Hi! My name is Leah and this is Herbert West!

He's from a Lovecraft adaptation from the 80s called Re-Animator and he's basically your classic mad scientist. Morally grey. Raises the dead. Gets immediately attacked by the dead he's just raised every time and continues to do it anyway with zero precautions. You know, the usual.

He's also a tiny (5'7") 26 year old medical student who is now your only officially trained Medic. You're welcome, Carnival!

Due to the kind of shit he gets up to, he has an opt out post over here that I absolutely encourage you to use so I don't accidentally make anyone uncomfortable.

You can add me on plurk at maleabotor!

Holy shit I'm so glad you apped

One of my best friends introduced me to Re-Animator years and years ago and we always joke about how great/hilariously awful Herbert West would be in a jamjar setting. I'm super looking forward to seeing what shit he gets up to.

Also I don't think I introduced myself, I'm Possum btw. Peridot is my only character here and even though I've been super slow with the ball threads I hope we can get some more CR going in the future (icon kw relevant) :')

I'm hoping to eventually get him the Doctor Supervisor position so there's that!

Anyway HI POSSUM I'm very excited for this. I hope I can live up to the jokes and be a TERRIBLE INFLUENCE ON PERI!

Omfg THE FACT THAT HERBERT IS THE ONLY DOCTOR IN THE CARNIVAL RN IS. TRULY TERRIFYING TBH I hope he gets that supervisor position. Peridot doesn't have much reason to go by medical v. often but if they're both supervisors then they kind of have to deal w/ each other :')

I mean honestly, it's p terrifying to Herbert also. He's going to have to do the actual resuscitation and first aid garbage he'd usually just leave to Dan. Where is Dan to fob off interpersonal interaction on when you need him, truly.

Anyway YES that is true and would be excellent.

[periphrasing]

Dan is NEVER around when you need him the most lbr

Probably off with some GIRL
