001 ✚ The doctor is in.

[lesstalkmoresaw]

[BZZZT. Well look who we have here. It’s a big, sturdy man with a big old smiling face. He’s just turned the comm. device on, and now he’s backing away from the screen and threading his arms through a big, white lab coat.]

Hey there Academy. Students, staff. My name’s Sweet. Joshua Sweet, your resident doctor. I know most of you have

[ SHE WAS EXCITED TO SEE YOU AT FIRST.

NOW SHE'S CONFUSED. ]

So your name is Doctor Joshua Sweet and Kindly?

[lesstalkmoresaw]

No Kindly. Just Sweet. Though I'd like to be kind. Try to be. Most the time I think I am. Everybody's a bit grumpy sometimes.

You're a Queen now, aren'tcha? That's real good. How has it all been?

[ambushes_nerds]

[ She still doesn't get it. But you're talking way too fast. ]

I am. It is all that I though it would be and more, what with the Mist wreaking havoc.

[lesstalkmoresaw]

Well, well. Glad it's going well, despite all of that nasty black cloud out there. Gives me the creeps. I don't like it. But I don't have to.

I know this place could sure learn a lot from you. So I'm glad you're here. But you do need to come in. I need to give my favorite Atlantean a good ol' hug.

[cursedbyarose]

NO.

[Short, sweet and to the point. He's not going to see Sweet.]

[lesstalkmoresaw]

[Now what in the hell is this creature? Nothing should surprise him at this point. Nothing. But it does, even if he's just going to keep talking as if there isn't a beast in his video feed.]

Fine then.

Come on in and we'll have a bit of a talk.

[cursedbyarose]

What part of "no" isn't getting through your head?

[lesstalkmoresaw]

The part that would rather see you...uh... alive in my office than on the brink of not bein' so.

[Gulp. So the beastly creature has a temper. Best to be careful about the insistence.]

[tch_duh]

[sniffle sniffle.] Welcome to the academy, Doc! I won't be needing any check-up though. I never get sick. [cough cough.]

[lesstalkmoresaw]

Now, now. That's not how this works, little lady.

You come in. I get to meet you. You tell me all those things my files are missin'. I make sure you're all lookin' good.

Plus, everybody gets sick. You do, I do. Everybody does. Even their dogs and cats and all them there pets. Therefore, you need me.

You are?

[tch_duh]

[sniffle cough sniffle.] Jade Chan a.k.a. the girl who does not get sick! [Sneeze! Apparently this is what happens when she plays in the rain for too long.]

Uh, ignore that.

[lesstalkmoresaw]

Uh-huh. That's what I thought.

Looks like you need to stop in. Now that I have a face to go with that name of yours, I'll be lookin' for you. Don't think you can scoot by either.

Wouldn't have mattered anyway. I need to see you, you need to get to know me. Simple as that.

So, nice to meet you.

[kitchentothrone]

Nice to meet you, doctor.

Umm... There won't be any needles will there? I don't think my arms have a lot of blood in them anyway. [shows his very skinny arms]

[lesstalkmoresaw]

I don't know. I don't know you yet, and therefore, I don't know what'choo gonna need. Or what I'm gonna need from you.

What's your name, hmm? You got plenty o' blood in you yet.

[kitchentothrone]

My name's Arthur, sir. I don't think there's anything wrong with me, i feel pretty good.

[lesstalkmoresaw]

I don't think anything's wrong. Doesn't have to be. I just wanna get to know you. Doctor to patient.

None of that sir business. I'm not that old yet. You just call me Sweet, Arthur. Do what you can to keep yourself well and I'm nothin' but.

[hadesbb]

I'unno, I'm in pretty good shape if I do say so myself.

[Video killed the radio star~]

[lesstalkmoresaw]

[Allow Sweet to just blink for a few moments. The guy on the comm is not only blue, but has hair that is blue fire.]

Holdup. Whatareyou, exactly? Some kinda... I don't even know. You tell me.

[Pictures came and broke my heart]

[hadesbb]

Well, [He shrugs a shrug that says "no biggie" because he is a smug blue man.] I'm just, y'know, a god and whatnot. Of the underworld to be exact. The name's Hades, Hi.

[lesstalkmoresaw]

[A deity? Ohwelldamn. Not sure he wants to mess with that. Especially not of the dead.]

You're probably not to big on me, are you? Saving lives isn't exactly what you hope for at night.
