THE HOSPITAL MEME

Hospitals are important and provide life saving services. But face it, no one likes them. And people like being stuck in them even less.

Except now you are.

Try to make the best of it. How bad can things be when there's a seemingly never-ending amount of jello? Maybe you'll meet a cute doctor (or candy striper). Maybe both. Supply closets come in handy for more than just supplies.

How it works:

1. Leave a comment with your character's name, fandom, and preferences (if any).
2. Go to RNG and input 1-7. Or you can choose your own.
3. Reply to others.
4. Enjoy!

Scenarios:

1. You're sick/injured/had your tonsils out-- Whatever it is, you're stuck in the hospital! Lucky you. Hope you look good in a hospital gown. Make sure to bring a bathrobe. Those things tend to be a little skimpy in the back.

2. Someone you care about is sick/injured/just had their tonsils out-- It's your job to go cheer them up and help them get better. Pop by with some balloons or a stuffed animal from the gift shop. Maybe just offer a hand to hold and moral support (just try not to laugh if they're doped up on painkillers.)

3. In Case of Emergency-- You've just gotten the call so many people dread. Your loved one is in the E.R. Or maybe it was a wrong number, but you're the only person they could reach.

4. Emergency Shelter-- There's crazy weather and everyone is moving to safer ground. It's not ideal, but you're in a lockdown. Time to find some entertainment.

5. Work-- Buildings don't care for people. People care for people. Are you a doctor? A nurse? Candy striper? Maybe a janitor? Every job is important.

6. Stuck together-- Sometimes hospitals get overcrowded and you don't get a private room. Hopefully you like your roommate. You're stuck with them for the foreseeable future.

7. Wildcard-- Did I leave something off the list? Maybe you want to try a combination of something from the list. Here's your chance.

[[ Don't mind being in hospital or visiting. Whichever. Wah. ]]

[oh, you know. canon. :| ]

[Available in Victorian or modern AU/BBC-based flavour.]

[ My first day on the shift, and already it's not going well. Sure, I was practically done my education, I got pretty lucky with that accelerated program. But despite all of the things I learned, dealing with several patients at once was not one of them. Biology and chemistry was only going to get you so far in theory. Well, I guess that's why internships exist.

At least the doctor I was helping was chill. Weird, she looked way younger than me, but she was actually my superior. Huh, the worlds a pretty weird place sometime. Anyway, she was handling this all so well, even though it seemed like files were all over the place, and too many people needed attention at once. I followed behind her, holding a file folder with the latest patient's information. ]

Gohda, Toshiro...seems like he got a nasty stomach virus. Kinda ironic since he's a chef, don't you think? [ I tried to crack a bit of a joke. To be honest, as comforting as it was that she didn't let a whole lot get to her, her facial expression rarely changed.

And that kinda scared me. ]

(He's a nurse in canon.)

[Noted, Dlanor's expression hadn't changed at all from when she was at her desk and began walking, clipboard in hand. She had thought not much of anything from the newbie, or so it had seemed. She honestly did look out for him as much as she could, all the while helping out patients in need.

The joke, though? Not a laugh.]

He is good at what he DOES. Having a virus like that must be something dishonorable to HIM. [Like a doll, and gave an answer like one too. Although, she might have not noticed that it was something humorous to ease up things.]

Rory looked her over. "At a guess, two cracked ribs, a nasty stab wound in your thigh, right move leaving the dagger in there, assorted bruises, and I don't want to see the state of the other guys? And you're only still standing because you're tougher than nails and therefore would refuse morphiene or strong pain killers?" Rory seemed largely unphased, glancing over his shoulder. "I'll handle this one. What's your blood type?"

[ Whoops. Looked like that went straight over her head. But she didn't seem annoyed or anything by the attempt (which was kind of lame, I'll admit), so that was a victory, right? Right?

Anyway, I tried to continue the conversation, since it seemed like making light of things wasn't her cup of tea. ] At least it doesn't look like something too serious. I think he might have over-reacted coming to the hospital for it. [ Well, it wasn't an intern's place to make these kind of judgements. Just to help. I kept up behind her, as she was making her way to the next patient. ]

You ever been to a gourmet restaurant, Doctor Knox?

[Reading on the patient and checking to make sure they were headed to the correct room number, she flips the pages on the board, not turning an eye on the new intern.]

I have NOT. I do not have TIME. [Any free time she gets, she devotes to the hospital she works in.]

[ ...Wow, was she really...that busy? ]

I can recommend you some good ones. You aren't always working, right? [ Though I couldn't help but let a little doubt slip in at the end there. How serious and dedicated she was easily showed just in the way she was walking around the hospital. We finally made it to the next patient's room. Hachijou, Ikuko...I remember that name. She's a famous author, not to mention I checked up on her this morning before joining Doctor Knox. Seemed like she was suffering from some sort of fatigue. She was really pretty, hihi! But man, I couldn't even keep up in a conversation with her to save my life. I kept myself quiet while we checked her room. She was sleeping, which was great, otherwise I think we would have been sucked into another literature discussion.

Sure, I read a lot, but there was only so much I could say about books. ]

[Preference for him to be a patient where it applies!]
