Application for Carla Espinosa (Scrubs)

[carlaespinosa]

((OOC: Application done with the permission of the Scrubs-muns. Carla is taken from just after the canon events of 'My Nightingale' (S2, ep 2), though she's been at Sacred Heart for the time that the HH Scrubs chars have been gone. Enjoy!))

Hello, zesty newcomer. I watched this new woman with a smile, listening to her fill out her answers and cocking my head at the end. Couldn't hurt to try to make new friends here, right? I'd been a bit lacking on them. Here, at least, there was Logan, but sans the Wallace and the Mac Attack? I was a little lonely.

"Scrabble, huh?" I greeted with a grin, shifting the messenger bag up further onto my shoulder. Actually, the back rub sounded much, much better - considering all of the stress I'd been under, between not being able to figure out this stupid popcorn case and, you know, screwing my boyfriend for the first time because of an aphrodisiac brownie, but that was beside the point. Besides, I don't know how homophobia rolled with other girls around here. If Weevil was anything to go off of, though, those of Latin origin were very touchy around it.

"I could always use a Scrabble competitor." I flexed an arm muscle, grinning. "Still trying to find someone to use the ol' 'aerenchymata' on."

"Man, I should start a tournament," Carla smiled back. "And please. I'm a nurse. Last time I won by using 'caenorhabditis'. Bring it on, baby."

[earthto_mars]

"Scrabble tournament? We would dominate!" I have played many a game against Backup, I'll have you know. And my dad's not back either, naturally. "A nurse, huh? Lots of big medical lingo for me to look up on Dictionary.com," I shot back with a grin, raising an eyebrow. What? I could not let her get away with making up her own words!

[carlaespinosa]

"Oh, honey, please. We will so wipe the floor with the rest of these losers." Carla had no idea who this girl was, but, hey. Scrabble tournament for the win.

[nervous_guy]

Holy crap!

Doug could only grin at the newfound applicant, something automatically brightening in his eyes. "Carla!" Sure, she was scary and Spanish and stuff, but it was someone else from Sacred Heart! ...Someone who wasn't Doctor Cox!

[carlaespinosa]

"Dr. Murphy," Carla grinned. "Dr. Cox had told me you were around." Aww, cute little kicked puppy Doug. "How are you?"

[nervous_guy]

Heh, she called him 'Doctor Murphy'. ...Not too many people did that anymore. Never mind at Sacred Heart; but here? He was just, 'oh, DOUG', usually followed by a palm to the speaker's forehead.

Doctor Cox was talking about him? ...Oh, man, oh, man, that was not a good thing. Guy still had his pager! "O-oh," he stammered to himself, eyes widening a little in paranoia. Erm. Right! Focus on Carla. Not on Big Scary Doctor Man and the Pager. How was he? "I fought a boggart," he announced proudly, nodding once. ...That sounded like a personal problem. Moving along. "And, I mean, what about you? Carla...?"

[carlaespinosa]

A...boggart? What the hell was a boggart? "That's great!" she smiled. Talking to Doug was like talking to a nervous one-legged blind man who was standing on the edge of a roof. You didn't want to startle him and there could be no sudden movements. "Me? Well, I'm..." She gestured around with a half-laugh. "I'm in a gigantic freaking castle all of a sudden. So I guess 'crazier than normal'."

"Ed wants a pen!"

[carlaespinosa]

...

Okay. "Maybe Ed should ask for a pen then, huh?" Carla said, tipping one eyebrow up. "Instead of demanding."

Hey, she had cousins. She could handle kids.

[tomatohacker]

"Oh!" Ed thunked herself on the head in mild rebuke.

"Can Ed have a pen, pleeeeeeeeeeeease?"

[carlaespinosa]

Carla smiled. "Better." She handed the girl a pen. "You're welcome," she prompted.

[ugly_old_hat]

The Hat considered Carla. "Well, I don't quite know where to place you, woman. You're not quite a doctor, not quite a drunk."

[carlaespinosa]

Okay, this must be the 'talking hat' thing Cox had warned her about. She should be more shocked. Instead, arching one eyebrow, Carla smirked slightly. "Hell no, I'm not a doctor. I'm the one who does all the work."

A pause. "And what does being a drunk have to do with this?" Because if she had to be in this room, talking to some anamorphic moldy hat, she might become one.

[ugly_old_hat]

Well, she might not have been a doctor, and whether she was a drunk or not was yet to be determined, but she certainly had the bitch factor. "It's got everything to do with it," the Hat explained matter-of-factly, albeit a little bit testily. "How did the staff at the schools you went to determine where people should be placed? Test scores?" The Hat snorted, or perhaps it ruffled its brim and the resulting noise sounded like a snort. Either way, the Hat was clearly being derisive.

[carlaespinosa]

"Yeah," Carla returned the snort, rolling her eyes. "How silly of them. Who knew that the cutting edge of placing students was in their drinking habits?" Oh, this Hat was not getting attitude.

[ugly_old_hat]

Not quite a doctor, not quite a drunk, but 100% beeyotch! You turned out to be quite easy to Sort after all!

Your bribe has been accepted.

Welcome to Ravenclaw!
