004 | Video (Backdated to 11:05pm Tuesday June 5th)

[ Starr kicks off the video in Chilton's office, sitting at his desk. Chilton's nameplate has been replaced with another one reading: Dr. Herr K. Starr ]

It seems Doctor Chilton has ported out. So until further notice, I will be taking over the Maurtia Falls Psychiatric Hospital for Abnormal Conditions. Staff is to immediately report to me for evaluation and policy updates.

For the time being, we will not be accepting patients unless in the most dire of circumstances -- in which case, I will be able to implement shock therapy. In my humble opinion, such therapy does work best when placed upon ones genitals, but I will leave that up to the patient.

[ He pulls out a notepad, puts on Chilton's reading glasses, and picks up an entirely too fancy pen. ]

Now simply because we will not immediately be taking patients does not mean we cannot get you in the system. So let's start this with the basic question most psychiatrists are sure to ask: what is your deepest, darkest sexual fantasy?

Then that in and of itself is an answer. Why would you not feel comfortable sharing that sort of information? Is it shame? Is it guilt? Is it fear of being embarrassed? I assure you that I will never judge anyone for their kinks.

I once ran for the position of ambassador, and it was part of my campaign promise. Never will I kinkshame anyone, no matter how depraved.

[ It should be no surprise, then, that Starr did not win the election. ]

You're also just assuming everyone has some deep, dark, sexual fantasy. That doesn't say a lot of your opinion of others.

...Kink-shame?

[The the fuck?]

How does that- does something like that actually matter in the politics here?

I thought it would. Apparently, imPorts drive to have a mother figure at the helm won out in the end. I do not recommend going to Nonah. It is a boring place with a boring woman serving as their ambassador.

[ Probably an ideal place for most. But Starr's just bitter. ]

You're blaming... your failure to become ambassador on a city wide oedipus complex?

Yes. I am.

It seems you have a good grasp on concepts in psychiatry. Are you interested in a job?

[What.]

A job doing what...?

[He.. actually NEEDs new job, but...]

My personal assistant. You would aid me in giving psychiatric treatment. How good are you at fetching coffee?

[. . .]

Thank you, sir, but I'm not interested.

[You can blame your desire to electroshocking genitals.]

Your loss. What we are doing here will be revolutionary.

I'm not exactly sure what you're doing there to start with.

[ Spoken as though it's the most obvious thing: ]

Saving the world.

That tells me nothing.

That should tell you everything!

But it doesn't though, you might as well not have answered me at all.

Do not blame me for your lack of understanding. Perhaps if you do not see the larger picture, you need to start thinking creatively.

Creatively? Or abstractly... That's a really broad word. Medical professionals aren't really known to speak 'broadly'. Are you sure you have the right experience to be doing this job?

I am only the substitute psychiatrist until Dr. Chilton returns. No doubt he will return.

[ Starr refuses to believe the man is gone. Which is probably why he's acting out because Chilton is almost entertaining when he's pissed. ]

The didn't answer my question...

Do people come back that often?

Yes. For as many who disappear permanently, there are just as many who will only vanish briefly and return after a day or two. Usually it's to live out a bit longer in their world or to have their powers modified in some way. But some have been known to disappear simply because.

Is it still them, or another version of them?

Most of the time it's still them. Sometimes it will be another version of them -- lacking their memories. But for the large part, if you see someone return, chances are they will recall their stay in this world.

...right. I won't be seeing some other not so similar version of me running around will I? I guess I'd just feel sorry for him. [He cracked a dark joke though wouldn't add a laugh to follow.]

Two versions of one person cannot exist in this world at the same time. The porter has some sense of coherency in that way.

Although there have been instances where imPorts have been cloned. So you may experience something to that end.

...Cloned?

Can you explain that to me, please.

[Mr. Vague, please don't be vague about this one. Uh- CLONED?]
