[It's really tempting to do this post in text but there's a few reasons why he decides not to, including the main point of this post that he intends to bury under some other things. So he offers the camera a small, hesitant smile of greeting before starting.]

Hey. I um... I hope everyone's doing okay after that whole... Thing. H-Has it um, worn off for everyone now?

[He hopes so; it seems to have for everyone he's talked to, but that doesn't necessarily mean much.]

On a less depressing subject, Em and I finished some more emojis. The new pack is here; all you have to do is download and install it like last time.

Also uh, we're working on a deal with Delight about getting like, good coffee at the bar, so... That's hopefully a thing, soon.

[They just all need a chance to recover from the event before they can really manage that whole thing. Especially since he can't exactly walk right now, which leads to the actual main point of making this post.]

I also wanted to um... I know there are like, some doctors and people with healing powers and whatever here, and I was hoping I could talk to one who might be willing to help out with something. So... Yeah.

[That's that. He seems to be considering if there's anything else he wants to add, but then decides against it and ends the feed.]

[ emojis are so great!! johanna sends chris 20 middle finger emojis. ]

[As expected. Have a gold star and canister of salt in return.]

[ a scowling emoji. what the fuck is the salt for...... ]

[He'll have to bring her up to date on slang. Or fill her in on old slang. However it works with timelines wtf.

Also he sends a smiling cat emoji.]

ugh thats the tackiest thing we arent fucking cats

Blame Josh; he asked for them.

I'm a healer. What is it you need?

Coffee sounds real good right about now.

You find a doctor yet?

[omg, MORE EMOJIS. Lilith sends a smiling cat, a star, and three heart emojis.

But onto the more serious things...] anyone help you with that knee yet?

[This isn't someone he recognizes so he guesses he's a recent arrival, not that that matters much other than that it's always interesting to meet new people here.]

Hi. I um... I-I hurt my knee before I came here a few months ago, and it was sort of okay until recently when I made it a whole lot worse. I uh, can't really use it at all right now.

[Also it really hurts but that's a secondary problem.]

of course he did that guy has no taste

Hm. I know I can help with the recent injury, and will have to see what I can do with anything older than that. [Magic is complicated, kids.]

[A pause. Oh dear, the dilemma.]

I suppose I'm going to have to come to you, aren't I?

Having known Josh for over ten years, I can attest to that being utterly and completely true ever since he was a kid.

Yeah, though to be fair coffee pretty much always sounds good to me.

I'm uh, talking to someone who can heal, yeah.

[He sends back a smiling emoji and one of the little skull emojis she'd requested.]

I'm talking to someone, yeah.

Yeah, I heard that it can be like, more difficult with older things sometimes?

[He hesitates at that response, trying to read Carlisle's reaction.]

You um... Don't feel obligated just because you replied; you don't have to do anything.

[He means it; he can definitely understand being nervous about meeting someone in this place that he doesn't know, and Chris knows that for some of the healers here it can be risky for them to use their magic in the first place, so he doesn't want anyone to feel they have to help if they don't want to.]

[have a skull surrounded by a pair of hearts.]

Oh good!! wrap it up if that doesnt totally take care of it and keep off it for a bit if you can.

stay safe chris. k?

Yeah, I've been grounded to my room for now, don't worry.

[He's being good and staying off his leg for now.]

I'll try, but no promises.

But thanks again. For everything.

[It's good Chris wasn't trying to guilt him; he does that plenty on his own. It's less about meeting new people and more about assuaging his own fears.]

No no no, I, ah. Probably should leave this apartment at some point, shouldn't I?

[Because the streets are safe now, right? Right?]

... It is safe to come out, right? Safe as it can be, at least. Less killers and whatnot on the loose?

[He definitely doesn't want to guilt him; he doesn't really want to bother anyone about this, since he's the idiot who messed up his leg in the first place. He just can't get away with ignoring it any longer.

And Chris can definitely empathize with those fears.]

I uh... Honestly I'm not totally sure. My friends are back to normal so I think so, but um... There's no rush, so.

[If he wants to give it a few more days, that's totally fine. And he has to ask...]

Did you uh, just get here this month?

[Carlisle fiddles with his phone a moment, then takes it with him as he gathers a few things.]

Is it that apparent?

[He offers a small, friendly grin.]

I've just been here awhile so I like, know of most people, even if we haven't talked before.

I see.

[He sets the phone down to straighten his tabard. He's still working on getting some of the blood stains out, as a few, faded ones are visible on the right-hand side.]

I'm Carlisle Longinmouth.

[He notices the stains but doesn't think much of them; if Carlisle is a healer, then that he might've gotten bloody isn't much of a surprise.

Though that does remind him that he needs to figure out how to get blood out of his jeans after the incident during the event. Ugh.]

I'm Chris. Nice to meet you and all that, even though this place is kind of... Not great.

i don't know if i should feel more sorry for you or him
