Day 223 | video - open
[ the feed clicks on, showing a very consternated young woman. and then off. and then on! off! on! off! betty has no idea what she's doing, but there's a switch and she's flipping it back and forth angrily because she can't tell whether it's on or off and didn't pay as close attention to her welcome speech as she should have. ]

Stupid, bloody -- [ off. on. ] -- piece of -- [ off. on. ] -- even is this -- [ off. on, steadily now that she's taken the damn thing off and looked at what she was doing. that helps! but now she looks like she's about to cry and is trying very hard to be stiff upper lip about it. ]

What kind of prison gives you some comic book gadget, anyway? [ she takes some deep breaths now that the battle of the weird head thing is over. deep and calming, leading to an awkward pause as she realizes just what was on that list of crimes. now she's afraid and offended. ]

You know, that list of crimes is a bunch of bunk. If they think building bombs to stop Hitler is a crime then they're a bunch of Nazis!

[ probably (most assuredly) not the best first impression, but the feed clicks off again before she has a chance to fix it. ]

	Like, if someone punches you in the face and breaks your nose you get in trouble for getting hurt kind of dumb?]. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Guess I better avoid any fistfights. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fistfights, tripping over your feet... And if you do get hurt, come find me first. I can hopefully save you a trip to the hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're a nurse, too? [ an easy assumption, because she is not exactly from a time kind to a woman's (any woman's) upward career mobility. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. Well, I'm actually a doctor. I live in a more... progressive part of the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Progressive sounds nice. So long as you know what you're doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've been through lots of school and tons of field work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A good combination for a doctor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, it has been fairly helpful. [The phone beeps that there's an incoming call. Martha assumes it's another new person, and she doesn't have much else to say right now.] It looks like you're not the only one to arrive today. Is there anything else you need from me at the moment?

	No. [ she shakes her head for emphasis. ] But, thanks. For the help and all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
