[video - ask a gentern if zydrate is right for you.]

As backwards as this place is, at least you're not using coin. That kind of economy never made a lot of sense to me. You don't even really seem like you're bartering at all! That's more than a little strange.

[Or maybe he just thinks he deserves a lot, when he's this far away from his heart. Hmn. A possibility, to be sure.]

However, since that's the case, I really don't see what the point is in working for an organization like the clinic. Why would I want to go work for someone else when I've been doing just fine on my own for years? Where I'm from, I'm one of just two menders, and I've had plenty of practice.

[He never even completed his training, but shhh.]

Has anyone from your great clinic recreated half a brain before? I doubt it. I have. So feel free to stop by the better healer whenever you like. I'm usually around the library trying to find something that isn't garbage, if you've, I don't know, got your fingers chewed off, or something.

Which obviously means something to you.

[ First Wizard, Ozma? He's not going to ask. ]

To my understanding, for almost as long as anybody has been trapped here. Just short of eleven months.

Gee.

[ g e e . ]

That's almost a whole year! That's ridiculous! [Like, he should know there's not a lot to do about it, given the fact that he's traveled to different worlds before and knows it's complicated, but he's still not pleased.] I guess the defense squad makes a little more sense. Still irritating.

Yes, especially as it does seem to be tracking Earth's calendar.

[ In other words, as they clearly aren't on Earth, it would have been far more likely that this planet had a year with more or less days than 365. And it may yet. The cave simply replicates all that. The light isn't forthcoming, either; all they have is the Door's improbable yet increasingly apparent adherence to an Earth calendar. ]

Why is it ridiculous and irritating?

Please tell me that's rhetorical. How is everyone getting up in arms over someone else moving in on the healing front not irritating?

It wasn't, but only because you make leaps that aren't immediately clear. I was unaware of the source of your irritation.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but my comment had been less about the idea of you or any other person offering an alternative, but more the way you chose to do it. The entirety of the population was either here when the clinic was begun, or have always had its services available to them. Many may have had their lives saved.

Beginning your advertisement by insulting it was bound to gall.

Did I? I just thought I was offering proof as to why I'm better.

[His perception might be a little skewed because of extenuating circumstances.]

Abrasively.

[ He cannot believe he's sitting here advising on this. Then again, he's had to work with Newton for five years. At least this guy's sort of listening. ]

Didn't know everyone was so sensitive. I don't know why it matters either. Less pain and shorter recovery time. That should be all that matters, not my personality.

[sort of]

People are generally oversensitive and emotional. In this context, that may be why the concept of 'bedside manner' exists.

My bedside manner could be perfectly fine.

[He could also just be stubborn.]

Honestly, I don't care.

[ Either about how good one's bedside manner or this guy's in particular. ]

Fantastic.

[he's going to rip all his hair out, people are!! infuriating! when he doesn't have a connection to his heart, anyway.]

So were you at all interested in my services or did you just write to complain?

At the moment, I haven't any need. I texted laboring under a misunderstanding, as I believe I've already noted.

[ If indirectly, because he still thinks it was -- checking the network tag -- Mr. Chopper's fault.

Mr. Chopper.

Well, it's no worse than Mr. Deadpool. ]

We can leave it at that.

[listen... listen. his gramps was the tin woodsman. it's not weird.]

Bummer. Congratulations on the good health I guess.

[ Of course he was.

Little does Mr. Chopper know, Hermann's mouth twists, thin, neither bitter nor sour, but only due to the years and practicality cushioning it. Ah, the virtues of texting. He's disinclined to correct him. ]

I'm sure you'll find something to do. Ta ra.
