The hospital is largely no-smoking, but you can have a quick ciggie out here, in this outdoors place which is outdoors. There's also a few vending machines that don't always work.

:: Lenin walks outside into the designated smoking area and lights up. He looks around, thinking about Sharon, worried that she hasn't woken up yet.::

::Luke walks into the hospital room, dressed up like a doctor.::

"You know that's a filthy habit."

"What are you, some kind of doctor?"

::Lenin says, without turning around. Then he does, and eyes his 'brother' through the... 'disguise'.::

"I see. It would appear that you are."

::He offers the pack.::

"Cigarette?"

"Nah. Not that it will give me cancer or anything."

::He takes a seat on the couch.::

"How's she doing?"

"She's stable. I guess. She's still not woken up, yet."

::Lenin sighs and picks at his fingers, still anxious.::

"I thought she would've, by now."

"What about you? How've you been holding up?"

"Yeah yeah, I'm fine. Lorenzo's found himself a girlfriend too. Though as far as I can tell, he seems to be in some sort of other dimension right now..."

::Luke blinks in disbelief.::

"I'm sorry? Could you repeat that?"

"Lorenzo. Got a girlfriend. Unbelievable I know, but there you have it."

"That's good that the two of you have girlfriends."

::Lenin pulls a face and makes a split second decision. How studly.::

"Let's get your fish back."

"And how do you propose to do that? Even then, isn't it a bit pointless for me to go after someone who clearly despises me? Who's been pretty much unreachable for over a year? And how long will it even last? I mean, I'm pretty much immortal or whatever."

"Can mermaids die? And why not? The challenge is off, meaning we should be able to go after her."

"Okay, then. So how do we get there?"

::Stubbing out his cigarette in an ash tray, Lenin shrugs.::

"I'm not sure. It'll be some ridiculously arduous journey involving the risking of necks and much destruction of personal property. Methinks."

"Sounds like fun."

"And will end in massive explosions that'll rock the world!"

"See previous post."

"And a beloved character will lose their life in the ultimate battle between GOOD and EVIL."

"Oh, boy. A classic. Let's just hope that 'beloved character' is the Sea Hag."

"I dunno... she doesn't sound too heroic to me..."

"Meh. Whatever. Let's get started, shall we? We got a fish to save!"

::He remembers why Lenin was here in the first place.::

"I'll get changed and you go check up on Sharon, all right?"

::Walks out.::

::Lenin turns.::

(Andrea should've finished by now.)

::He heads to Sharon's room.::
