It has come to my attention that with our recent influx of visitors to the town, that the threat Drink may once again be making its way through our ranks. [Crane sighs. This is so very frustrating.] I feel that as the doctor of this fine town, it is my duty to remind you not only of your role as civilized, law abiding people, but also of the consequences of such vagrancy. I must remind you not of the virtues of Temperance, but the horrors of Drink. [You can hear him capitalizing the words.]

As our friend Benjamin Rush emphasized so long ago, the impact of Drink cannot be underestimated on the body nor on the mind. If you were to have even one sip, people of the town, rest assured that you would find yourself hopelessly dependant on the substance. Your whole body craving it, you will lose your employment, your home, your family and finally your life. If you think that Drink is worth such a cost, please, I invite you to partake in it.

[He glowers at the camera for a few seconds.]

I also advise that no one visits the show. It is a disrespectful place and dangerous. I will be attending myself in order to make scientific observations, but I encourage all others to avoid it if possible. They will take your hard earned money, as well as poison your body and steal your life.

If you need to send me a message while doing so, do use the journal system. For other concerns, do ask my wife, Piper. Doubtless she will be willing to advise you on any concerns of virtue that you may have. [There's a slight edge in Crane's voice, and he turns off the journal.]

Funny how you tell them to stay away, and yet you just can't help but come. Observations indeed, Doctor.

Sorry, he's a dick. :c

How astute, for a girl who publically bemoans how she cannot keep her clothes on. I don't expect you to understand the ways of science.

lololol I knew what I was getting into!

[laughs loudly at this.]

I don't do the cooch, you nitwit, I was only talkin' about destroyin' my clothes with blood during my act. I'm the Indestructible Girl, thank you very kindly. Tends to get messy from time to time, Doctor. You'd just eat me right up with your science, I bet. Tryin' to explain how in tarnation I can regrow limbs or survive life ending wounds.

Frankly, young lady, I am not interested in how bloody your clothes become during your act. I highly recommend that you visit the church and our local priest.

Fff, yeeaah, we have our own faith here, Doc. But thanks for the prescription! I'll be sure to give your name good word on the travels ahead. Really, it's quite unfair to knock us down before you've even seen one measly act. I'll give you a front row seat if you promise to see me first.

I may see your act. If I have the time. I would hardly see it first, however.

Disappointment so soon. Fine, second row tickets.

Done. I wouldn't want to get to close to you, regardless.

Afraid I might be contagious?

It's not an unreasonable concern.

I've been with my family for quite some time and none of them have shown signs of cellular healing.

Most likely because such a thing does not exist, unlike your other skills.

Oh, I cannot wait to see the look on your face when you see what I can do, Doctor.

I imagine it will look much the same as it does now. Unimpressed.

Bet you two pence it won't.

I don't take bets. It's immoral.

[A trill of laughter.]

Fine, fine. Suit yourself, Doc.
