Dictation - x01 - [Video]

[drabsolutelynot]

[To put things delicately, it has not been an easy handful of days for Rosen, what with his team being falsely accused of being Red Flag while he personally had been kidnapped, had his face stolen, and on top of that the kidnapper decided to give him a shoddily done hair cut so his hair, while short, is oddly longer at different patches. Furthermore the possibility of a breaking point between Alphas and Non-Alphas being met violently in the near future weighs heavily on his mind. 

Therefore it goes without question that the abduction to a strange world and the welcome wagon of rust monsters and bewildering individuals armed to various degrees was the last thing he needed right now. 

And for this reason he spent the first several days primarily trying to find his bearings and to not get himself killed. 

But now a couple days have passed and he girds himself against his sense of exhaustion and disorientation to make an announcement.

For anyone who knew him before he disappeared, he looks significantly different. Clean shaven. Healthier. His clothes, while still english-professor-chic, are well kept.]

Hello...um...My name is Dr. Lee Rosen. 

[A pause as he takes a moment to remember exactly what it was he was going to say.]

I will keep this short and to the point. I am a doctor by profession, more specifically I am a neuropsychiatrist who specializes in patients with...well...unusual circumstances. But what I am guessing is more significant to our current circumstances as I understand them is that I am qualified as a physician. So...if there is need for one...I am...well...I am offering my services. 

[More out of a fear of letting himself be idle for too long in this bizarre place than out of a genuine sense of generosity or solidarity.] 

Aside from that, I have read the materials available to me about this place and I have already gone through the cycles of confusion and denial about the existence of this place to begin with so all I ask now is if you have any additional information you think someone new here should know...I'd be grateful. 

[An awkward nod]

Thank you.

(ooc: Rosen disappeared about a week prior to the intro log. So if you want your character to have noticed, please feel free.)

A doctor who specializes in people with unusual circumstances? Can you elaborate?

[Leo himself is from unusual circumstances, considering he's not even of the same species as anyone else here.]

[drabsolutelynot]

Well I can...though it might help me to know where to start if there was something specific you wanted to know...

[stealyoursoul]

[Might as well be blunt. No use is beating around the bush about this.]

Ever treated monsters?

[drabsolutelynot]

[There's a moment of hesitation]

I'd...have to ask you to define 'monster'....

[stealyoursoul]

Something not human. Something that eats them instead.

[Interesting that he refers to himself as something instead of someone. It says a lot about the way Leo views himself.]

[drabsolutelynot]

I would have to say 'no'. Those sorts of things don't exist outside of fiction where I come from.

[A thoughtful pause]

Can I ask why you'd like to know? It is a very specific question.

[stealyoursoul]

Well, there's a lot about my own biology and powers I don't know about. I've found something new out just in the time I've been here.

[He comes from a very small species and there had been no yardstick to measure what was 'normal' for them versus what was not.]

Might be useful to have a doctor around.

[drabsolutelynot]

Well...while I can't say I have any experience working with species other than my own, I certainly have experience working with symptoms and conditions previously thought to be inexplicable. So...if you were interested I may be able to assist you.

[stealyoursoul]

Good. My name is Leo Flynn. I'm what's known as a Sunai monster where I'm from.

[He looks completely human, but every time he looks at the camera directly, where his eyes should be are just two black smudges instead.]

[drabsolutelynot]

Nice to meet you, Mr. Flynn.

[The effect is nothing short of unnerving, and it shows in the awkward waver of his voice, but at the same time the phenomenon of Leo's eyes is not wholly different from some of the Alpha symptoms he's encountered.]

And what are the characteristics of a Sunai monster?

[stealyoursoul]

I don't eat human food. I eat the souls of sinners that have darkened their souls beyond the point of redemption.

[Y'know, cheery stuff like that.]

I'm pretty much invulnerable when I'm in my human-looking form.

[Though the scar running through his left eyebrow would suggest that this isn't always the case. Still, he's not about to spill all his secrets to the doctor just yet. He'll need to earn a level of trust first.]
