Dr. Crimson Rose

The door opens to reveal Daniel Carter, the Grand Wizards of the Wizards Guild. 6'2". African-American. Dreaded back ponytail. Somewhat muscular figure. He's from 1970's Detroit. Wearing casual wear of; shirt with open dress shirt; jeans; sneakers; and a cap with his ponytail hanging through the hole.

Crimson comments about Daniel look. 'Hello, tall, dark and sexy.' She lustfully grins.

Mary goes for the smack but it went through Crimson's head.

'Idiot! Do you want us to go through a sexual harassment lawsuit?!'

Becky turns to face Mary. 'I can be sued for that comment, even as a doctor?'

'And don't look at us to reply! Just use your thoughts!'

'I'll be surprised if she does use her thoughts.'

Daniel chuckles. 'It's alright doc. I won't sue for the comment. I do get that a lot though. Name's Daniel Carter.' He smiles at Crimson who's falling for him. He offers a handshake which Scarlet accepts. 'First off, sorry that your Mentor had been killed by Allison Mathews, you have my condolences.'

'I'm pretty sure she'll be fine in Hell. I heard they might have a special hotel for her down there.' Crimson cracks a joke which both she and Daniel start laughing at.

Belle looks at Mary, wondering if she's reacting to it while Mary shrugs it off.

'She isn't wrong. I will be going down there. They say all lawyers are going to hell, so do doctors who break their oaths.'

'But we got our eyes on Mathews, just in case you want her dead, since you're her last Apprentice.' Daniel speaks as he sits down at the client chair while Crimson is sitting on the table as a cheerful schoolgirl.

Mary is shouting at Crimson's ear.

'Get your ass off of that table, now! Be a professional nurse here and sit on the main chair!'

Picking her ear after being shouted at, Crimson sat at the chair instead.

'It'll be alright. I'm not a vengeful type, and besides, I'm only here to make a buck, but also be the world's friendliest doctor.' Crimson smiles.

'Alright, that's cool.' Daniel smiles then grabs his phone to text to scrap any plans for Allison Mathews' assassination. 'So Doc, what is your name? The Ms. Black didn't give out a name in front.'

'Crimson Rose, Mr. Carter.'

'Just call me Danny.' Smiles at her which made Crimson blushed.

Both Mary and Belle aren't impressed.

'So, um, what are you here for? I only got these files here for you.' Crimson passed the files to Daniel.

'She already forgot?'

Mary looks disappointed when Crimson gives out an awkward realisation.

'Right! Your Trans Witch Project, if I'm correct.'

Awkward chuckle.

'Right Dr. Rose. I was hoping to have a chat with Dr. Moone about it, but I guess you will do.'

'Thank you.'

Daniel is looking over the files while Crimson is watching him reading it. His eyes are skimming through the words and the file with conflicted expressions.

Mary leans down to Crimson.

'You'll have to repeat after me when it comes to the medical and the science behind it.'

Crimson then turns to her and nods, which Mary smacks her but goes through her head.

'So Dr. Rose, there's a temporary effect on the Trans Witches to be actual Witches?'

Crimson nods at no one then starts talking to Daniel.

'Sadly, no. I'm afraid that no matter how many…' Crimson' seems uncomfortable from the next set of lines. 'Experiments Dr. Moone went through. No matter how many live subjects, they can't handle the process of the blood. It's like the Witch's blood is rejecting the host's blood, thus killing the host. And due to them being biologically male, meaning they had painful deaths.'

Daniel seems disappointed by the results. 'Oh, I understand Dr. Rose.'

'Yes, I'm sorry too.' Crimson heads bob up. 'But there is actual good news about Artificial Witches. I don't know if this will work for Transwomen, but we can start operations after the Coven Meeting from Tokyo.'

'Really, Dr. Rose? Does it have to be after Tokyo?'

Crimson had her eyes shut as she nodded but not to Daniel's question. 'Because I need live subjects. You can't make a Witch by being dead, I need live experiments, and due to your Witch's Vow with Asuna, there will be deaths and you have to track back for them. So after Tokyo, we can start working on it immediately.'

Crimson then mutters to herself. 'But does that mean…?'

'Mean what Dr. Rose?'

'Oh yeah! But we will need Magical Girls or Vigilantes. Alive. We might need to do a full body blood bath transfusion. Dr. Moone had tried this at Oztown with some blue rose princess and an idiot wolf girl.'

Crimson snaps at Mary at her side. 'Hey!'

Daniel is observing her reaction. 'Do you have some problems, Dr. Rose? Because you seem to be unsure about the situation, and not to mention acting odd.'

