[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?

[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.]

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?

[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.

[ 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?

[the one thing she had hoped to not say out loud is now out there. So much for keeping that to the professionals.]

Yeah... I guess.

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

Are you injured?

[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?

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.

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

Yeah, you guessed it. I can explain some things about the city if you want, but first...

You sure you aren't injured? Seemed like you were in a hurry to find a doctor.

Do you know how to make this private? [Even if Scott and his uneven jaw carrying mouth already blabbed about her.]

Priv--oh! [Merlin fiddles with the bracelet for a moment.]

There, that should do it.

[She exhales, letting out a breath she had been holding.]

It's not an injury. I mean, it's a condition. It's just something that I have all the time.

Do you know about neurological things?

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

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

Are you a doctor?

After a fashion. I can help.

I'd prefer a doctor.

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

Be careful. There's a lot of people who offer help and ultimately only want to hurt you. I would name names, but I'm afraid.

Good luck.

Not really--I'm...from the past. But that shouldn't be a problem. The way healing works, I can sense where the problem is and focus on that area.

[He looks thoughtful for a moment.]

Should I come find you? It might be easier to explain all of this in person.

[ 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. ]

The past? Like the seventies?

[That's just weird. An anonymous person, sending private messages, saying they're afraid. Of what? Her blabbing the secret fears of some complete stranger?]

Yeah, okay. thanks

[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.]

Er...the seventies? [Merlin echoes, quirking a brow in confusion.] Let's just say I'm from a long time ago.
