[It's an exciting day for the wandering doctor. Today, the outpost has given her a tent and an adjacent half-collapsed shack to live in and work from. Two months of hopping in and out of the cities, seeking inns and hotels and motels everywhere she went. Two months since she was thrown head first into the Seven-Fold City. She settles down at her new "desk", a recently bleach-scrubbed plastic table, and props her CALL device up on some books.

The screen flickers to life, and the face of a plain-clothes Angela Ziegler is made public. She clears her throat and begins, in a distinct German accent:]

Hello! Some of you may recognize me already but for those of you who don't, this will be half introductory and half informative. I am fairly new to this world - I've only been here for...two months? Maybe a little less. I have extensive training as a field medic and surgeon, so I have been traveling from city to city and offering my aid. You may call me Doctor Ziegler...or Mercy.

[She hesitates before saying her old call sign. Does it make her Overwatch again to use that name? No, she decides. It's who she is and it's a name she'll remember to respond to automatically. She squares her shoulders and looks straight into the camera.]

This is an announcement to let any of my previous patients, or future patients I suppose, know that I am now officially set up in the Outpost. I am reachable at any time through this device, this network, or by in-person visits to my station. Should I be absent on a call in a different city, contact me digitally. If you are not able to do so, please ask someone near my station to contact me for you.

[A bit redundant perhaps. Her shoulders relax and her smile softens. She says one last thing before she reaches out to turn the camera off. A gentle, motherly voice. A blessing.]

Stay safe, stay healthy. I am with you.

Anyone got experience dealing with nightmares that can't be explained?

[ It's not often that Thomas goes for the video option, mostly because Thomas generally prefers not to be remembered as anything special and anyone looking at him will definitely see something special. Even dressed as he is in a hard hat, a t-shirt and jeans, dirty and a little sweaty, he more resembles a workman in a porn movie than an actual worker. But it's clear enough that he's actually working with the other folks renovating the space. ]

Hey, everybody. So... as you can see, I'm doing this thing. Soon enough, there'll be a Coiffure Cup right here in the City of Tomorrow and let me tell you right now, this officially makes it unacceptable for any of you to have a bad haircut. Seriously.

Anyway, [ he waves off all the nonsense from a moment ago and rubs at his nose where some of the dust is tickling ] as you can see, we're chugging along here which means, that party thing is definitely on. In fact, as long as everything goes according to plan here, we should be good for grand opening in a couple of weeks.

So consider yourselves all invited to said grand opening party, which is going to be in the hotel a block over from this place. Coordinates are included attached to this message, of course. Free food, free booze, free coffee, and coupons for free services at the salon.

We're a few days out from painting if you've got some time to work out what we might want to put on the walls.

So apparently, getting a business license and finding a place to open said business is pretty damn easy around here. I asked the lady at the front desk and she said that the 'Handwave Effect' makes stuff like this go supersmooth for 'Named Characters' like myself.

So you wanna feel like a VIP, apparently, do your business here.

So two big things: 1. does anyone on here want a job, say handling some of the coffe-making on the cafe side? or doing cleanup? Or heck, any other hairdressers, you're welcome to a chair if you want it. and 2. totally separate, but opening party y/y? Might be a nice opportunity for some of us to meet in person, have a few drinks, make friends, all that good stuff.

I promise, I know my booze.

Has anyone seen a clockwork owl flying around? She answers to Aithne.
...Or should answer anyway.
If you have, please let me know.
And, you know. Maybe try to stop her from escaping again?
Thanks.

[A short moment passes before a second text arrives.]

Or if you want to contribute to science, stand near to her and take note of whatever may happen to your device. Any bit can be important.
Thanks again.

[ooc: Dave has brought a friend from the island trip! And he's working on connecting her to the devices. Feel free to make your character find her and, if they try the device experiment, they'll find on their screen whatever Aithne is seeing and/or hearing (like a picture/video of the characters themselves!).]

[Frankly, Dio's not in the mood. Not that he's exactly a paragon of patience most days, but right here and now he doesn't have much patience to offer anyone or anything. Someone else might try to look at this on the bright side, of course. He's clearly not dead here, and there's nothing that absolutely rules out the possibility of him returning to right where he left off. Maybe some other time, when he's had time to put a little more distance between himself and where he left off, he'll think of that. But for right now? Right now, the bitter taste of defeat still lingers on the back of his tongue. Compounding his sour mood even further on that little fact is that he can't do anything about it right now.]

[But Dio is a skilled liar, if nothing else, and he does still possess a modicum of control over his temper that he doesn't throw a tantrum. To do so now would be far, far too costly now that he's found himself thrust into an unfamiliar situation. And he refuses to be caught off-guard right here and now, which means figuring out this...device. There really isn't anything exactly comparable in his world, but Dio's not an idiot. He can figure it out with little trial and error.]

Interesting. [He looks and sounds more pleased than he actually feels when the video feed begins, but it's unlikely anyone would be able to really question how genuine it is.] The technology here is impressive. In my day, there weren't many who would believe something like this is possible. I can only guess as to how clever the minds who dreamed this device in reality truly were and I'm sure this will prove useful moving forward.

[His smile increases only by a fraction, but it carries with it an enormous amount of warmth. Dio is here to play nice.]

For all of us.

[For now.]
