Handsome Jack here! I'm way too busy being awesome to answer the phone, but tell me why you're calling and if you're important enough, your people will hear from my people.

Hello, this is Jill Valentine. First time using the private messaging feature so I'm not quite sure if it tells you who is messaging you.

Anyway, don't know too many people and you seem like a guy in the know. So, to get to my roundabout point, you wouldn't happen to know if there are any good doctors around? Preferably discreet.

Consider it a favor; I always return mine.

Got a guy here in Goldenrod, doesn't ask questions. Kinda sketch, but knows what he's doing. And keeps his mouth shut.

Don't go to the Center or anything. Opposite of discreet. And they keep all kinds of detailed records.

Guess I'll have to move my ass, then. Thanks.

Appreciate it. Sustained some pretty heavy injuries back home. Just got out of the hospital, actually. Unfortunately hard to keep mandatory check-ups when you're tossed around like this.

Got hit by the brunt of a rocket launcher blast, if you're wondering. Was going to say it's nothing weird, but might be weird to some people. Tip of the iceberg, but the rest is fine details that would probably bore someone.

Gotta be honest, I spend most of my time in Goldenrod, so I don't know that much about that kinda stuff for other cities. And if it's just setting a bone or stitching something up, I take care of that myself.

Well that sucks. Doesn't sound weird too me, but I'm the guy with the prosthetic face. Rocket launchers happen.

Seems to be the case for most people. Looking for a second opinion on scarification, as well? Mostly just if I should do anything else. Not sure if you know anything about that.

No shit? Wouldn't have known. Not that it's the kind of thing that would matter to me. People without scars are the strange ones, in my opinion.

[thedifferencebetween]

What, like decorative scarring? No, that's not my thing. Not getting it, anyway. I do know there's a body mod place here, a guy I knew got a bunch of stuff done. There's a good tattoo place, I had some ink done a while back, dunno if they do that, too.

Yeah, it's hard to tell on the tiny screen, but I'm not sporting chunky sideburns and a goatee. That's shit to hold my face on.

[torsion]

Hold your horses, cowboy. I'm talking about a scar that's developing from an injury. Not really my thing and I'm not knocking it, but it's still in the vein of why I messaged you.

Damn. Hope it's not painful? (Sorry, not really sure what to do other than offer condolences and I bet that gets tiring.)

[thedifferencebetween]

Oh. Hey, can't blame me, people do that all the time where I'm from. I've got a salve I make out of diluted Pokemon venom, minimizes the look of scars, if that's what you're going for.

I have a face stapled to my face, there is no world where that's a bag of kittens and rainbows. It's not like I'm looking for sympathy. Just saying I'm no stranger to weird medical needs.

[torsion]

Might be. Can't tell until I give it a go. Just not exactly the most attractive place to have this going on for me.

Didn't say you were and I'm pretty aware of that being the case. Just because it's kinda normal doesn't mean it's not awful and I'm not sorry you're dealing with something like that. Empathy, not sympathy.
