It feels weird posting here after everything that has happened. The first day after I arrived, someone told me things weren't usually this hectic. And I doubt R.E.M envisioned zombies, grenades and mutinies when he wrote Man on the Moon.

But now I think I can suspend my disbelief and accept that I have been here before and can't remember a sodding thing about it. So, this is a re-introduction. My name is John Watson and I'm a doctor. I would like to help if I can and apologize to anyone I might have accidentally ignored.

Cheers.

Now, you can't remember anything? Like anything anything about the time of your past hereness?

Zombies? You'll soon find all that to be elementary, my dear Watson.

I apologize for having sprung that on you before.

And while I understand that you are not entirely the same person, if you would care to get a drink together. I'd be more than happy to.

video.

How does the tale go of the "Man on the Moon?"

You will have to pardon my lack of typing. [ a funny word to her still. ] I am not quite accustomed to it yet.

Oh, same boat as me then? I've gotten lucky, only run into a few people who have the upper hand.

[acclimatized]

Thanks.

No, absolutely nothing. It has something to do with the machinery apparently.

[acclimatized]

Elementary?

Should I even ask what has happened before?

[doubleoohbaby]

Just be assured that zombies are the least of our problems. They were merely a welcoming party for you.

Hello, John. Welcome, I suppose.

What is an R.E.M?

[acclimatized]

It's fine. Really. It was good that you told me sooner rather than later.

And I'd really like that.

[acclimatized]

What an induction! It would have been nice if there were less jumpsuits and lunging involved.

[acclimatized]

[ heeeello vanozza. just for you, john will switch to video and lean in towards the camera, a faint smile tugging on his lips. ]

It's fine. I'm slow at typing anyway and vlogging does seem a bit easier.

[ except he still has some trust issues and he would prefer if his face wasn't plastered over the network. ]

The Man on the Moon? Errm, it's a song back where I'm from... sort of. It came out back in '92 aaand I am showing my age.

[acclimatized]

Yeah, someone told me the day I arrived. I haven't met anyone since then, but better safe than sorry.

[hellosailor]

Probably a good move. I guess you can only hope you didn't piss anyone off, right?

[acclimatized]

Thanks.

It's a band where I'm from. I have a few of their albums and far too much time on my hands.

[doubleoohbaby]

You got lunging? Lucky. I only ever saw some moderate shuffling.

[hyanaimne]

You are welcome. My name is Tempest.

I see. I am assuming an album is a collection of their music?

You said you were a doctor, yes? The clinic can always use help. I work there as well, but I have left them short-handed at the moment.

[acclimatized]

That or break any hearts while I was here. Though I suppose that does count as pissing someone off.

[ because in the right circumstances, his break-ups can turn ugly. ]

[acclimatized]

I would disagree with you if I didn't have a Batwoman helping me out.

[doubleoohbaby]

A Batwoman? How many are there?

[acclimatized]

Just one, I suppose. I haven't had the opportunity to investigate further.

[hellosailor]

Oh, a heart breaker, are we? You and me are going to have to hit the town sometime. Or you know, hit the moon.

[acclimatized]

Hi Tempest. That's right; they released quite a few of them back in the day.

Short-handed? I remember hearing something like that when I arrived but then everything happened and... yeah. I would love to join you guys and help out.

[hyanaimne]

I will have to see if I cannot look them up somehow. I've not heard any modern music yet.

We would love to have you. You will probably find the people contact faster than I would, but you can always simply go there and ask about it as well. I doubt they would turn down more help.

[ensorceler]

It is always good to have more doctors about, and something I know I am grateful for along with others who still remember graciousness.
