"C'mooooon, tell me. Tell me, tell me! Don't you know lying to a doctor is punishable by death?" Vicrenzia asks.
"What!?" Cael yelps.
"Well, I mean, if I mis-diagnose you, you could die. And that'd look really bad on my record, y'know? Soooo..."
"...I guess stuff started after I went to a party..." Cael admits.
"Oh, a party! I love parties! What kind? Birthday party? Surprise party? Dinner party? Garden party? Cocktail party? Tea Party? Costume party? Block party? Dance party? Graduation party? Wedding reception? Baby shower? Bachelor party? Housewarming party? Farewell party? Wrap party?"
Cael clutches his head. "THE D- The... drug... kind of party."
"Hmmmmm? I've got no idea what you're talking about, and I'm basically an expert on parties. It was like my college minor."
"You can't... tell this stuff to the cops, right?"
"Only in reeeaaaally specific circumstances. I'd be much less worried about that and much more worried about the dying thing if I were you. Wait! You didn't kill a guy, right? No? OK, hit me."
"Well... everyone brings what they can get their hands on, and you just kinda... pass stuff around..."
"Huh. That's a really, really, really, really bad idea, 'K? Don't do that anymore."
"Do you... Do you think that's why I'm sick?"
"Maaaaaybe. What'd you take?"
"I don't... I don't know. A... A bunch of different stuff..."
Vicrenzia puts her hands on her hips. "Hm. That's bad."
(A) Blood for the blood test!
(B) I'm gonna get a cup for you to pee in.
(C) So... have you taken anything since then?
(D) What's your favorite type of drug, though?
(E) Are you taking any actual medicine?
(F) I'm ready to make my diagnosis!

Let's take a blood test first, any kind of drug that shows up in the bloodstream's got to be something serious.

"OK, we're gonna do some blood tests!" Vicrenzia tells him.
"Blood tests...?" Cael seems nervous.
"Yep!"
"I'm... er... I don't know much about blood, I don't..."
"Oh! OK, you haven't had one before, have you? OK! Well, it's one of those thingies that the 'modern' humans came up with. It's real simple. Well, not really. But your role's real easy! You just have to hold still and not freak out while we stab you with a thingy and steal some blood, then we give it to some huge nerds and in a while they tell us stuff!"
"So it's... like a blood augury?" Cael asks.
"Yep! And they do that, too. But some of the parts are way more advanced. They can even tell when you last ate 'n' stuff like that!"
"Wow, that's... k-k-kinda cool..." Cale mutters. "But I don't know how I feel about people stealing my blood."
"Oh, don't worry. We only steal a little. I mean. Actually, it's pretty awful for, like, me? Since I weigh all of 40 pounds. I have to be really careful how much they take. But a big ol' halfling like you doesn't need to worry. Unless you've been bleeding a lot lately?" Vicrenzia gives him the eyes.
"I... no. I got hurt at work the other day, but I don't think it was anything serious." He points to a bruise on his stomach.
"Hmmmm. Internal bleeding's still bleeding. But this shouldn't be too significant. We'll ask the techs to double-check, though."
"...Alright, I... trust you..." Cael doesn't sound convinced, at all.
And he screams like a baby when they draw the blood. The other patients freak out a bit when they call in an orc to hold him down. But they get the blood in the end.
"There, that wasn't so bad!" Vicrenzia says. "We'll have the test results pre-e-e-e-etty soon."
"......" Cael seems traumatized.
"So, now we wait. In the meantime...
(A) I'm gonna get a cup for you to pee in.
(B) What all have you taken anything since then?
(C) What's your favorite type of drug?
(D) Are you taking any actual medicine?
(E) I'm ready to make my diagnosis!
(F) What kinda work do you do?
(G) How was the party? Fun?

"Alright, now that I've got your blood, I'm gonna need something else, too!"
"Oh, gods, no. What else are you planning to take from me, tiny demon?"
"Urine! Hold on, I'll get a cup for you to pee in."
"!?!?!?" Cael can only stare in stunned confusion until Vicrenzia returns.
She slams a plastic thing next to her patient. "Bathroom's three doors to the right. Should be pretty clean since it's so new, but wash up afterward. I just need you to fill it up to the line sooooo go get 'em!"
Cael stares at her. "...Why, foul beast?"
"pH testing, mostly. Annnnd sugar content. Also certain drugs will show up, so we might be able to piece together what you took."
"That was... 2 weeks ago, monster."
"Yep! Some stuff lasts a re-e-e-e-eally long time. Like a month. We'll hope we get lucky. Peeing's not so inconvenient, right?"
"I guess..."
"Hey, by the way. What am I?"
"...A... pixie?"
"Are you guessing or do you know?"
"...I'm pretty sure..."
"So the demon stuff before was a joke, right?"
"...Demon stuff......?"
"Go pee!" Vicrenzia gives him a push. She stops to double-check her notes while he's gone. "Hallucinations and forgetfulness... Could be a drug side-effect, bu-u-u-ut it could also be because of lack of sleep. Probably. Blood results should be back... soon. The urine sample will take a while."
Cael comes back, and Vicrenzia directs him to place his sample on the counter.
"...So...?" he asks. "You're taking a lot of stuff from me..."
"Oh, that's it. We'll just talk from here. Probably. Sometimes we do stool samples, but at present I don't see any reason for it."
"Oh... OK. I don't... want to do that."
"Well, if you can't give us any, we go in there and get it!"
Cael looks horrified to find out what's next.
(A) Stoooool saaaaaample!
(B) What all have you taken anything since then?
(C) What's your favorite type of drug?
(D) Are you taking any actual medicine?
(E) I'm ready to make my diagnosis!
(F) What kinda work do you do?
(G) How was the party? Fun?
(H) Have you been hallucinating much lately?
(I) (quietly wait for the test results)
(J) Screw the results, I'm ready to make my diagnosis!

"Have you taken anything since then?" Vicrenzia demands.
Cael looks away. "Um... Some headache medicine, a few healing potions... Nothing... illegal."
Vicrenzia stares at him. "Re-e-e-eally?"
"R-really..."
"Really-really?"
"Really!"
"Ya pro-o-o-omise?"
"I promise."
"Cross your heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye?" Vicrenzia sings.
"Y-you're going to do what!?" Cael covers his face.
"Huh? No, it's just an awful human-child song. They love singing awful things!"
That tiefling nurse calls Vicrenzia out of the room. She's followed Vicrenzia's example and cut a tail-hole in her pants. She seems much, much happier. She tells Vicrenzia the lab report from the blood test comes in.
Vicrenzia looks through the report. "Hm, hm, hm. Let's seeeeee. His white count's kinda low. Could be explained by lack of sleep. Ummmmm. High cholesterol. Needs to eat better. Annnnnd trace amounts of... tranquilizers! Hm. If he took a bunch, then stopped taking a bunch, it would explain the lack of sleep, sweating, and high heart rate. Even the craz- psychological symptoms! But. But. But he'd need to take a lot of them over a long time and then stop..."
(A) Confront Cael accusingly
(B) Confront Cael indirectly
(C) Confront Cael kindly
(D) Confront Cael with security
(E) Wait for the urine tests
(F) Stoooool saaaaaample!
(G) Ask what kinda work he does
(H) Ask what kind of hallucinations he's been having
(I) I'm ready to make my diagnosis!
