A spirit medium

In training?

What on earth is there to train? Don’t you just show up to a shop with a crystal ball one day and start swindling?

Edited 2026-05-09 00:05 (UTC)

that's NOT what spirit mediums do!!! we commune with the dead and channel them! Don't be fooled by what you see on TV!!

I don’t know what tv is, but more importantly training to be a medium isn’t a job.

That is studying, at best.

i AM a spirit medium but hold on one second you don't know what TV is??? seriously???

Now you hold on, you just said you were in training. It’s rather dangerous when a student promotes himself unduly. You wouldn’t want a doctor in training to take out your spleen, would you?

I’m dead serious. If I had to hazard a guess on why I don’t know what it is, it’s probably because I’m from a hundred years in the past relative to seemingly everyone else. From context it sounds like a radio, maybe. Or a film? So, what is a tv?

i can still do it! besides that doctor has to learn somehow don't they? geez. okay, this explains a LOT. you need to discover tv. it'll change your life! surely they have one at the hospital!

A doctor in training would never remove a spleen without supervision, much less alone. Surgery typically requires assistants. Unless he was some poor bastard out on the front lines of a war.

There isn’t. I asked about every bit of machinery here. There are computers, laptops, and monitors. There is nothing called a tv. So, what is it?

well when i've had to channel it's mostly in pretty desperate situations

[ she is afraid of it, actually.... ]

it's like... a play! but in a box! that you can watch any time! and lots of different genres! it's incredible. what do the patients watch?

[He remembers something he tried to repress about The Bachelor.]

Wait, are you talking about television? Why are you shortening it?

The patients don’t watch anything. They have to talk to me, and then I watch them.

[it sounds absurd but… maybe that would indeed make someone less restless while recuperating.]

But if they’re unwell enough to be in a hospital, they ought to just sleep.

Go on, tell me about your desperate channeling.

[Though he can think of a dozen times he wishes he could have spoken to the dead.]

yeah television! it's called tv for short. so you DO know what it is. don't they have off hours when they're recovering? or do you watch all of them all the time???

[ it does sound absurd ]

why do you want to know so badly anyway is it just so you can make fun of me

I can’t watch them all the time. That’s for the orderlies to do. I have to rest sometimes as well.

Have I maligned your trust so greatly already? I apologize. I’m not used to this sort of thing being real.

I want to hear about the emergency conjurings.

well yeah..... they deserve some time to relax too and i mean so do you

[ but he did apologize so she'll ease up ]

well usually i channel my sis to help nick out when he's really desperate. but i've also had to do it when i've gotten kidnapped or evil spirits have been after me.

[ you know. normal things ]

There are other relaxing activities. Like reading books or having tea. But none of that goes on at a hospital for me.

Oh, I believe I’ve met her.

[How many transparent women even like, could there be here.]

Of course. The name is familiar. Is she the only one you channel?

well at least you do SOMETHING to relax. tea's pretty nice.

[ is this bonding? ]

no but she's the one i channel most often. i trust her more than anything.

[Probably!]

When I can. It always seems like something’s happening.

So, you’ve been studying to speak with spirits? How long does that take?

like what? pretty much all my life. and i can do it. i have done it. i just need to become stronger that's all

[ she may or may not have a complex about this ]

Just busy, I suppose. Papers to write, people to meet, experiments to conduct, patients to see. We do have a mission here, after all. The one thing you can’t get more of is time, so you must use it wisely.

but you also gotta take care of yourself! that's wise time spent!

That’s true enough. I’d been daydreaming about sleeping in. Maybe I’ll close the clinic for a couple days.

There’s islands to explore. I haven’t seen all of it yet. It seems to take a very long time to take the trolley around this place. Have you seen much of it for yourself?

i'm sure you're not the only doctor around! but yeah! i've looked around a little! there's so much to explore you know.

The other doctor is surgeon. He won’t be interested in my duties.

See anything particularly interesting to you? I saw a place called “Snake Island”.

snake island? Is it full of snakes?! i guess that's the obvious conclusion huh

It is indeed the obvious conclusion, but I’m not sure. It would stand to reason, but who hasn’t been to some town or land named for an animal that was only there in memory?

I suppose we could go look.

i'm game if you are doctor!

I could use some fresh air. I’ll meet you at the main station trolley.
