「 REMEMBER YOUR APPOINTMENT」

[drawback]

[ It looks like you have an appointment and you have been brought in from the waiting room. There is a chair for your to lounge on--

Wait, are you seeing a shrink? Can't be! You're generally sane... Right?

Right...? ]

The doctor will be right with you. For now, I'll just conduct a general evaluation. Mind if I ask you questions?

Comments

[endearments]

[ He's not sure why he's been brought here, other than the fact that Miyoung dragged him here. He doesn't think that he needs to see a shrink of all people. He's perfectly fine! Healthy and normal.

At least this is what he believes... because it is true in comparison to most of the cast. :U But he must be compliant.

He looks up at Cameron as he sits on the chair. ]

Um, I don't mind...

[drawback]

Before we start, do you have any questions for me specifically? Anything at all. [ He emphasizes ANYTHING.

Have to start with keeping the patient, right? Though smiling is a big part of being friendly, he can't really force it out. It might be better not to. Gentle words still work after all. ]

My name's Cameron, by the way.

[endearments]

Not... really.

[ He's not sure on what to ask. Hyunjung looks a little conflicted. ]

I'm-- [ Oh, right. He already knows his name. Derp. He looks down in slight embarrassment because he's pretty sure Cameron caught onto that. HOW EMBARRASSIIIINGGG HE WANTS TO HIDE IN A HOLE OR SOMETHING ]

[drawback]

Hyunjung Kang. [ Let him finish your sentences for you. Yes, seal. Of course he knows who you are, he has your documents and he's pretending to review them right here. In reality, he's doodling on his notebook. ]

No need to feel embarrassed. It's kind of like a reflex to introduce yourself when someone else does, right? [ Shhhhhh seal shhhh. ]

[endearments]

Y-Yeah...! That's right. That's... how it is. [ He gives off a nervous laughter. Smooth, Cameron. Very smooth. ]

Oh, um... [ He suddenly thought of a question that came to mind. ]

Are you an intern? [ Because you look young there. Younger than him?! ]

[drawback]

Yeah. I just started this semester, actually. I go to the university nearby.

You're a student, too. Right? [ He might be mistaken... Asians always look young, but HE HAS YOUR INFO HERE. HE KNOWS HOW OLD YOU ARE. He can't go wrong asking. Okay, everything has been settled, but he'll let Hyunjung get a little more comfortable before starting. ]

[endearments]

Oh. [ Such a successful student you are, Cameron. Hyunjung would never dream of being an intern, much less anyone that would accept him being there anyway because of his low... credentials. ]

Yeah, I'm a sophomore in college. [ Though, he does feel like he can relax a bit better because Cameron doesn't give off the intimidating aura that doctors usually give. Or at least that's what he remembers whenever he went to a doctor's office. ]

[outgambit]

[ He's here because Calixte thought it would have been funny to send him here. ]

I don't mind at all! Ask away.

[ Rather chipper as always. ]

[drawback]

Why did you decide to make an appointment? [ He has heard of you, Baek, and he doesn't really see much reason why you should be here.

Your coping mechanism is too strong. This is a pretty blunt question, but he's quite curious. ]

[outgambit]

Fitting in is a part of adapting and survival, I heard.

[ He's a little different here!! ]

So I thought that maybe I should check up on my condition regarding that.

[ Whether he's... normal... for a given value of normal here. ]

[drawback]

[ A little. He blinks several times. Let him review Seungmin's documents again. ]

I see. Well, my name is Cameron. If there's anything I can do, like maybe bring you a pillow or close the blinds a bit, go ahead and tell me. [ Small talk is good small talk is good. He's reading things over...

So they're from the "other side" or whatever. He never set foot there before, but they seem like nice people. He wonders what it's like--wow, okay, no more mind wandering. ]

Were you recommended here? I don't think you've ever came here before.

[outgambit]

Yes, actually. I was recommended here by a rather obscure doctor that talks in circles and likes to think he can get drunk every Tuesday.

[ Said casually--because this is the norm for him. And he thinks Cameron can take the information without freaking out on him. ]

[drawback]

Sounds like someone I know. [ A dry laugh as his eyes wander off to the side in a squint. ] The texts I received at 4AM cannot be undone and the couple seconds of sleep I lost can never be redeemed.

[ Slightly serious, but not. ]

I've heard of him if only a bit. [ Because he sees your records that were transferred overrrr and he has personally heard of him. ] Anything you want to tell me? Or get off your chest first.

[unsecure]

[ Damien is sitting on this chair and looking from side to side... apaprently nervous, and even more so when Cameron is there. But when he finally tilts his head to look at him, he speaks up. ]

But before that, I think I was brought here against my will because Caretaker didn't even say anything about it and this weird woman with pink hair thought it was a good idea.

[ Pause. ]

And I don't think it's a good idea.

[drawback]

[ Looks around...

There is this voice talking to him, but he can't see where it's coming from--Finally he looks down, oh. ]

I apologize. You are Damien Aurelius...? The documents list you as over the legal age. [ He doesn't want to say anything offensive despite all of it coming to mind. ]

I guess this is probably a mistake.

[unsecure]

[ Damien looks confused and stares at Cameron. ]

Maybe it was a typo...? I'm fourteen years old! Maybe that's legal where you are, but not where I'm from.

[drawback]

It's not legal where I come from either. [ He can't help and chuckle a bit, but he's going to review Damien's files and stuff. ]

There are signatures and everything, but if all of these are fake information, then we can't continue. [ Even though technically Damien is... Legal... Kind of

not really.

Kind of. ] Do you want me to call your guardian?

[unsecure]

--Yeah! [ Damien seems excited all of a sudden. Probably because if he calls Ruuri, then he can get out of this place without seeing a doctor! Because we all know doctors are kids' worst nightmares.

Except the number that's listed isn't Ruuri's. ]

[drawback]

Give me a moment to make the call. [ And he's going to use the clinic's phone to call.

He waits patiently.

Busy tone. Hm... How troublesome. Cameron scratches his cheek before turning to Damien again. ]

Can you verify this number?

[repressor]

I mind!

[ here is a distraught 24-year-old guy that was brought in by his brothers "for the sake of his well-being". ]

I didn't give my consent and they just made me sign that damn form, so it doesn't count as consent, right?! I don't even see why I need to be here and why are you talking like you're my shrink--

[ he sure talks a lot huh....... ]

[drawback]

Rene... [ He thought you were at home doing the fucking dishes-- ]

Are you sure you weren't drunk? [ He's already going to sign Rene as "duped", "scammed", and "unwilling". ]

[repressor]

Why would I have been drunk to sign a form?

[ He stares right at Cameron like WHAT KIND OF A QUESTION IS THAT except Regis would totally do it and Silvine would think Rene totally did it on his own because he Needs Help. Except Rene really does need help because while his issues are small, they're still pretty big issues to him.

And now he's looking at Cameron all "what do you take me for"

except rene is dumb ]

[drawback]

[ He doesn't know the answer? He isn't you? He isn't even going to dignify that with another question either??

MORE QUESTION MARKS?

He does however give Rene a Look. A Look once in a while in between writing some notes down. ]

[repressor]

[ he frowns when he thinks he's being ignored and he immediately gets up out of his chair to try and snatch the clipboard away like WHAT ARE YOU WRITING or YOU BETTER NOT BE WRITING WEIRD STUFF ABOUT ME ]

[drawback]

[ There's a bunch of doodles of cats an one of them is named Rene.

How do you feel now? ]
