( Someone has been (highly reluctantly) following this man.
It was at the festivities that the guy first earned the attention of aliens.... initially piqued by Talks of Anatomy and held by nearly everything else about Palamedes from then on. (Clearly an intellectual, perhaps a scholar of some kind?? Curious aliens want to know.) The entity housed in an unfortunate teenager's right hand made sure to coax Shinichi to get closer to the man throughout the evening, never actually directly approaching him, just.... observing from a distance. At one point, they saw him with a notebook, which really excited Migi. Notes? Observations? The alien hand is itching to get his fingers on whatever the scientific-minded man may have ended up jotting down.
Now Shinichi's been roped into helping out at the little clinic (again, led there by his horrible alien appendage who just wants to poke itself everywhere it can and learn about this new world in which they're being withheld), and as chance would have it, there they spot the man again....
Migi gets right to work prompting his human host to continue the tailing. But here he has to be a little more careful; it isn't so easy to seem inconspicuous in this setting, in comparison to louder, brighter party affairs. It mostly consists of Shinichi slowly and very awkwardly just kind of.... following the man from a distance, ambling into whatever room he might be at, pretending to be looking for something or waiting to help out a patient, or carrying things around โ a stack of towels, a crate of medicines.
Migi has also gone Spy Mode and it is horrible but it means that a thin tendril of himself has stretched out from Shinichi's right hand and snaked its way up inside of his clothing, where it now peers out of his collar in the form of a little eyestalk. From there, it watches what's going on (spies on Palamedes) and then can duck back down quickly into Shinichi's collar to conceal itself when needed.
It's completely creepy and Shinichi is cringing hard when, after casually passing by the man again, they get a quick glimpse of the bizarre conversation he's having with someone (Necromancy? Wizards?), which leads Migi to finally give him the order to go talk to the guy so he can listen.
So there's a very nervous and nauseated-looking young man approaching Palamedes now, standing stiff and awkward and looking like someone is holding a gun to his head. He tries to wait until there's kind of a lull in conversation so he's not interrupting, but Migi gives him a hissed whisper to make haste and interject and Shinichi suddenly pipes up. Cringing again immediately afterwards, it probably seems rude... He hates his entire life..... )
makeshift clinic! (cw: some mild body horror, aliens doing stretchy things)

I'm sorry, but.... did you say wizards?
