OOC : // I always know I'm cooking when Eddie likes my replies
OOC : // Actual shit ass luck for Gabi to have a dad Like that and then their first Doctor's appointment they see the primary Doctor in Hometown who is Also Like That
OOC : // I had to think for a second about how checkups like this would go for humans and monsters in Deltarune... because due to the nature of SOULs something as simple as a checking a heartbeat wouldn't be as straightforward. Maybe SOULs have different sounds and soundscapes associated with them?
+ I'm going to need to listen to your SOUL for a moment, here, and see if I find any abnormalities.
OOC : // The Carol and Gaster parallels in his personality and mannerisms is very intentional. He by no means has the same amount of Lore Relevance™ that they do and for all intents and purposes is just Hometown's Unsetting Doctor but the parallels are still very intentional

[ Loud dad sneeze. ] ... Goodness. Must be the weather.
... Hm. Jayne tells me Birdling's not left his room in quite some time.
(Nc) Ground me? How can you ground me when you don’t even have custody?
Hm. It seems we do see eye to eye there. I only ever want what is best for patients. And make no mistake, it was not accident that I got to the position I hold today. It takes much hard work and dedication. Discipline, too.
Quite the noble cause, I'd say. Though it is only the utmost basic of requirements in royalty that a Prince care for and protect his subjects. I'm not quite sure how much I should be congratulating you for it.
OOC : // If I'm gonna share excerpts of Robin's characterization in Level Up I also feel legally obligated to share him and Susie's interactions from the fic because this is some writing I'm still proud of (Yay We Love You Susie Yayyy)
I see. I see. Equally as respectable specialties. I briefly studied physics when I attended university, way back when.
⠀ NOT MEDICAL BUT SCIENTIFIC. PHYSICS TO BE PRECISE. MY APOLOGIES FOR THE BRIEF CONFUSION. ⠀
Hello, then, Doctor. Are there any... specific medical fields you specialize in?
⠀ I AM CALLED DOCTOR WD. ⠀
... Very well. You have my word. I'll take care of him. [ He's lying. Not intentionally or maliciously so, but he is lying. Perhaps he doesn't even realize he is. ]
⠀ ⠀...no. ⠀⠀[ A lie. But they're good at lying. ] ⠀'S'just... a psychological thing, I guess. ⠀A need for reassurance... or somethin' like that. ⠀
OOC : // Robin sucks really really bad but I do have to stress that he isn't 100% a one-note no-questions-asked evil dad and actually has. Complexities to him. Reasons why he is the way he is. He's an asshole but he's not actively malicious yk
. . . [ In a rare show of emotion from him, Robin's brows knit together in mild concern. ] I perish the thought of injury befalling my son. I am quite sorry to hear you've been having such unpleasant dreams lately. ... Are you, perhaps, concerned that I would not take care of him?
⠀ ⠀...you'll take good care of him, yeah? ⠀⠀[ If it were any other father and son, they wouldn't even ask this. But his apparent detachment to Berdly... doesn't paint a good picture. ⠀⠀⠀So they need to know. That if 𝘪𝘵 uses them to hurt their friends... that he'll be in good hands. ] ⠀
Stable condition. [ Curtly adjusting his glasses, maintaining his flat expression. ] ... I'm a little surprised, that you ask. Then again though, I've heard you've been visiting quite a bit. Trust that we are taking good care of him.
⠀ ⠀...how's Noelle's dad doing? ⠀
