i go "50cc's of intravenous whatever", I'm sure there'll be at least one person who would nod sagely as they read it. :P i confess I like my medical drama, but stopped watching after season 2 of GA. Paralleling this idol/doctor life is quite fun.
I am still loving my masae's shitfire GIF. :heart: ~ropy-tan.
Just cause it's the weekend already and I will be busy most of the next two days, I'll just post up half the chapter I meant to complete, but was not able to polish completely. The interns are here! let the games begin!
----
Chapter 4: Natsu Party
Cheesy disco music filled the community hall. An atrociously designed ‘Wellcome 1st-Years!!’ banner that had seen better days hung limply above the main entrance. Dr. Abe Natsumi, known for her award-winning work in the field of cardiology, her excellent bedside manner and little else in the creative field had been put in charge of planning the party because Nakazawa-san declared that the ‘real doctors (meaning, surgeons) had work to do’.
“Shit. This is like medical omiai.” Yossi said, eyeing the obviously nervous first-years who were clustered by the food table, “Do you think we get to pick?” she asked Maki.
Maki shrugged, sipping at her punch. She regarded the weak drink with a frown, glanced around for the makeshift bar and made her way to the liquor laden table.
“Hey. Which one is Takahashi Ai?” Aya asked, sidling up to Yossi.
“All freshies look the same to me.” Yossi shrugged and Aya strode off to find Miki who was lurking about the punch bowl.
“It won’t kill you to make small talk first next time, Ayaya!” Yossi called after her as Maki was returning to her seat.
“What did Ayaya want?” asked Maki.
“Was looking for Takahashi Ai.”
“Dare?”
“Takahashi’s some supergenius- scored second highest in her class, near-perfect MCAT scores. She was recommended for the fast-track program, like Aya.”
Maki made a face, “You think she’ll go ask Yu-chan for this Takahashi?”
“Probably, knowing Ayaya.”
“I wonder if it’s even worth it sometimes.” Maki exhaled, sprawling out lazily in her chair.
“Being Chief Resident? You tell me.” Yossi said.
After a minute of internal musing, Maki thrust her punch cup into Yossi’s hands and got up to look for Nakazawa, “Damn that Matsuura,” she swore.
Shaking her head at her endlessly competitive friends, Yossi took a sip from Maki’s cup and promptly choked on the punch-laced 100 proof.
-----
<<Osoiyo!!>>
<<I’m coming! My advisor lives way across campus and I needed to get some paperwork signed.>>
Risa sighed, “Ai-chan’s on her way. I texted her.”
“I texted her too,” Sayu said, holding up her pink Hello!Kitty phone.
“Oh, me too!” Reina piped up.
As if on cue, their phones chimed in harmony.
<<I’ll be there in 5 minutes. If I’m not, read this messsage again.>>
“I think she’s pissed off,” Reina declared confidently.
Eri appeared next to them, setting down little plates of finger food. “Where’s Ai-chan? Some senpais were looking for her,” she told her friends. “I think I better text her-“ Kamei started to say as she pulled out her phone.
“No!” three voices interjected as one. Snatching Eri’s phone away from her, Reina snapped it shut and tossed it into a large bowl of salsa. It sank to the bottom of the bowl with a gurgle.
“My phone!”
Everyone turned to stare at Reina and she stared right back, “What?” she asked loudly.
“Tanakacchi, I told you to stay away from the punch. You don’t want to make a bad impression tonight.”
“On the other hand, she might just fit right in with our sempais,” Sayu supplied helpfully, indicating Dr. Yasuda who was pouring more bourbon into a teacup.
Eri fished her phone out out of the bowl and gave it a tentative lick.
-----
“I think I just saw one of the new interns sucking salsa out of her phone’s receiver and then speaking into it.” Nacchi stared at the group of newbies incredulously.
“Excellent, there is hope for the younger generation then.” Yuko replied, sipping at her tea. She was sitting comfortably on a large wing chair, brought in specially for her.
Standing to her right, Aya was solicitously serving her some chicken skewers, while trying to convince the Chief to assign Takahashi to her. Maki was perched on Nakazawa’s lap, both residents immediately put to work when they approached her regarding intern assignments.
“I’m just saying, Yuu-chan, don’t you think it would be an unfair advantage for any one of us to get this Takahashi girl?” Maki pressed. Aya just glared at Maki who was utilizing her own advantageous position to curry favor from the Chief of Staff.
“Yuu-chan, can you please just tell them?” Nacchi said exasperatedly.
“We’re assigning the interns via a random draw.”
“What?” Aya asked, shocked. “Shouldn’t it be based upon compatibility and their best interests? As I have experience in fast-track, shouldn't I be the best person to mentor Takahashi-san?”
"Technically, at this point of your career, you all should be equally as suited to mentor any of these girls assigned to you."
“Hah. Ba~ka.” Maki jeered at Aya. She threw her arms around Yuko and hugged her, “Yuu-chan is fair. Daisuki!”
Nakazawa regarded her squabbling residents with a fond look, “Let’s just try to remember the reason why these interns are being placed in your care. You are their teachers- they are not your meal tickets to Chief Resident.”
Just then, Rika entered the hall with Kaori and Yaguchi. “Good, everyone is here at last,” Nacchi spotted them and sighed in relief. “Let’s start this thing.”
She went onto the small stage and gave the mic a customary tapping until the feedback squeal made everyone wince, “Is this thing on? Haha. Anyway, welcome. Congratulations to the new interns who’ve made it into our prestigious surgical program. We’re sure you’re all excited to know which senior resident you’ve been assigned to for the duration of your internship. As you know, our esteemed institution-”
“Get on with it!” Two voices piped up in harmony from the back of the room. Tsuji passed the wine bottle over to Kago, who took a swig from it.
“Ahem. Alright then- could the 5 senior residents come to the front?” She held out five unmarked envelopes and they each selected one. “The name of your intern will be inside- please find them and get to know each other during the course of this party.”
“Whoohoo! Party party!”
Nacchi made a ‘cut them off’ sign at Yasuda, who promptly confisicated Non and Aibon’s winebottle for herself.

Did I miss anyone?
Speaking of missing people, my notebook is full of scribbling and namelists- hoping not to miss anyone I could use. I started writing a Rika part of the story when I went "oh shit, i missed out Biyuuden" and laughed like crazy when I remembered this: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=4201.msg203855#msg203855 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=4201.msg203855#msg203855). Good times, good times.
-
I guess the interns are going to join the roller coaster of the hospital, hope they enjoy it :lol:
-
"Eri fished her phone out out of the bowl and gave it a tentative lick."Perfect description of the Eri persona-and in one sentence!
-
As if on cue, their phones chimed in harmony.
<<I’ll be there in 5 minutes. If I’m not, read this messsage again.>>
“I think she’s pissed off,” Reina declared confidently.
:rofl: :rofl: Poor Ai-chan. And she's already being fought over, don't they know, with great genius comes great insanity.
Eri fished her phone out out of the bowl and gave it a tentative lick.
I actually went "HAHA!" Out loud.
We so needed a great comedy around here again.
-
nice...the appearance of gorokkies eh? :lol:
I want Ai-chan to be under Miki-sama and saw Maki and Ayaya's reaction.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: i think it would be quiet interesting with Miki-sama's outgoing personality and antics, and you know how Ai-chan that is.... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
-
I love how the gorokkies are introduced.
Wait, I see that Ai is the one with the second highest scores. So who's the highest? Konno? :lol:
I can't wait for the hilarity to unfold. XD
-
lurker here too~ (but i will change that :P seriously)
So...
YAY! For awesome story~
At first i surely don't know what to think, but then everything "makes sense"
H!P girl in a hospital, that's some crazy hospital, i'm glad you take ALL the girls, meaning, MAKI~ :heart: i scream of happiness when she appear :P
Maki and Aya fighting over Ai-chan XD
Eri fished her phone out out of the bowl and gave it a tentative lick.
Who wouldn't do that?! ... I would do the same XD
“Get on with it!” Two voices piped up in harmony from the back of the room. Tsuji passed the wine bottle over to Kago, who took a swig from it.
Those two! They're dynamite together :lol:
Nacchi made a ‘cut them off’ sign at Yasuda, who promptly confisicated Non and Aibon’s winebottle for herself.
Hell Yeah! Kei-chan XD
YAY for GoRokkies~
This is sooooo good~ ^^
-
I'm happy to see you like Masae's Shitfire :mon inluv:
I had lots of fun myself while doing it. But you know, it was your fic what made me try to draw something. Even now, it keeps me inspired and wanting to do more, and that hasn't happened for a long long time. So... as long as you let me repay you in that way, I'm going to draw random stuff about your writing :roll: And I'll be waiting to see Masae appear with her half pink hair then ~ :heart:
If you are afraid about me keeping an eye, that means... you are planning evil things, aren´t you? I know that you are tricking us with the crack and the laughs, and then you will throw a drama bomb! :panic: I can take the bad bits if you to fix them later. As long you don't break W and/or IshiYoshi forever, you are safe... I think :ph43r:
But now, let's talk about the important stuff. The :cow: UPDATE :cow: . And have a nice weekend while we fangirl about the half-chapter! :heart:
I love those absolutely crackilicious opening pharagraphs of yours. 'Real doctors had to work' XD I would have wanted to see Nacchi's face when she was told that :lol:
Maki shrugged, sipping at her punch. She regarded her drink with a frown, glanced around for the makeshift bar and made her way to the liquor laden table.
:lol: :lol:
Drunkards, all of them! And as I always say, I love it. What kind of crazy party could it be for them without alcohol?
I found competitive Maki and Ayaya more and more lovable with each chapter. Aya goes straight for what she wants doing whatever is needed XD And poor Maki was trying to have fun, but had to track Aya before she reach Nakazawa and do something dangerous :lol: Those two are more interested in the Chief Resident position than the rest, then? But I guess that just the 'I'm not gonna lose to you' feeling is as important (if not more) as the position itself. I hope to see more of this XD
And at last! Newbies appeared :cow: They are hilarous and adorable at the same time :heart: Hello!Kitty phone is win. And Ai-chan is not even present and she is being awesome already. There were a lot of epic moments here... I guess that kind of things happens when GoRokkies are around :lol:
<<I’ll be there in 5 minutes. If I’m not, read this messsage again.>>
It took me a second to understand, and then I cracked up :rofl: Angry Ai-chan is the best XD So she's a super genius here, uh. I'm curious what exactly are you going to do with her. I mean, knowing her character, to put her in the medical world (full of stress, pressure and all) is going to be an interesting experience. I want to see how she (and Gorokkies... and all characters in fact) reacts when there is an emergency :heart:
And Eri :rofl: Gosh, how I love this girl. She always is the cause or/and the trigger of hilarity. But she is tied with Reina this time. Reina throwing the phone in the salsa was a solution I didn't see coming. And her 'What' was awesome too, is she drunk already, without knowing it? That means she has no tolerance or that someone has put too much alcohol tin that punch? Either way, I love them :heart: :rofl: And the best is Eri don't even need to be drunk to lick the salsa of her phone. Hooray :lol: That reminded me... Doritos. Totally different situation and different person, but reminded me anyway XD
And next Aya VS Maki, round 3! Now with more Nakazawa being THE BOSS of everything :lol:
Standing to her right, Aya was solicitously serving her some chicken skewers, while trying to convince the Chief to assign Takahashi to her. Maki was perched on Nakazawa’s lap, both residents immediately put to work when they approached her regarding intern assignments.
This image is too much :rofl: Nakazwa :rofl: Where is the slave who fans her? Is the only thing missing in the scene XD How evil, not letting the girls know that is gonna be a random draw to take advantage of them... :lol: And wait, everyone isn't there. Ai-chan is still missing... and I have the feeling that by the time she get there, everyone is going to be a little intoxicated
“Get on with it!” Two voices piped up in harmony from the back of the room. Tsuji passed the wine bottle over to Kago, who took a swig from it.
[...]
“Whoohoo! Party party!”
Nacchi made a ‘cut them off’ sign at Yasuda, who promptly confisicated Non and Aibon’s winebottle for herself.
And here, thanks to grac, is the perfect example of how the universe should always work :rofl: Okay, I'm happy about those two again. Until THE DRAMA appears, at least XD And how kind of Kemeko to keep the wine for herself <3
But what? The chapter ends and we don't know yet how are they matched? Then it's speculation time! :ph43r:
I say neither Ayaya or Maki will get Ai-chan. Just for the lulz. Maybe Miki then...? With Miki I say is either Ai or Eri. Rika should get Sayu! Yossie... I say Risa. I remember that Alo-Hello! when they got paired. It was hilarous to see how Gaki had to be the responsible one XD Maki should get Reina. And... if I said Ai-chan is not going to be with Aya or Maki that leaves me with... Aya and Eri? Now that I think about it, that would be awesome XD Then, those are my predictions!
Aya - Eri
Maki - Reina
Miki - Ai
Rika - Sayu
Yossie - Risa
Let's see in the next chapter how wrong I was XD
And thanks a lot for the list grac :heart: You missed the nurses on purpose in the list? Anyway, I swear I will make good use of this... :ph43r:
I remembered this: http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=4201.msg203855#msg203855 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=4201.msg203855#msg203855) . Good times, good times.
Gosh, I had forgotten about those :rofl: Now I will have to read it again, and it will be your fault :smhid :heart:
Waiting for the next update ~ :heart:
-
Hmm, why does it feel like the interns are going to cause more trouble than being helpful :lol:
Oh and thanks for the roster thing, it was very helpful! :twothumbs
-
Wow a med-fic! This is right up my alley! I'm nowhere near residency yet (give me two years ahha), but this is interesting.
Surgery, huh? Nuerologists have all the fun *gets shot*
But this is interesting and it's well-executed so far aha Med kids are always crazy and competitive, best combination thanks to sleep deprivation + genius ahaha LOVE IT! Keep it up =D and keep those crack mini fics coming too ahahha
-
ah, everybody loves the GoRokkies, huh? :) Lots of them coming up, I hope. Thanks all, for reading and commenting, familiar names and lurkers alike. They really help to structure the story and give me that little push to keep writing.
Essy: Konno? Probably- :lol:
Ropy, "That reminded me... Doritos. Totally different situation and different person, but reminded me anyway" Shh- inside joke, yeah?
your predictions are pretty good, but at the end of the day, its not so much as who is better suited to whom- it's who will irritate and scare the shit out of whom best. :lol: that, is crack. Besides, with the intern-sitting/swapping, we will definitely see everyone interact with each other one way or another.

Chapter 5: Everybody's got somebody, except Yossi
“Which one of you is Kamei?”
Eri faced Fujimoto apprehensively, “Hajimemashite, yoroshiku onegaishimasu, Dr. Fujimoto-san.” she bowed stiffly.
“Un.” Miki studied her intern, like she would a bug on a specimen dish. Eri gripped her glass with both hands and sipped at it, squirming under Miki’s gaze.
Rika, who was standing next to them with Niigaki, grinned in amusement, “I can see that your reputation may have preceded you, Dr. Fujimoto. Don’t worry,” she addressed the nervous Kamei, “Any allegations against Dr. Fujimoto are only rumors, as far as we know.”
At the next table, Aya looked pained as Sayu was excitedly asking questions in a very high pitch about the program and the hospital.
Maki smirked at her behind Sayu’s back and turned to face her own intern, who seemed like a nice kid, if not slightly drunk. The resident was uncomfortable in social situations like these, therefore often projecting an aloof air, but Reina hardly noticed as she was so taken by the resident she admired.
They smiled tentatively at each other, “Um, senpai- do you want a drink?”
“God, yes.”
Yossi sauntered over to the punch bowl, “Oh jeez- has everyone been taking turns to spike the punch again?”
Yuko examined the punch which had lightened in opacity considerably during the course of the evening and casually tossed the empty vodka bottle into the box under the table meant for recycling.
“It needed some watering down, I thought.” Nakazawa explained.
“You realize watering down the fruit punch doesn’t mean adding more vodka?”
Popping a can of peaches open, the Chief poured its entire contents into the bowl. “There. I fixed it.”
She handed over a cup to Yossi and they made their way to where the seniors were sitting. Yaguchi turned to the resident and asked, “Yossi, where’s your new kouhai?”
“Takahashi Ai. Her doukies told me she was running late,” she explained.
“That’s not good.” Kaori frowned disapprovingly.
“I’m sure she has a good reason why. It’s okay- the longer I can put off the agony of that,” she jerked her thumb to indicate the awkward atmosphere over where the interns and their respective seniors were socializing.
“You kids are so boring- our meet and greets were never like this back in the day.” The seniors smiled fondly at the nostalgic memories.
“You guys were crazy back in your day,” Yossi intoned flatly.
Tsuji cackled, “Remember when Yossi got drunk during our orientation party?”
“Yeah. You were throwing your phone against the wall repeatedly, yelling ‘this is durable as shit’.” Aibon teased with a snicker.
“Oh my gah, please don’t remind me.”
“That’s how I knew you were going to be the best intern I ever had.” Yaguchi beamed proudly, patting Yossi’s shoulder.
“Remember how she got hold of some KY jelly and-“
Yossi jumped up, “That’s it, I’m going to go out and look for my intern.” Everyone laughed as she beat a hasty retreat.
----
As it turned out, Yossi’s decision to go look for Ai wasn’t the best plan in the world since she had no clue what the girl looked like. Sitting on the steps leading up to the Residence, she glanced around the almost empty quad, some day-shift nurses were making their way back to their quarters in pairs.
She had walked all the way up to the main hospital building and back across the quad aimlessly, hoping to bump into a harried stranger who might’ve turned out to be her intern, but with no luck.
‘Shouganai,’ she shrugged with a sigh. There was only one thing to do in moments like these.
Pulling out her phone, she dialled Rika and the neurosurgeon picked up almost immediately, “Moshi mosh.”
“Hai, Yossi?”
“Sorry, am I interrupting?”
“Hang on.” She heard Rika excusing herself and the background noise was muffled slightly, “No, go ahead. I think my intern just sighed in relief. We ran out of things to talk about 15 minutes into the conversation.”
Yossi frowned in concentration, trying to recall who Rika’s intern was. “Ah. Eyebrows. Is she a good girl?”
“She’s nice. Very eager to please, polite and extremely competent but wears her emotions and reactions all over her face. She’s looking at me nervously because I just glanced at her whilst talking to you.” Rika laughed a little.
“How’re things in there?”
“Crazy, the usual. Where are you?”
“Basically, I’m looking for a missing person whom I’ve never met.”
“Takahashi Ai, was it? Hang on.”
No tsukkomi today, Yossi noted, a little wistfully. She heard a flurry of movement, and heard the unmistakable sound of Yaguchi laughing heartily at something in the background. The usual.
“Yossi, where are you?”
“Just outside.”
“Okay, we’re coming out to help you look. Niigaki-san says that Takahashi is not picking up her calls.”
Yossi stood up and stretched, Rika and her intern came out of the main doors and down the steps towards her. A worried Risa was quickly introduced to Yossie, and they set out looking for Ai.
“I’ve searched the quad, up ‘til the hospital.” Yossi reported.
“Ai-chan said she was coming from the university campus. I think her advisor lives in the apartments just outside the grounds.”
A quick plan was formed and they decided to steal Aya’s bike so that Risa could ride quickly through the route Ai would’ve taken via the footpaths. Rika and Yossi would search the shortcuts through the brush she might have tried to cut through.
It was kind of awkward- they haven’t really been left alone together since the break-up… short break, Yossi corrected herself internally. Things had been incredibly amiable, they still had a great working relationship in and out of the hospital. Truth be told, they were doing the exact same things they were doing, months before the official ‘break’.
Lesbian Bed Death. Someone should find a cure for it. ‘Maybe I should ask to sub-specialize in finding a cure.’ Yossi mused, “Or prevention, at least.”
“Prevention of what?” Rika asked suddenly, startling her.
“Ah, well.” Yossi grinned sheepishly. “Of saying things you’re thinking out loud. There has to be a specialty for that.”
Rika chuckled, “Not a surgical one, there isn’t.”
“Hey, I heard the great news, Pediatric Neurosurgeon.” Yossi bumped shoulders with Rika. “I can’t believe they gave you exactly what you’re perfect for.”
The neurosurgeon didn’t respond immediately, but was smiling thoughtfully as she considered her words. “You know, if you didn’t push me to go ask Nakazawa-san, I wouldn’t even have thought about it. You always know what’s best for me than I do for myself.”
“Yeah, now you can go think up a specialty that’s perfect for me too.”
They walked in silence, turning their efforts to climb the grassy knoll which inclined steeply before them. A rustling of bushes to their left caught their attention, “Hello?” A small voice called out.
They rushed over, when Yossi spotted a girl sitting propped up against a tree. “Takahashi-san?”
Raising a bloodied hand weakly, her intern replied, “Hai, Takahashi Ai desu.”
-----
“Itai!”
“Gomen!”
Emergency services had dispatched a stretcher within five minutes of their call. Ai had taken a bad tumble down the hill and could not locate her phone to call for help. Her leg was sprained and swollen, and she had minor cuts and bruises all over.
“So, I heard you did really well in your exams, Takahashi-san.” Rika said gently, trying to distract Ai from the pain.
“Ah.” Takahasi shook her head, “Um, it was- ow!”
“Gomen!” Risa cringed again. Yossi decided to take over- the intern wasn’t inept, just extremely gentle to the point of prolonging the discomfort as she tried to gingerly spare her friend the pain.
Yossi deftly cleaned a particularly nasty gash on her shin, removing a thin twig that had embedded itself into the wound. “Maybe we should put a stitch in this,” she said. “Maybe Dr. Niigaki would want to do the honors?”
“No!” Ai said quickly, then looked guiltily at her friend at the outburst, “I mean, sorry Gaki-san, but I think maybe you’d be too-“
“That’s okay. I really am too jumpy now to even hold a needle.”
“Gaki-san sutures beautifully,” Ai rushed to endorse her friend in front of their seniors. “And handles pressure very well.”
Rika smiled and placed a comforting hand on Ai’s shoulder, “It’s okay- we understand. I know unless it were an emergency, I’d definitely be too nervous to treat my friends, too.”
“Well, there was that time you sewed me up last year.”
“That was because you were trying to sew yourself up and getting the stitches crooked.”
“The suture needle slipped, is all.”
“Slippery from the blood that was gushing from your wound.”
Risa’s stomach churned slightly at the banter, and she flinched as the needle pierced through Ai’s skin, turning away from the sight. This was probably why they tell you not to treat friends and family.
“All done.” Yossi murmured as she dressed the neatly closed wound. “It shouldn’t even scar.”
“Maybe you should take medical leave at least until you heal up,” Rika suggested.
Ai tested out her arms and legs, except for the sprained leg, everything else seemed okay. “No, I think I can make it with crutches or something.”
“Well, I can put you in a wheelchair to keep you off the foot- it’ll be a really light day tomorrow anyway,” her senior told her. "I guess you don't want to miss your first day, huh?"
"Thank you, Dr. Yoshizawa."
“Come on, Ai-chan. I’ll help you get back to your room.” The two interns made their way back to their dorm.
In the wake of all that excitement, Yossi debated against going back to the party, but Rika was quite adamant about joining their colleagues. ‘To get blackmail material, if nothing else’, she reasoned. All in all, they had a pretty nice stroll back to the banquet hall. That was the last thing Yossi could recall from that night.

Procrastination and ropy-chan, are my two best muses. That is, if she'll forgive me for breaking up her favorite couple. *hides*
Oh well. Did you know: suture needles don't look like sewing needles?
-
Poor Ai had to get stitched up and Risa almost gave out her insides because of the blood, ouch, what a way to meet an intern
-
LOL, i knew you would put Kame under Miki-sama.... :lol:
Poor Ai-chan though.... :(
Oh well. Did you know: suture needles don't look like sewing needles?
yeah, its actually look like a hook... :lol: i actually used one before (chromic 2.0) when I sutured the boy's skin (we circumcised him :lol:)
PS: ne author-san...do u work in medical field or something? :roll:
-
i'm still waiting for season 7 (of G.A.) to end before i watch it.. :D that way i don't have to wait weekly and just watch it in one go.. :nervous
oh! joy!!! two chapters to read.. :grin:
<<I’ll be there in 5 minutes. If I’m not, read this messsage again.>>
i am stealing this line.. :ph43r: i might use this when i am running late, meeting my friends.. :lol: :twothumbs
Eri fished her phone out out of the bowl and gave it a tentative lick.
is it wrong that i find this really hot?? :wth
I LOVE THE INTERN/RESIDENT PAIRINGS!!! :inlove: :inlove: :panic:
ERI-MIKI.. :twothumbs reminds me of Elizabeth Kyamei and Miki Fujimoto corner during H!M.. :D
REINA-MAKI.. O-M-G!! i have been craving for this pairing.. :panic: there is just not enough fanfic out there for this pair (that i know of)..
bring on the complicated relationships and the endless drama!! :welcome :ding:
-
Ahh, so many good pairings, Miki bullying Eri, Reina and Maki butting heads, Ayu trying to deal with Sayu and the wierd Rika/Risa and Yossie/Ai cross pairing of awkward love between the seniors and interns respectivly, well, that's how I see it anyway :lol:
Funnily enough I do know that Suture needles are different to Sewing needles, I have an ability to find to end up going to the hospital foor stiches, the most recent of these being Saturday last week! :doh:
-
:mon closeup:WAGHH :mon closeup:
I don't know exactly how I feel, after reading that. I have been way to excited since yesterday, when I read it, and still I don't have figured out my contradictory feelings. Good contradictory feelings, if you want to know. This chapter was full of ... of everything :bow: skdnjfskdf I loved it but but... :panic: *is too excited and traumatized to properly explain*
Well, better start from the beginning and little by little. First... this was a long update. I usually take a look at how long is an update before reading (no spoilers, only look at the lenght), just to not find myself finished before I realize when I'm actually reading. But that usually happens anyway, when it's something I like I will always find it short no matter how long it is :lol: Anyway, what I'm trying to say with all this babble is that I love your long chapters. So yay for long :cow: update! :cow:
About my predictions, you're right. I should have thought more crack-like :lol: But either way is fine. I love when I make wrong predictions and speculations. I love when I make right ones too, of course. But I have fun either way :heart: Looking at how they were paired together at now, I'm more than happy. And I really, really really really wanted to have Eri/Miki (and Maki/Reina, in fact), and here they are XD Aya/Sayu is even more awesome that my idea of Aya/Eri. Sayu is going to annoy the hell out of her :lol: And IshiYoshi taking care of TakaGaki is perfect :heart: I didn't thought of that possibility before but now I love it. And of course, knowing everyone is going to interact with everyone soon or later makes all even better.
“Un.” Miki studied her intern, like she would a bug on a specimen dish. Eri gripped her glass with both hands and sipped at it, squirming under Miki’s gaze.
This is exactly why I was so eager to those two to be paired together. I can already see the wonderful and hilarous future they will bring us in later chapters. They have a lot of potential together :rofl: I love frightened Eririn by the rumors about Miki. You have to let us now sometime a few of them, because I know there are lots and lots of them XD
Sayu already annoying Aya is adorable. I can't wait to see the little bunny in full medical action while being supervised by her tutor. I have the feeling is going to be a really worhty reading :roll:
I'm starting to think that Maki is the one who drink the most here, aside of Nakazawa, of course (everyone knows, nobody can drink more than her XD). But I don't blame her, too much craziness going around. I adored the whole alcohol part once again, I just can't get enough of it :rofl: Like I thought everyone seemed to help to turn a harmless punch in the most dangerous alcoholic drink for miles around. Nice :heart:
Tsuji cackled, “Remember when Yossi got drunk during our orientation party?”
“Yeah. You were throwing your phone against the wall repeatedly, yelling ‘this is durable as shit’.” Aibon teased with a snicker.
:rofl: :rofl:
Oh my god, this was epic win. Winner sentence of the chapter. This is going directly to my "crack-I-want-to-draw" list. I can even imagine the drunk voice of Yossie while saying that. Hilarous :rofl: . And poor phone, it was really 'durable shit' if it didn't break that day. :lol:. Anecdotes from the senpais are really the best.
And here, in this very next part, grac's evilness begin. Because I was suspicious, but you made me think that was my over paranoid imagination. And then, just when I was calm again, you threw the bomb... and killed me :bleed eyes: Since that conversation with Mikitty, some chapters earlier, I thought something was wrong in IshiYoshi paradise. But since they were getting along fine and they were being so nice to each other and stuff I got overconfident. It was right here in this part, with Yossie searching for Ai, and phoning Rika when I finally said to myself 'Everything is ok, you are just paranoid...'. I ignored the signal of "No tsukkomi today, Yossi noted, a little wistfully". I should have now better, that was another hidden clue that pointed towards bad news. But I was happy. And then. AND THEN. :bleed eyes:
It was kind of awkward- they haven’t really been left alone together since the break-up… short break, Yossi corrected herself internally. Things had been incredibly amiable, they still had a great working relationship in and out of the hospital. Truth be told, they were doing the exact same things they were doing, months before the official ‘break’.
:on blackhole: :on blackhole: :on blackhole:
YOU. EVIL. PERSON. :on speedy:
Oh my god, right from the start you broke them. You broke them! When Yossie corrected herself I felt how she is just trying to convince herself. And I'm trying to believe it, really, but.... :cry: You know, I'm a very understanding person. There are still a lot of chapters to fix that. Because you are going to fix it, right? Because you don't want to leave me all traumatized, right? RIGHT? :shifty:
I'll confess, putting my IshiYoshi shipper side aside, it was awesome. I didn't see that coming, and I enjoyed being tricked to believe everything was okay and then find everything was NOT OKAY at all. So you are forgiven, for now, just because the whole thing was amazing. But I will deny this declaration if you ask again :ph43r:
IshiYoshi interaction was sweet. Very sweet :heart: I melted with that "You always know what’s best for me than I do for myself.". Of course she knows, Rika, she is you soulmate dammit :cry: They are adorable, together or not, they still seems like a married couple <3
The fact they decided to steal Aya's bike and Yossie calling Risa Eyebrows were another two amazing bonus points in this part. Mame-chaan ~ <3 And Ai-chan appearance... I can't explain how much I loved it. I could hear her lovely "Hai, Takahashi Ai desu." when I read it. She is adorable, even when she is bleeding :heart:
And the last part was full of Aawwwwwww :wub:. I spied TakaGaki, I spied IshiYoshi, I spied all of them being sweet and fluffy and caring with each other. Love is in the airr ~ :heart: Risa being incapable while Ai-chan is trying to convince her senpais Risa is awesome with sutures was soo sweet <3
Well, there was that time you sewed me up last year.”
“That was because you were trying to sew yourself up and getting the stitches crooked.”
“The suture needle slipped, is all.”
“Slippery from the blood that was gushing from your wound.”
This suture anecdote was so gore and sweet too <3 I love love love love all their interactions. You can feel how much they care about each other even if you BROKE them <__< , no matter what are they talking about. And it was the same for TakaGaki too. That made me happy. I always say the same thing, but all your dialogues feels so natural, they are so nice to read :heart:
Does Risa have a problem with the sight of too much blood or it was only because they where treating Ai while joking about sutures? She was quite uncomfortable with the whole anecdote. We'll see that later I guess. And isn't Yossie a wonderful tutor? So capable and caring. I'm happy she is with Ai. And maybe she can warn her about the dangers of Lesbian Bed Death whenTakaGaki time comes >_>. But poor Ai, what a bad way to start there. She's gonna be in wheelchair for her first day, then? I can picture Risa worrying too much about her because this little incident XD And are we going to have everyone first day in the next chapter or maybe something else? Aw, whatever it is I wanna read, I wanna read it soon ~
Update soon :heart: I'm already looking forward to it!
Oh, and by the way, those little information bonus you give at the end of each chapter... XD I like them a lot.
-
Ooh EriMiki has so much potential for laughs XD Wedgies in the operating theatre? In the lunchroom? Basically anywhere? Ah poor Eri, she's gonna have it coming.
I never would've guessed the Aya/Sayu pair, but this is an interesting combination.
-
HA! Now that's how you make an introduction, Ai! I'll take note of this when I have to do my residency one day HAHHAHAH excellent.
EriMiki will be FANTASTIC and Maki + Reina and Sayu + Aya have SO MUCH potential to be AMAZINGLY hilarious. I can't wait to see what you'll do with these pairings. And pairing TakaGaki up with Ishiyoshi? LOL What is this, mirroring of love?
And trouble in Ishiyoshi paradise? Break time? HMMMMM~ A background story is needed =D
KEEP IT UP!
P.S. - LOL @ your comment about the new kids being boring. HAR HAR HAR!
-
kuro: well, to be fair to gakisan, at least she didn't pass out. :lol:
dark: no, i don't work in the medical field. but I hope you do. either medical or religious- because i'd be very interested to find out why you had to perform a circumcision otherwise.
suki: i worry for you. but i will throw in some wrenches in the works just to satisfy your need for drama.
odd: oh man, that must suck. i hate getting stitches in. hope you’re healing well.
ropynyan: nyaaaaaanko! *ahem* well, that was about all I wanted to say. :P i fix it, k? maybe
meowz: oh man, it's like you read my mind. erimiki is comedy gold for me.
kjpop: trust me, you totally do not want to use this as reference if you are ever to become a doctor.

Chapter 6: Learning Curve
The judge of a good party at Asa UH is always how and where you end up waking the next morning. Whether or not you counted it as a success to have woken up in bed with your senior resident was entirely up for debate, Reina thought.
Maki was draped across Reina, her head cleaved to the crook of Reina’s neck, one hand clutching the hem of Reina’s shirt. The intern had a confusing surge of both relief and disappointment to find themselves fully-clothed.
There was movement beside the bed and she squeaked as a firm hand clamped over her mouth, preventing further noise. Aya, with a sleepy, but inscrutable look on her face, shushed her and jerked her thumb to indicate the door.
Reina didn’t need to be told twice as she slipped out of her resident’s embrace, rolled off the mattress and landed on all fours like a cat. She made her way to the door much more gracefully than her hungover self should’ve managed and felt vaguely proud of herself. Sneaking a quick glance back, she saw Aya climbing into the spot she’d vacated.
As she closed the door behind her, she noted the nameplate with ‘MATSUURA Aya’ by the door, which cleared things up for Reina, although it didn’t explain why the resident waited until dawn to reclaim her bed.
All in all, not the worst walk of shame Reina’s had, she thought with a smirk.
-----
It had to be absolutely the worst way to wake up, Yossi thought as she tried to extricate herself out of Nakazawa-san’s death grip on her torso. She never got used to the dread and terror she’d have to go through everytime this happened- taking a mental bodypart check to see if she’d been violated the night before.
Despite being half-naked, everything else seemed alright, she thought with a sigh. It was almost impossible to wriggle out without losing a limb in the process, so Yossi just flopped back onto her pillow and decided to wait for her alarm to go off.
-----
“Ohayo,” greeted Rika brightly as she saw her intern wheeling Ai into the cafeteria. “How are you feeling today, Takahashi-san?”
“I feel fine. The swelling seems to have gone down somewhat.”
Rika invited the both of them to sit with her at the senior resident’s table. “It’s okay. The morning after a party, everyone tends to skip breakfast time,” she explained, motioning toward the quiet cafeteria.
“I’m sorry you had to miss the party because of me Dr. Ishikawa.”
“Oh, I didn’t miss it at all. I’m just glad we managed to find you,” Rika said with a smile. “So, are the both of you excited about your first day?”
They started the day right with breakfast, just like the doctor ordered.
-----
Miki led the way to the Administrative offices, nodding a greeting to some admin staff as she passed HR.
The Facilities and Security manager beamed as she saw the both of them. "Ara, what a good senpai you are, Dr Fujimoto. Bringing your kouhai here yourself to get her ID pass."
Miki smirked at Kamei, who had an embarrassed look on her face- being 15 minutes late on the first day of work was not the best way to make an impression. At least Fujimoto-san wasn't as monstrous as they all claimed in the different horror stories Eri had heard.
"G'wan, get your picture taken." Miki said gruffly pushing her forward slightly, and then Eri yelped, eyes wide, as she felt herself fondled and then firmly wedgied. It was too late to do anything about it short of pulling at her underwear in front of the Security guys who were about to take her picture.
-----
“…and 650cc of emesis overnight.” Niigaki finished her perfect 5-minute report with a proud flourish.
Rika was looking down at the neatly-written report on the clipboard, listening intently to Risa the entire time. “What is the patient’s name?” she asked quietly, looking at her intern.
Risa panicked, ready for any number of questions regarding the patient’s stats or the procedures regarding the emesis but not this one. “Um- nandake? Uh…” Her eyes flicked over to the clipboard that Rika was holding close to her chest as she waited for an answer.
“Dr. Niigaki, for future reference, the patient’s name is not ‘43-year-old woman, progressive shortness of breath and chronic blackouts’. It’s Itou Yumi-san, and you would do well to remember that, and every other patient’s name from now on. Take a moment to find out before you enter their room and greet them by name.” Ishikawa’s voice was calm, but firm.
She handed the clipboard over to Risa, “Handle the discharge papers on Satou-san and Kuma-san and then go join Dr. Yoshizawa at the emergency room- you’ll be on her service today.”
Risa stared at her senpai who had entered the patient’s room, shamed and frustrated.
-----
“What do you recommend, Dr. Tanaka?”
Reina confidently replied, “An ECG and full bloodwork to test troponin levels.”
Maki sighed, “Okay, tests are good. But that stethoscope hanging around your neck is not just a fashion accessory, Tanaka.” She gestured for Reina to put it on. Warming the stethoscope briefly between her fingers, she glanced at Reina to make sure her intern was mimicking her. “Medicine isn’t about ordering expensive tests and reading lab reports all the time.”
Smiling at their patient, Maki placed her stethoscope over his chest and closed her eyes in concentration. The sounds came to her clearly, even in the din of the cardiac care ward.
“Okay, now you listen to this.” Maki moved to make way for Reina.
The first-year listened intently, not sure what she was supposed to look out for.
“Can you distinguish individual heart sounds?”
“Yes.”
“Are there any silent intervals?”
Reina paused, eyes shut tight, straining to listen. “Maybe.”
“There are no maybes in medicine, Doctor. Establish the rhythm and tell me where the silent interval occurs.”
The patient, to his credit, didn’t move a single muscle the entire time despite having a cute doctor almost resting her head on his chest.
“I got it! There’s a silent interval between the first heart sound and another before the second.”
Maki raised her eyebrows, secretly impressed. Most people would’ve picked up a single interval between the first and second beats, but not two separate intervals. “Now tell me, if this was an echocardiogram, what will the diagram look like?”
“A crescendo and decrescendo… ah! An ejection murmur!” Reina jumped up excitedly as Maki nodded in the affirmative.
The patient cheered and Reina did a small victory dance.
“Well, Kata-san, maybe you shouldn’t cheer quite so enthusiastically about your condition. We’ll discuss treatment options for you after an ECG.” Maki passed the clipboard over to Reina for the intern to order up the necessary tests.
“Rest well, Kata-san- we’ll see you soon.” Reina waved at her patient with a wink as they exited his room.
“Good job, Dr. Tanaka.”
Reina glowed with the praise. “Senpai, can you call me Reina instead? There are like a dozen Dr. Tanaka’s in this hospital.”
“Okay, Dr. Reina,” Maki nodded. “Ah, ano… Aya-chan told me we invaded her room last night. I hope it doesn’t make things awkward for you-“
“It’s okay, Senpai. I think it helps- with a better working relationship and all that,” Reina replied sincerely.
Maki smiled at her kouhai fondly. This training thing might work out after all.
-----
“This is the wrong one, Kame. I asked for ‘Ebony Trans Love’- go get that one for me.”
The intern looked close to tears as she clutched the glossy magazine, “But… they- they don’t have-“
“I want results, not excuses!!” Miki roared, as Eri shrank back towards the door, “And leave that one here!”
Eri threw the magazine onto the coffee table and all but fled the room.
Yossi picked up the magazine featuring a large-breasted, well-endowed shemale and flipped through it, tilting her head to figure out angles, “Why the hell do you even want these?”
“Maa~ I figure it bothers her.”
“You are so not making Chief Resident.”
“I don’t want to hear that from the person who sent her crippled intern out to deliver lab reports and handle discharges on her first day.”
“At least my intern is learning something on the job, not making visits to the sex shop looking for porn just ‘cause you think it’d bother her.”
Miki sighed into the double-tall strawberry sprinkle mocha-nut mint latte Eri made for her, “What’s the damn point, Yocchan? We all know its going to be one of the wonder two. Or three. Your girlfriend is so passive-aggressive, I can’t even tell if she’s vying for the post at all.”
Yossi ignored the girlfriend crack and smoothly replied, “You’re fast track too, in case you forgot. I know you- you pretend you don’t give a damn, but you’re just as competitive as the best of them.”
“I was on fast-track. I just want to serve my time quietly in general surgery for now.”
“Speaking of which, Nakazawa-san is putting a bug up my ass about us declaring that sub-specialty we keep threatening to do.”
“Whatever. I don’t need no stinking specialty. General surgery is a time-honored, oft-misunderstood and under-appreciated field.”
“Is this because you don’t want to compete with Ayaya?”
“The fuck?” Miki spluttered into her drink, and laughed. “What?”
Yossi frowned, her brow furrowed as she contemplated the mechanics required in the centrefold spread’s position, “How the heck does sh- he- it do that?”
Miki threw a handful of beef jerky at Yossi. “What? What were you saying?”
“You.” Yossi looked up from her examination of the picture to stare Miki right in the eyes. “You’re holding yourself back. Because you don’t want to compete with Aya.”
“What? No way!”
“You know Aya’s really good at what she does. I mean, she’s flying solo now and went straight into her specialty in her first year. Even Maki had to work the rotation trenches with the rest of us before becoming a cardiothoracic superstar. She’s not into the competition at all- not until someone incredibly competitive like Ayaya eggs her on.”
“How does this,” Miki gestured absently with a strip of jerky. “Involve me?”
“What I don’t get is what happened to you- why you sorta lost your drive midway. Something up with you and Aya?”
“Nothing’s wrong! What about you and Rika-chan?”
Eyebrows raised, Yossi regarded Miki with a patient look, “We’re talking about you, not about me. And definitely not about Rika.”
“Stop changing the subject.” Miki muttered, shoving a strip of jerky into her mouth and chewing violently.
Yossi smirked, amused at her friend’s antics, “We should admit you to Kemeko Nuthouse upstairs. Who’s passive-aggressive now?”
“There’s nothing up with me and Aya-chan.”
“Anytime you’re ready to talk, I’m here.”
Miki contemplated that for a while. “Me too.”
Yossi went back to her magazine and mumbled absently, “I wonder what Nakazawa-san will say if I told her I wanted to specialize in gender reassignment surgery?”
-----
Ayaya was having the worst headache.
If the girl wasn’t so goddamn proficient with the procedures, she would’ve banned her intern from observing the surgery altogether. Now, Michishige was staring closely at her every move, making small cutesy sounds from time to time when she was enraptured with something Aya was doing.
“Neuro sponge.” Nurse Saito deftly responded to Aya’s quiet request.
Saito Hitomi was often invited to assist in almost every surgery the young neurosurgeon scrubbed into. The experienced neurosurgical nurse was Aya’s good luck charm of sorts and she looked up to the woman with a lot of respect. Right now, Saito was eyeing Aya with amusement, seeing minute signs of stress, not caused by the simple procedure, but by the new addition to their surgical team.
“Would you like to handle the suction, Dr. Michishige?” Saito asked. Aya’s eyes went wide at that and she glared at her trusty nurse. “Yes, Dr. Matsuura? This is a teaching hospital- isn’t hands-on training part of the curriculum?”
Aya glanced around the table- her team was grinning at her behind their masks. She caught a flash of pink turning away to her left- her anesthesiologist pretended to study something on the screen, whilst snickering quietly.
“Yes, Dr. Ohtani?” Aya glowered at her anesthesiologist.
“Vitals and EEG stable,” Masae choked out.
“Shige-san, name me five suctioning-induced traumas that could occur,” Aya barked.
To Sayu’s credit, she only paused for a second before launching into a clear and concise response to Aya’s question. The nurse nodded approvingly before passing the suction to her. “That’s pretty good, Dr. Michishige. Almost verbatim from the textbook.”
“Mochiron!” Sayu smiled cutely. If Aya’s hands weren’t already occupied with the patient’s brain, she would’ve reached up to smack her intern.
-----
“Yoshizawa-san?” Ai wheeled herself into the break room, nervously glancing at her resident and her choice of reading material.
Yossi tossed the porn magazine she was perusing at a dozing Miki and stood. “All done delivering lab reports?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Solid work- let’s go find trouble at the pit.”
They exited the break room and into an empty corridor, Yossi pushing Ai down towards the emergency room, “Your friend is supposed to join us today- Gaki- Gaki-san, was it?”
“Niigaki-san.”
“That’s what I said. Here we are.” The automatic doors swung open into utter chaos, and the Takahashi gaped as a patient was wheeled past them with a barbeque skewer sticking out of his arm.
Yossi smiled, “Ahh- it’s almost summer. Never complete without barbeque-related injuries.” She sidled up to the nurses station and nodded a greeting at Nurse Shinoda. “Could you please page Dr. Gaki-san here?”
The resident and intern leaned against the counter, watching the busy floor as Risa was paged. A not entirely unpleasant odor wafted through the ward and Yossi froze, recognizing it immediately. “Takahashi-kun, have you-“
Tsuji flew past them, a broad maniacal grin from ear to ear, “Ahhh~ it’s the smell of summer!” She was cradling an armfull of gel tubes and dressing, running as quickly as she could without dropping anything.
“Come on, Takahashi.” Yossie gestured, pulling surgical masks and latex gloves from the dispenser and handing a set to Ai. “Let’s meet your first burn trauma. Breathe through your mouth.” She left word at the reception to send Risa over when the intern responded to the page.
-----
Someone in the Cafeteria had a nasty sense of humor.
Ai and Risa poked at their coleslaw whilst their table mates enjoyed the special barbeque and grilled meat for dinner that day. Reina was particularly overjoyed at the menu and was chomping enthusiastically at a charred rib slathered with tomato sauce, to Risa’s disgust.
As part of their almost daily custom to recap the day’s events around the dinner table, Sayu was excitedly recounting a play-by-play description of the surgical procedure she'd observed. By the fifth mention of 'intracerebral' and 'hemorrhage', most of her tablemates had tuned off the jabber.
“How about you, Eri?” Risa asked. “Was Dr. Fujimoto alright? I mean, we keep hearing crazy stories about her.”
“It was- interesting,” was all she had to say, smiling weakly at her friends. She turned to her food and started eating slowly.
“And then Nurse Saitou-san said I had a steady grip," Sayu continued, undeterred by the lack of attention.
“Mou, Sayumi. It’s rude to go on and on about it when you know we all haven’t even been in to the surgical room,” Risa complained. Sayumi tilted her head cutely in some form of apology.
“After today, I will never have barbeque for the rest of my life,” Ai said with a shudder.
Risa nodded empathically, “Me neither.”
“I woke up in Dr. Matsuura's bed with Gottsuan in my arms.” Everyone turned to stare at Reina, except Eri, who seemed lost in her own world. “We didn’t sleep- we didn’t have sex. It was just sleep,” she explained.
“I bought a double-ended dildo today,” Eri said absently, staring at her steak. “You can have it, Reina.”
She pulled out an unmarked paper bag and placed it on the table. Risa shrank away from it, as though something would jump out of the bag to attack her.
“Kameha, why the heck did you buy that?”
Eri blinked, “The guy at the shop gave me a discount. It seemed like a good idea at that time.” Ai wheeled herself a little closer to the bag and reached inside, pulling out the pink silicon toy.
“What- they didn’t have it in purple?” Reina asked.
“I’ll get it exchanged for you tomorrow.”

