Okay, okay, you know what? So I find out that I have work, at the hospital! Great, right?

No. I'm a nurse, and I'm not okay with that. You know why? Because I'm a surgeon. I am a great, amazing surgeon. I'm the Head of my department! I graduated first in my class from Johns Hopkins, I won the Carter Maddison Grant. You know who wins that for

Welcome to Mayfield. Nothing they do here makes any sense.

[raisedtolove]

I think that might be a little too optimistic, even for me.

[weaponsparked]

Well, it's true. They won't even let females drink. I don't see why.

[raisedtolove]

Excuse me?

[Some ways down the aisle, there's an Asian woman squinting at labels and muttering beneath her breath. She has a large shopping cart with her, and seems to be confused or annoyed or homicidal... No, wait, it's all three.]

Pickled... beet.

[Shudder.]

( Arizona glances over, and then proceeds to steer her cart towards Mystery Beet Woman. )

Pickled beet? ( Her brow. BEHOLD. It furrows. ) That doesn't sound healthy or delicious.

[lotuslife]

[She looks up just in time to behold the brow! It is a very good furrow.] I imagine they are not. [She bites her lower lip.] This town has not had a very good track record with beets. [She slides the jar back onto the shelf.]

[raisedtolove]

It doesn't seem to have a good track record with anything! ( SO VERY CHIPPER. She grins, and leans against her cart. ) What they do to the beets? Was it some sort of... sad, Cold War borscht?

[coolbowtie]

Oooh, a doctor. We need a good doctor around here, I keep getting mistaken for one anyway, so now I can redirect them to you!

Anyway, welcome to Mayfield, sorry about the old-fashioned human sexism.

[raisedtolove]

You get mistaken for one? Do you... tend to wear a stethoscope and a white coat? I can see how that would confuse people.

(She's shrugging, even if the good fellow can't see ) It's fine. ( Not really, but at least she appreciates the sentiment. ) Did you just say... human sexism?

[coolbowtie]

No, I don't. I think it's the name that confuses people, they need to pay more attention to the definite article.

And, yes, I did!

[raisedtolove]

I... see. What's your name, if you don't mind me asking?

Right. Okay. As opposed to... what other kind of sexism?

( HI, random person whose lawn she's on. She'll lift up her arm that was, until this point, flopped over her eyes, and gives a half-hearted wave. )

I'm fine! Just... tired. ( And she props herself up on her elbows-- ) I've just been sprawled out on your lawn, haven't I? I'm sorry.

[raisedtolove]

Me? Oh, no. ( She grins, albeit tiredly. ) I'm just super!

( Pulling herself into a sitting position-- ) This place is just bigger than I expected, you know? Go out for a run, wind up napping on random lawns.

[ Komachi stares at the person flopped on her lawn. Stares.

However, she eventually decides 'what the hell' and flops down herself. SUP. ]

Re: C

[raisedtolove]

( OH HI. Arizona will waves, and then smile a bit when she now has flopped-over company. )

Nice weather, huh?

[rivercrossed]

It's a bit cold, but refreshing! Ah, it's nice when it's like this~

[raisedtolove]

Yeah. Not a bad spot, huh? ( Apart from the whole... creepy 50s suburb thing. ) I like the cold. It's kind of comforting.

( Not moving, but she extends a hand to shake. ) I'm Arizona.
