Akihiro tale

The truth behind SCP-049: Plague Doctor

Characters:

Explorer [DATA EXPUNGED], historian Kilikh, and archaeologist Jones.

Explorer: I think we’re getting extremely close.

Historian: How can you tell?

Explorer: Its giving me an odd sensation.

Archaeologist: Sensation?

Explorer: Yes. I feel like we’re not going to have an easy time taking the gem once we’ve seen it.

Historian: That’s freaky. Can you do that a lot?

Explorer: It happens a lot when I’m searching for something like this.

Archaeologist: Well for tonight, this is an extremely good spot.

Explorer: Ok. Let’s set up our tents, and get a fire going. I’m starving.

Historian: Good idea.

Archaeologist: Who got dinner?

Historian: Why?

Archaeologist: Then I know who to ask what’s for dinner.

Historian rolls his eyes

Historian: You’ve always been good at being hungry.

Archaeologist: Well I need to stay strong, and I can’t do that without food. But somehow you two can.

Explorer laughs

Explorer: It’s a crocodile I got when we were crossing the lake.

Archaeologist: Wow! Biggest meal yet!

Explorer: Oh no, just for us two. There wouldn’t be enough. You can have a few insects from the ground.

Archaeologist: Ha ha… what's really for lunch?

Explorer: I don’t know! He has it!

Archaeologist: well that was a BIG waste of 5 minutes of my life.

Explorer: Don’t blame me!

Historian: Chicken.

Archaeologist: Well, that's a big jump from crocodile, but I guess it's ok.

Historian: I'm happy for you to go out and get some food yourself!

Archaeologist: I don't DO getting food.

Historian: What's that supposed to mean?

Archaeologist: It means I don't like getting my hands dirty. That's pat of the reason we brought an explorer with us. That's practically their job!

Explorer: NO IT ISN'T!

Archaeologist: YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO HEAR THAT FROM IN THE TENT! Jeez!

Historian: Well I'm going to cook dinner, and then we will go to bed. I'm tired!

Explorer: I'm not!

Historian: I know. You never are.

Archaeologist: Ok, then let's cook the food then.

Historian: Fine.

It's a new day… An unexpected adventure is coming their way.

Historian: Mornin'

Archaeologist: Urp…

Historian: I knew you shouldn't have eaten so fast.

Archaeologist: Urp…

Explorer: I see you ate too much last night.

Archaeologist: Urp…

Historian: You do realise this means we have to wait another hour for you to feel better?

Archaeologist: Urp…

Explorer: Don't worry, I can understand "I ate too much chicken" language.

Archaeologist: Urp!

Explorer: "Be quiet!"

Archaeologist: Urp…

Explorer: "Wow you really can understand this."

Archaeologist: Urp…

Explorer: "Now you just wait here, and I'll be back full and healthy!"

Historian: Uuuuh… Did you make some of that up?

Explorer: No.

Historian: Ok… ANYway, I want to know how you know when we are close.

Explorer: I think I just do it from practice. This is by far the most interesting quest I've been on, so I'm not too sure if my hunches are true, but most quests are the same layout. They sort of follow a pattern, that they're forced to use.

Historian: Wow, a quest… I've never been on a quest, just a pursuance of something. You explorers have more fun doing things, just by changing the name.

Explorer: We sort of do the same job, but historians are more… stiff.

Archaeologist: Hello, you two!

Historian: Hello…?

Archaeologist: Guys, come here. I need to tell you something.

Historian: Ok…

Archaeologist (whispers): There's a person lying out cold in the woods. He seems like a doctor!

Historian: A doctor! Perfect! Exactly what we need!

Explorer: Are we allowed to do this?

Historian: Do what?

Explorer: Find a man out cold, in the woods, not call an ambulance, and keep him as one of our slaves.

Historian: Nope. But we're keeping you as a slave, so whatever.

Explorer: Hey you wha-

Historian: Come on. I thought you were the exotic one. Your name is almost exotic.

Explorer: Fine.

Who is this mysterious person? Is it stupid to take them in and keep them as a doctor?
