JIGOKUCHO COMMUNITY CLINIC

♬♬♬

Open from eight AM to eight PM, this Lost Soul-maintained clinic has been quietly offering assistance to those in need for the past several months. To those in the know, the red cross sign in the window is a beacon for people who need a professional's eye and who for one reason or another - financial, skeptical, etc. - would prefer the intimacy of a private facility. To those not, the whispers are enough to point you in the right direction, the general agreement to not shout about it and keep it under the radar, for affordable and easily accessed healthcare is worth its own weight in gold

Patients are primarily checked in at the front, and either seen by a doctor or one of the assistants. Everything from basic checkups to immediate care is available, as well as compounded medicine for those with particular ailments. To things that just can't be handled in the private space, the staff will see to the proper referrals. Walk ins are always available - even emergencies, just call the number on the sign with the hours.

For staff and volunteers, there's always something to do. Paperwork, attending to patients, taking turns on the front desk, supply transport and acquisition - there's always an assignment for the day, and a schedule written up to be followed on the local chalkboard. Yes, the space below can be for whatever doodles you want, or just writing in when you'll next need time off. The break room contains one Nice radio, courtesy of a certain audiophile, and whether one is following the intricacies of oni baseball or new tunes, it's treated with respect. The calendar pinned to the wall contains everyone's noted down birthdays as per their hiring sheets, and there is now debate on starting a book club, given the inclination of most working there.

The second floor of the clinic is not yet finished, but Dr. Dyer has plans for it, and it's being worked on during slower shifts. Cleaning, painting, and basic repair is to be expected, as well as getting it ready to include a few more beds for when overnight patients are needed. Out the back door, however, is the most popular place to take a break amongst those working - the herbal garden filled with medicinal plants, steadily maintained along the other tasks at hand. A pair of small benches offers a place to rest one's feet, and the scene of tranquility is complete with the sound of the recently installed fountain - the water within also has healing properties, and is used in treatments. But one doesn't need to be ill to appreciate a calming scene.

The city keeps them busy enough, and the clinic so far manages to persevere, putting down small roots in Hell.

(this is a mingle log for everyone who comes through the clinic through the month of september and onwards. all top levels are welcome, from those already involved to new patients to those curious about the workings. talk to your friends, get someone to look at you bleeding your own blood, help with whatever you like - the sky is yours.

if you have any questions, pm me, otherwise enjoy!) © tessisamess

[ Yuri hasn't swung by the clinic since its early days. Stepping through the doors now, he finds it a fully-staffed, bustling operation. It's not difficult to locate the doctor at the center of it all, though he waits patiently for Emily to finish her current business before approaching her. ]

You've transformed this place into something remarkable, doctor.

[ One equipped enough that it's even spared valuable medical personnel for his shelter, which is the reason for Yuri's visit today. ]

Got time for a quick chat?

I do, as it happens.

[with her current patient now exiting the building, she's able to go to her break, and beckons Yuri to follow her into the back garden so they can speak without someone rushing up and asking for this or that.]

It's a pleasure to see you as always. What's on your mind? And how are your services running?

[she means the shelter. perks of rank mean she can also go and boss people into aiding him, should he need it - there's no hesitation on doing that. better Alliance members go help others than get into stupid fights.]

We've got a rowdier crowd than usual. [ More prone to stabbing and being stabbed, not to mention the less tangible wounds of the heart. ] The gang kids owe your staff their gratitude.

[ He walks with her to the garden, the air fresh. Peaceful. Who knows how long it would last, with tensions over the bounty brewing. ]

—As do I. I can't spare much to repay you at the moment. [ His smuggling business has just gotten to its feet, and he's not sure how Emily feels about accepting dirty money, besides. ] But I know you're planning an expedition into the wastelands. Let me help you.

[she blinks, the surprise evident on her face. she didn't expect that at all, but a direct offer is more than welcome - there's still so much she needs to do in order to be ready for when the Daitengu says to go.]

I'd be honored for anything you want to contribute, Yuri. Consider this my enthusiastic consent.

[a brief pause.]

And repayment is never needed. Just keep doing what you would with the shelter, and that's enough for me. [they both are doing what they can to help others. that's what matters - she won't ask for returns on doing what's right.]

If you need equipment, I can get my hands on weaponry. If you need backup, my sword is yours. It's no small thing you've done for me. I'd like to return the favor.

[ Even if she says repayment isn't needed, Yuri can't shake the feeling that he owes Emily for her generosity. Call it pride or whatever it is, but he always pays his debts.

Besides, it's in his interest to see the girl returned home as well. ]

[she won't refuse it again, since he's insisting. surely there's pride involved, and it wouldn't do to upset that. instead, she'll be frank.]

What I need most of all are those who will come out with me on the mission. People to stand by me, to forego the fighting that will inevitably occur, and help me get Miss Ringo back to safety.

Then I'll go.

[ Yuri isn't keen on a trip into the desert. There are too many unknowns, and they have only the vague beginnings of a plan, but he knows the other clans won't sit around and wait. ]

I agree with you that her safety is our priority. Let the other gangs pick each other off. I doubt we have the power to match the other clans, so we can only be strategic.

Indeed. Hence the talks.

[brokering at least one of the clans out of their way was a move for survival.]

I'll be in touch soon to discuss things at length - I prefer not to discuss business in depth when I'm on the clock. Let me know when you're free for it.

[because the clinic is meant to be a zone where patients are held over clans, so she keeps herself out of politics while she's working.]

[ Understandable. Yuri nods in agreement, having come here to say what he wanted to say. ]

Then I won't steal any more of your time, Emily. I've business to take care of myself, but we'll talk soon. There's much to think through.

[ He'll give some thought as to what would increase the chance of the mission's success. Yuri prefers having a plan. Winging it isn't his style. ]
