Attention Fellow People of Etraya,

I am Doctor Daniil Dankovsky, Bachelor of Medicine. As I understand it, few of you have seen a doctor lately. That simply won’t do! Please, don’t wait to get sick to establish care. I am situated in the hospital, ready to take consent forms and make updated medical histories. At least a few of you have unaddressed concerns, I just know it. The average person comes to see the doctor when it’s too late! Though we cannot die here, there is no reason to suffer unduly.

And if you are otherwise healthy, perhaps think of it as helping me out. In the event of an outbreak, it is far more helpful to have complete clinical pictures of the inhabitants. Especially, as I understand it, there are many biological differences in this population.

Please come visit me during my clinic hours, every day from 10am to 6pm.


[What Daniil really wants is to meet more of the unusual inhabitants of Etraya more quickly as well as conduct casual interviews of the sort of people who are slated to save the universe. But he can’t just say that completely outright.]

[with a slight wryness, smiling crookedly:] You've seen me hold a needle, Daniil.

[thantagonist]

[Daniil laughs.]

That’s right. I have. Well… it’s a little different with skin. You have to use forceps. You can’t merely rotate a patient how you might a flower. And we were using my non-boilable catgut without no antiseptics. That wasn’t a very sterile procedure.

Unfortunately, I don’t think that patient made it.

[Daniil is back into his comfort zone.]

You don’t seem to really sleep. But do you eat? Or do you just drink honeysuckle nectar like the rest of the fae? [As he playfully looks at Tristan’s pointed ears.]

[numinousname]

I think that 'patient' was lost because I caused you to collapse, not any failure on your part. [they're still smiling, despite the admission to something not smile-worthy. they even breathe a little, incredulous laugh at the suggestion.]

Well, I've never met a true fae myself, so I'll assume you're the expert. But yes, I do eat. I can't say I've ever had nectar before, unless it happened in my forgotten past. [which could ALSO be fae-based, but whatever man!!]

[thantagonist]

I wish I understood how that worked. You should tell me everything you know about it over- [He looks at a clock and his brows raise.] lunch.

I’ve never met a fae at all, I don’t think. What’s this about a “true fae”?
Are there false fae?

[Daniil pulls on his leather coat, significantly increasing his relative bulk before leading them out of the room.]
