galaxy, joy, sense

— joy; best feeling you’ve ever experienced?

“My first surgery. When I told the parents that their son would be fine. They were overjoyed; so was I.”

— sense; best subject? favorite subject?

“History, I was very good with dates. My favorite was definitely biology, I was always curious about it.”

[claudia--james]

diamond, perfume and oasis!

— diamond; favorite color?

“Blue.”

— perfume; favorite scent?

“I also like the ocean, I suppose.”

— oasis; dream destination?

“The ocean, I’ve always wanted to go as a kid. When I finally made it later, it didn’t disappoint.”

[claudia--james]

perfume, murky

— perfume; favorite scent?

“This might be weird… but I like the scent of an OR ready for surgery. It’s fresh and clean and just perfectly ready.”

— murky; biggest fear?

“A patient dying on the table. I mean, I’ve had it happen before… it’s not a very good experience. Especially with children.”

[claudia--james]

lingerie; what do you wear to bed?

— lingerie; what do you wear to bed?

“Pajamas. Anything light. I can’t sleep with sweaters or jeans on; so naturally, winters are not a delight.”

[claudia--james]

pigment, charcoal and footprints!

— pigment; what color is your hair naturally? if you could dye it any color which one would you choose?

“Blonde. I don’t think I could pull off any other hair color? I don’t know, it would certainly feel weird. The most I ever dyed my hair was an electric blue strip in high school.”

— charcoal; do you have a good relationship with your parents?

“I wouldn’t call it much of a relationship. I never knew my father so that’s that. My mother… she was a handful. But I guess that’s family, huh?”

— footprints; do you want kids?

“That’s a loaded question. I don’t know. The idea of it is nice but I’ve never really considered it.”

[claudia--james]

biggest pet peeve ?

            “Bad drivers. I hate bad drivers. If I ever get indicted for murder; it will be because the victim was a bad driver.”

ALEXANDER‌.

The coffee in the station was abysmal, but then again - would it really be workplace coffee if it wasn’t? Besides, he’d prefer to get to know some more colleagues on his break anyway, especially this week. Every time he’d forgotten it for a moment, he suddenly remembered that this was the week he was supposed to get married. He’d been dreading this week, this day, for weeks now, but this morning he’d decided to not let him bother it. He’d spent yesterday cooped up inside, wallowing in self pity, today would be different. And - what better way to make today different than flirt a little? Even if none of it meant anything, even if he had no intention of taking it any further than just a flirty conversation, he’d have at least had that.

“Yeah, I spent two years with doctors without borders - one of the best times of my life,” he said warmly, taking out his phone to show the nurse a picture just for good measure. He was still glancing at it when he heard a voice he’d recognize everywhere, and even though he did, it took him a few seconds to finally look up and face her. Claud. He hadn’t heard that voice in years. When he looked at her, all he could do was push away from the counter to stand up straight and tilted his head sideways as if to say you here? though that didn’t say nearly enough and it said too much at the same time. “Claudia?” he finally said on an exhale, the nurse instantly forgotten. 

“ – Hi.”

                     “Lambert, Bethany Lambert.” She reiterated herself, simultaneously preparing for the reunion about to take place. Claudia’s eyes’ were glued to the nurse as she searched through the files. Finally, she looked up, acknowledging him at the sound of her name. Of course, it was inevitable that she would have met him once again. Although she hoped she hadn’t. It was easier that way. “Alexander...” She smiled, faintly, unsure if she should at all. It was weird, to say the least. Her past was standing in front of her. She had enough confrontations in the last few years, she surely didn’t need another.

“Hi.” She replied as she took the patient file being handed to her, breaking her glance away from Alexander. She had high hopes that he would walk away, or maybe she could just disappear. On the other hand, she didn’t want to be impolite. She didn’t want to seem like their relationship still mattered to her. So, maybe politeness was the only way to go. Collecting her thoughts, she looked back at Alexander, “You’re doing well, I suppose.” A smile followed. Not a happy smile, per se, but a sad one; a kind of smile that signified that he indeed had moved on and maybe she wasn’t quite there yet. “...I’m glad.”

