6. I need to get my story straight

[pompous_today]

[Backdated slightly to this morning. Simon writes slowly, carefully choosing his words.]

The more time I spend in this place, the more curious about it I become. Fairies, nightmares, turning into talking ponies and into normal animals... and that is only scratching the surface.

I realize the pursuit of knowledge could be [A long pause] potentially difficult, however. I suppose what I am asking is, would I harm anyone by trying, or would I be best served minding my own business?

I know it has been some weeks, but I apologize if you found my conduct at the ball to be... too forward. I do not know what came over me in that room.

As long as you don't blow the place up, I don't give a damn.

[pompous_today]

I have no plans to do so, thankfully.

[likebreathing]

Today? Or ever?

['Cause he'd like to not blow up ever, either.]

[pompous_today]

Ever. I would never wish to inflict harm on another.

[likebreathing]

A nice thought. Not even if some guy were trying to beat you up?

[pompous_today]

Well, that would be different, I suppose. I am a doctor, though; healing is where my strength lies.

[likebreathing]

It's a strength more people should have. [He's surrounded by people who constantly destroy, so he has a respect for doctors.] You had to do any doctoring stuff here yet?

[pompous_today]

I agree, but I know not everyone is suited for it... much like I'm not a fighter.

Not much, but then again, I have only been here for a few months. Usually whenever some calamitous injury happens, the other medics get to it before I can. I have never before encountered people with healing gifts.

[There's a noncommittal grunt picked up by the journal.]

They come in handy. Only a few months though? What do you think of this place?

[Rictor's still wary of it, but he's only been here a few days.]
