"... that was one of the things that I was good at while being a maid." After speaking, the nurse turned on the shower and adjusted the knobs to make the water warm. She put her right hand under the shower head to feel the temperature and adjusted the knobs with her left.

Allison stepped into the tub and grabbed the shampoo. She lowered head under the shower head to make her hair wet, and then she opened the shampoo container and put some of it on her hand, and rubbed it into her hair. Once her hair became soapy, she lowered her head under the shower head again to wash it off. While doing so, the nurse kept watch over her left wing and leg to make sure the casts didn't get soggy. She found part of a wall that came out, it was kind of like a removable door to the piping of the bathroom, so she used it to stop the water from washing over Allison's leg cast.

Moving on to the body wash, Allison grabbed it and a towel. She held the towel under the water, and then put some of the body wash on it. Mmm, coconut body wash. The nurse helped with washing, and Allison rinsed herself off before turning the water off.

"That was quick," the nurse said.

Allison nodded, and grabbed the towel that was resting next to the sink. She dried herself where she could, and the nurse assisted with areas that she couldn't reach, such as her back.

Allison stepped out of the tub, rapidly shaking her hair with the towel to dry her hair of any extra water droplets, and set the towel down next to the sink. She managed to get a few pieces of clothing on, but the nurse eventually had to step in to help.

"You wear stuff like this?" The nurse asked, looking at Allison when she finished getting her clothes on.

"Yeah, I probably look like a rainbow." Allison replied with a slight smirk.

The nurse smiled. "I'd be lying if I said you didn't."

Both of them walked out of the bathroom, with the steam rolling out with them. Limping over, Allison sat down on the end of her bed, and lifted up her backpack to peer inside.

"Well, I need to check on other patients. Do you need anything else before I go?"
"No, I believe I'll be fine." Allison replied, looking away from her backpack and over to the nurse.

"Okay, well, have a nice day. Get some rest," the nurse said, and left the room, quietly closing the door.

"Get some rest...?" Allison muttered. "I need to get out of here."

She limped over to the bathroom and picked up her clothes that she was wearing before she showered. She staggered back to her bed and stuffed them into her backpack. She looked around for anything else she needed, double-checked the bathroom, checked under the bed and sheets, checked the table. Allison saw the body pillow on her bed. When did this get here? She picked it up, wondering if she should take it with her.

"Nah, I won't bring it."

She saw metal adjustable stick-looking things on the table, and said to herself, "I have no idea what those are, but I probably won't need them." She also noticed a clear plastic bag full of purple coins. On the bag it read, "Endercoins... These are for you, Allison. ~Adam". She stared at the bag, mostly at his handwriting. Sighing, she grabbed the bag and put them in her pocket.

She took one last look around the room, ending with her eyes landing longingly on Adam's bed. Sighing again, she opened the door and headed out into the hallway.

The floor was made of polished andesite, and the walls and ceiling were made of obsidian. At the end of the hallway, to her left, it ended with green glass and a countertop to put your hands on as you looked outside. She looked to her right, realizing that she was on the first floor. Around 25 blocks away from the entrance of the hallway was the side of the reception desk. It was made of a shiny and polished quartz. The floor leading up to the desk was made of purpur blocks.

Before beginning to walk towards the reception desk, she closed the door. She glanced at it, realizing that 1, it had a number on it, and 2, she didn't have a room key.

"Room 103... I'm not sure if I'll be coming back but I'll remember that just in case."

She started walking toward the reception desk, and noticed that there wasn't anyone sitting at it. They must be on break. Maybe it's noon here?

Allison continued limping out of the hallway, and managed to reach the reception desk to rest. These casts are heavier than I thought they'd be.

A moment later, she began again, and eventually reached the front door of the hospital. The doors were automatic, and a breeze of fresh air hit her face.

Now, to find the dungeons.

"...do you guys want to come with?" Adam offered.

"Sure," Kat perked up.

Fortunately they were already on the right path to the hospital, so they didn't need to change course.

For most of the way they had to fight their way through the crowd of endermen who were walking and those on bikes. Eventually they made it to a less populated area, which was ironically the marketplace. It seemed deserted. Like someone came by and swept her talons through any life that existed in this place.

"I guess everyone packed up here, they must be on lunch break or somethin'," Adam spoke to himself.

"Hm, probably." Seto replied.

They turned right, away from the marketplace, and the giant hospital loomed in front of them. It was three stories tall, with hallways branching off of the main area on the first floor. It was made of obsidian, with magenta and purple glass panes as windows. It had a decently sized entrance, with automatic doors.

No one was sitting at the reception desk. The hospital seemed abandoned, but the sound of voices from the second and third floors proved otherwise.

Adam pulled out his room key as they turned into the hallway. Once they got to the door, he inserted it into the slot and a light above it turned green.

He turned the knob, and pushed the door open.

He saw what he wasn't expecting or hoping to see.

Allison was gone.
