ill introduce you. easier

[ ...but with that said, there's a more private message sent. off the network, just for kurosaki: ]

do you know if theres a therapist around? psych doctor

[zangetsu]

（ see, he's got that toxic masculinity and cultural resistance to the idea of therapy downpat so he can't quite help the way he flinches a little at that question. good thing this is text. ）

not that i've seen.

only person calling themselves a medical professional seems to be that one quack 'daan', but i'm not going to suggest anyone trust that weirdo for anything, and he wouldn't clarify his discipline anyway.

if it's a prescription thing, i think whatever we need is found in the pharmacies.

if it's a therapy thing... sorry, i got nothing.

[ Kind of what he was expecting, but ugh. If there's any type of guy who shouldn't be randomly kidnapped onto a train to a mostly empty city with weird shit happening in it... ]

thanks. think the guy needs more than meds but ill talk to him. see if he was on anything

he showed up looking like shit. dont wanna freak him out more than he already is

[ So, no tunnels for him. ]

but something else up with the daan guy? think i saw his network post. didnt read it yet.

[zangetsu]

probably a good choice.

and eh.

my dad's a trauma surgeon. he retired from that when my sisters were born and runs a GP clinic in an area that doesn't really have a big flashy hospital to look after people. i've helped in the clinic every weekend as long as i can remember.

so i've been around medicine and doctors and that whole thing most of my life.

this guy wouldn't say what kind of doctor he was, and got pissed and defensive when i asked him about his motives, tried to say that 'trust goes two ways'. but no actual doctor worth the paper their license is printed on would care about any of that if they actually wanted to help, and not just have people call them 'doctor'.

watch your back around him.

[ He does go back to read that network post (still can't be bothered with the comments) just to see, and yeah, even before he gets Kurosaki's response... ]

got it. guy shows up ready to play doctor with a accept or beat it attitude. fishy as shit

anyone else like that? other than the people killing each other or whatever

[ How about the people saying they have powers. ]

[zangetsu]

no one that's been loud about it.

i haven't met too many people in person yet.

[strongroots]

ill let you know if i see anything

saw a flier for a meeting. figured id check it out

[zangetsu]

when and where?

[strongroots]

i think we're supposed to be discreet about it. thats what they talked about

you can prob find them around. unless you think being discreet around here doesnt work

[zangetsu]

i think it depends on who's trying to be discreet.

i'll keep an eye out.

can't miss me if you see me in person. i'll be the only tall japanese guy with orange hair for miles.

（ yep. at this point in his life, he's just going to own it. ）

[strongroots]

sure. ill be wearing a green jacket. short brown hair.

but tall orange haired anyone is easier to spot

[ Basically, he'll keep that eye open. It's cool, he knows he sounds like Every Other Dude in a green jacket. ]

[zangetsu]

👍

（ and off they go! ）
