Bored.

I'm trapped against my will in the Medbay and it's so excruciatingly dull that the only thing I'm able to do right now to entertain myself is reflect on the fact that there are talking ponies on this ship that are capable of grasping objects when they're not in possession of opposable thumbs.

Someone say something that isn't tedious.

you're new. you're not allowed to be bored yet.

[on_your_nerves]

How long do I have to wait until I receive boredom tenure?

[whyarewehere]

give it like a month or something. i mean dude you just got here, you can't possibly be sick of the sensorium yet.

[monster_san]

Would you like me to bring you some books from the Media Library? There's an excellent selection.

[on_your_nerves]

How is the section on criminology and forensics?

[monster_san]

I'm afraid I don't do much reading in those subjects, but I'll look.

[magnetlips]

There's only so many times you can play tetris until it gets boring.

How long are you stuck there?

[on_your_nerves]

If it isn't just a day, I'm punching John in the kidney and escaping through one of the ship's nostrils.

[nerves_of_steel]

You can try.

[magnetlips]

That's what I thought about half a week in. You get over it.

"Something that isn't tedious".

...admittedly, that would work better in person rather than via text.

[on_your_nerves]

I prefer to text.

[atadiscoverer]

Now that depends on what you don't find tedious

[on_your_nerves]

Not very much.

[thedraddest]

Just get the frell out of there then. No dredgenaut's gonna make ya stay are they?

[on_your_nerves]

I currently have two doctors hovering around me like Hippocratic vultures trying to make sure I don't escape.

You can leave the Medbay when I'm convinced you can walk without falling over and smashing your head against the next bed. Or something else possibly sharp and pointy that would do more than give you a concussion.

Which, by the way, I am perfectly willing to allow you to heal from normally, provided it isn't actually a risk to your life to do so.

[on_your_nerves]

Stop being a competent doctor. I want to leave.

[monster_san]

I'm sorry to interject, Dr. Hussein, but is it medically advisable for a man with thirteen stab wounds to have a cup of tea?

"Even there, in the mines, underground, I may find a human heart in another convict and murderer by my side, and I may make friends with him, for even there one may live and love and suffer. One may thaw and revive a frozen heart in that convict, one may wait upon him for years, and at last bring up from the dark depths a lofty soul, a feeling, suffering creature; one may bring forth an angel, create a hero! There are so many of them, hundreds of them, and we are to blame for them."

[on_your_nerves]

That's rubbish. What's it from?

[night_shift]

I'll bring you something to read.

[on_your_nerves]

Someone else is already bringing me reading.

That said, if you intend to visit me during my time of sequestration, I would be interested in discussing the Security Department's organization and procedures.

[drakewayne]

Can't say I'm a fan of medbay myself. [Not that he expects anyone really is.]

And SH stands for?

[on_your_nerves]

Sherlock Holmes.
