[The message appears not long after Rin Matsuoka's post, actually-the one about gathering support resources. Which is to say-]

Seragaki. I have a bit of a list to go over with you, if you would be willing.

Whenever you have time, naturally.

From:

taedofthisshit

I have time now.

I'm in the lab on my own. Probably the best place to catch me.

Bring a wrench. I broke the one in here.

From:

noasark

Very well then-I'll see you sh

...how did you manage That.

From:

taedofthisshit

Kicked it too hard. Don't know my own strength.

From:

noasark

You kicked

Right.

Well, I'll be there shortly.

[And indeed, he will-cat that he is, nudging the door open and trotting inside quietly. He might surprise the other, he might not, who knows, but-] Seragaki, [he greets, nodding.]

...How have you been?

From:

taedofthisshit

[She got angry at it but she wasn't going to bother with answering. Instead, she's back tinkering on her machines all until she hears the door.

Thankfully being a pooka enhances her hearing so she's turned around when Noa walks in.]

Kaiba-san. [She nods back to her boss as she comes out from underneath the small generator.]

Busy. So I suppose that's as good as I can be. And yourself?

From:

noasark

The same, I could say, [he answers, trotting in until he finds a seat.] Before I bring up this list, I had a question...not unlike what I asked...before.

Regarding the state of medicine here...what would you say is our greatest priority?

From:

taedofthisshit

You ask me as if I'm a doctor and I know supply and demand. [She is a doctor, technically, but hush.] You should ask those boys who run that clinic.

I'm interested in making physical cures for more magically orientated monsters so they don't have to entirely rely on magic, but I don't know if it's a big priority.

It honestly depends. Does it matter if it's minor or major?

From:

noasark

No, I ask it as if you're someone who cares about what they're doing-and also as the one in charge of my 'cure department', [he adds smartly.]

I will admit that the number of non-physical monsters makes it more of a backburner matter...but I can't deny the interest. Regardless-it's a general question. Offer your thoughts with both; minor could turn out to be major and vice versa, in the right situation.

From:

taedofthisshit

Hmph. I suppose.

Well... The Fog heals only so much. Tooth replacements, limbs, tissue damage... I've noticed with some monsters is that if the damage isn't too serious, it won't heal. Most of the time limbs grow back and the like but a lot of them carry a number of injuries and have a number of poorly healed scars because those don't heal. The clinic deals with those.

Although... prosthetics may be a niche market that may be worthwhile looking into...

Or maybe even work on stopping monsters from entering Fog Form without resorting to the Fourth.

Edited Date: 2018-03-25 01:02 pm (UTC)

From:

noasark

Hmmm. Indeed-not everyone can ask Mana to regrow those, and pharmaceuticals aren't the only things we're doing...awkwardly on, [he snorts, before raising a brow.] Oh?

As I recall, not even the Fourth can entirely prevent that one...are people still buying into that?

From:

taedofthisshit

No. I honestly don't know any open Fourth followers. [If they are followers she doesn't know about it]

Just something I was thinking about. I'd need DNA samples of those who are changed during the fog and then when they're not. I could do a similar experiment with someone who's permanently and temporarily changed form. There's a lot I can do. Not enough time or help to do it all.

Bah... It'd be easier to work on the teeth. I have already a set made. I've been practicing.

From:

noasark

Hmm. Considering the state of the park, I suppose it was a fair assumption...

...A shame I can't help on the fog-based forms. I can certainly shapeshift into another 'beast' under her power, but I don't have a 'fog' form... [He mutters, frowning.]

From:

taedofthisshit

Her power? Oh, right. [Followers. Bah.]

... It might be worth still studying that. You transform, take a sample. I take a sample when you're not. See if there are differences or not. Just to understand more.

From:

noasark

Mmm, yes. I've yet to hear your precise thoughts on such matters, but I try to keep an open mind with hiring suffice to say.

[Any how.] Hmmm....I suppose I could, but certainly not in this room...

[noa how large is that alt mode]

From:

taedofthisshit

What's there to say? Not much honestly.

[The woman raised an eyebrow.] How much space do you need?

From:

noasark

[He looks around the room, and frowns.] ...We'll want the roof.

[Um, Yikes.]

