Summary: Ren gets his CAT scan. Somewhat reluctantly.
Dr. Takayuki: *knocks softly on the door to Ed's room, opening it with slight apprehension on his face* Mr. Ren Elric? I was told you'd be in here, it's time for your CAT sc- *pauses, recognizing the young man he saw pacing outside the OR room the other day* Oh, it's you! *pushes up his glasses, trying not to let it fluster him* In any case, the room is all ready, if you'd follow me, please?
OOC!Envy: *hunkered down in the chair next to the be where Ed is passed out, looks up sharply, narrows his eyes, and makes absolutely no effort to move*
Dr. Takayuki: *waits for a moment, and then steps closer into the room; they had warned him that this patient might need delicate handling, and he was inclined to agree after what he had seen the other day* I promise you, the procedure is very quick. You'll be back before Mr. Elric wakes up, I assure you. Now, please. This is a hospital, and time is precious.
OOC!Envy: *rubs tiredly at his forehead with a long sigh, finally slipping out of the chair and moving hesitantly toward him, biting his lip and not wanting to loose sight of Ed*
Dr. Takayuki: *steps aside, gesturing Ren through the door patiently, looking almost ghostly under the neon lights with his white coat and pale yellow hair* Thank you.
OOC!Envy: *nods with a short jerk of his head, looking down at his hands as he walks, fingers still twitching and fluttering*
Dr. Takayuki: *walks to the side and slightly behind Ren, guiding him down sterile white hallways* Are you wearing anything metal? Jewelry, pins, piercings?
OOC!Envy: *glances over at him, dazed by the bright lights but comprehending well enough, hesitating before fidgeting with his watch, getting it off and then looking at his wedding ring, from it up to the doctor*
Dr. Takayuki: *flinches a little at what he's about to say, but shakes his head* I'm sorry, Mr. Elric. You'll have to remove that as well. *opens the door to a brightly-lit room with a strangely-shaped device in the middle; he holds out a small plastic tray for Ren to put his wedding ring and watch on* It should only take around ten minutes.
OOC!Envy: *takes a deep breath, slipping the ring off and setting it in the tray carefully, along with the watch, and feeling naked without it*
Dr. Takayuki: *gestures to the circular machine at the center of the room* Please lie flat on your back *walks over to the monitoring equipment and types a few things into the computer before returning to Ren's side, wondering how best to phrase what he was going to say* I'm going to have to secure your head in place, so it doesn't move while the machine is taking the pictures.
OOC!Envy: *stares at him, wide-eyed an incredulous, not getting anywhere near that machine if he can help it*
Dr. Takayuki: *notices the hesitation and asks, in a kind voice* Are you alright? Would you like me to explain the process to you? It's nothing to be afraid of, I assure you. Think of it as an oversized, very oddly shaped camera. Once you lie down it will move you in place and take pictures of your head - nothing more. It's harmless.
OOC!Envy: *if he could talk, right about now he'd be explaining that his kind doesn't stand for being subjected to medical tests, but he can't talk, so he opts for turning into small, black cat, hissing, and running under the nearest chair*
Dr. Takayuki: ............... *GAPES* I definitely need to stop working the night shift ... knew they said it was rough the first week, but... *kneels down, looking under the chair to confirm that, yes. His patient did just turn into a cat*
OOC!Envy: *growls menacingly, fur on end and tail bristling, backed up against the wall underneath his chair*
Dr. Takayuki: M-Mr. Elric? *thinks it's worth a shot, because there's a slight chance that he's NOT crazy but just doesn't understand what's going on* Think of how unhappy your husband will be if he wakes up and you're - uh. A cat. I swear, the procedure is non-invasive and scrupulously safe. Please? *yeah, he's just crazy. Oh well. Hello, funny farm*
OOC!Envy: *edges closer to him so as to aim a good swat at his hand, claws out*
Dr. Takayuki: Now, really. *in a scolding voice* That's just childish, even if you are a figment of my imgination! Why can't I hallucinate a nice cat, of all things? *stands up, checks the plastic tray - it really does have a watch and ring in it, unless he's hallucinating those, too* I can't work like this.
OOC!Envy: *if a cat could look amused, this would be the face of an amused cat, skittering out from under the chair and regarding him smugly*
Dr. Takayuki: *looks down at the cat, desperately trying to think of something to do* They don't pay me enough for this, you know that? *he would never say such things to a patient, but he thinks Mr. Elric turning into a cat while he's trying to do his job makes it excusable - even if it is his brain's fault* Alright, fine. Act like a child. Even we don't do the scans, we shan't find what's wrong with you, and you'll be a mime for the rest of your life. Maybe you can work in a circus *maybe scolding sense into him will work...?*
OOC!Envy: *THE NERVE!* ............ *bites him on the ankle*
Dr. Takayuki: *doesn't budge, though his eyes widen a little as he wonders whether Mr. Elric has rabies; while his teeth are busy tearing at his ankle, Dr. Takayuki swoops down and grabs him by the scruff of the neck, pulling him up into the air*
OOC!Envy: *squirms and struggles, hissing angrily and glaring levelly at him*
Dr. Takayuki: Would you like me to go back and awake your husband - who needs his rest, by the way - and explain to him that you cannot have the CAT scan done because you refused and turned into a cat, yourself?! *glares right back, ignoring the niggling bit of his brain that wonders if one of his colleagues is going to wander in and find him yelling at a cat - or worse thin air*
OOC!Envy: *goes limp in his hold, beginning to fastidiously wash one of his paws for lack of a better idea, but otherwise becoming considerably more cooperative and less full of sharp, pointy corners*
Dr. Takayuki: *takes this opportunity to edge closer to the machine, setting Ren down cautiously on the table but maintaining a grip on his neck, just in case* I swear it doesn't bite, unlike you. The longer you dither here, the more likely it is Mr. Elric will awake before your return. Now will you please cooperate. Frankly I couldn't care less if you get better or not, but it's my job to diagnose you. Please cease acting like a four-year-old.
