The Doctor is In

[thecounselor]

[Dr. Price's office is just about exactly what you'd expect from a psychologist's office in the year 6972. There's a large chair next to an equally large and comfortable couch, and a coffee table within reach of both. On the other side of the room, there's large desk with some kind of a computer screen made of glowing light. The metal walls in here have been covered with dark wood paneling, and the lighting is warm and comforting.

There is one of those shitty brass-handled green plastic-shaded lamps on the desk. Why is it there? Aesthetic, apparently.

The desk is flanked by bookshelves filled with nonfiction. There's of course the DSM-40, right next to the DSM-238. Both editions look about the same age, curiously enough. There are also various other books on psychology, psychiatry, and... Artificial Intelligence?

Huh. Everyone's gotta have some hobbies.

There's a long counter with various kinds of tea and a kettle that sits on the counter next to a button, as well as a small sink expressly for washing dishes. There's also a door in the back of the room that probably leads to Dr. Price's personal quarters (good fucking luck).]

((OOC: This is where you can tag if you want to chat with Dr. Price one on one. Y'all know how office hours work by now.))

Well... kind of confused and worried, but mostly alright.

[She does sit down!]

Tea would be very nice, yes!

[thecounselor]

That's completely understandable.

[After a moment he brings her a cup of green tea.]

I hope that this will suffice for you. I'm sure my skills fall woefully short of what you're used to.

[andneversaydie]

[she takes a sip... just a little bit carefully, though.]

Well, it's pretty good, actually. I'm not really gonna complain about it.

[thecounselor]

I'm glad.

[He takes a seat in the chair next to the couch.]

Now, what seems to be troubling you, Miss Mozu?

[andneversaydie]

Well... it's a lot of things, but I guess the easiest one to talk about is that I'm kinda having trouble getting used to the pace of things. I mean, I'm used to working all day and maybe having a little free time later, but... this is pretty much all free time.

[thecounselor]

I see. [He takes a note.] Would it be accurate to say that you're... understimulated?

[andneversaydie]

...

I... guess? I'd never put it that way, but yeah.

[thecounselor]

"Bored," perhaps, would be a colloquial word. [Takes a note.] Have you been adjusting to the more complicated technology well?
