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.

It is indeed!
And the more hands available, the merrier; though I can't promise it's exactly a formal clinic, either.
I have a workshop in the back to assist with prosthetics and cybernetics, which is a fair enough demand here, and it's as "homey" as possible.
I wanted it to be comfortable instead of clinical.

There are enough people here wary of care with the Prismals or outright afraid of hospitals.
It was the least I could do in its design.
May I ask what your specialties are, in case we need to forward anyone to one another?
And let me know what days or hours you would like to be present.
I often stay the mornings and my partner the afternoons, with contact information for all hours otherwise.

( ooc: hi! if you'd like her to be on the official roster from the business page, please feel free to fill out the form on the business post— and you can make a toplevel on the permanent log linked on the page if you'd like, over here, for medical catch-all things. ♥ it's cool if not, as well! just tossing the relevant links ur way if so. )

((OOC: zooms off to that! Yosano's been itching to do some Actual Medical Things so this is perf. thank yoou))

That's alright, I don't need formal. It sounds like a really nice set-up, and pretty close to what I'd had at home too.

My name is Akiko, and I suppose I'm specialized in things like surgery, first aid, triage, etc. I worked as the on-call doctor for a detective agency, but I'm afraid my general skills weren't often needed.

Unfortunately it's only limited to once a day here, I suppose because of the Chroma needed to do it? But I have a special healing ability called 'Thou Shalt Not Die.' I can heal someone completely to good-as-new condition, but the drawback is they have to be close to death first. I suppose if there's ever a big battle if you put them all in a room together I can heal them up all at once.

( ooc: you're absolutely welcome, and thank you! help the clinic be a little livelier. ✨ )

Thank you kindly; you're welcome to visit whenever you wish to see if it's somewhere you'd like to spend your time.
But it's very nice to meet you regardless, miss Akiko!

That sounds like it must have been quite an interesting workplace even so; how exciting!
I'm sure they appreciated having you when your skills were required.

Oh! I'll be sure to keep that in mind; I had a healing technology of my own that was limitless in its creation and required no particular external energy source, but I found much the same issue.
When I arrived, it seemed to be tied into my chroma. It's been rendered essentially useless for anything but minor scrapes and cuts, and it wears me out quite terribly.

Have you been here in Prismatica long?

( Nice to meet you, "Thou Shalt Not Die"! I'm "Heroes Never Die"! We're like long lost twins or something. )

There was never a dull day, that's for sure. But trying to keep all the boys in line could get exhausting, you know? Only two of them are here in this world, but of course it's the biggest handfuls.

I've been here for a little over two months now, I think? It's certainly been... interesting. I guess I'm thankful it's not boring, but I'd rather have my healing ability back to normal. Only using it once a day is a big change, considering I could use it pretty limitlessly on myself too.

[You know how hard it is to actually think about when she's attacking and all now? She used to be so reckless...]

[cadeuces]

Haha, isn't that how it always works out?
My biggest handfuls happened to be here as well; but I'm glad for it.
I'd not seen them in years and didn't even know if they were still alive.

You'll always have a reprieve with some snacks here, if you need the sanctuary. 😊

I see; I certainly understand the sentiment.
There are many here who don't like to be touched, but it's the best method for offering them healing without my technology.
I've been here nearly six months, now, and I wish I could say anything has changed regarding those restrictions.
