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

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.

[honestly the whole message is interesting and he might have commented on it if it weren't for the absolutely alarming way the whole thing ends. He actually has to restrain himself from physically recoiling from his device.]

Yo, please tell me the spider thing's a lie Ange.

[please....]

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

You shouldn't work alone there.

I see you are as busy as ever, Angela. I may not be able to offer medical assistance in the traditional sense, but please do not hesitate to ask me for aid should you require it- either in the clinic, or for youself.

That said- I believe the first two are correct. I cannot imagine you have ever been frightened of spiders, and you look best in blue.

3 is so mundane so i'm gonna pick that one

Was about to say spider, but the real answer is yellow.

[She read all this shhh.]

Perhaps I simply don't know you well enough, but I would have guessed #1.

[Hi, Angela. Someone's read through the other responses here.]

But far be it from me to not offer my own.

1. I have a favorite professional wrestler.
2. Of all places I've visited, I enjoy Brazil the most.
3. I have a weakness for Italian food.

I'm going to guess that this is a bit of reverse psychology, and that the most mundane option is a lie. Your favorite color isn't yellow.

Hey! I'm also a medic of sorts, I'm sticking around Lunatia to heal this time around, no mecha piloting for me.

I like this game though!

[ Konoka thinks about it for a moment before she adds another text. ]

Uh, are you sure your favorite color is yellow?

Timing seems coincidental for me, but if you've got the time I could use your services. I assume you're working pro bono? Much appreciated.

2's true for me so I'll take a chance on 1. ;)

Angela, hello... I saw you made a "post" on the "network", so I thought I'd ask...

[since she... can't actually read and no one has blessed her with the knowledge of the text > audio setting.]

Are you going in the robots... ?

Three is a lie. You like blue best.

There was someone I knew from the world we were in before this considering opening a clinic if you need an extra pair of hands. She was insistent on doing everything herself and never asking for help.

[ Which is kind of like himself so he can sort of relate... though he's been working on that. ]

[ While Belias does see her post on the network, he doesn't put two and two together until he's inside and has already given a few knocks to alert that he's there. This is the clinic, isn't it? He hadn't given it much thought - the hospitals are usually too stuffy and he dislikes the constant checkups he has to go through there, even if everyone's... 'nice'. They're just too eager for his sake.

He really only meant to stop by to alert the owner that the sign is unhinged and needs to be fixed before it falls on someone... it's probably not the doctor's area and something they would have to call to whomever maintains the block - but there would still be brutal irony in someone getting hurt because of a clinic's sign.

Nisha stamps his big paws against the floor and he gives some pause, rummaging through the bag on the side of his wheelchair to give him a treat. The large mastiff, all black and brown fur, sits at Belias's side, coming about to his elbow as he sits in his wheelchair, cutting a slightly intimidating figure despite the way he perches his muzzle on the armrest. Belias gives him a few pats on the head. ]

We'll wait a bit longer, and then we'll continue our walk.

holy shit
youre providing free healthcare?

i dont see tea in many places that means it cant be england
is this place actually canada?
ive got no experience with maple syrup moose or police wearing red
but my Bro really liked horses so i got that one

I'm gonna say 3 is a lie. Because no one's favorite color is yellow.

I think I might go. Even if I do it for a stupid reason, I'd still be doing it, right?

But hey, if you need a long-term supplier for the coffee and pastries part of your treatment once everyone gets back, I'd be happy to help. Just. Don't make me dress up like a nurse.

And I think maybe it's the camping one? Except probably not since I think you've told me before about being a field medic. Or maybe I assumed that. I don't know, you seem like a field work type. I'll pick the spider one instead.

So you are going on that trip, huh?

[He wants to go, but honestly, every time something has happened here involving the natives of the universe, it has turned out badly. At least in his experience. Maybe that's more reason for him to go.]

For the game, I want to say spider-catching competition, because I've never heard of that.

A clinic? That's yours'?

If you need any help there, let me know. I was a doctor back home, but I haven't been able to do much with it here. Except patching up a few bumps and bruises here and there. It's not nearly as exciting as working in an actual hospital/clinic setting.

[ what a sensible post. Barnaby reads and rereads it, just to make sure that he's understood the essentials. ]

Firstly, thank you for your time and effort.
It's heartening to know that import-run clinics are an option here.

If you don't mind, I'd like to ask— are you required to work in conjunction with the Prismals when establishing your own business, or are you given autonomy?

[ obviously a sensible pragmatist, this one. note that he doesn't even participate in the icebreaking game??? tut tut, Barnaby. ]

Going out on a limb and saying it's #3

[because he's late to the party and can see the other responses :|]

That's a great name for a clinic here, got to say,

2 and 3 are true, 1 is not?
