OPEN LOG

[wilder]

Date & Time: September 1 - 3, Evening or Night hours
Location: Transport Clinic
Characters: Zelos/Kaneis and you!
Summary: Evening/Night shift at the clinic. All welcomed, whether they be checking out the clinic, working at the clinic or that unfortunate dude who put their weapon in a very wrong spot.
Warnings: PG-13 for language and possible gore since hey IT IS A CLINIC.

[No matter how strange Zelos's life get, he can always count on his clinic shifts being one of two things: incredibly boring or incredibly strange. There was no middle ground.]

[Any night that you come in, you'll probably find Zelos sitting at the reception desk, with his feet on top if none of his bosses are around. If he's not attending to any patients or talking to staff, he seems to be reading- looks like the flavor of this month for literature is fantasy. And sometimes, he even seems to be talking to the book]

Oh come on Buttercup my beautiful flower, there's no way he'll actually release him. Jeez...

[And so on. Rest assured guys, this is a professional medic here. You can tell by the lab coat. ]

[hyanaimne]

Oh, one of those types of stories?

[she rolls her eyes, moving closer to lean against the desk] Of course it won't. Does it ever?

[wilder]

What can I say? I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff in fiction.

Never in my recollection. It'd make for a pretty bummer ending.

[hyanaimne]

It is an entertaining read, is it not? [it wasn't her preferred reading, but she'd read a few in her time. Mostly in her childhood]

I can't but agree, there.

[wilder]

Yep. Sure makes for a nice escape.

[But he'll smile and put down the book]

I don't think we've been formally introduced, I'm Kaneis.

[hyanaimne]

We have not, no. I am Tempest; well met, Kaneis.

[wilder]

Well met, Tempest! Is that a nickname?

[hyanaimne]

[she considers how to answer that, then gives a shrug]

It is a name I took up to replace my real name.

[wilder]

Replace your real name huh?

Is there a story behind that or is it a private reason?

[hyanaimne]

[she frowns a bit, but . . . no one really asked her these questions. She knew she wouldn't give up her real name - it was something just . . . she didn't do it. No one alive knew what it was, save for perhaps two people back home, and even then . . .

She shrugs]

Names are powerful, and many come with meanings behind them. There is magic that can manipulate that, but . . . I did not want anyone to know who I was. I was hunting someone.

[she laughs a bit] Besides, no one will take someone with a name that means "gentle breeze" seriously. "Tempest", on the other hand . . .

[wilder]

[Sorry Tempest, he's just freakishly curious about stuff]

Really? Magic can be manipulated against you because of your name?

And heh, I guess you got a point. If you're gonna be a hunter, gotta have a cool name.

[hyanaimne]

It certainly can. Though the magic itself is a bit rare; only masters of the art can actually handle that energy that sort of spell needs.

[and it was dark magic, which she couldn't touch even if she wanted to. She smiles a bit]

But mm, you need a, ah, "cool" name. It did turn into a bit of a nickname later on after I had made a name for myself.

[wilder]

Wow...yeah, I've sure never heard about that before. What kind of stuff can they do?

Well that's good- I'm sure people think twice about messing with a Tempest!

[hyanaimne]

I sadly do not know details. It is a form of magic I cannot use.

[she grins, just a tiny bit] Those who did ended up learning the hard way why they should not.

[wilder]

Oh...aw well, probably stuff I don't want to know anyway.

[he gives a small chuckle] Really? I'd hate to be one of those people.

[hyanaimne]

[the grin widens, with a touch of devious]

Yes, you would.

[wilder]

[He snickers]

So what brought you to the clinic? Handy with healing magic too?

[hyanaimne]

A few people suggested I do so, and . . . mm, I trained as a healer in my youth. I may as well put that to some use, yes?

[wilder]

Yeah, I guess it's good not to get rusty! It's a handy skill to have.

[hyanaimne]

Mm, something like that. [she gives a shrug]
