New Year's Day is spent talking with
Kate Warner and
Ben Wade.
Several days later, he meets
Ramon Salazar, talks with
Johnny Smith, and also talks to
Carlotta Brown, as well as
Paul Avery.
He also talks with
Merlin, briefly, and
Kate Warner again.
And several days after that, he talks with
Attila,
Atton,
Charlie,
Camille Montes, and
Guppy and his son Alexander.
He stops by
Jack Sparrow's happy hour,
folds cranes with Nita.
Then, he
sets off on a bit of a trip.
He finds work, and also
does that work before there is some time for
rest and relaxation on the farm.
(Meanwhile, back in Milliways, someone leaves him a
gift, in the form of Inari paying off his tab.)
Still on the Barlow estate, he
leans a lesson, then a few days later
big news comes to town and that causes a need for serious conversation. Eventually, he
has to leave Heyser, but not before making a promise.
When he finds himself back in the bar, he talks with
Demeter and Kate Warner, as well as catches up with
Agent K. The next day, he chats with
Guppy.
For the start of February, he
grabs breakfast and does some reading while chatting with Atton. He also talks to
Demeter and attends
Life Support, as well as talks to
Lisa Cuddy.
The next day, he meets
Ellen Park and they talk guns, nukes, and other delightful topics of conversation. He also stops by Happy Hour and talks with
Yrael.
He visits
Indy's Happy Hour and also
meets Luke Smith. In doing so, he picks up the 'Doppelganger' nightmare and
has that nightmare before he unknowingly passes it off to
Johnny Smith.
A couple days later, Katherine
returns, but it's not in a way he's hoping for. After they
heads upstairs, there's a brief conversation before they go to sleep. When he wakes up and she's gone, he goes looking for her. He finds
Ben Wade instead.
Monday, instead of looking for anyone,
Kate Warner comes looking for him.
Tuesday, he finally drags himself downstairs, and talks to
Esfir,
Charlie,
Kate Bishop, and
Will, also getting some books and a note (and food) from
Kate Warner. Later that day, Ramon comes downstairs
advertising for a doctor and Doc answers the 'call', to the tune of 10k in cash. That night, he meets a newcomer to the bar,
Bryan Mills.
The next night, he and Billy
talk and get drunk.
The night after that, he talks with
Ellen Park about radioactive booze, talks about guns and violence with
Croupe and Vandemar, talks about plans for Valentine's Day with
Kate Warner, talks about cowboys with
Barty Lampion and talks bourbon with
Zed.
Eventually,
Katherine comes back. Then they end up
upstairs. A few nights later, they
talk again and then end up upstairs,
again. [Adult content warning!]
A few days later, he talks with
Kate Warner,
Guppy,
Ben Wade,
Charlie, and also meets
Olga.
Katherine has a
nightmare a few days later, and a few days after that, she
comes upstairs to talk to him. He also
talks football with Bill Pardy.
Kissing your girlfriend when she has a cold will get you sick, and Doc finds that out the hard way when he gets a case of the sniffles. He talks with
Katherine (who feeds him),
Ellen (who makes him promise to not get worse without seeing a doctor),
Charlie (who happens to be a woman at the time), and
Esfir (who needed a booth to hide in).
He also assists Parker with a situation involving a
gun, and that night he and Katherine
go night swimming and talk a bit. Katherine
leaves two days later.
The next day he
and Bill talk again, about Katherine.
