ic contact

This is the voice of doctor Victor Frankenstein.

If you require me, I recommend other means of reaching me than these devices. You may leave a message at room 10-1. I will nevertheless try to keep apprised of communication by this method.

November 9th. Text.

Good evening, Frankenstein.

I understand it's late, and you dislike conversation, but you seem to have more experience with Wonderland than I.

Did you, perchance, see three playing card men on your device the other day?

I must admit, it's gotten me worried.

Victor Frankenstein: ☠ that comes to you now seeking

lifeskills on November 13th, 2016 08:52 am (UTC)

_{[... Good evening to you, too, knock-off Mr. Gray? What is this even.]}

Let the record reflect I am not adverse to either the hour or "conversation." Nonetheless, I confess I was surprised to see your message.

_{[Then again, he did say it was all right for Dorian to contact him, so he has only himself to blame for this. Wouldn't be the first time he's invited the devil into his house, unfortunately.]}

I did see them. Something to look forward to this weekend, I wager.

I shall keep that in mind.

[Get used to it, bootleg Frankenstein. Mr. Gray likes talking to you.]

Something to look forward to. You make it sound like a good thing.

Do the cards normally have the ability to turn into dogs?

Victor Frankenstein: ☠ to extract such murky ardor

lifeskills on November 15th, 2016 10:03 am (UTC)

If you wanted to hear some sarcasm, you should have called instead of written.

_{[That is a service he's happy to provide at all hours of the day, every day.]}

I have seen them only sparingly over the years so I could not say. Do they have you afraid?

Would you rather have me call you, then? Your voice is rather soothing to hear.

[Is Dorian flirting or being sarcastic himself? We may never know.]

So they're a rare presence. That's good to know...

I suppose Alice is a more common sight than the cards.

Has she always been blind? Her blank features still haunt me.

Victor Frankenstein: ☠ o world! o life! o time!

lifeskills on November 18th, 2016 09:51 am (UTC)

_{[Ugh. Guess who's not even going to dignify that question with a response.]}

You should consider adjusting your definition of "soothing."

Why not ask her yourself?

Thanks for helping me with the font, by the way.

[Fine, be that way.]

On the contrary, you seem to have no idea what "soothing" even means. It's not healthy to be so uptight all the time.

But I digress.

How do I ask her anything if I have no way to find her? I haven't seen her since she posted that video.

Victor Frankenstein: ☠ and caring thoughts

lifeskills on November 21st, 2016 10:05 am (UTC)
no prob <3

While we are on the topic of personal preferences, I prefer credibility with my medical advice in future.

Leave a message on the network. Write on a mirror. Perhaps you can think of some way to entice a child.

theothermrgray on November 22nd, 2016 12:55 pm (UTC)

Alright, but what makes you say that? I don't recall doubting your medical knowledge before.

[Victor's not really a madman who reanimates corpses... Right?]

I'm not sure about writing on the mirrors. I think that might get the attention of one of those doppelgangers everyone talks about.

Victor Frankenstein: ☠ and every motion and odour

lifeskills on November 28th, 2016 11:30 am (UTC)

_{[Oh, boy. Had he been this tone deaf to subtext back when he'd first been getting comfortable with text messages? He hopes not.]}

Once again, that was also sarcasm.

As for the mirrors, it probably would.

_{[The trouble Dorian gets into isn't his problem or concern, though. It might even be a little gratifying to see the Mirrors harass someone else for a change.]}

theothermrgray on November 28th, 2016 09:07 pm (UTC)

Ah, sarcasm. Somewhat uncalled for.

If I had any idea you possessed a medical license, I wouldn't doubt your training.

[Seriously, not every Dorian Gray knows all about you, Victor.]

Unless Alice happens to be some sort of rogue mirror, there is no point in putting myself in such unnecessary peril. Trying to get the mirror's attention is like covering yourself in raw meat and entering a lion's den.

Victor Frankenstein: ☠ built round with ivy

lifeskills on November 30th, 2016 11:14 am (UTC)

_{[Only somewhat? He's losing his touch.]}

The pertinent fact is you do not, unless you wish to claim you have been busy in medical school back home. You can save your remarks on my health.

What you do with your good health is your choice. I would not presume to advise you in that regard.

theothermrgray on November 30th, 2016 07:02 pm (UTC)

Then why bother asking you for medical advice? You don't seem keen on giving it.

[Give it time, Victor. You'll see the joys of being pleasant soon enough.]

Victor Frankenstein: ☠ but for some pastoral people

lifeskills on December 3rd, 2016 08:33 am (UTC)

How you choose to engage with Wonderland is your business. Interact with the Mirror entities or do not, it matters little to me.

_{[Remember when he agreed to treat Dorian with a clean slate? That may have been a lie and he may still think of the two Dorians as interchangeable enough that he doesn't care what one or the other gets up to so long as it doesn't involve him.]}

Do you have an actual medical question? Otherwise these have all been questions any one else in the mansion could have answered for you.

[And nobody was surprised, given Victor's disposition. It will take some time to prove him "wrong."]

Not at the moment, but I shall keep in touch in case anything happens.
