[Erica isn't planning on ever using the video feature of this thing. There are just some bridges that she won't cross no matter what Isaac tells her about her future. Her fingers rub against her palm as she takes a breath to start talking. She's not sure who is listening or how someone even knows to listen. Either way, the one thing she's glad she doesn't have to ask for is clothing. Even after borrowing something from Isaac, she got to her own room and found that there was something for her to wear. It wasn't the most fashionable thing, but Erica hasn't been concerned with that for a while. She does however have to be concerned about her medical conditions.

Which is not the easiest thing to talk about, let alone aloud, over a network, to who knows how many complete strangers.]

I guess there are people here from all over - not just locations, but time too. I was wondering if there were any doctors here. Earth... twenty-first century. Preferably with experience with neurological disorders. [Okay. She gets that out there and takes a breath. Her fingers rub against the heel of her hand, squeezing her hand into a tight fist for a moment.]

Even from ahead of that time might work. [Isaac told her there were Gods that she could talk to, but there's something weird to her about asking about that. She just hopes this will help. Not that she believes she needs this, but just in case. Just in case.]

Thanks... in advance.

[She stops the audio portion and heads outside, intending to just wander the city and try not to get lost. It feels like relearning the layout of the high school at the beginning of the school year. Finding the shortest paths between classes, making sure you can swing by your locker if you need to drop something off. She might wander right into someone new.]

[ That voice... It doesn't sound at all like the confident voice he's used to, it sounds almost frail, but it's Erica without a doubt. ]

Erica? [ It's been a long time since she was here before. ] When did you get back? [ He's obviously concerned about her asking for doctors. He figures it's to do with her epilepsy, which she must be suffering again since they no longer have the perfect health package they had as werewolves. ] Are you okay?

audio || gosh scott

[better]

[Back? See, that's... new.]

I'm fine. What do you mean... back? [She has a confused look on her face. One he can't see, but it's there.]

audio || gosh erica have it your way

[mccallmemaybe]

You were here before, a while ago... but I guess you don't remember. Sometimes people don't remember being here when they come back after being sent home.

What's the last thing you remember before coming here?

audio || gosh she doesn't need to stare at you

[better]

[hmmm. Isaac told her stuff about Scott. She wonders if she's supposed to know that.]

I was at the hospital. Your mom had just left me.

audio || excuse you, his face should be stared at like a piece of dumb puppy art :c

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Woah, Scott was not expecting that reply. Usually anyone he knows from home that gets sent here is ahead of the time where he's from, not that far in the past. ]

You mean after your seizure on the climbing wall? [ That feels like a lifetime ago. ] So you haven't met Derek yet?

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

[Guess what part he zoomed in on? It starts with "d" and ends with "octors".]

Are you injured?

audio ||

[better]

[She looks at the video and makes a face. If she had been injured why wouldn't she say that? Why would someone casually talk about doctors and when she's from...? Either way, she's not injured.]

Oh, uh, no -- I'm not injured. [She has a pre-existing medical condition, but no current injuries.] Are you a doctor?

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Something like that. Healer, actually. I work at the Sigyn hospital. [The way she'd been talking about "this place" had tipped him off to her newcomer status.]

If there's something you need looked at, I can try to help.

[better]

Healer? Is that what the Gods gave you here? [She might be new, but she's learning quick.]

[private//anonymous;;text]

[sneakyshoes]

Oh, no. What's the matter, dear?

ditto. sans anon.

[better]

[That sounds like an old person that's trying to learn how to be cool with texting.]

Are you a doctor?

[sneakyshoes]

After a fashion. I can help.

[better]

I'd prefer a doctor.

[Actually, she'd prefer not an anonymous response.]

action;

[nukeoleptic]

[ It isn't Jade who approaches Erica first, but instead an enthusiastic German Shepherd pup dragging a long green leash behind him. He seems friendly- or at least non-aggressive- as he comes barreling for her legs.

Bear with him, Erica- Jade won't be far behind. ]

action → forever

[better]

[The dog does indeed barrel into her and she loses her footing for a moment before re-steadying herself. She glances down, her hands up near her chest just because she hasn't been expected to be mauled down by a dog. Erica turns to try and spot the owner of the dog.]

[nukeoleptic]

Sorry! I'm sorry!

[ Jade is seen chasing after him in pretty short order, pressing one hand to her face when she seems to realize that he's actively bothering someone else. Her own ears - fluffy white dog ones - are pinned back against her head. She's embarrassed, and she whistles low for the dog, who seems to be more interested in sniffing Erica's feet than returning to Jade. ]

I'm sooo sorry. He's nice, I promise, just- kind of really dumb.

[better]

It's okay. [Erica stands there, trying to decide if she wants to pet the dog or just wait for the dog to go away.]

I just didn't expect it.

[Voice | Private]

[hadbadays]

I'm a doctor. Have you gotten help yet?

[ So maybe he checked through the other replies first (you never know what you might find) and saw Merlin's response. ]

audio || private

[better]

What sort of doctor? [Because, now she's been warned about doctors and she's talking to a magician... sort of.]

audio || private

[hadbadays]

A twenty-first century army doctor. I trained at Bart's in London, if you've heard of it.

audio || private

[better]

I've heard of London, but not Bart's. [She doesn't want to blame her age, but she just turned sixteen and high school education doesn't usually focus on things that don't relate to how awesome the United States are.]

Have you done anything with neurology before? [She's not sure if the army would have someone that specialized.]

video;

[bluespacebabe]

Well, there's a hospital...and I was in training to be a doctor, but that wasn't really my field.

audio ||

[better]

[Erica is lucky that she's not using video on this, because this person is blue.

They are blue and Erica is staring.]

What kind of doctor were you training to be?

[bluespacebabe]

[It wouldn't have come to a surprise. Sadly, he's gotten used to the fact that apparently where everybody else comes from, everyone seems to be only one species. How terribly odd.]

Oh, an army doctor! For TITAN, but I don't imagine that you've heard of him.

[better]

No... well, Titan is the name of one of Mars' moons.

But I don't know any person named that.
