OOC: Healing Heart?

[fallenpips.livejournal.com]

I've been considering the possibility of taking up a grouchy old surgeon in the Hearts suit for a second card. Is there any particular Hearts history for my gnome to be aware of, or for me to be aware of as I make him?

Currently, my ideas are centered around a bitter nudgenik who'd rather deal with stuffy noses and such than backstabbings--oy, does he kvetch about the backstabbings! It'd be a more humorous character than Isadore, but in some ways a sadder one. There'd be room for background ties--Elisha, for example, would have someone to speak Hebrew around, as Itzhak Operman came into my head as reminding me of a Jewish uncle of mine.

I adore this idea. XD I'm already imagining the bitchy conversations in Hebrew.

Elisha says he never bitches, but I call bullshit on that.

Whenever anyone asks what they're talking about, Itzhak probably waves it off, saying something about his time as a combat medic (or maybe a hospital corpsman, if I want naval slang and Yiddish all in one god-forsaken package).

Elisha will be like, different methods of field dressing, obviously. There is a ball coming up again, after all.

"Oy, a ball. Just another chance to sit around and schmooze with the kids and nosh...

...and maybe see someone plotz in the middle of it all. Vey iz mir, all this gevalt."

I feel like there ought to be bagels and lox involved in this conversation.

And some good schmear. You know, the kind with the green things in it--the chives, yes? And schmaltz herring.

(Can't wait to go home from work and create this account now.)

And coffee. There can't be kvetching over the state of things without coffee to go with the schmear and the lox.

Do it. Do iiiiiiiit.

Gotta finish up at work--can't create an account here. But yes, it will be done. His voice is too strong in my head not to.

Excellent. XD
