This You Will Be The One Worth Knowing

lmaoo. well, after consulting my executive assistant (rachel) ive percolated two possibilities. also i know? i think? poison control is a National Number but for yaoi purposes we are pretending its a Local Thing in which the buckies would be living in the same area and know that. post that prompted this anon

a. gale being the one that's actually working at poison control and john being a frequent flyer on the line because of ridiculous accidents and it eventually getting to a point where after multiple of his calls get routed to gale, john gets bold and asks for his number

or...angstier...tw suicide attempt

John leaned back a fraction in his chair, one elbow settling against the armrest. He'd heard embarrassment a thousand different ways over the years. People apologized for not watching their kids, for mixing medications, for calling in the middle of the night -- the fact that they weren't exactly waking him up out of bed never seemed to matter to that end somehow.

“Hey,” He said gently. “Nothing to be embarrassed about Gale. What's your roommate's name?"

“Ev, yeah.” Gale answered almost immediately. “We're, uh. we're in flight school together, well, not me anymore I guess, but 'showwemet.”

A short, brittle laugh escaped him before dying almost as soon as it had begun.

“Okay,” John said after a moment, his tone practical in a way he hoped felt reassuring rather than detached. "You want to keep me on while you go wake your buddy up you can, I’ve got no problem with that."

For the first time since the call had begun, Gale didn't answer immediately. John could hear scrape of a chair against the floor, and footsteps that started hesitant but grew a little quicker.

Eventually, a muffled, groggy voice came onto the line.

"Hello?"

John straightened when he realized he didn't recognize it.

“Hey,” He replied. “Am I talking to Ev?"

“Yeah,” The man said, sounding thoroughly confused. John heard what might have been a yawn hastily swallowed. “Who is this?”

“My name's John. I'm one of the specialists here at Poison Control.” He said. "Your friend called us because he ingested something that was making him a little nervous. Based on what he's told me, he really should be evaluated at the hospital, and I'd appreciate your help making sure he gets there.”

John could almost hear the other man's brain catching up with what he'd just been told -- and caught the faint sound of the mattress shifting under his weight as he got up.

So, uh

Sam Neill passed away.

A lot of people know him as Dr. Grant from Jurassic Park, but Sam Neill has an incredible catalogue of film and television, stretching back to 1975 on the big screen, but he cut his teeth in university productions of Shakespearean dramas.

All this to say, Sam Neill never let himself get pigeonholed as an actor. He was an incredibly versatile actor with a plethora of roles and genres to his name.

And that's not even touching upon his interests outside of acting. He was a passionate vintner (of the Two Paddocks winery) and an outspoken environmentalist who frequently spoke out against political policy that negatively affected indigenous peoples in Australia and New Zealand.

Jurassic Park is an incredible film, and I know many people have fond memories of the original trilogy.
