First Blog Entry - Is this thing on? / [ Audio ]
( OOC: Back-dated to the morning of the 17th )
[ John's been trying to locate the microphone on the journal for the last five minutes and, for the last two or so, there's a fluctuation of the feed as the book shuts and reopens. Sod it. Sally seemed to have heard him well enough when he was speaking into the open pages before, and it's already proved to be sensitive to written transmissions.
Rainfall is a distant sound. ]
Right, ehm. Good morning, Luceti.
My name is John Watson and I've a few questions, specifically toward the medical situation we've got here. I'm at your clinic, looking over the equipment and the pharmacy. There seems to be a rather, well, shocking imbalance between the advancement of your technology in medical tools and the drugs you've got.
I'm aware there's a hospital somewhere, but is there anyone about that wouldn't mind speaking about the health care they've been receiving here? If anyone could also direct me to the current Chief of Medicine -well, any authority figure between the clinic and the hospital, really- I'd be grateful.
[ Is anyone even in charge around here? It seems as dangerous to make an assumption that there is a hierarchy in place than to think there's not one. ]

[ Short and simple - she assumes that's what he means by the imbalance between tools and drugs? This woman's definitely no doctor, but her mother was, and Lightning was familiar enough with the equipment back 'home' even independently of that to know that what is in the clinics here is noticeably less advanced than what she was once used to... ]

[ Right. That, uh, welcome guide mentioned this, though John's had his doubts about the credibility of it. ]
Have you seen these techniques firsthand? It's, admittedly, a new concept for me.
voice
Yes.
[ Mostly flat, but with a definite tinge of the tone used by someone who's been through this conversation before and finds it not all that entertaining. ]
I take it you don't have manadrives where you're from, either.
[ Basically rhetorical. Nobody here does. ]
