2.9/ text, locked/ follow your dreams to a place

[dedikated]

locked to all clinic staff, nick valentine, curufin;

( God, but actually writing these words feels strange, no matter how necessary she knows them to be. With the work on The Door and its Fragments, with Carlisle's health, all these things which are shifting her attention, there's really only one thing she can do now. )

I'm leaving the clinic.

( There. They're out. )

Will help if needed in future.

( After all, who knows what the future in Hadriel will hold? )

George?

[ Maybe that would be fine? She's done paperwork before, and can handle more responsibility than even she thinks. Not the best choice interpersonally, maybe, she can be abrasive and argumentative and angry... hmm... they don't need a Leader the same way the Guard does, so he's debating talking to her about it before giving his unconditional support when the second message comes in.

He blinks at it dumbly for a moment before replying. ]

Me? I guess I've been around a long time... I could keep it running, at least. Handle the workers and supplies. The rest, though, what's the word you used? Administration?

( Well, Kate can't say she's always been the peacekeeper of things in the city, but she's managed. Still, it might be nice for the clinic to get a breath of fresh air and a change of management styles. )

Yes. Keep the guard supplied and informed. Stay on top of staff locations, respond to events when necessary. Organise first aid courses. Things like that.

[ Keep the guard supplied and informed... he'd known Henry much more closely than Nick but the latter seemed easy enough to communicate with. He already personally responds to events, sending out messages to the on-call staff sounds easy enough. He'd like to do more first aid classes, maybe get them more help, was wondering about talking to Kate about that in the first place... that all sounds more than doable.

It's the organization of multiple sites -- do they currently schedule people on all islands? he'd want to if they're all being indicated as places to go for help, but they're definitely too shorthanded to do so right now -- and potentially having to wrangle existing staff that worries him, as he's not a particularly authoritative figure, but.

When his response finally comes, he's fairly confident in it. ]

I can do it. I want to, although I may have to delegate a bit. And should probably ask if anyone has an objection or thinks they're better suited.

( It's tricky, at times. She would have loved to have built dedicated clinic buildings on each island — they'd be useful even when the city was back in one piece — but the scale of a project like that...

Well, it was enough rebuilding the clinic and the guard headquarters after the invasion. Not surprising she never did get around to that particular plan. )

Good. If you need anything, I'm here.

[ Getting materials to build anything at all has always been a struggle of scavenging and bargaining, one that it seems other groups have foregone at the expense of the city at large. Not the best plan, even if they had the labor for such a big project. Fixing up unoccupied spaces on the other islands will have to remain good enough.

Pell thinks about that, if there's anything specific about the job he doesn't already know, at least in the abstract. He knows where their records are. Where the staff schedule is posted, their on call list for emergencies, is familiar with the helpers for supplies and security. After two and a half years, he should know what's done to run the place, but... ]

I'm sure questions will come up along the way. For now I'll just jump in, I think, call a meeting... thank you, Kate. For all your work.

Good luck.

( He's got the right idea. And she doesn't think he'll need luck, because the staff have always been good, but she wishes it anyway.

It's going to be strange, not being there any more. But it's for the best. )
