[ACCIDENTAL AUDIO;]

[The device catches the tail end of a conversation-- one which wouldn't seem out of place, if certain doctors weren't indisposed.]

--sides, we always see an increase in admissions on these weekends.

[Whatever is said in answer isn't audible. Dr. Perry sighs softly.]

Just keep him stable until midnight, what else can we do?

|[ooc; ROAD NOT TAKEN: Instead of killing himself, Neil buckled to his father's demands. He finished off his senior year at Braden Military school, went to Harvard, and became a doctor. He gave up all that foolishness, plays and poetry and whatnot, and lived a life of quiet desperation... until his old asyouwail showed up and brought a little life back into his life. Also, you know, ending up in the City. He believes he's been this age for as long as he's been here, and all other memories are altered accordingly! Comments from dr_doppelganger.]|

Sounds like you're having a good day.

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

Same old, same old.

[asyouwail.livejournal.com]

Does that happen to come with the same old lunch break?

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

If I can finish off the same old paperwork by the same old time, then yes.

[asyouwail.livejournal.com]

Then maybe you'd like to meet for some of the same old food. Not that you have to order the same old thing, I mean.

This... only works to a certain point, really.

[inmyothertights]

Oh, hi, uh....Neil.

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

Hello, Billy.

[inmyothertights]

Sooooo I guess I'll be manning the bookstore alone today, awesome.

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

Bookstore?

[That's pretty much a yes, sorry Billy.]

[inmyothertights]

Right.

No problem, no problem.

[chosered.livejournal.com]

Don't overwork.

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about me, by now I'm used to it.

[chosered.livejournal.com]

Don't you know? I never worry.

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

That's a good move, you'll live longer.

[chosered.livejournal.com]

I'm more concerned with you living longer than me, Neil.

[Just catching the audio here, not stopping to notice the details that might indicate this is not who she thinks it is.]

Rough day at the office?

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

Well, the wild-card days tend to be a little hectic, that's all.

[adamantined]

What's wrong with the guy you're trying to keep stable until midnight?

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

Spontaneous wounds, probably old scars reopening due to a curse. There's really not much more we can do-- curse-induced damage is resistant to actual treatment.

[adamantined]

Is that true for a majority of curses or just that particular one?

[There's no reason he's using video other than he's found that this weekend is very prone to being 'enhanced' by video.]

Someone's hurt?

[Video]

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

Nothing out of the ordinary-- curse-induced injuries are pretty common.

[Video]

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah, I guess.

Who is it?

[Video]

[dr-doppelganger.livejournal.com]

Doctor-patient confidentiality still stands here, even if nothing much else does.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I thought- [Piecing something together finally.]

Wait, you're a doctor?
