Hello, everyone. [He pauses there for a moment and a mouse cheeps in the background. WELP. It’s a start.]

I was wondering if I could speak to the doctors who work at the clinics here or anyone who has had medical practice. I’ve been studying medical treatment myself and I thought it would be a good idea to become acquainted with everyone.

[He knows it’s been a while since he last spoke to Adele about this but it’s better late than never, right? The mouse cheeps again] I know, I know, just a minute… Oh! Also, there was one particular doctor that was recommended I speak with about something… Doctor Law, I believe his name was. So it’s important I talk to him too, if at all possible.

Thanks.

[And he ends the entry there.

Later in the day, Sion will be out in the village, mainly in the clinic and library. He won’t stay long in the main clinic, but just to take a look at the main schedule Adele once told him about.

After that, he’ll head to the library. If you spot him there, you’ll be able to notice that he has three mice on his person, quite literally. They aren’t real mice, but they definitely appear to be real. There’s a white one, which sits atop his head, a black one which is on his shoulder and a brown one which is on his opposite shoulder. It seems odd but this is totally normal for him. He’s picking out a bedtime story for them, you see. Still totally normal for him. They like it a lot when he reads plays to them okay.]

Dr Maturin. From the year 1805. [As he's found it helps to say that.] I am a physician by education and trade, but I have some surgery experience.

I run a small clinic out of my home.

1805? [Well now that was quite a long time ago wasn't it?] I see... well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Doctor Maturin. My name is Sion. [He wants to ask questions about the time period he's from, but he holds back. They can talk about that later.]

How long did you study to become a physician? Do you continue to study here? Since knowledge in the medical field has broadened since that time period and all.

I have picked my studies back up, yes. I attended school for many years and was an apprentice in a hospital in Paris. Though, really, any proper physician is always learning. His patients teach him.

That is very true. [It's basically how Sion's medical experience started, with his patient teaching him. Working on a bullet wound with no prior practice or anything.] What was it like to work as an apprentice in Paris?

voice:

[patchworkallegiance]

Incredible. I was set to work almost immediately upon their cadavers. My masters were extraordinary.

[So many friends.

Such a time of fire and politics and passion.

Lofty ideals and grand plans for the future.

Paris was an inspiration and a tragedy together.]

I can imagine they were. [Sion's pretty impressed and interested in the fact it didn't take him long to work on their cadavers. Back home in the city of No.6, all dead bodies were taken by the city and handled by them. It was rare, if it ever happened, when an ordinary doctor was allowed to even inspect and do an autopsy on even a mutilated corpse.]

What was it like to work on their cadavers? Were you set to work on anything else?
