[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.

So basically we can't even trust our senses.

Sounds about right. Why go through the trouble of kidnapping everyone and only do it half-way?

[ooeeooahah]

That being said, we honestly could use all hands for healing. What have you had the most practice in?

[hasacondition]

I've been working off the grid lately, in areas without much of a facility set up. It tends to be illnesses, that sort of thing, but I've got a lot of practice with first aid.

[ooeeooahah]

Field work is what we get, for the most part.

[ She gives him a smile, one that actually is intended to be reassuring. ]

There is a hospital here, but unless one of us is assigned there and on duty, it's pretty useless. If there's someone that needs it, are you okay with treating them here, or would you prefer to do house calls?

[hasacondition]

Yeah, it seems like that sort of place.

[and he smiles back pretty nervously, all things considered, though he's pretty nervous in general]

It shouldn't be a problem either way. Better to avoid moving people, right?

[ooeeooahah]

[ She nods, wincing a little. ]

Yes... sorry, but - you're broadcasting a bit. Is there anything I can help you with? You seem a little on edge.

[hasacondition]

[He frowns, and if anything just gets a little more uncomfortable]

Sorry, but... do you have to do that?

[ooeeooahah]

[ She holds her hand up in apology. ]

I'm a physician, and a guardian. If I can help, I have to try.

[ This time, her bow is less Shibuya and more Eiheiji. ]

There's probably pieces of you missing, but if you can, find your equilibrium until they are returned.

[hasacondition]

[and he scoffs out a laugh, amused and bitter]

Trust me, that's the last thing my equilibrium needs.

[ooeeooahah]

[ She gives a small wince at the acidity. ]

Then it might be a good idea for you to not open anything mailed to you, here. But if you need... want help, let me know.

[hasacondition]

Right. Well, thanks for dropping this stuff off. It looks really helpful.

[if it sounds like he's being distant and avoidant, it's because he is]

[ooeeooahah]

[ If the patient is not a danger to themselves or others, it's best if they are receptive for the treatment to work. Ilsa nods, and withdraws to the door. ]

I hope to see you around, Doctor.

[hasacondition]

[he feels a little guilty immediately, but it's better off this way]

...Yeah, you too.
