That would be cool. They might need a friendly face around after Beckett decided to be a stubborn ass.

[ Zell still isn't happy with that. ]

Oh.
Has anyone come to you about pain related to MN effects?

[headjacked]

Luna, huh.

[ Wince. His last interaction with her was... not the nicest. It's been long enough for the guilt to kick in quite severely. And then there's Dr. John, blabbing about her robot-hood. ]

She's cute, isn't she. But do me -- her, really -- a big big favor and keep the robo-bit quiet. Alright? Quiet time now, doctor.

[jumpthegun]

Yeah. That and other things.

No one's come to me recently about MN-related pain. Should I be on the lookout for someone?

[swatsflies]

[!!!]
Are they okay?

[ The next message comes after some deliberation. ]

Not that I know of. Just was curious.

[jumpthegun]

Pins? No, no. Not unless it's something really serious. From what you're describing, it's rough, she'll be in pain, but just make sure you keep it in a sling, keep it elevated, ice it, and take pain meds and she should heal on her own in a few weeks.

Kids are resilient, especially young kids.

I'll be heading over to the new tunnels to deliver Mr. Solomons, yeah. If you'll be near the entrance, I'd be happy to look at her personally.

[majorlazer]

Okay. Okay, that's good. I won't be there anymore, I'm leaving the tunnels for a bit, but she'll definitely want to meet Mr Solomons, I think, so you could make the most of it then. I'll let her know you're coming, so she can get used to the idea.

[ecks]

No dead, yes. To be bad. No to know where Joker, I to be careful. To be school. Clinic tomorrow.

[ecks]

Why to you?

[jumpthegun]

Because I gave you that rule.

[ecks]

I to choose to use rule Doctor Watson.

[jumpthegun]

[There's a slight edge to his tone when he replies.]

This wasn't to impress anyone, Beckett. It was to protect people.

[jumpthegun]

You did. I still gave you the idea. And I just mean that I can help explain if people try to yell at you.

[bookofnope]

And that was a joke, John. Though I'd understand if you're a bit wary of those, right now.

[jumpthegun]

Does anyone play well with him? [John just sounds exasperated.] I meant more us just doing it ourselves unless he's been lugging that microscope about. Reckon that'd get heavy. I'd store it somewhere, if I were him. Probably hospital or the clinic.

That's really not a bad idea, actually. I'll see if she'd be willing. We've found out it never hurts to ask.

[And Eve had mentioned that possibility of adjusting Bucky's issues so that he wasn't so violent and murderous.]

FINALLY GET TO USE THIS ICON

[jumpthegun]

Quiet, yeah... 's quiet now. Think I'm nodding off. Night, Rhys. You're okay, right?

[jumpthegun]

Yeah. Just stress from everything. It's one thing after another.

[That response is suspicious.]

Zell, if someone experiencing pain, I'd like to know. I might be able to prescribe something for it.

[jumpthegun]

Get used to it? Is she shy in-person?

[Kesara hasn't struck him as anything short of bold and sociable, really. But it's easy to be those things across a tablet, he supposes.]

[jumpthegun]

Okay. I'll see you then.

[It might be easier to talk in-person?]

[swatsflies]

Things have been nuts here for them.
Well, sounds like it could have been nuts for them at home, too.

[ Whoops. Just going to play it off like it's not a big deal. ]

Nothing to worry about.
I had an increase in pain, but I can handle it.
Concentrate on getting better and getting down here to visit Angel, Rhys, and Dumpy.

[majorlazer]

[Zach scoffs to himself. Shy? No. No, Doc.]

No, she's not. It's more - we got used to just being the two of us. She's not into being around a lot of people.

WHAT A CUTE

[headjacked]

Yep, so no worrying! G'night, Dr. John.

[jumpthegun]

[He's quiet for a moment, and then sighs.]

Sorry. Yeah, I'm a little on edge. I just... Ms. Romanov and Mr. Stark are having to clean this up now. It doesn't sit right.

[bookofnope]

A common enough sentiment in these situations. If it helps, I doubt they'd blame you. From what I was able to gather, Mr. Stark at least is used to playing the hero.

[jumpthegun]

They shouldn't have to, anyway. [There's another flare of mild annoyance in his tone.] I played the damsel enough for Sherlock. I thought I was done with that.

[bookofnope]

John. [Beckett's voice is even in turn. This is an issue he'd seen in others.] You may instead wish to consider that the reason so many people were alarmed - and may I add infuriated - at what happened to you in how essential you are to this community. Such as it is. Plenty of us have played the damsel to you plenty of times, if in a somewhat less... flashy manner.
