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.

The more I think on it, the more I think I should go.
If only to help keep an eye on everyone else that is going.
And I guess we all wouldn't be gone too long. If something were to happen, it would most likely be on the trip.

[He can't imagine there will be some huge incident while they are gone that requires them needing to treat a lot of people. And there will be others here to do that too. So..]

I did, but I wouldn't have thought people would be tempted to catch them.
Or other spiders in general since some can be really dangerous.

[But Angela is a Doctor, so its not like he needs to tell her the risks.]

Then I would say your favorite color isn't yellow.

[cadeuces]

Yes, it seems it will only be for a few days.
And you know I'll appreciate your company if you decide to join!
It sounds as though the trip may be dangerous, but the city is safe.

Anyway, I'm sure the soldiers tend to bore easily; it probably seemed more interesting to follow up on the rumors than to keep playing cards or trying to get a satellite signal for phone games.
The camel spiders were harmless. They aren't even true spiders. They're closer to scorpions!

But you're right, it isn't yellow, lovely and sunny as it may be.
Shall I tell you, or would you like to guess?

[extalon]

I think I will join.

[What's the worst that could happen, anyway?]

I get that. You have to keep yourself entertained, especially if you are stationed somewhere where you have a lot of down time.
I just learned something new, though. I had no idea that they weren't actually spiders.

[He could really get why they'd need to beat the boredom. If you don't keep your mind alert, bad things can happen.]

You can tell me.
I don't think I'd be able to guess it that quickly.

[cadeuces]

I'll look forward to your companionship, then. ♥

Haha, they're quite something!
They have a vicious little pinch if they try to bite you, but they don't usually break skin, either. You can find them in most deserts.

( He's right, however, that it could be a serious matter if they dozed off or let their guard down. But she's always had a respect for soldiers, if not necessarily the militaries as a whole. She'd never abide by the fighting. )

Haha, it's blue. ♥
It's always been calming, whether it's the sky day or night, or the ocean; anything.
Your turn~

[extalon]

Here’s hoping everything goes off without a hitch. [Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. That’s how he feels about this situation.]

Blue is a fitting color for you.

[Angela has a calming presence herself. So he can’t say he’s surprised that a cool, relaxing color like blue would be her favorite.]

As for me, lets see..

I am trilingual.
I don’t have any tattoos.
I hold the highscore on several 16-Bit Hero machines.

[cadeuces]

( That's why they get along so well; it's her motto, really. )

I'm glad you think so, thank you. ♥

I believe I recall seeing a tattoo on your arm, so:
The high score bit must be the lie!

( She accepts that he could very likely be trilingual incredibly easily; he's brilliant! )
