second ☕✨ text (opening a clinic & a game!)

[cadeuces]

Guete Morge, everyone!

I will try to keep this brief. I've posted once before but I imagine it's more likely that if you know me, you've met me in person or know a mutual acquaintance; my name is Angela Ziegler. I'm the doctor that has opened the Second Nature Clinic on level 2. It has officially been set up and I've worked up a preliminary amount of basic medications that should be familiar to most such as allergy medication, pain management, decongestants, and other such things.

More importantly, there is no charge for any of my services if anyone ever needs to come by or contact me. I'll also gladly come to you if you're not comfortable in medical facilities or don't wish to leave your apartment. I think we all know by now the effect we can have on others, depending on the time of the month. I want everyone to know that they're welcome, for any reason, whether it's for questions, concerns with the moonblessings this place bestows upon us, medical aid, or simply for a cup of coffee and some fresh pastries for the company. We are all here on our own and it's the least that I can offer to support others.

( You know, Understatement Of The Century™️, but moving right along. You can practically read the warm little smile like to be on her face if she were speaking this aloud. )

I've seen countless posts here seeking commiseration on feelings and effects people have experienced, worries, concerns— and nowhere else to put them. I hope you're all well and have found the answers you need. While I am primarily a surgeon and combat medic, I never mind listening or offering another perspective if you ever wish for something more private and a touch professional. You could call it part of my job to assist others in shifting their typical way of thinking into something a little more positive after a life-changing injury and its recovery.

I do plan on joining the trip so that a medic is present, so the clinic may be closed for a few days. If anyone wishes to post their contact information on the door for others remaining in Prismatica, please feel free to do so! I would rest easier knowing that there are eyes out for all of us, across both places.

And if you wish to know me a bit better, why don't we play a game? Two truths and a lie. Let's see, I'll start...

1. I once won a spider-catching competition.
2. I've spent more time camping than living in my house.
3. My favorite color is yellow.

[He's not playing the game, but he does have some concerns.]

You shouldn't work alone there.

[cadeuces]

( BOOOOOO PLAY THE GAME WITH HER!! Guess her favorite color!! )

Work alone where, Süässli?
My clinic, or Amegahara?
There is another medic that helps me with the clinic, at least, but I'm not certain whether or not he's going along.

[hot_handed]

[Fiiiine. Yellow's a shitty color anyway.]

Both. I don't trust him.

[Bakugou you don't even know his name.]

[cadeuces]

( It's not the worst but it's far from the best, so agreed. )

Hahaha, I'm sure you've never even met him!
He's perfectly kind; we have much in common. I'd worked with him before we even arrived here, even.

I promise that, at the very least, he's a trustworthy partner and I won't get too tired running about on my own.
But you won't have to deal with him if you don't want to; you can always just call me.

And you already trust me so much when you know so little about me, so why not humor me?
Take a guess at which one might be false.

[hot_handed]

Whatever. I don't care about him.

It's not 1 because you probably think they're cute or some shit. It's not 2 because you're a war doctor so you probably spend a lot of time camping. Your sense of style isn't an assault to my eyes, so it's 3.

[cadeuces]

But you care about me?
I'm touched, Katsuki. ♥

( Let the poor kid live, Ange. )

To clarify 1, I don't necessarily find them cute, but they do have an important role in the ecosystem!

But you're as sharp as ever; you're absolutely correct.
Not a fan of yellow?

( She'll keep it in mind, in case she ever had any sunny thoughts regarding gifts for him. )

But it's your turn now, provided you'll humor me.
I'd like the chance to get to know you a little better!

[hot_handed]

You're competent and easy to be around. Don't make me regret it!!!

Oh. They're pretty badass. Yellow's too bright. I've noticed a lot of loud assholes wear it.

I'll pass.

mom........ pout...

[cadeuces]

Haha, I'll do my utmost to continue to be pleasant company for you. 😊

Do you know a lot of "loud assholes" in yellow? I have to remember to avoid it.

Really? I don't even get a favorite color?
I know who you look up to, and why you're on the path you're on, but...
Favorite food?
Any sports you like?

don't pout at him!!! :(

[hot_handed]

One of my classmates, Dunce Face Kaminari, and teachers, Banana Sensei both have yellow hair.

Why can't you just find out?

Fine.

Favorite color is orange, then black.
Favorite food is pizza.
Favorite sport is winning, hiking and rock-climbing.

[cadeuces]

Banana sensei!

( It's a shame he can't hear the peal of laughter that gets from her that boils down to an outright giggle; that must be in reference to Hizashi, since he rather respected Toshinori.

She also won't rib him on how close "orange" is to "yellow". This lil punk... )

I'll keep those in mind. 😊
I didn't know you liked hiking, though!
We should go together some time.
I love getting out of the city now and then.

