[he can’t help but calm down]

Surely this must be a mistake, I… I’m just a college student looking to save up some money s-so I can go home and see my family. This feels like a– a really bad dream…

[sighs] You’ll learn in time. The hard way, it seems, unfortunately.

If you ever need anything though, even if it isn’t medical, I’m here.

Huh–?

[then his eyes widen when he hears the voice in his head, looking around as if for the source only to recognize it as Andrei’s] [he stammers for a moment]

I-I– I don’t understand… Telepathic? P-Prison? I just… [he trails off]

Yes, telepathic means I have cool, fun mind powers. Including such exciting things as this-- [induces a little more calmness bc wow this kid needs it] If you try to escape or break any of the rules, the ringleader will beat the shit out of you within an inch of your life, which is one of many reasons why a skilled doctor such as myself is needed around here.

I really don’t want to see that happen to you, son. {I’m on your side.}

[he calms down a bit, looking more confused than anything now] …This– This really isn’t funny…

Your name is Eduard, right? I’m about to do something a little weird, but don’t panic.

[the sound of a throat clearing enters Eduard’s head, and Andrei’s voice can be heard in there without him even opening his mouth.] {This place is a fucking prison and you’ll be hurt badly if you try to leave. Nobody wants to be here. But I do my best to watch out for everyone.}

Now-- I’m Andrei, the physician here. Also obviously telepathic.

B-B-But–! I’m just supposed to sell popcorn! There’s no need for me to stay, I mean… [he laughs wearily] Oh, you’re– you’re just messing with me, right? I can go back home, right? This is just a summer job, right….?

[just listening to this kid and his thoughts is stressing him out, so he induces a bit of temporary calmness in him] I wish I were only messing around, kid. I’m sorry to say that you got yourself into a hell of a mess.

Wh– What do you mean I can’t leave–??

It means you can’t leave. Your ass is grass.

So you're one of the doctors on the grounds yes?

I am the main physician, yes. We also have a pediatrician. Pleasure to finally meet you, Victoria. I’m Dr. Andrei Mihăileanu.

[pauses] …Don’t be alarmed, I’m probably the only telepathic doctor you’ll ever meet.

{perhaps it’s best to not ask the doctor right off the hop the differences between different blood splatters. Don’t wish to appear like I’m off my trolley}

When people say “Don’t be alarmed” it usually causes some alarm. A pleasure to meet you Dr. ……Andrei. {Smooth might as well say that I’m a bloody idiot and can’t pronounce foreign names without butchering it worse than- wait that man said telepathic…well fuck me sideways}

Forgive me but, did you say telepathic?

Most around here just call me Andrei, though I do appreciate the formality sometimes. Makes me feel like I’m not actually wasting my medical degree being around here.

[he raises an eyebrow at her thoughts, and just speaks quietly in her head for a moment] {Telepathic, yes. A bit shocking, I know.}

[he clears his throat, speaking aloud again] Don’t worry too much about my name. No one around here can really say my surname properly; but I do like when people remember to stress the second syllable on my given name.

Alright, I’m guessing that’s Andrei-speak for “please turn the lights out because they are burning my retinas.”

[Gets up and methodically starts turning off every lamp and light bulb in the tent]

#replies thirty years later #andrei: smoke weed erry day lmao #doctorvolkner

Jesus fuck, thank you so much.

[he lifts his head a bit and massages his closed eyelids] What I wouldn’t give for a joint right now.

Well, you’re right about that. I honestly do not understand jack shit about your freaky mind powers that you use to cheat at rock-paper-scissors with.

[He handed him a glass of water and a strong dosage of Excedrin, kneeling down in front of him.]

Need anything else?

#doctorvolkner #it's like a very weird radio #he can turn it off sometimes but that's a lot of effort #so he has his own tent with no roommate #tentmate?#//shrugs

[he swallows the tablets and downs most of the water in one go] Lights--out.

Get out of my brain and maybe it won’t hurt that badly.

[Rolls eyes and tries to think of something mind-numbing for Andrei’s sake, reaching into the locker full of prescription and OTC medication they kept for safekeeping.]

Are you sure we want aspirin, because I have Excedrin right here too.
