FTEC -- August 02 -- Saturday.

There was that feeling in the air as Adah walked to the clinic very early that morning for her day shift, the feeling that, if she believed in Dog, she would pray to him right now for a nice, quiet shift, but wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if she didn't get that nice, quiet shift. She hated mornings like that and, as she settled in behind the desk, was thinking that those were probably among the only occasions she would actually want to be right.

For now, hopefully linear dsDNA genomes theories could help stave off the unsettled feeling.

"Excuse me," Juli asked very seriously, peeking over the desk. "Are my Mother and Father working here?"

It was not that she minded nothing having seen them so much, but it was a bit out of the ordinary that there was no note. Perhaps they were just busy?

Adah eyed the child peeking over the desk, feeling grateful that at least she didn't immediately identify Adah as her mother. She blinked a moment, tilting her head slightly before she asked, "I don't think so. Who are your mother and father?"

"Dr. Ami Niwashiro, and Dr. Kenta Niwashiro," Juli said, offering the lady a smile. "They're doctors."

Just in case the lady had missed that fact.

"I'm sorry," Adah said, with a very slight shake of her head, "there are no doctors who work here by those names."

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

[last-mizrahi.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Juli considered this. "Can you take a message in case they come by then?"

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

"I..highly doubt that will happen," Adah told the little girl simply and truthfully, "but, if you want, I can take a message, sure. If you're having difficulty locating your parents, though, I suggest you try the station rather than the clinic."

There was a slight pause.

"We haven't had any patients in today," she added, in case the girl was thinking they were in for treatment rather than as employees.

Juli looked slightly put out at that. Her parents were no one's patients.

"They normally leave me a note," she said. "Or someone who knows. It's very odd that they didn't. Can you tell them that Juli was looking for them, if they do come in? And which way to the station, please?"

Wolverine ran into the clinic. "Did a kangaroo come in here? He might have been looking for steroids. Dumb thing just keeps on jumping. No way he's kept going this long without something."

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

[ecirpnellehada.livejournal.com]

Adah stared. For a good, long moment. She really couldn't help herself; even around here, this seemed like a very rare and...special occurance.

But then she shook her head. "No," she said, "no kangaroos. No one even asking for steroids, but I suppose I should keep an eye out for him?"

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"Okay, thanks, lady," Wolverine said. "If you see him, could you yell for me? I have good ears, so I'll hear it."

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

[ecirpnellehada.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like Adah was going to yell for some cracked out child looking for a kangaroo reportedly on steroids. She shook her head, ever so slightly, before saying, "If I'm to tell, I'll need to know who I'm yelling for."

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

[gimmemoreteams.livejournal.com]

"You can call me Wolverine, bub," Wolverine said.

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

A boy named Wolverine looking for kangaroos on steroids.

Adah sighed, closing her eyes for a moment as she reminded herself that she knew that something like this would happen. She knew when she woke up this morning that it would be one of those days.

And then she nodded. "Right. If I see any kangaroos, I'll yell and let you know."

After his interesting morning at the Perk, Lee found his way to the clinic. He almost thought to get down on his knees and walk in like that just to see if she'd think he was tiny.

He refrained though. He liked his life.

"Having fun?" Lee asked as he came in the door.

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

Adah took a moment to just stared at the Eel before she blinked and muttered, "Hallelujah and thank Dog, someone who's taller than the front desk here. Unfortunately, while the height of my visitors seems like it's going up, the increase is slight and the IQs aren't improving."

And, yes, that was Adah's way of saying that she was glad to see him, but she threw in a small, innocent sort of smile in case he wasn't sure.

"Gotten visits from the kids?" Lee asked, leaning against the counter. "They're cute, aren't they?"

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

[ecirpnellehada.livejournal.com]

Adah tried not to show any disappointment that her insults garnered no reactions, but a small wrinkling of her nose managed to slip through.

"One of them appeared to be wearing yellow spandex," she commented. "I don't know if cute is the proper term."

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

He laughed and wrinkled his nose right back at her. "I met Professor Kerrigan's tiny self."

Re: Front Desk -- Day Shift -- 08/02

[ecirpnellehada.livejournal.com]

It took a moment for the real meaning of that to hit Adah.

"These," she stared at the Eel a moment, "children that have been running around are tiny versions of actual people? Like that one time when we were tiny versions of ourselves?"

...yeah, we've got a week at the parent's basement because we're homeless until we close on the house and THEN a vacation with the family before we can move in and...

...it's going to be a looooong two weeks.

*symphatizes with the packing, too, good lord* Packing is evil; not so bad with a vacation, but I hate all packing now. *nods*
