Anyone have pliers?
damien—stark:
Nah, not really, but so far you never fail to surprise me in some way, so I’m not prepared to put much by you prematurely.
Surprise often catches people off guard. I enjoy that fact about the manner in which I speak..
It's Funny
damien—stark:
Aren’t you extra creepy today, Dr. Stark.
Prepare for what?
I am the same as I am always, Jade -- labeled as creepy by the masses. As for preparation, I am referring to the panic that will soon occur as the storm gets worse.
It's Funny
How the lights decide to go out on a secluded island with a storm that is supposed to be the worse to hit London in years. It sounds like the ideal set up for a horror movie. I wonder if I shall start preparing. -For what he does not say, but he wouldn't mind wheeling out a few useless bodies from inside the corridors-

damien—stark:
You have no idea how relieved I am you didn’t make that ‘ass out of you and me’ comment just there. I swear, everytime someone says that I’m driven with the urge to punch them in the face. Is that just me?
Do I look the type to partake in cliches, Doctor? But no, the desire to punch people in the face is not uncommon especially when they utter something that is long since played out.

[Wes almost laughs, peering at him curiously] I’m surprised you even know the theme song. Are you sure you weren’t once one of the ghouls trapped in the little back packs? [He rolls his eyes at the description.] Oh my God the nineties.Â
Just because my interests may seem to be lacking doesn't mean I don't know what exists, or has existed in mainstream media or pop culture. You're assuming, Doctor. -He pauses, a small trace of a smirk harboring the corners of his lips- However, I can say with certainty that I was not one of the ghouls trapped in those packs. It would be an insult to me personally if I was.

damien—stark:
[He smirks] It does, doesn’t it. Well, I’m a better cook than a ghost buster, I’ll be honest.
I'd sing the theme song, but that would be entirely out of character for me to do so. Not to mention it's awfully chipper.

damien—stark:
Fuck, I don’t know. Sugar? Salt? Whatever the TV shows are doing these days.Â
Sounds like you're referring to the culinary channel versus exorcising a ghost or demon.
damien—stark:
Oh, well that’s good news. I suppose there comes a point in every patient’s progress where it’s easier for them to continue recovery in the real world so they can be more appropriately reintegrated with society. Makes you wonder about the poor patients trapped here— it can’t be easy being here 24/7.
I'm sure it's not, but there's nothing we can do. Until progress has been made and they're able, or at least we assume they are, to handle the real world, they remain here.
damien—stark:
Only soothing them? Not removing them entirely?
The majority of them left with time. The others became quieter, easier for the patient to manage that he could be admitted back into the real world.
damien—stark:
And this patient that you helped in just a matter of months, what was his or her trigger?
The voices in their head. It was just a matter of soothing them in order to bring out the fragile soul underneath.
damien—stark:
Quite, quite. I wasn’t meaning to question your methods. You’re of the guidance school of thought, then? And by that I mean you believe a patient’s recovery is led by the therapist and their methods, rather than the patient themselves?
It varies by the patient. Some are unable to help themselves without a trigger.
damien—stark:
I can’t tell if you’re a pessimist or a realist, but either way I can’t help but think your patients must find therapy more challenging with you than with any other therapist here.Â
To be quite frank with you, I've got a patient released from this institution in under a few months. My therapy is effective, challenging perhaps, but it helps who I take under my care.
damien—stark:
I never really understood the whole ‘you only care because they pay you to care’ mentality that a lot of patients assume. The money is only incidental really— I can’t imagine many wanting to go through so many years of schooling just for money, when there’s much easier degrees that can earn much more money. I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t genuinely care— well, I suppose there’s a part of me that did it to please my parents, but I do genuinely enjoy it regardless.
I think it's more of a stereotype that has shaped our modern world. Everything is about money, power, or sex. The patients we have here are not unwise in which they disregard it, but instead attribute it to us for they believe they do not need our help or the latter, that we are only here to serve them because of our paycheck at the end of the week.
damien—stark:
Yes, I’ve only really met a few patients but they certainly do seem challenging, don’t they? Mostly because they appear to actually just resent therapists, not because they have insurmountable problems.
Many of the patients tend to think that we're picking and probing their mind for answers. In a sense, I guess I can't disagree for we are trained and paid to explore the mind. Just how it's done varies with the case given.
damien—stark:
Well, I suppose I ought to be sucking up to you in order to learn the ropes a bit better. How do you find the work here?
As appealing as the idea is, sucking up is unnecessary. You'll learn the ropes sooner than you expect. The work is exactly what I enjoy: a challenge. -And a dosage of manipulation, he finishes in his head-
Anyone have pliers?
damien—stark:
How literal of you. [He rolls his eyes slightly and grumbles into his coffee.] Well, I sure hope it’s not paranormal because they’ll be considerably harder to threaten with death—not impossible, but harder.
Assuming you muster up some plan to kill the paranormal, how would you do it?

damien—stark:
Do you hear yourself when you talk, rat boy?
Considering I'm able to respond to your conversation, I'm going to go with the answer of yes.
