Because psychology is a degree about research. All research degrees require at least upper level statistics so you as an individual is capable of analyzing such data and numerical information.

Bio
I suppose that I am a little more social at the moment. Not very much so. I'm getting back into the grooves of my own thing.
Archer seemed to have that caring and gentle atmosphere around him at all times. The one that most patients wanted in a doctor. A faint smile could be seen when Alice thanked the Russian man who was leaving and Archer had to glance back, wondering what he did. He was an interesting man and one that seemed to have odd wounds or requests when it came to medical help. The man has even bought syringes from the hospital which caught the medical man’s attention, but they sold them, so he couldn’t say anything about it. It wasn’t illegal to buy syringes but there were plenty of reasons why someone would purchase those but he had none.
Then he had to let out a faint laugh when the man called him, the savior of Sanctuary, finding it funny that he earned that title with at least one individual. “I believe you give me too much credit,” He offered the more humble side of himself. The side that came naturally in most interactions. The doctor did not see himself as a savior but as a helper.
As the man began to put donuts into the bakery display, Archer seemed to glance in curiosity at what he was doing and what they had. Levi was naming some good ones, but he felt like he wanted the simple cake donut with white frosting and sprinkles. “I am a doctor but I am not a dentist. Sugar isn’t bad unless that is the main thing you consume in your diet,” The one that would tell you about sugars the most was a dentist. Archer warned people about overconsumption of sugars but mainly left long speeches for the diabetics and others who could be negatively affected by sugars.
“I’ll take a dirty chai, a blueberry muffin if you have one, and a frosted covered donut with sprinkles,” That seemed like a good order for a day off. “How is that for such a healthy doctor?” Archer jokingly gestured his hand at the donut case that he had ordered.

Thomas noticed the individual on their bike right away and she seemed to have a friendly atmosphere while approaching. He returned to that similar atmosphere with a friendly smile, “Yes?” Putting all of his attention on the woman that seemed to be ready to inquire about something. Keeping an approachable look as he put his hands on his hips.
“Welcome to Sanctuary, we are happy to always see new faces 'n aah'm chief 'n sheriff Fischer,” Right when the woman asked about the grocery store, he began to run on his heel and he pointed in a direction to another side of the downtown area which was not blocked off. Pointing towards the gas station down the road as he put his attention on the woman.
“If ya ride down that way 'n git by the gas station, ya will see the grocery store across the road from it. It's small but nice,” Thomas was always happy to help someone out when they needed it. They did not have any large superstores or anything in the town. Nothing too big. All casual and small establishments in the city and most civilian-owned businesses. Family-owned. Small town.
Deciding to add a few more things, he politely added, “If ya need anythin' else, ya can always ask, don't be a stranger now,'' Wanting the people of Sanctuary to feel comfortable around him. He was trying his best to be on most people’s good side. Location Festival - Police Department Booth Time Morning Mood Content Interaction(s)@Expendable
The woman had a pleasant handshake, strong, but he could feel how soft her palm was. Indicating that the woman might not have found herself in physical labor. She was a mayor's assistant after all. He would be slightly surprised if her hands were too beat up. “Aah did. Aah appreciate your praise,” The acknowledgments and thanks for the things he did felt good though he didn’t know if it should be considered hard work… Rubbing the back of his neck at the thought. Don’t say anything. Don’t say anything. Don’t say anything. Already knowing he made himself look somewhat dumb or at least dumb in his eyes. Thomas decided that he would keep his mouth shut about how the work wasn’t that hard.
Going over and helping Tim, Thomas continued to listen to the woman who was speaking to him. “Oh, aah can promise ya they-yur will be quite a few bags of ice. Ya can thank the po-leese department fo-wah that vote,” Ice was already put into the discussion and already voted on by the police department. It was going to be a nice day out and probably hot, so they all thought it would be a good idea to put ice in the tank. Keep ice in a cooler as well to re-ice the tank as the day goes by.
“It was a pleasure to become acquainted with ya! Aah will keep that en mind!” Thomas waved her off and almost dropped something doing so. Catching the item at the last moment and giving an awkward grin to Tim, who did not look amused and startled. The duo began to set everything quickly. This was going by way more smoothly with a partner than it was when Thomas was alone working on it. Getting the dunk tank up first, so Thomas could run a hose to begin filling it up.
Everything else was being set up while the dunk tank was filling with water. The food station and the K9 companion game were being set up as well. Everything for the police department booth was coming along smoothly at this point.
As he was checking out how the booth looked, Thomas ended up tripping backward on the hose and falling square on his ass while catching himself on his elbows. Luckily he wore a long-sleeve shirt that protected his skin. “Ophf!” The man let out a noise as he lay there on the ground for a few seconds before sitting up. Slowly rising to his feet while he began to pat the dirt and dust from him.

