"I guess a check up won't hurt."
"Oh, that's great," Momo replies, still grinning, "Linda really needs the practice."
"Practice?"
Maybe this wasn't such a great idea after all.
"Yes," Momo explains, pressing the flat side of her scalpel against her cheek, "There's been a bad case of the flu going around and Linda needs practice inoculating patients."
A flash of something metallic catches your eye before something sharp jabs you in the arm.
"Ow!" you cry, rubbing your wounded arm, "What was that for?"
"That'll keep you from getting the flu," Momo explains blandly.
"Oh, I see... Am I supposed to be dizzy?"
"Well, the effects of inoculations do vary," Momo replies, smiling wanly, "Don't worry about it."
"..."
"Oops," Linda exclaims, eyes wide, "I think I used the wrong bottle."
Momo sighs. "That's how you lost the last four patients."
"Lost the last four patients...?"
As if on cue, darkness slowly but surely blankets your vision of the floor that rushes up to meet you. When you come to, you find yourself in a bright place, a very bright place.
"Oh, my head," you moan, rubbing your eyes.
You try to stand up but there's something heavy on your back. You strain to see behind you to see what's weighing you down.
"What the!?"
You have wings... You have wings! White wings! White, feathery wings!
Confused, you look around. Wherever you are, it's a pretty empty place with the exception of a huge line of people that stretches farther than you can see. Several NPCs you recognize from the Valeria Chateau but don't know the names of are walking towards you. You realize they all have wings too.
"You let Linda give you a shot too, eh?" one of the NPCs asks.
You nod, unsure of what's happening.
"Well, the line to get into heaven starts over there," another NPC states, pointing to the horizon, "Remember, no cutting."
If it's not obvious, you're dead.
