I apologize for being so...um...reclusive lately. I'm still here and the clinic's still running.

I know there are several people capable of healing and a number of people who have a grasp of the basics, but ah...since this place is 不太正常的 and things can get a bit dangerous, I thought I'd make the offer to teach anyone who has an interest.

I think it would be a useful skill to learn.

[tiancai_doctor]

It's not like we don't have enough time.

[calculatedfire]

That is also true, between events anyway.

[tiancai_doctor]

And the events give us good a reason to practice this particular skill set. If you're interested.

[defiant_eye]

I'm interested.

[tiancai_doctor]

Do you have any previous medical training?

[defiant_eye]

Bits and pieces.

[ Bloody pieces. ]

[tiancai_doctor]

You can come by the clinic any time you like and we can get started.

[ACTION! *KICKS IN DOOR* ...No...wait...]

[ Philip approaches the clinic with determination. He can see the door and he can walk right through it. Clarence won't stop him this time, although the moment he steps into the room he feels that he may be stopping himself.

Is there even a remote chance this is going to work? They have a doctor, yes, but it's just a doctor. The scientists failed and paid dearly for it and how could this possibly work out for him?

But Amabel somebody had a cure, so there is a cure and why can't it be here as well?

He takes a deep breath and calls out. ]

H-hello?

[ACTION!]

[tiancai_doctor]

[Simon's standing at the counter, further into the room, leafing through a medical text. Because there's only so many times he can go through his inventory. So he's taken up reading "old" medical books for kicks.

He looks up at Philip's voice and abandons the book, coming into sight.]

Hello. Can I help you?

[sadfreezingbrit]

{ It's not too late to just walk out that door, you know. Say you got the wrong door. You're only wastin' your time, monkey. }

Yes.

Yes. I- I'm looking for a doctor. Doctors?

[ More would be better. ]

[tiancai_doctor]

That would be me. [Simon comes closer and holds out a hand.] Simon Tam.

[thinkin_man]

Have you made any progress with ADAM, Doctor?

[tiancai_doctor]

Not as much as I'd like, unfortunately.

[thinkin_man]

Thank you for your time, anyway.

Have you found anything at all worth noting?

[tiancai_doctor]

Not anything that's applicable to treating the addiction. I'm going to keep working on it, though.

How are you doing?

What is 不太正常的? [She does a surprising job of not completely butchering that Chinese, but it's still pretty bad.]

[audio]

[tiancai_doctor]

Oh. Ah...it means "not quite sane."

[audio]

[psych0ruin]

Then you should have just said that.

[audio]

[tiancai_doctor]

I guess... It's just habit. I forget everyone here doesn't speak Chinese like they do at home.
