(4/2, morning.)

[erythristic]

To the users of Retrospec:

This message comes from both Grell Sutcliffe and Lucian Trevelyan. There’s been discussion recently of certain changes coming over our userbase. Changes that come in different forms, from certain unexplained moments that feel like dreams or perhaps memories, items showing up without cause, or certain physical attributes undergoing shifts in inexplicable ways. It’s to the latter that we address ourselves.

We are both medical professionals, and as such we’d like to say that if you undergo such changes and would like someone to take a look at what’s happened to you, for any reason, we’re capable of doing so and willing to provide you with what information and care you need. Anyone that comes to see us will be treated with the same standards as we’d give any patient - your information will remain confidential, and your visits will be at your discretion.

[ Here is the address to an establishment in Chata, along with the phone number. ]

If you’d like to make an appointment for your visit, contact Dr. Trevelyan, and standard clinic hours will apply. Weekend morning appointments can also be arranged. If you require care outside of office hours or need things to be looked at immediately, contact Dr. Sutcliffe.

We are here to help you. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us should you have any sort of question or concerns. Feel free to comment to this post as well if you see fit.

[[ooc: since they co-wrote the post, either or both Grell (erythristic) and Lucian (accordance) will reply to threads - if you want one in particular, just say so in your thread header!]]

10/10 would recommend
got a drs note 2 explain my ridiculous eyes where do i find you on yelp

for serious tho thats actually semi comforting in a sea of shitposts

> action

[accordance]

[ After the post has been sent out, Lucian leans back in his chair with a slight but noticeable sigh. There's a pot of tea on the table between them, though he has scarcely touched his cup ever since they sat down. ]

I hope this will suffice to help...

[ But that's more of him talking to himself. Grell would know that he's quite the private person and does not usually step out in public. ]

[erythristic]

unfortunately i don't have a yelp page of my own so your review will have to be left here.

but to address the second part of your message, we simply want to make people aware of the resources they have, really.

[if it was comforting, then that was the real intention. that people didn't have to face down all of this alone, that even with scars and strange eye colors and language shifts, there were ways to not panic about it. at least, not panic as much.]

[accordance]

If you find it necessary to conceal your eye colour, I could help with looking for contact lenses.

[erythristic]

[Grell by contrast picks up her tea, sipping from it like she has been doing.]

It will. Even if people don't decide to respond, I don't doubt it will give them relief to think that there's an option now.

[she pauses.]

And I know I've said it before, but thanks for agreeing. You could have said no, and I would have understood.

[his privacy is why she had offered to be the one posting it in the first place. she'd be the public face, and he could choose whether he wished to respond publicly.]

[doublesmall]

do you mind taking a look into things if we're not sure if anything's different physically

haven't noticed anything specific but I figure it's best to make sure the whole gravity thing isn't ducking me up in ways I don't know about

something has to be different, right

[erythristic]

of course. actually, i should have clarified that check-ups in unusual circumstances are part for that "for any reason", such as yours. it's not a problem.

[accordance]

[ Classy as ever. ]

Yes. I appreciate your understanding... and that you have fronted it for me. I have found that I am not suited to social work.

[ Sometimes fatigue catches up and he still has other patients to see. ]

For now, I suppose we wait.

[constellates]

auntie is so helpful as always !
but i do not think that we have found anything about anya's russian or memory
right ?

it is nice to meet you dr trevelyan
thank you for helping too

[erythristic]

[she nods. so much of this went back to waiting. now they'd have to be on call for what occurred, but it was waiting she didn't mind.]

You have me to do the socializing. I can handle what may come in that department.

[erythristic]

not yet, anya, but if i find out anything, you'll be the first to know.

[constellates]

thank you auntie
it is okay
i am sure others have scarier problems
i would like to help them too
if auntie needs help with studying?

[hmmm not quite the right word]

* research !

[daemonized]

[His ridiculous display name is going to offset the rather serious curiosity of his following question. But he sends the message through anyway.]

I know I cannot expect precise details if this is the case, but to your knowledge, have there been occurrences of /painful/ physical changes?

That being said, I believe this post will have the effect of putting many at ease; professional opinions to rely on, should... oddities strike.

[sharplydressed]

this is a super helpful thing you guys are doing (´；ω；｀)

if you have any spots left, i think i'd like an appointment

[catsudon]

Can we refer people to you when things come up? Like down the line. If more people get forced onto this app or something.

[accordance]

[ That gets a nod while he (finally) picks up his tea and takes a sip. The topic of conversation over, it's probably time to find something else to talk about. ]

Hm... how do you feel about taking a walk sometime? Spring is in full bloom in this month.

[accordance]

[ Russian and memory are neurological things, which is unfortunately out of both their domains. ]

A pleasure to meet you.

We will keep you updated on the situation. Do let me know if you experience any physical pain as well.

[accordance]

Please do. We will never turn down anyone.

You are also welcome to see me for mundane ailments, though I suggest that any emergencies be directed to the hospital instead.

[accordance]

I have slots on weekday afternoons. Or would you prefer a weekend?

[catsudon]

Right. That's... good to know.

Do you have a number we can use to text or something? I don't trust this app to always be functional.

[erythristic]

The potential of pain exists and cannot be ruled out. Though to my knowledge, there have not been any shifts or instances of pain that would hinder a person severely. Pain seems to be limited to memory alone.

[she speaks on this because of her own memory, how she'd felt the sharp sting even when she wasn't there in her head and there was no wound to be found.]

[erythristic]

that's very kind of you, truly. i wouldn't wish to make you go through boring journals full of jargon in hope of solution, but if you can be moral support, that's equally as important!

[she also doesn't want to confuse Anya with all the words. sometimes even she needs to look words up.]

[erythristic]

I think I've been spending too much time inside, I'll happily leap at the chance to go out. Where are the best flowers at this time of year?

[if he doesn't want to talk about it, then she won't push the issue. so far, he seems unchanged to her - which is reassuring, really, since he doesn't need to deal with the odd looks she gets for her eyes.]

[daemonized]

Then there's solace to be had in the smallest of reassurances, I suppose. But, as they say, "knock on wood".

[Let's not tempt fate any more than necessary.]

[sharplydressed]

i can wait until the week, it's not that hard to deal with
is monday afternoon okay?
