Hey. I have a question, if you're willing to answer.

Say I need to see a doctor, or something similar to one. Because I am surly, uncooperative, and paranoid, I would sooner toss myself in the Atlantic than go to the Initiative for "help."

I see, as is logical, that my fellow interdimensional abductees have started their own medical clinic.

So, how trustworthy are *they*? I have a relatively bad history with doctors as it is, and, as mentioned, I am uncooperative and paranoid. I don't want to blindly trust someone who might, for example, "accidentally" publish my brand new medical record, or treat me like a guinea pig for some pet project they were developing in their former world.

The reason I need one isn't anything so urgent where I'll keel over and die in the next few hours, without medical attention. I'm pretty sure, anyway. But, I'd appreciate insight, rather than demands I swallow my pride and go to the first person who claims good intentions and to be able to help.

Thanks in advanced.

[A bad history with doctors

Wow would the ex-human-asylum patient like to know what humans think constitutes a bad history with doctors

Wait, no, Haruka is her friend and she feels lopsided for burdening her with the matriorb anyway. This is the perfect opportunity to make help go in the opposite direction.]

I Think You Forget One Thing
How Much Who You Should See Depends On The Ailment You Suffer
Though This Isnt An Attempt To Trick You Into Revealing Your Medical Issues To Me
Because That Would Be Completely Transparent By Your High Standards

Incredibly transparent (´ー^♡)
It's not a big deal, technically speaking. Just, not something I'd want to talk about in public. Too many questions, and so forth.

What Kind Of Questions
Embarrassing
Provocative
Invasive

Id Doubt Youd Post Were The Questions It Would Pose Any Of Those Things
Hm

Are There Twenty Of Them

Depends on who's asking. Some people could probably get it up to twenty.

What Would Happen If I Were Asking And Attempted To Approach The Issue In A Fashion Similar To The Universal Game

I wouldn't be inclined to answer them over this.

[While her previous responses have been almost instant, this arrives with a delay of about thirty seconds.]

I Know Where You Live

How about I tell you after?

If I Were Purely Possessed Of The Social Intention To Discover What Plagues You Id Privately Message You After
But Thus Far It Doesnt Seem Like Your Paranoia Has Prevented You From Settling Upon Any Means Of Getting From Before To After
So If I Did Come Over
Id Probably Bring
Stuff

"Stuff."

How Exactly Can You Expect Me To Be Specific About Stuff When You Cant Be Specific About Your Reason For My Coming Over With Stuff

Because my lack of specificity results from fault in my body. Yours results from something I'm not certain of.

Im Just Being Inspecific On The Logic That If Youre Being This Secretive About Your Ailment Then Specifying Which Tools Would Or Would Not Remedy It Would Be Too Revealing For You

Are you certain you know what it is?

Oh No Im Nowhere Near Sure I Have Only A Slight Notion And Im Not Entertaining It Excessively
Otherwise I Would Not Have Made Several Attempts At Narrowing Down The Options Comparable To Glass
Maybe I Should Just Get All The Potentially Useful Stuff I Have And Come Down There
And Then If None Of It Is What You Want I Can Go Out And Get That
Or You Can Do So Yourself If Youre Doing Well Enough To Be Able To
Since I Could Just Tell You Where The Pharmacy I Patronize Is
And Im Sure That Would Be Your Natural Preference
But On The Other Prong Those Traits Seem To Have Been Subdued By The Severity Of Your Ailment
So I Really Want To Help If Thats Possible At All And Preferably In The Short Term

It's nothing so simple as setting a bone or stitching a wound, unfortunately for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.

But I appreciate the offer.

Youre Getting Me Worried Now

Don't! I'll be fine (´∀^♡)

See Id Believe That A Lot More Readily If You Werent Apparently In Such Dire Straits That Youre Admitting Personal Problems To A Network You Have Thus Far Taken The Relatively Unusual Step Of Entirely Exclusively Addressing By Text
When You Have Professed Such Distrust Of Said Networks Administrators That You Would In Your Own Words More Willingly Toss Yourself In The Atlantic
Since If You Had Given Into Their Established Institutions Again Id Be Much Calmer Though That Can Be Attributed To My Admittedly Rather Foolishly Idealistic View Of The Organization

It was hyperbole, Kanaya. Where, for example, sarcasm is an untruth meant to reveal a truth, hyperbole is exaggerating in order to emphasize, and isn't meant to be literal. I wouldn't *really* throw myself into the Atlantic.

[ that is some shitty deflecting
and skipping blithely over the whole texting thing
but this is all still just one text message. ]

I've survived through worse health problems, really, don't worry.

No Haruka I Know What Hyperbole Is I Was Not Actually Worried About A Fellow Transport Throwing Herself Into

Actually
Whats The Atlantic

The ocean.

Technically speaking, the North Sea is the closest body of water, I think, but the Atlantic is so much more romantic.

Ok No Then I Did Not Think You Were Making An Intimate Engagement With The Local Sea
Or Anything Or Anyone At All For That Matter That Doesnt Really Seem To Be Your Modus Operandi
You Arent Exactly The Type Who Would Have Signed Up For ConnExsilium

I'm sorry, what do you mean by that last part?

You Were New Back Then
