Random drawing...Rose lending a sympathetic ear as the doc explains where the nickname Dr_Death came from....
"So the lupe died...?"
"It wasn't even my fault...it was the worst case of neglect I'd ever seen. The thing didn't stand much of a chance of surviving from the time his ex-owner brought him in. He was infested with neomites and neopox and looked like he hadn't been fed in days."
".....what did you do?"
"*shrug* I did what I could...gave him medication, some water, some food, put him in a kennel for the night and hoped for the best. He didn't make it to the next morning."
"That's awful...!"
"I know. Well, I got to work early to...to, ya know, check on him...but, he was already dead. I tried to get him out of his kennel and into the back so I wouldn't upset anybody when they all woke up and I could talk to whoever I needed to talk to about burial expenses and bunk like that. Anyway....A couple of the adoptees were awake and they saw me hauling him out of the cage and...I guess they got scared. They started screaming and waking everybody else up....they thought I'd killed him."
"But you didn't...."
"Of course I didn't, but YOU try explaining that to a roomful of frenzied Neopets. They didn't want to hear it. A mini-riot broke out...they started throwing things, screaming at me, yelling...they all started calling me Doctor Death. And after that, the rumors started to fly about what had happened and the name stuck to me whether I wanted it or not.....*sighs* .....anyway, that's the story...."
"That's terrible! You didn't try to explain it later or anything??"
"Nobody wants to listen to me....."
".........doc? Doc, are you crying?"
".........no. Leave me alone."
