::03:: I don't want to cause you trouble

Um..

I kind of need a favor.

It's a long story, but I was at work as usual, but then I ended up chasing a cat around the marketplace. I'm pretty sure he was a stray, because he looked really hungry. But anyway, I kind of tripped and got a little scraped up.

It's not a big deal; I could probably take care of it myself, but I kind of don't have any supplies. So if I stopped by to see someone at the clinic, would that be okay?

You fell chasing a cat? It wasn't black was it?

Er I mean--the clinic is open. Why wouldn't it be ok? It's a free service and all.

No, it was brown with stripes. I'm not really superstitious, anyway.

Well, I guess that question was a little silly, but I don't know anyone who works there so I thought I'd ask first.

Hey. There's something to be said about the black cat superstition. Black cats are kinda creepy looking AND you can't see them in a dark. They're a lawsuit waiting to happen!

That's so cute. I mean, do you know the people who clean your house? Or the guy who fixes the pipes? You don't have to know any of us since we help anyone. Especially if it's just a few scratches.

There's things to be said about a lot of superstitions but that doesn't mean they're real. Not all black cats are going to hurt you.

Yeah, good point. But even if I don't really need to know who any of you are, I'd still like to at least know your name. That can't hurt, right?

I'm Promise.

Lets see what you think after you meet one in the dead of night in an alley.

Ah no?

I'm Genius. I'm an intern.

So cuts and bruises? That's it right? Nothing like a cranial trauma or anything? Bump to the forehead? Impaled by a branch?

I don't think that'll happen. I kind of don't go out when it's dark.

Nice to meet you, Genius!

If any of that happened, I don't think I'd be able to write too well. Just the scrapes, like I said.

Well maybe we'll have an earthquake and you'll have to go outside! Ha!

You're pretty perky for an injured person.

Nuts.

Right so just come on down and the receptionist will waive you right in, it's honestly empty in here.

[Somebody is bored.]

Why is that funny? If there's an earthquake, of course I'll go outside, but I don't think I'll be hiding in an alley.

It's just some scrapes!

Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes.

[About ten minutes later, Promise shows up at the clinic.]

Genius?

It wasn't haha funny it was one upmanship funny. Never mind.

Yeah boring.

Sure.

---

[Ok so what was with the perky person on the journals asking for permission to get access to medical? And Genius thought he'd seen it all. Still he was bored, he had hours to go before his shift ended and he got to go on his date with Animus so he hovered by the waiting room to see if the weird perky person would show up.]

"Promise?"

[He was only lightly mocking the other girl as he walked into room. She didn't look too bad--he could handle this case easily.

Although when Genius looked at her face he was startled somewhat. She looked..familiar. Sorta. The more he looked the more he wasn't sure...plus she was just a kid! A teenager--then again that meant nothing in this place considering he'd been a teenager himself a week ago.]

Hey you made it. That doesn't look too bad, I'll fix you up with the icky stingy stuff and a pretty band aid in no time.

[Yup. Still needed to work on bedside manner.]

Edited 2010-02-26 02:26 (UTC)

Yeah, that's me.

[If she caught Genius's slightly mocking tone, she ignored it, deciding there wasn't a point in getting mad.]

Wow, this looks like a nice place. I mean, nothing to get really excited about, but still nice.

[Promise smiled as she looked around at the clinic, missing Genius's startled reaction as he saw her.]

Yeah, like I said, I just scraped it. But it's annoying enough that I'd like it taken care of. And I don't mind if you have to use the stingy stuff on it.

[Maybe he's not the best doctor-type ever, but Promise thinks he's all right. After all, not everyone is the friendly slash cheerful type like she is.]

Personally I think it's a weird set up. But I do like the kiddie games in the waiting room. Nice touch.

[He waves her into one of the clinic's exam rooms]

It kinda defeats the purpose of coming here if I don't use the stingy stuff. Sorry. [He shrugs] I can give you a lollipop when its over, does that help? The cherry ones are good.

[He gestures for her to have a seat on the exam table while he snags a pair of gloves. First thing's first. Getting those scrapes washed.]

You know, you look kinda familiar. Have we ever met before?

Well, maybe, but when it's all that we have... I guess complaining doesn't do anyone any good.

[She walks into the nearest one and sits down on the examination table.]

I know that. If you don't use it, the scrapes won't heal correctly. I'm not too scared. [She smiles at his offer.] You're a nice doctor.

[She looks thoughtful for a second as she tries to think if they've met.]

I don't think so, but that probably doesn't mean anything because I haven't met very many people yet.

[The water stings on her scrapes a little but she tries to think about something else instead.]

[She gets a odd look for that comment. Nobody ever says he's a good doctor--it's pretty much agreed upon that he fails at the most mundane tasks.]

I--not really. I'm kinda just a clumsy intern compared to everyone else here.

[But now he's more gentle as he cleans her injuries.]

Then again half of the medics here can heal with a wave of their magical tingly hands. That's totally cheating! Will and I have to do things the old fashioned way, no laying of the hands here!

[He pauses as he gets a anti-bacterial salve to put on]

I swear you look familiar sorta. Are you always a teenager or were you hit with the shrink ray like some people. [He points to himself] Not affected this time.

Clumsy? I don't think you're clumsy. I think you're really good, intern or not.

Well, magic is cool, and so is healing with it, but I'm more used to people who are like... normal doctors, if you know what I mean.

[She continues thinking, but finally just shakes her head.]

I don't know. I'm pretty sure I've always been a teenager, but I really don't think I've seen you before. Maybe you're confusing me with someone else here?

Hey don't go jumping to conclusions, ya just met me.

[But she totally gets a smile for that.]

Ah so you're just like me, Simon and Derrick! Sometimes I feel like we're the only ones who can't shoot lasers out of our eyes or run around with swords strapped to our backs or have pink hair.

[He starts gently applying the salve and then a soft bandage]

Huh. Yeah I guess you're right. Weird.

Yeah, but why's that important? I think I can tell a good doctor when I see one...

[He gets a warm smile in return.]

Simon and Derrick? Are they your friends? And are there really people who can shoot lasers from their eyes?

Pink hair might be fun to have, but I don't think I could pull it off.

[She laughs at the image of herself with pink hair.]

Weird kind of describes this place, don't you think? I mean, it's not bad, and who knows what normal is anyway, but it's definitely not normal.

Gee now you're just gonna make me blush.

Simon is a medic here--he also goes by Will. Derrick is my twin brother. Honestly? I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

Naw red's a good look for you. What do you think? Could I rock blue hair?

[He mock poses.]

What's normal for us is inapplicable outside of Edensphere. In fact what do we know of normal? We're all memory-less.

[He finishes her bandage with a flourish and a tiny bow.]

There you are! One sufficiently wrapped injury. No more running after stray cats ok?