Did you know: most all the medical jargon used here is google-ble. Although, they are not always accurate for ease of reading/writing.
-
yeah the last part made me laugh, capped the whole chapter on that one
-
Actually, Reina likes pink. XD She said so in the last Rokkies MC that she wants the pink that Sayu in hogging in the group. :P
All in all, a hilarious chapter from start to finish. XD Miki is so mean...but so wonderfully evil. :lol:
-
HAHAHA OMG! I was already having such a damn good day today, you just made it SO much better =D
Just as I imagined. Miki and Eri are absolutely AMAZING! It's just like...my god, i have no words. You depicted them EXACTLY as I thought. Perfect! Hands down my favorite combination. Sayu and Aya are a close 2nd, because lord knows we need more comedic relief in medicine AHAH
The whole showdown between Miki and Yossi. Man shit really hit the fan! I can't wait to see how everything plays out with AyaxMiki and Ishiyoshi. Really badly LOL You kind of led me to think that Yossi would wake up with Rika the next morning, but surprise surprise xD
You were RIGHT ON with surgery in the summer. A lot of incoming surgeons LOVE the winter/summer seasons. Accidents are abundant and it gives em a lot to do ahah always busy and they love the adrenaline rush xD
Totally laughed when Reina and Eri just went out with their confessions HA! Brilliant. That's how you spice up a boring convo xD I absolutely cannot wait for more!
-
Oh man, what a great way to end the day!
There's so much awesome here. A little innocent Reiki, Risa getting knocked down a peg, Miki abusing poor Eri, Takahshi on wheels! Barbecue. XD
-
POLL ANNOUNCEMENT:
Ah, yeah- I meant to do it earlier, but forgot. Though in ficverse, the selection of Chief Resident would be entirely up to their performance (and Nakazawa-san's bias). Here, you can vote, based on your own bias or evaluation of their performance. Bear in mind, Mikitty is not always going to be a pervy slacker and Rika's not always going to be that uptight- just keep watching and we'll see where the story ends up.
Senior Resident with highest votes wins. Least, leaves the hospital.
<Edit: and if you have a reason why, do let me know here.>
-----
And since i'm here, might as well reply to some of these.
kuro: it was the dildo, wasn't it? a well-placed dildo is always appreciated in humor.
essy: shit, you're right. the dildo was meant to be flesh-colored, but i was too lazy to write that in. maybe Sayu could steal it before Eri makes the exchange. then Reina could fight her for it in a 'who comes first' fic. I meant a footrace, not a perv.
kjpop: i thought Yossi would wake up with Rika too! damn.
rndy: everyone loves barbeque... right up until they smell their first third-degree burn. smells the same, actually- except without mesquite marinade.
-
suki: i worry for you. but i will throw in some wrenches in the works just to satisfy your need for drama.
nyaha.. thats alright.. XD craziness is fine too.. :grin: :grin: :thumbsup
i was internally squealing when i started reading that Reina woke-up with a Goto Maki draped across her :wub:. Reina wasn't the only one disappointed that they were fully clothed. :angry: :lol:
“This is the wrong one, Kame. I asked for ‘Ebony Trans Love’- go get that one for me.”
The intern looked close to tears as she clutched the glossy magazine, “But… they- they don’t have-“
“I want results, not excuses!!” Miki roared, as Eri shrank back towards the door, “And leave that one here!”
:mon spit: :hiakhiakhiak: :hiakhiakhiak: poor turtle.. evil miki --> :mikilaugh:
“Yoshizawa-san?” Ai wheeled herself into the break room, nervously glancing at her resident and her choice of reading material.
caught red-handed by her intern.. :lol:
“I bought a double-ended dildo today,” Eri said absently, staring at her steak. “You can have it, Reina.”
She pulled out an unmarked paper bag and placed it on the table. Risa shrank away from it, as though something would jump out of the bag to attack her.
“Kameha, why the heck did you buy that?”
Eri blinked, “The guy at the shop gave me a discount. It seemed like a good idea at that time.”
this is where i laughed the loudest.. laughing like a mad person.. :panic: :lol: :lol: that is soooo random?!.. i thought it was miki who asked her to buy it.. and then out of nowhere she offered it to Reina?!.. :rofl:
so the craziness has already begun.. XD i wonder if Yossy is right though, that Miki is holding back because of Aya.. :dunno: hmmmmmmm...
already excited for the next chapter.. :grin:
p.s. i voted for Miki and Maki.. ^^ Miki because it seems that she is the least expected to be the Chief Resident.. i always cheer for the underdog.. :D and Maki.. well, just because.. XD i really don't have any particular reason why..
-
o0o0o your poll =D
So I tried to think about it at 5AM this morning and i dont mind sharing it with others haha I decided that for some reason, I can't see Rika getting it =X Which led me to believe Yossi won't get it, for whatever reason LOL My thought process this early in the morning is nonexistent xD I think that those two will be a little more preoccupied in reviewing anatomy and physiology or something HO HO HO
so I thought maybe Aya or Miki. But I hope they end up doing some review as well LOL I'm terrible. So maybe Maki? I didn't even think about her LOL Brain fartsssss
-
Poor Eri, seems as though Miki is bothered by having to watch her after all :lol: Seems as though perhaps Miki's attitude has something to do with Aya, were they rivals, lovers or perhaps both in the past and does it explaing Miki's attitude a the moment.
Poor Aya having to deal with a very, um, attentive Sayu XD I think it was lucky she was holding that brain!
Hmm perhaps Maki and Reina are kindred spirits after all, seems as though Reina has all ready got a bit of a soft spot for Maki and Maki it seems is impressed by Reina's skill in detecting heart irregularities and perhpas she is also quite intrested in Reina.
Hmm, So Gaki seems to be a very good doctor, but a very good person on the ward?.... Seems as though Rika may of spotted this though, as she did with that paitent and scolded Gaki appropiatley.
Yossie is proper get up and go isn't she, she's one to get stuck in and it seems as though she expects Ai to do the same and anyone else who's in her care (Gaki in this case)
-
ropynyan: nyaaaaaanko! *ahem* well, that was about all I wanted to say. :P i fix it, k?
graaaaac ~ :mon inluv: Yes, fix it. Please. I will pretend that I didn't see that maybe *conveniently deletes it*
So now your making a pool, uh? I like it. But I think I'm going to wait a little longer to cast my vote. I'm sure about one person, but still not about the other one... so I'll wait to see who convinces me to gain my second vote. What is the deadline for it? And by the way, you are kidding, right? About the last leaving the hospital... because if not, we are gonna have a serious talk :ph43r:
But awww, isn't it wonderful? Look at how many people are totally hooked on this fic! That alone makes me happy. But updates make me happier :cow: and this one an amazing one. I read it late at night, yesterday, and this morning when I woke up, my family asked me "What the hell where you doing last night at God knows what hour laughing like a maniac?" :rofl:
I'll have to admit I didn't expect Reina to wake up all tangled up with Maki, at least, not yet. XD But I approve, I approve, I toootally approve it! I even squealed! So YAY, nice job there, little kitty :cow: Now you only have to become Maki's new jog partner and develop an interesting relationship who will made me suffer less when I think about how IshiYoshi was screwed up[/drama off]. Nah, seriously talking now. I want to know if this is going anywhere or it is just beginner's luck :lol: Lovely anyway, I'll fangirl it as long it lasts. And I love how sleepy Ayaya appears and kicks her out. Rivals sleeping together is always adorable (even if I have the feeling Aya didn't give a damn for who was sleeping also in her bed once she had space to sleep there herself). And I was talking with Bee about this the other day, the fact that with all that Aya/Maki rivalry going on I kinda wanted to see those two together for a little while... Ahh, but definitely Aya/Miki and Maki/Reina comes first in my priorities XD
It had to be absolutely the worst way to wake up, Yossi thought as she tried to extricate herself out of Nakazawa-san’s death grip on her torso. She never got used to the dread and terror she’d have to go through everytime this happened- taking a mental bodypart check to see if she’d been violated the night before.
This, this was the first thing that made me laugh like mad :rofl: Sooo much win! My poor little Yossie, I'm sure she would have liked better to wake up with Rika. But if there is one person I allow to wake up like this with Yossie (aside from Rika-chan, of course), is Nakazawa. She has the right of waking up wherever she wants and with whoever she wants. Always. And in the end no one was violated, right? So there, there, Yossie, it wasn't that bad. Maybe next time you'll be luckier...? XD
And there is, Ai-chan in her wheelchair, with Gaki... TakaGaki, even if is just appearing together in the nearly empty cafeteria, is niiice :heart: I know, I fangirl those two too much. And have ever Rika been late at anything in that hospital? She always is the first to be there, perfectly prepared and composed for whatever she has to do. That's our Charmy <3
ERI ID PASS! :rofl: Oh, boy I love this. The beggining of the hell for Eri. And the worse was yet to come. I pity her, really, but is just too funny to read those kind of scenes. Awesome duo, those two. I hope Eri can defend herself from all this, eventually. But for now, I like better like this. Sorry Eri :roll:
I love those little things like Rika / Risa interaction, by the way. Charmy teaching the proper way to be a nice doctor is wub <3 Not everything are numbers and data, remember that Gaki-san. I'm feeling like a bad person again, but I like when they are left frustrated like this in the beggining. I like frustrated Gaki and frustrated Ai the best... I'll wait patiently to see a frustrated Ai then <3
I already said up there but... Maki/Reina :wub: Do want! Impressed Maki calling Reina for her name is a good sign. You are making me want those together badly, so don't screw it up later! You're evil like that, I know. And I guess it isn't too difficult to find (it was like the first entry or so on google), but in case someone is interested but too lazy to search, I found this ejection murmur (http://www.cardiologysite.com/auscultation/html/ejection_murmurs.html) quite interesting. It has soouunnnd <3 Really, you even make me want to do some research grac. And I'm a lazy person for things like that. So yay for you. Now if you can make me equally interested in my exams... lol
The next part is probably one of the best in the whole chapter :rofl: Eri/Miki moments are automatically epic win. Poor Eri is going to become a regular at that sex shop at this rate. And what about that double-tall strawberry sprinkle mocha-nut mint latte? :lol: Really all those trans magazines during the whole scene where hilarous too. But oh-oh, what we have here, is not only hilarity. We have important information to speculate about! :ph43r: *inserts dun dun duuun music*
“Is this because you don’t want to compete with Ayaya?”
“The fuck?” Miki spluttered into her drink, and laughed. “What?”
Bullseye, Mikitty? You can laugh all you want, but we know that was a pretty close one, at least! :ph43r: Really, this raised so many questions... what happened between those two? There are more problems than I imagined at first. The drama unfolds slowly, and I looove it :heart: All that "What's with Aya and you" and "So what's with Rika and you then?" is awesome too. I love their interaction <3 And passive-agressive Mikitty rocks too! For some reason I know it's going to be Eri to pay later for Miki passive-agressive mood :rofl: So yeah, I want to know what happened. Tell us about it soon, please? :heart:
And talking about Ayaya.... poor her, with the nurses having fun at her cost that way. And Boss! She's here! Along with Masae! Bossssss :heart: Maasaeee :heart: Both of them being amazing :heart: And Sayu, of course. She's so cute, so excited with the surgery <3
If Aya’s hands weren’t occupied with the patient’s brain, she would’ve reached up to smack her intern.
:rofl:
Wonderful :heart:. No matter how many times I read it, I laugh. I guess I just love too much for my own good Aya getting annoyed by Sayu. Even she is all squeaky, she is very hardworking too. That made her even more annoying to her senpai sometimes I guess XD
The explanation of the summer chaos was so nice to read, specially to see Tsuji running around all excited like a little child on Christmas day. That another image that would be awesome to draw. Aah, what a nice, lively hospital we have here.
And the last part, with the happy meal in the cafeteria :rofl: Attention whore Sayu, middle traumatized by food Ai and Risa, very traumatized Eri and Reina just announcing "Hey people, I woke up with Gottsuan today! Jealous?". That what I call a succesful first day for all of them :rofl: I bet Eri was just buying extra stuff to avoid another trip to the shop. Or maybe she doesn't mind anymore, being all morning there. How many things she had to bought anyway? Evil Mikitty is evil. And Risa reaction to the dildo-bag was hilarous too. And Ai sure looked interested enough in it. Gosh, I couldn't stop laughing the whole scene :rofl:
maybe Sayu could steal it before Eri makes the exchange. then Reina could fight her for it in a 'who comes first' fic. I meant a footrace, not a perv
:rofl: :rofl:
Okay, I died only imagining that. How much more awesome can this fic be?
Keep the good work grac :heart: And as always, I'll be waiting eagerly for the next update :cow: Update soon ~<3 :cow:
-
Shige-san, name me five suctioning-induced traumas that could occur,” Aya barked.
To Sayu’s credit, she only paused for a second before launching into a clear and concise response to Aya’s question. The nurse nodded approvingly before passing the suction to her. “That’s pretty good, Dr. Michishige. Almost verbatim from the textbook.” “Mochiron!” Sayu smiled cutely.Again- Sayu captured perfectly....underneath that somtimes (frequent?) cloying cutesy persona is a really intellingent girl, but she never strays far from the cute....
I voted Maki and Aya for chief resident, as the natural tension between the two characters can create interesting story lines. Yossie and Charmy always have an interesting story line, so no need for them to take the chief resident spot.............
-
Of course....I'm voting for MIKI_SAMA!!! :yep: :yep: :yep:
well, uhm...yeah, I'm a kangoshi actually....i can't believe it myself either :lol: :lol: :lol:
Nice, so sayu was the first one to go to OR eh? :P and poor Eri but it was just so damn funny! :lol:

:onioncheer: :onioncheer: :onioncheer: :onioncheer: :onioncheer: :onioncheer: :onioncheer:
Okay, so finally making my post here. Well, I'm sure throughout our various crazy fangirling sessions, I've managed to get across to you in one way or another how I feel about this certain fic :love:
On Call... daisuki! :heart:
I actually hadn't started reading this until a few days after you posted the thread (on my birthday too! It was like an indirect birthday gift for me XDDD). When I clicked on the thread and came across the mother of all comments (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=27848.msg839216#msg839216), I was like... :OMG: must read must read must read NOW! And I did. Eventually (after I got over Ai-chan-is-going-to-graduate-depression). And I love it, to pieces. And I've been fangirling it to (and with!) ropychan all the time since. :bow:
Why On Call is awesome:
1) grac writes it
2) grac writes it
3) Huge cast, OGs, my OTPs!!!! = IshiYoshi, TakaGaki, hints of KameShige and of course, the MIKIERI THAT I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF. :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
4) grac writes it
5) MEDICAL DRAMA/CRACK FILLED WITH THE CUTEST BUNCH OF DOCTORS ON THE PLANET. And it's already epic. 'Nuff said.
Yup, this fic will be the fic I go to to use up all my fangirling energy; ropychan is already my fangirling partner for this, and with the fangirling marathons we've already had with you, grac, I am ALL THE MORE EXCITED about this. Seriously. The both of us are so happy to be your bouncing boards, you have no idea... <333
In typical Bee fashion, I'm always keeping a mental grasp on all the pairings and relationships. These are a BIG thing for me. Quick summary of what I think...
I s h i Y o s h i.
I've made myself pretty clear about how I feel about this pairing. I know that... the two of them are on a bit of a hiatus from each other... but I won't go into too much here. Besides, I think ropychan speaks for us all when she says:
Because you are going to fix it, right? Because you don't want to leave me all traumatized, right? RIGHT? :shifty:
:lol:
I love ropychan.
T a k a G a k i.
When are these two NEVER cute??? :wub:
There hasn't been enough interaction between them just yet (I have a feeling they wouldn't be able to provide as much crack potential :lol:), but they would be so so awesome for the slower, sweeter scenes. :heart: and just to contrast personalities like Miki and Eri XD
They have shown that they are very close and that they think very highly of each other (during the scenes of sewing up Ai-chan).
In a relationship yet? I'm not quite sure, but definitely close.
I'm looking forward to see what predicaments you'll be landing these two in ^_________^
K a m e S h i g e.
I can't say too much about this couple yet, can I? XD
Eri's been too busy dealing with that Miki monstrosity to do much else. E.g. be one half of KameShige.
But there will be. I'm sure . :hee:
G A M.
I'm not a fan, but I can fangirl.
You asked before if we thought these two were in a relationship, but I think no. I still think no. Not in a relationship, but I have this niggling feeling that Miki secretly harbours feelings for Ayaya... I've always gotten that sense when I think about the two together.
With that latest scene when Yossie was questioning what was going on between Aya and Miki, I'd thought at first she was simply referring to the competition between the two. But now that I'm reading it again... ??? Was Yossie delving into a lot more here? :? Hmmmm....
For now though, GAM can be neatly summarised with:
“I can’t believe that you,” Aya smacked Miki on the arm “Bet.” Smack. “Against.” Smack. “Me!” Smack. “And purposely delayed me just to win.” Smack. “We were supposed to go together!”
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
M a k i R e i n a.
As you know, I'm not much of a fan of either of these two, but I can see the appeal. ^__^
Reina idolises Maki, Maki is single and hot, MakiReina don't mind waking up in each others' arms after a drunken night, will love bloom here?
Their little moment together in the latest chapter was a pretty fun read though. XD
A y a S a y u.
We know these two together = conflict; a really good combination you've put here for some high class grac!crack :twothumbs
I wonder if and how these two will progress along with the story... I have a feeling they will be able to learn plenty from each other, and Ayaya will end up feeling a soft spot for Sayu. I'm sure there's much more to the bunny than her cuteyness. :nervous
We'll be having plenty of laughs with this pairing though, no doubt about it XD
M i k i E r i.
:k-inlove: :luvuluvu: :k-thrilled: :tama-lotsaluv: :tama-excite: :tama-apeshit: :tama-heart:
:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :mikilaugh:
*pats Eri soothingly*
That is all.
XD
Must now go through the chapters. <333
I'll try not to dawdle too much... but knowing me, this might take a while :sweatdrop:
Chapter 1: Morning Rush:
An intriguing start... you can tell already from this short snippet that this is going to be one crazy busy hospital... XD Already, such a sense of competition and subsequent mayhem... wasn't exactly sure what was happening (just a general sense of madness), but it all falls together in the end. :)
Rampant swearing from irate Masae, and Ayaya, very nice touches XD (can't get over the gif ropychan made you... and the shock of finding out what an awesome drawer she is <3).
I also really enjoyed the little details of demon Aya bike-pedalling-jamming-and-skidding-sideways, the trouble pair and their camcorder.. and of course::::
The first thing the frazzled duo noticed when they managed to squeeze in through the doorway at the same time, two abreast, was Ishikawa Rika on the couch, sipping on a cup of whatever like the goddamn queen of England, not a hair out of place. She eyed them with amusement and shrugged delicately.
My Charmy! :inlove:
She's not just the goddamn queen of England, she's the goddamn queen of the world!!!!! I mean, just look at the other two scuffling to get there, and she's already there, all laid-back and sipping on a cup of whatever. Charmy rules. :bow:
Anyways, great way to set up the story, grac :thumbsup
And upon discovering at the end there that it's THE NAKAZAWA who's chief, I rejoiced. :cow: :cow: :cow:
NOTICE
The Chief Resident position announcement will be deferred until whenever the hell I feel like it, pending further administrative deliberation.
:rofl:
^ Trademark Nakazawa attitude, FTW!
As long as there's Nakazawa, you know you're in for one good adventure. She's a character you just can't go wrong with. :pimp:
I like this Yuko verrrrrry much already. :inlove:
Chapter 2: Morning After:
I like the way you reveal a little bit more about the story and characters with every new chapter... I mean, it's something all of us fanfic writers should do, but a lot of us probably don't do it well enough xD
And the fact that you reveal these things through action and dialogue, rather than simply recounting or telling things - that's something I noticed right away. And something I should do well to learn from, in fact :thumbsup
Staff cafeteria... :grin:
This is the place I'm betting will house many awesome, cracktastic events to come... it's where all the girls gather, so it's got to be. Or maybe I should take a hint and look forward to the on call room crack :lol: Yes, I had to search up what 'on call' in relation to hospitals meant. Thank you for the learning inspiration. xD I'm sure I'll be picking up on a few terms here and there throughout this reading :heart:
“And, repaying my study loan is infinitely more important than loyalty."
XD
Last time I heard, it was Ayaya who was the lesser of the friends... lol. But okay, selfish Mikitty will be an delightful one to watch. :vv:
“Who’d get to read the announcement first. As though rushing to read it first changes the name on the notice.” Rika explained, with a disdainful sniff.
Kakkoiii Charmy :oops:
Now that I think about it, Rika wouldn't be such a bad candidate for Chief Resident, huh? :nervous
I'd really like to give her my one unused vote >______<
Glad to see somebody in the poll has faith in her XD
“That’s ‘cause its tradition.” Tsuji piped up. “I heard that during Yaguttsuan’s time, she installed latch bolts on the dorm doors in the middle of the night. The only reason why she lost was because Sayaka-san had camped out in the staff room overnight.”
:rofl:
Gosh, I can't even begin to imagine the chaos that 1st-2nd gen Momusu brought to the hospital... :lol:
And thank you for writing that little piece up too, it was ace. <333
I reckon you ought to give us more flashbacks like that. Would be fun to see how some of the traditions have come to be XD
And where is Sayaka-san now? :?
“Mm, ne?” Kaori cut into her omelette ‘with surgical precision’, her mind supplied cleverly.
:on lol:
Kaorin puns. OHMYGOD. xD
I can’t help but cringe and find that totally adorable at the same time! :mon inluv:
I think we'll be watching out for a Kaorin pun every chapter XD
“Alla you, shut up!” Nakazawa yelled, “One more complaint out of any of you, I swear I’ll name Kago-chan Chief Resident.
“Hmnh?” Kago looked up from her breakfast burrito, dropping bits of masticated meat and dough onto the table.
:rofl:
Awesome, Nakazawa threatening them all like that, it’s so funny XD
If only you'd given us the option of choosing Kago for Chief Resident! I would've picked her in a heart beat! XD
*Charmy & Yuko discuss change of specialty*
:shocked:
Well… I’d really like to think it’s because Rika loves kids (which is true, anyhow), and not because she feels she can’t shine with Ayaya next to her. +_____+
Maybe they can have a showdown Sukeban Deka style. :inlove:
Chapter 3: In the Pits:
Her eighth patient for the day was another hayfever-triggered asthma attack- Spring was winding down too slowly and the monotony of mild respiratory-related issues were eating at the adrenaline-driven surgeon. Winter was definitely her favorite season- icy roads, broken bones, ruptured spleens- Santa-san really came through last Christmas with that ten-car pileup, Tsuji recalled fondly.
I absolutely loved this image :k-inlove:
Tsuji thanking Santa-san for that misfortune is... hilarious. LOL.
I'm tempted to believe this is the result of a grac!cracked character, but it's true, right? Doctors enjoying the extreme seasons for the singular fact that they can get their hands busy XD
“Oh look, it says if we have something to do that they can’t tag along to, we can place them under the care of another senior resident.”
“Just for the record, Miki,” Maki said preemptively. “You’re not palming off your intern to me.”
The lot of them know Miki all too well, hey? XD
Miki. Can you be any more subtle? It’s giving me a tumour… :lol:
“Aw, look at the two of you, the old married couple divvying up household chores and babysitting duty.”
ISHIYOSHI! :luvluv2:
But even though Miki knows (or is it she doesn't???) they're on break from each other, she's still pestering them like that? xD
“Ooh- yes! I say 3 days. Either Miki bails out or her intern does.”
“Aya-chan!”
“Come on, you guys. Stop picking on Miki-chan.” Rika piped up. “Give her two weeks, at least.” Yossi burst out laughing uproariously at that and high-fived Rika.
They really don't have faith in Miki, do they? :lol:
You should have them pick on Miki more often, just so it balances out with Miki picking on Eri XD
It's always a joy to read these kinds of scenes!
“That the only way you’re leaving the surgical program was if you died of a horrible dismemberment. Simply dying wouldn’t work because she’d just resusticate you. She said, and I quote this verbatim: ‘Godhand Nakazawa has never lost a coding patient.’”
:lol:
Nakazawa Yuko quotes are just epic, time and time again.
And grac’s fics always compel me to go do research. I didn’t know what ‘coding’ patient meant… now I do. *Bee is happy to always be learning more English*
“Pediatrics is- I mean, isn’t it infinitely more challenging and rewarding all at once? To be able to treat and cure young lives with so much more ahead of them,” the young resident enthused passionately.
Awwwww, passionate Charmy makes my heart beat :luvluv2:
Pediatric Surgery, specializing in neurosurgery? Kaorin such a nice, caring senpai :wub:
Did you know: Med Students < Interns (Final Year Med Students/First Year Residents) < Residents (First half of residency) < Senior Residents (Second half of residency) < Attending (Completed residency) < Chief of Departments (Surgery, Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, etc.) < Chief of Staff < Tsunku?
^ Okay, you had me laughing so hard here. :rofl:
*Bee wipes away tears*
I vote to see Tsunku-san drop in sometime! Make him an almighty figure or a rolled-in comatose patient, do whatever you will with him. The crack levels can only increase with his appearance xD
Did you know snippets at the end are epic (and very informative, of course)! Please continue with them! :nya:
Chapter 4: Natsu Party
The chapter when GoRokkies appear! *Bee dances* :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow:
I would've been happy just knowing that this fic would feature the whole OG cast; but after discovering that they would be paired up with GoRokkies, I was completely STOKED! :w00t:
The whole Morning Musume house under one hospital roof. The idea just gets me so worked up!!!!!!!! :wub:
“Shit. This is like medical omiai.”
:rofl:
We all know what Yossie thinks about marriage… XD
*Bee adores grac’s sense of humour*
100 proof
^ I didn't know what that was XD
*Bee's researching skills put to use more vigorously than ever*
<<I’ll be there in 5 minutes. If I’m not, read this messsage again.>>
:lol: Smart. I gotta use that on my friends sometime… :w00t:
And I liked how Reina was able to deduce that Ai was angry just from reading that xD
Snatching Eri’s phone away from her, Reina snapped it shut and tossed it into a large bowl of salsa.
:stoned:
Wass Reina’s problem?!?!?! :sweatdrop:
That’s not even yankii anymore, that’s just evilllllllllll. And not the caring kind. >_____>
Eri fished her phone out out of the bowl and gave it a tentative lick.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Eri… daisuki!!!!!!!!!!
She’s so adorable and easy to pick on. I love. <333
“I think I just saw one of the new interns sucking salsa out of her phone’s receiver and then speaking into it.” Nacchi stared at the group of newbies incredulously.
“Excellent, there is hope for the younger generation then.” Yuko replied, sipping at her tea.
:lol: Yuko showing that she has amazingly high standards there, awesome.
I’m hoping for some Yuko/Eri scenes – they’re such a fun combination to watch. :hee:
And wow... Maki and Ayaya shameless much? This is why, I'd prefer everything just to fall under Miki's control :twisted:
Funny how Ayaya couldn't get her desired intern and got Sayu instead. xD I think it might be called karma.
Chapter 5: Everybody's got somebody, except Yossi
OGs meet their GoRokkies partners!!!! :wub:
You know, at first, I was nodding furiously with ropychan's predictions. But now knowing who's paired up with who, I just can't think of better combinations :mon inluv:
“Un.” Miki studied her intern, like she would a bug on a specimen dish. Eri gripped her glass with both hands and sipped at it, squirming under Miki’s gaze.
Eri is really beyond help. She can only pray to see the sunlight, and perhaps find the positivity and sunshine in her and her circumstances the way grac is easily able to do. <3
All I can do is wish her the best of… wedgies. XD
“It needed some watering down, I thought.” Nakazawa explained.
“You realize watering down the fruit punch doesn’t mean adding more vodka?”
Popping a can of peaches open, the Chief poured its entire contents into the bowl. “There. I fixed it.”
Yuuuuukooo…
:on lol: :on lol: :on lol:
She’s just got a way about things that makes her so charming, hey? ^___^
“Yeah. You were throwing your phone against the wall repeatedly, yelling ‘this is durable as shit’.” Aibon teased with a snicker.
OH MY GAH. I love you using references like that. Goddamit, has me cracking up every time!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
It was kind of awkward- they haven’t really been left alone together since the break-up… short break, Yossi corrected herself internally. Things had been incredibly amiable, they still had a great working relationship in and out of the hospital. Truth be told, they were doing the exact same things they were doing, months before the official ‘break’.
:fainted:
You WILL describe to us what happened, right? In detail? A lot of it?
Or do you think you already managed that with the mention of Lesbian Bed Death? =_________=
I am really, really, really hoping that IshiYoshi get back together. It's kind of unnerving to read through all this knowing that they're not... together. :cry:
Because this: :otomerika: always needs to be accompanied by this: :yossi:
Like so: :heart: :otomerika: :yossi: :heart:
*Bee awaits the fateful day when IshiYoshi run back into each other's arms*
Raising a bloodied hand weakly, her intern replied, “Hai, Takahashi Ai desu.”
OH MY AI-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!
First real Ai-chan appearance and you've already hurt her ;___________; evil, evil grac! :panic: :panic: :panic:
But I guess... the following scene more than made up for it. So sweeeet! TakaGaki, especially, but IshiYoshi too have proved to be such lovely, caring seniors. I can't imagine what Miki would do in such a situation... (or am I being too harsh on Mikitty? XD). Yah... Gaki-san being too nervous to work on Ai is so cute :heart: And Ai-chan jumping to her friend's defense to ensure the seniors have a good impression of her is even cuter :wub: :wub: :wub:
IshiYoshi + TakaGaki = worlds of love :nya: :wriggly: :luvluv2: :luvluv1:
In the wake of all that excitement, Yossi debated against going back to the party, but Rika was quite adamant about joining their colleagues. ‘To get blackmail material, if nothing else’, she reasoned.
:rofl:
Blackmail material, niiiiiiiice... :lol:
And that only works if you don't get piss drunk and forget everything. Poor Yossie. Why does it happen to her? Why not Rika? xD
Great chappie, so enjoyable!!! :thumbsup
Chapter 6: Learning Curve
My favourite chapter so far... when all the learning and relationships start :inlove:
*Reina wakes up in bed with Maki in Ayaya's room*
:shocked:
Whoa... how'd they end up there in Ayaya's room and where was Ayaya all night? :w00t:
Are we ever going to have some nice rewind-let's-see-what-happened-a-la-The-Hangover scenes? Maybe on the terror twin's camcorder :3 (Miki will enjoy that muchly xD)
I'd love to see those!!!! *_________________*
Since Reina and Maki don't really have any other prospective partners on the horizon, I'm okay with them getting together. Reina already showing signs she doesn't mind being with her sempai :oops:
All in all, not the worst walk of shame Reina’s had, she thought with a smirk.
She's that kind of girl? XD
I should've guessed.
It had to be absolutely the worst way to wake up, Yossi thought as she tried to extricate herself out of Nakazawa-san’s death grip on her torso.
:rofl:
Poor Yossie... it's always 'Poor Yossie'... that must be SO utterly terrifying, to wake up in a Nakazawa death grip.
Here Yossie has to lay still and wait for the alarm in Yuko death grip... whilst I remember the IshiYoshi ficlet of yours where Yossie had to lay still in the presence of a snoring Rika. The latter is so much cuter. :wub: Lol.
Rika invited the both of them to sit with her at the senior resident’s table. “It’s okay. The morning after a party, everyone tends to skip breakfast time,” she explained, motioning toward the quiet cafeteria.
Doesn't Rika drink? XD or is it that her alcohol tolerance is godly? ... I'm just kinda curious.. everybody else is waking up all over the place, Rika is such a picture of calm whenever we see her. A tad creepy, actually :lol:
I've always wondered about a drunk!Charmy; we've heard about her before in some recounts. She sounds epic, and would love to see that one day <333
and then Eri yelped, eyes wide, as she felt herself fondled and then firmly wedgied. It was too late to do anything about it short of pulling at her underwear in front of the Security guys.
First wedgie gift from Miki? xD
Too funny… Eri didn’t even have the mind to pull it out in her own privacy, she was that shocked :lol:
“Dr. Niigaki, for future reference, the patient’s name is not ‘43-year-old woman, progressive shortness of breath and chronic blackouts’. It’s Itou Yumi-san, and you would do well to remember that, and every other patient’s name from now on. Take a moment to find out before you enter their room and greet them by name.” Ishikawa’s voice was calm, but firm.
Awwwww… that’s the awesome Charmy sempai that we all know and love. :heart: maybe a little harsh, considering it’s the few first days and all, but at least we know the assertiveness will drive Gaki-san to do better. The bean will most definitely come to admire and appreciate her senior, no doubt about it. <3
*Maki & Reina team*
Ahhh, these two are really getting along well, hey? They're definitely one of the top pairs we've seen just in terms of getting along... xD
The patient cheered and Reina did a small victory dance.
“Well, Kata-san, maybe you shouldn’t cheer quite so enthusiastically about your condition."
^ Okay, that really had me rofling :rofl:
The things a cute doctor (http://img510.imageshack.us/i/reinadoctor5.jpg/) can do to you :heart: Hahahahaa....
“I want results, not excuses!!” Miki roared, as Eri shrank back towards the door, “And leave that one here!”
Eri threw the magazine onto the coffee table and all but fled the room.
Yossi picked up the magazine featuring a large-breasted, well-endowed shemale and flipped through it, tilting her head to figure out angles, “Why the hell do you even want these?”
“Maa. I figure it bothers her.”
MikiEri providing the most incredible crack... I'm so high on them... :bleed eyes:
Really, as much as I'm rooting for IshiYoshi, TakaGaki and KameShige, it's really all happening here. I CANNOT WAIT TO READ MORE OF MIKIERI. :bow: :bow: :bow:
Btw, why is Miki so evil? :lol: Deep down, I do have hope that she is like grac, that she is a caring kind of evil and this will eventually come to everybody's attention, especially Eri. I'm... I'm really okay if these two get together. I've secretly fangirled this rather obscure pairing since a long time ago... there's something really cute and charming about them :3
Miki sighed into the double-tall strawberry sprinkle mocha-nut mint latte Eri made for her, “What’s the damn point, Yocchan? We all know its going to be one of the wonder two. Or three. Your girlfriend is so passive-aggressive, I can’t even tell if she’s vying for the post at all.”
:lol:
All I could think here was poor Eri... *gives Eri comforting pat*
That Fujimoto is really shameless about taking advantage of the intern, isn't she? I wonder if Eri will at one point come out of her stupor and holler for some help. Maybe Nakazawa will take a liking towards Eri... I can see that! Eri had her with the tentative phone lick! :cow:
Also, Miki still refers to Rika as Yossie's 'girlfriend.' She called them an old married couple the other time too. Really makes me wonder; they took a break without letting anybody know? Nande? 'Coz they're really thinking of getting back together, right? :mon cute:
“Is this because you don’t want to compete with Ayaya?”
Ooooooooooooooo.... :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
Conflict alert... what really IS going on between the two anyway? MUST FIND OUT! :pleeease:
“You know Aya’s really good at what she does. I mean, she’s flying solo now and went straight into her specialty in her first year. Even Maki had to work the rotation trenches with the rest of us before becoming a cardiothoracic superstar. She’s not into the competition at all- not until someone incredibly competitive like Ayaya eggs her on.”
Nice parallels here with real-life H!P. Good stuff. :thumbsup
And again, I have to admire the way you reveal things through dialogue; not only does this move the story on whilst giving us important information, but we learn more about the characters and their relationships all the while. You do this SOOOO well. *Bee takes notes*
Yossie + Miki talks are always entertaining/thoughtful to read; I guess Yossie's just somebody Miki can get along with well and can't make too much fun of, hey? They're kind of on the same wavelength, and Miki sees and respects that. I haven't noticed, but I'm wondering if the Miki here likes to make fun of Rika? XD That would be fun to see... :heart:
Now, Michishige was staring closely at her every move, making small cutesy sounds from time to time when she was enraptured with something Aya was doing.
XD
That is so easy to imagine!!! This whole scene was really fun to read; Ayaya just barely able to stand Sayu and her extremely cute genius :inlove: hahahaa... these two are going to be a riot, second to MikiEri of course. :P
If Aya’s hands weren’t occupied with the patient’s brain, she would’ve reached up to smack her intern.
:rofl:
I would've liked to see Sayu's reaction to being smacked with a brain-smeared hand XD
Tsuji flew past them, a broad maniacal grin from ear to ear, “Ahhh~ it’s the smell of summer!” She was cradling an armfull of gel tubes and dressing, running as quickly as she could without dropping anything.
You write up the awesomest images, grac, complete with the awesomest details. This one was love. :wriggly:
“And then Nurse Saitou-san said I had a steady grip," Sayu continued, undeterred by the lack of attention.
GOSH, Sayu. XD This is where Gaki-san will be calling her the 'bigger ball-hog.'
“I bought a double-ended dildo today,” Eri said absently, staring at her steak. “You can have it, Reina.”
:OMG: :OMG: :OMG:
Wut? :rofl:
XD Eri is SO random. This was so random. I just couldn't believe how random this was, yet it just worked so wonderfully :heart:
The fact that Eri bought that of her own accord is even more ZOMGOSHHHHH. This turtle... :lol: I can only imagine her absent-mindedness becoming worse the more Miki picks on her... I'm horrified for Eri but at the same time, just can't wait to see what other stuff she's gonna be subject to :w00t:
ALRIGHT I’M DONE. I will never leave that many chapters to comment on again. And this was WAY too fangirly, gomen about that >___________<
All in all, you’re doing a marvellous job with the fic; it’s already given me so many laughs, and made me think and ponder and fangirl like mad. You already know that though. ^____^ Hehee…
Thanks so much for everything <3
I love On Call. :bow: :bow: :bow: I love grac. :bow: :bow: :bow:
Can’t wait for the next update!!!!! :heart:
-
suki: huh, a Reiki fan. Your disappointment has been noted and will be rectified. :)
kjpop: glad you gave so much thought to the poll- :lol: your brain farts are cute. Hopefully, they will all eventually be 'reviewing' each other soon.
oddy: "attentive" :lol: that's a really polite way to describe Sayu.
ropy: i always love your fangirling. knowing that you thoroughly enjoyed yourself is such a pleasure. nyanko daisuki!
muppet: I'm progressively beginning to enjoy writing Sayu. She really is a clever, reliable character and this contrast between her assumed persona and what she really is is interesting
dark: a nurse! Frickkin awesome! I didn't realize jphip had so many people in the medical line. (a little worried about accuracy now)
bee: jee- I mean, boy, that's a long response. :lol: I truly appreciate your effort, and i'm happy that you really enjoy it this much.
This comment should be tabbed as the Cliffs Notes version so far. you got it all so very organized with pairings, then individual chapters.
Notes:
- Bee thinks Takagaki may be hard to crack. This sounds like a challenge to me.
- GAM is :heart:, but I'm guessing that they will not hesitate to stab each other lovingly in the back for profit or a laugh. Is what i think.
- What's great about AyaSayu is that there really is no real-life precedent of any prolonged interaction. We'll just have to put their characters together in fiction and see what it results in. A little like chemistry.
- Sayaka may have transferred, following the completion of her residency. But may make a guest appearance. Doctors move around the hospital circuit all the time.
- Miki teasing Ishiyoshi: Fujumoto Miki-sama knows everything- how she chooses to deal with the information is her prerogative. I'm quite sure Miki and Yossi talk, it's just that miki doesn't GAF about social niceties.
- You noticed my omiai line! I loved it too.
- Consider this: if evil Reina wasn't evil, you wouldn't have been able to see Eri sucking salsa out of her phone's receiver. I like evil/drunk Reina- she is best friends with evil/drunk Yaguchi.
- "nice rewind-let's-see-what-happened-a-la-The-Hangover scenes"- maybe omakes?
Because I am :mon cold:, i will stop here.
Thank you ALL for reading and commenting and voting.
The Voting so far (don't plan to close it until i finish the major story arc)
GO! MIKITTY FOR CLASS PREZ 2011! Slutty nurse outfits for all!
Poor Ishikawa. But pity votes? Iranai!