Location: Coffee Shop in Braeswood

Time: Midday

Status: Closed / @tessxbryant​

           Even the air in this neighborhood made Claudia feel uneasy. Somehow every inch of Braeswood was etched into her memory like a tattoo, regardless of the fact that so much had changed in this area over the years. Although given the choice, she would avoid Braeswood like the plague, she thought it was about time she stopped avoiding this part of town. And Tess Bryant was enough of a reason to come here. 

It was indeed rare for Claudia to go out much on her off days but here she was, decidedly so. Spotting her friend nestled in one of the tables at the coffee shop, she made her way over. “Hey...” She said, along with a smile, seating herself at the same table. “Navy sweater, 3 o’clock; has been eyeing you since... seems like a while.”

              Claudia bit into the apple in her hand as she scrolled through her phone for the surgery schedule for the day. Next up, Bethany Lambert. She made her way to the nurse's station to double-check her charts as she always does with all her patients. “Dr. James!” A voice exclaims, panting. She turns to see greet the owner, “Dr. Murphy, I paged you 911 almost ten minutes ago... your patient should be dead by now.” “I was in the restroom...” Claudia stopped in her tracks and looked at her resident, unsure if this was a joke or not. A mumbled apology was enough for her to overlook this statement, at this moment she had more important things to do. “Update me on the patient.” She continues to walk to her destination, listening to the changes in the chart that she would have verified herself in some moments. But she freezes before she can reach the nurse’s station. 

Alexander Arnault. What the hell was he doing here? No, no, no... This can’t be. Not like this. She wasn’t ready for this right now. “Dr. James?” She snaps out of her daze at the sound of her name. And he spotted her. Fuck. She proceeds to make her way over to the patient files, overlooking her former flame. She didn’t really want to interact; searching through the files as a way to avoid what was inevitable. “Where’s the file for Bethany?” She looks up at the nurse, who currently, was preoccupied with swooning over Alexander.

ANIKA‌

When: 4/8/2020 Mid-afternoon

Who: Open @devinstonestarters​

Where: Anywhere

She worked six days a week. So the one day she had off was sacred to her. It was the day she could have entirely to herself. Usually she could be found perched somewhere sunny, coffee in hand or very close to her, and a sketchbook open. This day was different only in that she was on her way to some sunny patch of town, coffee in hand and bag slung over her shoulder. 

She tried not to worry about things, though most days that was impossible. This time, however, she decided that she wasn’t going to worry about a damn thing more than a perfect art piece today. She would worry about bills and then twelve missed calls from her mother later. That’s how she ended up dancing down the street, headphones in her ears as she hummed along. As she approached the corner she didn’t think to look, instead just doing some quick little step, and a spin. 

Eyes widening as she saw movement coming around the corner she tried to move out of the way, her ankle twisting and her entire body meeting the pavement, coffee flying out of her hand. All she could do was laugh and breathlessly speak. “Are you okay? I am so so sorry! That was all my fault.” 

               Claudia had never been late. She made a point of that. She would rather sleep in the on-call room for two weeks straight than ever be late. A surgeon can’t be late; because when they are people tend to die. She lived by this rule. So, on this Wednesday afternoon, the fact that she was late even by three minutes meant that she was about to get caught up in traffic. Grabbing the stack of files she headed down the stairs and out the door as soon as she could. Minding her stack of papers and her belongings she absentmindedly rushed to her car. Sprinting down the block, she turned around the corner and in an unexpected moment, she crashed into a stranger. 

Albeit, it was both their faults but right now she was late to surgery and didn’t have the time in her hand to go through all this. “Fuck.” She muttered, getting back on her feet. Attempting to shake off the spilled coffee off of herself, she hurriedly gathered her papers off of the ground, which was all mixed up by this point. “You should watch where you’re going.” She replied, sternly, still trying to pick up all her belongings.
