In which the newest member of FicPsych gets her first client, and he hasn’t heard of Bleeprin yet. “You know what? I think we agree that this is stupid.” Jenni dropped the clipboard onto the coffee table, where it landed with a clap and a flutter of disturbed pages. “Forget the forms. I don’t need a bunch of paper to tell me you’re wound tighter than a corkscrew. How can I help? Tell me what you think I need to know.” Supernumerary seemed taken aback by the noise and the sudden loss of procedure. He sat gaping a few moments, his fingers stilled, before pulling himself together again. He adjusted his glasses, gave a sniff, and resettled himself. “Well. The fact of the matter is . . . ” The tapping started up again. Jenni looked for a pattern—one, six, one, eight, long pause, three, three—but it still seemed random, and she gave up. “Go on.” “I’ve been forgetting things,” he said in a strangled voice.

I figured they just changed their minds, but . . . Am I going to like the story you’re about to tell me about why Ilraen’s not here and why you slept in your clothes and why there’s a very handsome blanket hanging from your bed?” “MY blanket!” Luxury popped up from under it and hugged Flanor to her bosom, hissing like a lynx, but when she saw Jenni she relented. “Oh! It’s you!” She let the blanket go and instead flung herself at the nurse. “Good moooorning, you!” Jenni laughed and hugged her back far too fondly, ending with a kiss. “Hi, Lux! What are you—” She stopped short, blinked, and looked around again. “Wait, what are you doing here? I mean, what are you doing here?” “It’s a long story,” said Nume, glaring at his coffee.

In which an Andalite recruit gets a culture implant. The doctor spoke. “Well, my lad, it comes down to this: your morphogenic field is still fluctuating somewhat, but thanks to Nurse Robinson’s ministrations, you’re stable enough to have a personality.

In which Ilraen-Aroline-Fothergill meets Farilan-Haothil-Esthine. She—she was a she. ... Ilraen felt the blood rushing to his limbs, his brain, his face.

After a minute or so, the sounds of fighting stopped and there came a very polite knock at the door. Again, the nurses exchanged doubtful looks. “Do assassins knock?” Elms wondered. “Not usually,” said Nathonea. “For all we know, this might be a stray Black Cat.” The knock came again. “Don’t be paranoid,” said Elms. “Let’s see who it is.” And, being closest to the door, she unbarred it, unlocked it, and opened it as far as the latch would allow. “Hello?” “Hello. Is this the Department of Fictional Psychology?” “I think the sign on the door says so, so we must be. Can you wait a second? Thanks.” Elms closed the door and looked at her comrades. “Do we know a scary-looking man with half a face, a large sledgehammer, and a weird accent?”

In which Ilraen-Aroline-Fothergill meets Orken 7861. “Andalite. Agent Ilraen. We are going to be here for the next hour or so, and I have some things I wish to tell you, if you are so inclined.” Ilraen cast a harried glance at the other agent.
