As soon as Brain Drain stood up and looked at her, Sakura shot straight up, her hands at her sides. Her eyes flitted from corner to corner of the room, taking in all the sights as he asked his question. She winced a little at the pressure. [color=f49ac2]”U-um, hi.”[/color] She waved with an awkward grimace. Then she kept her hands up, though her elbows were at her side. [color=f49ac2]”Don’t pry me- sorry, I was- I didn’t mean to-”[/color] Flustered, she shook her head and gathered a little composure. [color=f49ac2]”My name’s Sakura and I’m here looking for my friend, Peach? Princess Peach? She g-got turned into a giant monster and kinda got whisked away, and we heard- me and my other friends- we heard she got taken here? And I didn’t think to look for a phone number to try and set up an appointment or anything. I mean this place is [i]really[/i] scary, even for a hospital.”[/color] Sakura said, turning her raised hands into an apologetic shrug. [color=f49ac2]”I guess we just wanted to know if she was okay? Or if she will be okay? Sorry, I guess I just kind of assumed this was an evil hospital but, you know, you’re asking who I am and stuff which is a pretty reasonable response to um, a trespasser.”[/color] She lowered her hands and grabbed her elbow behind her back. [color=f49ac2]”But that is just…that is just [i]so many[/i] brains. I guess they all got donated to science?”[/color] Sakura tapped her forefingers together and grinned at Brain Drain, a bead of sweat going down the side of her face. Maybe a little worried she might be talking to a mad scientist. But he hadn’t done anything mean to her and, well, she was a trespasser. A mad scientist would probably say something like ‘Gimme your brain!’ [color=f49ac2]”That’s it in a nutshell, I guess. Could you please tell me where Peach is?”[/color] She asked finally, clearing her throat.
