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.

Ah, so near, yet so far! I am, in fact, completely waterproof, provided my body has not sustained any significant damage. If I do not allow my body to automatically coordinate itself and make a conscious attempt, I am in fact terrible at juggling. And Thespion 2.0, while a fine actor in their own right, is no match for Thespion 4.0.

Oh! Your lack of cover fooled me; still, that's quite a relief to hear.

You're much better at this game than I am! Let's see...

1. My favorite drink is mulled wine.
2. The class I enjoyed most studying to be a doctor was biology.
3. The first broadcast I saw of the war was Stuttgart and the Crusaders.

Now those are more complex... hmm.

[Complex, and somewhat sobering. It is strange to think that she was a child, living through that pain and fear, before he had even been conceived in the heart of an omnium he scarcely remembers.]

I am not surw what mulled wine tastes like, unfortunately, so I cannot comment on your first option, but... [a delicate pause] ... you are from Switzerland, are you not? I believe it is likely that you watched the war effort in Germany. I shall say the second is false, and that your favourite class was more theoeretical or experimental.

( Sociology was important, of course, but biology— that was what really sparked her understanding of how the human body knit back together and how cells and damage could be repaired with the right "materials". )

Mulled wine is a hot beverage offered at winter markets in western Europe; it often features cloves, cinnamon, and anise with orange peels, then how people garnish from there is personal preference. But it is not quite my favorite. ♥

You're right that I am from Switzerland, though, and that the Stuttgart battle was close to "home". That was what made Reinhardt so famous! His hair was like a lion's mane.

Biology was one of my favorite courses, actually! Though I did enjoy many of the others I took, alongside it. It was thanks to my biology courses that I was able to crack the nanite functions for repairing various tissues. 😉 Which means it's your turn again.
