Chapter 1.3: Promotions, Paintings, and Performances (feat. Pennies, Pregnancies, and Potentials)
Tuesday started off well with two elderly patients waiting for their medication. Seems they contracted Gas-and-Giggles at the festival last night. So Charley quickly treated them and sent them on their merry way. And with that she had officially completed the basic requirements needed for a promotion.
The only other admitted patient was Ryder Fenton. And as soon as we went to greet him, Yasmin insisted that she had it under control...
"Weren't you... a doctor yesterday?" Charley inquired which only furthered Yasmin's frustration and determination to take care of young Ryder. (Side note: he never was released)
So Charley did what any medical assistant would do and hid in the breakroom eating cold microwave meals until new patients arrived. It wasn't very best course of action, but it kept her from incurring the wrath of Yasmin.
It wasn't long before the waiting room was full of patients again, it's like they all showed up at the same time according to some sort of schedule. As the lobby filled with married and unavailable men, whose wives sent them to the hospital so they wouldn't have to hear them whine, Charley opted that the lone child Zaiden Minton made for the perfect candidate for her experimentation... I mean... care.
Oh boy, back on this terrifying machine. How about we start pressing buttons and see if it works. Nope, that didn't work. Abort, abort.
"Heh, your head will be fine." Charley assured Zaiden, "Uh, let me go grab Dr. Wada and he'll finish your check up. Perhaps he can take care of the bleeding as well."
Next in was Victor Feng, he wasn't doing too hot, or maybe he was too hot. Cause his fever was through the roof.
"So where have you been recently? Have you traveled or gone anywhere you could've picked up a bug?" Charley questioned as she was doing her routine checkups.
"Well my wife has been home sick, so it's likely that's where I picked it up." Victor replied simply.
"But your wife was... Yasmin..." Charley realized. That explains the demotion then. Good to know.
Charley was able to take care of the her remaining patients after passing through the capable hands of Dr. Yuusuke Wada. She's glad that there's one capable Dr. on staff. The day came to an end, and Charley got to expecience the joy of her first promotion. Take that X-Ray Scanner. Scanner 4 | Charley 1
With our new title of Medical Technologist, we quickly headed home and started working on a new hobby. Perhaps we'd open a Plopsy store with our bonus.
I think I'll call this one Plopsy in honor of my new online shop! She managed to get 2 painting up on her shop before the lightning at home wasn't ideal for painting. So instead she hit up Penny and invited her out to the Karaoke Contest down by the Waterfront.
And look, to her surprise, Penny was indeed a little Richards. (Too soon?)
Charley quickley congratulated her friend warm hug. "Oh you're going to be a great mother! I can't wait to meet your little one!"
Turns out these too really get into it. Though at this point in time you can't say that they're great... A couple onlookers had to leave quickly after they heard some of the shrieks coming from their room. But they had a blast, so that's all that mattered. She'll get better with time right?
After their duet, Charley did her piece for the contest. She must've over stressed her vocals belting it out with Penny that I'm pretty sure several glasses broke out by the bar. But look at her getting into it. Keep being you, Charley. 3/100 points later, she decided it wasn't too bad and hung out by the bar for the rest of the evening. Beside what could be more romantic than seranading the one you love at a karaoke bar?
After some clever scouting and low-key sleuthing, she noted that there were 2 single guys hanging around the bar. And no, Brent Heckings wasn't one of them.
Meet Akira Kibo and Minato Hashimoto, the lone bachelors of the Waterfront Warble.
Now Charley may be a romantic, but her dream romance has always been where your best friend runs down the stairs to ground floor so that he can meet you at the elevator before you get off, just to tell you that he's been in love with you this whole time.
So begins the blossoming friendship between Charley, Akira, Minato, and Penny.
