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.]

I'm just curious, but have you tried on sapient non-humans?

Re: [ Video ]

[h2no]

Nope! I kinda figured it was for animals an' it'd be a bit sketchy to come up ta one of ya like hey you kind of look like an animal lemme put my hands on you, you know?

[he's trying really hard to be good about non-humans.]

[ Video ]

[drivesadesk]

...good point.

And I suppose your file actually says what it's for, so you'd know it was a 'heal animal' thing and not a 'heal any species but your own' thing.

[continuousgroaning]

Awww, why would they call you a disgrace?

Re: [video]

[h2no]

Somethin' about not havin' studied the craft for years.

[he shrugs.]

Not my problem!

[siriusly]

Wow...I'm sorry they were so rude to you. I didn't realize veterinarians were so...intense. [blink. grimace. arrogant might be a better word.]

I...I guess if you wanted, you could set up your own business, couldn't you?

[h2no]

[to be fair, he did just walk in and ask for a job.]

That's what I'm gonna do! Stick it to the man!

Maybe you could go online too, find people who can't afford to go to the vets'? The whole import thing'll spread the news like wildfire.

[ He's not super into pets, despite his own, but he can relate to the struggle -- the porter gave him a very specific healing power too. ]

If Matches ever gets something I'll come to you. Well, if I get her back.

[h2no]

Did I not put this online too? Fuck. Goddamnit, these devices are too confusing!

[no you're just middle aged and can't into tech]

Matches?

[acclimatized]

Why would they say that?

[h2no]

If I had ta guess, it's because I'm not medically trained in any way.

...

Actually, nah, I can do CPR and all that. Just not veterinarian trained.

[sleight_of_hand]

Maybe you should listen to the actual vets.

At least they're not the only ones calling you a disgrace.

[ Hi Archie. ]

Re: [Video]

[h2no]

How's your boyfriend?

[STRAIGHT IN BITCH]

[ret2go]

Awww, that's great, Archie!

You're so good with animals.

[h2no]

Ya say that, but all trainers gotta be, really. If ya ain't there you're gonna get bit.

[to emphasize this, he plaps sharpedo's snout a few times. it snaps at him, but not hard enough to actually grab his hand or hurt him.]

[marriedmedium]

Well done, darling! You don't need the approval of those silly veterinarians. You can be a rogue healer!

Re: video;

[h2no]

Yeah! I'm gonna heal the shit outta those animals!

[burlyboy]

Did you tell them magic's a kind of science? You could say all this mumbo jumbo that might convince 'em that you're legit.

Re: video

[h2no]

I said a lot of stuff that kinda makes me think I'll be arrested if I go back.

[he's... very passionate.]

[caduceusvalkyrie]

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.

[flowerette]

So what about all of the people who can turn into animals. Would you be able to heal them in that form?

Re: video;

[h2no]

...

...


Ya know, I hadn't thought of that! If they're animals, then I don't see why not, huh? Are ya one of them?

( video )

[drizzle]

[As much as Nike was excited at the thought of knowing someone who can heal Ryukka if he ever finds himself in a bind, she ca't help notice the animals in his general vicinity and floating shark thing.]

Before I react to the whole "being able to heal animals but no one wants to hire me because they may be jealous of my natural skills in helping them more efficiently" part of the conversation, I'm more interested in the thing you're holding onto.

[Also!]

Um, where's PP-kun, by the way?

[She doesn't see Muk any where!]

Re: ( video )

[h2no]

This here is Sharpedo! He's a native to Hoenn.

[he laughs, still delighted that she remembers muk.]

Muk's hangin' out under the docks, absorbin' some pollutants from the boats. I'll let 'im know ya said hi!
