What is your favorite number?

There are wrong answers.

[onehole]

Doctor!
Are you insinuating that it is I who want to sext?
With numbers?
How filthy do you take me for?

[doctorize]

Not at all! I was merely giving my own opinion on how I see it.

[... But there's no doubt that Danny's finding amusement in this.]

1/2

[onehole]

[ Fukuda can't help but laugh at the response back.

He pauses as he thinks about to what "Doctor" had said about 1. He wonders about it. It sounds like there might be more, but he's having fun. He has someone who said something very nice to him without knowing it. Saying that he gave a normal answer.

But being in person with him, Fukuda is more aware of his abnormalities and social awkwardness. Still. His smile softens a little, and he wonders if he can be friends with these people. To actually have a connection.

...That would be nice. ]

[onehole]

FIEND!!!!!
Ruining a numbers-loving person like myself's good name!

[doctorize]

[Danny very rarely has fun talking to people on the network, in all honesty. This however is proving to be an exception, for the moment.]

Oh my, really? But how can I possibly ruin your good name when you haven't even told me what it is yet?

[onehole]

I guess you can't.
It's Tamotsu Fukuda. Fukuda.

Now you know whose name you're ruining. ;A; ;A; ;A;!!!!

[doctorize]

Oh, my apologies. [He isn't actually sorry.] In that case, please allow me to offer my own name in exchange to try to make up for it.

My name is Dr. Daniel Dickens, but you're welcome to call me Danny if you want. Most people seem to like doing so, anyway.

[onehole]

I'll accept it for what I've gone through.

So, you actually are a doctor! What's your specialty, Dr. Dickens? [ He'd like to call him 'Danny,' but. Hm. Awkward numbers man is awkward and wants to ... be respectful to someone. ]

[doctorize]

Well, primarily I work in psychiatric care for the Second Nature clinic here, but I'm also skilled in other medical areas of expertise ranging from something as simple as first aid to surgical proficiency in the event of emergencies.

[A jack of all trades, so to speak, with therapy work being his primary field... along with one other thing, but that "other thing" isn't necessarily something he's technically licensed for...]

[onehole]

You're really very skilled.

Still. Psychiatric care, huh?

Do you have a large patient load?

[doctorize]

I can't really give out exact numbers, but I will say that it's a smaller load in comparison to what I had back home... but in a way, that could be seen as a good thing, depending on how you look at it?

[onehole]

I see.
That is good.
You would think that might not be the case in an alien world.

[ ......................

He is enjoying this conversation, but if he asks to be a patient... he might not be able to be a friend. ]

I'm pleased to hear it, Doctor~!

[doctorize]

[It's better to be Danny's friend than his patient, depending on who you ask...]

Indeed! Of course, I suppose it's possible that there are people who really need it here but are refusing to seek help... but you also can't just force those people to seek out therapy if they don't want it.

Regardless, I at least have the offer out there for those looking for it, which I believe is better than nothing.

[onehole]

It's true.
There is a stigma that people sometimes carry with themselves, haha.
But I'm hopeful that those that need it will come to you.

I'm sure that it is.

[doctorize]

I hope so as well.

You still haven't given me an explanation in regards to the number 5, but I suppose I can let it go for now. Would you be interested then in telling me why the number 3 is your favorite instead?

[onehole]

I have to leave a person guessing. It means that we can talk to each other in the future.

[ Hm. Did that come off as desperate? He wonders. ]

Three is just the perfect number. Three wishes. Three guesses. Body-Mind-Spirit. A whole family. A triangle. Haha, it is just too perfect.

[doctorize]

I'll be sure to hold you to that, then.

[Maybe it's a little desperate, but Danny would be a hypocrite for occasionally coming off as desperate himself...]

But oh, I see now! That makes sense when you put it that way... I can't say for certain if I would change my own favorite for that one, but now I can understand a little better why you like it.

[onehole]

:)

Oh no! Are you attempting to psychoanalyze me, doctor? Haha, I'm too boring a person, I fear.

[doctorize]

Oh no, perish the thought! It's a little early for psycho-analyzing people you only just met, don't you think?

[onehole]

It is, indeed!

At least wait until the third date.

[doctorize]

Fine, fine. Only because you asked so nicely.

[onehole]

Thank you!

And I promise no judgement until the 5th date.

[doctorize]

I should hope by then I'll already know the significance of that number.

[onehole]

But if you know it by that time, then what reason would we have to keep talking, ha ha ha.

[doctorize]

Wow! I can't help but be a little offended that you'd think that we wouldn't find other things to talk about by then.

[Like talking about other interests and hobbies! ... Probably shouldn't talk about murder though, Danny tends to lose friends that way.]
