I'm working on cleaning up/clearing out more of the hospital. I was wondering if anyone either wanted to lend a hand, or if there was any um...I dunno, 'features' you'd like to see here? Stuff to make it more comfortable? Needs that aren't being addressed?

Private Message for Tony
How are you with locks?
[He turns the camera to point at a complicated looking lock located somewhere in the hospital, and then back at himself with a pointed frown.]

Private Message for Tommy
You literally have super speed, why are your clothes all over the floor?

Private Message for Soldier
Super important question- Coffee? Tea? Or Hot Chocolate? Which is the correct choice?
[Billy tries to maintain a very serious expression. He is not succeeding.]

That depends. How attached are you to the...door? Container? Take a step back, sweetheart, let me take it all in.

[video]

[wearingthestars]

Not at all really, but I can't magic it open or myself inside so I think it requires the help of someone smarter than me.

[Billy laughs and turns the camera to properly show off the vault.]

I think this is the part of the hospital for like the really bad stuff...infectious stuff. I thought if we could get it open we could use it or...I dunno, store dangerous stuff in there? Is that dumb?

[still text]

[in_extremis]

It's a little dumb, mostly because I'm so much smarter than you.

You think it would be beneficial to open the door that is so strictly sealed that you can't even warp reality around it.

This place is not a place of honour, etc.

They must really not want us in there.

Ten minutes, tops.

[wearingthestars]

Yeaaah, I figured it needed the big guns looking at it. I dunno what the hell I'm doing.
You think it's the sort of dangerous we should put to a vote or something? Or...deal with ourselves like the palace?

[ Hi Billy. Meet Wesker. ]

A lab. That place useless if any proper bloodwork needs to get done. But the overall state of that place is poor at best. How have you been handling emergency surgeries or infections so far?

video

[wearingthestars]

Poorly? [Billy gives a bashful look.] I've been able to use my magic as a sort of...quick fix and luckily we haven't had too many emergencies, but it's definitely something we should work on.

Do you have any experience with lab work?

[sunglassesincluded]

If you must know, yes. Viral research, genetics, bioengineering. Countering potential bioterrorism used to be part of my job. I didn't expect an alien hospital to be entirely unprepared for a potential outbreak.

[wearingthestars]

[Billy looks hopeful.]

Really? Do you think- I mean...would you be interested in helping us out? Or even just helping me set up what we're missing. But it would be great to have someone here who actually had a background in...anything even kind of related to this.

[video]

[quintet]

Wait, do we have any actual medical staff here? I mean, aside from the, uh... Agri.

[She thinks she's pronouncing that right. She is also a cat, if that's relevant; certainly Quintet doesn't seem to think it is.]

I mean, they probably mean well, but are we sure they know what they're doing?

[video]

[wearingthestars]

[That's...a cat. Billy blinks. He just needs a second.]

Uhhh...yeah uh- kind of? I mean...a few of us have the medical data point. So not real doctors but...the closest we've got.[He points at himself.] The Agrii aren't really hands on. They're up in orbit somewhere.

[quintet]

Oh. Right, obviously, the— the information alembic thing.

[As handy as it is unsettling. But it's a good technology, she ought to see if she can reproduce it.]

Sorry, this is all still pretty new for me. I'm still getting my mouth around it.

[wearingthestars]

Alembic... [He can gather the meaning via context, but it's a word he's never heard thrown around before.]

No it's okay. We all go through that. I'd say you get used to it, but uh...you really don't. I'm Billy, by the way. Hi.

The correct choice is whichever one you're craving.

[Objectively he's not wrong; the correct choice for anyone at any moment should be the beverage one craves most of the available choices.]

[wearingthestars]

...you are such a butt. :)
Say I were to be actively on my way to surprise you with a hot drink.
Would one be preferable for any reason that doesn't involve what I'm having?

[sinistral]

Coffee. Black.

text (but also magic action)

[wearingthestars]

Thank you!

[And look at that, a moment latter there's a large black coffee suddenly sat before Soldier, cup protector even featuring a little doodle of the man. Billy must be near by. Maybe even watching to make sure his treat is discovered.]

Because, surprise surprise, I actually don't have all the time in the world. I was going to miss the train.

[wearingthestars]

What did you have like 5 seconds? The train goes a few times a day. Why the urgent need to bolt right then? The place looks like a hurricane hit it.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, I didn't have much time, and Reeve's stupid cat spilled something sticky on me. And I need to go harvest and still be back by night so I can cook. I'm sorry. Once I'm back I'll clean it up.

[small_compromise]

If we can make more areas sterile it would probably be best. Tony and I found some sort of creature in one of the cupboards so who knows what else has moved in.

[Video]

[wearingthestars]

Oh jeez. [Billy makes a face.] Yeaaaah. That...uh. We should take care of that. Where was it?

[Video]

[small_compromise]

Where we set up an emergency room for droids and similar. Admittedly it was a long while ago. But there are still a lot of places for things to hide.

[Audio]

[knightlyperformance]

Personally I'd rather want to avoid being in the hospital long enough to consider how to make it comfortable.

...but if you need a hand with anything, I've got loads of free time I guess.

[Audio]

[wearingthestars]

Sounds like something you're not used to.

We can always use more hands if you're up for it. But no pressure. I'm sure there's more fun things to occupy all that free time with. You should try and enjoy some of it.

[Audio]

[knightlyperformance]

Eh. [You can practically hear the shrug. It's not something he wants to focus on.]

Never had this much free time to kill, really. Not sure how to use it all. So yeah, no problem putting these hands to work.
