Meet the Medic [Open Log]

[gentle_giant]

Who: The city's medic and mechanic...and all those who want their injuries tended.
What: The city medic doing what he can for all the new arrivals who've just been through an explosion.
Where: Hospital, located in the Northwest of the city
When: Shortly after arrival.  Galos will bring everyone to the city, and show the injured to the hospital.  The good medic here will care for any who come in.  Don't worry, he can care for Cybertronians too.
Warnings: Only what your characters bring with them.

The hospital is quite large, located in the midst of various houses and apartments.  One side is clearly designed for the organic residence, with nice sliding doors opening into a foyer and waiting area.  Halls stretch off to the right to various exam rooms where the resident doctor and his apprentices can check on the sick.  Down another hall are hospital rooms for those who require an extended stay.

The other side is designed for the robotic residents.  The front part is a large garage, which leads to a waiting area.  Past that are repair bays with with tables, each repair bay is stocked with tools.  The mechanic teams range from human to Cybertronian.

Whether organic or robotic, all those who come to the hospital will see the Paian, the head medic and mechanic.

Paian looked to be nothing more than a normal human plucked out of some Victorian era, steampunk world.  Large green goggled hung around his neck and large leather gloves were tucked behind a wide belt.  There's nothing really fancy about his dress, he's dressed to work.  He's a big guy, and a no-nonsense doctor.  Those who come to see him may not his worried frown as he ushers them back to get settled where he can start to work to take care of those injuries.

Mind if Lea pops in? :3

[hotheadwarmheart]

In the end, Lea had decided not to use his one Potion himself. But after securing himself a place to stay, the thought had occurred to him that someone at the hospital might just be able to replicate it, thus allowing for a steady supply.

Thus Lea had headed over there, Potion in his pocket, to see if he could talk to someone about that. After looking around briefly, he heard human-sounding voices coming from around the next corner, and started to greet whoever was there almost before he saw them. "Hey there, I was wondering if I could talk to-" He stopped abruptly though, as he recognized one half of the pair, eyes widening in surprise. "Elsa?"

Not at all!

[gentle_giant]

Paian smiled, his expression comforting and fatherly. "You did a good thing for him. The damage would have been greater without it. You have an amazing ability, young lady."

If Lea's intrrruption surprised him, it didn't show. He easily shifted to address this young man's questions...only his questions were conpletely derailed by the young lady. He smiles and will shift back a bit to let the two reunit. He won't go far so long as an emergency did't come in, since he already knows this fiery youth had questions for him.

1/2 I NEVER MIND 8,D

[fractalize]

Paian's remark makes her face warm, knowing she did a good thing for someone with her powers was a rare thing, and to have someone else confirm it for her was just the best feeling ever.

"Thank you." she manages, the sheer embarrassment shining through a little bit.

2/2

[fractalize]

But her expression doesn't stay long, not after looking away to see Lea. Oh. Oh.

Her feelings seized up in the pit of her chest, and for a second, she couldn't speak. The last time she'd seen him, she'd said her goodbyes. Even then---she'd changed in the time she'd been gone. She saved her sister, saved Arendelle. Became a more confident ruler.

As far as she knew, she was helping her sister pick out wedding dresses just yesterday, and thought that she was okay with it. Apparently not.


Lea, prepare for hugs. Because you're getting a hug. A really, big, hug.

[gentle_giant]

[Paian waves a dismissive hand.] You were worried and searching for a friend. There's nothing to apologize for. C'mon then. [He motions at the nearby repair bay.]

[gentle_giant]

[Ah yes, the too good to be true. He was familiar with that.]

I would't say too good. The city is constantly surrounded by chaos energy, which often bubbles up from the core and deposits all sorts of things here, from people, to things, to trouble.

We don't have a monitary system in place so there's to paying for anything. There are more homes tham there are people to live in them, so there's no problem with you claiming a place.

I encourage you to find work, makes the days go by faster when you have something to do.

[He looks at the puddle...and nods] I was going ro have an allrentice clean up, but if it would make you feel better to do it yourself I'll shiw you where a mop is.

[gentle_giant]

Very, for some of them. Some are rather close to the Miasma, others you're likely to get lost in. Not to say you can't go alone, but if you do I'd let someone know you're going, or set your comm drone to contact someone after a certain amount of time.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[Drift's a little weird about being treated by HUUUUMAN, but he can't really be picky right now. He nods and moseys on over to that there repair bay.]

