I thought I would share this for the benefit of new arrivals and our more veteran individuals. So a bit of repetitive information for some of you, but I'm sure you'll forgive me.

Call me Daan. I am a doctor. There are a couple of others here as well if I'm not to your preferences, but I do currently a temporary location arranged if you need medical assistance. I will include it after my message is finished. We're working on something a bit more permanent, but due to the nature of the city and how it resets, our choices are scarce. So we'll make do for now.

Ideally, I'd like to perform a series of physicals for anyone who is willing. Just basic things to keep track of in case something happens. Blood pressure, height, weight, the same old same old. Obviously I wouldn't dream of forcing anyone to come if they don't want to, but consider it encouraged.

Now then. Let me know if any of you have any questions for me, and I'll do my best to answer.

It's good to know there is another doctor around that can help people if we need it. That's one of the things I've been worried about.

[They need doctors. He totally saw a boy arrive with his clothing just covered with blood... Anyway.]

I wouldn't mind coming in for a physical. It's been a while and ... I do have a few questions.

[limbical]

Fortunately, we have a few capable hands around here. Ideally, no one will need us, but I realize that's not very realistic.

Of course. Just let me know when is a good time for you, but I'm willing to answer whatever I can. What's on you mind?

[fullgauntlet]

It's better to know that there are doctors able to help here too.

[Excuse him while he gets the nerve to put his video chat on.]

I can come in ... tomorrow? I've just been wondering... I haven't been able to sleep. And my appetite comes and goes. Are there detriments to having long-lasting... insomnia?

[This kid looks tired af.]

[limbical]

[hey wtf. this kid definitely has seen better days!!]

Lack of sleep can impact a great deal. Any regular person needs proper amount of sleep.

[Not that Daan is one to talk but "do as I say, not as I do" here.]

You're welcome to come in tomorrow, of course. What is your name?

[nutbuckets]

serious question
can you remove bombs from people's necks?

[fullgauntlet]

[Big ol' bags under his eyes and looking like he's been through a war with no sleep, he's fine. Mostly.]

Is there... Any easy way to get myself to sleep better? I'm assuming sleeping pills or something?

[Boy.]

My name is Izuku. Izuku Midoriya.

[limbical]

That might depend.

How big is the bomb, and is it actually in your neck or attached to the exterior?

[nutbuckets]

it's small, they stuck it in there with a needle, went in pretty deep, right in the back
I'd really rather not have it in there, you know?

[limbical]

Izuku. A pleasure.

[He sighs softly. He hates seeing that on a kid's face. It makes him think of other, too young people who were forced to be soldiers in a wretched war. So it's not unfamiliar to Daan. If anything, he feels like he's going to end up frustrated on this kid's behalf.]

I would feel better if I asked you some additional questions when you stop by. Yes, we can get you sleeping pills or other alternatives, but I'm concerned about the core issue here. But we'll talk when you come in. Is that all right with you?

[limbical]

Can't imagine a lot of people would want it there at all, so I get it.

That's a lot smaller than I anticipated. I can at least do a preliminary examination for you, but a surgery like that is gonna be rough without anesthetics. But we can talk about that in detail. You mind stopping by my office sometime?

[nutbuckets]

oh sure, why not?
I'm a tough girl, I can probably handle it

so when d'you want me to come over, doc?

[limbical]

I'm hoping you're right.

Let's do an examination tomorrow at noon. I'll ask you some questions, and then you can decide if you want to go through with this or not.

Might I note your name, miss?

[nutbuckets]

about being tough? I promise, I've gone through some pretty tough shit, I can handle it

I'll be there, doc

oh, and I'm Harley Quinn! nice to meetcha!

[limbical]

[harley quinn

seriously

Well, why not at this point]

A pleasure, Harley. I'll look forward to meeting you.

[nutbuckets]

[Oh does someone know of her? Hehe.]

I'll look forward to it too

audio, @junpei

[coolerjunpei]

I'll come in for a physical.

[Of course he will, it's his trademark by now to go all in for Community Efforts, and if that includes going to the doctor, well sure!! ...But also,]

You think you'll be able to tell if they did anything to us? Like... drugs?

[limbical]

Good. Come in tomorrow at 10:00am. I'll be expecting you.

Mm, that depends. It's not like I have a lab that I can run tests with, but an examination might prove helpful in some way. What if someone performed surgery on you while you were unconscious before you got here in a place you wouldn't think or could check?

Just an idea. Not something to take seriously, but you get my meaning hopefully. I'd like to be able to do bloodwork, but that's just not going to happen with our limited equipment and resources.

[coolerjunpei]

Well, Don looked at my head, but she didn't see anything... [They were checking for chips-in-the-brain incisions, but without having to shave all his hair off, soooo--

yeah, he's been thinking about unconscious surgery for like a month.]

What do you need for bloodwork, anyway? Microscopes?

text | @stray

[kampfgeist]

my labs look great doc 👍🏻

[limbical]

We can check other areas. Just to be sure.

Equipment we'd find usually in a hospital, ideally. Needles and syringes. Enzymes. If otherworldly abilities were more reliable, then we could probably skip some of that, but I'm afraid we're out of luck.

[limbical]

Get a load of this cheeky guy.

[He does sound amused.]

I figure I probably don't have to worry about you as much. Now... your friend, on the other hand. Did you two have some kind of disagreement?

[coolerjunpei]

Back of the neck? Back of the neck's popular. Maybe the wrist.

[You know like in movies. anyway, he was going to suggest just finding a microscope, so oh! Okay. Not that. Ahem.

Abilities, though... huh.]

Did you know anyone before who could do blood tests by looking at someone?

1/2

[kampfgeist]

2/2

[kampfgeist]

you set his wrist huh
a disagreement... is a way to put it, yeah

[ is that how badou described it? "a disagreement"? ]

[limbical]

Sure, after he left it somewhat untreated for a couple of weeks. Honestly, he'll be fine if he doesn't do anything stupid with it.

...Look. I won't bother you to tell me about it unless you want to, Heine. It's your business, and I was pretty fucked up after the bank shit, too. But I'll ask one thing: are you two square now? Kiss and make up or whatever?
