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.

You have intelligence and a drive, it seems, which can often be all one needs. So long as both are used properly.

I was born in Nigeria. My family had a business in prosthesis which I ran myself for a few years, though I left it for a more active position. All for the best; I was never suited for office work. I work with a group of people, now, all with our own goals; mine is humanitarian.

[honestly at this point he's just wondering how long he can string her along before she realizes who she's talking to. it's not that he has more than just her name to go off of - he certainly doesn't remember the nitty gritty of Talon's file on her, just that she was a skilled surgeon - but he's relatively certain they're from the same world.]

I should think I've applied them about as best I'm able. 😉

Nigeria's quite beautiful in many corners of the country.
And that's quite a coincidence! I work with prosthetics and cybernetics myself, actually.
I can certainly imagine an active person like yourself would have a difficult time with a simple office job though, from the sound of it.
What is it you're looking to accomplish?

( It's going to go on for quite a while; she tries too hard to see the good in others, and she doesn't remember smaller details about the near-last mission Genji had participated in, recovered from his latest and last upgrade before Overwatch had been disbanded. She knew of Doomfist, and his ties to Talon, but she didn't know his real name sliced in half nor did she know about his background. It hadn't been her concern. )

Only to improve the general state of humankind. [hint; warfare.] I tend to be out in the field more often than not, taking a more active role and position. Often in the midst of conflicts; I dare say we have something in common.

[cadeuces]

Does it tie into your work with prosthetics?
It sounds like you do nearly what I do; if you ever need the assistance in this place or would like to make use of my workshop, please feel free to come by the clinic. 😊

I'm so sorry, I never quite caught your name.
Who should I be looking out for?

[goldrighthand]

I"m afraid I've left most of that behind me. Though it certainly helped me get where I am today.

My name is Akande.

[cadeuces]

( Ah, now. There it is. Some names weren't familiar when you only had one or the other, and she's been through so many countries that many names now seemed "normal". She could have chalked "Akande" up to much the same. But the username completed the puzzle and then crumbs coalesced to a proper hunk of bread, and now she has the scent. The taste.

Angela Ziegler, you absolute fool. Of course he knew of her; so was this more than a simple game? It takes her a few minutes to reply. It could be a calling from her clinic, a patient, a guest— or it could be her scanning their conversation over again and again, trying to read between the lines. (Definitely the latter.) )

Akande, then.
I'd be interested to hear more about what you do, now. 😊
Maybe another time!

( Fooling Absolutely No One, but she isn't about to start pointing fingers or starting any fights. She'll just... spend more time with her neighbors now, most like. )

he's not changed rn but this is legit him

[goldrighthand]

[The silence is easily filled with imaging her reaction, and he finds it incredibly entertaining. How she must be regarding his previous words! He certainly didn't lie, but it's all a matter of perspective, isn't it?

After all, he's quite aware some people call him a 'monster'.

He doesn't mind.]

Another time. I wish you the best for now - it has been a pleasure speaking with you.

big boye

( shhhhhhhhh SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH )

And you as well; thank you for indulging a silly whim.

( She can disapprove and still be polite, all right? It's best to just. Not make waves. Something most of her former agents don't understand, unfortunately. )
