[X] Ask for the exact date; if they don't volunteer the year, ask for it and play it off as a joke
[X] Ask about Anna and Frau Lechner; try to get them to tell you about themselves.

Nurse friend brought more friends! Hooray for us!

After you wake up, you continue to lie still for a while. An image of an old man is your mind, someone you have dealt with and, as is now apparent, who you have sold your language to. In return you received a set of numbers that you now somehow perfectly remember.
48.2083049 16.3723155
48.2085159 16.373278
48.2041521 16.3799387
No explanations what they could mean comes to your mind, and only for the last set you remember a description of a path, sounding so out of this world that is must be in the hedge or further.

Hmmmmmm... I wonder if the numbers stand for something in the hospital. Maybe file numbers or coordinates? The other, slightly more interesting solution is that they could possibly be a code of some sort, but the fact that all the columns share the first 4 digits is pretty interesting, since it suggests a grouping or relations (similar file drawer/database? possibly similar positions on a coordinate axis?).

As for the vote, I'll just hop on the bandwagon of "trying to get as much info as possible without spilling the beans on our total ignorance":

Let's try to make a good impression with Agatha while learning a little more about what's going on. After all, we wouldn't want to make Anna look bad in front of someone she went out of her way to have us meet.

Did I say I would update within two weeks? Oh, well...
Honestly I think I could make time for an update right now, but I'd prefer to wait for some more votes. (I know voting for questions isn't popular, but I thought the simpler voting system this time would offset that.)
So ... update somewhen next week probably, I'm a bit busy until then.

However, I will try to adapt my submission to the Halloween Short Fiction Contest to an omake for this quest soon, so you should get at least that.

Putting them into Google Maps gets you some interesting results.

And:

Can't think of any more questions.

The year joke thing feels a tiny bit OOC to me? Like, would that be a thing culturally for us? Maybe I'm overthinking it.

Delay...again
  • Informational
    • As some of you may have noticed, there is a delay, and I am sorry about that. (I feel like I have made more posts apologising about the lack of updates than actual updates...)
    There is some stuff going on in my social life that really diminishes my motivation for pretty much anything, and what little I have left, I use for the things I actually have to do.
    So...update whenever, but surely at some point. This story is not dead!

    It's O.K. take all the time you need. Real life comes first, before your internet friends and you should do what you have to do to get back on track with your social and interest in writing. Hope everything works out.
