For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Doctor Stephen Strange. Back in my home universe, I once practiced as a neurosurgeon; here, I’m offering my experience as a doctor in ADI’s medical department. With that comes a variety of responsibilities, but also the obligation to make the occasional PSA. So, here goes:

I understand that not everyone is completely trusting of ADI, or agrees with their handling of any given situation. And I’m not here to convince you otherwise. Instead, I’m here to make sure everyone knows that the medical department always has its doors open to any who need it, regardless of your feelings on the organization. So please take advantage of that fact.

If you’re injured, or sick, or feel affected by anything odd or supernatural in this world, don’t hesitate to get yourself checked in. Your health is always of the utmost importance, and we’ll do what we can to take care of you. Remember: you can’t continue to investigate if you’re ill or otherwise incapacitated.

If you need to contact me personally, that’s always an option, too. Doctor Dyer is also available for the same services, and is just as competent β€” if not more so.

-Dr. Strange


un: emilydyer

Dr. Strange is being kindly flattering in regards to myself, but in regards to your health, he is absolutely correct. My name is Emily Dyer, and I'm operating as another physician in ADI's medical department, with my background best classified under general practice and community medicine.

Our allegiance, in the end, is not to those who've agreed to help ADI, but to anyone who is in need of a doctor's care. Wherever you come from, whatever your take on this entire predicament we find ourselves in, we wish only to aid and to be deserving of your trust.

This sentiment isn't limited to just us, but rather all of our colleagues as well. If you aren't able to come into the department, or an emergency has arisen, send us a message, and we'll come to you instead.

Additionally, I'd like to put forth a small secondary announcement. I've been working on a medicine to aid sleep and reduce nightmares, and at this stage, it's ready to be given to a larger group. I'd like to offer this out to those who'd wish to try it, with a request that you let me know how it works for you so that I can accurately calculate its efficacy as a remedy.

If you're concerned about what it's comprised of, it's based in herbology and natural sources instead of harsher synthetic chemicals, and I have been taking it myself, so you needn't feel there is a risk associated. At worst, it simply has a bitter taste, which can be improved on with time. Regardless, I realize that this will raise questions, and I'll answer them to the best of my ability.

-E.D.

Hm... is that really true? I'm being treated for homesickness, as it turns out... maybe you're simply a practitioner of more than one sort of medicine, after all?

[ chuckling as he cups his tea, he can't help a little pleased fidget in his seat. ]

But I have to say... if you consider me a man whose 'office' provides consolation-- then I'll be happy to return the favor of a good treatment, anytime you'd like it, okay? Consider my doors always open to you.

That means a great deal, Father. You may end up seeing me at some point to take you up on that.

[hopefully later rather than sooner. she has the looming, terrible feeling that if she tried to let off just a little, more than she wanted would spill out, upended by any lapse of vigilance.]

Tell me a little more about your home?

[she still owes him answering how she met Emma - she remembers, but if the conversation should slowly get there, she sees no reason to hurry it for now.]

[ Emily... he certainly hopes she does take him up on it, one day. he might not have been here terribly long, but he can tell that having a shoulder to lean on now and then will probably only grow more important as the months drone on.

and speaking of bearing ones soul... he hasn't forgotten that bit about Ms. Woods either!! but he's sure the conversation will take him back in that direction. things have a way of meandering as they will, mmhm~!

for now-- Abel tilts his head ever so slightly in thought. hm, HM, ]


Ah, well-- before I get ahead of myself, may I ask you something first, Doctor? --I'm not changing the subject, I promise you! It'll simply make it easier to explain I think, if you might tell me the year you're from? Are you from an earth similar to this one, perhaps?
medicative: (taken.)

Somewhat. The last year I recall is -

[somewhere in the medical wing, an unfortunate intern drops a tray of glassware, obscuring the year that definitely is far from the 21st century.]

-so you see, I had quite a lot of catching up to do once I found myself here. Thankfully there were more than enough kind souls who helped me, and while much is unfamiliar, I at least can navigate without feeling lost.
inutilis: (✞ hmm~?)

[ such unfortunate timing, that intern's clumsy fumble of glassware that shatters in the distance; conveniently, Abel is nodding right along as he absorbs the precise year Emily's extolled. ]

Ah-- you know, I think you might be the first person I've spoken to whose time comes considerably before this one...! I wonder if there's any rhyme or reason to it? But I'm glad that acclimating wasn't too difficult. [ must have been daunting, to say the least. ] I suppose I can empathize with you in some way, Doctor-- though my predicament was in the other direction. The year I'm from is, well... quite a bit ahead of the year 2021.

Truly? As startling as that must have been for you, to hear that is something of a reassurance - people will still survive to whatever year you've come from. It says something for persistence.

[she can't call it farfetched, when her coworker is a sorcerer and Abel's right in front of her. he has no reason to lie about the year he was from.]
