[Martha looks annoyed, but otherwise taking the whole thing in stride.]

Right. So until we get out of here, looks like we have to make do. Before I start figuring out a clinic I was wondering if there were any other medical doctors around.

Hi. Yeah. Okay. Since you're talking medical stuff. I was, like, dead or something back there and now I'm here and alive, so... Is there something I should know about? Like, am I immortal? Or can I still eat candy? Stuff like that.

[notrosesshadow]

You came back from the dead? I... You don't normally come back I take it.

I think you're still safe eating candy. I don't know about the rest.

I'm Dr. Martha Jones.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

I'm Elle Bishop.

And yeah, but there's a first time for everything.

... What do I do now?

[notrosesshadow]

I would suggest not testing your immortal theory. It'd be quite a drag if it turned out you were still mortal. As for the rest, talk to people? Figure out what you can about this place.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

[Elle groans and looks around as if expecting the people who can help her to have magically appeared in her room.]

Okay.

... I won't test the immortal theory, at least. Dying wasn't fun the first time.

[notrosesshadow]

If you need anything, by all means call.

[primogen_vampirate]

Doctor Mina Barrett, my dear. Surgery and hematology.

Who is this?

[notrosesshadow]

Dr. Martha Jones. Trauma mostly.

[No she can't tell you that she's CMO of a secret organization that deals with aliens. Sorry]

[primogen_vampirate]

Huh. I can't remember the last time I met a medical doctor who was a woman.

How marvelous.

[notrosesshadow]

Really? It's actually becoming quite common where I'm from.

[primogen_vampirate]

I don't think it's a question of where you're from, dear. I think it's more of a question of when.

Have you settled into housing yet? I just discovered an abandoned one. I've been trying to salvage anything that could pass for medical supplies. Not much of a stockpile, but thankfully, whoever last lived here enjoyed sewing.

[notrosesshadow]

Yes you're very correct. When is the proper term. And in that vein, I am assuming you come from a time that women doctor's are not very common? [Note that Martha does not seem at all surprised that Mina could be from a time other than the 21st century]

I have settled in, yes. I've not done any stockpiling or looking yet as I wanted to check and see that there were other doctors here first.

((OOC: My family is in town for the weekend so I'm going to be slow until Monday))

[primogen_vampirate]

1932, darling. Chicago.

I've just ransacked this house of mine. There's some sewing equipment and a few sharp knives. A bottle of aspirin. Nothing extraordinary. Doctor Banner is apparently doing likewise.

((OOC: Have fun!))

[greenisnteasy]

Hi. I hope you don't mind if I barge in here, but I figure we ought to start up some doctorly solidarity. I'm Dr. Bruce Banner, more GP and medical researcher than anything else.

[primogen_vampirate]

Doctor Banner. Agent Coulson told me to contact you. I see you beat me to the punch.

[greenisnteasy]

I'm quick like that. Any reason he told you that, except for our both being doctors?

[primogen_vampirate]

Discussion of setting up a clinic.

If we're here for the long haul, I think it best to have an infrastructure. Don't you?

[greenisnteasy]

Definitely. If you or Dr. Jones have an itch to be our esteemed chief of medical, that's fine with me. I'm used to working on my own, so I can be a leader or a follower as needed.

[primogen_vampirate]

While my ego may enjoy the stroking, I may not be the best candidate.

It seems I'm about eighty years out of date, dear. The last thing I remember, it was 1932.

[greenisnteasy]

Dr. Bruce Banner. I'm into the nuclear applications of medical equipment on human health, but I'm good at runny noses and broken bones too.

[notrosesshadow]

Dr. Martha Jones. Trauma mostly. Nuclear applications? That's as specific a field as any I've heard.

[greenisnteasy]

Sure. Radiation, all that fun stuff. I picked up my MD while I was getting my PhD in nuclear physics. Lately I've been doing some volunteer work as a doctor in third world countries though, so I'm pretty familiar with undersupplied field clinics.

[notrosesshadow]

Oh good. I actually spent quite a bit of time in thirld world countries. I was hoping I wasn't the only one with that experience.

[Because third world countries is the best way to explain traveling the world in post apocalyptic Earth.]

[greenisnteasy]

[Bruce is just trying to make sure he gives a semi-accurate background of himself that leaves out how his "volunteer work" was just a way to feed himself while being on the run from the American government.]

Nope. What parts? I was mainly in a few places in Latin America and then India.

[notrosesshadow]

I circumnavigated the globe. Bits and pieces of Africa, Middle East, India, other areas of Asia, Latin America... It was an aggressive program.