It was weird how the majority of places stated they would be closed today or have limited access even to the local clinic and emergency establishment. The hospital administration in Sanctuary put Archer on call and told him that he wasn’t needed unless his pager notified him, so he had to keep his phone volume up and his pager on. Since he was new to the small town, they wanted him to immerse himself into the community and meet everyone out of work terms.
Walking up to the doors of the Cozy Bear Cafe, it seemed like a sweet little establishment and he has been there a few times. Usually in the morning if he doesn’t go to work early or on his first break or lunch. It really depends on his schedule but this seemed to be his favorite spot to stop in for a dirty chai and something to snack on.
Archer opened the door and was faced with an unamused but familiar face, “Mister Anderelli, a pleasure to run into you outside of the hospital,” The doctor stepped to the side while holding the door open for the silvery-blonde man with cloud blue eyes.
Moxi walked out with a smirk on his face, “You do beautiful vorrrk doctorrr —” The Russain took a drink of his tea while locking eye contact with the Scottish man. They stared at each other for a few more seconds before the thick accent broke the silence, “Hopefully, ve kan meet on morrre kasual terrrms. Till next time,” Dipping his head to the doctor as he exited the cafe and began to disappear down the street.
Archer stepped a few feet into the cafe as the door shut behind him and a faint and friendly smile was expressed with soft eyes. A man that truly cared and saw the world in a gentle light even with darkness around him. Stepping up to the counter, “It’s a beautiful day for a festival, isn’t it?” Asked the individual at the counter as he began to look at the menu. He knew what he wanted, but he wanted to see if anything else stuck out from the menu today. Trying new things wasn't a bad idea from time to time. Location Cozy Bear Cafe Time Morning Mood Content and good Interaction Levi @The Muse and a brief one with Moxi
Moxi’s eyes scanned the man that was coming around the register before putting his eyes back on the woman taking his order. Alice. At first he didn’t answer the man right away. It was almost as if Levi was invisible to the man but he decided that he would be more open to the idea of talking to people when the brunette man continued to ask questions, “Euphorrria,” His tone sounded slightly annoyed because the man was so hooked up on the Eu part of the name.
“Eulogy is when you give speech to someone who has passed. Usually at zeirrr funerrral and Eugenics is study of desirrrable rrreprrroductive trrraits in human species,” The man’s typical expression was that unamused look, but he chuckled at the man’s guesses. Finding it amusing. Levi even got the Russian man to crack a faint smile before it quickly disappeared.
Thinking about the next question, How are you liking Sanctuary? Moxi shrugged his shoulders at the question. He wasn’t sure but he hasn’t been here for too long, so he was still learning about the town and the people. “It borrring but pleasant,” Grabbing the items as they were passed over to him. The man raised a brow in question as to why the man was giving him his items for free.
“Zank you,” Moxi ended up taking his wallet out anyway and put a fifty dollar bill in the tip jar. That was somewhat to get back at Levi for not allowing him to pay, but he stared at the man and took a drink of his tea before turning on his heel and beginning to walk out.

Thomas swore that he could hear the beginnings of giggling and laughter but the woman seemed to override her response. He didn’t know how to feel about the potential laughter he would get from her and no laughter from her at all. She thinks aah'm an idiot… was the string of thought that popped up into his head while rubbing the nap of his neck. Looking slightly embarrassed at the moment, since she probably was hoping for something else in the police chief and sheriff.
No outwardly emotion was shown with how he was embarrassed or internally ragging on himself for ruining the first impression with the mayor’s assistant. “It was lovely to meet your acquaintances as well,” That goofy and almost awkward expression accompanied by the smile fell into a friendlier look with warmth to his smile. Lending out his hand for a handshake before fully processing the last part of what she said.
Then he went to open his mouth to protest for help. He should have called one of the department members to help him. Quickly, he kept his words to himself as the woman shouted for someone named Tim. The volunteer looked awfully familiar and Thomas was pretty sure he knew Tim’s family but not necessarily Tim, probably his dad or something. He kept these thoughts to himself while dipping his head to Tim, “Oh-oh, mah foot is fine aah promise. Aah will be en the dunk tank later miss 'n that should be all mah foot needs,'' Thomas was not going to allow himself to accept the ice. That would be the most embarrassing part. Accepting ice for a clumsy accident that barely hurt. It still kind of stings tho… Those thoughts caused him to glance down at his foot that the tables fell on and the smile on his face fell as he thought about it.
“Mah foot is good. Don't worry about it,” Thomas waved it off to indicate that he was physically fine. “Also thank ya, aah appreciate the help,” At this point, he couldn’t decline or reject the help, Tim was right there. Plus Jewel tried her best to get help for him so he should use it while he could.
Noticing Tim was trying to unload the trailer by himself, he sighed, “Oh, don't do that!” The man raised his hand as he raised his voice to get Tim’s attention and he glanced back at Jewel with a smile. “Ya can call meh Thomas by the way. If ya want. Aah hope that isn't too informal —-” The man was starting to tell himself to shut up. He was talking way too much at this point. “—Okay. —” He had no clue what he needed to do with his hands at this point and he ended up crossing them awkwardly across his chest since he was just moving them. “—- Aah've to go unload the trailer. Aah should help time - Tim. Aah mean Tim...” Those words caused his hands to move as he pointed both thumbs behind him where Tim would be.
Oh god…I hope the mayor doesn’t fire me for being a complete idiot to his assistant… Anxieties bubbled up as he quickly walked over to Tim and started helping unload the trailer. The top of his cheekbones was hinted slightly pink from his horrible first impression. He began to focus on directing Tim as the other man helped him unload the trailer and truck.

