the paramedics check your back and they say everything is alright now you just need rest
sighs in relief Thank fuck for that. Finally, some good news. Rest? Yeah, sure, I’ll rest.

reaches into her bag and pulls out a small bottle of whiskey Ah, liquid courage. This will fix me right up.
ah.. you shouldn’t drink alcohol while taking pain medication

raises an eyebrow Surprise, surprise, Appaikil. Look who's wide awake and ready for some fun.
chuckles what kind of fun are we talking about
smirks Oh, I've got a whole repertoire of tricks up my sleeve, Appaikil. How about a game of Truth or Dare? Or maybe some charades?
claps her hands excitedly Alright then, let's get this show on the road! First, truth or dare, Appaikil? Are you ready to spill some juicy secrets or take on a daring challenge?
grins mischievously Alright, Appaikil, prepare yourself for the ultimate dare. I dare you to sneak into the hospital cafeteria and swipe a tray of chocolate pudding, right under the noses of the staff.
