Elza/Stories
After getting acquainted with her new place, Elza joins Alk and Stella on a shopping trip in Palpebra. When Stella is pickpocketed, Elza brings the pain.
Alk: Okay... This should do it.
Alk: How's that look, Elza?
Elza: My, you've spruced up the place, Alk. Thanks!
Elza: I never thought I'd see a treatment room without a single bloodstain!
Alk: Uh, just what kind of hospital were you working at?
Elza: Oh, it was a lovely place! Peril around every corner, titillating thrills, teeming with clashes!
Elza: *sigh* I'm sure it won't be long until I recreate the same environment here. How exciting.
Stella: Thank you for helping us set up the treatment room.
Elza: Oh, you don't have to thank me, Stella! I'm doing this because I WANT to.
Elza: After all, I get antsy if I don't swab or inject anyone in a while... Hee hee!
Stella: Do you need supplies? Medicine should be available in Palpebra.
Alk: What if they have different kinds of medicine here? Using the wrong stuff could mean trouble.
Elza: All the better, if you ask me! Nothing to stimulate the senses like medicine from another world!
Elza: I'll need to study them first, of course. And if I still don't understand, that's what test subjects are for!
Alk: Whoa, that's a lotta medicine!
Alk: Okay. Bandages, disinfectants, potions, herbs...
Alk: Monster livers, tongues, slimy mushrooms... corrosive acid? What do you need THESE for?!
Elza: Hehe. Are you suuure you wanna know?
Alk: F-for my own sake, yes...
Elza: Most of it's for anesthetic use. The rest of it's for... postmortem treatment.
Alk: Postmortem? What good is medicine gonna do after someone dies?!
Elza: You'd be surprised! I can usually make something happen around the seventh time.
Alk: Wow. Seventh time's the charm, I guess.
Elza: Oh, don't you worry your pretty little head. I can jump-start a heart anytime, now that I have the stuff for it.
Elza: This town's not so bad. It doesn't have that ocean breeze, but it reminds me a little of home.
Stella: This place was established to serve adventurers hoping to explore the Kaleidoscope.
Elza: That explains all those rowdy fighter- types. As well as the—
Stella: ...
Adventurer: Oops. 'Scuse me there, li'l miss.
Adventurer: Ugh!
Elza: As well as the people with wandering hands!
Alk: Wh-what are you doing, Elza?!
Elza: Stella, where's your money?
Stella: Oh... It's gone!
Elza: See? Looks like someone needs to learn their lesson!
Adventurer: W-wait, I'm sorry! Here... Take the money! Ngh, my shoulder...
Adventurer: YEEEOUCH!
Elza: Yep! That's a fracture, all right.
Elza: Don't worry, I'll fix you right up!
Adventurer: Ow, ow, ow! Wait, don't pull there—OUCH!
Elza: Someone like this would make an excellent test subject, don't you think?
Alk: We'd... best stay on her good side.
Stella reports a monster attack in Palpebra that has caused people in town to seemingly lose consciousness. Elza and Stella work in tandem to bring them back.
Alk: I don't see what the big deal is... It's just a small cut.
Elza: You don't know that—neglect it now and it may take a turn for the worse!
Elza: What if a curse snuck in somehow? It could grow into a face! Who would cure it for you then?
Alk: A face?! You're scaring me...
Elza: This is why we take preventative measures!
Alk: Either way, I think you've got some more critical patients waiting...
Lean Pirate: Elza! My heart... It burns whenever I think of you! Relieve me of this pain!
Burly Pirate: Me too! If I'm unable to see your smile even for a day, I feel like death!
Elza: Hehe... Those boys can wait.
Alk: Wait... Crimson Blades? Why are you here?
Lean Pirate: We heard Elza started up a new clinic!
Burly Pirate: Now's our big chance while that quack is gone!
Elza: Hmm... I wonder what your captain would have to say about that?
Lean Pirate: Oh, n-no... Please... have mercy...
Elza: If you're not actually injured, please leave—
Stella: Elza!
Stella: It's an emergency—all the adventurers in Palpebra have fallen asleep!
Elza: Calm down, Stella. Breath in and out... Okay. Now, from the beginning.
Stella: It was a monster attack. There were minimal injuries, but everyone suddenly collapsed.
Elza: Hmm... Knockout gas? Or maybe they're all in shock?
Elza: Understood. I'll bring what I can find here. I could use some assistance, however.
Lean Pirate: Of course! Anything for you!
Elza: Alk, you stay here. I'll let you know if we need more people.
Alk: Okay!
Elza: Tee-hee... It'll be good to finally get my hands dirty again.
Elza: Lunatic Injection!
Adventurer: Whoa!
Elza: Welcome back, honey.
Elza: I'll let the monk handle this one. Next!
Stella: Quickly, Elza! This one isn't breathing!
Elza: Tee-hee... You're not dying on my watch!
Elza: Good work, you two! Looks like it all worked out.
Alk: All I did was carry a bunch of medicine. What about you, Stella?
Stella: I'm... feeling a bit faint after that.
Stella: But are you all right, Elza?
Elza: It's been a while since I've had any real action, so I might be a little bit worse for wear.
Elza: But the important thing is that nobody died today! They fought and survived, each and every one of them... and that's a victory for me.
Elza: I haven't had a rush like this in so long! I could just bask in this enervation for days...
Stella: They... fought? Was I fighting as well?
Elza: But of course! This is your victory too!
Elza: Tee-hee... I'll be counting on you next time, sister-in-arms!
Stella: I look forward to serving with you, Elza.
