"Suppose... somebody's eyes weren't the way they used to be.

"There some kinda... I dunno. Way to fix that?"

[Murphy sounds kind of ragged. Frustrated. He's not really one to openly admit that he's having problems, let alone make a public broadcast about it. But even after getting over his sickness, he can't trust himself to operate the machinery he does and be productive when he still can't see where he's even going half of the damned time. And if he can't do that, then what good is he going to be to anyone?]

Hullo, bruv.

[William waves at the lens. With his white coat and rather cool, sterile-looking backdrop, there can be little doubt what department he owes his allegiance to, even if you missed his 5000 WORD ORAL PRESENTATION on the network the other day.] We could examine you in Medical Bay. Between magic and medicine, there's likely something we can do.

Yes, certainly, [William nods, squinting at the man in the screen, as if the tiny picture could tell him whether Murphy's eyes seem to be focusing properly on him. Focusing at all.] We can also meet you somewhere else in the ship, if it'll be easier. Let us know.

I see you've already met the highly capable Dr. Gallo.

My name is Dr Gallo. As William's mentioned, medical has options for you; if you'd be comfortable with a magical solution, you can speak with me.

Now you know. We strive to provide options for everyone's comfort, that they can make informed choices.

( strive to, because you can't always, that's. just how it is. )

I can't speak for those that use wands, but no, what I'm offering would not involve one. It would depend on exactly what your problem is and exactly what you'd be looking for in terms of a solution, and it'd be something I'd personally prefer to discuss with a patient privately and personally.

I'm usually available in the medical bay, if you'd like to come and speak with me.

Murph! You're gonna look so cute in glasses. All distinguished.

Aw, c'mon. They'd suit you! Plus, are you really sure you wanna risk space lasik in this place?

[Says the girl with the robot leg. Shhh.]
sweetmotherofgod: (let's pretend I blew up the school)

[personal profile] sweetmotherofgod 2014-10-18 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Point. I guess magic in the face is less scary and gross than lasers in the face. I just think it's good to consider all your options.

Have you ever asked Anne how she feels about glasses?

[ Caretaker mode: activated!! (She shouldn't be speaking to so many strangers. Booker would warn her, if he were here... ) ]

Are you hurt? Is there anything I can do?

[ Says you! ]

I can imagine. Do you ever get used to them-- the jumps? They seem so... violent.

How could they be worse? [ It isn't rhetorical, she's curious, and tilting her head to match her tone. ]
songburdened: (you never need to doubt it)

I can understand that. I haven't felt it here, exactly, but I lived in a tower for my entire life and was apparently under observation.

[ Matter-of-fact. She doesn't seem scared and, quite contrarily, huffs in annoyance. ]

Really. What an invasion of my basic rights. Though... they were all gone once I did escape.
songburdened: (we will find you)

[personal profile] songburdened 2014-11-14 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It's... a long story. [ Really, she doesn't even know most of it, herself. But she isn't keen to explain how she's considered some kind of savior. ]

[ Elizabeth, meanwhile, plows on, seemingly not uncomfortable in the slightest. ]

But it doesn't matter right now, not when I've gotten away and they can't find me. I doubt they'd ever think--or be able--to look here.

For the most part? [ She tilts her head, not that he can see it, but he'll note the curiosity in her voice. ]

... I understand. I really think this is a valuable chance, being here, despite its dangers. But, still, I couldn't forget about everything I've been through. Everything I've seen...
