Good. Tell me when you have some time for it.
For total clarity, these are very finicky spells, a total recall is rare.
Generally its just important things, important moments, close bonds, things of that nature.
Though between the same body, same soul, and the recordings, it does make her odds very good.
But that finickiness is why its a back up plan.

[happydreamed]

The more options we have available, the better.

I don't have shifts at the clinic on the weekend, so that would be the best time for me.

[forgingfires]

Very true.
Plus its important to have hope.
Even if we hit the time limit, there are options, its just the results will not be as immediate.
I'll see you on the weekend.

[happydreamed]

I look forward to it.

How have you been?

[forgingfires]

I have been abke to keep busy, between quests and research.

And Saya and I had a




Very interesting chat and I felt I should ask about it.

[happydreamed]

Yes? I'm happy to answer any questions you have.

[forgingfires]

[There is so much typing and erasing happening on the other side for like...a solid five minutes.]

She offered to bed me.

[happydreamed]

Oh, I see. Would you like me to endorse her as an excellent choice of partner, then?

[forgingfires]

[Yet more minutes of typing and erasing.]

No, I just wanted to be sure it wouldn't be a problem.

[happydreamed]

Not at all. You two have fun.

[forgingfires]

I


Thank you?

[happydreamed]

You're welcome. If there's anything else that would set you at ease, please let me know.

[forgingfires]

No, no, I don't think so.

How have you been?

[happydreamed]

Doing fine, all things considered. There are a number of cute animal quests that I've been undertaking.

[forgingfires]

You have a fondness for animals?

[happydreamed]

I do! Cats especially. I would love to adopt one of those void cats, but one of our housemates is allergic.

[forgingfires]

[A pause.]

What is allergic?

[Isolated immortal has weird knowledge of the current world]

[happydreamed]

When a body has a negative reaction in the immune system to a not normally harmful substance, like peanuts or pet hair.

[forgingfires]

Ah, another instance of the body lying to itself and getting a reaction?

[happydreamed]

Along those lines, yes. An overzealous immune system attempts to protect the body from the material and ends up causing more harm itself.

[forgingfires]

Good to know, especially with the project.

Speaking of, I wanted to ask what kind of medical knowledge you have. I know a smattering of things from osmosis and some alchemical studies, but certainly not enough if her solution is more science based than magic.

[happydreamed]

[...A surprisingly difficult question.]

In my home village, I was the only doctor and therefore dealt with general issues for everyone - both treating illness and caring for injury. I mixed my own medicine, although without the same plants available as at home, my ability to do so here is limited. I would hardly call myself an expert on genetics or any specialized field, but I am capable as a general practitioner.

[forgingfires]

Are you familiar with modern medical machines? X-ray and MRI's? Machines that let you see the bones and inside people's skulls without dismemberment.

I don't suppose you know the chemical make up of the plants? Though their names might help, depending...

[happydreamed]

I can operate medical imaging equipment, yes. We had those in my home world.

[Although Clover Hospital was... a questionable medical facility for a number of reasons.]

I don't know the chemicals offhand, but the most potent medicine from my home comes from the Yama-Basho.

[forgingfires]

Good, I want to get Saya an MRI. We probably won't know something is truly effective until the time she would be feeling the effects of an encroaching hibernation and knowing what's different in her brain will likely help a lot.

We could see if any otherworlder medical professional recognizes it. Considering how many worlds produce humans specifically, it isn't out of the realm of possibility people might know plants.

The name isn't familiar to me though. A picture and what it usually treats wouldn't hurt though.