Crimson turns to him. 'Sorry.' Crimson is shifting her eyes to find an answer. 'She's an old friend of mine, the Vigilante in question.'

Daniel accepts. 'Ah! I see. I have a friend who's also a Magical Girl too. We go out having drinks here and there, whenever she's free.' Smiles.

'Really?!' Crimson stood up while smiling at him. 'I thought it was taboo to be friends with Magical Girls and Vigilantes?'

'No, it's not a law. But it's a dangerous friendship though.' Daniel awkwardly answered as Crimson was getting closer. 'Actually, I have a question for you; are you a member of the Magical Love Guild?'

Mary is offended.

'Ew! Hell no!'

Crimson is confused. 'Magical Love Guild?' Then she remembers them after nearly been assaulted and raped by Familiars of their Guild. She gave out a disgusted expression as she sat back onto her chair. 'Actually, I had a rough time with them. Nearly got raped by them.'

'Ah! I had a few members of my Guild be forced to be "movie stars" when they cornered a Magical Vigilante.'

Crimson then realised the situation and was curious about a certain person she knows from New York. 'Was it Allison Mathews? Since she had been raped by them, if I'm correct.'

'No. That was her personal production crew. That freak Valentino wanted to do something "special" for Pride Month. But I rejected her offer.'

'So why do you think I'm a member of her Guild?'

'You show the same love for Magical Girls.'

'Would you be surprised if I was from this time period?'

'Not really, then that would explain your love for Magical Girls.'

'Cool.' Crimson smiles happily. 'So as for the Project…' Turn to see Mary is trying to choke her but couldn't while Belle is trying to pull her away.

Mary then dust herself off.

'Alright, you hairy bastard. Just say this…'

Crimson nods as she looks back at Daniel. 'As for the blood, we might need virgins from both sides, and lucky for me, I have three Witches that will happily donate their blood. But Vigilantes might be tricky at first, but thanks to their coloring system, we know who might strike. And they're all being assembled in Tokyo.'

Daniel leans back to think. 'And what makes them different from the other subjects?'

Crimson continued to nod then grossed out from what Mary had to say, but said it and tried to act like a professional. 'Well, Dr. Moone had tried different diseases and multiple kinds from different ages. From toddlers to the dying elderly.' She looks at him, who has a concerned expression.

'Does Moone have to conduct all those experiments?'

Crimson sign. 'Sadly, yes. But to Dr. Moone, which feels like she's living in my head…'

'Watch it, Wolfe.'

'I can hear her lectures all over again. And those experiments fail as expected.'

'Eh?' Daniel is confused. 'Why expect failure rather than doing all of those unnecessary experiments?'

'To scratch out any possible causes. And even the healthiest of bloods can't seem to mix well with Witch's Blood. And the reason behind such unnecessary experiments is that doctors do tend to over simplify the cause then have to go beyond to the edge of line which nearly breaks their oaths in order to save their patients. Sometimes it can be vice versa from the over complications to something down to simplification. So Dr. Moone had to break oaths in order for your crazy ass plan to come true.'

'So did all of the experiments die?'

'Yes. But we have another problem, it's that blood type is also going to be a problem. Blood type alone is not much of a problem, but it's the Magical Girls side I don't actually record on.'

'Oh!' Crimson is speaking in her mind. 'I can tell Danny here about how I went through my process.'

'Really?'

'Yeah, this one should be easy to explain for us.'

'Knock yourself out then.'

Crimson then starts speaking about the screenings. 'Magical Girls' have actual medical reports where the Blue Magical Girl can do it personally, but that's normally in the cities and they don't tend to send them to towns like my hometown, Oztown. Mostly they look through banking records and transactions. To city Vigilantes that want to be Magical Girls, they have to go through the MGGA building for it, and keep it classified. But to small town Vigilantes, they don't actually go through the process. So their medical histories should be in the main buildings, or public knowledge if hacked.'

Mary seems irritated.

'Don't remind me that hospitals don't change their system, no matter how many times I wanted them to do so. Anyways, back to the Trans Witches explanation.'

'That won't be a problem to go through the small town places to get their blood, but here's another problem. Virgin blood. Both parties had to be virgins, or at least that's how her first subject turned out. She became an Artificial Witch, but it might still need more testing.'

'Testing? If it works, then surely my Trans Witch project can work out.'

'Eh, I hate when people say that. Alright, Wolfe. Say this,'

'Just because it's a success, doesn't mean it has its flaws. For this Artificial Witch, it needs to be tested out on longevity and endurance. They seem to be tired out when they don't have Wands like us. So there's that. Trans Witches is still a long process unfortunately.'

