Greetings to all Hadriel denizens, and a welcome to those of you who have only recently arrived. My name is Dr. Hannibal Lecter. My colleague Dr. Lee Rosen and I are both psychiatrists, and would like to extend our services to all of you.

Perhaps you have never experienced therapy before. There are many misconceptions when it comes to psychiatry. You may think that only those who are not mentally sound seek therapy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sometimes the healthiest thing is to seek the assistance of a professional when desiring to understand how both the past and the present are affecting you, and what sorts of behaviors you may alter to ensure for yourself the best future. This is important even in the most mundane of situations, yet ours is far from mundane. The gods play with our emotions. Sometimes we are left to wonder if what we felt was real, or merely an illusion. Either way, the pain is real. And we can help you. Recently the gods allowed us to speak to each other anonymously over the network. The outpouring of raw feeling, of fear and worry and sorrow, was striking. There was some solace in speaking to our fellow citizens. Perhaps even more may be found in utilizing the training and talent of Dr. Rosen and myself.

We would like to hold open office hours at the clinic, if those who run the facility are amenable. In the meantime, you may contact either of us for an appointment. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Then consider me amenable. I can ask the others if you haven't heard back yet.

A surgeon would be incredibly useful, but what you're offering sounds so as well. I just don't know what a psychiatrist really does. Is it just someone to talk to?
pellameno: (and hear that breaking sound)

Interesting. It seems like I'm the 'just' in this case, then.

Well, I do my best, but I'm not trained for it. I'm not technically trained for medicine, either... Doctor Banner was teaching me a bit, before he disappeared.

I'd love that, actually. I'm a decent healer but knowing what needs fixing has proven immensely helpful.

Why did you switch from surgery to psychiatry?
pellameno: (contemplating)

Well, I'm sure I could learn plenty about both sorts of patients.

Why don't you come by the clinic and we'll see what kind of space you might like cleared?
pellameno: (reasons for defying reason)

Whenever you're free. It's been quiet lately, I can take a few minutes to show you around. Just ask for Pell.
