Dayshift 61: Doctor's Office 8 (Dr. Cox) [4th Shift]
Given what he'd done to the last nurse that had bothered him, and the fact that it had already been more than ten minutes since that time, Cox was fairly certain that every nurse, orderly, receptionist and even janitor currently working that day knew about it. And maybe some that weren't working if this place actually got decent phone service. As such, when his door next opened, he decided not to even bother looking back from his continued lounging on the sofa, choosing instead to go right into his current jackass routine.
“This is Doctor Cox,” he droned out mechanically with all the monotony of an answering machine, “So sorry I can't come to the door right now, buuuut if you drop your package at the beep and leave without a word, I'll be sure to not start listing off your biggest insecurities and, thereby, make you leave in tears." Message completed, he drew in a deep breath and finished with a long, "Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep," that was not going to end until he heard the door closing behind him.

hahaha
"It's what I'm supposed to do, right? I get my squat on and you lay onto me with what it is a therapy session be for." There's a bit of a pause as he just kicks his feet back and forth. "...Though I could be movin' back up into a standing position if this ain't chill with you."
Always willing to be accommodating.

And that just wasn't like him.
Slowly, after a period of staring, Cox raised his hands to the guy and kept them up as he spoke. "I'll probably be answering my own question with this one, but... I'm just curious enough to risk it:" he prepared, warning both himself and Goose for what was about to come, "Did they drug you before they sent you in here?"

He rolled up the sleeve of one arm, revealing a band-aid. "Motherfuckers like to stick me with some all pie juice or somethin' in the arm when I get up. Don't really do nothin'." Yeah, that's basically being drugged, but that part is still sort of going over his head.

"Good God, I broke him," Cox muttered with his head tilting off even more at the oddity that was supposed to be his patient. After a long enough pause, Cox had no choice but to give a rather loud whistle to see if Goose was even breathing. Sure, he wanted to get fired, but not because a patent was so drug addled that his heart stopped mid-therapy.
Whether Goose heard the whistle or not, there was at least an eventual response which, big shock, did answer Cox's own question. "Pie Juice", was it?
"I'm gunna guess that pie juice takes you to your happy place more often than you realize..." Cox sighed, his tone hinting towards anger. He wasn't mad at Goose exactly, but at the fact that the nurses were petty enough to play his game. Really, sending him drugged patients that he couldn't actually mess with? Now that was hitting below the belt.

Although this doctor did seem to be a little irritated by something. Even Gamzee could see that. He couldn't say if it had anything to do with him or if the man was just like that all the time, so he didn't presume to guess. Maybe the man hadn't gotten to eat his first meal of the day yet either.
"But it's aight, brother," he assured him. "I ain't broke."
/spanks self for being a bad, bad therapist...
Well...
"If you're not broke, then here's a fun game for you to play," he started, grinning as though he were just as excited for said game as he hoped Goose would be, "Pretend that you are for the next, say, forty-five minutes, and I'll make sure the nurses give you something even more special than your pie juice next time they shoot you up. How's that sound?"
There was no tolerance for this kind.

Did he know anyone who needed... what was he getting here? Special counseling-type help? Someone to listen to his problems, maybe? He'd listened to other troll's problems before. Eridan had a lot of them. Maybe if he tried acting a little more like Eridan he'd be properly playing along with whatever game the man was trying to get him to play right now. He slouched a little in his seat, attempting to look thoughtful and not succeeding all that well.
"Is it I should be gettin' to you about some fuckin' quadrant issues?"
no subject
Maybe, just maybe if he pretended himself to be broken then happy-go-goosey would react similar to another idiot Cox knew and get so confused that he'd shut off again. There was just enough of a chance for that to happen that Cox was willing to part with a few of his precious breaths by holding them in.
no subject
As it was, he just sort of zoned out again. What else did the doctor want him to do?
no subject
Cox didn't smile for the action however. Instead he pulled his hands down, pressed his palms together and, turning his eyes to the ceiling, mouthed out a silent "Thank you" to whatever being might have been listening to him up there.
