007 ~ One hospital is like another [Action/Dictated]

[atadiscoverer]

[So, it's time for work!

And, after a long and complicated Métro ride into the centre of Paris, and a bus to the banks of the Seine, Dr. Carson Beckett finally finds Saint-Pierre Infirmerie, where he was supposed to be working as a locum A&E doctor. He flops in behind his desk, making sure his pager is easily viewable, should he be called to an emergency, and takes out his journal.]

So, who else is starting their first day in Paris without being able to read or speak a bloody word of French?

Aye, everyone here speaks English, but I swear they're bloody talking about me behind my back... And all the labels are in French, too.

((OOC: Feel free to come into A&E with some odd injuries, or to just bug him. Open for voice over journal, or action at the hospital. Also, happy to forward-date, if wanted. Carson is also on-call, so happy to accept random calls in the middle of the night, either by journal or phone!))

[He nods]

Thank you. I'll give it a try later.

[closes his journal and stares at his name on the cover]

How strange...

[atadiscoverer]

Aye, it's odd, but I'm certain you'll get used to the way things are done in this place.

I'm probably not the best person to ask, though. Only been here for two weeks.

[both-neither.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose you know why we're here?

[atadiscoverer]

No, and I don't think anyone knows.

[both-neither.livejournal.com]

'Least I'm not alone, then.

So, what now, Doc?

[atadiscoverer]

Well, it'll be a few more minutes for your food. Now we're in an actual hospital, I'll see about a painkiller that won't make you drowsy.

[both-neither.livejournal.com]

That would be nice. I feel like I've been sleeping forever. How long has it been?

[atadiscoverer]

Just a few days.

[The nurse comes over with some food, and Carson helps wheel the little table over so Gren can eat]

I'll leave you to it, if you want. You can call me over the journal, or hit the button here... [He points it out] And someone will be right there with you.

[both-neither.livejournal.com]

[He nods]

Thanks, doctor. I won't keep you. I, uh, didn't get your name, by the way.

[atadiscoverer]

Oh!

[It completely slipped his mind, too!]

Beckett. Carson Beckett.

[both-neither.livejournal.com]

A pleasure then, Dr. Beckett. And thank you...for your help.

[atadiscoverer]

My pleasure. It's what I'm here for.

[Carson smiles, as he stands and stretches a bit.]

I'll see you later. I'll go and source out that painkiller.