Chapter 7: Summer Loving
“It’s summer, noon and we’re off-shift. What the hell are we doing freezing our asses off in the morgue?”
“Just ‘cause these are John Does don’t mean they can’t be prettied up.”
“Well, I don’t know about you guys but I’m wearing a bikini under my scrubs.”
Reina and Sayu turned to look at Eri, who was making tiny, neat sutures to close the gaping slash on the neck of her cadaver.
“Are you serious?” Reina pulled her surgical gloves off with a snap and moved towards Eri. “Lemme see.”
“Don’t you dare undress me without scrubbing first,” Eri warned.
Sayu was bent over her own cadaver, a hit-and-run victim, “Why are you wearing a bikini, Eririn?”
“I missed laundry day twice and I don’t have clean underwear. Gaki-san used to do the laundry when we were roomed together. Having a single sucks.”
“I love my single,” The first thing Sayumi did when she moved in to her private qurters was to repaint the room pink. “Not needing to share a room and laundry days with Okada-san has done wonders for my sanity and boob confidence.”
Reina sighed, “That’s all the patience I have for suture practice today. I’m gonna go upstairs and check the board- maybe there’s something interesting Gottsuan’ll ask Reina to scrub into.”
“You’re so lucky.” Sayu lamented, “ Nowadays, Dr. Matsuura doesn’t even allow me to scrub in unless I’ve recited to her every procedure in the book relating to the surgery. And she actually threw me out of the OT once because of my pink usa-chan scrub cap. I think she’s just jealous ‘cause I’m cuter than she is.”
“That’s nothing,” Eri mumbled, “I’m Fujimoto-san’s personal assistant, read: sexually-harrassed indentured slave- all I do is get her coffee, meat and porn, in that order. Plus, she wedgies me after I’m scrubbed in so I can’t so anything about it until after the surgery.”
“You guys, it’s depressing enough being down here. I don’t need to hear your sob stories on top of that.” Reina slid the drawer close and sterilized her instruments. “I’m going. See you at dinner, maybe.”
“Bye, Reina. I hope you scrub into something good.” Eri waved at Reina as she exited the morgue.
“I’m done here too, Eririn.”
“Please don’t leave me here alone.”
“This isn’t an obake yashiki- you don’t have anything to worry about,” Sayu laughed lightly as she turned off the light above her workstation.
Eri whimpered dismally, hands less steady, as she shakily pulled the ragged edges of fragile tissue close. “Sayuuu~!”
Her friend giggled and leaned against her, “Uso datta, Eririn. I’ll help you finish up.”
The two girls worked together in comfortable silence, lit by the lone hanging lamp that threw long shadows which melded into each other across the checkered morgue floor.
-----
A giggle woke Kaori and she fought to regain conciousness. Paper? Running her hands up her torso she felt small pieces of paper covering every inch of her body from the neck down. She reached up to peel a post-it from her forehead, which was obscuring her vision. Through sleep-blurred eyes, she squinted to read the note:
“You looked cold, so we decided to make you a blanket out of sticky notes. Chuus, nono to aibon.”
Sitting up on the on call room couch, she stretched and pieces of yellow sticky notes detatched from her body, fluttering onto the floor. As she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, she picked up a post-it with a heart drawn on it and smiled.
She made a mental note to speak with Nacchi regarding her wayward new attending’s workload. Tsuji was assigned to Yaguchi, so she knew the girl was whipped and worked over hard by the Tiny Terror of the Trauma Unit. God knows where the two girls found the time and energy to be doing all the shit they pull around the hospital.
She passed the whiteboard in the emergency ward hallway and noted that Yaguchi wasn’t the surgeon on duty. Studying the busy, but organized activity in the emergency room, she observed as Yossi calmly directed her noticably tense intern to increase the pressure on a bleeder’s wound.
Kaori found Yaguchi bent over some paperwork in her office, earphones as huge as her head over her ears, head-bopping away to some music which appeared to have a catchy rhythm. She picked up another ballpoint pen and started energetically tapping out the climax, eyes closed tight.
“Yeah!” She yipped and shook her head from side to side, caught up in her listening.
“Yaguchi,” the Chief of Surgery called from behind her. “Oi, Yaguri!” Stepping into the room, she knocked the headphones off the tiny attending’s head. The sound of heartbeats filtered tinnily through the earpieces.
“Yah! You scared me, Kaorin!”
“Nandeyanen?” Iida gestured towards the muted heart sounds.
“It’s good practice for cardiac cases,” Yaguchi smiled happily, still bopping away vaguely.
“Ah, yes. It's good to learn all the different sounds by heart.”
“Tch. What is it with these puns? Some quota you have to fill?”
Kaorin just looked pleased with herself, “Mm. Anyway, I need to talk to you about Nono.”
A more serious look crossed Yaguchi’s face, “What’s that monster done now? Was it last week’s party? I told her to remove every last bit of dried squid from the laundry room dryers. “
“No, it’s not that. But she didn’t do that good of a job, by the way. I keep passing people in the hallway and smelling squid.”
“This is why I send my clothes to the laundromat. I don’t trust the laundry room here.”
“That’s because you used to put pizza slices into the dryers.”
Yaguchi grinned, with a faraway nostalgic look in her eyes, “Ah~ pizza.”
“Anyway,” Kaori snapped her back to the present. “You need to sit on Tsuji ‘til she coughs up a specialty. She seems to like Trauma- do you think you can take her under your wing?”
“How would that be different from now?” Yaguchi said reluctantly.
“Well, her performance will be directly linked to your own appraisals, for one.”
“Oh, God.”
“Yeah, Yuu-chan thinks it’s a good idea too.”
-----
Maki was already halfway through a surgery, too late for Reina to join in. The intern watched Maki instead from the observation deck above the operating room, fascinated by the rare sight of the cardiothoracic surgeon stressed out. The patient had coded once already and Maki was literally holding his fragile heart and massaging life into it.
‘I wonder what it would feel like to have her hold my heart in her hands.’ She shook her head, blushing slightly, ‘Did I really think something that lame?’ She made up for her moment of girly weakness by glaring at a guy who was staring at her.
Directing her focus back to the surgery below, Reina watched the delicate procedure intently, but turned her thoughts to this morning- she’d once again, for the fifth time (in as many days, her mind supplied helpfully) woken up with Maki.
There would either be a late surgery, or a patient that needed close observation, getting caught up with revision or some reason or other. One of them would fall asleep first, then the other, loathe to wake her, would let her sleep and they’d inevitably end up waking up together the next morning.
It never got awkward- there was no blushing or stammering as they disentangled themselves from each other. Maki would give her a sleepy smile and they’d go wash up and get breakfast together.
Personally, Reina was pretty overjoyed by the connection they seem to be forging. It was no secret that she idolized the senior resident, but she knew it was probably a bad idea to get involved with her supervisor. Reina found herself wondering what the enigmatic surgeon thought about their sleeping arrangement.
‘Tonight, I will go back to my room and sleep.’ Reina resolved sternly. She hadn’t quite unpacked in her new single quarters since her first day- seeing as how she’d been waking up everywhere else but her own bed.
“Great job, everyone.” Maki’s voice came through the speakers in the obervation room. Reina turned her attention back down to the operation theater and saw Maki looking up at her, eyes crinkling into a smile, hidden behind the mask. Grinning back, Reina flashed a thumbs up at the surgeon and saluted cutely with a wink. Maki jerked her head to indicate the exit and made her way over to scrub out.
Making her way to the operating room, Reina greeted the surgical team as they exited, “Otsukareina!” Dr. Masae gave Reina a fistbump as she passed, her shock of pink hair unrulier than usual after being released from her scrub cap.
Maki smiled as she saw her intern waiting. “I thought you were off today, Reina?”
“Yeah, but I got bored. We were hanging out downstairs in the morgue. The open chest cardiac massage was really cool!” Reina enthused.
The cardiacsurgeon bounced a little beside her and smiled broadly, “Deshou? Let’s go out and celebrate!”
Reina’s steps faltered slightly, “Uh, I can’t. I mean, we can go out- but I need to go unpack my room tonight.”
A look of confusion crossed Maki’s face, “Okay, I guess. What does that have to do with going for dinner and drinks?”
Obviously, her senpai did not think anything about them having spent every waking and sleeping moment together the past week, so Reina let it slide. She linked her arm with Maki’s and made their way to the lifts.
-----
Miki slipped out the side door and made her way outside to the small garden beside the hospital- the staff hung out there at during their breaks sometimes to study or sleep. It was nice to be outdoors, away from the sterile atmosphere of their workplace.
“Ah, Mikitty,” Kago greeted Miki as she ambled out towards them. Tsuji looked up from the textbook on her lap and gave her a vague wave before returning to her studies.
“Where’s your intern? Don’t tell me you’ve ditched her already?” Kago asked as she lit up another cigarette. Miki snatched the cigarette from Kago’s lips and took a drag. The internist (not to be confused with an intern) glared at Miki, ”What the hell?”
“It’s her day off- is everyone in on this stupid bet?” Miki groused.
“I thought you quit smoking, Miki-chan?” Tsuji asked.
“Preventive oncology- my new sub-specialty. I’m curing cancer by smoking every stick I come across.”
“TAN!”
“Oh, shit.” Miki tossed the cigarette into the bushes and whirled around to see Aya coming around the corner.
“I saw that. Are you smoking again?”
Kago and Tsuji wisely fled the scene, leaving the two bickering friends behind.
Miki crossed her arms defensively, facing Aya. “You’re not my mother, Aya.”
“You’re a doctor…”
“Oh, come off it. I don’t need a ‘you know better’ lecture- especially not from you.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Aya crossed her arms, a perfect reflection of Miki’s stance.
“It means I’ve been noticing the self-prescriptions and rampant pill-popping, is what.”
“Oh, we’re noticing me now? I thought you’ve stopped caring entirely.”
They looked at each other for a long moment, exhaled as they softened their stance and took a seat at the bench Kago and Tsuji had vacated.
“Sorry, Aya-chan. I’ve been heading code team duty all morning- lost every single one. I feel like the angel of death.”
“That’s okay, I understand.” Aya rested her head on Miki’s shoulder, entwining their fingers together.
“Aya, what the hell is with the pill-popping? I mean, I understand the occassional need to, but even th’ nurses are talking about it.”
“I’ve been having headaches. They were prescribed to me and I don’t take any more than I need to.”
Miki patted Aya’s head gently, “You’re pushing yourself too much, Aya-chan. You need a break.”
Silence filled the space save for the rustling of the trees as a breeze blew through the clearing.
“What was that about preventative oncology? Are you thinking about doing that?” Aya asked.
“Naw- me and Yocchan are just seeing how long we can drag on this gag ‘til Nakazawa-san string us up by the balls. She’ll probably get us drunk and sign off on the form- and I’ll wake up the next morning in the baby ward wearing pink with an OBGYN behind my MD.”
Aya laughed, “I’d like to see you in pink scrubs. You’d look really cute.”
“Ugh. I think the worst part about that is that me and Ishikawa would end up in matching colors.”
“Yeah, isn’t it great for Rika-chan, though? I had no idea she was interested in pediatrics. I’m going to scrub in to the latest case she’s heading up. Four years old, brain tumor, it’s going to be my first time assisting in a peds surgery!”
Miki smiled, “You’re so cute when you get excited about cutting.”
“When was the last time you got excited about a surgery?” Aya asked gently. It was a loaded question that could potentially set Miki off- she’d either go on the defensive by blowing up or just brush it off.
“There was last month with that gravure idol’s appendectomy- she was hot!” Humor, of course, Aya sighed, there was that.
“You really have to stop asking your patients out.”
“What? Never on the first consult, I always say,” Miki laughed. “I wait ‘til the second or third follow-up, at least.”
“So bad.” Aya smacked her friend on the shoulder. “Well, I hate to love you and leave you, but I need to go check on my post-ops now.”
“Okay- I think I’ll hang out here a little while more. I’ll see you at dinner, Aya-chan.” Miki watched pensively as Aya headed back into the hospital. She pulled out her well-thumbed copy of ‘The Ultimate Guide to Choosing a Medical Specialty’ and continued reading.

Due to the lack of crack in this chapter, here's:
Chapter 8 Preview
“You don’t have to be so worried, Gaki-san. I’m perfectly fine today.” Ai said hoarsely, resting her head on her arms at the breakfast table.
Risa continued petting her friend’s head with one hand, clutching a paper bag with the other. “Of course I’m concerned, Aichan. You were really out of it last night.”
“You were screaming ‘won’t you take me to funky town’ over and over again at the top of your voice.” Eri laughed.

Did you know: Code Teams are the group of people that run around with the crash cart trying to resuscitate people who've flatlined. Almost 95% of the time, it would've been too late already. This titbit is brought to you courtesy of Grey's Anatomy.
-
I was smiling through pretty much the whole chapter, but there were a few golden moments I thoughts worth quoting.
“Are you serious?” Reina pulled her surgical gloves off with a snap and moved towards Eri. “Lemme see.”
“Don’t you dare undress me without scrubbing first,” Eri warned.
Not a "Don't touch me!" But a "Wash your hands first!" :lol: :lol:
“You looked cold, so we decided to make you a blanket out of sticky notes. Chuus, nono to aibon.”
The Two Top are awesome! XD XD
“Tch. What is it with these puns? Some quota you have to fill?”
I think maybe Yuko has written it into her job description. :lol: XD
‘I wonder what it would feel like to have her hold my heart in her hands.’ She shook her head, blushing slightly, ‘Did I really think something that lame?’ She made up for her moment of girly weakness by glaring at a guy who was staring at her.
ReiKi is :heart:
“Preventive oncology- my new sub-specialty. I’m curing cancer by smoking every stick I come across.”
Terrible! XD XD XD
“You were screaming ‘won’t you take me to funky town’ over and over again at the top of your voice.” Eri laughed.
I can't wait for the next chapter. :lol: :lol: :lol:
All the member(doctor?)love was awesome, of course. Love those little interactions.
-
Eri missing laundry day= normal
Miki trying to do right= brilliant
Good chapter
-
OWww...Miki-sama's whipped with Aya-chan..... :P likey that one :lol:
still poor Eri eh? :smhid when would Miki-sama take her seriously :?
i want to see Sayu rile up Aya in OR again :twothumbs
All in all, great update Author-san :thumbup
-
“You looked cold, so we decided to make you a blanket out of sticky notes. Chuus, nono to aibon.”
Sitting up on the on call room couch, she stretched and pieces of yellow sticky notes detatched from her body, fluttering onto the floor. As she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, she picked up a post-it with a heart drawn on it and smiled.
She made a mental note to speak with Nacchi regarding her wayward new attending’s workload. Tsuji was assigned to Yaguchi, so she knew the girl was whipped and worked over hard by the Tiny Terror of the Trauma Unit. God knows where the two girls found the time and energy to be doing all the shit they pull around the hospital.
Mini Moni Magic Made into Medical Moments.......
-
Learned a bit more this chapter..
seems as though Aya is not the perfect image of a doctor that she is made out to be... pill-popping hmm
and Miki may also not be the layabout she wants to be like, seems like she is more than that
on other notes. Eri can't wash, though there may be benefits to that! (bikini? :lol: ) Sayu likes pink...... :smhid and that, when pushed Reina will come up with cheezy thouts about Maki 'holding my heart in her hands' honestly..... :P
-
Ok first off HIGH FIVE! You're really great at incorporating the girls' personalities from H!M and stuff like that into this fic. It's so well done!
Eri's demise under Miki is so freakin' amazing. If you weren't so great at crackin' up every other character in this fic, I'd have to say Miki/Eri crack duo wins the contest hands down.
Mini Moni in the hospital has to be the most brilliant and terrifying thing on the planet. OH GOD I HOPE MY RESIDENCY WILL BE THAT EPIC AHHAHA
I don't know what to think about Reina/Maki yet. That's not a bad thing I swear LOL I just dont know what to think xD
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE THAT MAKES MIKI SMOKE <3 Ok seriously, I love it. It's a terrible thought and shame on me for thinking so, BUT SOOO HOT <3
Plus, Ayaya confrontation with a side of making fun of Rika? Excellent.
I absolutely cannot WAIT for the next chapter...Ishiyoshi please? LOL There was a painful lack in this one XD I kind of cried a little.
-
Sorry for the delay in commenting grac... after that fretful 30th of Jan, I did need a rest like you guessed :lol:
And then job hunting happened. :banghead:
But here I am, so ready to comment and read another chapter!!!!!!! :w00t:
:pepper: :taco: :muffin: :strawberry: :leek:
bee: jee-
:mon annoy:
I mean, boy, that's a long response. :lol: I truly appreciate your effort, and i'm happy that you really enjoy it this much.
:mon pick:
This comment should be tabbed as the Cliffs Notes version so far. you got it all so very organized with pairings, then individual chapters.
Haiiiiiiiiii :mon fyeah:
Again, I was very happy to hear that you enjoyed my comment, and that it... well... all the stuff you said on skype. Shouldn't be digging up too much now :nervous
Oooooo. I'd love to see TakaGaki cracked, GAM lovingly stabbing each other in the back and AyaSayu chemistry :w00t:
And the OMAKES. :bow:
Onegaishimasu! :bow:
CHAPTER 7:
:wriggly: :nya: :k-inlove: :luvuluvu:
Another wonderfully entertaining chapter~! :luvluv2: We're getting to see bits and pieces of what's going on in the hospital, but it makes me wonder when you're going to establish a more solid storyline (or should we call that a story arc? xD). I'd love to see some major hospital drama that'll involve all the girls; you'll be able to develop the characters (and their relationships, more importantly xD) through some action and suspense that'll shake all of them! :on woohoo:
Ahhhh, the first part was love. :heart: ROKKIES. KAMESHIGE. BIKINI ERI. YAY. <3
I loved the interaction between them here. So Reina. So Sayu. So Eri. Gyaaaah, I don't know how you do it, grac... I mean, you say that you're much more of an OG person and that you don't know the 'current' (so to speak) girls so well, but then what the hell are you doing here writing them so nicely =_______=
“It’s summer, noon and we’re off-shift. What the hell are we doing freezing our asses off in the morgue?”
“Just ‘cause these are John Does don’t mean they can’t be prettied up.”
“Well, I don’t know about you guys but I’m wearing a bikini under my scrubs.”
^ We don't even need the subjects tagged and we already know who's saying what. :mon inluv:
That tells us you're doing an mad job of writing! Bee approves! :on GJ:
“Are you serious?” Reina pulled her surgical gloves off with a snap and moved towards Eri. “Lemme see.”
“Don’t you dare undress me without scrubbing first,” Eri warned.
:lol:
Kamei, you are SUCH a weirdo. I LOVEEEE!!!!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:
“Not needing to share a room and laundry days with Okada-san has done wonders for my sanity and boob confidence.”
LOL, there Sayu goes again :roll:
At least there's something about her she doesn't find cute? XD
"And she actually threw me out of the OT once because of my pink usa-chan scrub cap. I think she’s just jealous ‘cause I’m cuter than she is.”
AyaSayu conflict, WELCOMED!
:welcome
Sayu will now be forever oblivious to the fact that Aya is actually NOT jealous of her uber cuteness. The thought amuses me to no end. XD
“That’s nothing,” Eri mumbled, “I’m Fujimoto-san’s personal assistant, read: sexually-harrassed indentured slave- all I do is get her coffee, meat and porn, in that order. Plus, she wedgies me after I’m scrubbed in so I can’t so anything about it until after the surgery.”
:rofl:
A day in the life of Intern Kamei Eri... poor, poor Eri. :lol:
Does Miki really have to make life so hard for her??? (I mean, especially after she's scrubbed in and so much better off wedgie-free?). Give the intern a break, she's new and inexperienced and causing her that much stress isn't such a bright idea... what am I saying, I'm lovin' the Eri-bullying >____<
“Please don’t leave me here alone.”
Eri whimpered dismally, hands less steady, as she shakily pulled the ragged edges of fragile tissue close. “Sayuuu~!”
Her friend giggled and leaned against her, “Uso datta, Eririn. I’ll help you finish up.”
:kneelbow:
For the KameShige. :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
That is unbelievably cute!!!! :cow: :cow: Gyaaahahahahah!!!!!! :panic:
:heart: :love: :wub:
“You looked cold, so we decided to make you a blanket out of sticky notes. Chuus, nono to aibon.”
:rofl:
The two troublemakers making the most of post-its. And the fact that Kaori didn't show any signs of annoyance, just smiled at a :heart: post-it. Ahhhhh, so adorably funny!!!! :k-inlove:
Tiny Terror of the Trauma Unit
OH OH OHHHH!!!!
What a title to conjure an equally awesome image... I think this is something ropychan could draw up! :inlove:
:wriggly:
“Yeah!” She yipped and shook her head from side to side, caught up in her listening.
....
“It’s good practice for cardiac cases,” Yaguchi smiled happily, still bopping away vaguely.
:rofl:
The fact that Mari was bopping away to 'music' already had me chuckling... but to the sound of heartbeats????? *Bee falls to the floor laughing*
“Ah, yes. It's good to learn all the different sounds by heart.”
:lol:
:onioncheer: YATTA FOR KAORIPUNS :onioncheer:
I hope one day, somebody won't 'tch' her and offer a laugh instead. Or is it enough for Kaori to slide in a pun per day to feel accomplished? XD
Maybe one of the GoRokkies can show appreciation? xD I can imagine Ai-chan laughing, that dorkus. :lol:
“That’s because you used to put pizza slices into the dryers.”
Yaguchi grinned, with a faraway nostalgic look in her eyes, “Ah~ pizza.”
:rofl:
OG chaos... *Bee daydreams*
Omakes, please? ^____^
“You need to sit on Tsuji ‘til she coughs up a specialty. She seems to like Trauma- do you think you can take her under your wing?”
MINI MONI IN DA HOSPITAL. :lol:
I can't wait for Tsuji to make it a part time job to bug the hell out of Yaguchi. :twothumbs
And hmmmm... about the REIKI that's going on... I'm quite enjoying it, to my surprise XD It's rather light and cute; Reina's undeniable crush, Maki's going along with it all very calmly and unbothered... :oops: (and wow, she really is a hard one to interpet... what is she thinking? Being extra smiley/friendly out of pure goodwill and etiquette?). I'm sure ropychan, who's made it quite explicit she approves of this couple, has enjoyed this particular scene very much too xD Will Reiki be enough to fulfil us somewhat since we're both suffering from major IshiYoshi withrawal??? Hmmm... I highly doubt it (I expect TakaGaki to do a better job of that :thumbsup), but let's see where you take this. :w00t:
‘I wonder what it would feel like to have her hold my heart in her hands.’ She shook her head, blushing slightly, ‘Did I really think something that lame?’ She made up for her moment of girly weakness by glaring at a guy who was staring at her.
This was such a good mixture of awwwww :wub: and XD :lol: ...
I guess Reina wouldn't be the Rokkie to laugh at Kaorin's puns then, they? :P
Reina's girly weakness and her acknowledgement of it is so adorableeeeee :mon lovelaff:
She's sure thinking a lot about the fact that the two of them are waking up next to each other with alarming frequency... which again, makes me wonder what the HELL is Maki thinking?? I've hardly a clue, and I wonder if the other readers are making assumptions already... :? hahahaa... you're keeping Maki mysterious on purpose, aren't you? :P And then you're probably going to drop a bomb on us, like the (caringly) evil person that you are... *Bee sighs*
It never got awkward- there was no blushing or stammering as they disentangled themselves from each other. Maki would give her a sleepy smile and they’d go wash up and get breakfast together.
^ That is uber cute to picture.... :wub:
Although, with Reina now overthinking it, there might be some blushing and stammering in the near future... :grin:
She hadn’t quite unpacked in her new single quarters since her first day- seeing as how she’d been waking up everywhere else but her own bed.
I don't mind saying it again - oh, so Reina's that kind of girl... :grin:
Reina turned her attention back down to the operation theater and saw Maki looking up at her, eyes crinkling into a smile, hidden behind the mask. Grinning back, Reina flashed a thumbs up at the surgeon and saluted cutely with a wink.
You're making me like them more with every passing sentence.... :shy2:
Maki is the ONLY person you'd see Reina acting like that with, hey? Hahhahaa. What an amusing yankiii *pats Reina's head*
Oh oh oh! I loved the next bit! Any scene that features the name 'Miki' automatically sets my heart racing with anticipation! XD
And unlike the Maki I was talking about, we get to know a little bit more of Miki with every scene that she stars in (not that there's much else to know or learn about, besides the fact that she's the most hilarious tyrant, like, ever :on lol:).
Kago asked as she lit up another cigarette.
:OMG:
Well... you know what I think about cigarettes... bad girl, Kago!!!! >_________< And we already know what this is doing to her. Is going to do to her. YOU EVIL PERSON, GRAC. :tama-mad:
“I thought you quit smoking, Miki-chan?” Tsuji asked.
“Preventive oncology- my new sub-specialty. I’m curing cancer by smoking every stick I come across.”
“TAN!”
“Oh, shit.” Miki tossed the cigarette into the bushes and whirled around to see Aya coming around the corner.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I love that no matter how high and mighty Miki may make herself out to be (or just is), Ayaya effortlessly comes breezing by and it all changes in an eyeblink. Miki is just one SUCKER for Aya, isn't she??? xD And the more I think about it, the more I come to love GAM. :luvluv1: They really do just go hand in hand with each other.
So, a bit more revealed about the both of them...
“It means I’ve been noticing the self-prescriptions and rampant pill-popping, is what.”
“Oh, we’re noticing me now? I thought you’ve stopped caring entirely.”
I hope Aya is okay? ;____; hope she isn't pushing herself too hard... I mean... when Miki ends up being Chief Resident... how is she going to deal with that? >___> Oh gawd, I hadn't considered that before. :badluck:
And yahhhhh. Must ask again: anything happened between GAM before all this?
“Sorry, Aya-chan. I’ve been heading code team duty all morning- lost every single one. I feel like the angel of death.”
“That’s okay, I understand.” Aya rested her head on Miki’s shoulder, entwining their fingers together.
Awwwww~ rare flashes of humility from Miki (considering what she ends up saying about dying patients in the next chapter XD). I love them. :love:
And sweet, sweet GAM. :tama-heart: *Bee reaaaally likes*
“Naw- me and Yocchan are just seeing how long we can drag on this gag ‘til Nakazawa-san string us up by the balls. She’ll probably get us drunk and sign off on the form- and I’ll wake up the next morning in the baby ward wearing pink with an OBGYN behind my MD.”
Aya laughed, “I’d like to see you in pink scrubs. You’d look really cute.”
“Ugh. I think the worst part about that is that me and Ishikawa would end up in matching colors.”
:mon lmao: (even though Bee doesn't understand the 'OBGYN behind my MD' bit)
Fujimoto-san and Ishikawa-san both in pink = Charmikitty yayness :wub: :inlove:
I love that she's still picking on Charmy~ XD
Also, I love how much the name Nakazawa is feared, revered and poked at, all at the same time. So amusing. :mon star:
Miki smiled, “You’re so cute when you get excited about cutting.”
:lol:
Where else would you hear such romantic words? :D
“When was the last time you got excited about a surgery?” Aya asked gently. It was a loaded question that could potentially set Miki off- she’d either go on the defensive by blowing up or just brush it off.
“There was last month with that gravure idol’s appendectomy- she was hot!” Humor, of course, Aya sighed, there was that.
I love the subtle insights you give us. Miki is a great character, there's so much you could write about her, so much to delve into and explore... she's just passing off jokes to avoid an issue that she's secretly having? Has surgery become monotonous for Miki, something she no longer feels heart-racing passion for? Did something GAM happen here? :mon huh2:
Questions, questions...
Miki watched pensively as Aya headed back into the hospital. She pulled out her well-thumbed copy of ‘The Ultimate Guide to Choosing a Medical Specialty’ and continued reading.
^ What I said above. Getting to see the different shades of Fujimoto-sama. This kind of Miki is truly endearing :heart:
YAY!!!!
Thank you so much for this chapter, grac, so so goooood :heart:
I'm looking forward to the next!!!! xD :heart:
-
rndy: Yes, Reiki is. :)
kuro: Mikitty is always trying to do right, don'tcha know?
dark: i can't wait for the AyaSayu blowup either!
muppet: :lol: brilliant alliteration. That should be the title of a whole 'nother fic in itself.
oddy: :) really, who wants to see a doctor edition of a Momusu swimsuit calendar? *raises hand* I'd pay good money for Eri bikini + labcoat + stethoscope photos.
kjpop: high five back! I have many people baying for ishiyoshi, but it just seems like they're fated never to appear in the same scene for at least a few more chapters. So, I compromise here, below.
bee:
Sayu will now be forever oblivious to the fact that Aya is actually NOT jealous of her uber cuteness. The thought amuses me to no end.
This? Became this:-
”And you’re just jealous because I’m much cuter than you!”
“Are you kidding me? I’m definitely cuter. Tan, tell her!” Aya whirled to face her friend. Miki was just staring at Aya with a repulsed look as though she’d tasted something bad. It took Aya all of three seconds to come to facepalming realization at what just came out of her own mouth.
“Sayumin is cutest, mon!”
Something inside Aya snapped at that and Miki, in a rare moment of humanity, decided to physically restrain her best friend before she assaulted her intern. Hopefully, this was in plain view of the security cameras and she could get a copy of the survellience tape to laugh at later.
:P
So, thanks for being my muse.
The fact that Mari was bopping away to 'music' already had me chuckling... but to the sound of heartbeats????? *Bee falls to the floor laughing*
You've watched the H!M Bus Stop Gekijos? I laugh at that part all the time- it never gets old.
...makes me wonder what the HELL is Maki thinking?? I've hardly a clue, and I wonder if the other readers are making assumptions already... hahahaa... you're keeping Maki mysterious on purpose, aren't you?
Maki? Mysterious? Really? You know, despite that cool chara, Maki's thought patterns are usually "Food- mm, good", "Sleepy- warm cute girl pillow- good", "Solo career- limelight- good". Not a whole lot to decipher, is my personal opinion. But I can see how her indifferent facade can fool people.
(even though Bee doesn't understand the 'OBGYN behind my MD' bit)
Just a string of abbreviations, is all- Medical Doctor, Obstetrician & Gynaecologist.
Like "Miki Fujimoto, MD, OBGYN". There isn't an actual title like that, but for Miki, you might as well stitch it onto her labcoat and pink scrubs.
-----
On Call Omake
A familiar clacking of heels coming from the hallway made Yossi look up from her textbook and she peered out the open door of the staff room to see Rika breeze past the door. Yossi heard the footsteps stop suddenly, and then double back.
Rika stuck her head through the doorway to peer in at Yossi’s study group consisiting of Miki, and their respective interns. She smiled in greeting at them and then looked at Yossi, “So… can you take Risa-chan tomorrow?”
“Ah. Sure.”
“I’ve left my follow-ups with her, so just make sure you go on rounds with her, okay? Some of my post-ops will need additional labs.”
Yossi nodded and waved as the neuro resident left without fanfare.
“Whipped.” Miki made the corresponding sound effect and hand movement.
“Mikitty.” Yossi warned quietly.
“You let your woman push you around like that?”
“Miki.”
The hapless interns had their noses buried in their textbooks, trying hard to shut out the exchange between their residents.
Miki was too busy laughing to notice Rika slipping back into the room, “Fujimoto-san, I forgot to mention- Dr. Matsuura was looking for you this morning- I think she was concerned about the amount of *vice* she found in your locker.”
An almost inaudible whip crack sound came from the group and Miki swiveled to glower at them, eyes narrowed. Kamei, purveyor of said vice, couldn’t hold back a giggle, but a sharp glare from Miki stopped her short.
Ai just cleared her throat and casually flipped the page of her textbook while Yossie smiled smugly into her own notes, inordinately proud of her intern.
-----
So, IshiYoshi, kind of. That'll hold while I crank out my IshiYoshi-less Chapter 8 (hopefully, soon).
-
oh you tease....
EDIT: i couldn't just leave it at that LOL
ok well LOL i suppose that'll have to do for now xD Rika would be the one wearing the pants in the relationship. I dig it~ ahhaah
Chapter 8 (or 9 or 10 or whatever LOL) better be booty poppin' ishiyoshi raburabu LOL OR ELSE :tama-mad:
jk
It's interesting to note that all the girls are sort of near the general age group residents and whatnot are (give or take a few years LOL...sort of) I just realized that ahha
-
suki: huh, a Reiki fan. Your disappointment has been noted and will be rectified. :)
its weird because i am neither a fan of Reina nor Maki,, but put them together and i go crazy.. :nervous :panic:
gonna be waiting for it,, :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
Chapter 7
“Well, I don’t know about you guys but I’m wearing a bikini under my scrubs.”
:shocked.... :w00t: yey for Eri randomness!! :twothumbs :twothumbs
“Are you serious?” Reina pulled her surgical gloves off with a snap and moved towards Eri. “Lemme see.”
“Don’t you dare undress me without scrubbing first,” Eri warned.
normally a person would've ended that sentence in 'Don't you dare undress me'.. so glad that Eri is not your average/normal human being.. :D
The two girls worked together in comfortable silence, lit by the lone hanging lamp that threw long shadows which melded into each other across the checkered morgue floor.
KameShige interaction.. :wub: :wub: :inlove:
The TWO TOP pulling a prank on their Chief (of Surgery)?!.. :smhid GUTSY!! and totally awesome.. :D can't wait to see more of those pranks.. :rofl:
Reina turned her attention back down to the operation theater and saw Maki looking up at her, eyes crinkling into a smile, hidden behind the mask. Grinning back, Reina flashed a thumbs up at the surgeon and saluted cutely with a wink. Maki jerked her head to indicate the exit and made her way over to scrub out.
KYAAAAA!!! this little detail made me squeal!!! :hee: :luvluv2: :luvluv2: :luvluv2: seriously!! this couple makes me crazy.. :nervous :panic: more....... :bow:
“Preventive oncology- my new sub-specialty. I’m curing cancer by smoking every stick I come across.”
LOL!! smart-ass Miki :lol: but turns into a different person the moment Aya walks-in... :P
so i'm really curious about the relationship between Miki and Aya.. because from their interaction i'm getting a more than friends but less than lovers vibe.. haha~ but then i may be wrong.. :nervous
GAH! of course i am rooting for a lover's relationship between those two.. XD
first you tease us with a preview of Chapter 8 and now an Omake?!.. LOL.. i wanna see the whole thing.. :P :grin: :panic:
-
:lol: can't wait for the next chapter
-
Ai just cleared her throat and casually flipped the page of her textbook while Yossie smiled smugly into her own notes, inordinately proud of her intern.
:rofl: :rofl: I love Ai. Bring on more cheese doodles! Ahem, chapters! XD

Chapter 1: Morning Rush
Aya pulled her phone out and tried calling Miki again in desperate futility, knowing that her best friend slept like a dead log.
why Aya is so keen to wake Miki up?
The lift chimed and the doors slid open, jolting them both to action. Maki rushed into the lift, punching the ‘close’ button repeatedly. Aya pounded on Miki’s door, not caring about being quiet anymore. She heard Maki chortling as the lift doors closed.
hem, Maki is in this too? so rushed also? why?
The door opposite Miki’s room flew open, a bleary-eyed Masae stumbling out into the corridor “Shitfire, Matsuura, it’s fucking 4:00 am! Some of us just got into bed.”
is it some kind of dormitory?
The yard was still again, save for two figures, sprawled on a bench near the door. Kago snapped the camcorder screen closed and Tsuji stretched, yawning widely. They leaned against each other as they entered the building in companionable silence.
Kago...and Tsuji? eh, W? woah :w00t:
Aya and Maki moved like wolves on the hunt down the corridors to the main staff room, silent lethal alpha predators who were not above shoving and clothes-pulling.
what is it that making them rushed like that? *curious*
The first thing the frazzled duo noticed when they managed to squeeze in through the doorway at the same time, two abreast, was Ishikawa Rika on the couch, sipping on a cup of whatever like the goddamn queen of England, not a hair out of place. She eyed them with amusement and shrugged delicately.
oh, i can imagine this XD
even though i dont understand yet what are they doing, i just lol when i imagine Aya and Maki, panting heavily, and Rika who is just sitting there, sipping a tea :lol:
NOTICE
The Chief Resident position announcement will be deferred until whenever the hell I feel like it, pending further administrative deliberation.
NAKAZAWA Yuuko,
Chief of Staff
Asa University Hospital
aha! i see, it is university hospital XD
oh, so, these HP girls are now a doctor...woah, so cool >_<
.

