Seth and the other had gathered Ione, Marie, Stevie, and Thierry, and a meeting began to take form. (Anna and Ben at least are here, and probably Ashley is as well.)
While people were still taking seats, Thierry whispered something to Seth, who nodded. Finally, it was called to order.
Seth-
"OK, looks like we got everyone but Chantelle and I can tell her later. There's one reason I gathered you all right now, but there's also an important piece of information for you to know. Thierry, maybe, you can break the news about this since you know the details."
Seth sat down and Thierry stood up.
Thierry-
"I'm not sure the best way to say this without causing some furore, so I'll start simply. Dr. Victor is in a coma."
Mothafuckas were shocked.

 Ashley knew that it was true, almost before Thierry spoke it. He had not seen him anywhere, and knowing Victor, he could not help but be incredibly annoying at every meal. "I noticed. What happened to him?" Ashley frowns and crosses his arms. The man had helped him, and the loss was a loss for the community, at the very least. |

Ben was as surprised as everyone else, but kept silent while waiting for Thierry to explain. A coma? Had the doctor's 'eccentricity' gotten the better of him? |

Ione-
"Oh my GOD! What the hell?! How come we weren't told about this?!"
Marie-
"You really need to calm down, I'm certain there was a good reason."
Ione-
"Fuck that! I'm sorry, but it's just..."
Stevie-
"She raises a good point."
Thierry-
"OK! My worst fears about explaining this have been confirmed. Thank you for that demonstration, Ione..."
((anything short y'all would like to say in here?)) |

"I assume you will tell us what happened? Why was not the truth asked when I asked about him?" He frowns, but crosses his arms and listens. |

Thierry was glad to see things settling down as much as they could for the moment.
Thierry-
"I knew it could cause serious problems if the way this information got out was not well controlled. I didn't want to start an international incident, as such. Basically, there was a small civil war at the UWMRC, and he got caught in the crossfire. The people that are now in charge there are doing their best to keep him alive, and make him well. That's all they can do.
More questions?"

"A...civil war?" He asks, frowning at Thierry. "It sounds like he got himself into a very dangerous situation." He sighs softly, and then shifts slightly.
Ione-
"War?! How many people are over there? Do they have guns?"
Stevie-
"One at a time, Io, but I'm sure he'll answer everything."
"...Can we visit him? I was hardly his friend but this is a terrible thing that has happened. He was good at his work." He remarks to almost no one. |

Thierry-
"OK, civil war was the wrong phrase to use. They had one gun, and the man in charge there used it as a tyrant. There was a fight, Dr. Victor was shot, and the leader ended up violently deposed. The gun is no longer an issue, nor is the leadership there, so Dr. Victor is as safe as he can be, given that he was shot.
I don't think visiting him can be of much use, but perhaps we should organize a visit for those concerned to go se for themselves. He is in good hands. Any more questions at the moment?"
Marie-
"I worked there. Who did what to whom?"
Thierry-
"Dr. Franco was ruling unjustly and met a tragic demise by the weapon with which he laid our friend Charlie into that sickbed. A woman pulled the trigger on Franco; I don't recall her name at the moment. Dr. Green is now trying to organize the place more equitably."
Marie-
"Unbelievable."
Stevie-
"That lady that capped Mr. Moustache, gotta give her a pat on the back, ya know what I mean? Fuckin' A."

Ashley had not been aware of any of those problems, but their presence troubled him to some degree. He shifts his weight and stands taller. "I see... Why did you not say something earlier, Harrison? I know you two were friends." He speaks in complete ignorance of any sexual relationship which they had. |

Thierry-
"As I said, I didn' t want to start a riot. I could imagine hotheaded people from our side charging the clinic with pitchforks, which is the last thing Dr. Victor needs. At any rate, now I ask you all this:
How do we tell everyone about this without making it a big problem? Any suggestions or concerns?"

Ben felt a bit guilty for assuming that Dr Victor had gone into a coma due to something inherently wrong with his head. But that didn't stop him from trying to bring some cold, hard logic into the issue.
Ben-
"I don't see the problem. Unless we are going to accuse UWMRC as a group, it seems as if the guilty party has already been dealt with. Assuming that we believe their story. Is there any reason not to? Does it seem too 'convenient' that the killer got killed? Should we send Dr Melange there to check everything out, or would that be too risky?"

"Hm, I think I accept that as truth, unless you are suspicious?" He stares at Ben expectantly. |

Thierry-
"After some initial bumbling attempt at subterfuge, they seemed very earnest. As long as we visit occasionally to check on our man, I'm sure that will be sufficient. But as to the other question - How would you tell someone so as to minimize their fears and anger?"

Ben-
"What I said, basically. He was shot, and the one who shot him was killed by the people at UWMRC, so obviously they didn't condone the shooting. And therefore they're not our enemies. That should take care of both fears and anger in my book. Well, except for anger at the unfairness of life, I suppose. And fears of losing Dr Victor permanently. But those weren't the fears you were speaking of, right?"
Ben was no psychologist, so he didn't know how to cushion the blow. But Dr Victor hadn't been that close to a lot of people, had he? Would people really be that upset? Seemed to Ben like they might become more upset about having been kept in the dark. Was that something Thierry was worrying about?"You weren't thinking of people becoming angry that you've been holding out on them, were you? And then fearful that we might hide other things from them? Because that seems like it could be a serious concern. Hard to keep this community together without trust." |
