Dr. Morgan Michaud-Carre Seeks To Straighten Out Her Papers, Part II
Who: Dr. Morgan Michaud-Carre.
When: Mid-morning, December 1940.
Where: The Place of German Beauracracy, trying to get her papers straightened out.
Rating: PG, so far, if that.
Status: Continued from HERE Anyone may tag this, whether I'm online or not. I will tag back upon login.
Summary: She's still looking to update her papers so as to allow her to see patients after curfew.

The lines were long. That was no surprise. Dr. Carre waited patiently, really as there was no other choice. All sorts of people came and went, stopping at windows, and sometimes, going back into private offices. There seemed to be a bit of a stir at one point, and the man led off looked terribly white-faced.

She finally reached the window, where she explained to the rather sour-looking clerk, who's French was very bad, what she needed, quickly switching to German. The sour departed, at least somewhat, as it seemed to be a more or less permanent condition. He asked about her German. "I went to school in Hungary." She explained. This seemed to mollify him almost as much as that she'd spoken his language for him, and he pointed her through to an office to the side where there was a much shorter line. "They should be able to help you there." He explained. "Yours is not a typical case, and what you have here so far does seem to be in good order."

"Danke." She said, and made her way to the next waiting spot. This moved a bit more slowly, but not terribly much so, as there were only four people ahead of her. They were ushered in one side of the office, sat down, at one of two desks. Those inside seemed to be in uniform...

There were lines. Always, always lines. Friedrich straightened his uniform and shouldered through the line between him and his superior's office with an ill-tempered growl.

So many people. So many scents. So much noise. He hated the offices at this time of day. Why did he have this duty today? He bit back another snarl; leaned against the wall once inside the office, and just watched as the newest bunch was ushered in.

Dr. Carre shuffled her paperwork, rather methodically putting it back in the order it seemed to most properly fit. The man ahead of her at the desk seemed to be wrapping up. This was a good thing. Perhaps she would go out to lunch when this was all said and done. She'd definitely stop at that little bakery, and see about some bread for supper. Perhaps they'd even have something just a bit special. She could well afford to splurge just a bit at the moment.

She'd not yet had a chance to even remotely break a sweat in the cold of the day, and even inside, where people were a bit close, it was still cool. If she smelled of anything it would be clean, a mild soap, and perhaps just a touch of natural lavender. She didn't go for the strong scents. They could make patients sneeze, or at least become offensive. She loathed most French perfumes.

The man ahead did not look entirely pleased, but was of course behaving himself about it. He rose, and went off through yet another door, apparently lacking something he needed. She was apparently next, two others having gone together to the other desk. She made her way over.

"Guten Morgen." She said, laying out the paperwork. "The clerk at the window referred me here?" She decided to simply continue on in German. So far, it had been easier.