wait, on second thought, is it okay to let these rather crazy girls be a doctor? :lol:
----------------
Chapter 2: Morning After
“I can’t believe that you,” Aya smacked Miki on the arm “Bet.” Smack. “Against.” Smack. “Me!” Smack. “And purposely delayed me just to win.” Smack. “We were supposed to go together!”
:lol: :lol: it is fun to imagine that scene :lol:
“That’s ‘cause its tradition.” Tsuji piped up. “I heard that during Yaguttsuan’s time, she installed latch bolts on the dorm doors in the middle of the night. The only reason why she lost was because Sayaka-san had camped out in the staff room overnight.”
ah, tradition like that at school >_<
that tiring tradition that have to be done even though there are no apparent reason >.>
at some point, it is fun though :yep: ...........as long as it shouldnt be done twice
“Your trusty resident bookie has to record the outcome. I gotta admit though, Rika-chan, if you weren’t making so much noise blowdrying, we’d have slept through your fabulous video finish at 3:30am.”
“There’s video?” Miki brightened up visibly.
Rika's embarrassing moment is Miki's enjoyable fun, isnt it? :lol:
“Mm, ne?” Kaori cut into her omelette ‘with surgical precision’, her mind supplied cleverly.
for some reason, i found that cool :shocked
Everyone scrambled to finish their food and ran out ahead of their scary senior attending.
:lol:
“Alla you, shut up!” Nakazawa yelled, “One more complaint out of any of you, I swear I’ll name Kago-chan Chief Resident.”
“Hmnh?” Kago looked up from her breakfast burrito, dropping bits of masticated meat and dough onto the table. Various noises of discontent and murmuring filled the room.
Nakazawa-san : :scolding:
Kago : :mon huh:
Others : :stunned:
me : :on lol:
“I really enjoyed my pediatrics rotation- it was a good learning experience.”
ah, Rika wanted to be a pediatric? hm...she seems quite good with it actually. it isnt hard to imagine kids and Rika together :yep:
but, i think...well, it is only my thought, pediatric is the most fragile section at hospital, compared to other section..because you are taking care of younger lives..
Did you know, that up to the mid-20th century, some medical and surgical residency programs had its residents living in hospital-based quarters? This was one of the ways I could get most of 'em living together, short of some school-drama (but that's really reaching, huh?)
ah, school life drama, i like it *nod*

The 82'ers
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
evil Yaguchi :rofl: :rofl:
anyway, Gracula-san was born at year 82? eh? uso! Gracula-san feels much more younger :D

Chapter 3: In the Pits
Her eighth patient for the day was another hayfever-triggered asthma attack- Spring was winding down too slowly and the monotony of mild respiratory-related issues were eating at the adrenaline-driven surgeon
wait a minute, shouldnt she be happy that no one is hurting too badly? as a doctor *shakes head*
‘At least a bad sprain, please, God
woah O.O
“My daughter fell during her asthma attack…”
:lol:
The five senior surgical residents sat in the break room studying intern orientation packets. It listed their future kouhai’s assignments, suggested rotation schedules and the compulsory teaching program.
kouhai? eh? is it mean that the gookies or rookies has a chance to appear too? *eyes filled with hope*
“Aw, look at the two of you, the old married couple divvying up household chores and babysitting duty.”
“You can forget that favor, Mikitty,” Yossi warned, glancing at Rika who looked unaffected.
hem....seems like something was up with IshiYoshi...
“That the only way you’re leaving the surgical program was if you died of a horrible dismemberment. Simply dying wouldn’t work because she’d just resusticate you. She said, and I quote this verbatim: ‘Godhand Nakazawa has never lost a coding patient.’”
:lol: :lol: no one can win against Nakazawa-san XD
“Maybe. And maybe a little bit of it is because- well, I know I’m never going to shine brighter than Aya-chan in this same field. Does it make me a bad person to think this way?” Rika asked hesitantly.
i think it isnt a bad thing? well, it is normal to have a little jealousy and such, moreover if it will make one shine brighter than before
“Have you considered Pediatric Surgery, specializing in neurosurgery?”
and everything ended quite well. Nakazawa-san is wise :yep:
---
Chapter 4: Natsu Party
Cheesy disco music filled the community hall. An atrociously designed ‘Wellcome 1st-Years!!’ banner that had seen better days hung limply above the main entrance.
ah, kouhai >_<
“Takahashi’s some supergenius- scored second highest in her class, near-perfect MCAT scores. She was recommended for the fast-track program, like Aya.”
woah, Ai is so great..
wait...is it the same Ai like in Bee-san fic? she isnt some kind of prodigy that go through a hard life, isnt she? O.o
...and, wait number two...who is the number one? Konno?
<<Osoiyo!!>>
<<I’m coming! My advisor lives way across campus and I needed to get some paperwork signed.>>
Risa sighed, “Ai-chan’s on her way. I texted her.”
“I texted her too,” Sayu said, holding up her pink Hello!Kitty phone.
“Oh, me too!” Reina piped up.
As if on cue, their phones chimed in harmony.
<<I’ll be there in 5 minutes. If I’m not, read this messsage again.>>
“I think she’s pissed off,” Reina declared confidently.
oh, they are already here >_<
“No!” three voices interjected as one. Snatching Eri’s phone away from her, Reina snapped it shut and tossed it into a large bowl of salsa. It sank to the bottom of the bowl with a gurgle.
Reina's logic was :lol: :rofl:
Eri fished her phone out out of the bowl and gave it a tentative lick.
ah, Eri, why so awesome...? XD :lol:
“Get on with it!” Two voices piped up in harmony from the back of the room. Tsuji passed the wine bottle over to Kago, who took a swig from it.
“Ahem. Alright then- could the 5 senior residents come to the front?” She held out five unmarked envelopes and they each selected one. “The name of your intern will be inside- please find them and get to know each other during the course of this party.”
“Whoohoo! Party party!”
Nacchi made a ‘cut them off’ sign at Yasuda, who promptly confisicated Non and Aibon’s winebottle for herself.
Two Top is XD XD XD
----
Chapter 5: Everybody's got somebody, except Yossi
Eri faced Fujimoto apprehensively, “Hajimemashite, yoroshiku onegaishimasu, Dr. Fujimoto-san.” she bowed.
“Un.” Miki studied her intern, like she would a bug on a specimen dish. Eri gripped her glass with both hands and sipped at it, squirming under Miki’s gaze.
ah, interesting combo XD
Rika, who was standing next to them with Niigaki, grinned in amusement
a calm combo :D
At the next table, Aya looked pained as Sayu was excitedly asking questions in a very high pitch about the program and the hospital.
a kind of disaster combo...? XD :lol:
Maki smirked at her behind Sayu’s back and turned to face her own intern, who seemed like a nice kid, if not slightly drunk. The resident was uncomfortable in social situations like these, therefore often projecting an aloof air, but Reina hardly noticed as she was so taken by the resident she admired.
They smiled tentatively at each other, “Um, senpai- do you want a drink?”
“God, yes.”
a...drunk combo...? :lol: they seem to get along already :D
“Ah. Eyebrows. Is she a good girl?”
“She’s nice. Very eager to please, polite and extremely competent but wears her emotions and reactions all over her face. She’s looking at me nervously because I just glanced at her whilst talking to you.” Rika laughed a little.
the way they remembered Risa :lol:
It was kind of awkward- they haven’t really been left alone together since the break-up… short break, Yossi corrected herself internally.
eh....? :O
Raising a bloodied hand weakly, her intern replied, “Hai, Takahashi Ai desu.”
eh? :O
“Gaki-san sutures beautifully,” Ai rushed to endorse her friend in front of their seniors. “And handles pressure very well.”
ah, AiGaki is sweet :D
“Slippery from the blood that was gushing from your wound.”
i refuse to imagine it >.<
‘To get blackmail material, if nothing else’, she reasoned
XD
Oh well. Did you know: suture needles don't look like sewing needles?
really? O.o i dont know, all of this time i thought it looked the same
--
Chapter 6: Learning Curve
Maki was draped across Reina, her head cleaved to the crook of Reina’s neck, one hand clutching the hem of Reina’s shirt. The intern had a confusing surge of both relief and disappointment to find themselves fully-clothed.
:lol:
“Ohayo,” greeted Rika brightly as she saw her intern wheeling Ai into the cafeteria. “How are you feeling today, Takahashi-san?”
wah, AiGaki has been so sweet since morning :oops:
The Facilities and Security manager beamed as she saw the both of them. "Ara, what a good senpai you are, Dr Fujimoto. Bringing your kouhai here yourself to get her ID pass."
why do i feel that Miki has something up at her sleeve? :roll:
Risa stared at her senpai who had entered the patient’s room, shamed and frustrated.
hem....Rika is firm :yep: she is looked gentle but she taught Gaki-san well
Maki smiled at her kouhai fondly. This training thing might work out after all.
it seems like it is going to be more than just an ordinary senpai-kouhai :D
“This is the wrong one, Ka[qme. I asked for ‘Ebony Trans Love’- go get that one for me.”
what is that? :?
Yossi picked up the magazine featuring a large-breasted, well-endowed shemale and flipped through it, tilting her head to figure out angles, “Why the hell do you even want these?”
i take the question back >.<'
it's that kind of thing...>.>
Miki-Yossy talked
how to say it....ah, whatever happened between Aya and Miki, it sure make a deep impact to how Miki behave.
“Shige-san, name me five suctioning-induced traumas that could occur,” Aya barked.
To Sayu’s credit, she only paused for a second before launching into a clear and concise response to Aya’s question. The nurse nodded approvingly before passing the suction to her. “That’s pretty good, Dr. Michishige. Almost verbatim from the textbook.”
“Mochiron!” Sayu smiled cutely. If Aya’s hands weren’t occupied with the patient’s brain, she would’ve reached up to smack her intern.
:lol: :lol: XD i could so imagine how Aya's face changed color at that moment
Sayu is more than what meet the eyes, she is much more than her cutesy acted :D
and someday, maybe Aya will eventually start to like Sayu :yep:
“After today, I will never have barbeque for the rest of my life,” Ai said with a shudder.
Risa nodded empathically, “Me neither.”
ah, the trauma XD XD
then again, if it's me, i might not be able to smell or see the barbecue at all after that sort of event x.x
Eri-Reina talked
i am a bit intrigued to ask what is it that they are talking bout. but, from past experience *the question above, at the beginning of the chapter* i think it is better if i am not asking it :yep:
--
Chapter 7: Summer Loving
“It’s summer, noon and we’re off-shift. What the hell are we doing freezing our asses off in the morgue?”
“Just ‘cause these are John Does don’t mean they can’t be prettied up.”
“Well, I don’t know about you guys but I’m wearing a bikini under my scrubs.”
my guess is Reina-Sayu-Eri xD
“Don’t you dare undress me without scrubbing first,” Eri warned.
Eri is beyond awesome XD
“I missed laundry day twice and I don’t have clean underwear. Gaki-san used to do the laundry when we were roomed together. Having a single sucks.”
:lol:
“I love my single,” The first thing Sayumi did when she moved in to her private qurters was to repaint the room pink. “Not needing to share a room and laundry days with Okada-san has done wonders for my sanity and boob confidence.”
:lol:
“You’re so lucky.” Sayu lamented, “ Nowadays, Dr. Matsuura doesn’t even allow me to scrub in unless I’ve recited to her every procedure in the book relating to the surgery. And she actually threw me out of the OT once because of my pink usa-chan scrub cap. I think she’s just jealous ‘cause I’m cuter than she is.”
:lol:
“That’s nothing,” Eri mumbled, “I’m Fujimoto-san’s personal assistant, read: sexually-harrassed indentured slave- all I do is get her coffee, meat and porn, in that order. Plus, she wedgies me after I’m scrubbed in so I can’t so anything about it until after the surgery.”
XD
i like the rookies, they are awesome like this :lol: :rofl:
Eri whimpered dismally, hands less steady, as she shakily pulled the ragged edges of fragile tissue close. “Sayuuu~!”
Her friend giggled and leaned against her, “Uso datta, Eririn. I’ll help you finish up.”
The two girls worked together in comfortable silence, lit by the lone hanging lamp that threw long shadows which melded into each other across the checkered morgue floor.
they are here, gyah! :wub: i think it is my favorite scene from the first chapter till now :D
“You looked cold, so we decided to make you a blanket out of sticky notes. Chuus, nono to aibon.”
it is sweet and funny at the same time :lol:
‘I wonder what it would feel like to have her hold my heart in her hands.’
that's cheesy and scary at the same time...erm, a bit cute actually :oops:
“Where’s your intern? Don’t tell me you’ve ditched her already?” Kago asked as she lit up another cigarette.
cigarette? ...................... dont smoke, please? as a doctor, at least she is a doctor here, she must have known that cigarette isnt good for health. :smhid
beside cigarette has given her a bad experience.....shouldnt smoke anymore >.<
Miki patted Aya’s head gently, “You’re pushing yourself too much, Aya-chan. You need a break.”
yep, Aya, you should rest, pills arent good, it is as bad as cigarette >.<
“Okay- I think I’ll hang out here a little while more. I’ll see you at dinner, Aya-chan.” Miki watched pensively as Aya headed back into the hospital. She pulled out her well-thumbed copy of ‘The Ultimate Guide to Choosing a Medical Specialty’ and continued reading.
Miki is doing her best at her own pace and her own way :D

On Call Omake
no sure what is vice about, but i will just assume that it is Miki's thing. :yep:
this omake chapter is funny XD XD XD
after read all of that, i could say that i like this fics a lot >_<
i like the 'did you know' section because i know nothing of the said question :D
the doctors live is interesting, and there seems to be more than just their ordinary fun life....
ah, and there are lots of pairing here, IshiYoshi (even though they are on break right now, they could eventually be together again,..... right?), MikiAya, MakiReina, AiGaki, and my most favorite KameShige >_<
sankyuu for the entertaining stories, Gracula-san, i am full :stuffed:
till next update, Gracula-san ganbareyo! ^o^/
-
I'M HEREEEEEEEEEE...
bee:
Sayu will now be forever oblivious to the fact that Aya is actually NOT jealous of her uber cuteness. The thought amuses me to no end.
This? Became this:-
:shocked
”And you’re just jealous because I’m much cuter than you!”
“Are you kidding me? I’m definitely cuter. Tan, tell her!” Aya whirled to face her friend. Miki was just staring at Aya with a repulsed look as though she’d tasted something bad. It took Aya all of three seconds to come to facepalming realization at what just came out of her own mouth.
“Sayumin is cutest, mon!”
Something inside Aya snapped at that and Miki, in a rare moment of humanity, decided to physically restrain her best friend before she assaulted her intern. Hopefully, this was in plain view of the security cameras and she could get a copy of the survellience tape to laugh at later.
:rofl:
OH MY GAH!!!! Aya's facepalming realization (I liked the way you worded that xDDD) is unexpectedly... so cute... XD I'm sorry, Sayu, but for now, Aya is cuter. :lol: Her fleeting moment of can't-lose-to-sayu and then just snapping right there and then after the bunny insistence... XD XD XD adorable? hehehe...
AND MIKI! You've hardly been able to write Miki without writing crack, it's amazing. Miki is amazing. I love her 'rare moment of humanity'... only to be followed by hopes that this moment would be caught on tape so she could have a laugh after... :bow: Miki will always be Miki! :lol:
I laugh every time I read this... thank you, grac, you are the best!!!!! :wub:
So, thanks for being my muse.
:nya: :nya: :nya:
Maki? Mysterious? Really? You know, despite that cool chara, Maki's thought patterns are usually "Food- mm, good", "Sleepy- warm cute girl pillow- good", "Solo career- limelight- good". Not a whole lot to decipher, is my personal opinion. But I can see how her indifferent facade can fool people.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
You're making Maki out to be rather... simple-minded? LOL. I honestly thought you were purposefully hiding a lot from her POV because there was a lot under the 'indifferent facade.' But okay, I won't waste too much energy pondering about this character then~
Ahhhh, and thanks for the OBGYN explanation! ^___^
I'm learning so much... lol. grac sensei :bow:

On Call Omake
ISHIYOSHI! :otomerika: :yossi: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
*Bee limbo dances*
[chant]Who's a sucker for Rika-chan? Who's a sucker for Rika-chan? Who's a sucker for Rika-chan? Who's a sucker for Rika-chan?[/chant]
“Whipped.” Miki made the corresponding sound effect and hand movement.
“Mikitty.” Yossi warned quietly.
“You let your woman push you around like that?”
:lol:
Again, with the 'your woman', as if Miki still believes the two are together. NANDEEEEE???
Why why why? Why have IshiYoshi broken it off but not told anybody (as far as I can tell anyway)?
The hapless interns had their noses buried in their textbooks, trying hard to shut out the exchange between their residents.
:luvluv1:
Awwwwwww!!! These 'hapless' interns seem so small and innocent compared to all their seniors. It's so adorable. Here's hoping for more whacked out interaction amongst the lot of them; I really can't wait to see them all mingle. :inlove:
Miki was too busy laughing to notice Rika slipping back into the room, “Fujimoto-san, I forgot to mention- Dr. Matsuura was looking for you this morning- I think she was concerned about the amount of *vice* she found in your locker.
”
:rofl:
CHARMY COMEBACK, OWWWW!
Miki, whipped. [inserts 'Who's-a-sucker-for-Aya' chant] :grin:
So funny :lol:
Ai just cleared her throat and casually flipped the page of her textbook while Yossie smiled smugly into her own notes, inordinately proud of her intern.
Ai made the whip crack??? :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
Hottie. :heart: lol
Yossie really does seem the type to like to avoid conflicts here, ne? MORE YOSSIE PLEASE! :bow:
But THANK YOU! For this omake... your stuff is too wonderful for words, grac :cry:
-----
So, IshiYoshi, kind of. That'll hold while I crank out my IshiYoshi-less Chapter 8 (hopefully, soon).
*Bee waits and waits and waits and waits*
^^^^
and and and WOW! Hana-chan's above comment :bleed eyes: you're so awesome! :wub:
-
First of all, WHOA. I mean, I got totally lost in all those huge comments XD
*is tempted to say the J-word, but will not*
Nah, I love reading and looking at those non-ending post, really. It makes me happy to see how much love this fic is receiving, because it deserves it :deco:
Now, time to catch up with everything ~
Chapter 7
I don't know if I hate you or I love you for the title of this chapter grac. Why? Well, because...
Grease - Summer Nights [[Official Video]] HQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpJUrt0O7uY#)
It had been years since I last heard this song, but it popped up in my head when I first read the title and it wouldn't leave me alone. Even now, when I re-read the chapter again to comment, this damn catchy song is stuck in my head again :panic: I will leave that there. With a little luck, it will get stuck in someone else's brain as well. Yes, I'm evil like that :heart:
But let's forget about that for now. It's time to fangirl rokkies! And you say you really don't know about them? They are perfectly portrayed for me. And I loved that scene. When those three are together, awesome things happens.
“Just ‘cause these are John Does don’t mean they can’t be prettied up.”
Yeah, second sentence and I'm already cracking up. Sayu and her remarks are the best XD And don't make me talk about Eri and her laundry issues... is funny how Sayu isn't even surprised about the bikini. Maybe she is too used to Eri's weird habits by now? XD At least Reina wanted to check... and lol at Eri for worrying only at t he scrubbing. But I guess if you are touching dead people that becomes an important matter.
So it was GakiKame (I always will approve this as long is a friendship thing) and Sayu-Yui sharing rooms. Poor Sayu, maybe she even dreamed about boobs :lol: But what I wanted to ask is... who was Reina roomie? I'm curious.
Pink usa-chan scrub cap. How adorable and cute is that? Of course Ayaya was jealous. Everyone would be. Maybe all of them should have little and cute animals in their scrub caps. Yeah, they should.
“I’m Fujimoto-san’s personal assistant, read: sexually-harrassed indentured slave- all I do is get her coffee, meat and porn, in that order.
LOL
Awesome Mikitty is awesome. That's all she need to be happy: Coffe -> Meat -> Porn -> Random wedgies and groping. Poor turtle, really. But again, I can only laugh at this. Sorry Eririn ~
That little Kameshige at the end was sooooo adorable. I want more of this cuteness :yep: And I think being surrounded by so many dead bodies in a dark, silent room, is scarier than a haunted house... ;_;
And talking about adorable. Aibon and Nono are adorable even in her pranks. Sticky notes? With hearts and chuus? Awww, come on, it's more kawaii than annoying. But I'm sure if those two found Yaguchi instead of Kaorin, the prank would have been very different. A bad kind of different :lol:
Yaguchi - Kaori interaction was niiiiiice. Your OG's interaction always make me want to do a happy fangirl dance. They are love :wub: . And it was uber cute to imagine the little one with her huge headphones on, so absorbed in the music. And of course, THIS:
“Ah, yes. It's good to learn all the different sounds by heart.”
:heart: Kaorin's puns :heart:
I need one of those every chapter. Or, at least, every two chapters. The people in that hospital seriously need to learn to appreciate them.
What about Nono and squids? LOL 'monster' she call her. Hidooi ~ But lucky Eri then, for not doing laundy in that dangerous place. I wonder if there is a really safe place somewhere in that hospital... I guess not. But that's why is so fun XD
Anyway... let's see what happens with specialities. I would like to see Tsuji choosing trauma too, she clearly enjoys it a lot. And I will enjoy watching Yaguchi stressed for it :lol:
Oh and I don't remember if I said it before but Yaguchi + Pizza, I ship it. I second the idea of the omake featuring this pairing and their mischievous adventures.
“Yeah, Yuu-chan thinks it’s a good idea too.”
Even when she is barely mentioned, she is awesome. That's the boss for ya :theking
:cow: AND NOW. MAKI+REINA. REIKI. YAY :cow:
Like Bee said, I'm totally loving this pairing, more and more and mooore <3 Because! Look at Reina watching Maki like a young shoujo in love. And thinking about how they woke up together so many times already. They are SO adorable it hurts! Hurts in a good way, of course.
[extreme fangirl on]
‘I wonder what it would feel like to have her hold my heart in her hands.’ She shook her head, blushing slightly
:inlove: :wub: :deco: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :deco: :wub: :inlove:
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/9252/awwreina.gif)
:heart: *melts in fluffy sugar* :heart:
I APPROVE. THIS PAIRING, I APPROVE.
[extreme fangirl off]
That was so incredibly corny. But the fact it was Reina who said it was what it made it so... so... kyaaah :heart:
This kind of corny sentences can make me either to run away, or to melt. It depends on how well placed it is, I guess. And this one was in the perfect place. So yeah, the result was emoticon (and fangirlism) overload. I'm sorry but.... is just it was soooooooooooooooooooo cute. Reina is all corny and lovey-dovey behind that tough yanki exterior. And Maki sleepy smile... it's so awww to imagine, a really, really sweet image :heart:
Making her way to the operating room, Reina greeted the surgical team as they exited, “Otsukareina!” Dr. Masae gave Reina a fistbump as she passed, her shock of pink hair unrulier than usual after being released from her scrub cap.
Otsukareina! Masae! Fistbump! PIIIIIIIIINK HAAAAAAAAAIR! YAAAY! :inlove:
:cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow: :cow:
I love Masae, really <3
I know I'm repeating myself but it's so cute how Reina is thinking hard about all the details and Maki is just going with whatever happens without further examination. Simple Maki ftw. Like I was saying, those two are cute, cute, cute. I like. I hope you're not planning to do something bad to them grac. Because I'm already feeling your evil aura...
Mikitty scene <3 Miki the crackbringer :heart: With W-bonus! And Ayaya bonus too ~
I can understand Aibon smoking, but I don't approve it. I don't like, because...
Smoking Aibon-> Bad things happens -> Drama Drama DRAMA-> You EVIL WOMAN break W.
I know that in your brain things are more or less like that. And you should know by now but I'll remind you anyway: breaking W is NOT an option! :on redcard: Remember it well >_>
“Preventive oncology- my new sub-specialty. I’m curing cancer by smoking every stick I come across.”
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I commented this to you before, but this is still awesome each time I read it.
Since Mikitty stole her cigarette, brought the crack and then Ayaya caught her redhanded, I'm cool with Aibon smoking this time. The smoking was needed to bring the hilarity XD Nono and Aibon running away because Ayaya appeared makes me love both of them even more. They sure sense the danger coming :lol:
AyaMiki moment was AWWWW :heart: . I love GAM interactions, Miki shows that side of her that only Ayaya can see :wub: But Aya and the pills :gmon tears:... I'm not going to say anything about that. But sometimes I wonder if your kind of evil is not that caring... ;_;
“Naw- me and Yocchan are just seeing how long we can drag on this gag ‘til Nakazawa-san string us up by the balls. She’ll probably get us drunk and sign off on the form- and I’ll wake up the next morning in the baby ward wearing pink with an OBGYN behind my MD.”
Aya laughed, “I’d like to see you in pink scrubs. You’d look really cute.”
“Ugh. I think the worst part about that is that me and Ishikawa would end up in matching colors
This whole thing is so much win. Epic win :heart:
Miki + Yossie + Nakazawa + Drunk Madness + Pink = Awesome. And if we add the matching Charmikitty factor is even moar awesome. I really want to see Yuko getting someone drunk with that evil plan in mind. I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time she do it :lol: And Mikipinku would be nice to see. I want to read her and Rikapinku together having crack!fun someday XD
I get scared of reading about poor little childrens with tumors. They have too many drama implications you could use. I hope everything goes okay...
You see, I'm getting more scared lately. There is so much happiness and fluff and crack around. And that is good, of course, but that means that drama is waiting, and it's near us already :panic: Everything seems like a potential detonator for DRAMA now >_> I'll have tissues at hand, just in case.
I wonder when we could read exactly why Mikitty is like that regarding work, getting always so defensive. Will we have to wait for the drama to get a proper explanation?
*insert mistery music*
Oh, and I want to see Miki asking her patients out! I want I want! Seems like a lot of fun XD
Chapter 8 preview
I have not much to say here, just... LET'S GO TO FUNKY TOWN ~ :heart:
(http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhcl5wA76g1qhscqgo1_250.gif)
Yeah, I want next chapter soon. Crack Ai sounds like fun. And craziness. And I just wanted to use that gif. Sorry?
THIS
”And you’re just jealous because I’m much cuter than you!”

Epic win #2 here :lol:
Sayu is just... XD Her cuteness is too much sometimes, even for Ayaya. It's so cute watching Aya losing it and acting like a little child. Adorable facepalming realiation too with Mikitty's help :heart: And Miki humanity has an evil kind of caring in it, you know. But I approve it <3
Omake
Omaigod, this was another epic win, totally. Ishiyoshi is always epic win!
:otomerika: :heart: :yossi:
So sweet, Yossie knows who it is before Rika appeared, because of the sound of her footsteps. That one of the signs of true loove ~~ :wub:
[chant]Who's a sucker for Rika-chan? Who's a sucker for Rika-chan? Who's a sucker for Rika-chan? Who's a sucker for Rika-chan?[/chant]
*joins the chant and adds some wota-dancing*
I love how Miki is always annoying Yossie with Rika <3 And I love how Yossie start to lose her patience little by little. You can totally tell with the way she calls Miki each time:
'Mikitty' -> Ok, you're funny, I get it, but that's enough, I don't like you joking with that
'Miki' -> I'm serious, this isn't funny and I'm getting angry, stop it.
The next thing would be 'Fujimoto', I'm sure. And after that.. who knows :lol: Now that I think of it, I would like to see Rika and Yossie getting angry, really really angry. Not with each other (though that would be fun too, but heart-breaking and forbidden too ;_;), but I'm curious to see them like that here ~
Yay for Rika-chan delivering the fatal blow to Miki in the most appropiate moment. And Ai-chan finished her off with the whipping sound. That Ai-chan :heart: XD Those helpless interns are not that helpless and innocent as they seem. But poor Eririn, she can't even giggle in peace :lol: I love these kind of interactions as well. Senpai-Kouhai having fun alltogether!
Your omakes are as awesome as the story itself. Grac!crack is addicting and contagious XD I hope you update soon, I want to read moar! But I will wait patiently for it :heart: Thanks as always for your awesome writing!
I love you grac :mon inluv:

