THE DOCTOR IS IN

Guppy is in a booth, writing a letter while he waits for any potential patients.

He chews the end of his pen for a moment, then writes.

'I have explained to Alexander that a staplegun is not a suitable item to bring to nursery and will be very careful to make sure he doesn't get hold of such items in the

"Pardon me," a little costumed girl says, "I know I'm not supposed to be in here but I'm looking for someone. Have you seen a little boy with a green cape and a silver helmet with little wings? He has blond hair." This last she adds when she realizes he may have taken the helmet off.

"Um... I don't think so. Do you have a picture?" Guppy asks.

"No I don't, sorry. He's a fellow student. We're here for the Career Day out there," she says with a thumb jerk towards the front door.

"What's his name?" Guppy asks.

Clementine has never been gladder to see a man than she is to see Guppy right now. She rushes over from the bar proper.

"Hi - you said if I came back in a week I could get a definitive pregnancy test?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Ah, yes! Sorry for the delay." Guppy says, getting up. "Do you want to come on through?"

"What am I walking into?" the Fool asks as he peers at Guppy curiously. "I am assuming you don't mean the table, because that is counterproductive. Though..." he continues.

"If you are a doctor then perhaps people walking into tables is what you want so you would have patients."

It's Fool's logic. He's leaning heavily on his walking stick today. Honestly being here is taking up a lot of Luck and charm and so his body is paying for it. He figures he's gotten bad enough luck getting stuck here, he doesn't want any more.

"Hm? ...oh! Hah, yes, good one. It just means you don't have to make an appointment." Guppy says. "I don't get paid per patient, it's more like the NHS, so no benefit in generating more work."

[forgottenmotley]

"That's awfully kind of you. You must like your job to do it when you're not there," he says.

"What's the NHS?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Well, it's mostly that there's a need here, so I and others try to provide." Guppy says. "National Health Service, what we have at home. Free health care. Would you like some tea?"
