This is…Herbert West: a contributor to the recent cure as you may recall as well as…your new Doctor. [He pauses to let that sink in, sounding really smug about it.] The Medical Team is still, small but as more experienced members join it has become more…evident that we do not have the resources we need to properly, treat the Carnival staff.
Namely: up to date medical documentation on you all—now, I made do before with what I had, during the process of constructing the cure but those involved may recall being asked various questions, questions which would have been unnecessary had the previous department been keeping your notes on file. Perhaps medical files aren’t required by, magical zebras but they are required by. Me. It is considerably easier for everyone when all previous knowledge doesn’t leave with the former physician—I’m sure you can agree. [He’s trying his best to sound congenial, definitely, but it mostly comes off as stilted as usual…maybe it counts that he’s trying?]
Today and tomorrow, myself and Mr Okumura will be available to perform physical examinations; any additional medical history you can provide is, welcome, and if you would prefer to attend on an alternate date, contact me to arrange a time.
[And then because so many people here are damned word weasels:] I have to insist all of you show up. Even if you’re healthy. Especially, if you’re healthy to give us an idea of your baseline state but we will, of course, treat any issues you have. Understand, it’s for the good of the Carnival and everyone’s…future well-being.
[ooc: Make sure to help me out by posting anything you think of to the med tent info post. Also, Herbert is almost literally always in the med tent during daytime hours but let us know if you have an ooc preference for checkups.]

Tell me, if someone showed up that you didn't know and you had no knowledge whatsoever of what they were capable of that offered you a 'cure' for something that ailed you. Would you take it without questioning it or are you so much higher than everything else you would assume you'd be fine?
I got caught, I learned my lesson.
People take time, Mister West. Patience, persistence, and care. They have to warm up to you. Do you think everyone just trusted the zebra right away? I didn't.

[Like, fair point, Tyki, but:] What are you giving me advice for?
no subject
Maybe I'm trying to help you. Or maybe not. I know people.

What do you get out of this.
no subject
Someone I can rely on. [And because he's being honest.] And maybe a little fun.
