[It’s a late night post, a video display of Zack from his chin on down, facing a clear glass bowl with a golden fish idly swimming in lackadaisical circles. He really needs to put more stuff in there, you know. Fake plastic trees. Treasure chests. Something. Gil has to get bored with just those precious rocks given to him from small, kind hands…]

That doesn't look good.

[ Sorry Zack. He is a doctor.

Well.

When it isn't annoying. ]

[Doctors? Totally his kryptonite, especially since the docs/scientists he knew primarily were people like Hojo and Hollander. ]

Huh? Oh! [He looks down at his hand, out of camera range.] It's not so bad, really. Just healing up kinda slow. I'll be fine.

[ Some doctors aren't completely crazy. ]

It wouldn't be wise to leave it. Have you seen a professional?

[ video ]

[i_love_squats]

[What?? You mean, it's not in their job description to be batshit insane? Why didn't anyone give Hojo the memo? ]

I--um-- I'm getting it taken care of. Besides, I don't want to bug anyone with it, not when they're busy with other stuff.

[And not when he's scared of the white coats...]

[ He must have forgotten to check his email that day. ]

You'll put doctors out of business with an attitude like that.

[ In other words, why can't more patients be like you. But, he does have to express the offer. It's part of that oath they take. ]

Are you sure? It wouldn't be any trouble.

[ Good thing for Zack. Jin doesn't look that good in white. His coat is green. ]

[Figures, am I right?]

And that would be a bad thing? [Oh, social mistake, big time there. But he's none the wiser. Ho hummm.

[At least, he's not until you just had to go and say that at the end.] Wai--are you a doctor?

[Excuse him; Zack hasn't been paying attention to a lot lately.]

[ video ]

[swordofmiltia]

[ He was probably busy. ]

Perhaps not, but it would be unfortunate for you.

[ Social mistake? Don't know what you're talking about. ]

I've read a few medical books in my day. [ Totally kidding. ] I'm not busy, at least.

[i_love_squats]

[Busy being craaazzzyyy.]

Hey, some folks like doctors, and some of them even come in hand. Sometimes. But me? I'm, uh, not so sure about it.

[Nothing to see here, nope nope.]

How many is a few? [As if there's a cutoff...]

[ video ]

[swordofmiltia]

[ Crazy doctor things? ]

Enough to pass as a doctor.

[ Doesn't that put you at ease? ]

Would you like a list of my credentials?

[ video ]

[i_love_squats]

[Yeah. Who needs healthy relationship when you can have crazy doctor things?]

N-No! Credentials won't help, really. I'm okay. Right as rain. Promise!

[And yes, his voice went up an octave.]

[ video ]

[swordofmiltia]

[ Exactly! ... wait. [

Hmn. [ He's amused. ]

Very well. Though next time, do try to avoid injuring yourself, if doctors aren't your thing.

[ video ]

[i_love_squats]

[Yeah, that tricks all the doctors, every time.]

Well, it's not like I did it on purpose!

[And have a puppy pout. He doesn't like your accusation, sir.]

[ video ]

[swordofmiltia]

[ That is a cheap trick. ]

What did happen?

[ That pout. How like a child. It'd be cute. If it were on a puppy or a child. ]

[ video ]

[i_love_squats]

[Oh? What was that? Couldn't hear you over all the tricking going on.]

Got into a little scuffle with someone. Nothing I couldn't handle.

[Well, some folks DO call him a puppy...]

[ video ]

[swordofmiltia]

[ ): ]

Hmn.

[ In other words, the blame was half and half. ]

Is this the moment you say 'you should see the other guy'?

[ He can certainly sound like a puppy. ]

[ video ]

[i_love_squats]

[:D]

[Wellll, not exactly...]

Nah, but I wish I could say that. [Ouch. Failure reminders sucks.]

[Woof! But he's back to pouting again.]
