Transcript

[Level start]

[Lucky]	Uh. Who are you supposed to be?
[Miner]	Howdy!
[Miner]	Sorry, am I in your way? I thought this was, like, the fitness room.
[Miner]	I had a bit of a scare the other day, with some chest pain.
[Miner]	So, I've been trying to be a little more cautious about my health.
[Miner]	An old buddy of mine used to tell me, "You've only got one body! You better treat it right!"
[Miner]	I should've listened. And after getting a lil' spooked on that train ride, I figured I could at least give this hospital a visit.
[Miner]	How about you? What are you in for?
[Lucky]	Oh, uh...something about a rotator cuff. Can't use my arm.
[Lucky]	Now I'm stuck here. It sucks.
[Miner]	Hmm. How about we do a workout together?
[Miner]	That friend I mentioned showed me all kinds of stretches.
[Miner]	But before that, I wanna feel the difference in strength between your two shoulders.
[Miner]	Let's try something...
[Miner]	Hold your arm out and gimme a big thumbs up.
[Miner]	Good! Now flip it to a thumbs down if you're tired of me already.
[Miner]	I'm gonna gently cup my hands around yours.
[Miner]	You'll feel a slight push from me, but try slowly moving your arm up and down.
	[placeholder for misses and whatnot]
[Miner]	I think that's enough!
[Miner]	Now, we'll do the real thing.
[Miner]	Relax and let your mind wander. You might hear people from outside.
[Miner]	That's perfectly fine. Just clear your mind, feel the rhythm, and do the reps at your own pace.
[Miner]	Let's begin. 20 reps, now.

[After 5 reps]

	Yo. Did you see who got admitted here the other day?
	Lucky Jonronero.
	...who's that?
	Seriously? The...baseball player? On the Middlesea Scales?
	Like, one of the biggest names on the team?
	...
	All-star pitcher? And, as of this season, number one for homeruns?
	Not ringing a bell. I don't do baseball.
	Okay. Well. He's a local celebrity.
	That makes two of us!
	...not really, no.

[Phase 2]

[Lucky]	"One of the biggest names on the team"...
[Lucky]	...if that's so true, how come nobody's reached out?
[Lucky]	No phone call from Coach, no visits from my teammates, no flowers or "get well soon" card...
[Lucky]	All I got was a couple of pieces of fanmail. At least someone remembers me...
[Lucky]	What's the point of all this again?
[Miner]	It's just a little test. And yup, looks like that shoulder got real weak.
[Lucky]	If it's so weak, why don't I just work out? Pump it back into shape.
[Miner]	Ha! If you try to lift weights, your body'll topple like a stack of twigs.
[Miner]	You need some gentle tension...
[Miner]	Oh! Hold on a tick...
[Miner]	I've got some bungee cord in my bag!
[Miner]	This'll be perfect. Now, grab the cord.
[Miner]	Slowly pull it inward, without turning your body.
	[placeholder for misses and whatnot]
[Miner]	That's the exercise!
[Miner]	Easy, right? Just feel the rhythm, and let your mind wander.
[Miner]	20 more reps, now.

[After 5 reps]