From:

taedofthisshit

... Yeesh. Fine. Fine. Let me get my things. You're tiny and you're also the size of a house. Fine. Whatever.

[Ignore her mumbling and grumbling as she hurries to get some nice medical equipment for study.]

From:

noasark

Hmhmhmhmhm~ [At least he's amused.] Just trust me~ You'll be glad once we're up there.

From:

taedofthisshit

So what exactly do you turn into?

[She asks as she gathers all of her things and heads to the elevator.]

From:

noasark

Mmmm....that is a good question, [He admits, trotting into the elevator and sitting.] I haven't been able to come up with anything from memory....it's likely something obscure.

I would call it a cross between a large cat...and a dragon.

From:

taedofthisshit

The cat is obvious... but a dragon... Huh. Interesting. And having that extra form is a gift from your goddess or whatever, right?

From:

noasark

Correct- it wasn't like that initially, but then I wasn't a manticore initially either.

From:

taedofthisshit

Hmph... right. Someone mentioned to me you were a naga once. How did that go for you too? Just as obscenely and obnoxiously huge?

From:

noasark

Even more enormous-my mouth, specifically, was large enough to envelop and protect most monsters as individuals.

[That's Big.]

From:

taedofthisshit

That is big...

Ugh. Huge and pointlessly difficult. I'm glad I don't have a proper fog form. Too much hassle dealing with this one as it is.

From:

noasark

There's a reason it was more of a 'special' form, than a fog form. My fog state, as a naga, was far more managable...more wild looking, that was all.

From:

taedofthisshit

... I see.

[Well, Noa? Gonna give a bit of a show or just get it over and done with?]

From:

noasark

[Yes, yes-

He pushes the door open with one hand-wing, and once they're outside he makes sure there's enough distance between himself and the entrance before seeming to stretch out-except the stretching keeps going.

The best way to describe it would be a panther-formed asian dragon, with big long wings. He's even got horns, and scales along the back...and....catfish barbels? It's odd.]

And here we are, [He rumbles, voice far deeper in this state.]

From:

taedofthisshit

[It's...

Cute.

Tae blinks as she looks up at the huge creature with wide, beady eyes for a long moment before she goes over to him with her tweezers.]

... Gonna take one of your scales and maybe hair. Sound good?

From:

noasark

[CUTE HE IS ENORMOUS HE IS A SCARY DANGEROUS BEAST stop that!!

He'll roll onto his back, just for you, paws all tucked up and everything-]

Do as you will-a feather from the wings may be a wise idea as well.

From:

taedofthisshit

[You remind her so much of Yoshie's Allmate, Clara...

Very cute...]

Yeah... of course. [She very cleanly and surgically removes the samples.] Thanks.

From:

noasark

[No stop that-]

Mnh- not a problem. Hopefully it helps with your work, hmm?

From:

taedofthisshit

Of course... I'll get to work right away. Now to just reinvent Sanger sequencing and we can really get started...

Bah. Too much work to do and not enough time.

From:

noasark

Well, don't let me waste it then-I'll be doing what I can to help streamline certain matters so that it's less of an issue in coming weeks, at any rate.

Good luck with the sequencing, on that note.

From:

taedofthisshit

Thank you. And if you can get someone who really knows industry to make us something usable to study monsters properly, that'd be great.

[She waves. And off she goes. See ya you big lump.]

There once was a boy who was a Halloween fanatic. He loved dressing up for Halloween, he loved pulling pranks and watching horror movies, and above everything else... he loved candy. One fateful year, while he went trick-or-treating, he visited a house. This house was creepy as hell! It was big, it was old, it smelled like a grandmother and it was owned by a happy, old rich couple. The boy came here thinking that he would be handed out big chocolate bars, because it was a rich person's house but when he knocked on their door... he was handed a bag of that shitty candy that nobody likes! Tootsie rolls, shitty flavoured dum-dums, those weird... peanut things... needless to say, the boy was heartbroken. He was so heartbroken that he died, right there on their porch and now, every Halloween he goes out and finds people to curse. He wants everyone to suffer the same way he did!

Everybody is already suffering from his curse!! Send this to ten people to break the curse, or to avoid getting cursed, or you'll be stuck looking freakier than usual for the rest of your life!!!!!!!!!!
