[open] You always wanted a visit, right?

[highly_gifted]

Who: Feivel and/or Nat and YOU
What: Just opening doors from the ghost zone into places and then?????
When: First half of April, pick your date!
Where: Anywhere!

Exploring the ghost zone is great. It's a weird and new place and a certain set of siblings is having a field trip. Most of the time, they're together, but sometimes they split up or one of them goes alone.

They peek out through almost all doors that they find, unless Nat's Force senses tell her that something bad is behind the door (and then sometimes Fe opens it anyway). Maybe they look out at a street where your character is just standing, but maybe they open a door right into their bedroom too, or something else entirely...

((Please make a note in your subject line regarding if you want to encounter Feivel or Nat or both of them))

He checks Feivel's neck for swelling, turns it gently here and there, checking for pain -- and then nods.

"Neither one of you is seriously hurt, but I'd like to keep you both under observation for the next few hours in case your condition changes. Your injuries, especially yours--" he says with a not at Feivel, "--are the kind that could take a turn for the worse with little warning, so I'd advise either checking into a hospital or letting me keep an eye on you."

Nat trades a glance with Fe. "This really isn't the best way to let Mom and Dad know we're numbered. They'll freak."

It already doesn't feel like that big of a deal. They could have died, they didn't, this is the kind of annoying but needed aftermath.

"We can ask Gabriel to claim that we're staying at his place over night. As long as we don't check into a hospital officially." He's not in the mood to be fussed over, but he'd also rather not have his parents learn about either of them being numbered by them suddenly having to go to the hospital from an injury that they didn't tell them about.

He offers no suggestions for the cover story, but gestures for Feivel to remove the cloth from Nat's scalp. "Can you bring me clean water?" he asks the boy. "This will go quicker if you do."

Aaron is already prepping a small shot. "Hold still." He'll pull Nat's hair away from an injection site, clean it with the water and antiseptic he has, and inject local anesthetic. In a minute or two, her skin near the cut will go tingly and then numb.

"It works." She winces seeing the needle and shuts her eyes tightly. Nat doesn't even have her ears pierced. Needles, and walking into something that'll hurt knowing about it beforehand, are just worse than other pain.

Feivel nods and

disappears into the ghost zone. The entrance into the backroom of some school cafeteria is very close nearby that way, and he reappears with a couple of water bottles that he plops down next to Aaron.

"Thank you."

The procedure is quick, all things considered: washing the blood from her hair is what takes the longest. The rest of the blood is carefully daubed away, and then the area is sterilized. Aaron pulls a surgical needle and thread from his bag, and soon, there are three carefully placed stitches holding the cut together.

"Keep that dry for the next several days," Aaron warns, dropping the needle into a sharps box and packing everything else away.
