A fine place this is.

I'd say I'm used to it, but honestly, the barracks I used to sleep in were still less of a hellhole even in wartime. Who has been here the longest? I have some questions for you.

Those who have been here a shorter time may answer as well, if you know the answers.

What sort of place is this? I am sure we have all received the same letter, but I can't help find it slightly odd.

How many people are in this place currently, and how many working on civilian defense are there?

And finally, is anyone here a doctor?

I am a doctor.

Do you currently have the materials to dress a wound?

text

[doctor_dismemberment]

There are plenty of first aid materials in the infirmary. Are you injured, then?

text

[notayoungkitten]

I lost a limb due to a recent incident and need it looked at. It's been bandaged and treated, but I would prefer not to get an infection.

text

[doctor_dismemberment]

Oh, how... terrible. Well, it should be easy enough to keep it from getting infected. Can you make your way to the second floor by yourself, or is it a leg that you've lost?

[Richtofen will win no points for sensitivity.]

[notayoungkitten]

My hand.

I'll be there.

[Fortunately, Ocelot is not a very sensitive person herself.]

text; sorry for the slowness

[doctor_dismemberment]

Oh, wonderful. I'll be waiting!

no problem!

[notayoungkitten]

[It doesn't take long at all for her to make it to the second floor and to start looking for the infirmary.]

[doctor_dismemberment]

[When she gets there, Richtofen will be waiting, looking bored as he gathers a bunch of medical equipment together. Honestly, he'd have wanted to be the one to do the amputating, but he'll settle for looking after the stump. It had been a while since he'd actually used his medical knowledge for a good cause, in any case; he doesn't want to get too rusty.]

[Because ugh goddamn computers and typing.]

It's entirely an impossibility, yet here we are. I've neither headcount nor any idea of defenses.

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

[She switches on the video because what.]

You're here too?!

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

...Excuse me?

[Your response is a blank and mildly confused look.]

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

...Did you hit your head?

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

Recently? No. Have we met?

[video]

[notayoungkitten]

..Yes? Of course we have.

[video]

[liquidouroboros]

You don't exactly look familiar.

[notayoungkitten]

[She frowns.]

Honestly, boss, this is not the time to joke around.

This is some place called the Tower or somethin.'

I ain't believing any crap that those letters are sayin' cuz it doesn't sound right like ya said.

There's a lot of people here. This place could probably fit more than a population of people. I ain't no defender but I try ta defend those who can't fight for themselves.

There's the infirmary. Usually, there's those nurses and docs hagin' out there.

[notayoungkitten]

A few hundred, would you say? I haven't been here long enough to see.

Can you fight?

[text]

[ainohenshin]

Yeah, I guess it's probably around a hundred or something for now. I mean there's a lot of people here, but I don't have time ta sit around and count 'em all.

Yeah more or less. I ain't the best fighter out there, but I can hold my ground pretty well.

[text]

[notayoungkitten]

That's good enough, I suppose.

Are you aware of any organized efforts in the Tower?

[text]

[ainohenshin]

It's better than nothin' is how I think about it.

I'm not exactly sure, since I haven't been here long an' all, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people here, so if ya ask around, they'll be nice enough ta answer your questions and stuff.

[notayoungkitten]

Thanks.

I appreciate it.

[text]

[ainohenshin]

Eh, you don't have ta really thank ma m'am.

[ He rubs the back of his head sheepishly. ]

If ya get in any trouble, just give me a heads up. I don't mind helpin' out with stuff around here.

[text]

[notayoungkitten]

I appreciate it.

The same goes for you. I never miss my mark, so if you get into trouble, ask for Ocelot.
