Getting a Leg Up

[consider8]

Who: Agent 8 and Della Duck -- with possibly Senku and Devero
Where: Outside Cabin 7-C & Large Room on the Quiet Coach
When: Imagination 17
What: Della gets a foot to stand on & story time!
Warnings: prosthesis; emergency amputation?; sads?



Outside of Cabin 7-C is a single note that seems to has been pasted on the door on the far side of 7-C's door. It simply reads:

Della,
It's finished.
Come to where you left it.

At the back of the quiet room, Eight was busy putting the final touches on Della's prosthesis. Knowing that she wouldn't have the time to work on it the day of the big meeting, she put in more than a little extra work to get it operational. She would have given up, too, were it not for the timely intervention of Senku and Devero.

With a warm smile she set the leg back on the table and put her blanket over to cover it. There was just one final thing that she needed to do. Picking up a paper bag with a pair of holes cut in it, she hastily popped it open and placed it over her head.

Perfect. This plan was foolproof.

Comments

sorry for the delay -- lot's of stuff happened; it's fine if you want to end it here!

On one hand, the fact that someone was able to come up with a gum that could be use for general respiration was amazing regardless of its flavor... on the other, Eight could feel the contempt radiating from Della.

So um... change in subject.

"So, mm... what did you do while you were on the moon? Ten years is an awful long time..."
