Between bites, he sips only water, evading all questions where opinion is sought.<br> It is only when the subject turns to his trade that something flickers inside him, old memories of pain and pride. "I fear it was my training that let me see the world for what it was - its corpus infested by malignancies with human faces. How could I dare face Hippocrates in the hereafter if I just stood by and did nothing? <i>Nothing!</i>"<br> His eye meets yours for the first time; fierce, damned. "If two drops of medicine can cure the body, could two drops of poison cure the world? For a moment, it actually seemed that easy."<br> The fire fades. He pushes back his chair.

I fear I have had my fill for today." <ul> [[File:SS gossipsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Intriguing Snippet]]<p></p> [[File:SS suppliessmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Supplies]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] </ul> | |- | {{action title|Invite him to drink with you}} The Haunted Doctor has kept to himself since dinner.

For that sop to my conscience, I am most ashamed of all."<br> The wine flows as the Haunted Doctor talks candidly of his past - of a status that allowed him to the bedsides of many of London's most infamous, and the black medicine bag that carried the tools of both his trades - doctor, and anarchist-poisoner.<br> "I was a fool," he adds. "A <i>child.</i> Just a boy on a crusade, drinking in the rhetoric of the Calendar Council, thinking myself more than a mere poisoner. What I did, I do not regret. Would though that I had seen their true hearts before giving myself so freely to perdition."<br> He raps his leather eyepatch. The sound is hollow; sickly. "It is a disappointment I well deserved. The Lady taught me that much, at least. I... No. Another time, perhaps. The hour grows late. I thank you for the company." <br> ''Game note: <span style="color:teal;">The Doctor may have more to say after you've visited a place that touches his old interests.</span>''<br> <ul> [[File:SS gossipsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Intriguing Snippet]]<p></p> [[File:SS scaryeyesmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Tale of Terror!!]]<p></p> [[File:SS bottle2small.png|23px]] <span style="color:red;">-1</span> x [[Cask of Mushroom Wine]]<p></p> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] <span style="color:green;">+1</span> x [[Learning About: the Haunted Doctor]] </ul> | |- | {{action title|A request from the Haunted Doctor}} He asks it quietly, almost with embarrassment, as he sutures a crewman's wound. | <ul> [[File:SS haunteddoctorsmall.png|23px]] [[Learning About: The Haunted Doctor]] = 5 </ul> | {{effect title|A visit to Khan's Shadow?}} "Our recent conversations have left me... nostalgic," the Haunted Doctor admits. His voice shakes slightly, though his fingers do not. "Should a suitable opportunity arise, I would remind myself that there are still those who dare to dream of a better world. It has been too long since I warmed my hands on such passion."<br> He snips the thread.
