Oddly enough, the first instance of this particular event I was here for has been the worst for me, thus far. I suppose, by the City's time, that's about four years ago now. It's been longer by my count, but to be honest, it's a little disconcerting to even try to keep track of that.

At any rate, when you go through enough of these they start to just become part of life here. Like a drastic, sudden spike in tourism that often comes with a few acquaintances and even friends - some of which have been developed exclusively over the course of these days - who are, of course, welcome to say hello. For those who haven't been here before, welcome to the City. I do realize that how terrifying it can be to find yourself here, but you'll probably be headed home before long, right back to when and where you came from.

For those of us on this side, the best option has always seemed to be going about your day and taking the visitors as they come, so that's precisely what I'm going to do. Besides, I somehow doubt the hospital would appreciate me calling out right after a massive population spike.

[ Joan will run into Wilson at the hospital. She's got a stranger in tow with her... someone she doesn't know or care about, but he had a newly broken arm and might be in danger of shock, so she took it upon herself to drag him to the hospital. People were happy to give her directions. But the hospital is as busy as the City outside, and she is getting tired of waiting for someone to see the stranger. She itches to be out there, figuring out what's going on and why she's here in this odd place. ]

Excuse me? [ She's trying to get his attention, giving him a hopeful, friendly smile. ] Do you have any idea of the wait time right now?

[dr_conscience]

[Watch out for the bleeding heart. Though he does have a clipboard in hand, hustling through the not entirely un-zoolike waiting area, he stops to returns her smile with a small one of his own, though it is a bit weary from the admittedly busy day. His tone starts off apologetic.]

I'm... afraid I'm not entirely sure. It's been a little tricky, keeping track of time.

[Though he gives her charge a glance, and frowns at the arm. That's when he steps closer to get a better look.]

What happened here? Broken?

I said I'd tag you, never guaranteed that I'd start all my own threads. orz

[ Sherlock knew he'd find Joan at the hospital.

Okay, that's a lie: he had come up with a short list of places to which she would be likely to gravitate when thrust in such an unfamiliar situation as this, but the hospital was totally at the top and he was glad to have found her on the first try. ]

Ah, Watson. I see you've found some friends.

[ Hello, strangers. Neither of you would happen to have seen my turtle, by any chance? ]

<3!

[ Oh hey, it's her usual charge. She won't admit to a touch of relief. First she addresses Wilson in a professional sort of tone. ] Yeah, although I think it's a clean break. Don't know how he got it, but since we were only a couple blocks from the hospital I said I'd walk him.

[ Then she turns to Sherlock. ] What's going on here? Do you have any idea?

YAY.

[dr_conscience]

[ He glances up at Sherlock's arrival, diverting his attention from the patient for only a moment to acknowledge his arrival. He responds to Joan as he returns his focus to the arm, and evaluating his state. ]

Awfully nice of you. I think we'd better get him taken care of now... he should have been given priority from the start.

[ But he'll look into that later - right now, he's glancing toward the exam rooms. It's only a moment before another doctor walks out of one with a discharged patient, and Wilson flags him over to secure that room before he takes another patient into it. ]
