4. (LUCID DREAMING) (VIDEO)
[Chilton wears an unusually grim expression, when he tunes into the Network. He closes his office door behind him, which angled the communicator down to his door-closing hand -- one of his fingers sports a particularly ancient looking ring. There's a sharp glint in that glimpse, before the camera angle soon directs back to the doctor's face.]
Desirable difficulty. Are you familiar with the concept? [Rhetorical, of course.] The theory that the presence of an inconvenience or obstacle, and the act of overcoming that roadblock, will better synthesize cerebral information. The concept could be expanded upon how the brain identifies and encodes patterns, themes, what have you, in the midst of a crisis.
[Chilton flips the communicator camera back around to showcase his environment. The bright ceiling luminescence and mint green hallways of Heropa Downtown Hospital provide a sterilized, if normalized, depiction of a stereotypical medical center.
It's the collapsed, unconscious doctors with their noose-like stethoscopes and limp, unmoving patients lining the walls, floor, the rooms that juxtapose something unsettling.]
Would you consider this difficulty desirable?
[This is all in reference to the Pestilence of the Horseman Plot. If you need an excuse for a point of infection, you can consider this to be it!]

no subject
Can you do something about it? Given your... Abilities?
no subject
[He's a particularly crappy one, actually]
It just...happened?
no subject
Do you think it's sourced by magic?
no subject
Do you need an airlift out?
no subject
I don't. Seem to be affected.
[Which could be damning in of itself.]
Perhaps it's best if I just slip out. Wouldn't want the locals to conclude our involvement, would we?
[Hah.]
no subject
[Pause.]
Well, okay. If you're sure.
no subject
[That last part? That was whispered. Confessional.
But it was all for naught, wasn't it, because one didn't have to be in physical proximity to Pestilence to be infected.]
no subject
Are you okay?
[He's worried, now.]
no subject
[Private.]
I am the only one unaffected in this building. Everyone else who could have left did, but I can't be sure how far they made it.
private;
Well.
Yeah, it might be important for you to get out clean.

[Optimistic of him, to assume a mass infection would be cleared up. Assumptions in this world could run so high.]

-- I hope this won't affect our regularly schedule session. Office notwithstanding.

[Whoops. Chilton stops himself, but only by impulse; Billy is too sharp to let that slide.]
What I mean to say is, I had a confrontation at the end of April, and that was highly inconvenient overall. Much like this.
private;
No, what happened with Crane? What kind of confrontation? You're both...doctors, so, I mean.
This isn't bad, is it?
private;
[A beat followed, and he deliberated.]
Are you familiar with the name "Batman"?
private;
[What the hell.]
I met Crane, I mean, not in person, but-
He seemed normal?
private;
private;
He was an asshole.