Now remember, he needed these words. These were words of inspiration. Yes? Maybe!? Inhaling sharply with an awkward smile as Titus began to explain what he needed to do. The shaking of his nerves felt worse than they actually were. He has been here for several years, what if he cannot act anymore? He can do this. You can do this Kristo. Don’t worry. Internally giving himself a pep talk.
Carefully, Kristo listened to the man that was explaining the whole ordeal. Take Titus to Vito, got it… This should be easy enough. Unless there are multiple people called Vito — That idea was shoved out of his mind quickly since he didn’t want to worry about that. “Take you to Vito and keep the conversation at a minimum. Got it. Minimal conversation…” The man rocked on his heels for a few seconds as he repeated those words in his head. He needed to remember to keep a minimal conversation and not to allow himself to go on tangents.
“My name is Gregory and I am a new recruit but don’t tell anyone that. This means I am not well versed in everything but well enough to know my job. I am a new recruit and I need to show utter respect to my superiors that means I only talk when talked to and I keep it short and sweet. Action.” Inhaling sharply as he waved his hand over his face and that usual goofy smile and brightness in his eyes all changed. A serious expression with dull-boring eyes went past the helmet and he looked miserable. Something that was helping him during this time was those moments when Mhin ruined his knitting project. It was making him somewhat sad which helped put on this persona.
Grabbing Titus by the cuffs, he began to lead him down the hallway. A whisper from the man could be heard, his voice colder than usual and plain in tone, “Any directions you want to give? Probably a good idea to give them now before we run into anyone else.” Kristo was really putting on a character, he talked himself into it, and now he was doing it.

Everyone and everything was beginning to set up and the festival was slowly but surely coming together. He was not surprised that the area was already bustling with activity. It kind of reminded him of his days on the university grounds. When events were happening, everyone was going out and about. When they weren’t, it sometimes reminded you of a ghost town.
It was odd to see more stands this year compared to last year, a weird realization that the town was slowly getting bigger annually. The main thing he was looking forward to was seeing all of the carefree individuals who were going to enjoy today. Hearing a feminine voice in the distance that he could not place, she sounded like she was trying to help everyone with setup, and so on. Not really paying attention because he had known his location and stall type.
Taking a few steps back as he began to rub the back of his neck, “Aah should have forced one of the other officers to help meh out,'' Mumbling to himself before he got back to what he was doing. Unloading the trailer.
Thomas didn’t realize that someone else was in the vicinity and hearing the voice caused him to jump slightly and the two fold out tables that he had in his hands landed on his one foot. “Cracker snaps 'n pop rocks,” Was the words he used instead of saying what he wanted to from the weight slamming down on his foot.
With the items still on his foot since he couldn’t process or deal with that at this exact second, he had a friendly smile nonetheless, “That's meh, the chief,” His voice cracked in a sense as he pulled his foot out from under the weight of the tables and completely ignored the fact that the tables fell on his foot in the first place as he walked over to the woman. “Aah really appreciate the offer but aah reckon aah've this,” Glancing over his shoulder at the tables that fell on his foot only a moment before looking back at the woman and smiling slightly more awkwardly. Maybe a little embarrassment lingered in his expression. Definitely a little goofy looking.
“Aah don't reckon that aah know your name, miss?” A part of him was feeling dumb because he felt like he should know who she is. He thought her voice sounded familiar but not at the same time. Maybe he heard it on the radio or T.V. or just around town somewhere? Gosh. He couldn’t guess it if he tried.

