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! )

sure that youre fine?????? no not really but i was trying not to pry

[enarms]

What's brought this up? I'm fine

[cacoethical]

you just seem awfully busy already i mean i hardly ever see you not that im entitled to that exactly its just that we live together technically

also 'magical liposuction'??????? clearly the invention of a troubled mind

[JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE SAFE.]

1/2

[enarms]

[ FOR FUCK'S SAKE ]

Slip of the tongue

[enarms]

Yeah sorry there's just a lot to do and a 40 hour work week on top of it. Speaking of, if you want to move somewhere less

like ours

I'm making enough that we can upgrade

[ d-d-distraction tactics ]

[cacoethical]

what youre inviting me to move in with you???? voluntarily????? me????????????? are you sure youre okay???????????????

[enarms]

Combination of factors: I prefer not to live alone, I can't be bothered to get to know a new person if I don't have to, you're a person I get along with fine and you've been a decent housemate. See?
Sound reasoning, perfectly fine.

[cacoethical]

to be honest im not entirely sure how to respond to that 😮😮😮😮 i mean sure!!! yes!!!! definitely!!! that seems entirely well-reasoned and yes sure perfectly sound but nobodys ever asked me before

[enarms]

Oh [ Dirk Gently: somewhat heartbreaking human ] Well, take some time to think about it. Don't feel obliged. If you did want to try living with someone you actually see semi-regularly, I won't be offended

[cacoethical]

no!!!! no or rather yes id be delighted to im just i mean are you sure????? i feel as though one of us has missed something really essential here like are you joking???? for starters???? maybe i missed that?????

[enarms]

No, Dirk, I'm not joking. I'm moving and I'm inviting you to continue to be my house/flat/whatever we find-mate.

[cacoethical]

WOW!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 what if its a bungalow????
bungalow-mate sounds kind of unwieldy 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 guess well just have to be mates full stop

[Again with this shit.]

[enarms]

Yeah alright, I can go in for that

[cacoethical]

right then as your mate im duty and honour-bound to tell you i think youre probably already working too much to be managing the citys entire roster of medical professionals

[U sneaky lil shit.]

[enarms]

[ wow ]

As YOUR mate and a qualified medical professional, I advise you to come up with someone else who's going to do it before you start lecturing me about necessary tasks I shouldn't be taking on

[cacoethical]

i dont know the somewhat suspicious lot who brought us here and are keeping tabs on our every movement probably 😒😒😒😒😒 city officials???? the place people went to have sharp things removed from their squishy bits before we arrived????? the possibilities are practically endless i mean thats just the tip of the iceberg of possibilities

[enarms]

None of the above. Darma & co are hands off after the initial saving, I'm not interested in native med staff just the refugee base & that last one's the same as the first. It'd have to be another refugee, and nobody else seems to be quite as concerned as I am.

It's not really that big of a job anyway

surprise 2/2

[enarms]

Unless you mean the Sanctuary, in which case that's exactly what I'm here to bypass. Anyway, it's me or it's nobody.

AHH a surprise just moves this on down you saw nothing

[cacoethical]

if you say so, mr hang on i have to scroll back up

mr 'I'm not going to let any doctor types or anyone else go poking around where they're not invited'

thats an incredibly long name id consider changing it if i were you maybe mr 'sleeps occasionally' or mr 'goes out for a pint on the weekend'

'with or without a mate'

'mate optional'

that ones getting a bit long too

thanks and bless for covering for me & my surprise-inducing fuq up

[enarms]

Are you inviting me out for a pint

I'm there if you're paying

[ says the man who literally JUST explained that he's relatively speaking Loaded ]

[cacoethical]

ill have you know there once was a time i never had to buy my own pint much less anyone elses 😒😒😒😒😒😒 but i suppose as im both ageing and feeling terribly charitable i can agree to those terms

though mostly i was just saying that you could probably use a break i mean i never work any harder than i absolutely have to at anything and ive got along just fine so far

[enarms]

Shove off "aging". Jesus christ. [ listen here, you babyfaced bastard, ]

It's not really about how fine or otherwise I'll be. But noted. I'll nap more often and reconsider the number of friends I have who've decided they want to be my mum.

[cacoethical]

im older than i used to be i think that counts 😛😛😛😛😛 anyway soon ill be 40 and that DEFINITELY counts

[enarms]

Yeah alright you can stop typing now

[ LISTEN HERE, YOU BABYFACED BASTARD, ]

[cacoethical]

i CAN technically i suppose but i fail to see why i should 😋😋😋😋😋 how old can you possibly be anyway???? 34????? 35??????
