So I'm not great with names but I'll try to remember, okay?

Figured it’s better to avoid caffine, especially when you’re in a new workplace.

Crippling anxiety doesn’t make a great first impression. Call me Erin.

Oh no, I meant the making it tea instead. See, I’ve already got coffee on the brain, and you’ve just messed up all of my plans, Erin.

erin-heaton:

I’m sure I can make that work, Dr Spaceman. But make it a tea. I don’t do caffeine.

Now that just seems like a lot of work, Dr. Heaton.

Also give me like, 3 months or so to get to know you all.

Three months seems a bit long. Let’s make it two, and a cup of coffee.

[Leonard wanders out of his office, stacks of paperwork and cups of coffee having kept him from seeing real, actual sunlight not brimming through his window in nearly four days. He stops, lingering just outside the door, watching the goings-on in the corridor. Burning eyes watch quietly.]

Alright, this popping into my office to complain about your roommates' cleanliness issues has got to stop.

Not really a rebel, no. If you ask me, then I’d say I’m more of a pressure cooker. It sounds horrible to use an appliance to describe myself but I’ve been lacking options lately. Volcano sounds too predictable and not at all accurate.

That is very thoughtful of you, Dr. Spaceman. Darling. Dolores Darling.

Always thought volcano was a bit cliche for my liking. Same with ticking time bomb. Knew a girl once upon a time who called herself a hurricane. I always liked that. All the imagery of her growing into something strong and misunderstood, but meeting up with land and bringing waves of destruction. Loved the ocean, she did.

Ms. Darling, I do believe your file says you’re new.

No, right.

Because giving out lollipops isn’t childish.

We’re gonna have a great time, aren’t we?

dolores—-darling:

Oi, did I touch a soft spot in there somewhere?

My apologies, Mr. I’m afraid I wasn’t given the proper tour and introductory monologue. Well, I decided to skip it, really. Couldn’t be too different from the other places.

Got a bit of a rebel on our hands, do we?

Well, I’ll skip the monologue itself too. Dr. Spaceman, here for all of your mental health needs. Mostly. Got a last name for me, love?

Probably. Very likely, but better to find it in a pillow than to not find it at all, yes?

Not at all. I suspect she’ll request a transfer by the end of the month anyways.

Better to find it in a pillow than in a patient.

Well she can gladly take that up with reception.

Faulkner. Colm Faulkner.

Right then Mr. Faulkner, I’m Dr. Leonard Spaceman. Spah-chem-in. I know, you might feel inclined to pronounce it like it’s spelled. But, if you don’t, I might be inclined to give you a lollipop. Just a thought.

Thank you for the information. Sounds pretty much like your regular psychiatrist. Can’t be too difficult to find. Although, I’m sensing a bit of avoidance to responsibility on your behalf. Makes me question the place I’ve been transferred to.

Oi there, just because Chap enjoys hearing all of your worries and problems doesn’t imply anything on my part. I am, in case you haven’t been informed, a bit busy what with the patient therapy, running the infirmary, and being head of the institution itself, love.

What if the throw pillow caused the bodily injury? Like maybe someone hid a knife in it, or the uncleanliness caused an infection? Either way, I’m not sure why they think that complaining will help.

If someone hid a knife in the throw pillows, then we’ve got a bit more problems than just patient disagreement, now don’t we?

Should I be concerned about your intent with your new roommate, Ms. Wulmett?

colm-faulkner:

So… We’re to settle things like adults but be treated like children?

You’re to be treated like someone who’s been entered into a care facility where there are rules to be kept. For your betterment. Squabbles of patients at one another and chalk lines down the middle of rooms doesn’t exactly aid in the healing process, Mr…?

Well, the warm beam of light has to shine on all of us from time to time. It was much too overdue in my case but I can’t really complain. Chapman, Chapman. Nope, doesn’t ring a bell yet. But I’ll make sure to contact him if the skeletons in my closet are a bother to any future roommates.

You be sure to contact him. With anything. Everything. In fact, you get yourself a papercut, and run straight to him. You’ll know who he is. Dark hair, overbearing sense of self-importance. Bit old.

Skeleton purging via Chapman, any time you need it.

aileen-w:

I think it’s more that she has a problem with mine. Or my previous ones. My side isn’t even dirty.

If your side isn’t dirty, then why does she have a problem with it?

No, no, nevermind. I don’t want to know. Which is basically the point of this announcement. Mental health and other various bodily injuries only. I will not be tricked into talking about throw pillows, Ms. Wulmett.

dolores—-darling:

Is this seriously the most recurring issue in here? One would think you’d have more serious problems pouring through your door. Makes me feel glad I have a room for myself, though.

Lucky bird, you are. S’alright though, tend to just pop off all the tiny problems over to good ‘old Chapman. He just loves a good complaint, he does.

scoutingout:

What sort of books?

Sometimes, I think I could only live with books for company.

Well, all sorts of books, lass. Every book I can get my hands on, if we’re honest.

I’ll tell you something, books beat people in my book any day. In my book? Get it? Ah, I’m too clever for my own good.

Does anyone have a book they wouldn’t mind lending me?

A book? Got load of those in the office. Pretty decent sized library too, if you ever make your way to that side of the asylum. Love a good book, I do.

I need an assistant.

Not nearly as bad as it could be, mate. Y’love him though, eh?
