On a professional level:
unless it's an emergency, I'm not currently handling patients at this time
so if you have a general check up or you're worried about a rash or something seek out one of the other doctors
great we've got that squared away

Non-professional question:
what's waiting for you back in your home?
Family, friends, saving the world, a hot date?
just a bit of curiosity on my side
Cheers

The person I love. We had just found each other again when I was brought here. All the more reason to resent this place.

[limbical]

Ah love

i can see why you're eager to leave. love is a rare thing.

[deathoftheauthor]

Far too rare, indeed. This place would be more bearable if he were here, but I can't truly wish for it. He would be miserable.

What of yourself?

[limbical]

I have a meeting to attend to with an old associate.
that's about it.

[deathoftheauthor]

You don't sound terribly sentimental about it.

[limbical]

im not sentimental about him no matter what he implies to get under my skin.

[deathoftheauthor]

( oh dear. how terribly familiar. )

I don't wish to presume anything, but I regret to inform you that I once felt much the same way.

[limbical]

fuck please dont even suggest such a thing. he'd revel in it if he was here

trust me. you wouldn't imply that if you met him. he just has something i need.

[deathoftheauthor]

It wasn't an implication, only a reflection.

In any case, that sounds exasperating. Is he the sort of person who takes pleasure in having something that you need?

[limbical]

Yeah fair enough.

sort of.
think of it as like
a shitty merchant. a charismatic salesman who comes off as real personable, but also dangles the thing you want so badly in front of you that you'd beg.
but you have to make a deal with him.
It's a bad idea
but what else are you gonna do to get the thing you want

[deathoftheauthor]

A deal with the devil, so to speak.

[limbical]

something like that, probably.

[deathoftheauthor]

Could you get what you need from him if he were here?

I'm sorry for prying. I'm not certain why I'm asking, really. I just wonder whether the ones in charge of this place know such things about us.

[limbical]

it's fine. I can't fault someone else's curiosity anyway

I think that if somehow he were to show up, he could provide what i need.
but i dont know if he would do it until he was sure he could get what he wanted from me.