OOC!Envy: *changes back into himself once he's set down, staring morosely down into his lap, fingers fluttering*
Dr. Takayuki: *smiles humorlessly, letting go of his neck* Please lie down, Mr. Elric. I promise you, it will be quick and you won't feel a thing.
Dr. Takayuki: *thinks to himself that if there were any way TO make a CAT scan hurt he WOULD just this time, but it's quite impossible; his ankle rather stings*
OOC!Envy: *shivers, nodding shakily and lying down carefully, squeezing his eyes shut*
Dr. Takayuki: *quickly adjusts the settings around Ren's head, fastening it in and rushing over to type a few more things on the computer* It'll start in just a moment. Now, listen. It's of the utmost importance that you stay as still as you possibly can, or else we'll need to do it again. I have to step out of the room. Alright? *heading for the door already*
OOC!Envy: *doesn't nod, since he can't move his head very well, but he presses his fingers into the flat surface next to his hips on the table, trying to still them as best he can*
Dr. Takayuki: *shuts the door behind him, the CAT scan humming gently to life, the surface Ren is lying on beginning to move within the circular opening of the machine*
OOC!Envy: *tenses, eyes screwed shut, biting his lip*
Dr. Takayuki: *watches through the door's window as the machine circles around the recalcitrant patient's head, the light falling on his face, taking it's photos - comes back in once the procedure is done, undoing the restraints on Ren's head*
OOC!Envy: *jolts up instantly, scooting away down the table as quickly as he can and hugging his knees to his chest*
Dr. Takayuki: *beckons Ren with him to the computer, taking the comfortable swiveling chair and tapping away at various things, bringing up the new images of Ren's brain; his face goes even paler as he looks, closing the files and reopening them in shock* I - this isn't possible.
OOC!Envy: *moves slowly over to stand behind him at the computer, watching over his shoulder with detached interest*
Dr. Takayuki: *looks from the pictures, to Ren, and back* You should be dead. This - this goes beyond trauma. There's hardly anything there at all to call a brain; no offense. I suppose the only reason you're still moving around when your brain is like this has something to do with the fact that you can turn into a cat - am I right? *wonders which is the cause, which the effect* ... I don't think my medical curiosity extends that far. *examines the pictures again, zooming in, leaning close to his monitor, his glasses slipping down his nose* There seem to be - fragments of something in here. *zooms in a bit more* The colouration indicates bone - but there's no skull trauma ...
OOC!Envy: *bites his lip, rubbing at his forehead again and trying not to panic, pacing agitatedly behind the chair*
Dr. Takayuki: *swivels around, watching with a calculating eye* Are you alright, Mr. Elric?
OOC!Envy: *looks levelly back with a "what do you think" expression*
Dr. Takayuki: *has already gone back to examining the pictures, unable to help himself* Not. Possible. It's just not possible. I've never seen anything like this. Should I call a specialist... *talking to himself by now, changing the angle of the scans, examining the horrible state Ren's brain is in*
OOC!Envy: *gives up trying to communicate with him, falling back against the wall and sinking slowly down it with a sigh*
Dr. Takayuki: I don't know what to tell you, Mr. Elric *without taking his eyes from the screen, his glasses reflecting its glow eerily* Normally I would suggest surgery for extensive damage, but this goes completely beyond that. This is more like something out of a horror movie than a practical situation. Is there anything you can tell me about your - special condition, let's just call it - that could help plan a medical course of action?
OOC!Envy: *shakes his head slowly, trying to think but having obvious issues keeping that in order*
Dr. Takayuki: Well, I'll deliver these results to your husband, once he awakes *he mutters to himself, printing out copies of the scan in various sizes, showing the soupy mess of a brain from a variety of angles* Perhaps he will be a little more helpful. *he waves towards the plastic tray* That should be all.
OOC!Envy: *glances up at him, taking shuddering breath and giving the doctor a look of genuine apology, moving very slowly to try and get up off of the floor*
Dr. Takayuki: *pities him, despite the whole cat episode that he's doing his best to forget, and offers his hand to help Ren up*
OOC!Envy: *reaches out hesitantly to take it, grimacing in pain and getting to his feet, slipping the watch back over his wrist and fastening it before picking up the ring and fingering it delicately, watching it glint in the fluorescent lights*
Dr. Takayuki: *leads him back to the other Mr. Elric's room, thinking that the world is indeed a strange place, and he ought to get some more sleep*
OOC!Envy: *follows obediently, slipping back into Ed's room and turning back into the small, black cat, hopping up onto the bed and curling up against Ed's unconscious form, licking softly at one of his fingers*
Dr. Takayuki: *clutches the printouts a little tighter, shaking his head and muttering something to himself, going off to catch a nap in his office*

CLEARLY MY BRAIN IS THE ONE THAT HAS DISINTEGRATED.
