Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sciurus did not look back as he made his way down the hall and to the elevator, passing his ID again. Though there was the smallest of smiles on his face, and being Sciurus, he'd been completely serious. Tamir waved at the surgeon before turning to survey Sammy. He'd been working at the hospital for about a year on Visa from somewhere in India, but sometimes Americans with their jokes and sayings still confused him. "Wait, were you serious or did you change your mind about the question? I'm not sure the doctor was joking, why would you be wandering around down here?" He checked a chart on the desk showing which rooms were free. "So what brings you to the hospital today? I am Tamir, temporary head of Radiology."

"Hm... Well he asked for an MRI so let's see what's going on in there. The joints are usually bone ends connected with elastic tissue called ligaments and sometimes filled with fluid called meniscus. Bones usually break in the middle, but the ligaments can be torn, ruptured or just slightly strained." Tamir went around to start pushing the wheelchair towards the room. "Before we start I should ask, Have you had an MRI before? Have any blood, renal, respiratory problems? Are you claustrophobic? Any history of joint or muscle problems before hand; Arthritis, tendinitis, gout, bursitis? And do you have any problems where you can't stand, sit, or lie down for 30 minutes?" Normally things like this would be noted on a patient chart, but Sammy was new and hers would probably be made later. "Any allergies to anything?"

(I understand you fully, there... I find that when life takes bad turns, so do I. Suddenly I just don't feel like a very kind person, and simply think negatively of things for no real reason. D: It's hard to break the pattern once you're in it, too...

What if he's not even a driver at all? What if he just randomly steals a bus every once in a while and makes his own routes? A vigilante driver! Think about it. < U <

Our ship might as well be a bus floating about with some sails on it, at this point. xD)

Orrin very much liked the thought of having tiny fires sparking inside. Was wasn't he born a car? His life would have been so much more simple. Especially since cars probably couldn't get sick, either... He couldn't help but to feel jealous. And then Voyager knew so many amazing people too, like Bambi, princesses and sorcerers! All he knew were doctors, more or less. Just a bunch of doctors, scientists and a talking van. And even so, would he insist that Voyager was the weird one of them.

"Mmmm... Th-th-that m-might hurt...", the zombie said with a nod. He did know that fire could do that. He just kept forgetting at the worst of times... "S-s-sam s-says that i-i-if I... If I t-touch it, he'll hi-hi-hit m-me... O-o-or t-take out the... Th-th-the s-spray b-bottle..." Orrin shivered, just thinking of that horrid thing.

(No one can stop this madness. NO ONE. emotion_dowant There are far too many bus drivers in the world not being shipped...

My day was saved by one this morning though. Ended up running foolishly late, even knew that I would miss it, yet kept running. And even though no one else was at the bus stop, he waited for me. AND I WAS MET WITH A SMILE. No comments about crazy arm motions, just looking pleased to see even a late idiot as me. TT w TT And then I found the potential love of my life...)

Orrin frowned. In his mind, a good friend would never force water onto another friend. It was simply not okay. "Th-th-th-then he p-put a... A co-co-collar on m-me... He's a... A-a-an idiot...", he said with a huff. Of course, Sam really was a good friend, although slightly overprotective. But it's no wonder that the man would do anything to keep his zombie unharmed, when he was usually the one having to patch him up.

{ emotion_dowant YES. We could end up having a whole fleet of bus-rafts! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

emotion_kirakira Awwwwww that's AWESOME! I'll bet you made his day : ) Maybe he was WAITING for you O u O Like maybe he's really your Guardian Bus Driver!

I have renewed respect for and admiration for Jimmy now. I needed to go somewhere and got up hella early to ride with him for two straight mornings, Thursday and Friday. BOTH MORNINGS, two different places/ cars but both mornings people had to be stupid. The first morning we were almost up where I might switch buses, we had stopped at a corner of a sideroad & he was getting ready to pull out, instead of using common sense & just waiting behind us to turn some lunatic in a Lexus cut us off from around the left, AROUND the bus trying to get into the sideroad. & really she was close enough, I really thought we hit her. He had just started to pull out & course she came from the wrong angle & with the bus she couldn't quite get in. She wanted him to back up! Oh hell no lady. Buses don't back up. Take your Lexus & move already before he lets this angry mob back here off the bus. Then the next morning, closer to my house (& I know this moron didn't use his mirror cause seriously wth?) some idiot in a city vehicle was parked on the side. almost just as we're passing he suddenly moves and cuts in front of the bus doing a u-turn. REALLY?? Gotta love Jimmy though, his reflexes are awesome and both times he was cool as a stone. New Yorker comin' through.}

Voyager still didn't understand about the collar. Though he supposed friends did crazy stuff to each other all the time, that was the point wasn't it? "Well I guess friends can do stuff like that sometimes. Just having fun, y'know? Not everybody's perfect." The van started laughing. "I buried Sciurus once. Although at the time we weren't really friends yet."

"Ok." Tamir set the lock on the wheelchair with some difficulty, then plopped a pillow on the bed. "Can you get up and on alright?" He went to the side control pad and pushed a button to make sure the bed was at it's lowest. A pair of headphones were already hanging on the side in wait.
