Martha's 3rd - Video/Action - Day 98

[notrosesshadow]

[To anyone who has been to the clinic when it was still there, that's where you'll see Martha when the video opens up.]

In an attempt to be of some use around here, I'm opening up the clinic again. I have my credentials from Royal Hope Hospital in London circa 2008. I also have experience treating non-humans thanks to some travel in both time and space. Most recently, I have gained experience as a field medic.

For anyone who has been seeing Dr. Barrett as your physician while here on this island, you may keep seeing her. But more doctors are always helpful.

If you have any questions or would like to sit for a physical, you may talk to me here or come visit the clinic. If not, that's perfectly fine too.

[Of course, baseline physicals would be much better, but she's not going to push anyone. Martha wants to be trusted above anything else.]

I think I'm due a physical, doctor.

[Ignore him, maybe he'll go away.]

[notrosesshadow]

Well, that was a rather quick response.

[If he sounded serious, she might have believed him. She's not sure she wants him in the clinic. But she can't discriminate against every asshole the place has.]

If you're absolutely serious, you're welcome to stop by.

Nothing wrong with being eager, is there?

[Yes, in this case. There really is.]

How serious I am depends on how serious your physicals are. Are we talking Madonna and 'let's get', or more like seriously invasive medical procedures? I can deal with mildly invasive and hey, I'm an adventurous guy, a little pain isn't all bad, but is this the kind of thing that could be seriously traumatic?

Well, hello! I don't believe we've spoken yet. [Balthazar smiles into the feed. (Martha, you're just collecting the creeps today.) He's not quite the troll his housemate is, though.]

Actually, I'm glad to hear the clinic will be running. Is there anything you need in the way of supplies?

Re: Video

[notrosesshadow]

Hullo! I'm Martha Jones.

Do you have medical equipment hidden somewhere? Because we could honestly use a bit of everything.

Re: Video

[tryingitall]

I'm Balthazar. Charmed to meet you! And best of luck, we're a suspicious lot here.

[He shakes his head.] Not that I'm aware of, but I'm happy to roll bandages. I've had some recent lessons in medicinal plants, as well. I've been doing some foraging. If there's anything you want to stock, I'll gather it if I see it.

Do you know much about tiger attacks? Or rather, the resulting injuries from them?

Re: Video

[notrosesshadow]

Not tigers specifically, but other animals yes.

[And suddenly her gaze is much more penetrating.]

Has someone been mauled by a tiger?

Re: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

As a matter of fact, yeah, I was, awhile back.

[There's a distinct note of sheepishness in his voice.]

Brilliant! You met Mina, then? I figured you two would get on.

Re: audio

[notrosesshadow]

Yes, I called her for permission to open up the clinic again. Didn't want to step on her toes.

[nevermindtherunning]

Naaahhhh! I think she'd benefit from the collaboration, and would enjoy someone to bounce ideas off of in the medical world.

[bluesrat]

I... don't have much to trade or anything, but I'm having trouble shaking this cough, and I... well. I feel like I've been hit by a truck, but Balthazar seems to think I was abducted and returned, so I guess that's probably all that is.

[notrosesshadow]

Trading's not an issue.

[Martha hadn't even thought of payment. As far as she was concerned, everything was free.]

If you stop on by, I can take a look at it for you. Make sure it's not something worse.

[bluesrat]

[There's a lot of goodwill and helping each other out, in this town, but he prefers not to assume.]

Thanks. I... guess I'll head over. You're doing a great favor to the community.

[ Have one tiny, annoyed, bleach blonde demon looking less than pleased. She's better than she was, but still not at one hundred percent. ]

Don't suppose you have any magical little pills, potions and cures for the equivalent of a chemical burn to the gullet do you?

Re: [ video ]

[notrosesshadow]

Nothing magical, no.

May I ask how you acquired chemical burns to the throat?

[video]

[bostonhowler]

You're used to nonhumans?

[She's interested.]

Re: [video]

[notrosesshadow]

Yes. I've been to a number of different planets.

[ Oh hi doctor. The archangel of healing is listening. ]

Those are excellent credentials in this place.

((Meet all the angels!))

[notrosesshadow]

I'm glad I at least have 'em. It sounds like people get hurt plenty.

[video]

[burnburnburn]

I see you've settled in quickly.

[The good humour is edged by an eagerness he can't quite hide]

When you travelled though space, did you ever visit Gaia?

Re: [video]

[notrosesshadow]

I don't know if settled in is quite the term I'd use, but I need to do something.

We did not visit a Gaia. Is that where you're from?

[mentis]

Ah Martha, there's more to you than I first assumed. [ A smile. ] I should have been able to tell, you have a certain fire about you.

Re: ( video )

[notrosesshadow]

Yes, I do look rather run down and shabby. Was sort of caught up saving the world before coming here.