[gentle_giant]

[Paian follows, shoving a portable scffolding uo by the table and climbing up. He guides it out over Drift and will lie down so he can reach the bot.]

We'll need to match that tire to get it replaced. As for the rest... [He sighs] I'm afraid full repairs won't be possible at this time.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

They aren't?Is there some sort of supply shortage?

[He wouldn't be surprised if there was, there were kind of a lot of injured asshole laying around all of a sudden.]

[gentle_giant]

No, supplies aren't the issue. There's...something strange affecting the city. People aren't healing on their own. My ability to heal others isn't working fulky either. I'll do all I can, but no matter what I or any other medic does, your repairs won't be complete.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

That... doesn't make any sense to me at all, but seeing as I don't know the first thing about this place, I'll just take your word for it.

[deadlydoctor]

[Sucks to be the man in charge uh? Knock out frowns and narrow his eyes, leaning forward so he ca heard the human better.]

Now THAT is a huge problem. For how long that has been going on? It might be some sort of infection.

[gentle_giant]

Let me put it this way then. Your ARS isn't working, and I don't know why. Which means I can only do so much before whatever repairs being done will just cause more damage.

Now...I'm going to put my hand on you, you'll feel warmth, it'll feel strange, just stay still. [He'll wait for Drift to acknowledge before he does anything.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[Drift kind of gives him a weird look, but nods and allows the little dude to do whatever he needs.]

[gentle_giant]

It is a huge problem, and getting worse.

I noticed it first sixteen days ago. It's not just healing, people are disappearing too. I think they're connected, I just don't know how yet.

[gentle_giant]

[Hey, he was aware that some Cybertronians had...~issues~ with being touched by organics. He always gave warning before he healed.]

[And so he presses a hand to Drift's armor and...it is a strange sensation. Warmth will flood through Drift's armor and he'll feel things shift and move back into place. But...as Paian said, the healing won't be complete. So much is fixed, but not all. This seemed to frustrate and irritate the man, though he didn't take that out of Drift.]

I'm afraid that's as good as it's gonna get for now. [He'll get up and move the scaffolding back to Drift can get up.]

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

[AND DRIFT DOES INDEED GET UP, twisting and bending a bit to get a feel for what's mended.]

That's fine, I really appreciate it. I feel a thousand times better.

[deadlydoctor]

Sixteen days is a really precise date. Did something happen? A change in the weather, a earthquake, other newcomers...anything?

[Well at least Paian managed to get him in doctor mode.] Show me one of the first patients affected.

[gentle_giant]

[Paian gives him a smile.] Just sorry it can't be completed right now.

Name's Paian, by the way, head medic here if you ever need anything.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I'm Drift. Thank you again. I... don't really know how to repay you, but I'd like to.

[gentle_giant]

[The change has him studying Knock Out for a moment. He gives an approving nod, perhaps you are a medic after all.]

It's notable only because of how...wrong it is. People are supposed to heal, even Cybertronian bodies repair themselves to a point. This...this is just...wrong.

It was some time before that when people started disappearing. That's...not unusual really, the Miasma swallows people the same way it drops them here, but never so many so quickly. Things just don't feel right.

[While he's talking he's motioned Knock Out to follow him and has headed to the organic side of the hospital. Don't worry, it's built to accommodate robots coming to visit and help out, so Knock Out will have no problem stepping into a room. A girl sits on a bed, her arm bandaged with red already soaking the bandage. She'll give them a smile when they step in. She looks....worn and tired.]

[deadlydoctor]

[He just told you he's the best, why no one believes listens to him?]

Yes I am aware of what my people is made of and how it's supposed to work. Perhaps there has been a change in the environment that it's affecting us. I know you have drones, Mr. Goat had them with him when he found us. Those can't heal properly either?

The Miasma seems to act like the Lamba, a rift in space and time that was in the last Cybertron I was dropped in. [That is said so very casually. he's used to weird things at this point.] It was influenced by an external force, Unicron. Could it be that he's coming back...

[He follows, actually being careful to not step on anything important and grateful that there's enough space.

Why it had to be a tiny organic, he's grown a soft spot for those. Frag.] What happened to her?

[gentle_giant]

It's not necessary, but I won't turn down a bit of help if you're so inclined to give it.

[happyclappyhippydrippy]

I don't have any medical training, but if there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know. Even if you just need a ride somewhere.
