From a flashback in chapter 4 of Batzulger's 'Thank You Very Much''

"The ladies always said I was sweet Sebastian," my friend said as he worked on the last buckle. "Damn arthritis doesn't make this easy though."
He got me free just as Kawakita finished one of Elmer's drumsticks. His skin had turned green and scaly as he ate, and his body was swelling and bulking up. He head had begun to twist and change as well. I could still taste the juice on my lips. Was that going to happen to me too?
I staggered to my walker, which the Doc had left by the door and we headed out into the hall. There was a roar of something...pain or god knows what, then a hell of a lot of crashing. Galtacki, the doc's assistant, was running down the hall at us.
"Haff! Jack! What th'holy plu-perfect hell are you guys doin' outta yer rooms after lights out? And what th'hell is that racket?"
"Doctor Kawakita needs your help and sent us to find you, Mr. Galtacki," Jack said all cool, calm, and collected. The lights were crap in the hall, so he couldn't see how messed up my face was at least. "He's in the clinic."
"He is huh? Well you two stay right there while I see what's really up."
"Y'all do that now. We'll be peaceable as church-mice," I said.
"You'd better," he pushed past us down the corridor.
"We have just moved to dessert and after-dinner mint," Jack said. "Let's get the hell out of here!"
