[002] VIDEO

[doc_pompous]

[Today's video post reveals Simon against the usual backdrop of Medbay--it's clear he's a little exhausted from the blackout and subsequent jump, but he does his best to appear put-together and professional, because that's what you should do when addressing large amounts of people.]

At this point I think the customary welcome would be…more than a little redundant, so I'll try to be brief.

[He coughs a little, more to fill the silence than anything, clearly a little unaccustomed to making these kinds of announcements.]

My name is Simon, I'm one of the doctors on board. My background is in trauma surgery, but we're all used to working outside our specialties here. Physicians, nurses, laboratory technicians, you…get the idea.

I won't pretend we're not understaffed, or that the hours aren't long, but anything you can offer is appreciated. If you're interested in joining the medical team and have the knowledge or experience, let me know, and we can put you on staff.

[Simon's brow furrows. Even if he didn't know them very well, good medical personnel is something of a precious commodity in situations like this.]

We've lost a few good doctors recently, and we could use any willing volunteers.

[No wait stop not as planned]

No, of course not! I mean, if you have people willing to donate, it's not really any of my business.

Just a little psych major hint? "It's not really any of my business" is uuuuusually a dead giveaway for "I'm judging you so bad right now".

[ which she would get, lbr. ]

[doc_pompous]

I'm really not judging, I promise. It's like I said, we don't--there's a distinct lack of the supernatural, where I come from.

Hence the 'ask me anything, even rude stuff' open forum.

I'm pretty well adjusted-- if you ask something I don't feel like answering, I'll just say that.

[ beat.

wait for it. ]

I don't bite, honest.

[ SHE COULDN'T HELP IT OKAY GOD. ]

[Is this real life

yes

yes it is real life]

Touché. If I...think of anything to ask, I'll come straight to you.

[unparental]

I've been waiting to make that joke for ages, you're a prince among men.

[ jenna no

jenna why are you like this

oh well-adjusted happiness and no real serious crippling self-doubt or issues?

...maybe carry on then.

i guess. ]

It's a deal.