Chapter 8: 18 hours to Foreshadowing
Celebratory dinner and drinks ended slightly past 10 pm, but Reina was determined to carry out her private resolution stubbornly, so she pushed a confused Maki into her room and marched down the hallway to her own quarters.
Reina’s mood got progressively darker as the distance between her and Maki grew with every step. She didn’t even know whether she was angrier about- having to part ways or her weak neediness.
“This is a good thing,” she muttered repeatedly to herself as she trailed past the cluster of rooms allocated to her and her batchmates. They rarely closed their doors, unless privacy was needed, so Reina veered into Sayu’s open room with a quick rap on the doorframe.
The sudden appearance of Reina in her space made Sayu jump, “Nani, Reina?”
“Do you think I’m pathetic?” Reina asked, flopping onto Sayu’s bed unceremoniously.
Sayu stared at Reina thoughtfully for a few moments, trying to analyse the abrupt question. “Are you talking about how your mattress is still in its original plastic wrapping?”
She was the one person who would never sugarcoat her opinions and Reina appreciated that. “Or the fact that you’ve been surgically attached to Dr. Gottsuan’s fine ass the past week?” But candor had it’s limits, so Reina just glowered at her friend.
Reina buried her head under Sayu’s pillow and groaned, “I’m pathetic. Please tell me only you noticed and not the whole goddamn hospital?”
“Actually, we’ve been too busy to notice you,” Risa piped up, leaning against the doorframe, dressed in her footie pajamas, complete with tail. “Tsuji-san asked us if we wanted in on the betting pool for the both of you, was how we realized.”
Ai was glued to her pink Nintendo DS, but somehow negotiated her way into Sayu’s room and onto the recliner. Eri trailed in after her and shuffled sleepily over to Sayu’s bed, climbing in next to Reina and spooning her.
“Reina, you know we love you right?” Eri mumbled into her hair. “Please don’t sleep with- I mean, have sex with Gottsuan. Not until Thursday. ‘Cos that’s when Dr. Fujimoto has her bet ‘til-“
The Fukuokan smacked Eri in the face with a stuffed animal and rolled off the bed. “You guys suck. I’m going to go pack my room now.”
“Do you need help?” Ai asked absently.
Reina waved them off and crossed the hall to her room, shutting her door firmly behind her. Risa was still hugging Sayu’s doorframe, a contemplative look on her face. “So. This was officially the worst intervention ever.”
“This was an intervention?” Eri and Sayu asked at the same time, puzzled.
The sound of footsteps coming down the hall made Risa peer out. Her eyes widened as she saw Maki making her way over to them.
“Good evening, Dr. Goto,” Risa greeted as Maki neared. The room’s occupants sat up startled, as the senior resident appeared next to Risa at the doorway and they each mumbled a greeting.
Maki nodded at them, and regarded Risa’s pajamas with an odd look. “ Uh, is Reina-?” She trailed off, glancing around the room where the rest of the interns were hanging out in, not seeing her intern.
Niigaki just plodded up to Reina’s door and started rapping sharply on it, “Oi, Reina?”
“Fuck off. I’m unpacking.”
Risa just shrugged at her senior, chuckling awkwardly, “Heh, I guess she’s busy.”
“Um, Reina?” Maki said tentatively. An exact total of two heartbeats passed (Maki was counting) and Reina threw her door open, yanked Maki into the room and slammed the door shut again.
“So, who bet for tonight in the pool?” Ai asked, still engrossed in her game. Risa yawned and shuffled back into her own room, her tail dragging across the floor behind her.
-----
The cafeteria was surprisingly busy- serving supper/breakfast to the 3 a.m. crowd consisting of mostly pre or mid-shift staff.
Sayu smiled in thanks at the server who placed a plate stacked high with banana pancakes onto her tray. Behind her, Risa was carefully balancing mugs of coffee on her tray, moving slowly to their table as not to spill anything.
“Do you think we need to wake Reina?” Ai asked, while ‘fixing’ their bowls of bland oatmeal with a generous drizzling of maple syrup and various other condiments.
Sayu dished out the pancakes, leaving some aside for their absent batchmate. “I tried knocking on her door this morning, but there was no response.”
“We should call. You really don’t want to be late reporting in to Fujimoto-san,” Eri warned ominously.
“Why did all our senpais decide to leave us with Fujimoto-san anyway? And why is Gaki-san the only one who gets to avoid it?” Sayu complained.
All the senior residents, save for Miki and Rika, had the day off and everyone decided to leave the care of Ai, Sayu and Reina to the eviller of the two choices, for some reason.
“That’s ‘cause I’m just lucky like that. Mou, Ai-chan- stop that,” Risa complained as Ai stirred a spoonful of grape jelly into the sticky mixture.
“Shh. I’m cooking.”
Ai held up a spoonful of her oatmeal, staring intently at Risa’s lips with her own mouth half-open as if to will those pursed lips to accept her concoction. Risa gave the offering a suspicious look, but obliged her friend and consumed the brownish-grey oatmeal without complaint.
“Oishii?”
Risa shook her head, but opened her mouth for a second spoonful anyway. She dialled Reina, propping the phone on the table and turned on the speaker function. Midway through the third ring, Reina picked up, short of breath and panting heavily, “I’m- coming. Wait,” she growled. They heard Maki’s voice calling for Reina and the line disconnected abruptly.
Everyone in the vicinity stared at their table, shocked and Sayu broke the silence by laughing and clapping her hands gleefully, “Omoshiroi!”
The doors to the cafeteria were flung open and a sweat-drenched Reina stomped up to the table. Ai slid a bowl of oatmeal over and Reina dug into the unappetizing mush without a word.
Risa cleared her throat, eyeing the fuming Reina, “So, that was quick.”
“What’d you do? Run here?” Eri asked. Sayu snorted and started ssexy beasting again.
Reina ignored her friends. She had once again woken up with Maki, albeit in her own room, and the senior resident had dragged her out for a jog before her shift, claiming that it would ‘energize’ her for the long day ahead. Although she was allergic to most forms of exercise and recreational sports, their ‘leisurely jog’ turned out to be a sprint race around campus due to their competitive natures.
“Oishii, Reina?”
Sayu giggled, “Was Goto-san oishii?”
“Uruseiyo,” Reina growled, to the amusement of her friends. “I think I need a shower. I’ll see you guys there.” She pushed her empty oatmeal bowl aside and left quietly.
Eri tapped at her watch, “Half an hour ‘til we have to report in.”
“I’ll follow her back to the dorms,” Risa offered. “My shift doesn’t start until seven anyway.” Various items of food were neatly gathered and shoved into her arms for Reina.
Reina didn’t get very far, tired from the exertion earlier. Risa caught up easily and passed over a rolled-up banana pancake, “Here, Sayumi says she’s sorry for teasing you.”
“We didn’t sleep toge- have sex, you know.”
“I know, you know better, right?”
“Not that I don’t want to,” Reina mused.
“It’s not a good idea to get involved with your sempai, Tanakacchi.”
“Why not?” Ai’s voice startled the both of them and they whirled around to see her following them.
“What are you, a damned ninja? Why were you walking behind us so quietly?”
Ai skipped forward and linked arms with the both of them, “I don’t think Reina sleeping- having sex with with Goto-san is anyone’s business except their own.”
“I think we should stop saying sleeping- having sex like it’s a subcategory. I can tell what you mean by the context of the sentence.” Risa deadpanned.
“I don’t even know if she likes me- wants to sleep with me. In a sex way,” Reina clarified.
Risa shook her head at that, while Ai giggled, “Who wouldn’t want Tanaka Reina in a sex way?”
“Stop encouraging her, Ai-chan. Aren’t you worried about repercussions at work, Reina?”
“Well, the way things are going, I think it doesn’t even matter if they’re not actually sleeping- having sex. Everyone seems to think they are anyway.”
Reina frowned and whirled on Ai, “Who? Who thinks we’re sleeping together, in a sex way?”
Feeling a headache coming on from the conversation, Risa was beginning to regret her decision to accompany Reina back to the dorms, “All I’m trying to say, Reina, is that I don’t want there to be any sort of repercussions from your dalliance with Goto-san.”
A beat. “Oh wow, how long have you been waiting to use the word ‘dalliance’?” Reina and Ai laughed at Risa’s exasperated look.
“Okay, good night. I give up.” Risa threw her hands into the air and made her way back to her room, shutting the door firmly behind her.
“Good night!” Ai called cheerfully, “See you in 18 hours!”
-----
“I have four rules. In case Kame here neglected to brief you girls properly, listen up, because I’m not going to repeat myself.”
Ai peeked over at Eri, who was standing at attention next to Miki, an inscrutable look on her face. She supposed it was the turtle’s ‘game face’- being attached permanently to the most terrifying senior resident in the hospital would make anyone develop a defense mechanism.
“Number one: my word is law. If I tell you to do something, you do it. If you don’t get why, you ask *after* you’ve done it,” Miki enunciated clearly.
She turned to walk out the staff room, heading out towards the emergency room. “I hope you all had a good break yesterday, because it’s going to be an 18-hour long shift today.” Miki regarded them closely for signs of flinching and continued, “You’re grunts, flunkies, bottom of the food chain at Asa UH- you do everything asked of you until you drop and you don’t complain.”
Miki indicated toward the on-call room, “Rule Two: you sleep when you can, where you can. Good luck fighting me and other seniors for a futon. Which brings me to Rule Three: If I’m sleeping, don’t wake me unless your patient is actually dying and the dying patient better not be dead when I get there. Not only will you have killed someone, you would have woken me for no good reason. We clear?”
She whirled to face her charges for the day, “Questions?” Ai, Sayu, Reina and Eri glanced at each other.
Reina lifted her hand, as always, the first one to ask anything, “Hai! What’s Rule Four?”
Miki thrust a questioning look at the stone-faced Eri, who answered immediately in a surprisingly clear voice, “When Dr. Fujimoto moves, you move.”
The senior resident smirked, glancing at her buzzing pager. Miki started running towards the emergency room, gesturing for her flock to follow, “Itteru zo, teme!” (Let’s go, ya bastards!)
“Hai!” The four interns ran after her, steeling themselves for what would undoubtedly be the longest shift of their lives.
-----
Aibon yawned, her elbow bumping against Nono’s head as she stretched, rousing the other girl as well. Nono muttered unintelligibly and snuggled deeper into the warmth of the blanket.
“Asa dayo, Non,” Aibon shook her friend’s shoulder gently.
“Five more minutes,” came the grumpy reply.
Sitting up on the bed, Kago regarded her almost empty room blearily. Suitcases and sealed boxes were stacked neatly by the door, the culmination of her years in university and residency. It would probably take two trips to move everything into her new apartment. She had mixed feelings about today, both looking forward to being able to assert some independence and trepidation about leaving the safety of the communal residence that she had grew up in and come to call home.
A screech startled her and Nono sat up from bed suddenly. As if on cue, the both of them started cackling loudly as more commotion from the hallway filtered in. They scrambled off the bed and threw the door open, giggling like maniacs. A wall of foam spilled into the room, burying them under the white bubbles.
“Kaaago! Tsujiiii!”
“Who’s that?” Nono asked her friend, who shrugged. They laughed as they saw people trying to push the invading bubbles out of their rooms in futility. The fuss and noise would wake those who were still sleeping and they’d end up having foam invade their rooms as they opened their doors to find out what the disturbance was about.
Rika appeared before them fully-dressed and covered in white froth. “I swear, if I’m late for my shift…“ she threatened, eliciting a fresh bout of laughter from the two.
Aibon grabbed Nono’s arm and they waded through the mess down the slippery hallway, past the foam machine that had been steadily churning foam all night. One last time, Aibon thought fondly as they both raced up the fire escape stairwell to wreck more havoc on the senior attendings who lived upstairs.
One last time.
-----
Peeking out onto the trauma floor, Iida observed the new surgical interns as they were running after Miki harriedly. They were a good bunch, she noted with a satisfied smile.
Tsuji passed her and waved happily, a goofy grin on her face. The ruckus she had created that morning had put her in a better mood than usual. No one was spared that morning- Kago’s legendary last morning in Asa’s dorms was truly one for the books. Kaori glared at Nono dourly- she could still smell the maple syrup in her hair despite numerous shampooings.
Satisfied that everything at the pit was running smoothly, Kaori sauntered into the break room, greeting Kei who was poring through a stack of books and refering to her own handwritten notes from time to time.
“So, are you making any headway on your Psych case?”
“I like how you don’t emphasize your puns anymore.” Yasuda made a hand gesture to stress on the word ‘emphasize’, her eyes still glued to her book.
“Just showing some growth, I think.” Kaori replied, smiling placidly.
Kei’s head snapped up suddenly and she stared at the surgical chief, wide-eyed, “No way.”
“Nani?” Kaori regarded her friend warily.
“Shit.” Kei shuffled through her notes. “You. Your goddamn oracular puns!”
Yasuda leapt up and kissed Kaori full on the lips, “Thanks, Kao! I’m going to look for Rika-chan now!”
“You’re- welcome?” But Kei had already vacated the room with a flurry of papers, leaving behind a confused and mildly repelled Kaori. “Wonder if I should warn Ishikawa?”
-----
“Turns out, no one actually thought to put him through full medical scans before sending upstairs to the psych ward,” Kei explained, as Rika perused the files.
“Well, his prior medical history since adolescence shows ADHD and borderline psychosis. He’s been on meds for 7 years- there’s no reason why you would think it was otherwise. Especially since he showed up at your ward as a drug-dependency case.”
“Yes, but I’m beginning to wonder if it really is a psychiatric condition anymore. He has mild seizures occasionally and shows extreme sensitivity to noise during that time.”
Rika looked at Niigaki who was observing this intently, “What do you think?”
“Common comorbid conditions- epilepsy and substance abuse would create some variance in-“ Niigaki glanced at the patient’s records for a name, “Hiro-san’s diagnosis.”
Rika smothered a small smile at that. “She’s right, Kei-chan. I don’t see any neurological reason to order up expensive scans just because you have a hunch.”
“What if there was a growth?”
The neurosurgeon’s interest piqued, “What if there was a growth?”
“That would show on the CT scans.”
“That would show on the CT scans.” Niigaki repeated dutifully.
A thoughtful look crossed Rika’s face as she pondered this, “How- mild- are his seizures?”
“Not entirely debilitating, but he’s Code Browned twice.”
“What’s Code Brown?” Risa asked.
Her sempais regarded her indulgently, “Ah, the naivete of medical students. How I miss it.” Yasuda smiled.
“Loss of bowel control, Risa-chan. We have wonderful code colors for every situation in this hospital.”
Risa grimaced at that, “Oh, wow. I don’t want to see that.”
“I think everyone should experience a Code Brown up in the Psych ward once in their life. It’s not just a matter of cleaning an embarassed patient and their bed. Psych cases are a lot more, creative, with their biowaste than most other patients.”
Rika smiled, not at all pleasantly, “Dr. Niigaki has never been up in the Psych ward, has she?”
An impending sense of dread filled Risa. “Like a tour?”
“Like a- ‘you’re handling this case’, Doctor.” Rika handed the patient’s records over to her, “Assess him and do his labs. Congratulations, you’re flying solo on this case.”
“Uso!”
Yasuda laughed, “Come on, Niigaki- I’ll take you upstairs.”
-----
Sayu staggered down the hallway, her arms laden with case files and lab reports. Carefully negotiating her way into the lift, she eyed the panel of buttons and sighed. Sticking a pinky out, she tried jabbing blindly in hopes that she’d get the right floor.
“Need help, little lady?” A voice burred out, close to her ear. Sayu gave a startled yelp and would’ve dropped her files if not for Eri’s steadying hand. “Going up?” Eri pushed a wheelchair into the lift and pressed the button for the third floor.
“Eririn!”
“Here,” Eri gestured for Sayu to place her load of files onto the wheelchair. “Next time, use these. Once, I had so many files, I actually needed a gurney to carry all of them.”
“You’re such a lifesaver. What would I do without you?” Sayu pretended to swoon, clutching at Eri’s arm and pressed a playful kiss onto her friend’s cheek.
“How’re you doing with these?” Eri asked as they alighted at the third floor, heading for the patient wards.
“Okay so far. I’ve gone through all of them and sorted them out to ‘good news’, ‘bad news’ and ‘need more tests’ piles.”
Eri laughed, “Really? I do that too! And I always deliver my ‘bad news’ ones first so that the ‘good news’ ones cheer me up after.”
“Well, technically, bad news for them means good news for us. We’ll get to recommend surgery and maybe get to participate. It’s good news all ‘round, actually.”
Eri considered her friend with a pained look, “You know, sometimes, it’s like I don’t know you anymore.”
“Yes, you do,” Sayu replied.
Grinning at Sayu, Eri pushed her off in the direction of the wards, “Good luck, Sayu. Ganbatte!” she called over her shoulder as she jogged back to the lifts.
“Ganbarimasu!” Sayu clenched both fists and pumped them in the air. Gripping the wheelchair handles, she flipped open the first file and made her way to the patient’s room to deliver the bad/good news. “Yosh! Minimally invasive endoscopic pituitary surgery, come on!”
-----
“Call it.”
“Time of death: 12:32pm,” Reina sighed, staring down at yet another accident victim that morning.
“Dr. Reina? We need you in here,” a nurse called urgently from the next trauma section.
Reina yanked her bloodied gloves off violently and threw them into the biowaste bin. “Give me the bullet,” she barked as she entered through the adjoining door.
“Nitoh Asuka, 42-year old male, sudden cardiac arrest, he’s asystolic.” The trauma team was working on the limp body of the patient as Reina studied the heart monitor.
“What the hell? Another DOA?” Reina snarled. Someone passed her the chest paddles, and she applied them to the patient with a jolt.
“No response.”
“Charge to 220,” Reina called.
Another jolt.
“No response.”
“Dammit.”
“Call it, doc.”
“That’s all I’ve been doing all fucking morning. Time of death: 12:56pm.” Reina felt hot tears of frustration sting behind her closed eyes.
Miki barged into the trauma room with Eri in tow, “You. Goto’s flunky. I have 6 families outside piled up asking about your cases. What the hell have you been doing?”
“Dealing with these damnned DOAs you keep sending my way.”
“What did you think trauma code duty meant, genius? Go out and inform the families now- don’t you dare do all six at once.”
Reina balked, “I’ve never… I can’t-“ she stammered.
“Kame, go show her how its done and then she can do the rest. Come straight back after,” Miki snapped impatiently.
“Hai. Come on, Reina,” Eri tugged Reina out towards the waiting room.
-----
Ai kept up pretty well thus far. Dr. Yoshizawa was no slacker, so the breakneck pace Dr. Fujimoto was putting them through didn’t phase her in the slightest. But she was now staring at the pile of a dozen admissions forms or so with a look of mild revulsion on her face.
“Look, you’re a doctor, these are diseased penii. Deal with it.” Miki thrust an entire box of surgical gloves into Ai’s hands and moved to assist Nono with a gurney being pushed down the corridor.
“I’ll stay and help Dr. Takahashi,” Eri offered.
“Fine. Go check on the code team after,” Miki called over her shoulder.
“Why is our team getting all the rectal and genital exams? There are so many other medical residents on duty,” Ai grimaced, shuffling through the forms.
Eri sighed, “Well, it’s a long story- but basically, Inaba-dono caught Fujimoto-san messing around with her nurses and now we get assigned every undesirable case in the hospital.” She pulled a set of gloves out and peered out towards the waiting lounge, murmuring absently, “You know, I think I’ve seen some of these guys before at the sex shop.”
“How do you do it, Eri?” Ai asked.
“Well, you just ask them to take their pants off and show you-“
“No, I meant, how do you deal with all this and Fujimoto-san everyday?”
“Like how what?” Eri mentally reviewed the day- it had been good. Work had kept them all busy enough that Miki hadn’t asked for anything outrageous, like the roasted pig trotter Eri had to scour half the city for last week.
“Never mind. Let’s just do this,” Ai drew a deep breath and steeled herself for the ordeal ahead.
-----
“Oh my god. Couldn’t you have found an apartment with a lift, at least?” Yossi huffed, sweating profusively as she struggled up the stairs, hefting the large box in her arms.
Aibon peered around her armful of pillows and stuffed toys to give Yossi a sweet smile, “Not unless you plan to fork out half the rent, Tou-chan.”
“Oi! Hurry up, I’m starving!” Maki yelled from upstairs, waiting for Aibon to open the door to her flat.
The off-duty senior residents moved the last of Kago’s belongings into her new flat. It was bare but clean, a few throw pillows and a rug made up the entirety of the living area.
Yossi distributed the bento boxes for lunch as Maki passed around bottles of cold beer, chugging on one herself. They ate their late lunch in silence, hunger winning out against conversation.
“Ahh,” Aibon exhaled, flopping back into a large throw pillow, her belly sated. “Thanks for helping me move, guys.”
“You’re welcome. It was our day off anyway,” Yossi replied. Maki waved lazily from her spot on the floor, half-snoozing already.
They ended up falling asleep amidst unpacked boxes, enjoying the gentle breeze of spring.
-----
Reina sank gratefully into the mattress, physically and emotionally worn. Sayu was already fast asleep in the bunk bed above hers, the both of them taking the opportunity to rest in the on call room. Miki was at a meeting. Ai was keeping an eye on the pit, while dealing with her consults. It was a good time to catch some rest.
They were more than halfway through their 18-hour shift and everyone now looked at Eri with newfound respect. Having to deal with both Fujimoto and the kind of cases they seemed to attract was, to say the least, taxing. Eri was literally everywhere, all at once, smoothly handling everything that came her way.
At lunch, Eri told Reina that she had gotten on Miki’s bad side, for some reason, which was why she was assigned code duty for the day. Ai gave a very unladylike snort at that and made a remark about which side of Miki’s she’d gotten on to warrant her assignment for the day. They ended up just chalking it all up to Fujimoto being hell-spawn and soldiered on. Just a few more hours and they were done anyway.
‘It’s no use.’ Reina tossed irritatedly on the bed, physically exhausted, but just unable to fall asleep. Pulling out her mobile phone, she scrolled down to Maki’s name, staring at it for a long while before punching the call button. The call went to voicemail and Reina sighed.
Reina clambered up the ladder and into Sayu’s bed. “Scoot over,” she poked the sleeping girl.
Sayu didn’t even open her eyes as she moved to make space for Reina, who promptly snuggled up to Sayu. She pressed her ear against Sayu’s back, concentrating on the comforting sound of another person’s heartbeat.
‘Sounds different, though,’ was Reina’s last thought before falling asleep.
-----
Miki was hard at work transcribing her own scrawled notes onto the whiteboard in the meeting room as neatly as she could, checking her electronic dictionary from time to time. The last thing she needed were wiseass remarks about her kanji from the peanut gallery. It already pained her to need to ask for help from these people.
Rika and Risa were the first to arrive, seating themselves around the conference table.
“Mikitty, kore nani?” Rika asked, squinting at a diagram on the board. “Onigiri?”
“Imo?” Risa hazarded a guess.
Miki glared at them in irritation as Eri entered the room.
“Ah, Coxsackie virus.” Eri said almost immediately when she saw the drawing.
“Hora!” Miki raised her chin triumphantly and smirked at her detractors.
“It figures that Eri would be the only person in the world who’d recognize it,” said Risa with amusement. “This girl failed half her papers one semester because not a single professor could identify her diagrams, even with labels and footnotes.”
Eri turned sheepish eyes at Risa, “Gaki-han!”
“Don’t worry, Kame. Our talents will never be appreciated until we’re dead, like Picasso.” Miki declared dramatically.
Kaori was the last to arrive, closing the door behind her, “Who’s dying? Fujimoto, nani sore? Shiitake?”
-----
Aibon’s housewarming party was in full swing. The lack of furniture was compensated by the over-abundance of liquor.
Everyone was already drunk by the time Miki arrived. She passed a bottle of tequila over to Maki. “Where’s Aya-chan? I thought you guys were hanging out together today,” Miki asked.
Maki shrugged, “I dunno. I tried calling, but no answer. I guess she’s busy or something.”
Rika was sitting alone at the balcony, dangling her legs out through the railing bars. Yossi grabbed another bottle of beer and made her way over to Rika, sliding the glass door close behind her and shutting out the noise of the party within.
“What’s up?” Yossi asked
Rika sighed, not even looking up at Yossi, “Just down. I think I made a crucial error and now my patient’s still in a coma. I shouldn’t have hesitated so long with recommending the surgery.”
Yossi sat down next to her, passing the bottle of beer over. “Don’t get all negative, Ishikawa. Have you run him through CT or MRI?”
“Scheduled one for tomorrow morning. We need to hire more tech girls- there’s a backlog the size of my penis.”
Yossi craned over to look at the cluster of empty bottles beside Rika. You knew Ishikawa was utterly smashed when she started referencing her (nonexistant) penis. That, and referring to herself as ‘ore-sama’. Rika tended to be a non-drunk- meaning, she would never appear drunk in the slightest until you spoke to her.
“You okay there, Rika-neesama?” Yossi patted Rika’s head, which was resting on her shoulder.
Turning to Yossi, Rika had a serious look on her face as she leaned in closer. “Yossi,” Rika whispered.
“Yes?”
“Let’s go out and do something fun,” Rika smacked Yossi’s thigh, laughing.
Yossi blinked, her racing heart confused at the sudden shift in emotions. “What? No.” Drunk Ishikawa is never to be let out in public. The Chief actually posted a memo on the board following the debacle that was Ichii Sayaka’s farewell party.
“Oh, come on- it’ll be hilarious.”
“The last time you said that when you were drunk, Kei-chan had to bail our hungover asses out of jail at six in the morning just in time for patient rounds.”
Frantic rapping on the balcony sliding door made them look back. Yaguchi had stuck an entire pizza face-first onto the glass, mouthing the words ‘have some’ while pointing at it.
“Oresama wa pizza ga daisuki!”
It was going to be a long night, Yossi sighed.
-----
“I’m home.”
“Okaeri- you look beat.” Risa closed her textbook and glanced up at the clock which showed 22:30.
“Why aren’t there any male doctors in this facility? You know, it’s just occurred to me just now. “
“Only just now?” Risa regarded her friend with amusement.
Ai took the bottle of vodka from the mini-fridge, and as an afterthought, pulled out a carton of chocolate milk as well. She drank first from the carton, and then took a gulp of vodka.
“So, how was your field trip with Hell’s Resident? Or do I even need to ask? I saw Reina running around pretending not to cry.”
“It can basically be summarized into two words- Scrotal. Warts. No wait, three words- Outbreak.”
Risa grimaced, “How bad was it?”
Takahashi poured the remaining chocolate milk into the vodka bottle and chugged the concoction before responding, “Towards the end of the shift, the entire emergency floor started paging me as Dr. Bukkake.”
“Is that the last of the milk?” Risa asked, reaching for the vodka bottle and taking a swig for herself.
“You know, just because Fujimoto-san’s behaviour gets her on every shitlist in the hospital, poor Eri has to deal with it too. I’ve just been with her for a day and it’s been- ugh.” Ai took a long pull out of the bottle.
“Can’t be as bad as my glamorous solo case- my patient enjoys the art of calligraphy, using his bodily waste.”
“You know, if I don’t ever handle another penis in my life, I’ll be happy. One of the patients actually asked for my number, mid-inspection.”
“Kimochi warui! What did you do?”
“I told him we needed to burn the warts off with acid or liquid nitrogen. He passed out.”
Risa laughed, “That’s my Aichan. C’mon, you guys survived 18 hours of hell- let’s go raid the dining hall pantry and share the joy that is vodka and chocolate milk with the rest.”
“I don’t know if the rest of the girls are up to it.”
“More joy for us then.”

Aya woke up with a start. It was dark out- she glanced over to the digital clock on her nightstand noting that she’d slept nearly an entire day away. She sat up and winced as her head throbbed painfully from oversleeping.
Yawning, she flipped on the light to illuminate the room and rubbed the sleep from her eyes and face and was shocked as her hand came away sticky with blood.
Her heart stopped as she stared down at her blood-covered pillow. “Oh, shit.”

Did you know: Residents can have crazy shifts up to 24 hours long. (but not as long as Rika's non-existant magnificent penis)

WTF WHERE DO I START!!!???
Not with emotes. Yet.
First of all, holy cow an update! And an epic comeback at that!
Now for mass quoting! Onward!
so she pushed a confused Maki into her room and marched down the hallway to her own quarters.
Still with this? Oh come now, nothing wrong with enjoying a little warmth from a sleeping buddy.
“Do you think I’m pathetic?” Reina asked, flopping onto Sayu’s bed unceremoniously.
That's probably the wrong question to ask the evil bunny.
“Or the fact that you’ve been surgically attached to Dr. Gottsuan’s fine ass the past week?”
Is Reina mad about the ass remark?
Risa piped up, leaning against the doorframe, dressed in her footie pajamas, complete with tail.
DAWW~~ Fickin' cute!
Ai was glued to her pink Nintendo DS, but somehow negotiated her way into Sayu’s room and onto the recliner.
Kinda like the walking version of texting while driving.
Eri trailed in after her and shuffled sleepily over to Sayu’s bed, climbing in next to Reina and spooning her.
Well now it's officially a party. :lol:
Risa was still hugging Sayu’s doorframe, a contemplative look on her face. “So. This was officially the worst intervention ever.”
“This was an intervention?” Eri and Sayu asked at the same time, puzzled.
Yeah, what? Is Goto a drug now?
An exact total of two heartbeats passed (Maki was counting) and Reina threw her door open, yanked Maki into the room and slammed the door shut again.
:lol: :lol:
“That’s ‘cause I’m just lucky like that.
Oh that'll bite her in the ass later.
“Shh. I’m cooking.”
Oh my gawd. :lol: :lol:
Risa shook her head, but opened her mouth for a second spoonful anyway.
Aww. How can this story be so chockablock full of stuff like this without any actual romance? I can't stand it XD
Everyone in the vicinity stared at their table, shocked and Sayu broke the silence by laughing and clapping her hands gleefully, “Omoshiroi!”
:ondick:
Risa cleared her throat, eyeing the fuming Reina, “So, that was quick.”
That was tactful XD
“I think we should stop saying sleeping- having sex like it’s a subcategory. I can tell what you mean by the context of the sentence.” Risa deadpanned.
LOL
Feeling a headache coming on from the conversation, Risa was beginning to regret her decision to accompany Reina back to the dorms
Well~ if you would stop trying to be the voice of reason, you'd probably stop drowning in the sea of insanity. :lol: Can't talk underwater without wasting your breath, ya know? XD
She supposed it was the turtle’s ‘game face’- being attached permanently to the most terrifying senior resident in the hospital would make anyone develop a defense mechanism.
She got used to it, do or die, baby!
Aibon grabbed Nono’s arm and they waded through the mess down the slippery hallway, past the foam machine that had been steadily churning foam all night. One last time, Aibon thought fondly as they both raced up the fire escape stairwell to wreck more havoc on the senior attendings who lived upstairs.
I miss them...
“So, are you making any headway on your Psych case?”
We need a point an laugh emote. :lol: :lol:
“What’s Code Brown?” Risa asked.
Haha, oh sweet child. XD
An impending sense of dread filled Risa. “Like a tour?”
Nom nom, there's the bite.
Eri considered her friend with a pained look, “You know, sometimes, it’s like I don’t know you anymore.”
Kameshige is :heart:
Reina felt hot tears of frustration sting behind her closed eyes.
Aww, poor kid. :(
“Look, you’re a doctor, these are diseased penii. Deal with it.”
Ooo, yuck.
Eri mentally reviewed the day- it had been good. Work had kept them all busy enough that Miki hadn’t asked for anything outrageous, like the roasted pig trotter Eri had to scour half the city for last week.
Ai just doesn't understand the crazy. XD
The off-duty senior residents moved the last of Kago’s belongings into her new flat.
Sounds like the beginning of a party.
They were more than halfway through their 18-hour shift and everyone now looked at Eri with newfound respect.
She be awesome.
Sayu didn’t even open her eyes as she moved to make space for Reina, who promptly snuggled up to Sayu. She pressed her ear against Sayu’s back, concentrating on the comforting sound of another person’s heartbeat.
See, nothing wrong with it.
“It figures that Eri would be the only person in the world who’d recognize it,” said Risa with amusement. “This girl failed half her papers one semester because not a single professor could identify her diagrams, even with labels and footnotes.”
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Yossi craned over to look at the cluster of empty bottles beside Rika. You knew Ishikawa was utterly smashed when she started referencing her (nonexistant) penis. That, and referring to herself as ‘ore-sama’. Rika tended to be a non-drunk- meaning, she would never appear drunk in the slightest until you spoke to her.
:rofl: :rofl:
Ai took the bottle of vodka from the mini-fridge, and as an afterthought, pulled out a carton of chocolate milk as well. She drank first from the carton, and then took a gulp of vodka.
Yikes, I'd need something stronger than that.
“So, how was your field trip with Hell’s Resident? Or do I even need to ask? I saw Reina running around pretending not to cry.”
“It can basically be summarized into two words- Scrotal. Warts. No wait, three words- Outbreak.”
First it was aww, then it was ugh.
Takahashi poured the remaining chocolate milk into the vodka bottle and chugged the concoction before responding, “Towards the end of the shift, the entire emergency floor started paging me as Dr. Bukkake.”
Words do not describe. XD XD XD XD
You know, if I keep going with this, I'll just end up quoting the rest of the Takagaki encounter, so let's move on.
Her heart stopped as she stared down at her blood-covered pillow. “Oh, shit.”
Guh WHA?! :shocked
-
OMFG BRB DYING
OK GET READ FOR AN EPIC POST/REVIEW FROM ME. THIS CHAPTER IS BEGGING FOR IT!
“So, who bet for tonight in the pool?” Ai asked, still engrossed in her game.
^this is exactly what silly douchebaggery i engage in with my friends LOL
All the senior residents, save for Miki and Rika, had the day off and everyone decided to leave the care of Ai, Sayu and Reina to the eviller of the two choices, for some reason.
DYNAMIC DUO!!!!
Although she was allergic to most forms of exercise and recreational sports, their ‘leisurely jog’ turned out to be a sprint race around campus due to their competitive natures.
^ROFL! This was so true I couldnt even handle myself xD
“I think we should stop saying sleeping- having sex like it’s a subcategory. I can tell what you mean by the context of the sentence.” Risa deadpanned.
LOL THIS!
She supposed it was the turtle’s ‘game face’- being attached permanently to the most terrifying senior resident in the hospital would make anyone develop a defense mechanism.
God I could only imagine
“Number one: my word is law. If I tell you to do something, you do it. If you don’t get why, you ask *after* you’ve done it,”
“You’re grunts, flunkies, bottom of the food chain at Asa UH- you do everything asked of you until you drop and you don’t complain.”
Rule Two: you sleep when you can, where you can. Good luck fighting me and other seniors for a futon. Which brings me to Rule Three: If I’m sleeping, don’t wake me unless your patient is actually dying and the dying patient better not be dead when I get there. Not only will you have killed someone, you would have woken me for no good reason. We clear?”
It's official, Miki is my dream boss LOL
Yasuda leapt up and kissed Kaori full on the lips, “Thanks, Kao! I’m going to look for Rika-chan now!”
LOLWUT JUST HAPPENED
“Like a- ‘you’re handling this case’, Doctor.” Rika handed the patient’s records over to her, “Assess him and do his labs. Congratulations, you’re flying solo on this case.”
I just imagined Rika being completely perfect in every way, saying this with total calm on her face in her entire perfection ad risa being like OMFG SHIT MY PANTS SERIOUSLY?! hahaha
“Need help, little lady?” A voice burred out, close to her ear. Sayu gave a startled yelp and would’ve dropped her files if not for Eri’s steadying hand. “Going up?” Eri pushed a wheelchair into the lift and pressed the button for the third floor.
ERI TO THE RESCUE!!!
“Kame, go show her how its done and then she can do the rest. Come straight back after,” Miki snapped impatiently.
Like a loyal dog at its master's feet, Eri does as Miki bids ahahah
Ai kept up pretty well thus far. Dr. Yoshizawa was no slacker, so the breakneck pace Dr. Fujimoto was putting them through didn’t phase her in the slightest. But she was now staring at the pile of a dozen admissions forms or so with a look of mild revulsion on her face.
“Look, you’re a doctor, these are diseased penii. Deal with it.” Miki thrust an entire box of surgical gloves into Ai’s hands and moved to assist Nono with a gurney being pushed down the corridor.
OMG YESSSSSSSS AHAHHA
Eri sighed, “Well, it’s a long story- but basically, Inaba-dono caught Fujimoto-san messing around with her nurses and now we get assigned every undesirable case in the hospital.” She pulled a set of gloves out and peered out towards the waiting lounge, murmuring absently, “You know, I think I’ve seen some of these guys before at the sex shop.”
I think i just died lol
“How do you do it, Eri?” Ai asked.
“Well, you just ask them to take their pants off and show you-“
...yeah, definitely just died LOL
“It figures that Eri would be the only person in the world who’d recognize it,” said Risa with amusement. “This girl failed half her papers one semester because not a single professor could identify her diagrams, even with labels and footnotes.”
Definition of my life.
“Don’t worry, Kame. Our talents will never be appreciated until we’re dead, like Picasso.” Miki declared dramatically.
Kaori was the last to arrive, closing the door behind her, “Who’s dying? Fujimoto, nani sore? Shiitake?”
PERFECT QUOTES I CANNOT EVEN!
“Scheduled one for tomorrow morning. We need to hire more tech girls- there’s a backlog the size of my penis.”
LOL WHAT?! :shocked
Yossi craned over to look at the cluster of empty bottles beside Rika. You knew Ishikawa was utterly smashed when she started referencing her (nonexistant) penis. That, and referring to herself as ‘ore-sama’. Rika tended to be a non-drunk- meaning, she would never appear drunk in the slightest until you spoke to her.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lol
“Let’s go out and do something fun,” Rika smacked Yossi’s thigh, laughing.
Yossi blinked, her racing heart confused at the sudden shift in emotions. “What? No.” Drunk Ishikawa is never to be let out in public. The Chief actually posted a memo on the board following the debacle that was Ichii Sayaka’s farewell party.
“Oh, come on- it’ll be hilarious.”
“The last time you said that when you were drunk, Kei-chan had to bail our hungover asses out of jail at six in the morning just in time for patient rounds.”
Frantic rapping on the balcony sliding door made them look back. Yaguchi had stuck an entire pizza face-first onto the glass, mouthing the words ‘have some’ while pointing at it.
“Oresama wa pizza ga daisuki!”
It was going to be a long night, Yossi sighed.
YES. PLEASE. YES.
Takahashi poured the remaining chocolate milk into the vodka bottle and chugged the concoction before responding, “Towards the end of the shift, the entire emergency floor started paging me as Dr. Bukkake.”
Note to self: Aim for this nickname LOL
“You know, if I don’t ever handle another penis in my life, I’ll be happy. One of the patients actually asked for my number, mid-inspection.”
I know for a fact this is common LOL
“I told him we needed to burn the warts off with acid or liquid nitrogen. He passed out.”
AHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA :lol:
Risa laughed, “That’s my Aichan. C’mon, you guys survived 18 hours of hell- let’s go raid the dining hall pantry and share the joy that is vodka and chocolate milk with the rest.”
“I don’t know if the rest of the girls are up to it.”
“More joy for us then.”
MEGA D'AWWWWWWW
Her heart stopped as she stared down at her blood-covered pillow. “Oh, shit.”
TEH FUCK IS GOIN ON?!?!?!?!! :panic:
WHAT A WAY TO END AN EPIC CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok first off, I don't think I'll ever be satisfied during internship and residency if my boss isn't Miki LOL DAMN LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!
And Ishiyoshi, MORE OF IT NEXT CHAPTER. I SMELL SHIT BREWIN AND I WANT IT BAD LOL

OMGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! LONG-ASS CHAPTER- AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :heart: :heart:
i missed this fic... :grin: its the only fic where i can get my ReiKi dosage.. XD
Chapter 8
“Actually, we’ve been too busy to notice you,” Risa piped up, leaning against the doorframe, dressed in her footie pajamas, complete with tail.
LOL! that is too cute.. XD
“Tsuji-san asked us if we wanted in on the betting pool for the both of you, was how we realized.”
a betting pool?! that is awesome!! i wonder who'll win.. :w00t:
“Reina, you know we love you right?” Eri mumbled into her hair. “Please don’t sleep with- I mean, have sex with Gottsuan. Not until Thursday. ‘Cos that’s when Dr. Fujimoto has her bet ‘til-“
hahaha.. i thought Eri is truly concerned for Reina and not about the betting.. :lol:
Risa was still hugging Sayu’s doorframe, a contemplative look on her face. “So. This was officially the worst intervention ever.”
i'm with Eri on this one.. that was an intervention?? why intervene something AWESOME?? :nervous don't intervene!! :angry:
“ Uh, is Reina-?” She trailed off, glancing around the room where the rest of the interns were hanging out in, not seeing her intern.
weee!! can't stay away from Reina.. :wub:
“Um, Reina?” Maki said tentatively. An exact total of two heartbeats passed (Maki was counting) and Reina threw her door open, yanked Maki into the room and slammed the door shut again.
YES!!!!!! *insert grinning and dirty ReiKi thoughts* :inlove:
“So, who bet for tonight in the pool?” Ai asked, still engrossed in her game.
LOL.. i can totally imagine Ai-chan asking that.. XD i wanna know the betting too.. :grin:
Ai-chan making her own secret(?) concoction of oatmeal.. XD and Risa actually tasted it?.. LOL.. i didn't know randomness attacks Ai-chan too.. :P
Midway through the third ring, Reina picked up, short of breath and panting heavily, “I’m- coming. Wait,” she growled. They heard Maki’s voice calling for Reina and the line disconnected abruptly.
*insert more dirty thoughts here..* :kekeke:
The doors to the cafeteria were flung open and a sweat-drenched Reina stomped up to the table. Ai slid a bowl of oatmeal over and Reina dug into the unappetizing mush without a word.
i was gonna say more dirty thoughts again but then my train of thought came into a sweaty Reina.. just because she never sweats.. LOL.. i'd like to see a sweaty Reina.. XD LOL, sly Ai-chan.. and i can't believe Reina was able to chug it down. XD
Sayu giggled, “Was Goto-san oishii?”
:lol: i wanna hug Sayu..
“We didn’t sleep toge- have sex, you know.”
“I know, you know better, right?”
“Not that I don’t want to,” Reina mused.
“It’s not a good idea to get involved with your sempai, Tanakacchi.”
“Why not?” Ai’s voice startled the both of them and they whirled around to see her following them.
but in my mind you already did.. :P and Risa, stop being so rational and let your junior(?) have some fun!
i'm gonna side with Ai-chan here and not because I want more ReiKi moments :roll: but because she is RIGHT! XD
laughing like a maniac with the "-having sex subcategory" :lol:
“I don’t even know if she likes me- wants to sleep with me. In a sex way,” Reina clarified.
LOL?! thats a new way of saying it.. in a sex way.. XD anyway, Reina! of course Maki wants you that way.. :thumbsup
Risa shook her head at that, while Ai giggled, “Who wouldn’t want Tanaka Reina in a sex way?”
is that a hint of ReinAi?? :lol: i am agreeing so much with Ai-chan..
Reina frowned and whirled on Ai, “Who? Who thinks we’re sleeping together, in a sex way?”
*quickly raises hands* me me me me!!
“Number one: my word is law. If I tell you to do something, you do it. If you don’t get why, you ask *after* you’ve done it,” Miki enunciated clearly.
its the golden rule!! :rofl:
the two-top pulling off another legendary prank :rofl:, poor Kaorin though, maple syrup in your hair is nooo fun but i think her hair would be smelling amazing.. XD but awwwwwww its too bad its the last time.. :(
“Not entirely debilitating, but he’s Code Browned twice.”
well that sounds like crap?
“Loss of bowel control, Risa-chan. We have wonderful code colors for every situation in this hospital.”
:lol: it is crap?!.. XD
“I think everyone should experience a Code Brown up in the Psych ward once in their life. It’s not just a matter of cleaning an embarassed patient and their bed. Psych cases are a lot more, creative, with their biowaste than most other patients.”
:rofl: its funny, but i seriously don't wanna see that.. :P
having to use a gurney to carry medical files?! now that is a lot of files! the Turtle being able to think to use a gurney in the first place is ingenious! :yep:
“Well, technically, bad news for them means good news for us. We’ll get to recommend surgery and maybe get to participate. It’s good news all ‘round, actually.”
*facepalms* a surgeon's perspective, but she does have a point just don't tell her patients that.. :lol:
poor Reina being assigned in the trauma ward(?).. can i give her a hug too? -not in a sex way.. :P
i don't know who got it worse.. Ai-chan or Reina.. :nervous and yes! new respect for the Turtle for being able to keep up with their Yankii resident.. :bow:
Sayu didn’t even open her eyes as she moved to make space for Reina, who promptly snuggled up to Sayu. She pressed her ear against Sayu’s back, concentrating on the comforting sound of another person’s heartbeat.
‘Sounds different, though,’ was Reina’s last thought before falling asleep.
weeeeeee, TanaShige! :love: but ReiKi is better and Reina knows it.. :lol:
Eri and Miki's mutual understanding for their 'art' more--> :lol:
and drunk Rika is awesome!! her and her imaginary penis.. LMAO.. (seriously i was laughing so hard while reading this chapter)
“Can’t be as bad as my glamorous solo case- my patient enjoys the art of calligraphy, using his bodily waste.”
:rofl: :rofl: even though the mental picture is uberrrrly gross! that is funny!!
“You know, if I don’t ever handle another penis in my life, I’ll be happy. One of the patients actually asked for my number, mid-inspection.”
ughhhhh.. ewwwwwww.. the nerve!! :smhid
“I told him we needed to burn the warts off with acid or liquid nitrogen. He passed out.”
LOL!!!!! translation - hells no.. :smhid a great way to turn him down.. :grin:
Aya woke up with a start. It was dark out- she glanced over to the digital clock on her nightstand noting that she’d slept nearly an entire day away. She sat up and winced as her head throbbed painfully from oversleeping.
Yawning, she flipped on the light to illuminate the room and rubbed the sleep from her eyes and face and was shocked as her hand came away sticky with blood.
Her heart stopped as she stared down at her blood-covered pillow. “Oh, shit.”
this one killed my laughing spree.. :shocked it suddenly turned serious.. does it have something to do with all the pills she is taking? why was she taking the pills in the first place.. XD 'oh shit' indeed.. :doh:
* i don't think i have quoted so much in my life.. lol.. and sorry if half of it don't make sense.. XD*
-
Hey, on call's back, nice to see Grac!!!
right first off
Risa yawned and shuffled back into her own room, her tail dragging across the floor behind her
I really want to see this in real life! :wub:
Blimey though Grac you really came back with a biggie though didn't you, still nice to see all the residence, well, had an um intresting day with Miki :sweatdrop:, why do I laugh at the image of Ai looking at genetal warts? :?
well, at least Reina made it to her room, well ok she was still with Maki but, hey, small steps and all that...
-
Thanks for updating!!
Love the interaction of all the characters!
Sorry for the short comment! :sweatdrop:
But with due respect, really appreciate your update. :otomerika: :yossi:
-
“Don’t worry, Kame. Our talents will never be appreciated until we’re dead, like Picasso.” Miki declared dramatically.
I remembered the Haromoni epi, Eri and Miki-sama's drawing were similar.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
I actually love this pair, Ebil Miki-sama and Ahou Eri XD More....... :P
What's wrong with Ayaya? :?

