Good evening, how polite. That’s fun. Nice to meet you. We could meet up for breakfast in the morning. And the answer to your question depends- are you trying to serve me?

Thank you, I find polite to be a good way to be. I wouldn’t want to be disrespectful, I mean. Breakfast sounds wonderful, would you like to grab something from the dining hall, or would you prefer I cook? Either is fine, of course. I...Well, I most certainly wouldn’t say no, should you require service Miss.

Melody smiled at the woman and nodded at her words. “ If you have to focus on one thing- the mobility is the priorty .” She said with a nod.  Her face fell when she talked about the finances.  “ Have the Dalton’s contact my parents, they’ve been encouraging me to get a service dog since high school. I just didn’t want to draw more attention to myself.  The cost of a service dog is nothing to us. “  She nodded. “ My dms are wide open.  Have you had to get a service dog for someone before?” She asked with a tilt of her head.

Making a note, Frannie nodded. “I’ll do my best to find one already cross-trained. If nothing else I can focus on mobility, and see about setting up cross-training with one of my contacts in the field. We’ll work something out, regardless.” Capping her pen, Frannie placed her notebook on the table beside her. “It really isn’t an issue, I didn’t mean that at all.” She corrected, her eyebrows furrowing. “We can get it taken care of. All of your needs as a resident are covered by the program. It’s really no problem, nothing for you to concern yourself with.” Smiling, Frannie nodded. “Great! Just keep an eye out. I haven’t had to get one before, no, I must admit I’m a novice when it comes to this side of the process. However, the clinic I previously worked for had a contract with a Service Animal group. I performed all of the vetting on the dogs, so I have contacts and am slightly familiar with it.” Leaning back against the table, Frannie shifted her weight a bit. “With that all taken care of, were you interested in looking at any of the other pets?”

drbellerose​:

Well, this is it and here I am. Lucky for me, there was an open position for a doctor and I just finished my courses and earned the title. Dr. Saber Bellerose, at your service. Hopefully I’m not too old to have missed the cool window, so that someone feels the need to give me a tour.

Good evening, Doctor. I’m...Also Doctor, just on the other end of the species spectrum. But, my name is Frannie Fabray, I’m a submissive staff member here at Dalton. I don’t believe you’ve missed any window at all, certainly. I’d be more than happy to give yth a tour, Miss. Do you prefer Miss or Doctor? 

[docfranniefabray]

melodysugardupont​:

Melody smiled at the woman. “ Nice to meet you Doctor. I’m Melody Dupont, just arrived yesterday. “ She fidgeted with her bracelet and grinned. “ I’ve got mobility issues that I’m looking to have them help with, so a larger breed and I’m hard of hearing so some tasks with that.  I’m not picky about breed. ”  She pointed to the wheelchair in the corner. “ That’s mine.”  

Nodding, Frannie continued listening to what Melody needed, making mental notes of each requirement as it came. “Okay, so, it sounds like we’ll need to put some feelers out to find a Service Dog cross-trained for hearing and mobility. Not impossible, we’ll just need to widen the search area a bit.” Turning, Frannie bent slightly to retrieve a notebook and pen from her bag, which was sitting on a nearby chair behind the ‘Welcome’ table. Turning to a blank page, she began jotting down notes. “Alright! Well, I’ll need a little bit of time to get where we’re going, but I’ve got several contacts I can reach out to, to see if anyone might know of anything available, or if anyone is able to point me in the right direction, at the very least.” Taking in a breath, Frannie began prioritizing things in her mind, shifting her mental schedule slightly to include a few more phone calls to start. “I’ll speak with the Daltons about the financial side of things- Service Animals are unfortunately expensive, but I’m sure they have a fund of some sort, and that it’ll be tax-deductible. So, I’ll reach out and update you regarding the situation here in a couple of days, as soon as I know something.”

IAGO ✉ FRANNIE

Iago: How fast do news travel among you staff-people? :P Guess what, I got myself a counselor.

Iago: Also, I know you're probably 789% busy with the Pet Fair. I'm coming to save you with coffee. Same order as always?

Frannie: Normally fairly quickly but, I've been so busy I haven't been in the loop. Congratulations, Iago. That's a great step, I'm proud of you.

Frannie: Oh, bless you. Of course, you know me well!

Melody headed to the conference room.  The walk last night had made her admit that she could use extra help with the walking thing. She rolled her chair through the door and parked it in the corner.  “ Hi! I’m looking for a dog that would be a good service dog?”  She asked the person standing by the dogs. 

Turning, Frannie put on a smile as she listened to the request. “Hi! I’m Doctor Frannie Fabray, I run the Animal Therapy Center here, and I’m also the on-staff Veterinarian. I’m glad you came down to check out the Pet Fair!” Bringing a hand up, she tucked a few stray hairs behind her ear. “Well, Service Dogs are just a little different than the dogs we have here for the Fair, but that doesn’t mean I can’t help you get one. What type of Service Dog are you looking for?”

BLAINE ✉ FRANNIE

Blaine: I have been, yes. And when I'm not doing those, I'm in the choir room, or helping as many people as I can. Just whatever I can do to try and keep my mind occupied, but... it just keeps happening. And then I get nervous I'm annoying people so I don't reach out and then it just gets worse...

Frannie: Good, good. I just wanted to make sure. So, it seems to me at this point what we may be seeing goes beyond coping mechanisms; we may be crossing into avoidance territory. So, I want you to work on dialing it back just a little, and focusing on some self-care techniques. If you aren't already, I want you to start journaling. I want you to make sure that in this journal, you give yourself permission to be as open and honest as possible. Explore what you're feeling, even when it's hard. I want to see if you can start to break into some of what's causing these attacks, and begin getting into the meat of this thing.

