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!))

Uh, apparently...delivery boy.

[Slight chuckle.]

For a bakery. It...isn't really much different from what I was doing at home for the most part.

Only I don't really understand...any of the addresses. Or orders. Or what most of the food is called either.

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

Well, that's always bloody helpful, isn't it?

[He pauses] A tourist map might help with the addresses.

[fatedtobehated.livejournal.com]

A tourist map? Oh...that...is a good idea, actually!

How much do those usually cost? Cause...um.

[He's kind've a moneyless hobo.]

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

They're usually about €1.50, maybe even 50 cents. Unless you know someone doing tours and can snag one for free.

Sometimes the Tourist Information point has free ones.

[fatedtobehated.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely have to check that out then...maybe someone I know is running some kind of tour.

Failing that the tourist information point seems like the best option...I'm really not used to being in a foreign country, eheh.

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. I'm used to other galaxies.

[If you ask him what the Stargate address to M2X-232 is, he'd likely be able to tell you, but he'll be damned if he knows where a place is in Paris.]

[fatedtobehated.livejournal.com]

Other...Galaxies?

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

Uh, aye. Mainly the Pegasus galaxy.

[fatedtobehated.livejournal.com]

Wow, um...I had no idea. T-that's really interesting! Are you from the future maybe?

Uh, from my perspective, I mean. I'm...from the year 2007, so...back home, that is.

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

I'm from 2007, too.

We're not that technologically advanced. We were just lucky in finding the Stargate.

[fatedtobehated.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? Maybe that'll happen sometime soon back home then...

If you don't mind me asking though, what is a stargate?

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

It's a big ring, it lets us create stable wormholes between two gates.

[fatedtobehated.livejournal.com]

Wow...that sounds really complicated! Even if we're from the same time that's a lot more advanced than anything my world has ever had.

Publicly, anyway...

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

Aye, well, the Stargate program is a governmental secret.
