What: Practice! Meet the doctor, if you haven't!
When: IC dates May 1st-3rd
Where: Medical Bay
Warnings: Medical talk may come up!



i. May 1st-3rd; practice makes perfect

[The good doctor is less absorbed by books and more focused on patients these days. She's put out the call for others to show up so that she can practice her new skill, as well as update Strange's charts. It makes her a little nervous, still. What if it doesn't work on someone? What if she discovers some anomaly she's not prepared for? What if nobody shows up anyway?]

[Angela puts those thoughts aside as she hears someone enter.]

Greetings. Here for a scan, or is something else troubling you?

[ooc: this is the ic post for mercy's scan permission post, so that we can have an interaction over the scan if you want! feel free to handwave the whole experience by just filling out the form, but if you'd like to talk to mercy or if something unusual would happen during the scan, feel free to respond here! please go here and fill out the form there! if anything abnormal would come up now that wouldn't come up normally, specify that in your reply to this post!]

A Persona is the spirit of rebellion you hold inside your heart--the powerful will that enables you to face life's challenges head on without losing hope. It's the inner strength to fight back against the entire world for the sake of your ideals--to even defy fate itself, if that's what it takes to stay true to yourself!

[Just..... ignore that dramatic pose on top of the examining table. He's completely ridiculous.]

It usually manifests as some sort of mythological trickster--a rebel you could personally identify with and admire.

[caduceusoncall]

I see.

[Of course, Angela can't help but wonder what - or who - her Persona might be if she had been born in Morgana's world. If she would even have one. She'd like to think she presses on despite it all, but modesty forces her to question whether or not it's to a fate-defying degree.]

[She smiles faintly.]

Perhaps you could teach me some of your tricks one day, then. Personally, I have been studying various forms of healing magic that focus specifically on accelerating the mending of flesh itself, rather than ones that call upon external forces or deities. While this is effective, it's hardly efficient. The wound will still take time to close and heal, from what I understand.

It could be useful to have a spell that works more quickly or completely.

[Or at least one with a less scientific approach attached. She's starting to get the feeling, through using this new spell, that intention and instinct matter more in casting and controlling magic than understanding every tiny facet of the spell's function.]

[meowna]

It all comes from you, not some other force or god; if you use those sorts of powers too much, you exhaust yourself. But sure! I'd be glad to help, especially if it makes it easier to take care of people around here.

[Have an exaggerated side eye and a mock conspiratorial tone. Healer woes, right?]

Some of them seem reckless enough that they'd need efficient healing, after all.

[caduceusoncall]

Thank you. Er, I don't believe I ever asked your name? Apologies. I have been doing that a lot lately. I have been too eager to practice.

[She smiles apologetically.]

And yes, it seems many here are...less than adequately concerned about their personal well being.

[meowna]

I heard there's even a guy that can't get magically healed at all. Oh, but that's okay! My name is Morgana. Nice to meet you!

[He offers her a paw to shake; may as well, if they're introducing themselves properly.]

[caduceusoncall]

I am thankful my healing is both technological and magical, then. Typically I use my staff, which uses medical nanobots to seal wounds in the field.

[She doesn't have it with her, but she'll show you some time if you want. And technobabble at you until your head spins.]

[Angela accepts the offered paw awkwardly and gives it a politely firm shake. Her hands may look delicate, but her grip is fairly strong.]

But! I am Angela, or Mercy, if you'd prefer. It's a pleasure to meet you, Morgana. I look forward to working with you in the future.

[meowna]

[He probably won't understand most of the technobabble, but..... he'll try, at least? It's the least he can do, trying to learn technological methods of healing while he teaches psychic methods.....]

It's always good to have options, especially in a place like this. I'm sure we'll make a great team!
