Anyway, I'll get back to you! ...No really!"

it's nothing serious

flynn's making a way bigger deal out of this than needed

[undaunts]

IF YOURE IN THE HOSPITAL ITS PROBABLY A PRETTY BIG DEAL

[undaunts]

oh sorry caps was still on

[fatalstriker]

it's not

the nurse said they usually don't keep people here for this stuff

flynn's just... flynn

[undaunts]

i dont really think thats my call but... i can bring board games???

[fatalstriker]

let's not give flynn reason to think what he's doing is okay

[undaunts]

um... isnt he just looking out for you though?

... ill bring board games

[fatalstriker]

he can look out for me without putting me in a hospital

and keeping robots outside the doors and windows

[undaunts]

thats probably something you have to take up with him

what kind of board games do you like

[fatalstriker]

you think i didn't try?

i dunno, i never played board games

[undaunts]

i am not getting involved in your familial dispute

but ok then!! ill bring candyland.

[she...may or may not be serious.]

[fatalstriker]

candyland?

[he has no idea what that is, but it sounds vaguely intriguing.]

[undaunts]

candyland!! its pretty fun. youll see!

be there in a flash ok?

[She is literally going to grab candyland and come by if Yuri doesn't stop her.]

[fatalstriker]

i feel like i'm gonna regret this, but... ok

[yeah, he's definitely going to regret this.]

[undaunts]

[OKAY IT IS.

CANDYLAND HERE WE COME.

Which means that Ruby is appearing at the hospital a short period of time later with a box in her hands. It's not...quite candyland, because CERES, so instead it is artificially-sweetened-land, but Ruby's rolling with it.

And poking her head into doors in the hospital.]

Yuuuuuriiiiii are you in this one that's guarded by robots?

[fatalstriker]

How'd you ever guess that I was here?

[you know, aside from the fact that literally no other room has robots guarding it. seriously, flynn needs to slow down.]

[undaunts]

Well, there were the robots, and you mentioned something about robots, so I thought--it definitely has to be that room.

And I was right!

[Ruby, he was being sarcastic.]

[fatalstriker]

Good to know you don't miss any cues.

[we need to get ruby a sarcasm detector.]

[undaunts]

[She really needs one.

Oh well. She's holding up the colorful game box now, even as she steps forward to the bedside.]

Soooo... I brought the game! And you look... pretty okay, so that's good too!

[Before he even asks--]

I'm still not gonna help you break out though.

[fatalstriker]

[he arches a brow, more so at the game than her statement. what has his life even become?]

And you think a game's still a good consolation prize for that.

[undaunts]

Well... yeah!

[Is that weird... she thinks that's totally normal.]

Games are fun! Let's have a good time, okay? I'll teach you how to play! [Yeah, she's plopping herself down in a chair next to him.]

[fatalstriker]

Why do I get the feeling you and I have very different ideas of "fun" here...

[this is why yuri is constantly exasperated at teenage girls. here it is, right here.]

[undaunts]

Yuri!

[GASP. She sounds so scandalized right now.]

Do you not like games?

[fatalstriker]

I don't think doing anything while sitting around like this has ever been my style.

[undaunts]

... But how do you live without sitting around sometimes?

[She continues to take things a bit far too literally.]

I mean, wouldn't you get tired always standing?
