Fandom Clinic, Tuesday

Will opened the door to the clinic, tried to step inside, and- couldn't. It was like there was an invisible wall preventing him from getting any further.

"What the hell's going on?" he demanded.

One of the nurses pointed to Stabby's tank, where the crab had an apple stuck to one claw.

"An apple a day," said one of the nurses.

"Keeps the doctor away," finished another.

"Very funny," Will rolled his eyes. "I should've known this place would take something like that literally. Can you get rid of the apple, please? I do have an actual patient to check in on."

"Have you ever tried taking an apple away from a crab?" one of the nurses scoffed.

"... No."

"Yeah, exactly. No can do."

So apparently Will was going to be spending his shift just outside the clinic, hoping no actual emergencies came up with their patient or anyone new.

Currently manned by a crab with an apple stuck to a claw.

Arthur was looking a bit peaky already by the time he made it to the front desk, propelled by his good leg, grasps on anything he could reach, and sheer bloody-mindedness.

"Where's the doctor?"

"The door is straight ahead of you, but there's nothing to hold onto between here and there," John answered as Arthur sagged against the front desk and tried to ignore the angry nurse shooing him back to bed.

Please don't have an emergency when the doctor is stuck outside the clinic.

Was Arthur having an emergency? No. But Arthur desperately wanted to get out of the clinic already, and Stark had said the doctor was the only one that could release him. So when one of the nurses told him the doctor was stuck outside the door by a crab with an apple...

He had no idea what to make of it, honestly. He was picturing some huge, eldritch crab with a bizarre, apple-shaped weapon. It wouldn't be the strangest thing he'd encountered.

So here was a scruffy-looking, still too-skinny man with one entire leg in a cast, gripping every bit of furniture on the way as he struggled out of the room.
