thecityneversleepsJack had been in this city -- Darrow -- for approximately 36 hours. In that time, he’d gotten his information packet, found his apartment, and done a whole lot of walking around trying to understand what was where. Robby had done his best to explain the unexplainable, which was fortunately something that they both did regularly, and Jack had accepted that at least for now, this was where he was. His mind and his body were still on nights, which he wanted to maintain, if he could, but there were plenty of errands and little tasks that couldn’t be avoided when someone moved to a new town, involuntarily or not, and most of those had to happen during the day. He would need to find a doctor, a therapist, a prosthetist, and a PT, at a minimum. After all that was handled, he could find out if the hospital here was hiring. Robby had been confident they’d hire Jack, but if they didn’t need another ER attending, they wouldn’t be creating a position just for him, no matter how much Robby talked him up. He’d have to see if there was an urgent care or standalone ER somewhere. It didn’t seem large enough for that, but what did he know?
For now, though, he was adding a new task to his mental list. He'd gotten food for his apartment and bought some clothes so he could change out of the black scrubs he'd arrived wearing. Now he needed something that kept his coffee warm and could survive being dropped, but he didn’t want anything too fancy. He just needed a decent tumbler and some coffee to put in it, and he was looking through the options at a little coffee shop near his new apartment (which did not have an Ocean View, but it wasn’t far, either). He picked up a matte black one that came with three separate lid options and considered it. He wasn’t sure why he needed three separate lids for one tumbler. That just seemed overly complicated.
“Have you tried any of these?” he asked the person next to him. They were in the coffee shop, so they might have an idea or an opinion. Or, with his recent luck, they’d just be there to get a gift card and had never had coffee in their life.
[[First public post for Jack! Find him in any coffee shop you like wearing a solid-colored t-shirt and cargo pants. Open till this says otherwise.]]
