That's good to hear, we can just do after hours if we can't get an appointment in the next week. [Because he was absolutely going to break in to use an MRI machine if they couldn't and at least whenever I try to get an MRI for elderly family, its like a month out-]

I do know a plant that is somewhat similar. A Kratom could have those effects. Though that isn't a flower, its more a thin tree. Its considered a stimulating opioid over a depressant.

But really the important part is I do have alchemical knowledge, and usually when a plant is helping something, its really a part of the plant. So if we can think of plants that achieve a certain effect, we might able to work backwards from there and just find another plant that would hopefully have the same chemical.

[happydreamed]

I can pull a few strings, but failing that, yes, I will help you sneak into my place of work after hours.

[forgingfires]

Excellent. Have you interpreted MRI's before?

[happydreamed]

Yes, but not very frequently.

[forgingfires]

But that is still a basis, which is good, saves us time. Do you want me to pick up books on neurology to help brush up on the subject?

[happydreamed]

That would be very kind of you, thank you very much. There should be some at the clinic, but a wider range of material never hurts.

[forgingfires]

Precisely. Especially since there has to be a little guesswork to start.

I'm also going to see if there's any MRIs done on a hibernating animal. Mortals like to do weird experiments like that, there's surely something.

[happydreamed]

I wouldn't be surprised if there was. We do appreciate learning more about how the brain works, and what makes a human brain different from an animal's.

[forgingfires]

I'll keep looking. There's been a few books that have explained it fairly well. How familiar are you with what the body goes through with hibernation?

[happydreamed]

Not very, I'm afraid. None of the sentient species in my home hibernate.

[He's a doctor, not a veterinarian.]

[forgingfires]

I thought that might be the case. I'll bring some of the books I've been reading, the more theories we have on how its working in her case the better.

[happydreamed]

I'll study them thoroughly. Thank you for all your assistance.

[forgingfires]

[Another delay. Because he's still unused to Thank Yous.]

Of course. If I'm going to do something, then I'm going to give it my all.

[happydreamed]

An admirable quality that more people should emulate.

[forgingfires]

They should, yes.

So don't give up on her. Even when it hurts.

There will be a solution.

[happydreamed]

I know. I'll do everything I possibly can.

[forgingfires]

Good. We have science and magic. And if that all doesn't work, I have two other options, its just a lot more risky for all involved.

[happydreamed]

What are the other options?

[You can't just say that and not expect him to ask.]

[forgingfires]

One involves a nightmare realm, so trust me when I say we're really best to just leave them for last.

[happydreamed]

Ah. I won't inquire further unless they become necessary, then.

[forgingfires]

Yes, but my point is, the options are numerous and many are viable to try even if she hibernates to reawaken past memories.

It's important to not give up on someone you love, even if it seems hopeless.

[happydreamed]

...She mentioned my weakness in the matter, didn't she.

[forgingfires]

Yes.

[happydreamed]

The person I was based on was forgotten before, and reacted badly. Worse than running. Those weren't 'my' actions, but neither am I entirely a different person than that.

[forgingfires]

Person you were based on?
