[Jimmy hasn't been around much in the last couple of days. There's a good reason for that, a damn good one, and he's about to make it known. He looks tired, worn down, maybe even a little sick as he turns the communicator towards himself to begin recording.]

I died.

[No preamble, no explanation for the moment.]

I died, 'n I don't know what to think about it. I don't know whether I could've done anythin' to stop it. I don't know why the hell I had to come back to life.

[He rests his chin on his hand, sighing.]

All I know is I could sure use someone to talk to right about now. Or drink with. I ain't picky.

[So he'll just repeat himself. Only once, mind.]

You did good. I'll buy you a drink the next time hell freezes over and they let me off call.

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

Well, I'd sure appreciate that. Figure I could use a drink after all that.

Figure you deserve it. And if you need to talk [Eeesh, he's not good with these offers] –If you're having trouble, you can always stop by.

[Chase has died here too. It really is a club.]

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

Yeah? That somethin' you doctors deal with a lot around here? Counselin' people who died 'n are fucked up about it?

More than we dealt with it back home.

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

Well, yeah, people who die at home usually stay dead, in my experience.

[intheblanks]

Kind of my point, yeah.

The city's got a certain gap when it comes to counselling services. And we tend to deal with people at a time when they need them.

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

I think it'd be kinda nice if the City had more counselin' services. Not that I, y'know, need counselin', it could just be... nice.

[He needs it.]

Most of them talk bullshit.

[Sorry, habit, soft science. He's needed one for years but so far still hasn't gone for it.]

Anyone can nod and listen.

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

I've been talkin' to Dr. Wilson some. He does more than nod 'n listen.

[intheblanks]

Doctor Wilson's... I'm not sure Doctor Wilson doesn't use some kind of voodoo.

[It's a joke. Wilson has a way about him Chase admires, but he's blunter.]

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

Yeah, I could believe it. I was sayin' shit to the guy that I never said to anyone else within about a half an hour of meetin' him.

He works with cancer kids. Difficult conversations are easy after that.

[Chase just...makes out with them?]

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

Sure, that makes sense. He tells me I have PTSD, or somethin'.

[He's kind of skeptical about that.]

Can't imagine bein' a doctor myself. You guys have to deal with way too much shit, especially around here.

From being eaten? Wouldn't surprise me.

[Well. Welcome to the club, part 2.]

Well paid shit. Don't feel too sympathetic.

Re: video;

[trenchknives]

Nah, before the bein' eaten thing. Just in general.
