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!))

[Henry walks in carrying a little device.] Here. It might help you out.

Action forever

[Carson is currently filling out a patient's paperwork, when he looks up, frowning at the object]

What is it?

[technohap.livejournal.com]

A translator I created. You're supposed to speak into it and it'll translate it into the programmed language but I doubt it'll understand your accent. So there's a text to speech function too.

[See Carson. Henry is good friend!]

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

A translator?

[He's impressed] Thanks, Henry, I'm sure it'll be very handy.

[technohap.livejournal.com]

Because you obviously can't speak French.

[Smiles.] What are friends for right? And besides, I didn't give off the best first impression.

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

Aye, I concentrated a wee bit more on biology than languages.

[He does have a GCSE in German, however.]

And you didn't have to go out of your way.

[Henry just smiled.]

It wasn't out of my way, Carson. I just tweaked the stuff in the shop the castle gave me to help a friend. Besides, it was fun!

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

You remind me of my friend.

[Only Rodney didn't consider it as 'fun' as much]

[technohap.livejournal.com]

A friend from home? Who would that be?

[atadiscoverer.livejournal.com]

He's called Rodney.

You're easier to get along with, though.

Rodney...[Henry stops himself before talking about the TV series.]

Thanks!
