[ there's a rustling before the feed begins- but the sound is impossible to place as any one thing. in the background, the tell-tale beep and hum of medical can be heard, chased by heavy footfalls and the clacking of records. melissa's head lifts into the feed, hair a messy knot on top of her head trying desperately to escape.

there may or may not be a plate of waffles and inhuman amount of empty mugs sitting on the table just visible over her elbow. ]

Hey listen, I know you've probably heard it all before, and I know the network is just packed with don't-go-out messages from people you don't even know, but please.

[ her hands come together before the feed, fingers laced and pleading. ]

Please, from all of us working eighteen hour shifts- don't go out. Give us a week? Keep your arms and legs on your bodies? Because frankly, my last decent meal was a microwaved burrito and that was three days ago.

A week, please, that's all I ask.






And maybe if someone could run by with a few extra coffee filters.
We're getting a little desperate.

Amen to that. If I have to go on keeping my chicken pot pie next to the blood bags-

[doc_pompous]

Agreed. It's unsanitary, and one of these days someone's going to get something mixed up with something else.

Wow that is a mental image I didn't need at all.

Hey, how's your paperwork coming by the way? Are you using paper? I'm a little afraid of keeping charts on these computers if I'm going to be honest, and the number of people reporting medical histories in case of emergencies is- something I don't even wanna touch.

[doc_pompous]

I...don't use paper, no. Everything's in the computers anyway, but a lot of it is outdated.

Mostly the medical histories, unfortunately.

[wolfsmother]

I'll talk to a few people- see what I can do about getting those updated, and getting relevant notes from- [ oh god ] everyone else.

Let me know if I can do anything to help?
