[....from Umeda's office, where the door is closed for once, comes the sound of Blade Runner.]


((OOC: Everyone and their mother, including Akiha and Io, have dropped in this last little while; Umeda's indulging in his comfort movie. *g* Anyone can feel free to jump this post to catch the movie with him or harass him after it to cheer him up; this post isn't for anyone specific -- I just didn't think I could manage a main-comm post that might hit a few thousand again, but anyone's still free to come and bug Umeda. Got an appointment? Meant to return something to him? Heard about the drops? Come by and say hi.))

Thanks.

*walks in maybe looking the slightest bit embarrassed by that BUT HE'S COOL RLY and shuts the door behind him*

What're you up to?

[playingdoctor]

Ehh, just rewatching an old favourite movie.

*sits his ass down in a spare chair or whatever. because once you invite a vampire in, he'll sure make himself at home*

What's it about?

[playingdoctor]

Dystopian future sci-fi where people made fake humans then got paranoid and ordered 'em killed.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

Sounds cheery. Do any of them wear wheels on their shoes?

[playingdoctor]

Huh?

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

People do that, apparently! Who knew!

*takes out a sheet of paper, which you might just notice is the SOS Brigade scavenger hunt sheet*

Say, do you count as a healer?

[playingdoctor]

Yeah, I've been treating some of 'em, but ...

Maybe technically. I mean, I'm a doctor, so that should count, but I don't have any of that healing magic or whatever.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

But what?

Eh, I don't really trust magic users all that much, myself. So... *reading the sheet* ...what special skills do you have?

[playingdoctor]

But I guess it just doesn't come up much?

Uh, I've got a certificate in chiropracty and massage therapy.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

I think it's one of the strangest things I've run into at camp yet.

Chiropracty? That sounds sinister.

[playingdoctor]

Heh, why?

I crack bones for fun and profit! Is what it sounds like.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you were just walking around, all nice and stable and not falling on your arse, would you think, Oh, hey, you know what would be a great idea? Putting wheels on my shoes.

You see, pub bouncers do that, too. I never would've pinned you as the type.

[playingdoctor]

Well, I guess it's also like. You can shove that crate everywhere. But you know what'd be awesome? A crate on wheels.

It's more a good cracking. It's about keeping joints properly in balance and things like that.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

But you see, that's when you get a horse.

Huh, gotcha. I wonder if any of the Igors know about that...

[playingdoctor]

Maybe you could put the horse on wheels.

From what little you've said, the thought terrifies.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

...now, why didn't I think of that.

Hah! They probably know all about that stuff! I think it's one of those "you have to know the rules before you can break them" situations. Because if you couldn't get, say, five fingers to work correctly, there's no way you'd be able to give yourself six.

...heh, Igor would love this place.

[playingdoctor]

I mean, it's an awesome idea, right?

I guess you're right. I mean, my head hurts trying to wrap around it, but you gotta know how a body works before you can make it work.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

For everyone except the horse.

Yeah. And yeah... this place would be better off with an Igor or two. Particularly now, I'm thinking. Thinking that it's going to be another eventful October, Doc?

[playingdoctor]

HAHAHAHA

Ugh, I'm trying not to think about it. S'my birthday on that day, y'know.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

So should I try not to be too creepy, just for you?

[playingdoctor]

I don't find you that creepy anyway.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

...I must be getting rusty. Though I did almost scare someone out of a tree the other day.

[playingdoctor]

Nah, I just don't think you'd go out of your way all the time to hang out with me if you planned to dismember me and gorge on my coffee.

[bad-addict.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's all part of my cunning plan.
