DICTATION - 2 [VIDEO]

[drabsolutelynot]

Hello, everyone, I just have a brief announcement. 

[Rosen is sitting at his table in the clinic and if you think he might look a bit worse for wear its not just you. He's got bags under his eyes and his hair is sticking up in odd places from rubbing his fingers through it to try and massage away some of the tension in his scalp.]

I have unexpectedly found myself as one of the lead staffers here in the clinic, so I should introduce myself to any of you who are new or who I haven't met yet. My name is Dr. Lee Rosen, you can call me Lee or Dr. Rosen whatever you feel more comfortable with. I am a certified general physician as well as specialized in neurology and psychiatry, however due to personal reasons I am currently not taking any counseling patients. I am instead referring them elsewhere, there are other mental health professionals here who are highly qualified and ready to help so if you are interested in that kind of assistance please feel free to contact me for further information.

Other than that I try to make myself available in the clinic as much as possible for injuries or illnesses, so you can usually find me there.

[He sits up a bit in his chair before continuing]

I also need to check who is still on staff with the clinic. Kate left me some information but I would appreciate an informal roll-call if that is possible so that I have an idea of who is still around. I am also interested in hearing from anyone who might be eager to volunteer. If any of the new arrivals have medical training we can always use more help. 

And I think that is all I needed to say. So, thank you for your time.

[Hannibal looks...tired. Genial as always, but there's a weariness to him that suggests things are weighing heavily on him.]

Hello, Lee. I'm afraid I must apologize for being scarce. You may not know, but my friend and roommate, Will Graham, was murdered a couple weeks ago, when the door was last opened. I have been spending most of my time at Hope's temple, in expectation of his return. To...be entirely honest, I expected him rather more quickly than this.

[To the extent that the wear on Hannibal's face is not a carefully tailored facade, it is because of the growing concern that perhaps Will would not return.]

Will was...is...a friend from my previous life. He has also been very ill with bacterial encephalitis, which has required a great deal of care, more so than we have available in this place. Much of my time before his...death...had been devoted to doing what I could with the limited resources I had at my disposal.

As you may well imagine, I would appreciate it if you kept this information of Will's illness confidential. I am still happy to assist with the clinic...it may take some time before I can be entirely reliable, however. Until Will returns. Or...until it becomes clear he will not.

[He's shocked into silence for a long while. No. No he didn't hear anything about this. Not the murder and certainly not about Will's illness.]

Yes, I know Will Graham....but no I'm afraid I didn't know about this. I am very sorry to hear that.

[Lee bites his lip]

Of course, I'll keep all of this between us. How are you, um, how are you holding up?

[private video]

[tablewithoutpity]

[It's an expected question, and one that Hannibal notes with some curiosity is somewhat uncomfortable to answer.]

Will has been a constant in my life for some time. The idea that he might now have slipped beyond my reach is difficult, to say the least.

Re: [private video]

[drabsolutelynot]

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

[unknowable]

I'm at the clinic a lot. I've been helping out there for awhile. I don't really have formal training or anything, but I knew some first aid before I came, and I've been helping out for -

[He has to think about it. It's been maybe too long.]

Well, since the clinic started. More than a year. I've learned quite a bit since then.

Re: video

[drabsolutelynot]

Ah I see. So you would be an expert to go to about the clinic.

[Rosen smiles tiredly]

Can I ask your name? I'm afraid I've not gotten acquainted with everyone who comes in and out of this place yet.

[unknowable]

I guess since Kate's gone, I'm the one who's been here the longest. If there's anything I can help with, I will.

My name is Adam Parrish. Nice to meet you, sir.

[He's polite, good manners. Faint country accent that he's trying to minimize so he doesn't sound too much like trailer trash.]

Re: video

[drabsolutelynot]

[Oh. So THIS is the one]

Ah. I've, um, i've heard your name before.

