Scenario:Albert and Deliford - Jolts, Sores, and Groans

Jolts, Sores, and Groans

The crew finds Deliford sore from head to toe and calls Albert in to try some relieving electrotherapy. Midsession, Vyrn says something that upsets Albert, who then gives Deliford a real shock.

---

The crew gathers to depart on a new mission one day but finds that Deliford is nowhere in sight.

Concerned, they head to his room, where they find him in pain from head to toe.

Deliford: My muscles ache... Ouch, ouch!

Lyria: Are you okay, Deliford? You're pale, and you're sweating all over...

Deliford: Ack... Ah. Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry to make you worry, Lyria.

Vyrn: What's your plan here, gramps? It's time to head out on our mission.

Deliford: Hmm. Is that so... Well then, I guess I'll just have to get up and—Ow!

Rackam: Oy, Deliford! Don't strain yourself.

Deliford: But I could never forgive myself if you had to turn down that mission because of me...

Rackam: Well, I did hear about this electrotherapy that's supposed to relieve muscle pain.

Vyrn: Huh. How 'bout that. I'll bet we could try that out right now!

Albert: Hmm? What's going on here, (Captain)? It's just about time to go, isn't it?

Rackam: Hey, nice timing, Albert! Help us out here, would ya?

Albert: Ugh... What is it this time? You better tell me what's goin' on!

Rackam explains the situation with Deliford and how electrotherapy might be able to help.

Albert: Gimme a break. How did he strain himself that bad? Unbelievable...

Rackam: Come on, don't talk like that! All we can do now is help him!

Albert: Jeez. And what do you want me to do, exactly?

Rackam: Well, from what I've heard, you should be able to stimulate his muscles by sending a small current through his body.

Albert: Humph. Fine.

Deliford: Hey, wait a second! You can't just make this up as you go along! We'd better look into it more first.

Rackam: Oy, quit your blabberin'. I thought you were sore.

Deliford: Well, I am, but...

Albert: Don't worry. It won't hurt a bit. Just relax.

Deliford: ...!
Aaah! The juice is loosening my muscles!

Deliford: Ah, ack! It does... feel like... it's working!

Deliford: Ack! Hey, Albert. Could you maybe turn it up a little?

Albert: Humph. Just tell me if it hurts.

Deliford: Ah! Ah, ack! That's... That's...

Albert: Humph. Too much for ya?

Deliford: No, that's just right. Ack! Oh...

Vyrn: Wow! It looks like it's really working! Hard to believe Albert's fixing up that geezer with electricity...

Vyrn: Haha! You'd never have imagined you'd grow up to be Old Man Sparks!

Albert: Don't call me an old man!

Deliford: ...?
...!

Rackam: Albert! What are you doin'!

Albert: Huh? Oh, sorry. I guess when I got mad I increased the power... Are you all right, Deliford?

Deliford: ...

Rackam: Hey, he's not dead, is he?

Albert: The voltage wasn't that high... At least I think not.

Rackam: Oy, oy, are you okay?

Albert: Ugh. You know, Vyrn is as much to blame as I am!

Vyrn: What! I didn't even do anything!

Albert: Yeah, right! If you wouldn't have called me an old man, then this never would have happened!

Deliford: ...!
I... I feel...

Rackam: Hey, Deliford, are you feelin' all right?

Deliford: Hmm. I feel kinda numb, but other than that I'm fine.

Albert: I'm really sorry, Deliford.

Deliford: It's fine, Albert. It was just because of what Vyrn said.

Deliford: I don't blame you.

Albert: I appreciate that, Deliford...

Lyria: Umm, well, I guess everything's okay now.

Rackam: Ah... Yeah, I guess so.

Deliford: About that... Why do people call you an old man?

Deliford: What could be the reason? You don't look the part...

Albert: Hmm. You don't think so either huh. To be honest I'm not sure why anyone does!

Vyrn: Your conversations are always too serious! That's why they call you an old man!

Albert: Hey! I said cut it out!

Deliford: Aaah!

Albert: Ah! Sorry. Looks like I did it again...

Deliford: Ack. That lightning worked like a charm, Albert.

Albert: But, Deliford, I...

Deliford: ...

Albert: Hey! Wake up, Deliford!

Lyria: Oh no! We have to help him!

Rackam: Crud... Deliford's completely fried now.

Vyrn: Oops... My bad, gramps.

Rackam: Great... Looks like we're gonna have to turn down that mission.

The next day Deliford wakes up and his soreness has completely gone away. He now feels better than ever.

Albert's electrotherapy becomes popular among the crew. They all start to think maybe they'd like to give it a try someday.