Frannie: So, you're saying you get worried you're annoying people when you reach out. Why do you feel that way? Has anyone indicated that you are annoying them?

[docfranniefabray]

BLAINE ✉ FRANNIE

Blaine: Everything is... okay. I've just had a higher level of anxiety recently than previous weeks, and I can't figure out why. It just seems to come out of nowhere, where one minute I'm fine and the next I can't breathe.

Frannie: I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling, Blaine. It definitely sounds like we have some additional things to work on, which is no trouble whatsoever. We'll meet as many times as you need, to get to the bottom of this. Tell me, did you try doing any additional exercises or physical tasks like we discussed?

[docfranniefabray]

BLAINE ✉ FRANNIE

Blaine: Hey, Dr. Frannie. I was wondering if I could come in and talk to you about potentially upping the number of times I see you in a week?

Frannie: Good morning Blaine! Of course you can, whenever you'd like to come just let me know! Is everything alright?

aaronmosersanchez​:

PM: Hi! I’m Aaron. If no one else, I haven’t unpacked yet, and you’re welcome to come help if you want. No, I’m not a Dominant or a Switch. I’m just lazy, but I do know how to give good aftercare? And I’m definitely not opposed to being titled.

PM: Hello, Aaron. It’s nice to meet you. I’d be happy to assist with that, certainly. I am making and serving dinner for another individual, but afterwards I can head straight to you. I appreciate you offering, it does help, either way. I’m sure you understand. I’ll look forward to seeing you, and...Thank you, again. 

[docfranniefabray]

sebastiensmythe​:

PM: I could use some help preparing for a date tonight, if you’re still free. Sebastian Smythe, soon-to-be-retested Switch. How are you with cooking and serving dinner?

PM: I am, yes, absolutely. I’d be more than happy to take care of both of those for you, Sir. Is there anything specific you’d like me to cook? I appreciate the opportunity, genuinely.

simonlebeau​:

PM: Hey Doc, I gotta check with my roommate first but I was wondering if there were any dogs available that were already trained or maybe like assistance dogs? Do you know what I mean? I feel like a dog would help with my anxiety but not if I had to do the training and disciplining side of things, it gives me anxiety just thinking about it. It maybe makes me sound like I wouldn’t be a good owner but it’s just really outside my comfort zone doing the training thing, we had a dog growing up and, idk, I just wasn’t able to be consistent enough for her to be well-trained and I wouldn’t want to have a dog that didn’t listen which would stress everyone out, you know? It’s a long story, I guess, but I would take really good care of it, I just can’t… train it.

PM: Good morning, Simon. No need to worry, I do understand what you’re saying. There isn’t any shame in knowing what you can or cannot handle. It’s important to be honest with yourself about these things, both for your safety and your pet’s. What I might recommend, if you’re uncomfortable with training is an older dog. With younger pets and puppies, you’ll likely have to work on training. Often times, though, older and senior dogs are already trained- potty trained at the very least. If bad comes to worst, I’d be happy to work with you one-on-one to go over some training techniques, and to help teach your new pet appropriate behaviors. A lot of what you’re looking to avoid will come down to breed, too. It’s important to research breeds to determine what breed will best fit your own lifestyle and personality. For example, you discussed being concerned about misbehavior. In that case, I don’t know that I’d recommend the more stubborn breeds, like Huskies, Pits, or Terriers. Just a few things to think about on your journey! But, I am positive we’ll be able to find the perfect companion for you!

[docfranniefabray]

melodysugardupont​:

Well I came at the perfect time. I’ll  pop in sometime tomorrow!  Is there a limit on how many we can adopt? Not talking cat lady levels, but a dog and a cat?

Good morning. There are limits, however the limit is two. So, a dog and a cat would be fine, as long as you’re committed to making sure they’re well cared for and maintained!

[docfranniefabray]

QUINN ✉ FRANNIE

Q: Why would anyone give her back to me? I gave her up and now I'm here.

Frannie: There are ways, Quinn, if it's what you want. First and foremost the fact that you were bullied into surrendering her. We can put a positive spin on things- you're here to learn all you can to be a better Mom. To get all the help you can to be successful. Especially if you'd start actually participating in things, and doing more than flipping the world the bird. I have connections, as I'm sure the Daltons do as well. There are people here to help you, Quinn, if this is what you want. But, only you can make that commitment. That decision. The fact that the baby's father is here, too, adds to our odds. He has a place, a steady job, degrees...The courts will like that. They may even be comfortable giving her to him until you're able to get to where you need to be. Of course that would require actually /telling/ him, but...If you're walking around here with a baby my guess is he's going to be at least a little curious, anyway.

[docfranniefabray]

QUINN ✉ FRANNIE

Q: There's nothing to fix. She's gone. She's not mine anymore.

Frannie: There is. If you had her right before you came here, she'd barely be a month old. Maybe...Maybe she hasn't been adopted yet. Maybe we can...Get her back.

[docfranniefabray]

QUINN ✉ FRANNIE

Q: ...No.

Frannie: /Quinn/...

Frannie: So, we fix this. We can fix this. It's fixable. I'm here. I'll help you.

[docfranniefabray]

QUINN ✉ FRANNIE

Q: Russel. Fabray. He hid it as quickly as he hid that tattooed girl he's cheating on Judy with.

Q: No, he doesn't know. I gave her up for adoption.

Frannie: Oh gosh darn that man. I...Quinn.

Frannie: Is that what you wanted, little sister?
