It seems as if a third of the damn population is ill this month. To the point that the two smallish words 'waiting room' now begin to fill me with dread, contempt, and an urge to curse fluently at anyone who aims them in my direction. Lucky for us all that the dire cases seem to be tapering off, and that medicine simply is what it is here. You can

... huh. That's an interesting bit of history.

[winewomenand]

I am full of interesting bits of history.

[revengeisalie]

Hah, is that so? About medicine?

[winewomenand]

About nearly everything. I've lived some time.

[revengeisalie]

What? How long?

[winewomenand]

A hundred million years, give or take. I can't remember the where, the when or the why. It hardly matters.

[revengeisalie]

... wow.

So are you... human?

[winewomenand]

Zeus, no. A puck.

[revengeisalie]

What's that?

[winewomenand]

An immortal non-human. You're not familiar? Puck, Pan, Green Man? An amoral trickster race.

[revengeisalie]

Not really. Which part of the world are they from? If on "Earth" at all, that is.

[winewomenand]

All parts, naturally. I've lived for a time in nearly every culture on the globe.

But most of that time, the majority of us spent in Europe and the Middle East. Though India was a destination at one time.

[revengeisalie]

Huh. Maybe we have a different name for them.

Ever been to Japan?

[winewomenand]

Not in some time. But others. You would know if you had seen us, we are all identical.

[revengeisalie]

How do you look, then?

[winewomenand]

Green-eyed. Brown haired. Curls.

Why we tend to avoid Asia.
