here's watson being a doctor

[timetoblog]

Just popping on to remind everyone that cold weather usually brings colds, so remember to take care of yourselves. Keeping warm when out in cold weather is easy to do, and it'll save you from the discomfort of walking around with pins and needles running down your feet and hands, not to mention the more serious issue of frostbite and hypothermia, for those of you who spend long hours outside. And, as you always should, make sure to wash your hands often and don't sneeze on other people.

Thanks for the PSA. God, you're such an old man sometimes.

And I guess none of that applies to me anyway, huh? Lucky.

[timetoblog]

I'm not sure how it is in prisons, generally, but you might be at a higher year-round risk for catching a cold or the flu, since you're in permanently tight quarters. Just so you're aware. Then again, your immune system might make up for all of that.

And what's old about trying to make sure everyone stays healthy?

[xxxing.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't three years underground mess with my immune system a little? But it's not like I know how all that stuff works.

Everything! What kind of normal person gives a shit about that? It's an old man thing, looking after everyone else 'cause you've got nothing better to do.

[timetoblog]

...I'm not sure, honestly.

Well, then. I'll have to resign myself to being an old man who looks after everyone else.

[xxxing.livejournal.com]

Some great doctor you are.

... What? No, wait, you're not supposed to just give in that quick, it's too easy to make fun of you!

[timetoblog]

Sorry, sorry. I'm not old at all, Minatsuki, and I'm gravely offended that you would suggest such a thing.

[xxxing.livejournal.com]

Don't patronise me!

[timetoblog]

You're making it difficult to tell what you want me to say, here.

[firstassistant.livejournal.com]

And thank you for stating the bloody obvious.

[timetoblog]

You would be surprised at what's considered "obvious" and "new information" to some people on the community.

[firstassistant.livejournal.com]

Yes. And see little how I care.

[timetoblog]

That's fine. Considering I'm not sure I even know you, we can probably safely deduct that this was a public announcement, not one specifically for you.

[firstassistant.livejournal.com]

Except if I don't care, that means a lot of others probably don't as well. You're just wasting your time.

[timetoblog]

I have time to waste, so I suppose it all works out.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

It's very kind of you to take the time out to let everyone know.

[timetoblog]

It's the least I could do, considering some people might not have access to public health announcements on their worlds.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

[Like her.]

Public health announcements? They do this a lot in your world?

[timetoblog]

Relatively often, though most of them are for serious illnesses, like cancer, drug addiction, that sort of thing.

[makewayforroze.livejournal.com]

Do you normally make them?

[timetoblog]

Not in my world, but I occasionally want to make them on the community. I suppose I couldn't help myself this time around.

So we just need shoes and we're good?

[Video]

[timetoblog]

Er, if it's chilly out, you'd be better suited with a coat and, yes, shoes.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

What if they don't sell clothes where you're at?

[Video]

[timetoblog]

Then you might have a bit of a problem. But as long as you try to stay out of the cold as much as possible, you shoudl be all right.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

Can't, we hardly hit any inns. But I don't have to worry about washing my hands because I wear gloves!

[Video]

[timetoblog]

Right, of course. Where do you live, then, Tidus? I mean, seasonally. Is it always warm, or...?

[Video]

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

Zanarkand was always kind of warm. Not sweltering like Kilika, but not cold either. Kind of in the middle?

[Video]

[timetoblog]

Perfect weather, you mean to say. You're lucky - though, growing up in that sort of climate's got to make it difficult to handle cold temperatures, I imagine.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

When I first got here, the place was really cold. I was drenched, too! Thankfully, it hasn't been that cold since then! Hopefully it won't be.

Are you a doctor?

[timetoblog]

Yes, I am. My name's John Watson.

[called911.livejournal.com]

Do people call you Dr. Watson?

[timetoblog]

Usually, yes. Or John, obviously.

[called911.livejournal.com]

Only grown-ups get to call other grown-ups by their first names.

[timetoblog]

Not all the time. I don't mind if you'd rather call me John. Or Mr. Watson, for that matter. Though, Dr. Watson does sound rather important, if I say so myself.

[called911.livejournal.com]

Dexter is the only grown-up who's said I can call him by his first name, and he's my mom's boyfriend.

[timetoblog]

I see. Well, I wouldn't want to take away from that. If it helps, though - plenty of adults don't call other adults by their first name unless they're told it's okay.

[called911.livejournal.com]

I know.