[Ronan, specifically, demanded he keep an eye out for this one]

Its a pleasure to meet you, Adam. And I would be very grateful for any suggestions or advice you might have. I'd hate to be the reason this all fell apart

[He chuckles awkwardly, meaning that last bit as a self-deprecating joke]

[voice]

[circumitus]

Wait, the clinic has actual head doctors now?

...

[Considering their demographic, Rey can see why he wouldn't be taking on new patients. Not that she is considering -- things didn't end well with her last (and only) "therapist".]

Re: [voice]

[drabsolutelynot]

Mm, not the clinic itself, though they do some work out of the clinic. There are three of us. Myself, Dr. Lecter, and Dr. Sweets.

Are you maybe looking to get in touch with someone?

[voice]

[circumitus]

Not really. Don't have a great track record with shrinks.

["Shrink". But what's the difference?]

Re: [voice]

[drabsolutelynot]

I'm sorry to hear that, though I'm afraid its a common experience.

Was that, um, was that back in your world then, I'm assuming?

[Video]

[amos_moses]

Oh, good, we've needed actual doctors.

Now if only we could get a magical healer or two, we'd be set, far as injuries go.

[Amos is currently knee deep in the lake, and as he talks, and he gestures with a hand that spreads breadcrumbs far and wide. Around him the water dimples with hungry fishy mouth eating the largess he's providing.]

Re: [Video]

[drabsolutelynot]

Well I can't promise that any new doctors have shown up. So for the moment it might only be me

[Physicians, he means.]

But I am working on getting more healers involved. In fact, Asgore has agreed to join the staff. He healed me after my varren attack.

[Video]

[amos_moses]

Still, any doctor is better than a handful 'o folks who only know first aid.

Not sure I've met this Asgore.

[Amos tips his head, and shrugs, before glancing down at the water and promptly turning to wade out of it. As he does, he declares to the water:]

Oh no, you don't fool me, I know you eat meat, an' I ain't on the menu today, sorry.

Re: [Video]

[drabsolutelynot]

[For a moment Rosen mistakes the last comment for something directed at himself and he looks flustered]

I, um, I'm sorry?

[knifecollecting]

[Jo's been trying to check in with the clinic every once in a while, but somehow has missed Rosen. She misses Kate still, but she's glad someone at least is helping too.]

I was kinda helping Kate when things got bad. I have first aid experience.

Re: Video

[drabsolutelynot]

Well I'd be more than grateful if you'd be willing to lend a hand now. If its not too much to ask. I know everyone here has a lot on their plate.

Video

[knifecollecting]

I can't promise I'll be there every day but I'll help.

[survivorsguilt]

Hey, uh. I've never worked in the clinic, but I know basic first aid. Kinda forced to learn it, actually. So if you're ever desperate for help, I'm here.

Re: video;

[drabsolutelynot]

I appreciate that, thank you.

What, um, what is your name, miss?

[survivorsguilt]

Ellie. You said Doctor Rosen, right?

Anyway, I guess... just message me, if you ever need me.

[so_dark_a_road]

Dr. Rosen, I have no medical training but what with all the wars I've taken part in, I have a lot of experience with being what is now called a first responder. I'm also very strong, as you know. If I can lift piano components, then I can certainly lift injured persons and carry them to wherever help is.

So you might want to consider me a sort of ambulance service. Feel free to call on me at any time.

[drabsolutelynot]

[Rosen chuckles softly at the comment about piano pieces]

As always you are too generous, Curufin. But thank you. I'm afraid I may have to call upon that offer in the future.

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Curufin laughs, too. ]

And thank you, Dr. Rosen! It is you who are doing me a favor. I'm the restless sort. If I'm not busy, I'm not happy.

Oh, before I forget. If you give me a list of the supplies needed by the clinic, I can be on the lookout for them. I spend a lot of time scavenging for materials for my work, and that quest takes me everywhere in the city. And also, in the world I lived in before I came here, I built and maintained some medical equipment for that world's only doctor. So again, if you'll let me know what you need, I can attempt to provide it.
