— he figured now would be as good a time as any to get started on his idea. with the appearance of lucerne, having another medically-experienced person around appeared truly kick mick’s project into gear. he walked around inside of the abandoned building, hands in his pockets and eyes wandering about curiously. he had thought about it for a long while, yet only now did he decide it would be good to make it a reality. “this would make a great clinic, don’t you think?” no other group he knew truly had a clinic. northstar could be the first to start running one and, truly, the man couldn’t be any more excited with the thought.

the first step was finding a place and, at the end of the day, this building looked like it would be it. there was plenty of room, plenty of space and opportunity… all it needed was a lot of work. which was exactly why he had hired some help to help him patch the place up. he sucked in a short breath, then turned to pick up some of the trash that littered the place. “alright. let’s get started.” this project gave him something to do while he rested his leg up (if you could call this resting his leg). and, really, it wouldn’t be much like him at all to want a clinic and put in none of the work to obtain one.

// mickey's working on bringing a clinic to northstar!!
you can have your character be one of the people who volunteered to help clean if you want!! or simply seeing all the commotion going on inside idem : ' ))

[Amy Ray]

//tw for drugs, death, and somewhat anti-medicine outlook

Her view on medicine had been poisoned.

Comparing filthy street drugs to real, proper, clinically tested medicine perhaps wasn't the most fair comparison in the world. But wasn't it? For all of the wonders they were supposed to do, they still came with side effects. But hey, there was another drug for that! And another for that drug's side effects. Come on now, let's not forget that cocaine had once been considered medicine.

Amy would never again trust the street peddlers that promised relief for all sorts of ailments. She knew better than most how much bullshit that all was; it was her family's goddamn business. She had almost been one of them. If Jaime hadn't died, Amy might have gone the same route her sister had. But you know what? She'd give anything to have Jaime back, even if it meant she didn't learn of the horror. Even if it made her sick to think that instead of having her girlfriend's life ruined and ended, Amy would have been responsible for someone else's.

She had a hard time trusting real medicine too, now. It wasn't as bad as her vehement hatred for street drugs, but it was there. It wasn't just her cynicism, either, about how it was little better and all just a grand scheme. If someone was sick and really needed the medicine, she could look past that. But how could anyone trust where it came from? You just had to take people at their word, and people were liars. People didn't care.

Still, a doctor would be far more trustworthy in this area than anyone else. Preferably one that had actually gone to medical school before the blackout, but hey, leave it to someone of her blood to have high standards.

Amy was one of the volunteers to help clean out the would-be clinic. She liked to think that it was admirable, what they were trying to do, that healthcare attracted good, honest people and wasn't just a den of corruption. She liked to think that her work would enable people to be helped instead of hurt. And if nothing else, would justify her stay and consumption of resources to Northstar.

She wasn't a chatty person by nature, so she just got down to the work without saying anything.

[GREENIE.]

    When Mick brought up the premise of a fully functioning clinic in Northstar District, Greenie began to grin from ear to ear. It was a fantastic idea in his opinion - after all, health care was so important in this day and age where medical assistance was nearly non-existent. Green didn't know very much about his biological mother's cancer prognosis, but he had always assumed that she probably could've been saved if she could more readily access medical care.

She had never told him that her illness was terminal.

He believed strongly in the benefits of this clinic and whilst it was too late to save his mother or Gus, Green knew that this clinic could save so many more people. And so, he volunteered, humming cheerily to himself as he swept the floors. ❝ Hey, what do you guys think we should name this clinic then? ❞ He questioned thoughtfully, briefly glancing at the others before he continued sweeping.

