[Journal Post] [ALSO AN EVENT POST]

[knowinginthedark]

So uh.

Hm.

I think I might need to look into options to help support my body, I've come to vividly realize.

[Event Post]

*Sometime after Trena let things slip, Tarou finds himself in front of OOPARTS in the early evening. He made sure to stretch before this so he doesn't freak anyone out, but now.

He's wondering if he should've made an appointment first...?*

Huh?

People have to... take care of bodies? OH!

Like diet and exercise, you mean?

I can help with that Mister Tarou!

[knowinginthedark]

Oh, that's very thoughtful of you.

You know anything on how to handle a spine that's been kept together with spit and a prayer, quite literally, by any chance?

[hardcorebestcore]

Have tried yoga?

Otherwise, I would maybe, um... suggest an actual doctor?

[Event Post]

[autumnswarm]

You probably should have. But you're in luck, as a figure emerges from the doors of OOPARTS, carrying a satchel and peering out into the evening, before their gaze falls on you.

"I would say we're closed, but I don't think anyone sleeps inside this building."

And then they focus a little more on you, making a tuneless humming noise. You two probably feel FAIRLY similar, honestly.

"Ah, are we about to be under attack?"

*oh god. I feel a kindred spirit. is-- is this what I should've felt about Mamoru if he wasn't possessed? Huh.*

... why would me being here mean you're about to be under attack? I'm here to find someone.

Re: [Event Post]

[autumnswarm]

It's very likely.

"Oh, forgive me. Most people who give off the same 'vibe' as I do would probably be attempting to siege our building.

Sullivan Adams. You would be?"

::You find a woman in a gold dress and a very VERY light jacket walking past you, coming back in with food bought from a convivence store.::

Re: [Event Post]

[knowinginthedark]

*people wear gold? color me surprised.*

Oh-- excuse me, miss?

Re: [Event Post]

[isdragonlady]

::And a green jacket. Money green. She looks over her shoulder.::

... Yes?

[ You're in luck, Tarou - he's not exactly the man you're looking for, but he's probably the next best thing, sitting outside in the reception area with a laptop and some coffee that you can just feel has more caffeine than is decidedly wise. ]

[ He does look up when he sees you. ]

Ah! Mr. Tarou. It's been a minute, hasn't it? To what do I owe the pleasure?

Re: [Event]

[knowinginthedark]

Oh-- oh! Haita, yes, yes, I remember you. From the hospital and all that. Fun times.

*he's made his way inside*

I'm looking for a magical doctor that got accidentally recommended to me, actually.

Re: [Event]

[becomeanwarrior]

...A magical doctor? May I ask what for, exactly?

I do have a sorcerer in-house, but they have... well, their own eccentricities.

[ He laughs. ] Takes one to know one, right?

Support, like stockings, or.

Re: [Journal]

[knowinginthedark]

Physical body support! For my bones. My bones are bad.

Re: [Journal]

[wherethemiceare]

Maybe become a robot?

[blackrthanblack]

I take it the nightmares have been taking their toll?

Re: [Journal]

[knowinginthedark]

Well those are always taking a toll on me, but this is definitely a physical effect.

Mental can wait.

Re: [Journal]

[blackrthanblack]

Sometimes the mind causes body shaped problems.

But I take this isn't one of those cases.

[theheadmonarch]

Have you considered Hybridization?

Re: [Journal]

[knowinginthedark]

Hybridization? Is there a brochure I can read over?

Re: [Journal]

[theheadmonarch]

Go to the Hybrid Research Institute at [XXX], they should have the materials available to read.

[daschillyone]

Hi! Sorry, I think we're strangers, but I found the post here. Have you looked into maybe getting a back brace? It seems like maybe you got yourself injured and didn't let it fully heal. Depending on how severe that injury is, it may be better to rebreak the injured body part and set it properly for a proper recovery. I know Logan Pharmaceuticals came out with a new bone-regrowing formula recently. Maybe that would help?

[knowinginthedark]

I understand the point, but asking a man to rebreak his spine in hopes that it might heal again might be a little much!

... Bone-regrowing?

[thestudyof]

I hate that I'm actually asking.

But are you going to survive?

Re: [Journal]

[knowinginthedark]

Oh, I'm flattered that you actually are asking!

As for that: well, that's a loaded question. But I'll say my prospects are looking up, ultimately.

I might, at the very least, persist.
