[ Not long after getting to the Welcome Diner and gathering his thoughts, he flips on the device to begin what will surely be one of the hardest things he's ever had to do. He hasn't bothered to clean himself up much but, with Daniel's help, he probably doesn't look like a serial killer anymore. Still, it's obvious the man has been through hell. ]

My name is Ethan Chandler. I-- [ He swallows, then begins again. ]

Last night, something wicked prowled through the streets and attacked several residents. It was me. I don't look as I did last evening and, despite what I said, I can't recall who I encountered or what events took place. I change, you see, when the moon is full. I can't control myself; God knows I've tried.

[ He lets out a sharp exhale, grimacing when it aggravates some of his injuries, but powers through. ]

Ever since my arrival, I've done what I could to make sure I couldn't hurt anyone, taken precautionary measures to restrain myself so this wouldn't happen. But it did. Something happened last night, and I made a mistake that put people here in harm's way. The blame rests entirely upon my shoulders and mine alone.

I'm not deserving of your forgiveness, but I'll ask for it. If you encountered the wolf last evening, please, reach out to me here. The phones are impersonal and I would prefer to extend my apology in person, to look you in the eye when I give it.

[ Now, to another pressing matter: ]

Mr. Gray and Miss Ives were present before and after what happened. I can't contact either one of them. I've tried.

No, I assume you don't. Apologies for my terse tone, I'm just trying to prepare for the inevitable possibilities here.

Unfortunately, your answer leaves much to be desired. [Daan does find the man's situation unenviable, and he can imagine how difficult it must be, but it is frustrating as well.] I have a liquid sedative I have arranged for another patient with a similar problem. Is this something you have tried, or would be willing to try?

...I see. So the memory is hazy for you, it sounds like.

Then I recommend we try the sedative I've arranged. I will provide you with instructions. Beyond that, I heavily recommend you continue to make preparations. Though you hardly need me to tell you that, do you?

...Mm, all understandable assumptions. I can't say I entirely blame you for not being forthcoming about it. We all have our demons, sometimes more literal than others. We cannot take back what was, only attempt to prepare for the future.

Though I suppose it means it's time to keep track of the moon cycle on my calendar properly. Shame that.

No, I imagine there is very little that can assure your conscience. I don't envy your position, even if I might mildly relate to it. You... become someone or something that isn't yourself, and have no control. Yet you feel at fault regardless.

In any case, simply tell me where I can have the tonic delivered and I'll have it done. And don't worry about the moon cycle tracking, my irritation with that has nothing to do with you, oddly enough as that might sound.

...Too true. I might also suggest seeing if there's someone among us that can help arrange a proper cage for your beastly version on those nights in particular. I would normally suggest Kaveh, but the man is spread thin as it is; surely someone else can aid you in this endeavor.

For now, I'll bring you a bottle. It should last you awhile since you only have one night to be worried about, so there is that at least.

...Thank you. I'll address him shortly.
limbical: (ok as you can see)

[personal profile] limbical 2023-12-01 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Understandable.

Do what you can to prevent this in the future and we'll consider it even. The less people I have to mend to, well then consider me a satisfied doctor. [quietly screams on the inside]

Hopefully no one is so foolish as to try to fix themselves. If nothing else, I hope my classes are coming into play here...

Then that is all I can ask of you. I know this is not something you wish you had.

Oh, I completely believe you. [Daan sighs.] I'm running first aid classes during the weekend, to try to prepare everyone as much as possible in case they're stubborn and don't want to come to my clinic.
limbical: (makes you wish you weren't born)

I absolutely am, so I expect to see you there.
