[action]

[So everyone says their powers are gone, but it's not something that he can just take on faith, not with his power specifically. So, obviously, as everything's building up, he should test it. Somewhere far from the center of town. Just in case.]

[So that's what leads him to the woods on the edge of town, standing there in anticipation. He breathes a couple times before figuring it's got to happen eventually, focuses his energy and his emotions]

[and just lets out a huge yell.]

[phone]

[He hesitates after picking up the phone, but it's only for a second; it's not like talking on here is going to make anything worse.]

...So, with all the stuff that's going on here, I thought it might be... helpful... to offer up what I could. I'm a doctor, nothing fancy, but I can pitch in in an emergency, if anyone needs it. I'm sure there are other people here too who can do something, maybe we can coordinate and make this a little less shitty.

[ From whatever tree he's standing next to ]

See? Totally fine, doc.

Re: action

[hasacondition]

...Yeah, I guess...

[and he trails off, still expecting something-- someone-- to happen]

...it's really gone.

Re: action

[pursuitofcappiness]

It's really gone.

Come on, you're gonna be hungry by the time we walk back to town.

[hasacondition]

Sorry I made you come all the way out here.

Filtered back to Dr Banner.

[ooeeooahah]

Ah, good to hear! We've got a medic's list, but it needs updating again. Dr Higa, here - psychiatrist with a side of ER trauma training. Are you a GP?

[hasacondition]

Great, I figured there'd be something like that. Dr. Banner, uh... nuclear physicist, actually. Long story.

[ooeeooahah]

We can probably use those as well, Doctor Banner. Where are you? I can meet you there or someplace else to give you the list I have.

[wolfishsurvivalist]

Another doctor? [She sounds interested in this, and there's a rhythmic thumping sound on the other end of the phone now.]

Well, I'm not going to lie, we always seem to need more of those.

[hasacondition]

I can't really say I'm surprised. This seems like the sort of place that'd need them.

[wolfishsurvivalist]

Well, between the horrific event of the month and the people that just seem to attract trouble, we do have a bit of a problem without them.

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[And the yelling attracts this guy. Blue haired sharp toothed teenager.]


Dude.

You okay?

[hasacondition]

[Oops, maybe it wasn't as far from town as he thought.]

...Yeah, fine.

...Sorry.

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Mart starts stepping in closer.]

Ya sure?

Cuz it sounded like you were screaming like a maniac.

[ action ]

[electrowhipit]

[ Shouting? Oh no! Clearly Jolt should come check it out! And by that I mean he comes tearing around a corner as a car, transforms, and looks around wildly for a second before his optics fall on Bruce. ]

Are you okay?

[hasacondition]

[HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT--]

...Jolt?

--Yeah, I'm fine, sorry, I...

[distracted by interesting alien lifeform sorry]

[electrowhipit]

You were just yelling for no reason? [ Jolt quirks an optic ridge, but settles down to a crouch. He knows Bruce must be curious- everyone is. ]

You scared the scrap out of me. I thought you were being attacked by a bear or something!

Phone

[theverymodel]

Ran clinic on Omega. Local resources limited by improvisation always possible. SOmeone has to.

[hasacondition]

Sorry, Omega?

...It's good to hear either way.

[theverymodel]

Space station. Details not relevant at this stage.

[noluckduck]

[Unfortunately, Bruce isn't the only one who likes wandering off into quiet places. Of course, Clover is now coming to the conclusion she may have chosen poorly; the woods are really kind of counter-intuitive to her purpose.

But among the unbearable chattering of drone squirrels and birds, the yell makes her rush to find the source.

... After discerning it was just that guy from the other day making that noise rather than just, say, an axe murderer, she approaches him, hands in her pockets.]

This place gettin' to ya that fast?

[hasacondition]

[He laughs nervously, scratching the back of his head]

...Yeah, I guess you can say that.

Sorry, I didn't realize anyone was out here.

[noluckduck]

Yeah, not a lotta people come by here.

Y'know, I don't think anybody's gonna mind if ya feel like punchin' a drone, or somethin' like that.

[voiceofauthority]

Good, we'll probably need it.

[hasacondition]

That's not really reassuring, but it's what I was expecting, so.

[voiceofauthority]

There isn't much that's reassuring in this hellhole.
