canon is Zombies, Run!

You knew when we started that this wasn't going to be easy. Not as many people know me, and who you know is important everywhere. Just - don't be so impatient. You're still very busy, and you can't just put me in any-

- no, you really can't put me just anywhere. I won't leave Abel Township just to become purposeless. So take time, take stock of your options, find me a place where I can help people.

I'd ask for a place without a world-altering crisis, too, but. . . well. Maybe that's just another kind of experience that could be useful.

eeeeeeeee :D

I'm sure there're plenty of places out there for you to work your magic, Maxine. -Er, Dr. Myers.

[Oh hey, it's that Runner you keep sending on missions. What's up, doc?]

aaaaaaa YOU. I love your Five!

[abelmedic]

[Ah, the age-old question. What to be called. She opens her mouth to tell him not to bother to amend the address - Runner Five has seen (or heard, rather) parts of herself that she pointedly does not bare to the township. But then again, perhaps that is as good a reason as any to show up her image. Doctors are trusted to be strong, entrusted with as much human fear and uncertainty as any priest.

In the end, she does not make it any more difficult than it needs to be. Neither over-familiarity nor standing on ceremony suit her.]

Whichever you like. How have you been, Five?

Aaw, thank you kindly! <3

[He won't mention Paula. Seeing that far into Maxine's heart is something he'll keep secret even on this side of the fourth wall. But she's more than the prickly doctor Five thought she was when he arrived at Abel Township.]

[He grins toothily and crosses his arms over his chest.]

So-so. Been out running with the mun here, and she's been decent. Not as good as Runner 7 or Runner 8. Bit flaky, really, but otherwise... eh. You been well, Maxine? Just got here, right?

[abelmedic]

I've been well, yes. Maybe a little idle, but saying as much might be asking for trouble. Some of the alternatives seem like they give Abel a run for its money.
