The Dream Record 20171210

"Story goes that there's this detective called 'Marstin' - derived from "Mars" in the name "Martin", is helping to solve an illegitimate child case involving a rich person's kid who might have biological parents who have came to seek Marstin for assistance. He agreed to help but the situation is as follows: The kid is known by the parents from a news broadcast of the kid involved in a serious accident, and is currently residing in a private doctor who sets shop on the middle of the town square. Setting is 19th century Europe for reference. However the place only allows male visitors for some reason - from doctors to workers to guards - and only so permission is only allowed in a case by case basis. The brainstorming appears in sight to reveal the couple mashed in together after a couple of iterations of disguise to reveal two guys instead of a male and female.

"If that's the case we can go in as a gay couple!" (sorry, everyone) 

A couple of guys with crooked backs stand at the entrance of the shop in the middle of the night, dressed in untidy black suits standing in front of the door with a couple of guards. They request assistance to enter to visit the kid as they are distant relatives or something. The guard tells them to wait, walks into the large empty room onto behind a wall on the right - which can be totally seen from the outside despite the lack of lighting indoors besides where the guard is - and converses with supposedly the victim. He stops his words, looks back at the couple and shakes his head. The couple leave in sadness. 

They then come back dressed as paramedics wheeling an injured person lying on his back on a stretcher. The guard tells them to leave but one of the explains, "Can't you see this person is (insert intestine disease which I cannot remember the name of) gravely ill? We just need to see the doctor! The rain is pouring outside and he needs assistance immediately!" The guards see what seems to be a ripped stomach and the guy moaning in pain, as if he is about to faint. The doctor appears behind the entrance and shouts, "Oh dear we need to help this guy! Get everyone here to help this person into the emergency room!" The guards heed the command and carry the patient in whilst chasing the couple away. 

Inside the room, the patient wakes up to reveal that it is indeed Marstin the detective in disguise. "Thank goodness the parents acted their part well; I can never carry a real patient myself", he thought to himself. (I will explain this later) He gets out of the bed and hides with his back behind the bed facing away from the only door with a small window in it. He sees the large window to the left of him to notice an empty, dark alleyway with a light source on the near end, barely lighting half of the alley. He looks back in the door to notice the doctor entering the room. 

"I need to do something to this guy." 

The doctor immediately turns into a stack of paper which flies around in the room. Marstin quickly summons a bunch of strings stretched across the drawer on right end to the ceiling on the other end, similar to a clothesline. The paper then moves swiftly to be slotted messily between the lines. He then looks at his hand ready to do another summon but notices it is not working. "Oh I'm using too much magic! Too much magic..." He talks to himself while tapping on the desk beside the bed he was hiding behind. "Maybe I should just tie the doctor up instead, but how...?" Suddenly, he hears a knock on the door!"
