[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.

Well, you're a doctor. Can't you write... a prescription, or something?

[ He knows you're not that kind of doctor, but let's fucking be real here. No one cares. ]

Re: action

[hasacondition]

I don't think the people in charge would care even if I did have a medical degree.

Guess we're getting that penicillin. Is there anything you need me to get for you?

Re: action

[hasacondition]

[he sighs briefly, all business as he goes through what he'd need]

Basic first aid supplies, bandages, antibiotics, the 1950s version of Neosporin--

Uh, stop me if something doesn't sound familiar, because chances are we won't be able to find it.

Re: action

[pursuitofcappiness]

I understood everything except Neosporin. What is that?

Re: action

[hasacondition]

Name-brand disinfectant. What are you used to putting on cuts?

Re: action

[pursuitofcappiness]

Up until the war, we used honey. I think during the war we used hydrogen... peroxide? I don't know, I didn't ask the nurses. Are you sure this neosporin stuff hasn't been invented yet?

Re: action

[hasacondition]

I'm not sure, but we'll probably have better access to anything you're actually familiar with.

Re: action

[pursuitofcappiness]

We should try to find your Neosporin, because I've got shelves stocked full of honey.

Re: action

[hasacondition]

Neosporin's a lot easier to carry around.

I wonder if we have access to the hospital supplies at all.

Re: action

[pursuitofcappiness]

Not if we tell them what we're there to get supplies for.

We might have to steal it. It's a good thing no one would think twice about me needing to be in a hospital.

Re: action

[hasacondition]

[that catches him off guard, and he laughs briefly]

That's one way of looking on the bright side.

Re: action

[pursuitofcappiness]

What do you say? I've got an appointment tomorrow morning.

Re: action

[hasacondition]

Are you sure that's not just going to make you worse?

Re: action

[pursuitofcappiness]

Pretty sure.

80% sure.

Re: action

[hasacondition]

...I'll try to keep my schedule open.

Re: action

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'll be back tomorrow morning.
