Name: Dr. Joel Fleischman, MD
Fandom: Northern Exposure
A little bit about you (as non-spoilery as possible): I'm stuck in an Alaskan town that's living proof of hell freezing over.
Conversational style: Cranky-yet-adorable.
Anything else: I think my girlfriend might be here.
Picture of you:

Where's Alaska?

*looks at you curiously*

In the United States. North. Where it may as well be a part of Canada, for all I care.

-Joel

Wow, Alaska? That's kinda far away.

Do you know much about pregnancies and babies?

*places hand on her swollen belly*

I haven't seen a doctor the whole time I've been pregnant, so anything would be great.

Ridiculously far away from everything...

*trails off, looking concerned*

You haven't seen a doctor even once? That's... *almost says 'a stupid plan', but thinks better of it*

That's really dangerous. Come on, let's get you checked out, okay? Make sure that mom and baby are both all right.

*looks down at her hands, fidgeting a little, shaking her head*

Not that I wouldn't have loved to. But we don't have any. Well there's Dahra. But she's just a fifteen year old kid with a medical diagnostic book we stole from the library.

I'm not sure her medical opinion holds much water.

*nods and smiles*

Thanks. I can't pay you. I have...well...*gestures to herself, as if to say all she has is her dirty dress and shoes*

The baby seems to be growing really fast from everything I could read about pregnancy. I'm only four months along, but...

~Diana

((She's got like a fast growing, supernatural baby thing, so she looks full term, but so isn't, haha))

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Four months? *blinks at you, looking shocked*

No. No, you're not going to worry about whether you can pay me, or anything like that. We're going to get you cleaned up, and we're going to make sure that your baby is okay, and that you're healthy. No fifteen year olds with med school textbooks for you, okay?

After that, well... shopping for women's clothes is WAY over my head, but I'm expecting my girlfriend any time now, and she's an expert when it comes to anything fashionable.

-Joel

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

Yeah, practically to the day. *nods*

*gives him an uncharacteristic hug*

Thank you. I'm pretty sure I'm lacking some of the right nutrients. Food is sparse, and the same things. Mostly fish and vegetables though, so they've got to have some of the right things in them. Everyone here has fed me lots today.

Oh, I never went to see her. I knew she wouldn't have a clue. And she was dealing with the plague and some of it's after effects.

I went to the library and read every book I could find though. I wanted to know, you know, what to expect, as best I could. It's not like I had anyone to ask.

*laughs*

Well your girlfriends help would definitely be awesome. But I only have a little money. Back where I'm from, we mostly barter. With batteries and paper...

~Diana

You're a long way form home doc.

~Fiona

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

I'm always a long way from home... which is actually New York, not Alaska.

-Joel

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

Wow. Why'd you go to Alaska? I'm not terribly far from new York. I'm from Chicago.

~Fiona

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Chicago's a great city. Especially for a baseball fan, which I am. I'm in Alaska because of a bad deal with the government that paid my way through medical school, then stuck me where the sun doesn't shine.

-Joel

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

It is a great city. I've spent my whole life there. Raised my siblings there.

*laughs*

Doesn't sound like you have a lot of love for alaska. The sun really doesn't shine there sometimes?

~Fiona

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Raised your siblings? Sounds like a tough life for a kid. Well, I guess you're not really a kid now, but you know what I mean.

No, there's not a lot of love lost between me and Alaska. And fortunately, there's only a few days of no sunlight in the winter... but the rest of it, the days are short.

-Joel

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

I guess it was. I had to grow up fast. Gave up some things. But the family got to stay together, all but once. So it was definitely worth it. I'm twenty-one now.

I think I would miss the sun. Even if I don't get out in it much.

~Fiona

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

I miss the sun, but there are things that I miss a lot more.

-Joel

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

like what?
