I need y'all to realize you can always punch your parents back

Changed my life

(for better)(trust...)

... So should we seat up an appointment some time next week?

They're dead anyway

Ah, I see. That must be rather hard for you.

Not really

Hm, I take it you were not terribly close with your family then?

Mno they hated me but that's. Like okay ykwim

Your parents hated you? I am so very sorry to hear that.

Was it always that way? Did something happen to cause such a thing? Not that there could be much to justify such a thing.

Yeaah i was supposed to get aborted i think

Most people would not handle such a thing so stoickly.

I am terribly sorry that you feel the need to hold yourself so tall while you speak on this.

My cortisol just low like dat

That is indeed concerning. I would advise medicating that but I will not bother you with that.

Instead, what of the rest of your family? Was there no one to look out for you?

Low cortisol is good thing i'm just chill

I have like

An aunt or something i guess

Idk where tho

#dispatch roleplay #dispatch rp blog #dispatch rp

*She scribbles something down in her notebook.*

I seeee- have you considered reaching out to this aunt at all? Was she aware of the nature of your relationship with your parents?

Nooo don't go on therapy haha you're so sexy

Tell that to the SDN. I tried

Good evening, Mr. Veil. I have been informed that you seem to have some manner of distaste for my profession or at the very least my aid?

Is there anything I might be about to do to trouble you less, my dear?

ARE WE DEADASS

I am afraid I do not know what this means but is there something I can do to make you more comfortable, my friend?

LEAVE???

Are you certain? I would much rather work with you on your issues but if you would rather not, then I will have no choice but to contact Blond Blazer in regards to your non-compliance.

LEAVE ME ALONEEEUH

Do you often used these strange images in an attempt to put up walls between yourself and those attempting to communicate with you?

#dispatch roleplay #dispatch rp blog

I am inclined to take that as a "yes."

You however do seem quite unwilling to participate at this time. Would you perhaps prefer that I return to you at a later date?

My door is of course always open, should you be in need.

Good Morning everyone and Happy March!

I would be remiss if I did not mention that St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. The annual Chocolate Coin Hunt has officially begun. I would like to remind everyone that conscious power usage is banned in the name of fairness. Remember, if you can find the most coins before the end of the month, and present them to my office for verification, you will win the rest of the pot!

I would also like to remind everyone that alcohol is banned on premise during work hours. While we do not mind what you get up to on your down time, we should all keep in mind that SDN does require a certain level of PR while on the job, and that our actions reflect upon the company.

On that note, Corned Beef and Cabbage is also banned on premise. We do not want to blow up another break-room microwave. Please keep your leftovers at home. No one wants a repeat of the Fish Incident of '22.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind all personnel that our mandatory Mental Health Evaluations are due at the end of this month. SDN has multiple therapists on-site or covered under our offered insurance provider, so please be sure to double check their accepted insurance lists. Once you have completed your mandatory checks and tests, please report to your supervisor with the paperwork and we will have it filed shortly. I, personally, have received good endorsements from my own team towards Dr. Levitica Amato @sdn-therapy. I sincerely urge anyone that is struggling to reach out, as our hands are always outstretched to catch you when you stumble. Remember, we here at SDN care about our employees and their continued mental and emotional stability.

A hearty congratulations to our own resident Tech Specialist Ruby Pardini, and her counterpart Terry Johnson @sdn-techsupport for their combined efforts in bringing the SDN Torrence Office out of the 70's and into the 21st century. The system update was completed as of 11:00 pm PST Feburary 27th, and any bugs or glitches encountered should be forwarded to one or the other for correction. I would recommend Ruby for now, as Terry is currently sleeping off the tech hangover. I understand that it will be a bit of a learning curve for those who are used to the old operating system, but with cooperation and a steady review of the new protocols we should be able to smooth this over with minimal issues and frustration.