Chapter 8: 18 hours to Foreshadowing
Reina buried her head under Sayu’s pillow and groaned, “I’m pathetic. Please tell me only you noticed and not the whole goddamn hospital?”
Wha-? :lol:
“Actually, we’ve been too busy to notice you,” Risa piped up, leaning against the doorframe, dressed in her footie pajamas, complete with tail. “Tsuji-san asked us if we wanted in on the betting pool for the both of you, was how we realized.”
:lol: so the whole hospital did realize. Oh, on the side note, Risa is cute like that >__<
Ai was glued to her pink Nintendo DS, but somehow negotiated her way into Sayu’s room and onto the recliner. Eri trailed in after her and shuffled sleepily over to Sayu’s bed, climbing in next to Reina and spooning her.
Woah, all of them gathered at Sayu’s room, what is it? Some kind of meeting xD~~. Ah, but, what Ai did, kinda remind me of how I used to read a book while walking, it’s dangerous though lol
Risa yawned and shuffled back into her own room, her tail dragging across the floor behind her.
Cute >__<
“That’s ‘cause I’m just lucky like that. Mou, Ai-chan- stop that,” Risa complained as Ai stirred a spoonful of grape jelly into the sticky mixture.
Wah? Is that edible? O_O just imagining the food making me want to- >_>
Risa shook her head, but opened her mouth for a second spoonful anyway.
Isn’t Risa so kind here? XD no, really, I am sure that wasn’t oishii at all.
sleeping- having sex with with Goto-san
What with the- lol. Couldn’t they just say sleeping?
Feeling a headache coming on from the conversation, Risa was beginning to regret her decision to accompany Reina back to the dorms
Lol. I could so imagine Risa’s expression and regret there xDD~
“Who’s that?” Nono asked her friend, who shrugged. They laughed as they saw people trying to push the invading bubbles out of their rooms in futility. The fuss and noise would wake those who were still sleeping and they’d end up having foam invade their rooms as they opened their doors to find out what the disturbance was about.
:rofl: :rofl: the dorm was so lively in the morning. Ah, but, Kago will leave…>__>’ and that’s sure a legend at her last day lol.
“Not entirely debilitating, but he’s Code Browned twice.”
Huh? What’s that?
Risa grimaced at that, “Oh, wow. I don’t want to see that.”
if i were her, i dont think i want to see that too >__>''
“Uso!”
:lol: such a luck
“You’re such a lifesaver. What would I do without you?” Sayu pretended to swoon, clutching at Eri’s arm and pressed a playful kiss onto her friend’s cheek.
Oh…..wah >___< they are really playful with each other
“Well, technically, bad news for them means good news for us. We’ll get to recommend surgery and maybe get to participate. It’s good news all ‘round, actually.”
:lol: Sayu’s way of thinking was lol
“That’s all I’ve been doing all fucking morning. Time of death: 12:56pm.” Reina felt hot tears of frustration sting behind her closed eyes.
I feel really bad for Reina here. :( I never could imagine how a doctor felt when they have to inform such thing to the patient’s family.
“No, I meant, how do you deal with all this and Fujimoto-san everyday?”
Eri’s awesome at some point. No, really..she’s really awesome, dealing with Fujimoto-san like that everyday.
Aibon peered around her armful of pillows and stuffed toys to give Yossi a sweet smile, “Not unless you plan to fork out half the rent, Tou-chan.”
Tou-chan? Huh? Otou-chan? Daddy? O_O whose the Kaa-chan then? Rika? :lol:
‘Sounds different, though,’ was Reina’s last thought before falling asleep.
Reina cant sleep without hearing other’s people heartbeat? Ah, the habit she got from always sleeping with Maki.
“Don’t worry, Kame. Our talents will never be appreciated until we’re dead, like Picasso.” Miki declared dramatically.
Kaori was the last to arrive, closing the door behind her, “Who’s dying? Fujimoto, nani sore? Shiitake?”
:rofl: :rofl: I laugh so hard at this >__< shiitake lol :rofl:
“The last time you said that when you were drunk, Kei-chan had to bail our hungover asses out of jail at six in the morning just in time for patient rounds.”
Wha-? Lol, what are they doing till they are going into jail? >__<
Ai took the bottle of vodka from the mini-fridge, and as an afterthought, pulled out a carton of chocolate milk as well. She drank first from the carton, and then took a gulp of vodka.
Umm, what’s the use of vodka+milk mixed? To relief stress?
“I told him we needed to burn the warts off with acid or liquid nitrogen. He passed out.”
:lol:
“I don’t know if the rest of the girls are up to it.”
“More joy for us then.”
Ho? Gaki-san is really sneaky lol
Yawning, she flipped on the light to illuminate the room and rubbed the sleep from her eyes and face and was shocked as her hand came away sticky with blood.
Her heart stopped as she stared down at her blood-covered pillow. “Oh, shit.”
Wah? What’d she did? What’d happened to her? Umm..could it be that she forget to wash her hands after she’s treating a patient? Or…is it something bad? She wasn’t sick, was she? O_O
Did you know: Residents can have crazy shifts up to 24 hours long.
I could imagine it when I am being at the, what’s it called, oh, emergency room. When I was there, I could see how busy that room was. Kinda scary actually. >___<’
Sankyuu for the update, I will wait patiently till the next update.
Till that time, Gracula-san ganbareyo! ^o^/

Chapter Nine
“Miki, I need you to cover my morning rounds with Takahashi,” Yossi whispered into her phone.
“Dare?” Came the surprisingly alert, albeit irate reply.
“My intern, Takahashi Ai.”
“Ah. Bukkake. Why the hell? I’m not due in til 10am.”
Yossi peeked down at the reason why, shifting slowly as not to wake it. “She’s not due in ‘til 10 either. Please, Miki, I really, really need you to take her for today,” she begged in a low voice, not wanting to wake anyone, but most importantly, not wanting to jar her throbbing head.
“Shit. You guys are killing me. Next thing I know Rika-chan and Gocchin’ll be calling me.”
A small whimper of discontent emanated from the warm body pinning her down onto the bed and Yossi froze, holding her breath until the movements settled. “I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that.”
“Whatever. I hope you understand that this means yakiniku. With many meats of fabled renown.”
“Yes, yes. Unicorns and babies, your favorite. I promise,” Yossi breathed testily, cutting the line and tossing her mobile aside.
“Yossui, are you still drunk?” Maki asked sleepily, close to her ear, tightening her hold around Yossi’s neck.
“Shut up and figure out how to pry your stupid intern off me before she wakes up.”
-----
Miki snapped her mobile phone close and turned her attention back to the shivering, half-naked Eri she had managed to corner.
“Hayaku, pantsu wo nuge.” Miki commanded.
“Pa- pantsu?” Eri stuttered, gripping the waistband of her last article of clothing tightly.
“Your scrub pants, Kame.”
“Can’t I just go downstairs get you a set of blue scrubs?” Eri implored pitifully, her pants already halfway off.
“Does it look like I want to spend another minute in these?” Miki retorted, gesturing towards the pink scrubs she was wearing. The words ‘Fujimoto Miki, OB/GYN’ was written in block letters across the front of the top with a marker.
Miki had woken up in the maternity ward to the sounds of babies crying. A photocopy of a hastily handwritten letter issued by Chief Nakazawa approving her admission to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department due to ‘her passionate interest for female reproductive organs’ was taped to her forehead. It was countersigned by Miki herself, if the drunken scrawl counted as a signature.
‘Damn senpais,’ she seethed, dodging into an empty room as she tried to figure out a way to get off the floor without being seen and ridiculed. A quick call to her intern had brought Eri scrambling to her aid. It was a testament to Miki’s vigorous conditioning that Eri did not even protest- or rather, she did protest albeit feebly, but still moved promptly to obey Miki’s orders.
“Solid work. See you later.” And with that, Miki dashed out of the room, pulling on Eri’s clothes and leaving behind a thoroughly confused intern clad in nothing but her underwear.
Gathering the shreds of her dignity and the pink scrubs Miki had left behind, Eri examined the scrub top with Miki’s name on it.
“I could totally make an effigy out of this,” Eri mumbled aloud, remembering the latex blow-up doll she had stashed in her room, courtesy of last week’s porn run.
She was so caught up in her passive-aggressive musing that she didn’t notice Yuko walking into the room until the chief was almost close enough to scare the pants off her, had she some.
“Ara, what do we have here?”
“Nakazawa-sa… sama!” Eri jumped, clutching Miki’s top against her body.
Yuko liked her already. Smirking at the almost-naked stammering intern, she eyed the pink scrub top with Miki’s name on it and put two-and-two together. Kaori was standing by the door giggling- the two chiefs came by to retrieve Miki and view the aftermath of their prank, not expecting to discover Eri in her stead.
Shrugging out of her white lab coat, Yuko draped it over Eri and ruffled her hair. “Come on, cute stuff. If you’re gonna burn an effigy of your senior resident, I should get to watch and laugh, at least. God knows there have been enough burning effigies of me around here.” With an arm around Eri’s shoulders, Yuko led the intern out of the room.
“Burning latex and silicon is harmful to the environment,” Eri responded absently, to the confusion of the two seniors.
“I like this batch,” Yuko remarked happily to Kaori.
Iida was quiet the entire walk down the hallway, a disturbed look on her face. Punching the lift doors close, she murmured broodingly, “No, I can’t think of a pun for this one.”
-----
Morning couldn’t come soon enough. Aya stared out her window, slumped over her desk piled high with textbooks and case notes. A sharp rap on her room door jolted her to action.
“Aya-chan?”
“Come in!” Aya called, sitting on her bed, hyperaware of the pillow behind her, now flipped face down to hide the bloody evidence of last night’s episode.
“We missed you last night, Ayaya,” Rika smiled at her, taking a seat at Aya’s desk and examining the open book on top of the pile. “Studying?”
Aya gave Rika a sketchy nod and changed the subject, “So, how was the party last night?”
Rika was cursed with perfect recall of every one of her drunken misadventures. As if that wasn’t enough, a HD recording of her behavior the previous night would always show up at breakfast the next morning like a post-mortem debriefing, courtesy of the Two Top.
“Rika-sama made an appearance. I was hanging halfway over Kago-chan’s balcony rail, loudly propositioning streetwalkers and complimenting their breasts.” Rika grimaced, recalling how Yossi was hanging onto her legs, emphatically telling her she was going to ‘fall to her fucking death and dash her goddamn brains all over the pavement/prostitutes’.
“Streetwalkers?”
“Dodgy neighbourhood, cheap rent.”
“Souka.”
“Didn’t Miki come look for you last night? She came back to the dorms kinda early with the senpais,” Rika asked, puzzled.
Aya shook her head, “No, but I did hear them come back, though.”
“Anyway, wanna go grab some breakfast? I need to sit down with you and talk about Mori-kun’s surgery.”
“Sure, let me go wash up and get changed.”
Rika swiveled around in the chair when a blood-stained shirt in Aya’s laundry hamper caught her eye. Scooting closer to examine it, she frowned at the volume of blood on the shirt. “Ayaya?”
Aya popped out of the bathroom, in the midst of brushing her teeth and froze as she noticed what Rika was staring at. Sighing, she ducked back into the bathroom to spit and turned to see Rika at the doorframe with a concerned look on her face.
“I don’t know how that lipstick got on my collar, honest,” Aya joked weakly.
-----
The interns had the run of the cafeteria that morning, save for the odd loiterer from the breakfast rush. They got to start off a little later today, since their senior residents were somehow coincidentally, conveniently scheduled to a later shift the day after a massive party.
Eri was cheerfully recounting her traumatic anecdote to her doukies, finding it more humorous now with breakfast in her system. That, and having Sayu pat her head excessively to comfort her worked wonders.
Ai was slumped over the breakfast table, throbbing head resting on her arms. “You don’t have to be so worried, Gaki-san. I’m perfectly fine,” she said hoarsely to a fussing Risa.
Risa continued petting her friend’s head with one hand, clutching a paper bag with the other. “Of course I’m concerned, Ai-chan. You were really out of it last night.”
“You were screaming ‘won’t you take me to funky town’ over and over again at the top of your voice.” Sayu laughed.
Miki appeared at their table and abruptly pulled up a chair, shocking the table into silence. “Funky Town is th’ best song evar,” nodding in approval at the prone intern.
She tossed an IV bag at Eri and placed a bottle of oxygenated water on the table. “Here, I bring gifts. Get to it, Kame- and then fetch me my breakfast foods.” Eri dutifully broke the seal on the IV needle and started the line on Ai without a single word of protest.
“Don’t think just because you’re doing one nice thing for Ai-chan that it absolves you of all the crap you put them through.” Niigaki glared at Fujimoto ineffectually, and Miki glared right back.
Miki sneered, “Nice? I just need her to be at the top of her game today because the last thing I need is for a hungover intern to puke into my patient’s abdominal cavity.”
“What?” Ai jumped up suddenly. “Ow!”
“Don’t move, Ai-chan,” Eri scolded, taping the needle down.
“Yocchan decided to let you scrub in with me and Kame today and we’ll be cutting open your very first colorectal. Isn’t that exciting?”
Ai turned pale at that and Risa rushed to place the paperbag to her face.

Its just occurred to me that I don't actually have to match the previous chapter's length and that my earlier chapters were even shorter than this. So, hopefully, shorter=frequent. Thanks for your patience. And as a reward, an omake (i suck at this, but at least I labelled it properly!):

OMG BRB SHAKING CRYING, WILL EDIT
“Ah. Bukkake. Why the hell? I’m not due in til 10am.”
LOLFOREVER
A small whimper of discontent emanated from the warm body pinning her down onto the bed and Yossi froze, holding her breath until the movements settled. “I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that.”
ooooooooo~ what do we have here? pimp yossi~
Whatever. I hope you understand that this means yakiniku. With many meats of fabled renown.”
“Yes, yes. Unicorns and babies, your favorite. I promise,” Yossi breathed testily, cutting the line and tossing her mobile aside.

“Yossui, are you still drunk?” Maki asked sleepily, close to her ear, tightening her hold around Yossi’s neck.
“Shut up and figure out how to pry your stupid intern off me before she wakes up.”

Miki snapped her mobile phone close and turned her attention back to the shivering, half-naked Eri she had managed to corner.

:lol:
“I could totally make an effigy out of this,” Eri mumbled aloud, remembering the latex blow-up doll she had stashed in her room, courtesy of last week’s porn run.

“Rika-sama made an appearance. I was hanging halfway over Kago-chan’s balcony rail, loudly propositioning streetwalkers and complimenting their breasts.” Rika grimaced, recalling how Yossi was hanging onto her legs, emphatically telling her she was going to ‘fall to her fucking death and dash her goddamn brains all over the pavement/prostitutes’.
BAHAHHA
Aya popped out of the bathroom, in the midst of brushing her teeth and froze as she noticed what Rika was staring at. Sighing, she ducked back into the bathroom to spit and turned to see Rika at the doorframe with a concerned look on her face.
“I don’t know how that lipstick got on my collar, honest,” Aya joked weakly.
THE LIESSSS
She tossed an IV bag at Eri and placed a bottle of oxygenated water on the table. “Here, I bring gifts. Get to it, Kame- and then fetch me my breakfast foods.” Eri dutifully broke the seal on the IV needle and started the line on Ai without a
single word of protest.

I need new animals for my update dance! But since I don't have time to search new animals I want a lizard next!, I used penguin heavy rotating at full speed to express my excitement . Okay, more like rotating at standard speed, but I assure you, it's a full-of-joy-speed! :deco: I love this fic, really. I love it SO MUCH that I want to do a comment full of dancing animals and key-smashing :heart: But work is calling me (and my brain is running away) so I'll be very brief with the non-coherent fangirling:
:heart: CUTE CHIBI DRAWINGS :heart: skdjfskfd :heart: My poor semi-nude passive-agressive Eri and traumatized Mikipinku :heart: They are more adorable each time I look at them. AAWWW material 100%!! :heart: You have to do more. YOU HAVE TOO :panic: :heart:
“Rika-sama made an appearance. I was hanging halfway over Kago-chan’s balcony rail, loudly propositioning streetwalkers and complimenting their breasts.” Rika grimaced, recalling how Yossi was hanging onto her legs, emphatically telling her she was going to ‘fall to her fucking death and dash her goddamn brains all over the pavement/prostitutes’.

Please everyone, take a moment to picture properly this image on your minds. I'm sure this image can make everyone laugh by recalling it, no matter the situation :rofl: Probably one of the best/crackiest part of the chapter. The whole chapter is awesome, but you know I'm maybe too biased here. Rika-sama ad her non-existent penis is my new heroin. Also, prostitutes :rofl: Always adding extra crack. And by the way, drunk!Nakazawa vs drunk!Rika showdown must happen soon, while being cheered by Yaguchi/Pizza, if possible :lol:
I owe you two proper comments now! :cokecat: And lol grac, you have been yelled to again. Congratulations! XD
Now back to procrastinating work. It seems I won't be sleeping much tonight either~ :wigglypanda:

:lol: Well, at least it seems as though perhpas Miki has sorted out her specialty, with a little help it seems..... speaking of a little help seems as though Yossie needs to get herself out of, well, it swould seem a tight spot!
:smhid Poor Eri, you know I wonder is she really will make that effigy? XD
-
Caught up :lol:
Miki is evil and it brings up such memories of the weird times working at a hospital
-
No update, just replies and some doodles.
Suki: Miki doesn't need to be an Obgyn to get woman off their pants..
This is the truth. I want it on a mug or something.
KJ: :lol: i love how you have to describe your bodily responses straightaway before editing a reply.

[4/13/2011 5:19:37 AM] Grac: lol :lol:
A whole good hour of reading and fangirling xD At 5 in the morning. xD I’d only stay up that late for you~ (and I mean that in the most innocent way possible :3)
^ and wow, look how much prettier our convos can be. :mon lol:
Okay, so chapter 8 is just way too epic, I have no idea how to start this comment. :bleed eyes: Seriously though, as ropychan will tell you just as enthusiastically, EVERY single damn sentence in this chapter can be quoted and squeeeeed over. XD I think it’s a much better idea for grac to post shorter chapters, so I won’t look like I’m quoting a story’s worth of goodness. :nervous
Anyway, I’m not sure if this comment is going to do the chapter any justice, but I’ll try. :mon geek: I’ll give you my thoughts on each scene, and maybe include a favourite quote or two. Or three. Or more. Gaaaaaaaah, I hate you and your quotableness! :gmon pissed: It’s infuriating.
I’ve been feeling kind of HarryPottersick (just watched Hallows again ;___; ), so here goes…
Scene #1:
*Reina and the fail GoRokkies intervention*
So, here we have Reiki progress. Well… a little bit of regress at the beginning, but then back into full swing at the end there with the yankii yanking (aw that sounds cute) Dr. Goto into her room and shutting the door behind them. Um. Yum? :drool: xD I do think Reina and Maki make a pretty damn good-looking couple. I also like Reina’s foulness in this chapter, it’s endearing somehow. :wriggly: I don’t usually say much in regards to what I like about Reina (though that genuine, toothy smile of hers is a GODSEND), but I guess, thanks for the opportunity here? The ‘intervention’ from the others was cute. :wub: Nobody seemed to know what was going on (Sayu & Eri :cool2:) or care much (gamer!Ai-chan :mon gamer:). I’m not even sure that Gaki-san put all that much effort into it. xD But it was nice reading about GoRokkies; any time with the lot of them together is happy time! :gmon twirl:
“Or the fact that you’ve been surgically attached to Dr. Gottsuan’s fine ass the past week?”
YES. XD You can count on Sayu to say the best, life-affirming things. :inlove: And I just love the way our girls play around with the medical language. It’s a combination of hilarious and cute and I can’t get enough of it! :otomerika:
Risa piped up, leaning against the doorframe, dressed in her footie pajamas, complete with tail.
If that were Eri you’d given the footie pyjamas to, I’d probably have died. :mon angel: I’m sorry, I’m just so Eri-biased. But Gaki-san works too. :luvluv2:
Ai was glued to her pink Nintendo DS, but somehow negotiated her way into Sayu’s room and onto the recliner.
Practice makes perfect. :thumbsup You can tell this one can probably weave through any obstacle course without a problem. :lol: Thank you grac, for gamer!Ai-chan. :heart: The mere mention of her sends me into kyaaaa mode. :nya:
And why does Eri climb into SAYU’S bed only to spoon Reina? ;____;
“Please don’t sleep with- I mean, have sex with Gottsuan. Not until Thursday. ‘Cos that’s when Dr. Fujimoto has her bet ‘til-“
And the insanity begins xDDDD
Scene #2:
*GoRookies and the bonding over breakfast hilarity*
Okay, so upon reading this particular scene for the first time, I really couldn’t stop squeeing and rereading. :tama-yeeaah: There’s this. Um. Particular TakaGaki scene. THAT PWNS ALL.
And everybody would’ve enjoyed all the sleep-sex chaos that was thrown back and forth (except maybe one wee little friend of ours… XD). Oh grac, you sure do know how to entertain. :love: Also, I really loved how you have everybody in character; Ai, Gaki-san, Eri, Sayu, Reina. Their characters are perfectly moulded here and it’s always such a pleasure watching them interact. :mon fu:
“…. Mou, Ai-chan- stop that,” Risa complained as Ai stirred a spoonful of grape jelly into the sticky mixture.
“Shh. I’m cooking.”
Ai held up a spoonful of her oatmeal, staring intently at Risa’s lips with her own mouth half-open as if to will those pursed lips to accept her concoction. Risa gave the offering a suspicious look, but obliged her friend and consumed the brownish-grey oatmeal without complaint.
“Oishii?”
Risa shook her head, but opened her mouth for a second spoonful anyway.
THIS THIS THIS!!!!!!
Sdkfsddfggkkljnskdf *___* agdtstggfgfjgvgfayaaaaaah!!!! :nya: :wriggly: :luvluv1: :luvluv2:
The TakaGaki fangirl in me had a bloody field day right there! :inlove: :inlove:
It’s too freaking cute. ;____; If that is Ai-chan’s idea of cooking… sensei, please teach me! :mon pray2:
Gaki-san not enjoying but opening her mouth “for a second spoonful anyway”… kill me now. :fainted:
Midway through the third ring, Reina picked up, short of breath and panting heavily, “I’m- coming. Wait,” she growled. They heard Maki’s voice calling for Reina and the line disconnected abruptly.
Everyone in the vicinity stared at their table, shocked and Sayu broke the silence by laughing and clapping her hands gleefully, “Omoshiroi!”
LMAO. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
It is SO like Sayu to say something like that, whilst everybody else is in various states of o____o hahahahaaa… the timing is spot on, grac… I’ve told you before already, but I’m always in awe of the comedy (or crack, whatever you wanna call it). This had me guffawing, even on the second read through. :lol: XD
And I wonder if one of our little, fellow readers got this moment. xD *Bee whistling innocently~*
…a sweat-drenched Reina stomped up to the table…
I’d love to see this. :inlove:
Just because, I have never seen Reina sweat before. I don’t think anybody has. :? If Reina sweated (and it was all shiny and glistening, for our viewing pleasure), she might go up in my ranks. :grin:
“I think we should stop saying sleeping- having sex like it’s a subcategory. I can tell what you mean by the context of the sentence.” Risa deadpanned.
I love this, just because. :3
Gaki-san practicality rulezzzz. :wahaha:
Scene #3:
*Miki-sama and the laws that could threaten a bladder*
This scene was great – it is made of too much Fujimoto goodness. I love this woman – she is the birth of so much crack and hilarity. :wub: Every time she makes an appearance, I can’t help but start to grin, even before a word is uttered. :D Ahhhh. <333
“Number one: my word is law. If I tell you to do something, you do it. If you don’t get why, you ask *after* you’ve done it,” Miki enunciated clearly.
Can I print this rule off and hang it up in all my classrooms? Credits to Miki, of course. :hee:
”…If I’m sleeping, don’t wake me unless your patient is actually dying and the dying patient better not be dead when I get there. Not only will you have killed someone, you would have woken me for no good reason. We clear?”
Miki just radiates a wiseness beyond her years. I wish I could sound that cool. :mon crazyinlove: Lol.
Hilariously Miki. Though if I were one of the GoRokkies there, I’d probably be peeing myself. :mon curtain:
Scene #4:
*W and the foamy last mission*
Awwww. :k-inlove: This was a totally bittersweet kind of scene – specially with that last line. I know ropychan will probably do this scene a lot more justice fangirling-wise, since she’s the bigger W fan between us, but I do have to say this really was a precious moment. :tama-lotsaluv: Morning Musume was so much fun when the two were still around to stir up mayhem and still managing to stay totally cute at the same time. <3
Rika appeared before them fully-dressed and covered in white froth. “I swear, if I’m late for my shift…“ she threatened, eliciting a fresh bout of laughter from the two.
Mama Rika covered in foam. Bee likes. <3
Even if this is a sort of goodbye between the two troublemakers… ;____; I know for sure it isn’t the end of them in this fic. Right? Grac is going to bring on the drama. :yep:
Scene #5:
*Kaorin and the much anticipated pun that is surprisingly appreciated*
Kaori’s like some kind of wise elder who speaks in riddles, lol… if Kei-chan had to react with a full-on-the-lips kiss and all. xD
“So, are you making any headway on your Psych case?”
:lol:
She could still smell the maple syrup in her hair despite numerous shampooings.
Gawd, those two are unruly! xD
I’d never understand how they get the courage to do these kind of things to their senpais… :sweat:
Scene #6:
*Rika-Niigaki-Kei combi and the case that kind of escapes Bee*
It’s all nice and lovely to see these girls in action and all, but it’s a little hard to understand what’s going on with all the medical jargon xD I mean, if this were House or Grey’s Anatomy or something, I think I could just understand it better thanks to the visuals… but… you kind of lost me with what was going on with the patient. Growth? As in a tumour? :dunno:
Oh, and I understand Code Brown well enough. Is this for real???
"Oh my God, I have to get to a toilet quick, I have a Code Brown!!" --- I love Urban Dictionary. :on lol:
”…Psych cases are a lot more, creative, with their biowaste than most other patients.”
Thank you for the images?
*Bee barfs* :barf:
Awww. With the others under Miki’s lovely care, Gaki-san needed the case to involve a bit of fun too. :lol:
Scene #7:
*KameShige and the elevator ride of pure cuteness*
Thank you? xD :kneelbow:
*Bee huggles grac. A lot.*
There’s no guessing as to whether or not I liked this scene – I enjoyed it too much ;_____; I really liked the little details. :inlove: Sayu’s arms laden, her little pinky jabbing at buttons, Eri’s voice blurring in her ears, her steadying hands. GOSH. :luvluv1: The scene playing out in my head was all the more vivid and despite the lack of romantic KameShige, I was all giddy reading this. I just think there’s no going wrong with KameShige. Put the two of them in the same scene and I’m a fangirl mess. :tama-excite:
“You’re such a lifesaver. What would I do without you?” Sayu pretended to swoon, clutching at Eri’s arm and pressed a playful kiss onto her friend’s cheek.
What was the purpose of putting in ‘pretended’ and ‘playful’ here, grac? No seriously? =___=
But waaaaahhh, playful or no playful, kiss is good :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
“Well, technically, bad news for them means good news for us. We’ll get to recommend surgery and maybe get to participate. It’s good news all ‘round, actually.”
Evil!Sayu is evil! :twisted: This makes me kinda wonder how gently Sayu would break news of death to family members… xD
Eri considered her friend with a pained look, “You know, sometimes, it’s like I don’t know you anymore.”
First of all grac, this should’ve been two sentences (I’m sure you’d remember why xD you made this same mistake a lot…), and secondly, you’d think that Eri would be immune to Sayu’s depravity by now. :lol:
“Yosh! Minimally invasive endoscopic pituitary surgery, come on!”
Gotta love the way Sayu tackles life. :wub:
Scene #8:
*Doctor Reina and the true horrors of a hospital*
This was sad… I got teary reading this little bit. :cry: No crack in this scene, but it was a much appreciated change of pace from the breakneck speed of crack delivery everywhere else. :heart: :yep:
Poor, poor Reina. ;____; Well.. this makes me think – poor, poor doctors in general. :mon waterworks: How taxing that must be, to hold the lives of so many in your hands, and when it doesn’t go well… having to break the news to loved ones. That stuff… the thought alone… horrifies me :badluck:
“What did you think trauma code duty meant, genius? Go out and inform the families now- don’t you dare do all six at once.”
I guess Miki’s just showing Reina how harsh the reality of working in a hospital can be, and it’s her job to make sure Reina can tough it out mentally. But. I just couldn’t help but feel this was mean. :depressed:
And this also makes me wonder – should Reina be handling stuff like this so soon anyhow? Is that how it works for doctors in training? ‘Coz damn, respect. :bow:
Scene #9:
*Doctor Ai-chan and the diseased penii*
AiEri! My two favourites. :luvuluvu: Bonding in these dire times <3
“Look, you’re a doctor, these are diseased penii. Deal with it.”
:mon lmao:
Hey, Doctor Fujimoto, please cut Ai-chan some slack – she was going to do her job, but it never hurts anybody to grimace when grimacing is warranted. :twothumbs
She pulled a set of gloves out and peered out towards the waiting lounge, murmuring absently, “You know, I think I’ve seen some of these guys before at the sex shop.”
And this is where we say Eri sounds like a ‘jaded prostitute’. XD
You know, I am really curious --- grac HAS to write Eri on a porn run one day. At a point where she’s like besties with the cashier, now that would be funny. And maybe you can have her run into a future character there or something. xD (Yui :3 I’m always waiting for Yui. Lol)
“How do you do it, Eri?” Ai asked.
“Well, you just ask them to take their pants off and show you-“
:rofl: Major LOL moment. I love Eri. She’s so incredibly insightful. xD Makes you want to hug her~ :deco:
Scene #10:
*Aibon and the move to an apartment in a dodgy neighbourhood*
Now, you have to make sure that we get to see all the others outside their hospital lives as well. It’s kinda cute, somehow. :3
They ended up falling asleep amidst unpacked boxes, enjoying the gentle breeze of spring.
CHEEEEESE FTW. :tama-heart:
Scene #11:
*TanaShige and the acceptable moment of fluffy cuteness*
YES. :wub:
These girls, I love how you overwork them, grac. Because… cue scenes like this. xD
So, not KameShige. But I’m really in no position to complain here, ‘coz this is written so friggin’ sweetly. :heart: Friendship really is just as awesome as love (and often too underrated in comparison) and I felt a lot of that here, even if it didn’t manifest in the most obvious of ways. :nervous
Ai gave a very unladylike snort at that and made a remark about which side of Miki’s she’d gotten on to warrant her assignment for the day.
How exactly do you get on Miki’s bad side? By existing? :whistle:
Reina clambered up the ladder and into Sayu’s bed. “Scoot over,” she poked the sleeping girl.
If Reina gets any gentler and sweeter than this, she’s going to kill me. :lol:
She pressed her ear against Sayu’s back, concentrating on the comforting sound of another person’s heartbeat.
‘Sounds different, though,’ was Reina’s last thought before falling asleep.
AWWWWWWWWWW. I think someone has found GoMaki’s heartbeat a comfort to fall asleep to xD
Reiki :tama-lotsaluv:
Scene #12:
*Miki and the Coxsackie virus worthy of Picasso*
Okay, so you showed us this scene like HOW LONG AGO?! And it was so epically funny back then… amongst all the crack you had going for this chapter though, it didn’t stand out to that extent (I mean, c’mon, next to Rika’s non-existent penis?? xD). But still. This scene totally embodies grac!crack at its best. :mon inluv:
The MikiEri in this scene was gorgeous in a really subtly unusual way. Here, they kind of come together through mutual empathy. The bond people grow thanks to horrible drawing skills --- I know of this quite personally. XD
“Don’t worry, Kame. Our talents will never be appreciated until we’re dead, like Picasso.”
One of my favourite On Call quotes, ever. Now that’s saying a lot, considering how much I've quoted you. :mon inluv:
Kaori was the last to arrive, closing the door behind her, “Who’s dying? Fujimoto, nani sore? Shiitake?”
And the punchline here’s gotta be one of my favourites from On Call so far as well. :lol:
This scene plays out like so wonderfully in my head, it’s soooo good. :wriggly:
Scene #13:
*Rika and the non-inexistent penis*
Maki shrugged, “I dunno. I tried calling, but no answer. I guess she’s busy or something.”
Busy getting lipstick all over her collar ;_____;
Charmy + self-affirmed penis = win. I don’t know, it just is. Like, WHERE THE HELL ELSE WOULD I BE READING ABOUT SUCH COOL THINGS?! *_____*
“We need to hire more tech girls- there’s a backlog the size of my penis.”
Charmy-neesamaaaa…
Don’t you ever change! :luvluv2:
Okay, so there was a bit of IshiYoshi going on here, which I totally would’ve fangirled had you not introduced us to something else. Damn, for a thing that’s non-existent, sure is powerful. :nervous
“What? No.” Drunk Ishikawa is never to be let out in public.
Agreed. Keep her to yourself, Yossie. Fun times. :mon mischief:
Yaguchi had stuck an entire pizza face-first onto the glass, mouthing the words ‘have some’ while pointing at it.
I hope to one day attend a party this cool. :mon cute:
Also. GoochXPizza. :gmon twirl:
Scene #14:
*TakaGaki and the sweet recap of disgustingness*
There was something indescribably lovely about this scene between the two, just the both of them having a moment to go over their day, all the good and the bad (mainly bad) and having a laugh at it all over chocomilk and vodka (which have not and probably will not ever try. Seriously, grac?). This sorta thing gives On Call a really pleasing down-to-earth kind of feel. :tama-heart:
“I’m home.”
“Okaeri- you look beat.”
Married much? :wub:
“Can’t be as bad as my glamorous solo case- my patient enjoys the art of calligraphy, using his bodily waste.”
Grac’s analogies are impressive. :lol:
“You know, if I don’t ever handle another penis in my life, I’ll be happy. One of the patients actually asked for my number, mid-inspection.”
And wtf. xDD Don’t expect to get a number from a beautiful doctor when she’s dealing with your penis AND ITS WARTS AND ALL. :mon barf:
Also, hearing Ai say that, it would be funny if one day Ai had to deal with Rika’s non-existent one. :lol:
“I told him we needed to burn the warts off with acid or liquid nitrogen. He passed out.”
Yayyyy! :cow:
Scene #15:
*Ayaya and the foreboding blood-covered pillow*
;_________________________;
I know, this is just going to be the start of something sad, but very beautiful (of course, with its moments of crack). :cry:
You’ve already given ropychan and me a good glimpse into the future, and all I can say is… hells yesss, grac. Bring it all on!!! :cow: :cow: :cow:
Did you know: Residents can have crazy shifts up to 24 hours long. (but not as long as Rika's non-existant magnificent penis)
:rofl: Quite possibly my favourite ‘did you know’.
New words Bee learnt this chapter: dalliance (I’m not very familiar with archaic lang.), asystolic (medical jargon sounds so wise), Bukkake (xD)
***
CHAPTER 9 (Why doesn’t this have a title?)
Nice and sweet, this chapter – thoroughly enjoyable, and not as overwhelmingly epic as the previous chapter (which in a way is good xD). A collection of morning afters. I think grac has a crush on writing morning afters <3 hehe :heart:
Personally, I LOVE morning afters, they provide so much potential for laughs aplenty and this was fantastic! I have to admit… my favourite bit was the introduction of NakaKame (or YukoEri?), whatever you want to call it. :luvluv1: I felt really nostalgic reading them here. ;_____;
“Ah. Bukkake. Why the hell? I’m not due in til 10am.”
Why, grac, can you make words like Bukkake sound awesome? Hahahaaa… I’m learning too much naughty from you. (Teddies. :heart:)
Poor Yossie. :lol: She’s always finding herself pinned under people the morning after. Such a drunk!chick magnet. :yossi:
So okay, the next scene is the absolute bestest (I am painfully aware that that isn’t a word, but am compelled to use incorrect English only because being prim and proper cannot possibly help me in my whole-hearted appreciation of your fic) thing of the whole chapter… we have MikiEri first off, then we have half-naked & passive-aggressive Eri, then we have YukoEri, then we have Kaori without a pun. KILLER SCENE. :imdead:
“Pa- pantsu?” Eri stuttered, gripping the waistband of her last article of clothing tightly.
“Your scrub pants, Kame.”
“Can’t I just go downstairs get you a set of blue scrubs?” Eri implored pitifully, her pants already halfway off.
I totally adored the way you had Eri weakly griping, but at the same time already working her pants off. It just made this bit so much funnier.
Miki in pink scrubs! :lol: And your omake – the two drawings and the two equally awesome labels… :wub: so cute! Those had me laughing for a while XD
A photocopy of a hastily handwritten letter issued by Chief Nakazawa approving her admission to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department due to ‘her passionate interest for female reproductive organs’ was taped to her forehead.
The way this place works – on this nice, informal level – I love it. :mon lovelaff:
“I could totally make an effigy out of this,” Eri mumbled aloud, remembering the latex blow-up doll she had stashed in her room, courtesy of last week’s porn run.
PLEASEEEE! Bee wants to see many misadventures with blow-up doll! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:
“Nakazawa-sa… sama!” Eri jumped, clutching Miki’s top against her body.
Yuko liked her already.
Well, Eri did have her at the licking-salsa-dipped-phone thing, didn’t she? :on lol:
Shrugging out of her white lab coat, Yuko draped it over Eri and ruffled her hair. “Come on, cute stuff. If you’re gonna burn an effigy of your senior resident, I should get to watch and laugh, at least. God knows there have been enough burning effigies of me around here.”
CUTE STUFF!!!! *Bee dies*. Yuko’s already a total sucker for Eri. Such a boyfriend gesture, to take her coat off and put it around a half-naked Eri. :love: I’d love to see Miki bullying Eri and then Yuko coming to our turtle’s rescue xD And upon seeing how famously the two get along (with all the doting from the chief), Miki can then get jealous. Okay... I am SO Eri-centric, it's gotta stop :nervous
Iida was quiet the entire walk down the hallway, a disturbed look on her face. Punching the lift doors close, she murmured broodingly, “No, I can’t think of a pun for this one.”
Kaori ended up losing sleep over it that night, didn’t she? XD Here, we were all expecting another effortless pun from her. And you totally threw us off with this. :rofl:
As if that wasn’t enough, a HD recording of her behavior the previous night would always show up at breakfast the next morning like a post-mortem debriefing, courtesy of the Two Top.
Was Rika-sama doing a lot of crotch-grabbing and air humping (distastefully close to the other girls)? :hump:
“Rika-sama made an appearance. I was hanging halfway over Kago-chan’s balcony rail, loudly propositioning streetwalkers and complimenting their breasts.” Rika grimaced, recalling how Yossi was hanging onto her legs, emphatically telling her she was going to ‘fall to her fucking death and dash her goddamn brains all over the pavement/prostitutes’.
This was definitely the crackiest part of the chapter, and though ropychan preached for us to ‘take a moment to picture properly this image’ in our minds, I think this is DRAWING MATERIAL. *looks pointedly at ropychan* :3
I’m just… really amused that drunk!Rika is such a guy. :wub:
“I don’t know how that lipstick got on my collar, honest,” Aya joked weakly.
Weak, Ayaya, weak. ;___;
Of course Rika’s not going to buy it – but now that one other doctor knows, I’m very curious as to what’s going to happen from here. For Ayaya… this is one of the more concrete plotlines we’re getting, so I’m holding onto this every step of the way. I suggest that grac gives Ayaya more screen time. And please begin to develop the AyaSayu more from here on out, as well. Been a while since you last gave us a bit of those two! :inlove:
Eri was cheerfully recounting her traumatic anecdote to her doukies, finding it more humorous now with breakfast in her system. That, and having Sayu pat her head excessively to comfort her worked wonders.
Eriiiiiiii!!!! :luvluv2: ‘Cheerfully’ recounting her ‘traumatic’ anecdote. LOL. I think Yuko played a lot into that cheerfulness too. :grin:
And I'll take any mention of KameShige, thank you very much! :luvuluvu:
HangoveredAichan, and fussing Gaki-san - yes yes yes! :love:
“You were screaming ‘won’t you take me to funky town’ over and over again at the top of your voice.”
Ai-chan and Rika-sama drunken combination would be something to behold. :lol:
“Don’t think just because you’re doing one nice thing for Ai-chan that it absolves you of all the crap you put them through.” Niigaki glared at Fujimoto ineffectually, and Miki glared right back.
The tension! But I love that Gaki-san isn’t a pushover, even in the face of a senpai that scary. :cool1:
”… the last thing I need is for a hungover intern to puke into my patient’s abdominal cavity.”
Ouch. (And gross). But fair enough.
“Yocchan decided to let you scrub in with me and Kame today and we’ll be cutting open your very first colorectal. Isn’t that exciting?”
Ai turned pale at that and Risa rushed to place the paperbag to her face.
:rofl:
This comment shall now come to an end, fear no more.
:mon exhaust:
Please update soon. :k-inlove:
I love you grac. :heart:

I reall want to see what´s going to happen next. Specially since is Ai and Eri together :P (what can I say? I even get all excited and happy when they talk to each ohter xD yeah I´m like that :nervous)
Aawww GoroKies always there for each others :heart: they´re really cute just hope they don´t spend time with top two ´cause that can get dangerous and a potential threat for the whole hospital Top Two + GoroKies = Trouble ..... on a second thought, that would be awesome!! xD ... oh and Yaguchi can join as well, she´s the same xD
GAM sexual tension, just get on it girls, you both want it xD that way Miki won't used Eri for relief in that way xD
H!P girls as doctors, I wouldn´t mind going to that hospital, as long as I don´t care diying xD
Its been a while I hope you can update soon ^^

[7/29/11 2:25:19 AM] Bee: no pressure >__>
As my beloved stalker Bee has informed me, 'tis my 100th post on this thread. And so, we shall celebrate it in the most fitting way possible- MikiEri love/abuse!
Question: Why did Eri have that blow-up doll?
All throughout the meeting, Miki was struggling to pay attention. She nodded at appropriate times and pretended to take notes. The discussion on in-hospital mortality rates (or the kill count, as she privately called it) was boring her to tears and she actually drew a small coffin in lieu of notes.
Later, Eri complimented her on her masterpiece and stated that it perhaps the wheels needed to be rounder to make it look more like a car. The temptation to send her intern out for porn and sex toys as punishment for her impudence was slightly allayed by the fact that she had way too much porn for a well-adjusted person to have any business owning.
Thankfully, Fujimoto Miki was far from being well-adjusted. Now, the question was where to hide her new blow-up doll where Aya can’t find it.

Enjoy the crack! Might not have much of it in the upcoming chapter (which I promise will happen soon).

Chapter 10: Heart-to-Hearts
“So a bacteria walked into a bar and the bartender said: 'We don't serve bacteria in this place.' The bacteria said, 'But I work here- I'm staph.'” Eri laughed, looking around the operating table. “Get it? I’m ‘staph (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=staph)’,” she repeated with a giggle.
Perhaps it was because Eri couldn’t quite gauge if everyone were as amused as she was due to the surgical masks covering their pained expressions, but just as she was about to launch into her next atrocious gag, Ai stepped on her foot, making her recoil in pain.
The automatic door slid open with a soft swoosh and a freshly-scrubbed Miki stepped into the operating theatre. She gave the surgical team a friendly nod and some of them swore she was smirking under her mask. Somehow, they suspected Fujimoto had found another way to torment them all even in her absence via her sweet, but clueless intern.
“Let’s get started, shall we?” Miki said brightly, confirming everyone’s suspicion with her overly cheerful mood. “Kamei, make the incision.”
“Hai!” Eri’s eyes shone with delight at the opportunity. A nurse handed her the steel #10 blade and she held it with a steady hand. The weight of the scalpel in her grasp sharpened every sense in her body and she took a deep breath, her entire concentration on the tip of the blade pressed into the patient’s abdomen.
‘When did she get so good without me realising?’ Ai thought with no small wonder, regarding the usually carefree Eri now fully absorbed in her task with an intense look on her face.
“Fistula (http://ibdcrohns.about.com/cs/relatedconditions/a/fistula.htm).” Eri muttered by way of a warning and suddenly an almost overwhelming foul smell from the diseased portions of the patient’s bowels permeated the air, causing one or two nurses to gag. Now Ai was thankful to Miki for force-feeding her that disgusting hangover cure earlier. It made this experience slightly more bearable, but no less nauseating.
“Takahashi,” Miki addressed her quietly. “Have you encountered a patient with Crohn’s (http://tinyurl.com/3jckhks) before?”
Ai was as surprised with the sudden question as she was with the gentle and professional tone Miki was querying her with. “Yes, intestinal blockage due to severe inflammation- a portion of the small bowel was surgically removed.”
“What we have here now are multiple blockages or strictures, in both the small and large bowels, the diseased portions almost 4 feet in total. What would you recommend?”
“Strictureplasty (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=strictureplasty)- widening the blocked intestines instead of cutting it out. Reduces the risk of short bowel syndrome.”
“Good- I assume you’ve performed the procedure with Dr. Yoshizawa. We’ll do it in tandem at all the affected areas and close this guy up quickly- I don’t want to spend any more time than I have to breathing in this shit.”
Eri chortled, regretting it almost immediately when she forgot to continue breathing through her mouth.

The cafeteria was relatively quiet, but far from peaceful.
In a quiet corner, Yossi was sitting stoically at the table between Maki and Reina who were looking everywhere except at each other.
“Are you sleeping together?” Yossi asked suddenly, breaking the silence.
“No.”
“Yes.”
“But not in a sex way!” Reina clarified quickly.
“Not in a- sex way,” Maki repeated in a small voice and blushed slightly, turning away from her intern.
Reina had never wanted to squeal ‘kawaii!’ as much as she did right now, and resisted the urge to reach across the table to pat Maki’s tousled head. She made do with shovelling in her donburi (http://1tess.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/beef-donburi_9241.jpg) as fast as she could without choking.
Yossi met Maki’s gaze and shot her a ‘Really? Your intern? You’re disregarding work protocol for this?’ look. Maki responded with a blank ‘I don’t read minds’ shrug.
“So, that’s great.” Yossi stood up abruptly. “Now that’s settled, I’ll need to report in to work-“ She glanced at her watch with a grimace, “-an hour late.”
“Sorry we kept you, Yossi.” Maki looked genuinely contrite and Reina dipped her head in a quick apologetic bow. They turned back to their brunch in awkward silence as Yossi left the table.
Yossi spotted Rika and Aya tucked in the far corner of the hall. The neuro residents were in the middle of a hushed and angry exchange of words, their coffees cold and untouched in front of them. Rika staring down Aya with a determined expression which was returned with a stubborn glower.
Contemplating the palpable tension between the two with mild trepidation, Yossi had an internal debate on whether to interject. Rika had this look on her face that Yossi knew well- someone, namely Aya, was about to either get smacked or throttled.
‘And once more into the fray,’ she thought as she greeted them, flinching as two sets of angry eyes glared at her intrusion. “Whoa- what’s wrong now?”
Rika and Aya turned back to glare at each other, communicating wordlessly through a complex series of facial twitches, flaring nostrils and narrowing eyes- the very representation of immovable object, irresistable force
“Fine!” Aya gritted out suddenly, slapping the table’s surface in sheer irritation. “Later.”
Rika looked mildly triumphant, as she leaned back with her arms crossed. “Now.” The sooner Rika got Aya’s condition diagnosed, the better.
“No way.” Last thing Aya needed was to have her work performance questioned when news got out, and knowing Asa UH, the news would spread faster than crabs in a single bathroom brothel.
Yossi looked from one neurosurgeon to the other. “Are you sleeping together?” she asked wryly.
“What? No!”
“N- no! Yossi!”
Successfully replacing the previous tension with a new tension, it was Aya’s turn to study the other two as they stared at each other with bemused expressions- looking for all the world like deers caught in the proverbial headlight. Rika had overreacted and Yossi did not expect the response she got from her offhand joke.
With the attention off her due to the awkward deadlock between the two indefinitely erstwhile lovers, Aya took the opportunity to extricate herself, silently promising never to complain about her lack of a love life again.

