Cleaning up the Clinic

[lisacuddy.livejournal.com]

Lisa opens the door to the clinic, and is not totally surprised to find it unlocked. She looks around to see if any of the other clinic volunteers are around, but doesn't see any one right away. She sits down at House's desk, puts his comic books and Gameboy in the top drawer, and starts to pen a to-do list.

• Re-fill supplies, especially gauze for bleeding wounds
  
• Organize student medical histories
  
• Start clinic volunteer files
  
• Open mail
  
• Sort through complaints registered against House, keep only the ones that seem like they really will file lawsuits/come after him with a chainsaw
  
• Order new chairs for waiting area
  
• Clear House's Internet History, before the Tech Dept. busts him for whatever he is looking at
  
• Have someone look at the lock on the clinic door
  

Lisa leans back in the chair, smiles softly at her list, and stretches her arms above her head. She decides to hold off on any major projects as see if anyone wanders into the clinic. Instead she stocks tongue depressors, and asks herself...

What the hell am I doing?

*not phased in the least...*

Alright, we'll put both names on your folder, to cover all of the bases.

Describe your mutant qualities in detail, please.

Taken aback slightly by Lily's non-chalant attitude, Rogue pauses before continuing. "Well, I have deadly skin. I ... absorb people through it: their memories, traits, habits, and mutant abilities. The longer the contact, the more I absorb. If they or I hold on long enough, I'll absorb them permanently, and they'll die. Apparently there's only so much ... person in each person.

"I don't know if I absorb other people's special abilities, since I've not touched anyone other than regular humans and mutants. But, well, if I'm ever passed out or something, just don't touch me." She takes a breath. "It's not something I really try to advertise, you know, and I do take precautions," she holds up her gloved hands. "I just didn't know if the Professor at my old school sent down my paperwork, and it's something y'all should probably know."

*scribbles and scribbles to get it all down*

*looks up and smiles warmly*

Anything else?

"Um, well, sometimes I have really bad nightmares from some of the people I've absorbed. But they're getting better. And that's it, really." Rogue pauses. "Actually, if y'all are handing out condoms, I might take a few. But not for me!" she adds, hastily. "My roommate seems to have...I mean, well, can I have some, please?" She looks very red.

Alright, I'll get your info on our watch list for the doctor and the other assistants - don't worry, we have a strict confidentiality policy here, so we'll keep it within the clinic. If your headaches get worse, come back and see me, I've got a few different potions that work well for headaches. Condoms? I'm not sure where we keep those, actually. Let me go ask about that.

(ooc: what I meant by "headaches" was actually "nightmares" yikes!)

*walks back in with a handful of condoms*

Here you go, Marie - take care to be protected every time you engage in sexual activity, and don't count on the boy to have his own supplies - you have to take responsibility for your own health. Any other questions?

"Well, if you could tell me how to turn this off, that'd be great, but other than that, I think it's all covered, miss." Rogue smiles. "Thanks for everything. You're really a great doctor, or nurse, or whatever your title is around here." She shoves the condoms in a pocket of her bookbag and stands to leave. "Thanks again, Lily."

You're welcome - stop back in anytime.

Rogue nods, and quietly leaves the clinic.