[hot_handed]

Have you met?

Hey, Doctor, I might hate hiking and like swimming instead. Aren't you supposed to guess which is the lie?

[cadeuces]

We have! On his birthday, even.
I had the chance to give him something sweet for it.

...I didn't think you were playing! I could absolutely see you being active, though, and orange suits you...

...Hmm, but who doesn't like pizza? As a favorite, though...

I say "pizza" is the lie. You strike me as someone that likes spicy food.

[hot_handed]

My sympathies. He must have been extra obnoxious on that day.

...

How did you???

Fine. You won. I guess I'll go hiking with you.

[cadeuces]

He was just fine, I promise. I was checking up on Toshinori, primarily.

And you shouldn't underestimate a doctor, Katsuki.
Part of our job is knowing our patients aren't trying to hide something. ✨
I'll be sure to pack something tasty; maybe once we're back from the trip to Amegahara?

[hot_handed]

They live together?

You're the first doctor I haven't been able to fool.
Get ready for me to up my game.
You don't have to... Sure. Contingent upon your safe return.

[cadeuces]

I believe so; if they don't, they've certainly fooled me over the course of multiple visits.

I'll wear that as a badge of honor, then. ♥
And I won't have it taken from me so easily!

( "Contingent upon her safe return", is it. He's trying to bribe her now into treating him with her own careful proceedings? Cute... )

I'll behave myself, promise.
Are you not planning on going?

[hot_handed]

I wish I didn't know that.

I'll give it my all too.

Are you serious? I'm not missing this chance. Doesn't give you an excuse to be dumb.

[cadeuces]

I'm quite certain they're just roommates to save costs, Katsuki.
Besides, Toshinori strikes me as the type to need someone around to remind him to eat, haha.

I'll look forward to the competition!
I know you won't go easy on me. ♥

And if my hero's going to be present, I can't make any promises.
(I'll do my best not to give you grief, though, honest.)
"Being dumb" is unfortunately in my job description.
If I'm not reckless, people don't get saved.
But I'm glad to know you're going.

[hot_handed]

Yeah. Fucking moron. I guess Banana Sensei is at least obnoxiously persistent.

I won't.

Don't be so patronizing. I'm not a hero yet.
That's dumb! Who's going to save them if you get hurt?!
It's a decent opportunity.

[cadeuces]

Now; I understand the exasperation, but please don't speak of your teachers as such.

And I promise I'm not being patronizing. It was sincere.
You did save me, and by yourself, as well.
I won't forget it.

I have healing technology inside of me, remember?
I'm quite hard to keep down, I promise.
I'd be right back on my feet even if I do get hurt.
It's a risk, of course, I'm aware of that, but it's one someone has to take.

[hot_handed]

Why not? It's the truth.

Yeah, well. Whatever. Now we're even.

But you just admitted you were dumb.
Doing something dumb and being aware of it is...
Fucking dumb.

[cadeuces]

Persistent is one thing. Moron is another.

Still, as I've said, there are some things we can recognize as foolish while still knowing we have to do them.
Firefighters know it's foolish to run into a burning building, but they're still trained to do just that with high risk to their lives, for the sake of saving others.
Soldiers still enlist to fight for their country and safety of their loved ones, again with high risk.
I wouldn't dare put myself on their level, but it's a similar concept.
Unfortunately the place and time I come from doesn't have heroes, the way yours does. Or people with such fantastic abilities.
We're all just regular humans trying to fit roles in life that require filling.

( She doesn't mind explaining it, just as she doesn't mind accepting the mantle; sure, she's "fucking dumb". )

[hot_handed]

I can talk that way. I'm the only one doing anything about this shitty place.

First off, don't be modest.
Secondly we're not on YOUR world. Or on mine. The same rules don't apply.
My abilities fucking pale in comparison to this place. If you choose not to adapt, you'll die. That's dumb.

[cadeuces]

I can assure you that you're not the only one; it's just far beyond a simple fix.

It isn't being modest to speak the truth; my training was far different.
And you're right, we're not on either of our worlds, where we know the people or the cultures or the technology.
It just means we have to be patient and re-learn these things before acting.
We're not going to die here, Katsuki.
I'm not going to let that happen.
Not anyone.

( If it means spreading herself membrane-thin trying to reach everyone, well. So be it. If they're all maintaining safe levels of chroma, then nothing should be capable of hurting them too badly. )

[hot_handed]

So what exactly are they doing to solve things?

I don't have the time to be patient! Every day here is another day we remain trapped, at the mercy of the whims of the spineless bastards who control this place. I won't let my allies go through that. And I won't let anyone else.
And I won't let YOU die just because you share the same stupid notion most heroes do that it's okay to get hurt if it means others don't have to. Fuck that shit.
Fuck this place.

Fuck all of it, tbh.