Yasuda nodded slowly, paying close attention to Risa as she was giving her report on the psych case she was supposed to evaluate for neurosurgical candidacy. A few psych residents shifted restlessly behind her, throwing curious glances at the surgical intern amongst them.
“…there was loss of bowel control. Following which, Hiro-san graffitied his room. Again.” Risa grimaced, remembering the stench as she helped restrain and sedate the hysterical patient. Thank god she didn’t have to clean him up or sterilize the room- she gained a whole new respect for the nurses since that incident.
“What did he draw?” Kei asked off-handedly, making additional annotations in her notebook before looking up at Risa expectantly.
Risa’s eyes went wide at that, scrambling through her notes, trying to remember as much as she could from the frenetic episode. “Uh, heeh? He- uh, wrote something. Ehh~ nandake?”
A giggle from the residents behind her made her look up to see a teasing gleam in Dr. Yasuda’s eyes. “Don’t worry, Gaki-san. We’re not ALL crazy up here in the Psych ward.” Kei gave Risa a peculiar wink that suggested otherwise.
Kei directed her gaggle of residents to continue on their rounds without her and led the surgical intern into her office. It was tastefully decorated, to Risa’s surprise. The mahogany desk was clearly the centerpiece of the room with neat clutter and some personal effects scattered on the surface. Risa peered at a photo frame and looked away quickly when she saw a selca (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=selca) of Kei winking at her.
“So, what do you think?” Kei asked, settling behind her desk and gesturing for Risa to sit.
“It’s um… very cute.”
“Pardon?”
“Oh! The patient-“ Risa backpedalled quickly. “Yes. I meant it’s quite acute. His condition.”
Kei gave the intern an amused look. “Good catch, bad pun. And thanks for the compliment. But yes, the patient’s condition seems to be worsening. Will you recommend him for full labwork?”
“I’m- not sure- his condition seems entirely psychological. We haven’t come across anything to indicate that it is caused by neurological reasons. Maybe if I could speak to his family to see if there’s anything they noticed?”
“Unfortunately the state is his family- he’s in a home for problematic youth. And therein lies our problem- permission and insurance,” Kei sighed as she tapped on the patient’s folder with her pen.
Risa contemplated that for a while before answering as politely as she could, hoping she wouldn’t come off too haughtily. “Well, we’re doctors, not administrators. We have to put the patient first before paperwork.”
Kei looked startled, before breaking into a wry smile. “Thanks for the reminder. I never thought that I’d hear my own words told back to me 4 years later from my intern’s intern.” Her smile dropped slightly as she considered her words. “I feel old. Oh god, I’ve become an administrator.”
“That’s not the case at all, Yasuda-san. I’ve seen your notes on Hiro-san, and you’ve really exhausted yourself finding the right treatment for him,” Risa declared fervently. “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to get him fully diagnosed. Leave him to me!”
Risa bounded out of Yasuda’s office with all the hopeful energy and innocent motivation only a new doctor could muster, leaving Kei feeling even more ancient than ever.
She headdesked (http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/1/3/129070648483905597.jpg) as soon as Risa skipped out of the room and reached for her phone to dial a number from memory without looking. “Rika-chaan~” she wailed as soon as the line connected. “Your intern made me feel old.”
“What happened?” Rika sounded amused.
“She told me that I should be a doctor, not an administrator and that I have to put the patient before paperwork.” Kei mock-whined as Rika laughed delightedly. “You’ve got one heck of a great doctor going on there.”
“Ah, sasuga oresama (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oresama).”
Kei sat straight up in her chair, all playfulness gone out of her stance. “Ishikawa, are you drunk?” She glanced at her clock- it was barely past lunch. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m an asshole. That’s what’s wrong. Yossi found out I cheated on her.”
Kei paused, focusing on the background noises over on Rika’s end. “Are you at the Pulse?” she asked, upon hearing thumping music and high-pitched giggling.
“Yeap.”
“Hang on, I’ll come get you.”
“Don’t bother. Mikitty is on her way already. I’ll be fine, Kei-chan. Talk to you later, these nice oneechans are making me something to eat.”
Kei stared at the phone bemusedly, the last thing she heard before hanging up was Rika saying ‘come sit on my lap, I have a stick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_envy) to keep you in place’.

Miki glanced over at their usual corner in the strip club, catching a glimpse of Rika futilely trying to drink herself into a stupor. It was still too early for a show, so the club was empty save for Rika and some dancers who were pouring drinks for her.
“Irrashai, Miki-chan!” the buxomly mama-san greeted her warmly with a hug.
“Hi, mama. Long time no see.” The senior residents had made Pulse, the seedy strip joint a few blocks from the hospital, their favored watering hole since their student days.
“What’s wrong with Rika-chama?”
Miki shrugged as she made her way over to Rika. “I’unno. I guess I’ll find out.
She was immediately swamped by the cooing working girls who were sitting with Rika and she returned their affection with some well-placed groping, causing them to squeal and protest playfully. They fluttered off, leaving the two surgeons alone after extracting some promises to ‘play some more’ later.
Rika pushed the half-empty bottle of tequila over to Miki. “You better catch up quick.”
“Is this all you’ve had so far?” Miki asked. Rika nodded in affirmation. “You’re not even drunk yet, are you?”
“No. I have something to do during the graveyard shift later.”
Miki tossed back a shot with a grimace. “Ugh. Yeah- I’m on call for the emergency graveyard shift too.”
They drank in companionable silence, watching as the club workers prepared for the nights’ entertainment and debauchery.
“So… what’s up?”
“I think I need to tell Yossi about us.”
“Hah? Whut?”
“I think I kinda told Yossi I cheated on her today. Well, I didn’t really say it, but I think she knew. But she didn’t know with whom.” Rika dropped her head onto the table with a groan.
“What the hell are you talking about, Ishikawa?”
“We were having problems even before, you know, you and I… slept together. I guess that was the tipping point for me.”
Miki scrunched her forehead in confusion. “What’s the problem with that? And we haven’t really slept together much- I don’t remember waking up with you unless you mean in the on call room when we’re snoozing during breaks.”
“Sleeping together, as in we had sex, Mikitty.”
“What? We didn’t sex together.”
“Yes, we did. You told me so, and there… there was a video.”
“I told you so? I tell people all sorts of lies that aren’t true- there was a what?!” Miki exclaimed loudly, her face a mixture between shock and glee.
“Remember the video where I was giving you that lapdance?”
“With the feathered boa?”
“No, the other one with the handcuffs. During Kei-chan’s birthday party.”
“Ah, yes- handcuffs. That was hot.” Miki reminisced fondly with a faraway look.
“That video.”
“That’s it? That stupid video? That was so PG-rated, compared to the other stuff you usually do. The way you’re going on about it, I expected a sex tape or something.”
Rika smacked Miki over the head, “Stop looking so elated about the idea of a nonexistent sex tape!” She sighed, “We woke up naked and I don’t really remember what happened the night before except for us making out.”
Miki frowned. “You don’t remember? But you remember everything.”
“Precisely.”
“I’m pretty sure we didn’t have sex. I can’t believe you used this shoddy reason to break up with Yocchan. Shit, she’s going to kill me if she finds out.”
“We didn’t break up. We were already on a break then.”
“Actually, I meant to ask- what the hell is up with that shit? You guys behave the same as when you were together anyway. Minus the sex, that is.”
Rika sighed, slumping back in her seat. “That’s kind of the point. We were both so busy, we lost time for each other. Sometimes…”
“Sometimes?” Miki asked quietly.
“You know how Yossi is, with me. She’s so patient all the time and sometimes there’d be this- look. She just looks at me with this lost look in her eyes, but she was always patient, always waiting.”
“And how is now and everyday since you guys broke up any different?”
“Because I’ve betrayed her trust and today she knows I’ve betrayed her trust.” Rika wiped at the tears streaming down her face. “The look she gave me today- I never thought Yossi could look at me like that, ever.”
Miki hated when people cried. Grabbing Rika’s face, she started wiping away the tears with a bar napkin, forcing Rika to look at her.
“Look, you may have a memory gap, but I ALWAYS remember my sexual escapades.
One. Your only proof that we slept together was a fuzzy video of you giving me a lapdance and thrusting your hips distastefully close to my face.
Two. You have a godlike photographic memory despite your intoxication levels, yet you do not remember anything from that night.
Ergo – You got knocked out and we didn’t sleep together. Quod Erat Demonstrandum (http://tinyurl.com/6fxlf8m).”
Clearly agitated, Rika waved Miki’s syllogism aside with some irritation, “I don’t speak French. And I don’t need you to make me feel better about myself.”
“I’m not trying to make you feel better about it,” Miki replied testily. She had the unenviable job of being everyone’s immoral compass since she had the least soul amongst them. “Yasuda-san’s birthday party, right? I’m 100% sure we didn’t have sex.”
“But why don’t I remember anything beyond us making out?”
Miki scrunched up her face, trying to remember. “We were making out, but your asthma attack kinda killed the mood.”
“I had an asthma attack?” Rika looked at her puzzledly.
“Yeah. You passed out after. I remember dragging you into the recovery position before passing out myself.” Miki flicked Rika on the forehead. “Dude, oxygen deprivation. That’s why you don’t fucking remember anything.”
”I love how this discussion has taken such an academic turn. The science does seem to point to yes.” Kaorin’s voice from the next booth startled them. “However, shouldn’t the two of you be at work?”
“I can’t believe you just reprimanded them with a pun (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FKq1IyF39Ms/TXpf2MdkzHI/AAAAAAAAPZk/hW8-dr2KPAo/s1600/Signs-point-to-yes-.jpg).” Kei shot her colleague a pained look.
“Omoshiroi, Iida-san.” Miki slow-clapped.
Shibata was laughing delightedly at the pun, earning odd glances from the people around her. Kaori basked in the appreciation for a second or two before turning her usual expressionless features to her tardy residents. “What do the two of you think you’re doing here in the middle of a work day?”
“Lunch break.”
“Off-shift,” Miki chirped, clinking glasses with Rika and they both tossed back their drinks.
“I can’t believe you guys are stalking us for gossip.” Rika glared at Kei, and then shifted her exasperated look to Ayumi.
“We’re just concerned about you, Rika-chan,” her friend answered guilelessly.
“I’m fine.” Rika frowned, trying to process all the new information that was countering all the guilt she’d been carrying for so long. “I’m an idiot, but I’m fine.”
“Problem with the lot of you is that you don’t communicate with each other,” Kei chided. She got up, grabbed Rika’s arm and dragged her towards the door. “Come on, you need to talk to someone now.” Shibata trotted along, helping to propel a reluctant and protesting Rika forward.
“I’m drunk enough to beat the crap out of the two of you and leave you bleeding in an alleyway!” was the last thing the two surgeons heard as Kei and Ayumi wrested Rika toward the hospital.
Iida poured herself a shot of vodka, making a face as the alcohol burned down her throat. “So, I need to talk to you.”
“Sorry, my alleged heart has reached its heart-to-heart chat quota. Please try again later.”
“Let’s just pretend this is a work assessment session, but with alcohol.” Kaori refilled their glasses.
“My last assessment was with Nakazawa-san. How is this any different from sessions with her?”
“Your smart-assedness is what’s landing you in trouble with people in the hospital.”
“Really? Here I thought it was because I was on Inaba-sama’s shitlist.”
“Yes, which reminds me. She tells me that the next time you ask one of her scrub nurses to ‘free your wedgie’ during a surgery, you’ll be cleaning bedpans in the pediatric ward during rotavirus (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rotavirus) season.”
Miki snickered. “Okay. But where will I get my cheap thrills now?”
“Try the psyche ward. That’s where I go to get mine.”
They shared a knowing chuckle and toasted each other. Miki entertained herself by tearing up little strips of paper napkins and constructed a small bonfire, wishing she had a lighter to set it alight.
“When are you reporting in to OB/GYN (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=obgyn)?” Kaori asked abruptly.
“Like, never.”
“Boss-mode now.”
“Sorry. Not ever, Iida-san.”
The surgical chief sighed. “I’m sorry I left you alone to handle the quintuplet premie case the last time.”
“Why’d you do that? It was my first year,” Miki mumbled flatly, all the jest gone from her tone. “All of them died.”
“We were already prepared for that eventuality. They just came too early.”
“Yes, but why me?”
“Because I knew you could handle it. I thought you could handle it.” Kaori corrected herself. “Fujimoto, it happens. You know you have to care for your patients, but at the same time maintain enough distance so you don’t lose objectivity.”
Miki shook her head. “I should’ve-“
“Stop. No ‘should haves’ and ‘would haves’,” Kaori interrupted firmly.
“Maybe I’m just not cut out for it.”
“You started with obstetric surgery as your chosen field, knowing that it was one of the most challenging specialties in the program and at the first instance of mortality, you crumbled. We didn’t drop you out of the program as much as you decided to drop out of it yourself.”
There was a brief moment of silence as Miki considered that, unable to respond to the unexpectedly frank rebuke. Kaori continued, “You know why you inevitably end up getting the most difficult and unenviable tasks in this hospital? You lack tact and patience- but when it boils down to the line, you’ve proven to rise to the challenge and accomplish it brilliantly. That’s the Fujimoto Miki that needs to come back to OB/GYN now. ”
Kaori slid money onto the table to cover the bill and left Miki to ruminate over second chances.
-----
Yossi lay on the grass numbly staring up at the cloudless sky, trying not to think about the non-conversation she had with Rika earlier. They didn’t actually speak at all, just sat there exchanging a series of facial expressions and pained looks.
Miki once observed that the two of them didn’t actually need to speak to convey anything- a twitch of the eyebrow and it was all over, whatever that meant. That was what made them such a great team, the well-oiled Ishiyoshi combi- working the emergency rotation together and not losing a single patient like a boss.
That was also probably what started breaking them apart. They had stopped talking to each other- depending on whatever non-verbal communication from their bond to relay feelings and concerns that really should’ve been vocalized. Yossi wasn’t a talker to begin with anyway.
“No wonder she cheated,” she mumbled to herself, angrily swiping at the tears that seemed to have trickled down her face without her permission. “Goddammit.”
Her pager buzzed insistently and she glanced at the unfamiliar string of numbers, racking her brain to remember what the code stood for. She started making her way out of the small clearing of trees, hopping over some low shrubbery to take the shortcut there when she spotted her intern standing by the unfrequented service entrance with two rough-looking and burly men who seemed to be cornering her.
“Oi!” She called out, causing the two men to turn and glower menacingly at her. Ai looked startled and she started pushing them away towards the exit, in an urging, indistinct tone. “Everything okay, Aichan?”
Ai nodded, slightly disturbed. The two men had gotten into their black sedan parked just by the gate and drove away. “I’m alright, Yoshizawa-san.”
“Who were those men? Are you sure you’re okay?”
“I’m fine. Really,” her intern insisted, smiling up at Yossi to assure her. Yossi’s pager beeped and the unfamiliar code popped up again. “It’s Psych,” Ai informed her.
“How’d you know?”
“Gaki-san’s been working on a Psych case- that’s how I recognised that code.”
“You sure you’re okay? You know you can come talk to me if there’s anything wrong.”
Ai laughed as she pushed her senior through the doors into the hospital, “Yes, I’m really okay! Thanks, senpai. You really should get going now.”
Yossi ruffled Ai’s hair and started for the lifts up to the Psych wards, wondering what they needed her there for.

BRB I WILL EDIT AFTER I CALM DOWN AND REALIZE I AM NOT AS INTOXICATED AS I THOUGHT I WAS
“So a bacteria walked into a bar and the bartender said: 'We don't serve bacteria in this place.' The bacteria said, 'But I work here- I'm staph.'” Eri laughed, looking around the operating table. “Get it? I’m ‘staph (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=staph)’,” she repeated with a giggle.
:lol: I made lame jokes like this all the time during my undergrad years.
“Are you sleeping together?” Yossi asked suddenly, breaking the silence.
“No.”
“Yes.”
“But not in a sex way!” Reina clarified quickly.
“Not in a- sex way,” Maki repeated in a small voice and blushed slightly, turning away from her intern.
LOL what are they, 5? xD
Yossi looked from one neurosurgeon to the other. “Are you sleeping together?” she asked wryly.
“What? No!”
“N- no! Yossi!”
TROLLIN TROLLIN TROLLIN
A giggle from the residents behind her made her look up to see a teasing gleam in Dr. Yasuda’s eyes. “Don’t worry, Gaki-san. We’re not ALL crazy up here in the Psych ward.” Kei gave Risa a peculiar wink that suggested otherwise.
I can totally verify they're all crazy in the psych ward lol

That was so deep.

“You sure you’re okay? You know you can come talk to me if there’s anything wrong.”
Ai laughed as she pushed her senior through the doors into the hospital, “Yes, I’m really okay! Thanks, senpai. You really should get going now.”
LIES. IT HAS TO BE LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :smhid
IN OTHER NEWS, I AM SO HAPPY YOU'RE ALIVE/BACK/UPDATING <3333333 I've MISSED ON CALL LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS <3 and I seriously had a triple take and thought i drank one too many after work today ahhahahahha I'm so happy knowing you really did update, i kind of ran a victory lap around the neighborhood LOL <3 Update whenever you can!! :love: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
-
From the very first paragraph, it was like a dark brown voice saying, "The grac is back."
By the way, lame jokes crack me up so much. XD
Man, I'm so glad you updated.
And this chapter really was full of heart to hearts. Sorta, mostly, kinda. If you count Ai and Eri's chat, Yossie teasing Maki and Reina and Risa and Kei talking about poo calligraphy, heart to heart, then, yeah.
Aya's little problem has been weighing on me, though and now, so has this:
Ai nodded, slightly disturbed. The two men had gotten into their black sedan parked just by the gate and drove away. “I’m alright, Yoshizawa-san.”
You're alright, Ai-chan? That's good, cuz now I'M worried. :sweatdrop:
-
ah alot of quite frank talks in this chapter wasn't there, seems as though maybe things might be moving forward for people after some of these chats, perhpas though, perhaps the two people who most needed a heart to heart ind the end were the only ones who, well, didn't.......

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY TO ON CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:pen_whirl: :pen_whirl: :pen_whirl: :pen_whirl: :pen_whirl: :pen_whirl: :pen_whirl:
And happy birthday to me lol
I don't think you knew anything about it being my birthday last year, but you posted On Call on the 7th anyway (even if it's not really OUR 7th with the time difference xD), automatically making it a gift to me xDDDD I can't say I've ever been so fangirly excited about a 'birthday present' ahahaaa... it's been a year now, and this thread in the last several months has been rather slow-moving -___- Understandably grac has been busy with work and other unmentionables aha BUT I will ALWAYS be cheering you and all your wonderful little doctors on!!!! FOREVER, YA HEAR!!!! :onioncheer:
So I've been meaning to leave a comment for chapter 10 for a while now... but not too long ago I decided to save it for this special day. Wrote this whole comment up a few days ago, actually... :heart: I confess it's a little lonely without ropychan's awesomely epic comments around here - reading those always gave me so much fangirling fuel. It's been so long since either of us have heard from her, but I'm not giving up. I hope she comes back. ;______; if not, she better be reading and appreciating On Call in her own time (and doing cool, spyish things of course)!!!!!
I've also had this for a while now, whoops:
I'm sure someone with better brains can come up with an appropriate caption.
Grac darlin', you keep reeling me in with this story and I'm already so tangled up in it (so please update soon?)? XD
Chapter 10: Heart-to-Hearts
I loved this chapter (I wonder when you'll get sick of hearing that XD) for the usual grac!crack of course, but I found it (surprisingly) deep and character-focused and enjoyed every single moment of it! :k-inlove:
Oh and before I begin my quoting assault, just wanted to thank you for the hyperlinks. Gawd knows I need them ;_________;
“Get it? I’m ‘staph’,” she repeated with a giggle.
:lol: I get it, Eri! I get it! *giggles along* C'mon, Eri's bad gags alone might not make people laugh, but her wonderfully diabetes-inducing delivery of them = :inlove:
I also enjoyed the little detail of Ai-chan stepping on Eri's foot. xD Good to know her abuse doesn't just end with Gaki hahahaaa... (though I wouldn't mind seeing more of that in this fic ;D).
Team MikiEri must be some force, huh? xD When one isn't busy being a menace to everyone, we have the other tormenting them with atrocious gags. *sigh* gotta be my favourite On Call team :heart:
“Fistula.” Eri muttered by way of a warning and suddenly an almost overwhelming foul smell from the diseased portions of the patient’s bowels permeated the air, causing one or two nurses to gag.
I almost gagged along with everybody just reading that. And even after clicking on the link I still wasn't quite sure what a fistula was... and I so shouldn't have google-imaged it... :cry:
As always, as interesting as all the doctor talk is, it's just completely beyond me. :sweatdrop: You sure you're not a doctor, grac? :lol:
Should we also be suspicious as to why Miki's not her usual foul, overbearing self? Maybe I need to go back and reread...
“Are you sleeping together?” Yossi asked suddenly, breaking the silence.
“No.”
“Yes.”
“But not in a sex way!” Reina clarified quickly.
Here we go again... XD
“Not in a- sex way,” Maki repeated in a small voice and blushed slightly, turning away from her intern.
Totally with Reina here - I don't think I've ever squealed over Maki before, but I will gladly give in for this sweet little moment :wriggly:
Yossi met Maki’s gaze and shot her a ‘Really? Your intern? You’re disregarding work protocol for this?’ look. Maki responded with a blank ‘I don’t read minds’ shrug.
Hehe. I really like Maki's simpleness, it makes her really cute! :luvuluvu:
Rika had this look on her face that Yossi knew well- someone, namely Aya, was about to either get smacked or throttled.
XD ACK. I would LOVE to see an outright brawl happen some time in this hospital. Rika in the midst of one would be preferable too. Pretty please? :3
Rika and Aya turned back to glare at each other, communicating wordlessly through a complex series of facial twitches, flaring nostrils and narrowing eyes- the very representation of immovable object, irresistable force.
Superbly described. BODY LANGUAGE. :tama-heart:
"Fine" "Later" "Now" "No way" and with those few words, Yossie comes, yet again, to the following conclusion:
“Are you sleeping together?” she asked wryly.
:rofl: poor Yossie, though I find it amusing (and strange) that she's going around wondering if people are sleeping together. Why Yossie getting none? XD
Rika had overreacted and Yossi did not expect the response she got from her offhand joke.
Joke or not, I'm sure that touched some kind of nerve... both with Rika and herself >____< my IshiYoshi, when will I EVER see you healing and making up... *sniffles*
“Uh, heeh? He- uh, wrote something. Ehh~ nandake?”
I could so picture Gaki-san here... XD
Kei gave Risa a peculiar wink that suggested otherwise...
...and looked away quickly when she saw a selca of Kei winking at her.
A 'peculiar' wink, hey... ^^; When I first read both mentions of Kei-chan winking, all I got were images of Taka-san going all CG on the screen... had to laugh to myself :lol:
“That’s not the case at all, Yasuda-san. I’ve seen your notes on Hiro-san, and you’ve really exhausted yourself finding the right treatment for him,” Risa declared fervently. “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to get him fully diagnosed. Leave him to me!”
Awwww, reliable!Gaki-san ever adorable. :deco: she's gonna be one hell of a full-fledged doctor, for sure!
She headdesked as soon as Risa skipped out of the room and reached for her phone to dial a number from memory without looking. “Rika-chaan~” she wailed as soon as the line connected. “Your intern made me feel old.”
:lol: :lol: :lol:
“Ah, sasuga oresama.”
Uh-oh.
“I’m an asshole. That’s what’s wrong. Yossi found out I cheated on her.”
:banghead:
Kei stared at the phone bemusedly, the last thing she heard before hanging up was Rika saying ‘come sit on my lap, I have a stick to keep you in place’
I burst out loud laughing every time I finish this line. Gawd, intoxicated Charmy is so dirty. :twisted: Love it, ahahaaaa..
She was immediately swamped by the cooing working girls who were sitting with Rika and she returned their affection with some well-placed groping, causing them to squeal and protest playfully. They fluttered off, leaving the two surgeons alone after extracting some promises to ‘play some more’ later.
Gosh, and here I was almost beginning to think Miki's a lot of talk and little action. And you have something like this. What a playa :pimp:
“Is this all you’ve had so far?” Miki asked.
All you've had so far? I mean, half a bottle of tequila and Charmy not smashed yet? WTF!!! I can't even do a bottle of bloody alcopop without going red and finding it hard to breathe. Half a bottle of tequila sounds beastly! :shocked
“We were having problems even before, you know, you and I… slept together. I guess that was the tipping point for me.”
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
“Yes, we did. You told me so, and there… there was a video.”
In the On Call world, there are videos for everything. They've got a Big Brother thing going on over there, poor, paranoid souls... :lol:
“Remember the video where I was giving you that lapdance?”
“With the feathered boa?”
“No, the other one with the handcuffs. During Kei-chan’s birthday party.”
:lol: Just, you know, casual conversation you'll hear between Miki and Charmy on any average day at a strip joint...
Rika smacked Miki over the head, “Stop looking so elated about the idea of a nonexistent sex tape!”
C'mon Charmy, let Miki have her fun. I mean you're always enjoying a nonexistent something else ahahahaa :on lol:
“You know how Yossi is, with me. She’s so patient all the time and sometimes there’d be this- look. She just looks at me with this lost look in her eyes, but she was always patient, always waiting.”
“And how is now and everyday since you guys broke up any different?”
“Because I’ve betrayed her trust and today she knows I’ve betrayed her trust.” Rika wiped at the tears streaming down her face. “The look she gave me today- I never thought Yossi could look at me like that, ever.”
So rare to see this kind of angst in the On Call thread. :cry: Gaaaaaaaaaah. IshiYoshi angst is probably the hardest angst for me to swallow. Once you've had your fun playing around with them grac, you better have them get together! :tntrm:
The Charmikittyness of this scene was just delightful. I could really feel their friendship here, and Miki's rare shows of tenderness. :mon inluv:
She had the unenviable job of being everyone’s immoral compass since she had the least soul amongst them.
I think that's something Miki just thinks she has to play up. Deep down, she's all soft and gooey, isn't she? XD It makes me feel that in a way, the others tend to sell her short. I think Miki feels that way too. I get that feeling with it being 'unenviable' a job and all. Unless I'm trying to read into this too much - I just wanna give Miki a hug... hahaha :deco:
Kaorin's pun makes it much-anticipated appearance. :wub:
Shibata was laughing delightedly at the pun, earning odd glances from the people around her. Kaori basked in the appreciation for a second or two before turning her usual expressionless features to her tardy residents.
YAY! We finally have somebody give her the recognition she deserves :heart: hahahha, Shibata <3
“I’m drunk enough to beat the crap out of the two of you and leave you bleeding in an alleyway!” was the last thing the two surgeons heard as Kei and Ayumi wrested Rika toward the hospital.
Hahahahaaa... does Rika produce testosterone when drunk or what?.. ^^; anyway I can't wait for the IshiYoshi confrontation now!!!! Please don't leave us hanging too long! :kneelbow:
“Sorry, my alleged heart has reached its heart-to-heart chat quota. Please try again later.”
That really is a good line to pull when you've had enough serious talk... :lol:
“Yes, which reminds me. She tells me that the next time you ask one of her scrub nurses to ‘free your wedgie’ during a surgery, you’ll be cleaning bedpans in the pediatric ward during rotavirus season.”
Miki snickered. “Okay. But where will I get my cheap thrills now?”
“Try the psyche ward. That’s where I go to get mine.”
And who said the hospital wasn't any fun! :shakeit:
“Why’d you do that? It was my first year,” Miki mumbled flatly, all the jest gone from her tone. “All of them died.”
:mon waterworks:
“Because I knew you could handle it. I thought you could handle it.” Kaori corrected herself. “Fujimoto, it happens. You know you have to care for your patients, but at the same time maintain enough distance so you don’t lose objectivity.”
Miki shook her head. “I should’ve-“
“Stop. No ‘should haves’ and ‘would haves’,” Kaori interrupted firmly.
“Maybe I’m just not cut out for it.”
Miki's a hardened heart, that's what she is. :love:
I love seeing this side of her. Reminds me how human she is. XD
Kaori slid money onto the table to cover the bill and left Miki to ruminate over second chances.
Very touching scene. :ptam-wub: Something I'm sure a lot of us can relate to!
Miki once observed that the two of them didn’t actually need to speak to convey anything- a twitch of the eyebrow and it was all over, whatever that meant. That was what made them such a great team, the well-oiled Ishiyoshi combi- working the emergency rotation together and not losing a single patient like a boss.
They had stopped talking to each other- depending on whatever non-verbal communication from their bond to relay feelings and concerns that really should’ve been vocalized.
Get too complacent and that's what happens. :cry:
“No wonder she cheated,” she mumbled to herself, angrily swiping at the tears that seemed to have trickled down her face without her permission. “Goddammit.”
;______; I hate Yossie tears... kinda akin to seeing a grown man cry in a way. :bleed eyes: I hope the two make up and FAST!
Ai nodded, slightly disturbed. The two men had gotten into their black sedan parked just by the gate and drove away. “I’m alright, Yoshizawa-san.”
No, you're obviously not. =__________=
I kind of know what's going to happen anyway, but doesn't make me any less excited. BRING ON THE DRAMAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Yossi ruffled Ai’s hair and started for the lifts up to the Psych wards, wondering what they needed her there for.
YossiAi :wub: And I also wonder what they need her there for as well. Which means, I want an update. Which means, I will be bugging grac about updating soon again. Which means grac needs to be prepared.
:D
Anyway, THANK YOU, this was a fantastic update and I'm craving for more now having just gone through that chapter again >___< You've got a lot going for the characters now, time to accelerate! :heart:
Please take care and
UPDATE SOON GRAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

Thanks to all my 4 readers for holding out hope. Here is some crack as a reward.

“Kato-san, we’re going to run a routine peripheral nerve examination on you, so just relax, okay?” Aya gestured to Sayu to start from the patient’s feet.
“It won’t hurt, but just let us know if you feel discomfort,” Sayu said with a smile.
The patient had come in complaining of gradually losing feeling from his feet for a month now. Sayu started testing his reflexes with the hammer- working her way up from his ankles up to his knees and hips.
“Test the perineal reflex, please.” Aya looked up from the patient’s notes to Sayu.
The intern glanced at her resident, not certain if Aya was just being evil or extremely thorough. Sayu decided that she was both and retained a look of clinical detatchment as she guided the patient to flip over to his side, loosened his hospital gown and gently scratched the skin around the sphincter with a 21-gauge needle. Aya was secretly impressed by Sayu’s professionalism, certain that the girl would’ve complained or hesitated.
“You’re doing fine, Kato-san,” Sayu murmured as the muscle contracted and responded accordingly. “You can turn back over now.”
Evidently Kato-san was doing very fine because when he turned back onto his back, Sayu was greeted with a rather healthy response. To her credit, Sayu merely shifted her gaze casually to the patient’s records and began writing in it.
The neurologist cleared her throat, “Thank you, Kato-san, you can put your clothes back on now.” Peering over Sayu’s shoulder to view the notes, she choked back a bark of laughter as she saw the word ‘OMGPENIS’ scribbled across the page.
“When you’re dressed, let’s get your admission pe- papers in order. Dr. Shige will be personally attending to your co- case.”
Aya decided she probably fully deserved the dirty look Sayu was giving her. Why should Mikitty have all the fun around here?
-----
-
...Who are you again? Jeez, it's been so long, I can hardly remember :lol: :lol: j/k
Troll Aya is Troll.
Sayu's scribble, lols
-
I am in a good mood today. :grin: And I really should be doing more omakes in lieu of updates- crack is easy, story progression sucks. Thank you for reading and holding out hope.

Omake
“Oh my god, Ai-chan. What are you doing?” Sayu gasped as she surveyed the scene before her.
“Cooking,” answered Ai matter-of-factly, expertly kneading a lump of cookie dough.
Her fellow interns were frozen at the doorway to their common room, unsure of what to do. “Ai-chan, that’s… you’re not really cooking, you know,” Risa said gently, negotiating her way carefully into the room.
“I’m a good cook!” Ai declared loudly, narrowing her eyes at anyone who might dare to say otherwise.
Risa made soothing noises as she grasped Ai’s hands gently to free the raw cookie dough from her hands. “Of course you are, Ai-chan. You make us breakfast every morning, right?”
“Damn right, I do!” she yelled, clumsily smacking an oily hand against Risa face.
Someone had supplied Ai with a truly staggering amount of cookie dough and the drunk girl had recreated a detailed diorama of Tokyo all across the floor of the room. Reina started chugging on a beer while taking pictures of the masterpiece with her phone.
“What the heck are we going to do with all this?” Risa asked despairingly.
Eri passed her a bottle of vodka. “Get drunk and eat Tokyo, what else?”
“I’mma be Gomora!”
“Ha! Gomora sucks. Dibs on Earthtron!”
“I hate my alcohol tolerence level,” Risa muttered to herself while pouring herself a large drink.
-----
Who do you wanna see drunk next?
-
^CRYING OVER THIS UPDATE!!!! AHHHHHHH~
EDIT: now that i actually read it lol omg drunk H!P girls will always be wonderful <3 I LOVE THE TREND OF DRUNKENNESS~ surprise me~
-
More omake! I wanna see poor level headed Risa finally drunk out of her gourd. If Ai makes a cookie dough Tokyo, what the hell will Risa do? :lol: :lol:
-
Mm? Maybe the update wave is contagious.

