Well, that makes two of us.

( Adjusting his glasses. They’ve started to tip sideways. )

I’m terribly sorry to ask this of you, but— would you mind walking with me, then? I’m a bit nervous about getting lost.

[ᅠ 𝘌𝘔𝘗𝘓𝘖𝘠𝘌𝘌 𝟣𝟦𝟨𝟨 ᅠᅠ @W10260110756]

I’m uh. I’m afraid I don’t know. They don’t allow me in some parts of the building for security reasons. As they say.

| He shrugs, shaking his head, apologizing. |

I’m Waylon, it’s nice to meet you. There’s a guard down there, maybe he could help.

( 😅. Clutching his overcoat tighter against himself. )

I’d be honored. You don’t suppose there’s somewhere I could put my bags, is there?

[𝘧𝘪𝘨. ⒈ ── 𝑨𝐑𝐋𝐎 𝑳𝐈𝐎𝐑. @AUTOPSYGOD]

Thank you, really. You're so kind. Would you like a tour?

( he pulls the other man a little bit closer .. )

Arthur Whalen.

( Detouring towards the other doctor— his shoulders slump in subdued relief, hefting his bags. )

I should be registered in the system as of today.

[BEHOLD ＊ THE SAINT @PSYCHONETWORKS]

could be. (light–hearted tone—— he’s diverted from his group of scientists & pulls his mask down. seems to be in his rights as he, after all, has a ‘specialist’ armband on his right bicep.)

i’m sorry, what’s your name?
⠀

[‍ ‍ ‍*‍ 𝚝𝚞𝚛tle ‍ d⃣ ݁ ov┈ ͡ᴱ ︎. @harelegged]

Oh, ah—

( Shaking off filmy jetlag— he’s been standing awkwardly in the doorway, briefcase and coat clutched under one arm. )

Information technology. You wouldn’t know where to… go, would you?

[ᅠ 𝘌𝘔𝘗𝘓𝘖𝘠𝘌𝘌 𝟣𝟦𝟨𝟨 ᅠᅠ @W10260110756]

*Another* Doctor…?

Seems like they hire you guys in drones, you won’t see much of me, I work in the IT department — software side of things.

[‍ ‍ ‍*‍ 𝚝𝚞𝚛tle ‍ d⃣ ݁ ov┈ ͡ᴱ ︎. @harelegged]

Dr. Easterman. It’s incredible, what you’ve built here.

( Smiling through that sunken-eyed exhaustion, he grasps the doctor’s hand with both of his. )

Photographs… photographs don’t do it justice.

[𝘧𝘪𝘨. ⒈ ── 𝑨𝐑𝐋𝐎 𝑳𝐈𝐎𝐑. @AUTOPSYGOD]

( he shakes the doctor's hand with his prosthetic, fingers grasping tight enough to indent skin. )

Dr. Easterman. But, please - call me Hendrick.

[‍ ‍ ‍*‍ 𝚝𝚞𝚛tle ‍ d⃣ ݁ ov┈ ͡ᴱ ︎. @harelegged]

It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, sir.

( Pushing his spectacles up on his nose; he holds a hand out to shake. A bit different than described… who is he to judge? )

Dr. Whalen.

[𝘧𝘪𝘨. ⒈ ── 𝑨𝐑𝐋𝐎 𝑳𝐈𝐎𝐑. @AUTOPSYGOD]

Me?

( what's a little white lie. )

Yes. I am. Hello. 🙂

[‍ ‍ ‍*‍ 𝚝𝚞𝚛tle ‍ d⃣ ݁ ov┈ ͡ᴱ ︎. @harelegged]

I’m so sorry about the delay. Are you the, ah— the director, here?

[𝘧𝘪𝘨. ⒈ ── 𝑨𝐑𝐋𝐎 𝑳𝐈𝐎𝐑. @AUTOPSYGOD]

It's a pleasure to finally see you.

[‍ ‍ ‍*‍ 𝚝𝚞𝚛tle ‍ d⃣ ݁ ov┈ ͡ᴱ ︎. @harelegged]

Oh, my. Are these the people I’m meant to preside over?

[‍ ‍ ‍*‍ 𝚝𝚞𝚛tle ‍ d⃣ ݁ ov┈ ͡ᴱ ︎. @harelegged]

I can't stand the feeling, I'm afraid. Ah-- you wouldn't happen to know where my room is, would you?

[𝓥OLODIN . @sinyalaguard]

⠀⠀⠀⠀ ah. can understand that feeling.

[‍ ‍ ‍*‍ 𝚝𝚞𝚛tle ‍ d⃣ ݁ ov┈ ͡ᴱ ︎. @harelegged]

Delayed six hours with a layover in London. I must say, I'm exhausted.

[𝓥OLODIN . @sinyalaguard]

⠀⠀⠀⠀anything particularly eventful happen?

[‍ ‍ ‍*‍ 𝚝𝚞𝚛tle ‍ d⃣ ݁ ov┈ ͡ᴱ ︎. @harelegged]

That was the worst train ride I have ever partaken in.