The faint light that was coming through the bay windows of the penthouse on top of the nightclub Euphoria could be seen in the early mornings. The faint smoke of a cigarette would slowly rise into the air and continuously be puffed in sporadic ways as a man relaxed in one of the expensive and nicely cushioned deck chairs. Relaxed in a position that he could fall asleep in while staring up at the morning stars and awaiting the sunrise.
Typically, Moxi could be seen on the balcony of his penthouse in the early hours and the late hours of the day. Usually with a cigarette and a short drink in his hand, but he was not drinking this morning. The man only allowed himself to drink during the nighttime.
8 AM
By the time eight in the morning rolled around, the man found himself in the same spot he was in at five in the morning. He watched the sunrise and finished his cigarette hours ago, but he decided to relax in the deck chairs before he had to get up and make himself breakfast. Deciding to finally stand up and go inside, Moxi found himself in the kitchen quickly as he looked through the fridge. Deciding. Deciding. Deciding. Cook or not to cook? That was the real question.
The man decided that he was not going to cook for himself today and already being dressed, the man decided to leave the building as a whole and walk his way to the downtown area of Sanctuary where he would find the many shops that were opening up around this time. It seemed to be busier than usual and he remembered, “I forrrgot festival is today…” mumbling to himself as he made it into one of the shops. It was a small cafe and there were a few people, but he didn’t spend much time acknowledging anyone. Walking up to the register and offering a friendly smile, “I vill orrrder number seven on everrrything bagel and I vill have tea vith thrrree sugarrrs. Larrrge,” Moxi at least left his penthouse today, but he didn’t know if he would join in at the festival or not. Going over to the area where most people waited, he stood as he waited for his name and order to be called out.

Ever since he became chief of police and sheriff, Thomas Fischer has made it his goal to build better community relationships between the people of Sanctuary and the local police department. Making it his mission to always include something from the police department in local events and festivals around the year. A part of him truly did believe that building better relationships helped improve the jobs of the officers. The officers could do their job in protecting and helping the community and the community could put their trust in them on a formal and informal foundation.
Maybe this was influenced by his youth days in Sanctuary when his house was broken into and his mother was taken away from him too young. He felt like the officers did not do much to ease or improve the situation that the Fischers were placed in. In his teen years, he always heard the adults talk badly about the police department and maybe that’s when the fire sparked. He wanted to make Sanctuary a safer and better place. He wanted to be known for improving the force and so on. That was exactly what he has been doing since getting on the force and he is proud that he was voted into the sheriff and chief position years ago.
The festival was a big deal and he allowed the individuals with families to have the day off or be on call, so they could enjoy the annual festival. The others would be participating at the police department stand that he had planned for this festival. Making sure the trailer was appropriately hooked up to the back of his truck, Thomas was trying to get everything ready first thing in the morning. Waking up at 5 AM like usual and getting a light breakfast at home or at one of the local restaurants or cafes, he has been at the department since roughly 6:30 in the morning. Knowing the festival did not start till 2 in the afternoon, the man wanted to make sure everything was up and ready around noon.
Around eight this morning, he went around the area of the festival and placed roadblocks, slow zone signs, and children at play signs to make sure the area was safe. It would at least help lower incidents that could possibly happen. Continuously loading materials into the back of his truck and onto the trailer, he sighed while placing his hands on his hips and stretching back slightly. Looking up into the sky.
“Aah caint believe aah'm sore today…” Thomas must have slept wrong or something. His shoulder was bothering him or maybe it was the fact that he wasn’t requesting any help while loading heavy things into his truck alone. The items were not that heavy… at least he would say they weren’t. Currently, he had a few fold-out tables and chairs packed in, the dunk tank, and a few K9 training items for something he had in mind.
A few of the officers were excited about the dunk tank idea and wanted to participate right away. They got their leader, Thomas Fischer, to even agree to be in the dunk tank for at least thirty minutes during the festival. This part of their booth was going to be free along with the K9 canine game that he would be setting up for children. The dunk tank was for smiles and laughs. The K9 game would allow kids to win stickers themed around the local police department, candy, and ice cream coupons for the local ice cream joint. A part of him was already regretting his agreement to be in the dunk tank. “Maybe aah could tell 'em that aah forgot mah swim trunks,” Joking to himself as he knew that was not going to work at all. They would throw him into the tank fully suited up if they would have to. He had to keep his word at this point.
Beginning to crank down the ratchet as he tightened everything to secure it onto the trailer. His plan was to get everything set up and ready to go by noon so they could begin filling the tank around then, setting up the food stand part, and everything else. Getting into his truck, he was at the festival location or at least where the booth would be within fifteen to twenty minutes.
Stepping out of his truck, the vehicle was turned off at this point, and he began to untighten everything and start at it. Other than the two games that they were having for free, the police department's booth was going to have meals for $5. This would give the option of a burger or hot dog with the choice of chips and a various amount of options for drinks. All the drinks were children friendly. Bottles of water, juice boxes, and a variety of canned pop.
As he began to put the dunk tank together, the man realized this was going to be more difficult alone but not impossible to do. It caused his shoulder to ache a little more than he wanted it to, but he was working through it.