Daniel seems to be annoyed at that, hoping for good results. He got another idea. 'Can we weaponize the Artificial Witch Blood? Since you need test subjects, and if Magical Girls or Vigilantes can workout, that can remove any suspicions off our backs for a while.'

'That's a dangerous process, and even more dangerous in every area, but…'

'I don't recommend it.' Crimson talk sternly which caught Daniel and Mary off guard. 'Because these Magical Girls are trying to live normally like us, but giving them the blood, that's…' She placed her head into her hand. 'Cruel. Because I remember the situation where this Witch fought Glinda.'

'Glinda? You mean the Northern Good Witch?'

'That's the one, my Guild Leader. Mary didn't see what happened since she died, but she was put into a Cauldron. She came out after the Nazis invaded Oztown. She had managed to save Glinda, but couldn't handle the voices.'

'Voices?'

'Correct. She took her own life after one week of not handling the voices. So there's that, but that's the result of killing the Vigilante girl.'

'So what I'm getting at is that you want to test them out, alive? As in Vigilantes?'

'Yeah. Or at least keep them alive. All we need is their blood right? Because I had my own theory, what would happen if a mixture of both Witch and Magical Girl were mixed into one then injected into your Trans Witch project?'

Mary seems impressed as she's thinking of the processing.

'That's not a bad idea, Wolfe. Technically, it's a new area for us to work with. And perhaps it can hold some key components but it's a risk. And lucky for us, we're the only live specimens that can provide as such.'

'But, there's a problem with that theory. Becky and I were Vigilantes.'

'True, but lucky for us. We got some blood from Gardner back home. So we can start trials.'

'So we gotta find a virgin Vigilante, take her blood, right?'

'That's correct.'

'But where are we gonna start looking? There's thousands of Vigilantes that didn't make the Top 300 in the American Billboard, and those 300 are off limits.'

Both Mary and Belle were curious about what he said, Becky asked too.

'Off limits?'

'Asuna. The Plague Witch of Peace. It's part of a deal for those damn raids on us. Hell, I would have loved to raid on those Magical assholes in Tokyo, but we can't. I would have done it anyway. And lucky for me, Wolfgang was the only one that got raided down first. But I don't want to pay an expensive finder's fee.' Daniel is sitting back, annoyed.

Crimson then got an idea pop into her head. 'I think I know where we can get that kind of information without paying the fee to start looking!'

All three of them are confused and baffled with Crimson's choice of wording.

'Really?'

'Yes! I need to go back home for a bit, to grab them.'

Crimson cuts her palm and says the password to open up a portal, but to Daniel, all he sees is the blood absorbing the blood and nothing much.

Mary stops Crimson.

'Do you really know?'

Crimson smiles at her, which Mary signs.

'Alright, just grab my Wand right here, and say; Lock. At those cabinets. I had patients stealing information before.'

Crimson grab one of many Wands on the wall, then point at the cabinet.

'Lock'

Several loud clicking sounds.

'Alright, I'll be right back handsome!'

'Again! I don't want us to go through sexual harassment lawsuit!'

To Daniel, he sees Crimson leaping into the mirror. Looks around then looking through the files he had been presented. 'She's a cute quirky girl. Could use a different wig though.'

'Are you sure that we have information, Becky?'

'Lying to a Salem Witch would be the end of us. Even before the Salem Witches system was formed, crossing a Witch is too dangerous.'

'I know what we need. And we weren't gonna use it anyways, but Jaxson is the one who said we should keep it. Plus, talking like you was really stressful. I can even pronounced half the fancy medical words before Belle here had to dumb it down for me.'

Crimson runs back into the living room, and then looks behind the bookshelf to find a small safe that has a box with the words in Italian; Potential Victims.

Both Belle and Mary are looking disgusted by it.

'Valentino's box? Why do we need that?!'

'I wasn't there or manifested by then, but even I know who they are.'

'I manifested during that fight.'

Crimson opens up the box to see multiple files. 'Now we have multiple options!' Happily presented the files to them as both Belle and Mary have files but can't read anything since Crimson didn't have a good look at them.

'Wolfe, read the contents of the files so we can have the context of it!'

'Oh! Right, sorry.' Crimson then start looking over at multiple files as she's walking back to Dr. Moone's office with the box.

'So Becky, are we really gonna do through with this project? Even back then when I was dying in my cancer bed, I was technically an Artificial Witch to some degree when Cassandra Black was feeding me.'

'Wait, what? You mean Sandra was keeping you alive?'

'Yeah, she was my supposed to be Mentor before Vigilantes kill her. She's been giving me food with Virgin Blood in it.'

Mary then starts to wonder as Crimson makes her way back into her office.

Crimson placed the box in front of Daniel. 'Let's talk more about your Trans Witch Project!'
