Dr Reed

Dr. reed is the general doctor in charge of and most likely to communicate and perform daily check ins with the occupants of the pod

## Backstory

They went to some prestigious college, got degrees, became a well respected psychologist, etc. Started performing unethical experiments and word got out, they got a pretty bad rep after that, and so when they heard of the pods from lime (?) they agreed to work there

## Current Life

Running the pods. Gaslighting gatekeeping and girlbossing (girl not required) /j

## Relationships

##### Dr. Lime (spouse)

they feel like they should be able to trust her; they're partners, they have the same views on science (dr lime has just turned up the knob to the highest degree ), and they both run the pods. *But* lime has roped them into this genesis and genocide thing, they aren’t sure how, and they keep assuring themselves that she knows what she’s doing and they agreed so it’ll be fine, but there is definitely a part in the back of their mind that doubts thon. That suspicion is only emphasized by the fact that lime keeps so many secrets, and is away on secret meetings so often

##### Mx. Fox (intern)

They are intrigued. They see mx fox as basically another person to study, but treat kit with more respect than they would someone in the pods. They feel somewhat in the same boat with the like neither of them know what lime is doing

##### Dr. Big Guy mcgee (idk)

Not much opinion on them impressed they managed to talk dr lime into paying them but not that bothered bc lime controls all the payroll anyways so it’s no money out of their pocket. Sus but also interested in their meth for experiment purposes

##### That One Random Tourist

They see them as another person to study like mx fox. They’re unsure how she gets into their office. Why does he know so much why is he so friendly. They’re very much opposite personalities

##### JONK69

Jonk is very interesting. They go along with most all of the experiments but detest doing them at the same time. If dr lime wasn’t involved, they probably would’ve had wildly different plans for jonk, but even so jonk remains very much like a figure of interest for them in lime’s plan bc then they might finally be able to figure out what the plan *is*

##### LE73

Insufferable but also probably the most interesting of the subjects. Ey’ve been alive longer than any human dr Reed has seen, and they’re very interested to see how that effects eir mind

##### EL311379

Confused maybe? theyre impressed she tried to like make a deal with them for freedom and is also impressed that they managed to literally make the deal Nothing Changes and she took it. Doesn’t think she really knows anything important, probably a ploy for escape

##### CO204

Interested but not as intensely as most everyone else. They preform the experiments and provide good information, though it’s unclear whether they’re sane /lh

##### LI1117

Same as co2004, probably. Maybe minus the sane part shes probably the sanest here

##### JA14203

Neutral? He doesn’t contribute much to the experiments so he doesn’t give much information there but he also provides an interesting pov even if it doesn’t seem to be of much use yet

##### TO7034

Neutral as well, they know next to nothing about her

### In Announcements:

I am making soup

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve made a villain character in an au and then grown attached to them through piling nd traits onto them I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Maybe pizza is the lore you don’t know

This is the best part of pods bc while on one side you have like dramatic roleplay and lore /pos and then on the other there’s just. Timothee chalamet is here now. He’s in a pod. He’s on the ranking board. You can’t do anything about it /pos too

You all canonically have a giraffe in your pods now

Hello cob

**Hello. I’m taking a great risk even broadcasting this, but Dr Lime is out and I’m not waiting any longer. I.. am sorry. I’ve done things that I shouldn’t have, and I realize that. I’ve flown too close to the metaphorical sun, and I’m going to pay the price. But you were uninvolved from the start. But I also can’t just open the door and let you stride out. Dr Lime doesn’t hold my newfound sentiment, and they are, after all, returning soon. I’ve left you clues as well as I can. Search through my past messages. Your first clue is Daedalus. I know I will never make it up to some of you, but I hope I can at least get you out of this situation I’ve doomed you all to. [arg]**

### In the Lab:

**(Dr Reed enters the lab, striding to a computer and inputting data from the most recent experiment. While it loads, they turn to Fox. “What do you think of 9146PL?”**

**They move their papers aside moving to look at Dr Reed “the ones with the meth?”**

**“That’s the one”)**

**(Dr. reed- it’s strangely humbling that I should be compared to the god of medicine**

**Mx. Fox- A god of medicine which surpassed even his own father and brought people back from the dead**

**Dr. reed- an impressive feat**

**Mx. Fox- But let’s not forget his tragic ending)**

**I’m afraid I know little more than you… Dr Lime’s mind—plan, act, whatever you want to call it— is a twisting labyrinth, and few make it past the entrance. I figure we’re all stuck in the middle somewhere.**

**hm. You know, and this is unrelated, I find the concept of heroes and villains—Theseus and the Minotaur—fascinating. There have been experiments; babies would rather watch videos where something *exciting* and *dramatic* happens and someone *saves the day*, rather than a boring show of day to day life. *Conflict*, Mx Fox, is what drives the human experience. and there can’t be conflict without a villain.**

**listen. take notes. practice when needed. \*they start talking about brain surgery pretend it’s cool and sciencey I don’t know shit about it\***

### In POD Jonk69:
