I have one question and one important announcement.

The question:

Do you pull the lever?

As for the announcement, the hospital now has a wing to treat magical maladies. Witch doctors and the like are welcome to come check it out. People with magical maladies also welcome to come get treated, I don't know how any of this shit works.

Comments

[badlydisarmed]

Much appreciated. Give him a little kiss for me.

[oblige]

We do not have that kind of relationship.

[badlydisarmed]

That's what makes it funny.

[oblige]

I fail to see the humor in it.

[badlydisarmed]

Yes, I'm noticing. You got magic but no sense of fun.

[oblige]

Do not confuse me with Odin.

[badlydisarmed]

Is that Joss? He must be, he's the least fun person I have ever met, and I've met many comatose patients.

[oblige]

Yes, that is Odin.

[ Not even defending him... ]

[badlydisarmed]

Of course he is. But he'll always be Joss to me ♥

[oblige]

You would make of it a nickname?

[badlydisarmed]

Joss isn't a nickname, Joss is a name. The name he uses.

[oblige]

You'll not convince me that he selected it.

[badlydisarmed]

I don't have to. It's the name he keeps using, no one's forcing him to.

[oblige]

It is neither how he introduces himself nor what he would respond to if called upon.

[badlydisarmed]

I hear you, but he wouldn't respond to any name if I was the one calling upon him.

And again, Joss Sweden is the only one he's given me.

[oblige]

Has he ever introduced himself as such?

[badlydisarmed]

He's never introduced himself as anything and he never will. That man only interacts with me because we have acquaintances in common and he thinks I'm a rat.

[oblige]

[ Dion is, at best, a source of entertainment if Odin is bored and seeks battle. He understands. ]

I can well imagine who that must be.

Should you wish to know, Barnabas is his given name. More formally, Odin.

[badlydisarmed]

Thanks, I doubt it'll come up but I'll keep it in mind.

I'm Doctor Robert Romano, it's been brought to my attention that I forgot to introduce myself.

[oblige]

So we've a doctor among us.

My name is Dion Lesage. Please, call me Dion.

[ Not that Bahamut would be incorrect, and he will answer to that, but... ]

[badlydisarmed]

[ Of course he's asking. Why would he not ask? ]

Why the username?

[oblige]

I thought it more pithy than my given name. "Dion" may be one of many in the vastness of a multiverse, and I like not the appearance of merging my names into a singular word or using characters to approximate a space between them.

I am also Bahamut.

[ He's a bookwyrm, he has opinions on words. So many. ]

[badlydisarmed]

Your name is Dion Lesage Bahamut? Or is Bahamut a title? Bahamut Dion Lesage?

[oblige]

It is a distinction of a kind.

Dion Lesage is my name. I am also Dominant of Bahamut, Warden of Light.

And no, it is not a "sex thing"

[ Thank you, Jayce, for setting that precedent. ]

[badlydisarmed]

I'm sure it could be if you really wanted it.