Chapter 11- Tales from the Emergency Graveyard Shift: Night of the Living Dead
“Mano Erina, female aged 20, asystolic. Unresponsive to shock resuscitation and atropine,” the paramedic recited as they wheeled the gurney in through the trauma doors, never stopping his rhythmic compressions on the patient. “Collapsed suddenly, no apparent cause for heart failure.”
Reina glanced quickly at the board and sighed internally- another DOA. It never got any easier even after so many. It was a running joke that she had probably handled more dead bodies than any single mortuary service staff in the hospital, not counting one Fujimoto Miki, of course.
“Hook her up and get the crash cart,” Reina directed the nurse who looked at her perplexedly. The patient was clearly lifeless, but hell if Reina was going to give this up without a fight. Also, she was bored.
“Need help?” Ai asked as she entered the room, moving quickly next to Reina who was already intubating the patient. The breathing tube was inserted smoothly into her air passage and oxygen was pumped into her unresponsive lungs for her.
Looking up at the monitor at the flat line, Reina started cutting away at the patient’s clothes for better access.
“Come on, Mano-san,” Reina gritted out as she put as much effort as she could into performing chest pumps on the unresponsive patient.
“We should call it, doctor,” the nurse suggested. “It’s been more than 15 minutes.”
“Get the hell out of my trauma room if you aren’t going to help.”
Without skipping a beat, Ai negotiated around the nurse to grab the defibrillator. Reina spread the conductive gel liberally onto the surface of the paddles and stood clear as Ai applied it onto the patient’s chest.
“Resuming compressions,” Reina panted. “Who the hell needs to run for exercise when you do this everyday?”
“One last time- charge to 360. Clear.”
“ETCO2 is down,” Ai announced.
The monitor showed no indication of life and Reina threw in the towel. The nurse looked on with a small smirk at the defeated look on the intern’s face. Reina shut out the obnoxious nurse by staring intently at the patient’s face. “Aichan, please call it.”
“Time of death, 1:40 am.”
The two interns shooed the nurses out to clean up the room themselves. The graveyard shift tended to be staffed with the more unpleasant nurses and it really took a more unpleasant doctor to toe the line. Which was the reason they gave Miki when she got the short straw during the latest scheduling. It would’ve been all well and good if Yuko didn’t decide to throw the new surgical interns in along with her ‘for experience’.
Reina and Ai worked quietly, straightening out the room back into some semblance of order. Risa ambled in, assessed the situation and joined them silently, bumping shoulders with Ai in an attempt to cheer her up. It was never easy to lose a patient.
Ai turned off the air supply, smoothing the patient’s hair into order before moving to remove the tubes. Just then, the patient lurched, her eyes snapping open and she began gagging and fighting against the tube in her throat.
“Sweet-“
“Mother of-“
“Fuck!”
The harmony of profanities drew the attention of the other two of their group who were idling outside- Eri and Sayu peered in curiously to find out what the fuss was all about. Reina recovered from the shock first, and rushed to the patient’s side, flipping the machines on frantically.
“Mano-san, Mano-san!” Reina spoke firmly, as she attempted to restrain the flailing patient. “It’s alright, you’re in the hospital. Can you hear me?”
Ai flashed her penlight into Mano’s eyes to check her pupils, but wide, unresponsive eyes stared back at her, causing her to shudder a little.
Just as abruptly as she jolted back to life, the patient stilled- her vitals a little weak but fairly steady.
The five of them froze, studying the monitor intently before shifting their gaze to the patient.
“Whaddya think? Drugs?” Eri speculated.
“We’ll need labs before we can be sure,” Ai replied.
“Blood sample’s been sent down. And this isn’t really an emergency, so we can’t put it on priority.” Reina grumbled glumly.
It had been a busy night and they had been sending things down to the laboratory ceaselessly. The single, overworked lab tech on night duty had told them emphatically that she didn’t want to see them for anything short of an Ebola outbreak or a real emergency.
“Doesn’t this count as an emergency? The patient frickking came back to life after a good hour.”
They studied their resurrected patient with some trepidation, she seemed to be sleeping peacefully and breathing on her own.
“I’ll go and see if I can get something out of Diagnostics. There’s nothing a little cleavage flashing won’t get you.”
Eri looked pointedly at their friends and suppressed a grin. “I’ll come with you, Sayu.”
------
Director of Laboratory Services and Diagnostic Imaging Ayaka Kimura was a strict mistress of all she surveyed, namely, the basement where her department was located. She prided herself in the fact that there is nothing in the hospital that she doesn’t know about, since almost every in-patient case required labs or medical imaging.
Senior or no, doctors and nurses alike had to yield to her authority if they even wanted to be on the waitlist for tech services. Bribery worked to grease the wheels of bureaucracy, and gossip was the always the preferred commodity around Asa UH.
This was why right now at 2 am, Rika and Aya were sneaking around like burglars in the imaging department, hoping to break into an empty MRI room to use the facilities without needing to wait in line, nor having the risk of their business aired about in the cafeteria by the next meal cycle.
“Rika-chan.”
“Mm?’
“I think the ski masks are a bit much,” Aya said, her voice muffled by the thick woolen mask. She pulled it off, relieved that the scratchy material was no longer chafing against her face.
“Really? I thought you’d be more bothered by the codenames.”
“No, that was kinda cool.”
The emergency exit door across their hallway opened suddenly with a loud clatter, startling them. They immediately ducked into the nearest storage room, listening intently to try and make out who it was.
“I know that voice,” Aya murmured as she recognised Sayu’s unmistakable tone.
“Ah, it’s their graveyard shift with Miki-chan tonight,” recalled Rika.
“They must need labs or something.”
Sighing, Rika squeezed past Aya in the narrow space and gingerly felt her way around the dark room before sitting herself down on the floor. “We won’t be able to leave until they do.”
“Remind me why we’re doing this again?”
“You can’t see me right now, but I’m glaring at you… ouch!”
“Sorry, couldn’t see you,” Aya said, not sounding remorseful in the slightest. She leaned against the door and slid down to join Rika on the floor.
“How do you feel? Head still hurts?”
“A little.”
“You’ve been taking pain meds for it, haven’t you?”
There was a long pause, the darkness and quiet somehow made the silence last even longer. “Damn it. I’ve turned into one of those kinda doctors.”
Rika reached out blindly to comfort Aya and ended up patting an ankle. “We’ll find out what’s wrong and fix it.”
“Speaking of, what was wrong with you and Yossi earlier?”
Another long bout of silence before Rika replied, “I think I’m one of those kinda girlfriends.”
“The stupid, don’t-know-what-a-good-thing-she’s-got-going-until-she-loses-it kind?”
“You know, I had a lot of alcohol earlier and there’s only so much sass I can take until I hit someone.”
Aya snorted with quiet laughter, “Ishikawa, have I ever told you how much more I prefer you drunk than sober?”
“Only every time I’ve gotten drunk. I’m starting to think you don’t really like me.”
Aya negotiated easily around Rika’s conversational feint. “So what happened?”
“Kei-chan locked the both of us into her office. We kinda sorted it out.”
“Hm.”
“It was awkward, but there was whisky.”
“I think I hear them leaving,” Aya noted, catching the sound of receding footfall and the chiming of the elevator. A few seconds later, the heavy metal doors of the elevator slid close with an audible clank.
“Check to see if the coast is clear.”
“Okay.” The sound of metal clattering was ominously accompanied by vulgar language Rika never thought Aya knew.
“I knew it,” Rika deadpanned. “This is Cliché University Hospital after all- why not, right? I swear someone tampers with all the store room doors to make sure this happens.”
“Don’t forget the stuck elevator. We had the stuck elevator last month,” Aya quipped while trying to insert the broken door handle back into the metal plate to no avail.
Rika flopped back onto the floor, cursing under her breath.
-----
After dropping off their lab request, Eri and Sayu returned to a hectic trauma room. Ai, Risa and Reina were struggling to revive Erina who had coded again.
“Clear,” Ai muttered before applying the defib paddles onto the patient.
The line spiked as a bolt of electricity coursed through the patient’s body. Five seconds passed but the monitor stayed flat and everyone released the collective breath they’d been holding. Thankfully, the patient did not follow suit.
“Second time of death, 2:25 am,” Risa pronounced.
Reina glared at the patient intently, as if daring her to come back to life. “All in favor of fucking this shit say ‘aye’.”
With a murmur of assent, they all started packing quickly to leave the trauma room and Ai pulled the sheet over the patient’s face when the body suddenly jerked back to life and almost sat up, if not for a surprised Ai decking her reflexively.
“Th’ fuck!” Ai punched the patient in the face and backed away quickly to the corner of the room. “I’m tellin’ ya, we gotta cut th’ head off! Fuckin’ zombies coming t’eat our brains.” All of them turned as one to gape at Ai’s outburst. The Fukuian was crouched in the corner of the room, glowering wildly at the gurney whilst mumbling about fire axes, evil umbrellas and conspiracies.
“You really need to stop playing video games, Aichan.” Risa suggested gently.
After checking that the patient was stable, if not a little worse for the wear with a small bruise forming over her eye, they joined Ai who was still crouched by the wall. The interns squatted in a row along the wall like so many yankiis, quietly observing the patient.
“You know…” Sayu started, her tone thoughtful. When she spoke like that, it was often a precursor to something insane or brilliant, usually the former. “Ai-chan’s got a point.”
“Sayu!” Eri looked horrified. “How can we cut her head off?”
“No, I’m not that crazy! I meant the next time she dies, we should perform an autopsy immediately.”
“That’s the same thing!”
Reina sighed. “Let’s just report this to the boss, okay? She’ll tell us what to do.”
Everyone turned as one to look at Eri who just looked slightly ill. Too much trauma in one night really chipped away at one’s constitution.
-----
Eri closed the on call room door behind her with utmost caution, flinching as the tiniest click sounded. Her colleagues crowded her almost immediately, like a pile of anxious puppies.
“What did Dr. Fujimoto say?”
“She said it’s probably Lazurus Syndrome and told us to fix it ourselves. Only… not so politely,” she replied.
“Yes, but how do we fix it? Didn’t you ask her?” Sayu asked.
Eri hesitated for a split second before taking a deep breath to steel herself for reentry. Almost three minutes passed before she slipped out again, an inscrutable look on her face.
“So what did she say?” Ai asked promptly.
“With or without the cussing?”
Risa rolled her eyes. “Without, please.”
“Then she didn’t say anything.”
Their pagers beeped in tandem and they shared a quick look of mutual trepidation amongst each other. Running for the emergency ward, they saw Reina standing outside the trauma room waiting for them, appearing both alarmed and annoyed at the same time.
“It’s dead- again,” Reina reported flatly. Too much trauma in one night really chipped away at one’s bedside manner.
They entered the room uneasily; the monitor was displaying a flat line. A very stark bruise had formed around Mano’s left eye, which prompted Risa to root around the drawers for some ointment. God only knows how they would explain that one away.
Reina sighed frustratedly. “I seriously have had enough of this. The family is outside- what should I tell ‘em?”
“Let’s just tell them she’s in a critical condition and might not make the night,” Sayu suggested practically.
“They’ll want to see her, though,” Eri chipped in.
“Oh, shit. We need to conceal this bruise,” Risa said in a panic as she gently applied the ointment over Mano’s eye.
“Gakisan, what are you doing?”
“Treating this bruise you caused! You know she’s just gonna wake up again later.”
“She’s been dead at least 5 minutes now. So, autopsy?”
“Sayu!”
“I’m for it, if you get permission from the family.”
“Aichan!”
“Shared credits in the white paper?”
“Reina!”
Eri giggled, “You guys are so funny.”
Risa took a deep breath to calm herself. “Eri, please don’t encourage them.”
Sayu’s pager buzzed just then, prompting her to pick up an urgent call at the front desk. “Who’s calling at this hour?” Sayu asked puzzledly. “Good luck, you guys. If there’s an autopsy, let me know!”
“I’ll get some make-up to cover this up,” Risa stroked the bruise gently.
“I’m gonna risk it and ask Fujimoto-san for help again,” Eri offered.
“I’ll talk to the family and stall for time.”
“The hell you’re leaving me here alone with the damn zombie!”
-----
After a near-fistfight in the dark, Aya and Rika agreed to call Sayu to free them from the storeroom. Rika had refused to ask Yossi, whom Aya suggested, and Aya was adamant that Miki was under no circumstances allowed to know about her condition.
Aya broke the standstill and conceded to recruiting her intern for the job. Having met the girl, Rika really started to worry about Aya’s sense of judgment and mental faculties but decided that Sayu could at least accomplish the simple task of freeing them from the room.
Thankfully, they had their mobile phones with them and a quick call to explain their situation to Sayu had her rushing to their aid.
A thud sounded and the door swung open easily to reveal a confused, if not a little concerned, Michishige Sayumi.
“That was quick. Thanks, Sayu.”
Jiggling the door handle from the outside, Aya found it jammed as well. She glanced at Sayu who had a hammer and flat chisel in her hand. “How did you-?”
“It’s happened before,” Sayu replied plainly without elaborating further.
“Well, uh- good job. Thanks.”
“You’re welcome, Matsuura-san. Is there anything else I can do for you?” Sayu asked brightly as though there were nothing out of the ordinary.
Rika now comprehended why Aya decided on asking her intern for aid- the girl was peculiar enough not to find their current situation unusual. “Well, the door to the MRI room might be locked…” she trailed off, eyeballing Aya for her acquiescence.
“Why do you need to go to the MRI room?”
Aya deliberated the advisability of enlisting Sayu for the task, but decided that they probably needed someone experienced with breaking in through doors with them. “You tell anyone about anything you see here tonight, I will lobotomise you personally. Understand?”
Startled, Sayu nodded wordlessly as her seniors each hooked an arm around hers and hauled her towards the MRI room.
-----
“We’re still trying to stabilise Erina-chan at the moment- her situation is quite severe,” Reina calmly explained to the distraught Mano family. “If there is anything you can tell me about her health beyond what you’ve filled into her admissions form, it would be really helpful.”
“She’s always been so healthy, hardly ever gets sick…”
“Motherfucker!” Ai’s voice rang out loudly from the trauma room, alarming everyone standing in the vicinity.
“Oh god, is she okay? My baby!”
Reina sighed and led them away from the area gently. “That’s actually a very good sign. Dr. Takahashi is extremely passionate about her patients’ well-being.”
With a promise to return quickly with an update, Reina extracted herself from the family to lend Ai a hand. Sure enough, Erina had come back to life and mercifully, Ai did not assault her again.
“She’s stable, blood gasses normal,” was all Ai managed out, tightening her hold on a scalpel, all the while glaring at the patient from her position at the far end of the room.
“Ai-chan, there is no such thing as zombies. We’re gonna be in so much shit if you cut her head off with that.”
Risa entered the room just then with her make-up pouch. “Oh good, she’s alive. Tanakacchi, I had to raid your fancy stash ‘cause I’m out of concealer.” She waved Reina’s limited edition Anna Sui concealer about.
“It shocks me how little I actually care about that right now,” Reina replied, squeezing the bridge of her nose to alleviate the headache she could feel pounding behind her eyes. “I’m giving you five minutes, then I’m bringing her family in.”
“Roger that. Give me a hand, Ai-chan.”
“No way. I’ll protect you from here.”
-----
Miki lay in the dark, contemplating whether or not to get up and check on the interns. They haven’t come in with anything besides that Lazarus earlier, so she figured everything was okay.
Someone knocked quietly on the door before opening it slowly. “Fujimoto-san?”
“What?” she growled in response.
“I’m really sorry to disturb you again, but the patient has been coding and coming back to life without resuscitation several times already.”
“Come in here and close the door.”
A pause. “Are you going to hurt me?”
“I will if you don’t do as I say.”
Eri stepped into the on call room nervously and kneeled by the door for an easy getaway.
Miki sighed and sat up on the bed, running her fingers through her messy hair to get it back in order. “So the patient’s stable now?”
“Um. Right now? I don’t know.”
“You don’t know,” Miki repeated in a monotone.
Eri prostrated herself immediately. “I’m sorry! Pleasehelpus. The sexshops are all closednowand I can’tbuy you anyporn! Maybeprostitutes!”
Repressing a chuckle, Miki stretched lazily. “Is she hot?”
“Hunh?”
“Is the patient hot? As in sexy.”
“Uh, she’s kinda cute, I guess- if you’re into that sort of thing.”
“Cuter than Aya-chan?”
“No one is cuter than Matsuura-san,” Eri blasphemed smoothly, all the while crossing her fingers behind her back.
“Yosh, this better be worth it, Kame.”
-----
Sayu sneezed as she expertly pushed the bent hairpin through the last tumbler and popped the lock open. Rika and Aya were standing behind the girl in pure awe.
Two doors and an electronic lock later, they finally managed to get themselves into the imaging room. Rika sent Sayu out into the corridor to keep a lookout while she assisted Aya into the machine.
“I’m bringing your intern along next time we have a party. She must be really handy to get you into places when you need to get something.”
“That’s called breaking and entering and larceny, Rika-chan. And you’re not allowed out when you get drunk.”
“I’m just saying,” Rika grinned, as she helped Aya lie down on the padded surface. “Comfy? You want ear plugs?”
Aya shook her head, “Naw, I’m fine.”
“Okay, I will soothe you with the sultry sound of my voice to offset the clanking of the machine.”
“On second thought, gimme the ear plugs.” Aya secretly smiled at Rika’s attempt to be cheery.
Rika gave Aya’s forehead a reassuring pat before snapping the cage-like coil around her head carefully. With a deep, calming breath, Aya gave a thumbs-up to Rika who gently slid the narrow table into the machine.
“Let’s go,” Rika said, moving into the next room where the monitors were.
Sayu was standing uncertainly by the entrance and Rika gestured her into the room to sit beside her. “We’re here. Ready to get your photo taken?”
“Okay,” came the faint reply through the intercom system.
Rika used to think the clanking of the MRI was rhythmic and somewhat soothing. Right now, it was just unnerving her and she could not even begin to imagine what Aya must be going through. Sayu sat very still beside her, studying the screen intently.
A particular rendered slice caught Rika’s eye. “Do you see it?” she murmured to Sayu, as she reached out with a finger to trace the problematic area on the screen. She moved the tracker to zoom in on it, taking a sharp breath as she noted the severity of the malformation.
“Tonsilar herniation- about 5mm or greater,” Sayu noted in a subdued tone.
They fell into an uneasy silence as the computer compiled the images slowly, neither wanting to utter the suspected diagnosis out loud. Rika slumped over in her chair, expelling a shaky breath as she rested her head on tightly clasped hands. Sayu observed solemnly as the imaging equipment recorded layer after layer of her resident’s brain.
-----
As fortune would have it, Erina stayed mercifully stable for the entire duration of her parents’ visit. Risa was promising all sorts of firstborn children to every deity she knew under her breath as Reina smoothly updated the family with more information regarding Erina’s condition.
Just as Reina was ushering them out to the waiting area with more assurances, she saw Eri and Miki enter the room behind her. Making her exit quickly, she steeled herself for some serious bombardment from the senior resident.
To her surprise though, Miki seemed to be in a reasonable mood, which was likely due to the uncomfortable look Eri was wearing. “Were you guys doing anything in particular when she came back to life?” Miki asked.
“There wasn’t any common trigger. She just seemed to come back on her own.”
Ai mumbled softly, “Like a zombie.” Reina elbowed her sharply.
“Warm up her fluids, and get a blanket on her,” Miki prompted Eri, who leapt to the task. “We’ll hook her up on full life support.”
Having Miki giving directions had a heartening effect on the team as they bustled to comply with her orders. Even Ai had calmed down enough to function at some level of efficiency.
“She’s stable,” Ai reported. “I think we can keep her like this indefinitely.”
“Yeah. Let’s try to keep this one alive long enough for us send her to Neurology in the morning.”
“See? There’s no such thing as zombies, Ai-chan.” Risa reiterated, patting Ai on the back reassuringly.
“’Course there is,” Miki interjected matter-of-factly. “Medically dead humans with brain parasites that keep it moving and lumbering around. There’s a research paper on it and everything. Don’t you kids learn anything in medical school nowadays?”
The level of alarm that crossed Ai’s face was unparalleled to anything Eri ever came up with and that prompted Miki to send Eri out for prostitutes just to make sure her intern still gave the best panicked looks.
-----
By dawn, the interns were gathered in the cafeteria and given a wide berth by the rest of the breakfast crowd, possibly due to the profuse amount of alcohol on their table. Sayu had joined them an hour later with no explanation of where she had been and commenced with catching up, pouring herself drink after drink quietly.
Risa was a lot more vocal, loudly recapping their night’s ordeal. “I mean, why is she such a- a bitch? She’s such a troll all the time and unreasonable with her stupid requests!”
“You have to distance yourself to get through the day,” Eri asserted sagely. “Not even the great Fujimoto Miki can be in control all the time. A lot of the nonsense she pulls are just for decompression’s sake- it’s actually fun, you know? The sex shop, I mean,” she rambled absently in defense of her senior.
“You know, your last sentence just completely negated the deep sentiments you started out with.”
“Did I just say the brothel was fun?” Eri looked mildly horrified, as if she had just snapped out of a daze. “Oh god, I’m a pervert.” She headdesked and whimpered pitifully, hugging her head with her arms.
Eri successfully secured the best onee-san Pulse had to offer and smuggled the giggling girl into the hospital only to be sent back out for crispy bacon and hash browns. With the lull in the shift, the rest of the interns were also sent out scrambling to meet Miki’s demands, save for a terrified Ai, who was forced to keep an eye on the comatose Erina until morning.
“You said sex shop, not brothel,” Reina supplied helpfully.
“Don’t get depressed by the things you say yourself, aho.” Risa smacked Eri unsympathetically.
“Don’t hit Eri-chan!” Ai shoved Risa off her chair and gathered the still moaning Eri into her arms and patting her head clumsily in an attempt to console her. “It’s okay to be a pervert, Eri. We’ll still love you.”
“But not in a sex way.”
“Oh my god, Reina, please don’t start again.” Risa groaned from the floor where she had ended up flat on her back.
Reina and Sayu cackled loudly, clinking glasses. “To love!” Sayu toasted.
“In a sex way!”
“Nooo sex!!” A muffled cry came from Ai’s bosom as Eri flailed helplessly in the older girl’s death embrace.
Risa bypassed the chocolate milk and started chugging directly from the vodka bottle to catch up quickly.

Sorry for any mistakes- I've been so out of practice, it's so not funny. And I will give Kiji-chan a cookie if she will close one eye on my alarming creative liberties with medical jargon.
Maybe I will return and link all the funny-sounding terms to Wiki, but really... Google is your best friend.
Rndy, I've updated. *ahem* Feels so good to say that. The power!!
-
FIRST!!!! COS I'M A TROLL LIKE THAT!!!
OMG I MISSED THIS FIC SO MUCH. MISSED YOU SO MUCH. LET THIS UPDATE WAVE NEVER END!!!
Peer pressure ftw. XD
I'm not quite coherent at the moment.
Lol Mano!Zombie. I was just thinking, we kill ManoEri off a lot when she died that first time. Then you brought her back. Then she died again. And so on and so forth. Poor Mano-chan. :lol: I don't feel sorry for her at all. XD
Sayu being a break-in artist. Who'd have thunk that? Where in the world did she get the practice from??? And what is Aya afflicted with?!
Eri and brothels. Please let there be a scene where we see her getting a prostitute for Miki. Please let that prostitute be one of the H!P girls. You get to choose whoever. There should be enough to pick from. XD
Also, Gorokkies getting drunk in the end. I loved it. Let there be more.
Lastly, I LOVE YOU. IN A SEX WAY. not
:lol:
-
all you fic authors are conspiring aren't you. updating all these awesome things while i cant read them T__T such a cruel, cruel world...
-
Omg this was so worth the wait!! When Mano first came in, I had no idea it was going to turn out like it did. I was like, "Dang, grac must really dislike Mano to immediately kill her off like that."
I should have know it would result in absolute hilarity, zombies and cursing and crazy, oh my!
Then the side with Rika and Aya, featuring Sayu the expert lockpick. So, what? Aya has a tumor? Blood clot? ...Hamster? in her brain? It was left on a bit of a cliffhanger, too...
Then, at the end, coping with alcohol. A good end to every bad day.
Hope we wont have to wait this long to find out what happens next XD
-

-
Essy: I MISS YOU TOO, YOU CRAZY TROLL PERSON. Here, as requested.
Kijichan: I laugh at your misfortune, as I am certain Essy does also. (Not really, you know i adore you and your keyboard mashing. Just take this current spate of updates as incentive to study hard so that one day, you too can become as awesome a doctor as the girls and be called Dr. Bukkake.)
Rndy: You can't kill a good solo artist, don't you know? Well, you didn't have to wait long to find out what happened during. Next... I'm not sure.
Kiwicha: Aichan is a good girl. Maybe they go for Korean food after- who knows?

The HOmake: Faster than crabs in a single-bathroom whorehouse TM
“Just pick the one with the biggest boobs,” Eri repeated Miki’s instructions under her breath as she scanned the line-up of girls Mama set up for her. “Biggest boobs. Biggest boooobs. Hm. Aha! Kore!”
Snapping up to look at the girl, she was shocked to come face-to-face with her old classmate. “Yuichan! What are you doing here?”
“Hi, Erichan!” Okada Yui greeted brightly, waving at Eri happily. “Long time no see!”
Eri still had her mouth agape, her eyes occasionally straying down to Yui’s chest which was jiggling slightly with every movement. “Wha-? What are you doing here? Weren’t you-?”
“Okay, girls. Back to work- Eri-sama’s picked Dazzle-chan here,” Mama shooed the rest of the disappointed girls away.
“Dazzle… chan?” Eri asked, not sure what to say whilst still trying to wrap her head around the fact that her classmate from medical school was currently wearing nothing but sequined tassles in front of her.
“Velvet Harddazzle desu!” Yui flashed a peace sign and busted a dance move, distracting Eri yet again. “It’s my stage name.”
Eri shook her head to rid it from the fog of disbelief and cleared her throat. “That’s nice- it suits you. How-? You’re working here now?”
“Oh, it’s just a part-time job. Helps pay off the student loan.”
“Aren’t you interning anywhere?”
“I’m starting next month at Asa!” Yui informed her, grasping Eri’s hands and jumping up and down enthusiastically. “We’ll be colleagues and dorm buddies again!”
Taking a deep breath and summoning every scrap of discipline she had picked up from working under Fujimoto-san, Eri forced herself to look at Yui’s face with no small effort. “Yui-chan, I know I picked your boobs- you! I mean, but you are my friend and I will not sacrifice you to Fujimoto-san. I have to choose someone else.”
“Mikitty-sama?” Yui bounced nonchalantly. “She comes in from time to time and we have so much fun together.”
“Huh?”
Yui leaned forward and whispered conspiratorially, “She’s really good at kendama.”
“Ohgodboobs, I don’t even know what that means.” Eri backed away quickly from the warm weight of Yui’s body against her.
“She does this great trick where she swings the ball around before it lands in through the hole.”
Yui had to put her medical skills to use while calming the hyperventilating Eri by smothering her with the nearest soft, semi-porous object around- her boobs.
-----
lol- I had a stupid grin on my face the entire time whilst writing this.
-
“Ohgodboobs, I don’t even know what that means.”
THIS. AHAHAHAHAHA THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS!!!!
YOU, GRAC, ARE AWESOMESAUCE. I SALUTE CHU.
-
:rofl: :rofl: :lol: :lol: XD XD :rofl: :rofl: *passes out from too much los* :imdead:
-
Your updates are my motivation to be Dr. Bukkake LOL I will settle for nothing less on the name plate on my door and my hospital ID card and the stitched tag on my white coat. when the time comes, I will take a picture hahhahahah
BUT CURSE YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! I WILL MAKE TIME TO READ DAMMIT!!!
EDIT: FINALLY. I HAVE READ THIS! FINALLY! God, I've never been happier. Can I just say that holy fuck, I haven't laughed this hard in SO FREAKIN' LONG. I was literally grinning like an idiot one second and crying and laughing the next. Like, pardon my language, but holy fuck LOL Great workout for my lungs <3
First off Ch. 11:
The Zombie Mano v. Ai thing was HILARIOUS. I was just soooooo gone. THAT PUNCH THOUGH, THAT'S WHAT KNOCKED ME RIGHT OFF MY FREAKIN' ROCKER.
“I’ll go and see if I can get something out of Diagnostics. There’s nothing a little cleavage flashing won’t get you.”
Bahaha it's so sad how true this is.
Then we had Mission Impossible with Rika and Aya <3 Oh dear god, I was in tears again. I mean, at least until the part it got all serious and depressing, then I kind of...yea. That wasn't as much fun T__T
“It was awkward, but there was whisky.”
But things are always better when whisky is involved!!!
And then this happened:
“Second time of death, 2:25 am,” Risa pronounced.
Reina glared at the patient intently, as if daring her to come back to life. “All in favor of fucking this shit say ‘aye’.”
That's something you don't see in the trauma room everyday :sweatdrop:
“Th’ fuck!” Ai punched the patient in the face and backed away quickly to the corner of the room. “I’m tellin’ ya, we gotta cut th’ head off! Fuckin’ zombies coming t’eat our brains.” All of them turned as one to gape at Ai’s outburst. The Fukuian was crouched in the corner of the room, glowering wildly at the gurney whilst mumbling about fire axes, evil umbrellas and conspiracies.
“You really need to stop playing video games, Aichan.” Risa suggested gently.
I was quite literally crying, nose dripping and everything. I was just :rofl:
“So what did she say?” Ai asked promptly.
“With or without the cussing?”
Risa rolled her eyes. “Without, please.”
“Then she didn’t say anything.”
I lost it here. Oh god, I want a boss like Miki. OH GOD PLEASE.
“The hell you’re leaving me here alone with the damn zombie!”
THE BATTLE NEVER ENDS BAHAHHA
Then this happened:
“Motherfucker!” Ai’s voice rang out loudly from the trauma room, alarming everyone standing in the vicinity.
“Oh god, is she okay? My baby!”
Reina sighed and led them away from the area gently. “That’s actually a very good sign. Dr. Takahashi is extremely passionate about her patients’ well-being.”
And I was basically on the floor, and holding the fuck out of my stomach because it really hurt to breathe because I was just laughing THAT hard. Because I mean, I love scared-the-fuck-out-of-zombies Ai LOL
“Come in here and close the door.”
A pause. “Are you going to hurt me?”
Oh sweet jesus. Can i say it again? I REALLY WANT A BOSS LIKE MIKI. OH MY GOD.
“’Course there is,” Miki interjected matter-of-factly. “Medically dead humans with brain parasites that keep it moving and lumbering around. There’s a research paper on it and everything. Don’t you kids learn anything in medical school nowadays?”
The level of alarm that crossed Ai’s face was unparalleled to anything Eri ever came up with and that prompted Miki to send Eri out for prostitutes just to make sure her intern still gave the best panicked looks.
Just when I thought I recovered, you shove chicken-butt-imsofuckingscaredofthatfreakingzombie Ai and troll Miki in the same damn room. I think at this point I gave up on breathing.
OMAKE with eri and Yui: Let's just say the chances of me recovering are 0 to none :rofl:
I like cookies, but you did pretty well with the medical jargon. Hell, shame on me for not knowing some terminology LOLOLOL If anything, you deserve all the mother effin' cookies on the planet for making me lose it like 12 times in the same damn chapter. For the record, I love you in a sex way <3
-
It made me laugh reading this... great job I better get back to my sad ass fic :nervous

Thanks for the lolling, everyone. Your enjoyment is mine.
And welcome home, Bee-rinko. Here's a short update just for you.
-----
Chapter 12: Day of Rest
She was a light sleeper and often woke up alert, always a good trait for a doctor to have. That was, if she could get any sleep in the first place. Maki slumped over her desk, face planted in a pile of books and notes that she had been reviewing all night long.
The morning shift had long vacated the dorms to begin their early day, and the returning shift had retired so Maki was puzzled to hear rowdy chatter just outside her room.
“Ossu!” Her door swung open easily to reveal a posse of interns, who tossed Reina into the room with a quick nod and left just as abruptly as they appeared, shutting the door behind them with a slam.
“Hm, thought I locked that,” Maki murmured to herself, looking down at her clearly drunk intern who was flat on her back, but scooting head-first across the floor to her desk. “Reina?”
Stopping only when her head hit the leg of the desk, Reina smiled up charmingly at Maki. “Hi. I’m drunk.”
“I can see that,” Maki noted with amusement. “How was the graveyard shift?”
Reina narrowed her eyes and shook her head seriously, wagging a finger unsteadily at Maki. “What happens in graveyard, stays in graveyard,” she breathed dramatically. “’Cept for that damn Mano girl who just won’t stay dead.”
“That bad, huh?” Laughing, Maki hauled Reina up to her feet and half-carried her over to the bed.
“They thought you were sleeping. Well, I thought you were sleeping. But I couldn’t, so they brought me here to sleep,” Reina rambled on drunkenly. “Sayu said you weren’t sleeping for sure. She was right!”
“Well, I’ve been up studying. Couldn’t sleep for some reason.”
“Aw, you couldn’t sleep too?” Reina cooed as if it were the most precious thing ever. “Me neither. Well, not last night ‘cos I was working, but usually when I’m supposed to be sleeping-“
“Reina,” Maki interrupted the drunken ramble. “You really should be sleeping the booze off.”
“I can’t sleep,” Reina warbled, dropping her gaze forlornly.
“Of course you can. Come on.” Maki patted the pillow and shifted Reina into a more comfortable position.
Reina grabbed the front of Maki’s shirt and pulled her closer- the senior resident was caught off balance and landed onto the bed half-sprawled atop Reina. It was no more compromising than how they usually ended up when waking together, but this seemed different.
Reina was staring up at Maki wide-eyed, her fists pressed tightly against her chest as though protecting herself. Maki’s entire body weight was held up by a hand trapped between Reina’s head and the pillow- her body levitated a mere inch away atop the smaller girl as not to crush her.
She could feel Reina. Dear god, but Reina’s heart was hammering. The intern’s heart was beating so hard the blood vessels in her neck and scalp were throbbing. Maki could feel the heat and racing pulse even with the back of her hand.
“I- I’m,” Reina stammered, all traces of inebriation lost with the sudden surge of adrenaline. “Really drunk. Sorry- I’ll just go to my room. I just-“ She twisted beneath Maki, to get off the bed.
“Reina.” Maki had an inscrutable look on her face as she gazed down at her flustered intern.
“I know what people have been saying.” Reina said at last, haltingly. She turned away, face filled with self-reproach. “And I know this really is just me being stupid and needy and you don’t have to-“
“Reina, stop talking.” Maki gathered Reina into a more comfortable position, cradling the girl flush against her chest. The younger girl immediately snuggled into the soft fabric of Maki’s shirt, her ear pressed up against Maki’s front.
And then she heard it. The familiar flutter of Maki’s heart, but accelerated at an almost alarming rate. Maki’s hand slid up to rest lightly on Reina’s collarbone, her thumb gently stroking the girl’s jugular.
They stayed that way for a long time, just listening to the sound of each other’s hearts until they fell asleep.
-----
The alarm clock buzzed insistently and she struggled to wake, her tired mind lapsing in and out of consciousness. Her body felt confined and her arms refused to cooperate when she tried moving it.
Cracking an eye open with some effort, she found soft long hair in her face and the so very familiar sensation of the morning after phenomenon that seemed to afflict her with singular frequency.
“Oh Jesu,” Yossi groaned as she struggled to extricate herself from the heavy tangle of limbs. “I didn’t even drink last night. What the hell?”
She blearily counted two, no, three(?) distinct sets of limbs, but was unable to identify whose they were. The obvious scent of alcohol permeated the air, indicating that she was probably trapped under a considerable pile of drunk and unconscious girls.
This. Was exactly why they used to think she was a ladykiller back in the day. The droves of drunk women who had somehow wandered into her bed by accident was legendary. Her virtue was intact solely due to the judicious employ of many locks and an extremely possessive, but understanding ex-girlfriend. Girlfriend. Hm, partner?
“Waitaminute, my door was locked. What the hell?”
Sayu snored softly and tightened her hold on Yossi’s torso.
Yossi was going to be late for work again.
-----
Matsuura Aya placed career over relationship, be it friendship or love. Which was why she was perfectly alright with dealing with her life-threatening health condition alone. Also, she was perfectly alright with seeing a prositute currently draped over Miki when she entered her best friend’s room for comfort.
It’s not like they were officially together anyway. Aya and Miki had the occasional casual fling with each other, mostly when they were drunk, which was fairly often. They weren’t exclusive, even though there wasn’t really anyone else. For Aya, at least, since she placed her career over relationships.
Yes, well, all that aside- what in the hell is a kendama doing amongst all the sex toys?
Her head was aching and all she wanted to do was lie down. Preferably in someone’s arms, but most definitely not in between Miki and the prostitute. She sat in Miki’s swivel chair, trying not to think too much and strain her malformed brain ever further.
“Tan, wake up.” She was privately glad her voice didn’t come out as shaky as she felt.
“Mmragh?” Miki wiped away a thin line of drool stuck to her face.
“You’re just so sexy and attractive. Sometimes, I wonder why you have to pay for sex.”
Miki pushed the snoring Yui to the side, squinting with one eye at Aya. “I don’t pay ‘em f’sex.”
“Mhm sure.”
Yawning widely, Miki stretched and glanced at the clock. “What th’ hell? I jus’ got into bed.”
Aya swiveled around and then stood up abruptly. “Never mind. Go back to sleep. I’ll go sleep in my bed. Alone.”
“Ugh,” Miki groaned, seeing Aya stalk out of her room. She sighed as she heard Aya’s door slam shut and extricated herself from Yui’s embrace with some effort.
Shuffling down the corridor to Aya’s door drowsily, she found the door locked. “Aya-chaaan.” She slapped the door weakly several times, punctuating her knocking with a few thuds of her forehead.
“Uggh.” She slid down bonelessly onto the floor, forehead still connected to the door and fell asleep in the corridor.
-----
Yasuda Kei knew something was amiss even before she walked into her office that morning. She couldn’t quite put a finger on what it was, but she attributed it mostly to the dented door handle and the smell of alcohol emanating from her room.
Rika was asleep on her desk, hugging the empty bottle that once contained her precious, very rare, 35-year-old whisky. An empty bottle of tequila and half a dozen crushed beer cans were lined up neatly in a row on Kei’s credenza where her collection of clay kittens used to be.
“Dammit, Ishikawa.”
“That’s Ishikawa-sama to you,” came the crisp reply. Rika’s eyes were still closed, her face serene.
“Ah. Well, you are most welcome to the use of my office, but might I recommend the couch?”
“Can’t. Threw up on it.”
“Dammit, Ishikawa-sama.”
“Better.”
“You’ll be paying for the steam-cleaning, I presume?” Kei collected the empty cans and bottles into her trash bin.
“Send me the bill when I’m sober.”
“Since you’re here, why don’t you tell me what happened yesterday?”
“Is this a psych session?”
“I’ll send you the bill when you’re sober.”
“There’s nothing to talk about. We cleared some stuff up, but mostly, we drank your booze. You have too much liquor in your office than is proper for a respectable doctor of psychiatry to have.”
Kei leaned back in her chair and regarded Rika, who was now laying flat on her back, clasped hands resting on her belly.
“Rika, are you sabotaging your own relationship because you feel you don’t deserve to be happy with Yossi?”
“Wow, your powers of insight are absolutely staggering, Doctor Yasuda. Next, you’ll be telling me I have feelings for Mikitty.”
“Does this Rosarch resemble anything to you?” Kei asked testily, lifting a card that had the words ‘No Sarcasm, Please’ scribbled onto it.
Rika turned her head to peer at the card and snickered. She resumed her original position, face sobering as she regarded the ceiling thoughtfully.
“I dislike the fact that despite our solid working relationship, that doesn’t always translate into our love life. I dislike that I was too immature to recognize this until it was too late.”
Kei didn’t reply. Her job was to listen anyway. Tilting back further on her chair, she propped her feet up and closed her eyes. It was Sunday, which meant she had no patients. Her desk was currently occupied so she couldn’t work anyhow.
“Aren’t you glad I’m not a crying drunk?” Rika said after a short period of silence.
“You’re a psychotic drunk. How am I glad of this?”
“You’re lucky I cannot feel my legs, or I’d be beating the crap out of you with your own framed medical degree.”
“Shh, go back to sleep.”

The Orientation of Doctor Konkon
Konno Asami knew they were in for it when she saw the sign at the entrance. Someone had hastily scribbled ‘Medical’ over the word ‘Surgical’ and added a few other mildly discriminatory statements in lipstick; so the sign read “Wellcome First-Year Surgical Medical Interns and various Noobs”.
Her best friend, who fell into the ‘various Noobs’ category was already too drunk to care. Already, Konkon had to haul Makoto off Dr. Yoshizawa who was also too drunk to notice that a strange lab tech was humping her leg. They escaped by offering repeated apologies to the senior surgical resident, and was saved by the timely intervention of Ai-chan who seemed a lot more chummy with her boss when she had half a bottle of chocolate vodka in her.
As the only person actually sober in the room (and the Decade’s Most Promising Young Doctor, according to the National Medical Board of Examiners), Konkon felt that it was her moral duty to keep the situation from degenerating any further. They had to make a good first impression after all. Herding her friends and batchmates to the back of the hall, she made a mental tally to make sure everyone was present and accounted for.
Ai helped by putting a headlock on both Reina and a flailing Risa. She licked a smear of chocolate sauce off Reina’s cheek before taking a swig of vodka. Reina was unconcerned since she had an entire bowl of chocolate sauce clasped to her chest like it was her first-born child.
Konkon counted off again, “Eight, nine…” And came short of two. She wasn’t too concerned about Eri, but the other one- the most dangerous one of all, was not in sight. “Gosh darn it, where's-“
A drumroll interrupted her train of thought and the lights dimmed. Dr. Fujimoto stood on the stage, making a fair vocalised mimicry of a drumroll and cymbal splash. “Ladies and- uh, mannish- ladies, I present to you, the pride of Asa University Hospital and Pulse…”
“Ohfuckme.” Apparently her friends were not too far gone to stare in shock at Konkon's uncharacteristic lapse in etiquette.
“Doctor Okada ‘Velvet Harddazzle’ YUIII!”
Dimly, Konkon could hear her colleagues from her class repeat her sentiment, but the most torrential of swearing from Miyoshi Erika was obscured by a faint approximation of what can only be described as porno music.
“Sing louder, Kame! Goddammit,” Miki stage-whispered.
After a mild whimper, Eri's vocalisation of bass thumps and drawling synth imitation into the microphone increased in volume, but maintained its shakiness. That didn’t hinder the magnificent entrance of Okada Yui, dressed in nothing but tassels and a labcoat, strutting flamboyantly onto the stage from the wings to raucous cheering.
“Yeah! Work it, Dazzle-chan! Take it off, baby!”
Far be it from Yui to disobey a direct order from the Chief of Staff, Nakazawa Yuko. And so she ‘took it off’ with much jiggling and very little modesty. After a series of complicated dance moves and bouncy thrusting, she finished her routine by flinging her tassels into the wildly approving crowd.
Miki was beaming as she applauded loudly beside an exhausted Eri who looked as though she had lost something precious in life. Jogging back onto the stage, Miki smiled fondly at the stripper. “And now, our getting-to-know-you Q&A session! Tell us- what is your most valuable achievement to date?” Miki held out the mic, conveniently resting her hand on a generous boob.
Yui flashed a brilliant smile at the crowd and replied earnestly, “I figured out how to balance a wine bottle on my chest so I don’t have to tip it with my hands. Breathing has new meaning.”
Everyone clapped. The resident laughed and smacked Yui on the ass firmly. “Learn something new every day. Sign of a great doctor.”
From the back of the hall, Ai laughed at the antics onstage, despite the mild feeling of watching a train wreck. “Oh man, I’ve never seen Fujimoto-san happy like that. Konkon, you watching? Konkon?” Turning back to locate her friend, she found the usually teetotal Konno chugging a whole bottle of vodka.
And then the orientation party started getting into full swing.

Bonus Material- Morning After: The Disorientation of Doctor Konkon
“Should I go talk to her?”
Risa sighed. “Makochin, I understand what you’re going through, believe me. But you need to- to explore your newly-found sexuality with someone else who isn’t your lesbian role model.”
“But, I really love Yoshizawa-san.”
“You idolize her, you don’t love her.”
“We kissed! It was mutual!”
“And after that she grabbed Ai-chan and shoved her tongue in her ear. What does that tell you?”
“It was an interesting sensation,” Ai piped up for the first time since the entire conversation.
“Ai-chan, you’re not helping,” Risa scolded. “Ponchan, say something to Makochin!”
The Decade’s Most Promising Young Doctor merely stared blankly ahead with dead eyes. Eri was propped up beside her, both hands firmly attached to either side of her head as Sayu lovingly spoon-fed her Ai’s oatmeal concoction of the day.
“Don’t disturb Konno-san. She’s had a rough night,” Reina rasped as she dug into the green mush.
“NOTHING HAPPENED!” Konkon roared loudly, or at least in as loud a decibel as her weak vocal cords permitted. Grabbing Reina by the collar, she fixed wide eyes at the shorter girl. “Nothing. Happened.”
“Okay, alright. Nothing happened.” Reina twisted out of Konkon’s grip easily and settled her disturbed friend back to her seat.
The senior residents jolted out of the silent contemplation of their breakfasts like so many meerkats when they heard the outburst from their juniors’ table across the room. Deciding that it was probably not worth the hangover headache to find out what was going on, they returned to their tight huddle.
“Yossi, do you know that the new lab tech has been making eyes at you all morning?” Rika asked, casually sipping on her coffee.
“I need new fucking locks, is what,” Yossi said. “And Mikitty, why is Yui-chan passed out on your lap at our table?”
“Which idiot assigned Mikitty to provide last night’s entertainment anyway?” Maki muttered.
“That would be Iida-san.” Miki replied, effectively shutting up the low murmur of dissent around the table.
“Doesn’t make it any less idiotic.”
“You don’t get to say that, Yocchan, seeing as how you seemingly enjoyed yourself the most last night.”
“Speaking of people having the most fun last night, the Decade’s Most Promising wasn’t as impressive as I thought she would be,” Aya interjected in a conspiratorial whisper.
“I thought the DMP was plenty promising,” Tsuji said with a laugh. “Did you see us at the liquor table? She built a working radio transmitter out of stuff we found in the trash.”
“In retrospect, it was probably a good thing we were too wasted to fire up the chainsaw,” Kago added sagely.
“Still not wasted enough to carve a watermelon sculpture of the Death Star with a laser scalpel. Imma have that thing bronzed. Konkon rocks!” Tsuji enthused happily. “You rock, Konkon!” she yelled over to the intern’s table.
“NOTHING HAPPENED!!”
And so, the new medical interns began their first day at Asa University Hospital.

This omake was pounded out in the course of roughly two hours at the behest of Essy. Blame her.

DIBS /trollface
AHAHAHAHAHA. I WIN. SIMPLY BY BULLYING YOU INTO WRITING. :D :D :D
*feeds you brains* You deserve ittttt. And a shower. Yes. Which I hope you are taking/have taken in good time. XD
I love Yui-chan. Have I told you I love Yui-chan? WHY YES I THINK I MIGHT HAVE. :D
I like how alcohol makes everything and everyone insane. Drunk Konkon and Two Top with a watermelon sculpture of the Death Star. I WANT TO SEE THAT. And she is still a genius when drunk. I fear to know what else she could have created given more material. :lol:
And I can't believe you wrote all that crack with only one punchline in your head. I take my hat off to you. You win. All hail the Grack!
P.S. I want to know where Eri got so familiar with porno music. :D Was it all the sex shops? Maybe another regular gave her a free CD? Will we see another omake? ;)
