[Melissa's broadcasting from her apartment, which is finally starting to look more like a home instead of a mostly empty space with a few sticks of furniture. She needs pictures to hang on the walls still, but other than that...She smiles into the camera, and waves a little bit.]

Hi, good morning everybody. I'm not really sure if I should be doing this, but maybe somebody can help me?

I understand there's a hospital here, but they don't exactly have an HR department. And I don't exactly have any proof to back up my resumé. But, I am a fully-trained ER nurse, qualified for both long-term and emergency care. I have my NCLEX-RN certification, and a bachelor's in nursing.

If anybody has an "in" to a hospital job, I'd be really grateful. Thank you!

[ ONCE HE'S STOPPED EATING CEREAL ... ] Have you met Chase? He's really awesome and works down at the clinic. He'd probably be able to help you and I could back you up on the whole qualification thing.

[ Because Chase regularly deals with Stiles and his ... issues. ]

( video )

[mamanurse]

I have not met Chase! Thank you, Stiles. Do you know how I can get in touch with him?

[Stiles, your issues are what make you adorable.]

( video )

[studmuffin]

I'll text you his number! He's cool, Australian and awesome. [ AND HOT. ]

( video )

[mamanurse]

[...We need to have a talk about your hormones, young man.]

Thank you so much. You'll appreciate this later, when I can afford to feed all of you.

( video )

[studmuffin]

[ No. NO TALKING. ]

I can give you some of my allowance?

( video )

[mamanurse]

Oh, honey, no. It's fine. I'm getting a job, everything's fine.

[Somebody needs to talk to you. Silly thing.]

( video )

[studmuffin]

Okay but if you need it it's right there? There's not really a whole bill thing out in the forest.

[ But not!mooooooooom. ]

( video )

[mamanurse]

...Tell you what. Why don't you use part of that to help Scott with his clinic instead?

( video )

[studmuffin]

Huh, yeah. Good idea!

[affectioning]

[ Go Mom!

He's not mentioning her clearly being at Ginny's birthday, his drinking, his and Lydia's getting back. You know, late. Because he's still in bed. Not hungover! He really only nursed one drink all night except for Angela's topping him off. Anyway. ]

I second Chase!

[mamanurse]

Who is this Chase? I haven't met him yet, have I?

[She's not saying anything over the network, but later they might have a quiet chat in person. Hey, she was seventeen once too. She knows what goes on.]

[affectioning]

[ A quiet, not public chat is good. ]

He was at Ginny's party. He's a doctor.

[mamanurse]

...I might have been a little distracted at the party.

[By the beautiful blue eyes of James Tiberius Kirk.]

[affectioning]

Oh. You were at the party?

[ Sweet, sweet ignorance. He thought when she'd said she'd meet them there that she... wouldn't. Or, no. Well. ]

Ginny's awesome, right?

[mamanurse]

Yes, she certainly is.

And yes, I certainly was.

[affectioning]

[ Moving on. ]

I'm taking Lydia out to a few stores today.

[mamanurse]

Have a good time! And if you can get me this Chase's contact info, I'd appreciate it.

[affectioning]

I got it from Stiles. And we will.

[mamanurse]

Oh! I think I have met him. Or at least chatted with him briefly my first day here. That was such a crazy day, I can't keep it straight.

[affectioning]

Send him a message.

[mamanurse]

I think I will. I know I will.

[affectioning]

Great. Want to meet Lydia and me for lunch later?

[mamanurse]

Sure! I can take an hour or so. But I've gotta get serious about this job hunt.

[affectioning]

You'll find something. I'll let you know where we go.

[medicos]

If Dr. Chase is unavailable then you can contact Dr. James Wilson. They can help you out with your qualifications. The hospital always needs more staff.

video »

[mamanurse]

Oh, fantastic, thank you so much. Do you have Dr. Wilson's contact information?

video »

[medicos]

[ it is here because i'm too lazy to link it. ]

It's not too difficult to convince them you're qualified. You just show them that you can. People come and go here, and that's considered normal.

[mamanurse]

[Woo lazy!]

Oh, good. Because coming up with any paperwork is obviously impossible.

video »

[medicos]

Unless paper has somehow found a way to travel beyond dimension like we did, you're right about that.

I'm also one of the doctors at the hospital. My name's Leonard McCoy, ma'am.

[mamanurse]

Wouldn't that be something? Oh? You're involuntarily traveling to a new universe? Here's your paperwork trail!

Make life so much easier.

video »

[medicos]

Wouldn't make much of a difference in the end. It's still paperwork. [ what a bright sunshine he is. ]

[mamanurse]

The bane of every doctor's and nurse's existence.

And sorry, I didn't give you my name, Dr. McCoy. I'm Melissa McCall.

video »

[medicos]

McCall? You're Scott's mother, then.

video »

[mamanurse]

Yes!

He really has made quite an impression around here, hasn't he?

video »

[medicos]

Yes, quite. He's a got a good head on his shoulders. 'Suppose we've got you to thank for that, ma'am.

video »

[mamanurse]

You know, it's really nothing short of a miracle he turned out as well as he did. I'm amazed at how good of a boy...man he is sometimes. Thank you.

[Melissa, why are you up this time of day? Mornings should not exist, at least in Angela's mind, so this is why she is still in bed, lying on her side, device propped up so she doesn't need to hold it herself.

YAY! LAZY!]

Looks like things are coming along pretty well behind you.

[mamanurse]

[Because she has always been the kind of woman who only needs about six hours of sleep to function. Early mornings are the only time she usually gets to spend time with her son, too.]

Thank you! I need some prints for the walls, still.

[thenormalsquint]

[Gurl, you just said her favorite words.]

I can supply you with those. Custom made. Say and I'll paint it.

[mamanurse]

...Yeah? Are you an artist?

I can't pay you much right now, not until the job is secured. I don't want you to work for free.

[subecho]

[ An... 'in'....? ]

You wish for an entrance...? I shall show you the door.

[mamanurse]

...Not...quite what I meant. Like, an in meaning, hey, who already works there and can vouch for me for a job.

[subecho]

A healer's say.

I cannot give it. But you have my word to seek one who can.

[mamanurse]

Thanks? I appreciate that.

...Do you always talk like that?

[subecho]

Freely? Yes. We have no time for idle play.

[mamanurse]

Okay. I appreciate it.
