Comments

... Before, you asked me what it was that I thought I was the best at. After thinking about it, I would have said that it would be what I do as a therapist. After all, being able to read people and predict a favorable outcome in the course of one's sessions is a beneficial skill to develop in this line of work.

[... Well. Beneficial for him, anyway.]

[transmittable]

that's a good self-analysis. maybe it's good we didn't win, then. asking you to put your people reading skills to work on us seems like it could have backfired.

is your work as a therapist helping you so far? in this place.

[doctorize]

I would say that it's been useful, yes. Perhaps even more so than it did before I found myself here.

[transmittable]

does that mean you didn't find your work rewarding there?

[doctorize]

[It's almost a shame that this is text, otherwise you would hear him laugh right now... or maybe you did anyway if you're able to see into people's rooms here.]

I was doing consultations for prison inmates back home. And while they all certainly have reasons for why they ended up behind bars and how it's affected the way they look at the world... well, their peepers are not as interesting as those belonging to the people I've met here.

[This has been a new and exciting experience for him to observe here, for the time being...]

[transmittable]

what about the service you were doing for them? isn't that what being a therapist is all about?

or did you have another reason for choosing this line of work?

[doctorize]

Hmm. I wonder about that...

... but, would you mind telling me something about yourself in exchange? It feels a bit one-sided if I'm the only one talking about themselves here.

[transmittable]

what a broad question. ask us something and we'll see if we can answer.

[doctorize]

Hmm, let's see... your profile says that you like games, correct? Do you just like games in general, or a specific type of game?

[transmittable]

all sorts. we can only play simple games here, though. word games, memory games, unfortunately no video games.

[doctorize]

Really? I'm surprised to hear that. Are you not the one that placed the portable game system and "Pagan Dance" into the vending machine?

[transmittable]

it's got those kinds of things? wow. no, i didn't really look through it intently? that thing's it's own mystery.

and there's windows xp games, but i don't think they count as TRADITIONAL video games.

[doctorize]

[He almost makes a comment here about the vibrators, but at the last moment, he changes his mind.]

I don't see why they wouldn't count... though, I must admit, I've never played a video game before so perhaps I'm not the best person to ask about them.

[transmittable]

never? whoa, man, you been living under a rock?

or, waaaait. what year was it for you, again?

[doctorize]

It's not so much living under a rock such as being busy with work, I'm afraid.

[Prison therapist, remember?]

[transmittable]

you don't get any time off? i know, pot calling the kettle black but still. bummer.

[doctorize]

Not as of late, sadly. A few cases involving some of my patients has stolen most of my attention, or at least it did before I found myself here.

[And thank god for that honestly, he kind of hated those inmates.]

[transmittable]

they weren't worthwhile or rewarding either, though?

[doctorize]

No. Thanks to one of the prison wardens, all of my patients have behaved the exact same and have made it difficult to find something particularly worthwhile about them in our therapy sessions.

[transmittable]

so you think they're all lost causes?

if my questions are leading, feel free to stop me.

[doctorize]

It's fine.

[For now...]

But yes, to answer your question, I have reason to believe they are lost causes as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps I should move on to a different set of patients to consult instead?

[transmittable]

you're all patients here.

[doctorize]

As you say. Still, there's no harm in using my skills on the others here, even if they're not my patients per-say, is there?

[transmittable]

that is true. i hope your talents will be used to their benefit. i'm sure they'd appreciate a therapist here.
