Hi all. John Watson.

I'm with the original batch of refugees and there's a lot of you I haven't met - a lot I probably never will. [ at this point, with everything so permanently Wild, why not be blase about being Batch Number 1? ] As a doctor, I'd like to reassure and remind you that if the medical methods on offer here make you uncomfortable, there are alternatives. There are plenty of medical professionals from various backgrounds among us, so I encourage you to ask around if you need to. Don't feel like the Sanctuary's your only option - although from what I understand a lot of us do work there now, so it's also a safe place to go even if you are wary.

On that note, I'm putting together a list— yeah, I know we all hate the L word, don't panic —of people who are either medically trained or capable of healing magic. If you fit into that, anywhere from an ability to deliver first aid to, I don't know-- magical liposuction. [ this is a thing he regrets saying as soon as it's said, the immediate frown of "??? why the fuck" appears on his face literally immediately before being smoothed forcibly away ] Get in touch. I'll need to know a few basics. Skillset, medical background, level of expertise, whether or not you're comfortable to be contacted by fellow refugees, whether or not you're comfortable to be contacted to help in an emergency. You don't need to fire it all at me in one go unless you want to, we'll have a chat. Feel free to reply privately, that's fine. Replying doesn't immediately put you on a public database, I won't be handing out your name to anybody without your permission. Thanks.

[ aaaaand with a brief pause to consider if there's anything else to add, a small hand-lift of a wave to the camera when he decides there isn't, it's John out ]


( ooc: please input your medically trained/magical healer/therapist/etc character's info into this spreadsheet if you're interested in having your character contacted for medical shenanigans! It's fine to respond to the spreadsheet without replying to this post, but ICly your character will have needed to make themselves known to John somehow to end up on this list, so we can handwave it (default, no contact necessary) or you can get in touch to work out the details! )

Great. Do you want me to start passing your name along? Not all that surprisingly, there are quite a few people here who need that sort of help.

[cykedelic]

Of course, go ahead. [ She nods once. ] I mean, it might help me get work with locals as well, especially if I can set up a space for people to come to that they can feel comfortable in.

[enarms]

That always helps, yeah. [ Ella's office had always felt less an office and more a room in a home - it helped. ] I think it's important we've got people with these sorts of skills. Apparently there's a limited counselling staff at the Sanctuary, but we can't really use them. On account of not being able to tell natives about the great big space station in the sky.

[ and all that lovely jazz... having refugees who are able to provide these services for fellow refugees as well as the locals who are also poorly cared for in that domain is definitely necessary. ]

Sorry, just realised, I never caught your name.

[cykedelic]

It makes a change from handling it in a courtroom, anyway. [ She makes it sound like a joke, but no... it really does make a difference. ] I can ask my Boss if I can use a part of the living room in our house here for the time being. I definitely can't afford more than that at the moment.

[ She pauses, tapping her lip this time. ] We all probably have someone missing or in that place, right? It may be that talking to someone will help, so I'm definitely willing to give it a go.

[ Even she has someone she's waiting for in there, so! ]

But ack! Sorry, I got caught up in the explanations. Athena Cykes, at your service, Mr. Watson!

[ And with that, she flashes him a peace sign at the screen. ]

Miss Cykes. [ acknowledgement and greeting, delivered with a smile. listen, he doesn't know what the fuck good manners are here, so he's just going to follow suit until told otherwise. too many people too many customs. ]

—Hope you don't mind, but I'm about to give your contact out to a couple of people, so you might get to have a go in the front room sooner than you thought. Not all that surprisingly, there's a demand.

[cykedelic]

Just Athena is fine, don't worry. [ Because she's presuming she's younger than him - plus it seems like he's a lot more qualified to be giving out orders at the moment. ]

Feel free to send people my details, yes. It'll be easier if they can contact me so we can figure out times and everything.
