093. Diagnosis

Doctor Allison Cameron, you can start formally apologizing....now. If you need any hints, if nothing at all comes to mind, just ask. I'll be sure to supply you with a bevy of ways to make amends.

I think that I'll call in sick with a sudden case of hopefully temporary Charles Bonnet syndrome.

[though it's barely audible, you can probably make out some of the background babbling if you try.]

Why should you have to make amends for something you didn't intend to do?

Oh be nice, it was an awful situation and besides he's suffering now, if you can make it any better you should.

You know I don't believe anything I said. But I am sorry.

"Doctor Caaaameron. This is gonna be great. Hey, you think her little people are up to something? We can have a play date."

"Predictable. So predictable. On your part. On her part."

"She could get you vicodin. At this rate we're not going to have enough to last the day. So much for building up to a wane."

"I will murder you all and not bother to buy tiny caskets. Be. Quiet."

You're right. I don't. But that was on the network.

I was going to make a statement about it, as soon as I... [pause. fill in the blank here, as soon as I get these stupid things to shut up,] get a chance to.

Which is absolutely ridiculous because everyone knows how this works, you shouldn't have to apologize.

Good. Don't want you falling off your game.

"You could play a trick on her."

"Then she'll really delight in talking to you. Where did you find this guy?"

"Play nice. Get what you want."

Are you really going to let him make you feel bad? You didn't do anything!

I don't feel responsible for it. But I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea, because of what the curse made me write.

Which is perfectly reasonable and rational, give her a break!

Don't tell me what to do, you suck-up!

That's because you're smart. I'll look forward to it.

"Wasted opportunity."

"Way to keep it realistic. Besides, too much to deal with at the moment. Maybe sleep would be best. Too bad it's only for a certain number of hours."

"Is there something to take in the apartment that would do the job?"

voice;

[as_damaged]

But you do feel responsible, don't you?
If she does then he'll call her an idiot, and be right.

Right.

[Awkward pause of awkward, because... well, ignoring those would be polite, but. Cameron's a worrier.]

Are you... other than the curse, all right?

voice;

[vicodincrutch]

Fine. Agitated.

"Liar, liar."

"No, half truth. He's been worse. And he is agitated. Which is both of your doing."

"Both lies."

Your obligations are entirely filled and you don't need to get involved in this.
You think this isn't important?

Is your leg worse?

Today isn't helping my threshold. No biggie. I'm working out a rational solution.
