gemma reilly reporting for duty to the serial killer basement what the fuck

Hi, so okay, we haven't met yet but I'm Erran, I'm new here and yesterday [...] earlier Edwin was explaining stuff to me and mentioned that you're a nurse and people go to you for medication and other health stuff. Unfortunately he also mentioned that the pharmacy is in town, which I would guess is a problem right at the moment, but maybe not? I don't know what you have on hand or...okay.

I'm epileptic (got that during Penetrating Brain Injury Tour '05, rock on) and (a) I'm on daily meds, and (b) although the meds help a ton, I do get breakthrough seizures so I know that some public-health education is probably going to be necessary here so that people in the house don't freak out. I'm fine with breaking out some magic markers to draw a fun informative poster with instructions like "do not put your fingers in my mouth or I will bite those fuckers off so help me" or "watch out, men, he pees his pants", but you know the place better than I do and I figured you might have thoughts about the best gameplan there.

Uh, that's it. Also, so far the people I've talked to have reacted to this with some alarm, but out there in the real world I do counselling and long-term therapy (mostly around grief and trauma issues), so hearing that there's a nurse in the house just triggered my social worker's instinct to facilitate things. Primal urge to interface with other professionals in the community to create resources that will promote social cohesion, you feel me. Let me know if I can help with anything, in other words.

The new guy is a grief/trauma counselor.

He asked me how he could help and I just kind of laughed at my computer for a minute. I was swamped by the noises in my head.

Holding up okay, sunshine?

Tune into British Drunkard's room right now. Please because I cannot be the only one witnessing this. There's someone in there in black with a plague mask on and I need a fellow witness for whatever transpires. One of you better be awake.
