super low quality sighgh

There is a wasteland

A wasteland filled end-to-end with every vessel carried by a soul who had this interest

Such a sight saddens me so

To see so many lifeless goggles on plague masks

[the-text-mechanic]

He'd pause to think for a second.

Well, I've plenty of metal-

He'd lazily gesture to the surroundings

-And I'm not too good at games, so admission it is. Do ya have the machine with you, or is a bit of travel needed?

<Smiley hesitantly steps into the waste-space, his smile somewhat unnerved as it looks around> You, uh, you fix things, yeah? One of my arcade machines is getting all wonky, sucking in the players… safe to say that I’m losing customers and gaining lawsuits. You have any idea what could be going on?

@the-smile-doc

He’d look up from the counter.

Oh, yeah! I can take a look at it. You got any form of currency or things to trade? I’m pretty open.

@the-smile-doctor //ooc I SAW UR OTHER ASK IT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME NO WORRIES just tagging you here instead of answering it to save space ^_^

[the-text-mechanic]

Alright, I’ll get right into it then.

He’d run back into his shop, then come back out with a box of various tools. He’d begin to pry the panel that had sustained damage open to check the internal damage.

*A strange construct appears, randomly, stepping from behind a ruined pole far too thin to hide their girth.*

*it stumbles up to you.*

???: low-class self damage recorded. Seeking assistantce.

*it looks at you, and a spark flies from its head as it twitches.*

He'd peak out his door and look up to the beast, noticeably taller than him.

Heya! Welcome in.

Assistance- Yeah, I can do that. Can ya fit through the doorway?

He’d approach the rear damaged leg, as it seemed the most easily fixable.

Before I start, do you feel pain when people do this kind of thing? I know it differs from robot to robot..

He’d pause.

Are you a robot? You look it, but it’s best to ask first. That’s my bad.

[the-text-mechanic]

Well, I was rummaging through a forest for berries and animals and stuff. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, after all. I thought I saw something in a bush, so I jumped into that bush. Next thing I know, I'm free falling from stars know how high in a white void where the ground is littered with tons of junk I don't recognize.

*Synvik looks around with intrigue.*

-Synvik

Hm.. this has been happening more and more lately.

I’m not quite sure how to explain this, but whatever made this.. place likes to collect old tech and junk and send it here. It’s been picking up a lot of people, lately.

He’d glance at the sky.

It’s concerning.

[the-text-mechanic]

*The anon continues thinking to themselves as they follow Tin into the shop, tail wagging irritatedly.*

Uh... Synvik? Synvik will work, right?

-Synvik (Anon with a tail)

Synvik.. Nice name. Synvik are you- ah- sure how you got here?

[the-text-mechanic]

He’d think for a moment.

I guess we can figure out payment later. Here, sit down so I can access your leg easier?

i think tin's kind of cute... - 🫀

WOH- I- ah- thank you :'^]

[the-text-mechanic]

hi!! i have no ide what a text doctor or gimmick blog is! can i have a rundown? sorry i'm pulling an all nighter and i'm exhausted but i appear to have stumbled upon a corner of the site i didn't know existed and i'm really curious (: hope you're all having a lovely one!

hello hello hello!!

definition from the helpful mod jp:

Text Doctors are a collection of Tumblr-based RP blogs featuring plague doctors made out of keyboard symbols with their own unique lore, they're mostly variants of the first one to don the title, Doctor Screech

not every character fits this mold though, and it's kinda more... a suggestion than anything???

here's some suggestions and summaries:

@the-arcade-doctor: The Big Dog. Follows Jay as he runs an arcade he built to escape Screech, and the mascot of his arcade, JOTA. Although almost charming in it's misdemeanor at first, the place carries a deeply sinister undercurrent... ties into @the-text-doctor.

@electrocution-hazard: Follows Eros, a mechanic at the aforementioned arcade, as they navigate daily life while struggling to recover from past traumas and fears. A good blog if you like a little bit of introspection and psychological horror, but still want to keep things lighthearted. Ties into aforementioned.

@naturalist-doctor: Similar to aforementioned and run by the same person--follows Winston as he navigates his split personality, his relationships with his peers, and figures out the truths of his immortality. Goes hard on the dark academia gothic horror vibe.

@the-text-mechanic: A newer blog: follows Tin as he runs his repair shop and has polite conversation with the bizarre folks that pass through it.

@the-plagueddoctor: Follows Nikolai as he is infected with something that dubs itself Plague.

Let me know if you want to learn more!
