fourth ☕✨ text (AMA! un: mercy)

[cadeuces]

Hello, Lunatia! I hope this finds you all well. I'm Dr. Angela Ziegler, if we've yet to have the pleasure. The doctor who owns the Second Nature (Free) Clinic on the beach in level 2.

I have seen a lot of new faces of late and quite the number of questioning entries, as well as some other Q&As, so I thought that I would offer one a little more... medically professional? And from someone who has been here for a year, now.

I'm sure it is quite disorienting here at times and I would like to offer some peace of mind and an open venue to ask anything you'd like, whether it's about this place or its changes, pre-existing medical concerns, how to administer a massage for a partner, what goes into cybernetics, creating a swedish torch as the weather warms up for hiking, or even simply just coffee shop recommendations. Everyone is welcome to try me.

If even posting anonymously is a bit too much, you are free to contact me privately as well.

Do you think I don't have normal friends?
I do, I promise. I just like to be able to help where I can.
Everyone deserves to be a little better every day.

Reiner has been very excellent.
And a very sweet man I've met has been helping me train him.
He trained service dogs before this place.

I behave myself when I feel like it. 😘
And you?

[torsion]

Hm. I mean I don't, but I'd hate to make assumptions.
I understand. That's why I did what I did back home. Unfortunately knowing right where to stab or shoot a monster and lockpicking isn't exactly as transferable a skill as being a combat medic.
Such as it is when you're a Jill of All Trades.

I'm glad to hear that! Can't hurt to have a little extra protection, even if it hopefully won't be needed.

Oh, you know me.
Some conversations are best kept to being in-person.

[cadeuces]

Well I do have "normal friends"; I'm sorry to disappoint.
And I'm sure there are plenty of physical activities you could find yourself teaching others or applying to expeditions with the Moon Knights.

"Extra protection"? He's just going to be in the clinic for emotional support, you know. Medical service. I didn't mean military service.

Is that how you invite ladies out for drinks?

[torsion]

Ha ha, well that's not a bad thing!
Suppose so. I generally do make my chroma via teaching others, but the excursions with the Moon Knights are pretty infrequent. At least not frequent enough I think I could make it a full-time job.
Plus, I'm not sure how much I trust them, if I'm being honest.

I meant when you take him home with you. Not that I hear of break-ins or anything -- or that I think you couldn't handle a burglar dumb enough to enter your place. ;)

If it's working?
Definitely.

[cadeuces]

That is certainly fair enough, at the rate chroma fluctuations in this place result in the unexpected.

And I didn't even think of that... V and his familiars have always set my mind at ease just being there.

( And Dante and Vergil— well... Oops, she's sad now. )

It's working, if you're buying first. 😚

[torsion]

Geek. ;)
But no, you're right. Things seem to randomly affect it, so it's smart to have a surplus when able.

I like the bird. Guys better be careful or I'm gonna steal 'em.

[ It doesn't occur to Jill that way, though she's reached out to V about the disappearances already. Mostly in attempt to score a sweet jacket... ]

What kind of woman do you take me for?

[cadeuces]

We prefer the term "nerd", thank you.
And it is a preferred tactic, though I realize it's difficult for many here.

'The bird' will very quickly get on your nerves, as mouthy as he is even in his sleep. But you'll still have to fight me for him. He reminds me a little of Dante.

And clearly one of fine manners, since I assumed correctly. ✨

[torsion]

Of course. I'm sorry, I'm rarely versed in vernacular outside of my circle.

Ha ha, I love it. I'd definitely wrestle you to play birdmom for a weekend.
Well, if he can give me a high-five, at least.
Though I can see how he might remind you of him.

Glad to hear it. Just let me know when you feel like cashing in. ;)
