Shizuka nodded in understanding. Her teachers were often the same way, and when she began her shaman training when she was younger, they'd often get mad when she talked about ghosts and stuff like that. Little Shizuka would try to convince them that it was real, and she'd often end up in detention for it. She could only imagine how thrilled they'd be if her vocal cords were ripped out earlier.
As for the love part, her old teachers surely didn't seem to fond of her...

Suddenly, Faust slams on his brakes; this is a big deal, considering that they're going 100 mph. "There's a car off the road," he says quietly, doing a hair-raising U-turn that plasters Manta's face to the passenger's window.
"I didn't even see them!" Manta says shrilly. "You're going WAY to fast to notice scenery!"
"A man and a woman," Faust says breathlessly, scanning the sides of the road. "The man was looking for help, and the woman was lying on the ground."
"You were imagining it," Manta says. "We were going too fast for you to notice that kind of detail!"
"I SAW them," Faust says. "Don't tell me what I did or didn't see."

"Could you please be a more careful driver?" Amaya pleaded. "You could kill someone in the process of trying to save someone if you keep driving like that!" These words weren't Shizuka's. She was too busy staring ahead, wide-eyed, panting for breath.
I bet I have four traumatic incidences now...

“Yes, of course! I’m sorry,” Faust apologizes, but his attention is firmly on the sides of the road. “Someone’s hurt.... there!”
“You were right,” Manta says, mystified. “I see them...” Faust slows, parking on the side of the road. “What? You’re not going to stop, are you? What if it’s a trick? What if they hijack the car?”
“Most people aren’t like that,” Faust says quietly. “Hello!” he calls, stepping over to the fretful man. “Is everything all right here?”
“My wife!” the man cries, wringing his hands. “We were trying to get to town, to the hospital, but....”
“I’m a doctor... maybe I can help?”
The man grabs Faust, shoving him forcefully towards the back of the car. “Yes! Please, see if you can help, I’m totally clueless!”
“Oh, God, no,” Faust breathes. “Manta? Shizuka? Come help, quickly!

Shizuka raced over, sort of oblivious to what was going on. She really didn't understand why Faust was pinned against a car when that guy needed his help. Amaya couldn't say ordo anything to help because the man wasn't a shaman, but she followed Shizuka with the possibility of an oversoul if necessary.

The woman is lying on the ground, breathing heavily. "Everything will be all right, Mariko!" her husband assures her. "This man here... he's a doctor!"
"I can't do this," Faust says, his voice shaking. "I can't. Oh, why couldn’t it have been a tumor?"
Mariko looks upset. "I don't know him!" she yells, pushing him away. "He's pale, and foreign, and has eyes like a demon! I won't let him touch my baby!"
"You have to," the man says, drawing a gun and placing it against Faust's head. “I need your help,” he says desperately.
“I won’t be much help to you dead,” Faust says dryly. “Put that away, and I’ll do what I can. But I’m a diagnostician, not an OBGYN!”
“You’ll do. Just help my wife.”
“Stay away from me!” shrieks Mariko

Horo frowned, "Sorry Tamao. Hey!! You wouldn't happen to have a cellphone would you? I'd use Manta's but last time I did the antenna thingy fell off..." He rolled his eyes, "Manta yelled at me...something about pulling it out too hard."
**Tinmaiden-> Sorry if you didn't read the first page or anything, but there is a limit of 3 characters. This include OCs.

Shizuka kneeled by the woman's side, trying to comfort her.
"Calm down. He's quite experienced, and he won't hurt you." Amaya said, with Shizuka lip-synching along to make it appear as if she was the one speaking. she knew this was the only way the man would put away his gun.
"I really didn't trust him before either, but you can't judge a book by it's cover."

Faust smiles quizically at Shizuka, as though uncertain how to take the comments. "Manta?" he asks. "Please wait in the car, give Mariko some privacy. Shizuka, there might be some blood, but would you mind comforting her in some way? A woman's touch is something I'm terrible at providing," he adds, shrugging helplessly. "Is this your first birth?" he asks the husband, who nods nervously. "Great," sighs Faust. "Well... I could explain it in tedious detail, or I could sedate her. Which would be easier?"
"Sedation," the husband says quickly, as Mariko attempts to bolt.

"I think we should let Mariko choose which one. After all, it is her body and her child." Amaya said as Shizuka lip-syinched and kept the woman from running off.
((Aww, thx tinmaiden! ^-^ i'll think of which character i wanna roleplay))

Ah! If they're temporary characters then that's ok. I just wasn't sure if they were staying long. ^_^
Ren sighed at the corner of a major intersection. He looked both ways before crossing. Upon reaching the other side he noticed Marco hiding behind a car. "What on earth are you doing!?"
"Nothing!" Marco jumped at him, "You didn't see me!" He started to take off then quickly turned back and grabbed Ren, "You also didn't see me kidnap you." Marco takes off running with Ren in his arms screaming.

"I don't like him," Mariko growls, as Faust hesitantly brushes a damp strand of hair away from her brow. "His hands are cold."
"I can't help it," Faust sighs. He takes off his jacket. "Here, you can lie on this... I wish I could reassure you in some way, but I've only ever delivered one baby. It will help if you relax."
"Relax? I think you're the devil!" Mariko hisses.
"Are you?" the husband asks in a panicked voice, his hand tightening on the gun.
"I can't focus with that thing pressed against the back of my cranium!" Faust says loudly. "And no, I'm not the devil. Breathe," he coaxes Mariko.
"Who is she?" Mariko asks between breaths, referring to Shizuka.
"My assistant," Faust says clinically. "She's a very sweet girl. We'll get you through this," he promises, even though his brows are knit together worriedly.
