(4/2, morning.)

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!]]

There are, of course, the woods - but those are a far, full-day adventure. I have found that the park does yield rare beauties.

[ Constancy in a world of uncertain change. He has his own doubts from strange things happening to those around him, but with so little information it's hard to conclude anything. ]

Perhaps we can go in the morning, or late afternoon, when the sun isn't so bright.

[erythristic]

I'll only agree to a morning if it's on a Sunday. Otherwise, late afternoon, and then lead on. The weather's been fair enough to accommodate a few little excursions.

[she likes the rain, but not for long walks in the park. more for sitting outside under cover and breathing in the scent and slight chill.]

What have you been finding in the park? Or do you want to keep it a surprise?

[accordance]

[ Sunday mornings are his days off, so there's no conflict there. ]

Flowers are one, though the animals do stir as spring comes. We may have to walk into the grass a little to see the birds, but I will bring binoculars.

[ He's managed to stay out of being myopic for so long but that's hardly helpful with seeing small things at large distances. ]

How about next Sunday?

[erythristic]

That sounds fine. Should we meet here, or at the park itself? Just so I don't make you wait on me.

[this is how much she values him as a friend. she'll drag herself out of bed early for him.]

[accordance]

[ And he will repay that with a handpicked breakfast. If she'll let him, of course. ]

Here would be better. I intend to pick up some food before we go. Perhaps a small informal picnic while we are at it?

[erythristic]

Why not? It's a better use of my Sunday than simply a dozen odd errands. Just tell me if I need to bring anything to add to it.

[she's already grinning at the idea.]

[accordance]

[ Something to get their minds off this whole mystery... and to relax, really. They need it. ]

Anything you would like to eat, I would think. I can get us bread, fruits, artisan teas... whatever you prefer.

[erythristic]

Things that are in season would be appropriate...although tea would never be amiss. Black, if you please.

[how considerate of him, she thinks.]

It's a promise. I'll be here right on time.

[accordance]

[ Only the best of comforts for his friends. ]

Black it is.

[ So that's a deal. Maybe people would find two adults going on a picnic a little strange, but what matters is the enjoyment. ]
