Fandom Clinic, Tuesday

[doctorgingerspice]

More than once over the last two weeks, Will found himself wondering what determined what would happen on any particular day. After all, the events so far had ranged from whimsical, to weird, to inconvenient-but-in-a-Christmas-themed-way.

Today's didn't seem too bad. Though visually it probably would make more of an impact after sundown.

In any case, the clinic was open!

"So, you got the candles too," Dwight said as he walked into the waiting area. "Wasn't sure if it was an island-wide thing or if it was just me."

[doctorgingerspice]

Will raised an eyebrow. "I didn't realize something weird being 'just you' was an option around here."

The generalized weirdness was bad enough, but the idea that the island could... what... target? An individual, that was worrying.

[alwaysonguard]

"Well, I mean, the island has been known to seemingly grab specific people out of their timelines/worlds to bring them here. I know a few people personally who have been given jobs in town or classes to teach at the school without doing anything themselves. So..." Dwight shrugged and then saw the concerned look on Will's face. "But it's all been relatively harmless so far." (If you didn't mind a seemingly sentient island telling you what career to take, then sure.)

[doctorgingerspice]

Technically speaking, Will had been grabbed and brought here against his will. And he’d been set up with a job and everything! But that had all been arranged by the FBI, not a magical island, so it was totally different.

“Key words there being ‘so far’,” Will shook his head. “Anyway. What brings you in today?”

[alwaysonguard]

"Wanted to stop by and see if there was anything from those handwavey tests from the last visit I needed to be worried about." Dwight fell silent for a moment and then added. "And to also make sure how you would want to handle things should I ever be here under a more... urgent... situation. I know I present a unique challenge with my Trouble and all, and while Fandom has been far less eventful in that regard than back home, it's still something that's kinda ingrained in me to be prepared for."

Cuz you know.... automatically attracting any bullet fired in the vicinity kinda makes one a liability in a lot of places.

Will shook his head. “Your labs all came back normal,” he assured him.

“And as for that other thing, well, obviously number one is don’t get shot, but I know that’s not always an option. But this place is… surprisingly up to date and well-equipped for a small-town clinic.”

[alwaysonguard]

"Good to hear... and I guess the island wants to make sure we are well equipment for anything that should happen." Dwight paused and gave Will a somewhat sarcastic smirk. "And yeah, will do my best to get shot."

[doctorgingerspice]

"You want to come take a look at the trauma rooms?" Will asked, standing up and gesturing for Dwight to follow him.

[alwaysonguard]

"Might be worth a look. Worried about others more than myself to be honest" Dwight said as he stood to follow Will. "Would rather stay away and figure out another option than put anyone else in danger by being around."

[doctorgingerspice]

On the one side of the hall were several exam rooms, all pretty identical to the one they'd used last week.

On the other, were the trauma rooms: fully-equipped to handle a variety of medical emergencies in various species.

"The glass is shatterproof," Will explained, gesturing to the sliding doors that opened into each of the rooms. "So as long as the door's closed, we're good." And to be honest, if whoever was firing a weapon was in the same room as Dwight and whoever was helping patch him up... well. They were probably in trouble regardless of Dwight's, er. Trouble.

[alwaysonguard]

Dwight let out an impressed whistle as he looked around.

"OK, gotta say I'm impressed" he said. "This place is even more with it than our main clinic back home in Haven."

So much so that is this clinic had been back home, he'd probably have been less concerned the times he did have to show up at the clinic to meet Gloria or Nathan about a Trouble case or something.

[doctorgingerspice]

“I guess when you’re dealing with invasions on a regular basis,” Will shrugged. He’d spent a lot of down time lately reading clinic notes. “You make sure you’re prepared for any eventuality.”

[alwaysonguard]

"Very true" Dwight allowed. "Though it is nice to not have to worry quite so much about it. In the unlikely chance I actually ever need anything more than a check up or two."

[doctorgingerspice]

Will nodded.

“I admit, I had concerns myself about the facilities when I first arrived. Glad to have been proven wrong.”

[alwaysonguard]

"I will say this" Dwight replied. "I've been here about six months now. This place is definitely full of unexpected surprises. Course, I guess tech is to be expected considering you have people from multiple times and universes even." Ya know, once you got that concept fully embedded in your brain.

[doctorgingerspice]

"There's equipment here I've never heard of before, and I do my best to keep on top of new tech," Will said. "So, uh, fingers crossed no one ends up needing any of that before I get myself up to speed."

[alwaysonguard]

"I'm sure you will do just fine, doc" Dwight said with a slight grin. "And you got a pretty good team of NPC staff here who have been keeping things running. Betcha they will have you up to speed in no time at all!"

[doctorgingerspice]

“I appreciate the confidence,” Will said with a grin of his own.
