NMYF: Cherry Creek Vets

[Asclepius]

After the guy with the dog steps away, Asclepius steps up and places the box upon the counter but to the side allowing for the person behind the desk to see his face. “Hello there, I wonder if you can help me. I am looking for some assistance with a deceased snake. I understand it might be a bit late to bring it to a vet hospital but, I was wondering if there was a way to track down or contact its owner to inform them of it's loss. I know some pets can be chipped so they can be tracked and was unsure if the same applied to reptiles. If not then do you know of a way to identify a snakes owner?” He takes a quick look at the clipboard to see what information it may require upon it.

[Aurora]

It really does warm ones heart to see how much love and care people give their pets. And she hopes the guys dog feels better. It was strange, she always found herself caring more about animals then people. They were the true innocent ones in this world.

As her fellow Shaman speaks up, she adds, “I would also like to know if it was poisonous or not.” Cause it was in her house after all. Though she was pretty damn sure it was, but have to keep up with the story and all that.

Asclepius query an unusual one, not many people walk up and declare the animal they have brought to be deceased. "Um. Well Yes I'm sure I can get one of our team to take a look." A guilty look goes out into the waiting room. "I will have to make sure the treatable patients are seen to first." Those who still stand a chance of not ending up like the snake in the box. "It could be a bit of a wait. Or I could just take this and have someone call you?" Eyes darting to Aurora contribution. "Was anyone bitten, do we need to call 911?" There probabaly had some antivenom in stock but for human medical emergencies this was not the place.

[Asclepius]

He smiles to the person behind the counter. “Thank you, that would be great.” He follows her gaze to the waiting room. “I understand, they need the care more urgently then this snake does.” He looks to Aurora. “Are you okay with waiting a little bit before being seen?” Not an unexpected hiccup but could be detrimental if we are spotted before being seen. If we were to speed up the process it should be discussed before making a rash decision on it. He turns back to the person behind the counter. “We will discuss it before making a decision on whether to stay or wait.” Wanting to quell the worries of the person behind the counter, before they might escalate franticly. “No, no, everything is alright, no one got bit. The snake was subdued before anyone got hurt by it.” Certainly something we did not need happening.

[Aurora]

A quick nod, “Oh, of course.” She wasn’t expecting them to see them immediately. Not with living patients to be seen, she wasn’t selfish. “No one was bit, no need for 911.” She was fairly certain if there had been a bite, one of them would have had the spell to take care of it.

Looking to him, she nods, “I think we can wait a bit. And like you said, discuss leaving it or waiting.” It wasn’t ideal, but, they had to work with what they had. And that meant dealing with bumps in the road.

She’ll take the paperwork and find seats away from where the other people and their animals were if possible. It would be impossible to have privacy to talk, but not being right beside someone would be better.

The receptionist looks a little relived that no one was bitten, it would have complicated her evening somewhat. "Okay good. Then if you don't mind just taking a seat, get that paperwork back to me and someone will call you when they can." There is plenty of room for the two to sit where the yare not shoulder to shoulder with one of the other waiting patients.

A perfectly normal process drawing out their time here, the risk of exposure of being noticed is a complication. A small balm is no unseen senses have gone off nor any cloaked spells been detect by the mage sight. Even as they wait a tannoy system crackles into life. "Calling Lily Miller to Dr. Stamford's in room four. That's Lily Miller to Dr. Stamford's in room 4." The lady with the igunana careful takes into her hands and following some helpful signage heads off towards room four.

[Asclepius]

He smiles back to Aurora as he responds. “Cool, I just thought I would ask, I assumed neither of us were in a rush.” Taking a look around the waiting room as he looks for a suitable seat, his mind wondering if it were better to wait outside, but at least we could see if the assassin would come to the waiting room. His movements slowed as he heard the voice over the tannoy system, Seemingly he got his answer and that the Doctors would expect patients to go to them. That will certainly be an advantage to us. Lily Miller... He looks over to the woman that stood holding the Iguana as he made sure to get a look at her face, you never know if they should meet again.

A thought pops into his head, the mention of the doctor over the tannoy could be of help to them. He began to scan the room looking for the usual plaque collage that displayed the Doctors full names and their respective fields, he was not sure if this would have been don't over in the US but it certainly was always on display in the UK. He could only but hope as he looked around the room. Dr Stamford.... Dr Stamford...

[Aurora]

A single shrug of her shoulder, “No sense in being in a rush.” They would come across the guy at some point. And if it meant more of these Sleepers going first and leaving, even better.

Though she does think she should have gotten the license plate number of the car, might have been good to have in case things don’t go well.

Hearing the voice call for one of the people in the room, she looks to see the lady with the lizard. Ah, so they call people back, interesting. She was used to nurses bringing people back at vets or even doctors offices. But they could work with this.

She wasn’t sure what he was looking for, but she was looking at the paperwork, wondering just how much she wanted to fill it out. How much she wanted to be honest. If who they saw was the guy, he already knew where she lived. Maybe she could fudge it a bit? Give a general location, not the actual address?

Aurora can make a wits+Poltics roll to see what she can get away with fudging on the paperwork/ how to do it

Asclepius is unable to see but is able to deduce there is one significant difference between US and Uk practice the Uk healthcare system being in shambles relies on alot of Locum GP's thus having information in the waiting area makes more sense then having on the door. With higher retention rates of employment the medical professionals in the US would likely have the name and speciality of the DR on the office door as it used to be in the uk before things went very south. But dealing with exotics animals is something likely to be handled by a specialist if one is on site.

The seconds tip past each one another moment risking exposure and discovery. The quite of the waiting room is broken by someone coming through from out back. It's a mother, and her daughter holding a marmalade cat sporting a bandaged paw and a cone of shame. The young girl is hugging the cat while the mother goes to square up at the reception desk.

[Asclepius]

He gives a mild disappointed sigh, before he turns and walks over to where Aurora is sitting. Placing the box with the snake on the seat next to him. “Sorry about that, I was curious about the Doctor's name. In the UK they display the doctors names on a plaque in the waiting rooms or somewhere obvious for people to see. Ah well... Hows the clipboard going?”

His eyes look over to the Young girl that walks in while holding a cat. Certainly a lot calmer then the hospital I work at. He continues to sit, Patiently waiting for their turn to see a doctor while placing an arm on the box to stop it falling onto the floor.