In other news, I would like to announce that the Angeles National Forest has begun offering unicorn hunting tags for any population control and hobbyist hunters that are interested. The herd has gotten out of control lately, and it has become increasingly dangerous for tourists to travel through the park. Anyone who is interested should drop by my office after shift end to pick up a pamphlet on the laws and ethics of controlled hunting and another on the laws and ethics of Power Hunting.

Have a happy March, and don't forget to wear green on the 17th!

Director Helena Barrett

I am more than flattered to be regarded so highly.

Though I must state that the encouragement of the hunting of my kin is deeply distasteful. As is the celebration of the "saint" that sought the eradication of the pagan folk in Ireland.

I am of course aware that my feelings on the matter are irrelevant, I must simply let it be known that I shall be abstaining in the holiday festivities.

Normally, I would not be advocating for this either Dr. Amato, but we have already tested this herd for both sentience and sapience and nearly lost a team of scientists and a ranger patrol in the process. They are NOT anywhere close to intelligent, and, in fact, they are significantly different from your kin. We have been in contact with other herds and outside researchers about the issue, and even they were horrified about the results.

Expanding upon that, these are absolutely not natural or supernatural in any way. They are a horrifying, hybridized, lab-created species that was released back by a mad scientist in '05 during his arrest. They are a mix of the Mohave Desert Unicorn, which is known as a blood drinker, and the highly aggressive Southern Rocky Mountain Unicorn, which regularly competes with moose and bears for food and territory. They are essentially brain-dead by your species' standards, and yes, we did get a conformation of that status from a Lady Alethia over in Scotland.

Normally, the section of forest they were released into is coordained off to protect the unicorns, locals, and tourists, but recently they broke containment and attacked several public campsites. Several people were hospitalized, some with critical injuries, and we're lucky no one has died.

We can't move them somewhere else, because they'll outcompete and drive out the local herds within a year like they did here. We've tried systematic sterilization of the stallions, but they're just smart enough to avoid the tracking patrols. This is the very last resort since they've shown an active interest in hunting humanoids, and we cannot allow them to get a taste for human blood or used to human interaction.

I see, yes, I do suppose this changes things. It was admirable that there was at all an attempt to relocate the hybrid unicorns but it is undeniable that such a crossbreed would have no place in this habitat.

Thank you for explaining it. It does heart my heart but I shall speak no more on this matter. I will simply light a candle for them and keep them in my prays instead.

This does not, however, change my stance on the "holy" Saint Patric. I spit on that man and the wretched traditions left in his wake.

Oh, I agree with you 100% on the subject of Patrick. He was a bastard in life, and was directly responsible for the total death of one of my kids through the annihilation of her Druidic following. So instead I spend the day making a mockery of everything he ever left behind.

Here’s to being relics of the old world, may we outlive the bastards that tried to kill us.

#dispatch rp blog #dispatch rp #dispatch roleplay #Helena is going to go drown the memories of her daughter in the good whiskey #<-{You have officially become Levitica new favorite person}#{Do not resist}

You and yours were among the Druids of old Ireland? This it is an honor to know you, Madam Director.

On the eve of wretches demise, let us drink deep and dance beneath the night skies. The moon shall still be new, so I will bring the candles and incense. We shall trust the stars to be our guides and allow the merriment of the old gods to keep us warm.

( @sdn-research-and-development )

Takes a deep breath in and lets it out slowly.

I can't believe I'm actually about to do this.

Dr. Galloway raps on the door.

Good morning Dr. Amato, do you have a minute?

-Dr. Aiden Galloway

{Levitica's ears perk up and she removes her glasses before looking to calling out in return.}

Ah, Dr. Galloway, it is indeed a very pleasant morning. Yes I have a great deal of time, if time is in fact something you might desire.

Is there something I can assist you with?

Director Barrett is insisting we get our yearly Mental Health Assessments done sooner rather than later, especially with what’s been happening lately.

And I….

Dr. Galloway hesitates a bit.

I will admit that I haven’t been sleeping well lately. The Red Ring situation is hitting a bit too close to home for comfort.

