fourth ☕✨ text (AMA! un: mercy)

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.

[ Oh - that makes sense. He does his best to relax, but it's not super successful. He'll blame his instinct on it, of course. It's nothing she's done to make him think he should be tense around her. Any touch there brings him back to the night, and he has to steel himself to focus on her. It keeps him from thinking about it. He nods. ]

It's removable. I usually take it off when I sleep. You can take a look.

[ Permission given easily and freely. It's strange, really, that he takes it off as he sleeps. That herbivore instinct runs deep in him, and taking off the leg as he sleeps means he can't act on it suddenly. He watches her, nodding. ]

I don't.

[ He's quiet, mostly, observant. He takes in what she is doing. She's right to understand why he hesitates. His spontaneous decisions that led this path meant that he never meant to have to need a prosthetic. It has been a major adjustment, a big shift in his life. But, he trusts her well enough, at least as a professional. And she hasn't given him a reason to go back on this trust. He takes the insert and pockets it.

When he stands, he shifts his weight between his right - prosthetic - and left foot. He seems to be checking for feel. It's amazing such a simple thing did all of the things she's describing. It is a small bit more comfortable, even.

He bends at the knee, shifting a little. ]


I don't have any questions. The functionality is the most important part to me.

[ He takes a couple steps and seems to have no issues. ]

Thank you.

[ He'll be on his way, then. ]