— mateo liked to claim that this clinic had been his idea. it was something he had already stated to multiple npcs, that this had been his idea and mickey just happened to steal it and get to green before he could. whether or not that was the case, mateo was sticking to his guns about it. so of course, it being his idea, he would volunteer to help get everything in motion. he picked up larger pieces of trash to make room for green to sweep up the smaller bits. “suarez clinic,” he remarked with a grin, noting, “since it was my idea, you know.”

he turned his gaze over towards mickey as he said it - who looked less than impressed with the suggestion. mick turned his gaze away. ”doesn’t have much of a ring to it, don’t you think?” mateo’s grin faltered slightly before he went back to picking things up.
“a lot of clinics and hospitals were named after saints before the electricity went out,” an npc noted. mick once again didn’t seem too enthused by the idea, but he remained less vocal about it this go around.

“what do you think, green? any ideas?” his eyes wandered towards amy; the quiet one of the group. "got any suggestions, amy?"

[Amy Ray]

The others were talking, discussing a name for the clinic. She didn't say anything, didn't even look over at them. Amy just kept her gaze on the window she was cleaning, though she couldn't help listening in. The Suarez Clinic? Well, if it Mateo's idea then it was a reasonable idea, regardless of whether the name had a ring to it.

Naming it after a saint? Perhaps, though she wasn't sure she could think of any saint that would be appropriate. She didn't know if it was her family that started ignoring the saints first, or if it was the saints that started it, but in any case, none of them were watching out for her. Maybe they would be, if she hadn't broken away from her family the way she had, and could find it in herself to believe in their powers.

"Got any suggestions, Amy?"

Amy froze, wracking her brain for anything to say. Even how to say no, she doesn't have an idea. I swear I didn't used to be this bad at talking to people. That's what years of isolation will do to you, she supposed. Then, it hit her. She couldn't believe she didn't think of it sooner. Really, it was right there in front of her. Amy turned around, cool and calm, the only hint of anxiety being how tightly she clenched the rag in her hand. "St. Peters? That used to be Northstar's name before it was... Northstar." She shrugged, eyes dropping to the floor.

— suarez clinic hadn’t necessarily been turned down because of the sound of it; it had been turned down because it hadn’t actually been mateo’s idea. mick had more things to worry about than someone trying to take credit for an idea of his; he wasn’t concerned enough to call the man out on it. instead, a relatively blunt response back was the best he could offer.

“st. peters? that used to be northstar’s name before it was… northstar.”
his eyes darted over towards amy. she stood calmly, rag clenched in her hand, eyes turned towards the floor. mateo momentarily gazed over at her and then pursed his lips, as if contemplating the name idea. since mateo seemed hesitant to give someone else the glory (that was what mick decided at least) he decided to speak up.

“that’s a good idea,” he supplied, eyes remaining on her for a moment. his lip twitched just the slightest into a ghost of a smile. st. peters. “i like it.” at least to show someone commended her for her idea.

//sorry for this post y i k e s

[GREENIE.]

    ❝ Suarez Clinic... ❞ Green uttered before he began to chuckle, head in his hand momentarily before remarking playfully, ❝ I guess it's official then, huh? ❞ Personally, Green hadn't realized that it'd actually been Mateo's idea; as far as he'd been aware, he assumed it was Mickey who had originally thought of the idea. Oh well - if it was Mateo's idea, then he deserved the recognition for it.

When Amy brought up her suggestion, Green raised his brows, lips parting ever-so-slightly with realization that - shit - that was actually a really good point. He pointed a finger at the woman, a pleased smile slowly finding its way on his lips. ❝ Amy, you're a fuckin' genius. ❞ He glanced around at the others; adding, ❝ St. Peters? Who thinks that should be the name? ❞

[Amy Ray]

There was a moment of silence, stillness, after she made her suggestion. Then Mickey spoke up in support of the idea, surprising her. Then Green, who even went so far as to call her a genius. Her face warmed up, and she turned back to keep working on the window so they wouldn't see. They liked the name. They actually did. She couldn't really believe it, so she just kept scrubbing at a spot on the window. She sure as fuck wasn't going to speak up again and vote for her own idea; surely that went without saying?
