1/005: Medical Mysteries.

:ACTION:


[Wheatley would be stalking around the clinic. But not in the creepy sense. No. He was peering inside, looking rather nervous. There he goes, wandering trying to find anyone working in the clinic who was NOT INO. When he spotted someone, he'd give a wide, inviting smile and spoke in the friendliest tone he could.]

"H-hey...! I was wondering, what it would take to join this clinic? Help out a bit with the injured and all. I think... I think it'd be a good way to spend my time."

[Hey, Wheatley. There's a little girl curiously watching you be a creeper from one of the hospital beds. Wat do?]

[wheatdos]

[He looks over, looks away, and then looks back quickly surprised that he was being stared at. He suddenly rubbed the back of his head, adjusted his tie, and laughed nervously]

"Oh! Oh... hello, I uh, I didn't see you there..."

[fly_little_bird]

[She smiles sweetly]

That's okay. People don't usually notice me. [She says as if that's a good thing..]

What're you doing?

[wheatdos]

[He puts his hands in his labcoat and sort've slinks over to the stranger. He laughs nervously.]

"R-really? That's- well the exact opposite for me, really. Except, well I get noticed, and-and it's usually not for something good, unfortunately."

[He clears his throat]

"Oh! Oh... I'm- i'm trying to see... if I could maybe... join this clinic, love. It'd be a great experience I'd think, and someone... of my vast intellect would be perfect for the job, if not better-"

[He trails off when he thinks he's talking too much]

"What....what are you doing here?"

[fly_little_bird]

You want to help out? The only doctor I've met so far is Dr. Beckett. Maybe you could talk to him. He's very nice, though I can't always understand him when he talks. [Scottish accent what]

Me? Oh. [She looks down slightly] I was hurt when I got here. To the castle, I mean.

((ooc: Dunno if you've read the books or not but if you haven't and want to avoid spoilers don't ask for TOO many details about how she got injured. <3))

[wheatdos]

((ooc: No I haven't read the books, but I don't really mind spoilers, haha! I think it's better to be honest i didnt read the book cause that makes me just as clueless as my muse! :D Sorry for the late response, alot was happening, but I'm back. :').))

[Wheatley nods, and sort of slinks to the side of her bed, pulling up a chair from wherever and dragging it over to sit. He seems friendly, as he always does with people he's just met.]

"W-well... I'm always around, always. I wish I could find him now though. It'd be an improvement... y-you know. Doing science up in my room while I can be over here helping out, seems like a waste of my time."

[He's got the labcoat and everythinnnngggg. All he needs is a stethoscope and you wouldn't tell the difference.]

"So you were hurt before? Oh- well... that is actually not good."

[He begins to stroke his chin in thought]

"...Hmmm. Ha-have you even...even...ev- ever been out of this clinic? It's not much to look at to be honest outside but- it wouldn't hurt to take a look."

[fly_little_bird]

[She shakes her head] No. I was hurt pretty bad so I didn't really see much when I got here.

[She looks down at her hands. Geez she'll be glad when she's out of the clinic and doesn't have to keep having this conversation.] I was dying. They found me in the snow and saved my life, brought me here.

[wheatdos]

"Huh."

[He pauses for a moment, looks at her and rubs the back of his head nervously.]

"C-Can you walk, love?"

[fly_little_bird]

[She thinks for a moment before nodding]

I can. But it starts to hurt after a little while.

[She puts a hand over her side]

[wheatdos]

"...Hm. Right. I see, I see."

[He nods for a moment, and stands. There is a long pause.]

" Do you want to see it? Like I say not much, but it's probably more interesting than this place. I'll show you, c'mon here, up you go."

[He suddenly scoops her up gently.]

"Try not to move too much though, It'd be better."

[fly_little_bird]

[She eeps in surprise, not having expected him to pick her up like that. She feels her cheeks flush in embarrassment. People here keep doing things for her, she's not used to this!]

Oh! Um. You don't have to... I mean... if you're... [Gah, what does she even do? She really wants to see the castle but... being carried around when he said that he was looking for someone... She looks down for a moment before quietly adding] T-thank you.

[wheatdos]

[He needed more people to trust him, sides, there didn't seem to be anyone here. What's better than her? Maybe they'd let him into the clinic if he could prove he wasn't the baddie everyone said he was. He'd just come later.]

"Not a problem love. I'll come back later when-when there's... um, someone actually here. B-but it's hard to believe that someone'd leave you all alone here really. I guess- well, maybe I understand. Oh! You-you know, once upon a time... before I got this human body, I couldn't move on my own either! Ehh, see? It- it was a little inconvenient. Couldn't go where I wanted. Had to move on a rail. So maybe I understand, I think I do at least."

[He exited the clinic and looked around, unsure where to take the girl first. Maybe she wanted to go outside? Or maybe she was hungry. Patience, he had to remember to be patient. He grinned.]

"Though, gotta admit I'm a bit surprised you didn't freak out or anything. Usually when I walk in people ... do that. You, know...you know I think it has something to do with the lab coat. Maybe it's the tie too. Are- are you hungry? Maybe something that isn't clinic food'll be fine. You humans alllllllllways compare clinic food to being some... sort of disgusting pile of dirt on a plate. Hehe."

[fly_little_bird]

[Wow he talks a lot. She just kind of stares at him for a moment before something he said hits her and she stiffens slightly. N-not human? But... the only things she'd ever heard of that weren't human were the Mutts and... there wasn't such a thing as a Mutt who looked and acted human was there? Of course, Finnick said he'd been attacked by them... what the heck is going on here? She opens and closes her mouth a few times before words finally make it out]

Um... You're not human?

[wheatdos]

"Nooooo. No love. Never. I-I'm a... an AI. A computer. You know, I don't really like the term of robot, but I guess that works- that works too. Th'names Wheatley. Um... W-Wheatley at your service."

[He begins to make his way down one of the halls. He'll wing it.]

"Don't tell me you don't have... things like us in your world. I feel like I've explained it a million and one times already, love."

[fly_little_bird]

[She shakes her head] No. The Capitol has computers but my District doesn't have anything like that.

[She pauses, thinking] You look human.

[wheatdos]

[He pauses for a moment, as if he's thinking about what he should reply.]

"Well. Yes, I-I guess I do."

[He sounds a little disappointed. As if he were ashamed. A few seconds later however, his voice pipes right back up. He turns the corner, and enters another hall.]

"Y-You had to have seen things that don't look the way they are. Think of me as- like one of those! Eh? Good enough example. I look human, but-but I can assure that I'm not. I'm a genius love, I know a vast amount on just-just about every subject. No joke, nojoke, hehe."

[fly_little_bird]

[Her face falls when she hears his tone change. Oh she didn't want to make him sad! And, well, just because the things that aren't what they look like are usually BAD in Panem doesn't mean that everything's like that, right...? She smiles.]

That's okay. There are a lot of things here I don't know about, that doesn't mean they're not just as good as the things I do know. It just means I have a lot to learn while I'm here, right?
