video - how to enrage every vet in the city in 2 simple steps

[h2no]

[here is archie again with another one of his weird dogs!! he's floating in the tide, hanging off a sunbathing sharpedo and holding onto its dorsal fin with his free hand.]

Yo! Alright, so apparently I can heal animals now! Sick as shit, right? I tried to get hired by the local vets but they said I have no experience and I'm a [finger quotes] disgrace to the profession and all higher education. Stupid, right?

[he can't imagine why people who had to study for years would be annoyed by some jackoff who shows up with magic.]

Anyway, if ya have somethin' that needs attention, give me a chirp. I'll come see what I can do about it and I'll charge less than those asshole vets.

...Don't call me if it's you that's got messed up, though. I tried, and I can't do shit for injured humans. Go to the hospital or call Angie or somethin'.

[the one thing he won't divulge is that he's actually reading vet books like some stupid nerd. awful.]

Maybe I should look into setting up a clinic.

I can see why the vets would be so upset about, but that's that's just going a little too far. It's not as though you're going to be taking over.

[h2no]

But you're a people doctor!

[SO SILLY ANGIE]

...I might've said I would. Repeatedly.

[caduceusvalkyrie]

Yes? I spent over five years at university to get to where I was. But I'd never say no to help if I see someone can do something. Here at least.

[She just stares.]

Archie...

[h2no]

Uh... I mean, I guess a joint GP-vet would work?

[no, it wouldn't.]

I'm used to being leader...

[caduceusvalkyrie]

I mean a clinic for people if you're sending people my way. But why not work on that then? A vet-like practice of your own? That way you'll still be a leader if it's what you really want.

[h2no]

Oh, right. I said that, didn't I?

[nice attention span NERD]

Ah-- maybe try talkin' to Jonathan Walsh? He might want a consultation with ya soon. Told him about your power, hope ya don't mind.

[caduceusvalkyrie]

[She's put a hand to her face, but she's more...amused than anything.]

Of course I don't mind, I don't keep them a secret. I'll look him out.

I think looking into doing something on your own would be good for you.

[h2no]

Cool. He said contact is gonna be a bit of a problem if he's bleedin'... here's his number.

I... yeah. [his jaw sets slightly.] I hope so.

[caduceusvalkyrie]

Did he say why? And thank you.

You've got this if you do it.

[h2no]

Acid blood! Sounds fun.

[his eyebrows draw together and he makes a weird expression like the top half of his face is trying to portray something differently from the bottom half, which has a forced smile.]

Yeah! I will!

[actually being in the position where he COULD start and be the leader of something... suddenly archie isn't so much into this.]

[caduceusvalkyrie]

Acid blood? [Where do you find these people Archie? Ignore the fact she's met this guy before...]

Archie?

[She's confused by his expression.]

[h2no]

He's a different species!

[he grunts.]

I'm fine!
