seis: asserting reality.

[iam_aghost]

For whatever records may be kept, I was not affected by that flood. I am no Falangista. I apologise to each and every one of you for if I spoke to you rudely, harshly or of strict military discipline. I, unfortunately, had to keep up an act in order to remain a functional doctor on that ship, and providing help in that manner was more important

Later. I'll help later.

Thank you. For trying to keep him from doing anything too stupid.

Re: Infirmary Filter

[iam_aghost]

Completely understandable. In your own time. [that rage. he senses it.]

[Private]

Sorry I couldn't do more.

Are you alright? If I can ask.

Interestingly, the minor injuries I sustained during the flood supplanted the ones I obtained before the flood. So, all things considered, I'm better than ever. [THIS IS A LIE, because now he's got withdrawal pains, which he'd take a broken wrist over. Caesares is free to put two and two together and figure that out.]

Re: Private

[iam_aghost]

Are you absolutely certain? [Caesares is a deduction king sometimes] I imagine living like he did would have some lasting affect.

I can help. I wasn't affected either, not that anyone could tell.

[Affected Denise and unaffected Denise would be similar enough to prevent suspicion if she stayed quiet enough.]

This is the second time we've gone through this. At least there aren't a shitload of riot casualties this time.

Re: Infirmary Filter

[iam_aghost]

Ah, good. I presumed that some people were simply... off my range of sight during that.

I heard about that. I imagine confrontation, as noble as it might have been, would have ended worse than the situation we currently have.

Re: Infirmary Filter

[gotgirlballs]

I tried to stay pretty low. I'm in the habit of talking like a trucker and threatening people anyway, so it wasn't that hard.

Seriously. We had to set up a makeshift infirmary for the inmates because the real one wasn't a safe place for them. We had to take turns treating their injuries and defending the place from attackers.

Re: Infirmary Filter

[iam_aghost]

I admit that my intent in acting... like the man I did was to avoid a situation like that. As long as I could seem like the person they were used to, I could provide medical help without question.

At least, that was the hope.

[lifeafterhope]

A hot-headed woman, am I.

Re: Private

[iam_aghost]

I apologise.

I had to... remain in character and I am quite sorry.

Re: Private

[lifeafterhope]

How sorry?

Re: Private

[iam_aghost]

Sorry enough to be sincere and never to do it again. Not sorry enough to be guilted into doing something at your behest to supposedly make up for it.

I can be on my way shortly. I wasn't affected.

Re: Filter

[iam_aghost]

Ah, good. I'm glad to hear that.

Do you know about anyone else?

Re: Filter

[greatlightother]

No. I was here the last time this happened and...when I noticed what the difference was, I stayed out of the way.

Re: Filter

[iam_aghost]

That seemed to be a... relatively popular and sane decision to make.

I half wish I had, but then realise that a doctor that was trustworthy was necessary. Not that I can blame you one bit.

[Infirmary filter]

[notarrowette]

I... I'll be there. [Because oh lord if she has to stop to think about all of this, she'll lose it.]

switch to private.

[iam_aghost]

Are you sure?

I don't want to demand anyone to come in if they're not alright.

private.

[notarrowette]

[PAUSE for thinking]

...I'm not all right. Not really. But I have to do something. I need... I need something to do.

Re: private.

[iam_aghost]

That's not a good reason to decide to do anything.

It's up to you in the end, but seriously consider whether that's a good frame of mind in which to decide to work.
