4. You're sounding very like one to me just now.

Who: Harry Goodsir and OPEN TO ALL
What: Open log for any and all nonsense
Where: Mostly Milton, but a little Lakeside as well
When: May and stuff
Warnings: TBD but you know, Harry's canon is what it is.

I. Milton

Out of any given month, Harry Goodsir spends at least three weeks in Milton. He has a fairly constant routine now that is ripe for disruption: in the mornings, he is at home to anyone who needs medical assistance, and then after lunch he makes a round of the town to see if there's anyone who needs help who is unable to come to him, or who refuses to look after themselves for their own good and needs some gentle prodding. Around tea-time he stops off at the community hall, making himself available there. Then he returns to his cabin for the rest of the evening, again available to anyone who needs help or indeed any social callers. Likely as not, one will find him reading one of the scientific or medical texts he's scrounged from Milton and Lakeside.

II. Lakeside

Harry tries to get over to Lakeside for about a week each month, to check in on how things are going there, to scrounge for more supplies, and to visit his friends who live there as well. His routine there is much like that in Milton.

III. The hot springs

Every now and then, Harry hikes up to the hot springs for what passes as rest and relaxation for an afternoon. If there are others there, he may hang around somewhat awkwardly until they leave before getting in himself, or he might just give up and go home. But if there's no one there, he will get in and stay there for a good while. Which means he is liable to be surprised by anyone who happens by.

IV. Wildcard

Amidst all this routine, there is plenty of opportunity for Stuff to Happen; feel free to come up with any scenario that suits.

At least his assumption that Harry is the doctor Rorschach would have gone to was right, then. It mostly made sense since Goodsir is the doctor who's been here the longest - and Rorschach also has been here for longer than Billy has. It only make sense to visit the same doctor again for repeat visits.

"I was wondering if he mentioned anything to you."

There's a slight pause, but he realises that with Harry's wording so far, the other might not bring it up unless Billy adds a little bit more of his reason for asking this in the first place.

"He must have come to you with a rather severe burn. I.. am afraid that was my doing." Well, maybe afraid isn't the right word. But it's also true that it hadn't been intentional at first, even though it felt kind of good after the fact. Empowering. "I was worried as to what he might have told you about it."

It's easy to spin it as an 'I'm worried about my reputation and being unfairly seen as a pyromaniac' sort of matter - because that's also true! But Billy is infinitely more worried that Rorschach may have passed on the information that Billy and Hickey are living together and in an active relationship to the other man.