I see. Well then, by all means, do come in.

There are a few things I feel it appropriate to share with my clients before we being. My powers can make it difficult, though not impossible, to preform acts of aggression or engage in deception while withing my presence. I know that this is distasteful to some so do let me know if you are uncomfortable with continuing.

Good to know. I actually believe most of my colleagues would prefer that kind of buffer when it comes to a therapist. Many of us suffer from some form of PTSD or CPTSD and, coupling that with the more… volatile powers that many of us have, it would be a great comfort that we wouldn’t accidentally hurt someone in the resulting episode.

I suppose that’s why I volunteered to go first, despite the…. challenges of my own powers. Director Barrett wasn’t a good choice given her eldritch nature being a hard counter to mental manipulation. Surprisingly, for a mimetically hazardous entity, she is probably the most stable of us.

Would you mind if I briefed the other scientists of R&D about your powers? Many of them would appreciate the forewarning.

You are entirely welcome to share this information with your colleagues if you believe it would put their minds at ease.

{She gestured them to a glowing spear leaning against her chair.}

I would also advise them about the spear as well. It is not of my own power but it will attack should any attempt any manner of physical assault against me. So it is equally wise to for others to know of this.

But do feel free to take a seat, if you are so inclined.

Thank you, and I will absolutely pass along the warning about the spear, even though most of us are rather disinclined towards violence.

I suppose, I should start from the beginning then?

(Aiden takes a seat, still looking a bit nervous)

I’ve been having nightmares about the incident that gave me my powers, and what I did to survive the aftermath. That time is not…

(Aiden takes a breath and blows it out slowly)

It’s not something I enjoy remembering.

{Levitica pulled out a pen and a note pad before scribbling something down as he spoke.}

I see. I am terribly sorry to hear this Dr. Galloway.

Apologies if you would rather not broach this topic at this time, but may I ask for details of these dreams? I am aware that speaking on past traumas might open old wounds in even the hardest of souls. So if this is not something you are willing to speak on, we can naturally change the topic.

It is entirely up to your own digression.

(Aiden takes a shaky breath, but gathers up his courage anyway)

The dream always starts the same way. I am in my lab, and my lab partner is supposedly working somewhere close by. My back is to him, and I'm focused on a microscope in front of me. I trust him, because we've worked together for years. I've always thought he was a bit intense, but he's never given me a reason not to put my back to him.

I don't see him coming, but I feel the needle when it hits my neck.

I wake up in one of the control rooms, feeling like my body is trying to tear itself apart. I look down, and see that oh, it actually IS tearing itself apart, because my scales are ripping through my skin. It's an uncontrollable change, and I am right in the middle of every good scientist's worst nightmare.

Then my 'colleague's voice comes on over the speakers. I can't understand what he's saying, but it makes me angry. I blink, and suddenly I'm through the observation window, and my claws are in his throat. Then, I blink again, and I'm out into the jungle and I can taste blood.

And then I hear the roar in the background, too deep and too resonant to be anything even close to modern nature, and I hear the klaxon alarms. My ex-colleague has kicked off a system-wide meltdown, and all of the dinosaurs are loose.

That's about the time I wake up in a blind panic.

#dispatch rp #dispatch rp blog #dispatch oc #dispatch roleplay #(Aiden is breathing a bit heavily #but obviously trying his best to keep it under control #he doesn't want to trigger a panic attack right now)#<-{Luvie will step in if they have to. Though they would rather it not get to that point}

{Levitica eyes them with concern, noting their heavy breathing but not yet putting their pen and note pad down just yet.}

Your own colleague betrayed you? I can understand why you would have nightmares then. That sounds truly terrible.

But it is good that you chose to seek professional help. It might surprise you how much speaking about these things truly can help people.

Now, if I may ask, did you ever see this colleague again? Were you ever able to receive answers for why he would do such a thing? While knowing why might not fix what befell you, on occasion knowing and understanding can provide small level of closure for some.
