[He's sort of been told that there's a clinic here, and now finally Rory managed to bring himself here after many... incidents. It's taken a while, and really he shouldn't have taken this long, but here he finally is and hopefully he can make up for the time he wasn't here soon.

Still, he's not quite certain what to do here. It's all mildly overwhelming, and Rory can only stare a little after the first few steps through the entrance, debating how he should go about it. Maybe he should just ask the front desk who was in charge... its an idea, if anything.

So that's what he does.]

Um... hello?

[Bianca has never been especially fond of doing the administrative work required in her job. She can do it, it's part of the job, after all, but she's always been strongest on the floor. It's where she feels like she's directly helping people. Here though, with properly trained help sparse on the ground, the paperwork is important: keeping track of inventory, who- between the kedan assistant nurses and foreigner volunteers- needs to be taught what, how to balance the schedules so she and Dr. McCoy have time to eat, sleep, and have the chance (even if they don't act on it) to get away from the clinic without one or both of them being gone for too long.

It's all necessary, and keeping on top of it is vital. Having someone walk in to distract her from it for the moment is a welcome, though.]

Hi there. Can I help you with something?

[Okay, so now he has her attention.

...now what?]

Er. [Okay, Rory, you can do this. Just because you've been in this strange turtleland for so long now doesn't mean your social skills have gone bad.] I heard that you need more help... here?

[...yeah, okay, not the best thing to start with, but at least its to the point.]

[That question definitely caught her attention even more.]

Yes, we do. We could always use more help. [Have a smile, Rory.]

Do you have any skills or would you need to learn anything to help out?

[There's nothing wrong with volunteers, but with how short they are, having to teach basic first aid and other simple things and make sure nothing goes wrong, it can be time consuming.]

[Oh, good. Progress. Of a sort. That's always good.

Rory smiles back, eyes bright and nods, much more confident now.]

I've been working as a nurse back home for about a decade, so I have experience. Just not sure if that will match up to whatever other things this place has.

[What with superheroes and magical beings and all that jazz. And here he thought aliens were bad enough.]

[From a medical perspective, magical beings, much less superheroes aren't of much use in a medical setting, unless they're Dr. Mid-nite, who is a medical doctor and superhero. Rory's just made her month by saying that.]

In that case, you're perfect. We were already shorthanded, and it's only been even worse since Dr. Natu left earlier this month. They might be bringing people here, but there aren't very many who are able to help when it comes to the medical side of things.

Right now it's only me and Dr. McCoy with any experience in the the medical field, so you'll be a great addition. I'm Bianca, by the way.

[There's a surprised blink at the answer he gets - Rory certainly had not been expecting that at all, so its a bit of a surprise but... its a good surprise, he supposes. Sure, its worrying that there's not a lot of medical help available, but... all the more he should help.]

Rory. Rory Willams. [Smiles just a little bit more, much more encouraged now.] I've been meaning to come here earlier, but things just keep happening and stuff so... [Gestures helplessly and gives a sheepish look. What can you do when things decide to happen, right?]

It's nice to meet you, Rory. [Really, it is.] There's nothing wrong with that, things usually happen for a reason.

[And now for a serious question.]

How do you feel about expanding your skillset and pushing your boundaries? I'm just a nurse as well, but after Dr. McCoy, we probably have the most knowledge here, as far as what's available for the clinic. [Keeliai doesn't exactly have much in the way of native medical personnel.] There are things here that we might have to do that would normally be left to a doctor back on Earth, but we don't really have the people for that.

[Rory takes a moment to let the question sink in, and then he's nodding once more.]

I've had... outside experience-- [if 'outside experience' equates to going across the universe and live two different lives in timelines that no longer exist] --but knowing more is always good. Learning is a lifelong experience, after all.

[Smiles once more. Yeah, he's very much up for learning more if it means he can help more people.]

[That's the sort of attitude they need.]

How soon are you willing to start?

As soon as you want me to? I don't really have much going on here, so...

[Shrugs again, and smiles yet another time - hopefully to show how sincere he is in this.]

In that case I can show you around right now so you can get used to everything and you can start tomorrow.

[Month, definitely made.]

[Nods.]

That works for me.
