I should have done this a while ago...

[Oh, look. There's Holiday again, this time with her normal clothes (orange shirt, black skirt, knee high boots, and a lab coat because why not) on and walking around the garden.]

Well, first off, I should introduce myself more properly, I guess. My name is Doctor Rebecca Holiday and I thought I should offer my services to the Garden. I am a doctor of theory, but I also practice medicine, so if there's something that the snakes can't or won't help you with, I'll be happy to help you out in any way I can.

Also... while the cat's were accommodating, I think... I should start looking for a more permanent place to stay. Trying to find a way out was, as everyone's told me, useless.

Anyone have any selections of places to live?

A doctor, huh? That's good news, actually...maybe not for you, though, being stuck here. Sorry.

I'm Gal Cecil, nice to meet you. We've got some empty rooms if you need one.

[doc_holi]

Being stuck here may not be the best thing, but I guess I'm going to have to deal with it for now. At least until I see the Queen. [She has ideas.]

It's nice to meet you, Gal, and thanks for the offer. Where is this place?

[hopelessdreamer]

Good luck with that. She's not exactly the most outgoing ruler. [she sounds a little resigned.]

It's a house near the lake--okay, this is going to sound weird, but if you say "Beaumont", the cats will know what you're talking about. It's just me and Jessica right now, and it's a pretty big place, so it could probably use a few more occupants. We handle the cooking, by the way, so don't worry about that.

[doc_holi]

[Well that's good because you do not want to see Holiday in the kitchen. That birthday cake for Rex could have been used as building materials.]

Thank you. You're very generous.

Are you sure it's alright? I don't wish to intrude unless everyone's okay with it.

[hopelessdreamer]

It's no problem. I'll go ask Jessica right now, if it'll make you feel better. Just hang on.

[the mirror disappears for about twenty seconds, then pops right back up. Gal is grinning a little, like someone just told her a joke.]

She said "no loud parties and it's fine".

[hectorcantgofast]

Doctors and healers are always nice to have around.

But I currently live in a tent. It's pretty cozy if I say so myself.

[doc_holi]

[A tent?]

Would you like me to look for an extra place for you? It would be no problem.

[Unless you like the tent...]

[hectorcantgofast]

I don't think I would need an extra place. But thanks for the offer.

[doc_holi]

Alright, then. Just let me know if you change your mind.

But, if you like your tent, more power to you.

[hectorcantgofast]

I've always lived in one so it's definitely not an issue.

[Then again, it looks a lot different from what most would imagine.]

[Kariya doesn't usually like to show her face on the Vine, so she uses the voice function instead.]

Hello, Doctor Holiday. My name is Kariya Matou. It's nice to meet you.

I have--a health problem, but... I'm not sure if anyone can help.

I'm sorry you're trapped here, too. I'm still trying to find a way out, but there are a lot of buildings here for anyone to move into. They seem nice.

[doc_holi]

[Oh. She was hoping someone wouldn't need her, but it was certainly not because she was lazy.]

It's nice to meet you, too. If you don't mind, I would like to try and help any way I can.

Yes, this entire place seems nice on the surface. I'm just wary of the Queen, I suppose.

[tosaveyou]

I don't mind, but it's hard to explain. Do you know anything about magic?

[It seems more common here for people to have magical knowledge than it is at home.]

So am I. She's so powerful, and we don't know anything about her. Nothing definite. That's why I won't stop looking for her, or for a way out.

[doc_holi]

... No. I don't.

[But she's not going to stand there and tell you there's no such thing, either. This place is strange enough, but there's always some sort of scientific reason behind the issue.]

Then, it seems you and I are in the same boat, then.

[tosaveyou]

I suppose that doesn't make a difference. [Or not much of one.]

It's my family's magic. I have--familiars, and they live inside me. I have to keep them, but they hurt.

[Someone had suggested she ask for medical help, but she still wasn't sure if it was worth trying. No one at home would have been able to do anything. But it can't do any harm, can it?]

Yes, I want to talk to her, but I haven't been able to find her anywhere.

What kind of medical procedures are you familiar with?

Video

[doc_holi]

Just about everything, I think. I'm used to treating a wide variety of wounds, illnesses, and deformities in my home. Comes with the job.

[ritsu_kouyou]

With the right equipment, can you safely draw and store a pint of blood?

Video

[doc_holi]

... Yes... Why?

[shanghaiworld]

Well, some people make their own residence, while others may be content to simply rely on the housing already provided.

[Not that she's saying which those are...]

[doc_holi]

People build their own homes here?

[Well, there is someone staying in a tent, so...]

[shanghaiworld]

Most certainly, but not in the way you are likely thinking of.

[doc_holi]

Oh?

[And what way is that?]

[hotshot_momma]

If you wanted to make a place to live, you would need to go to the border between this world and... whatever else is here, and take some of the Earth and shape it.

Or you could ask for extra spaces. The Creche has a few extra beds, if you don't mind military accomidations.

[doc_holi]

Gal and Jessica have offered extra space in their home for now, but I've heard a lot about that... magic dirt stuff. I have plans for that already, like medical equipment and things like that.

[Once she figures that out, maybe she'll just live there...]
