[text] Doctor says, are you in?

[personalityquarks]

Hello, everyone! My apologies for not introducing myself sooner. My name is Strange, and I serve as the station's medical officer.

[This, presumably, would explain why they were RATHER BUSY in the aftermath of the Fissure expedition. Cough, cough.]

And on that note, I'd like it if everyone could stop by the medical lab for a moment or two, when you have the chance. I just want to do a check to ensure that no one's suffering any ill effects from the Fissure. There will be nothing invasive or nasty, I promise.

I'd also like to speak to Noctis, if you have time available.

[Feel free to respond to this post, or just drop in on the medical bay with an action tag!]

Would you even be able to tell anything odd about me given my non-human status?

[personalityquarks]

It shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm mostly checking for anything aberrant that sticks out from the rest.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Okay, I guess I can come by, then.

[To Action]

[And after a few minutes... There she is.]

-> Action

[personalityquarks]

[And here's Strange, eyes just out of of focus until the sound of a new arrival - their hand moves occasionally like the typing-at-a-keyboard version of a dog sleep-running.]

Hello! Anything in particular I should be aware of before we start?

Re: -> Action

[have_hat_will_travel]

I honestly don't know where to start. My anatomy is only outwardly humanlike, for one. Inherent magic, constructed partially of pure Chaos and Evil, and uh... What else...

... Yeah, I'm sorry, I honestly don't know if you're going to be able to get any useful data.

[personalityquarks]

Any particular elemental baseline?

[It's ok it's a doctor's job to know what kind of questions to ask.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

As much as you can call 'Chaos' and 'Evil' elements, I guess? Maybe lightning?

[personalityquarks]

They're not what I'd typically call elements. Chaos, perhaps, but Evil is rather more of a moral judgement.

[And we're gonna start up the glowhand and give it a wave, then.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

Yeah, for my world... It can be, but it's more than just that. There's a conceptual 'essence' of Good and Evil that beings can be made from, so...

[The data is... In line with what would be expected for her unusual nature, most likely.]

[personalityquarks]

[Which probably means some of the elemental scan data is, in fact, bouncing around wildly Because Chaos, but hey whatever.]

Odd, but no odder than the rest, probably.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Aren't most of the rest human? Wouldn't their data be more regular?

[personalityquarks]

Only a little over half, actually. And even of those that are human, there's plenty of variation. Some have nearly as much magic as you.

[have_hat_will_travel]

.. That's. Definitely odd to consider, given the amount of magic I have...

[personalityquarks]

Well, I know that at least one case is due to divine interference.

[My name is Nai and I get to handwave interactions with my own NPCs, it's fine.]

Several of the other more magic beings are fairly human-passing; you might not even have noticed they aren't.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Because of course I was the only one who was open and honest about my nature, huh...

[personalityquarks]

Some I think it just hasn't particularly come up. So it depends how much you consider omission a lie.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Mmm. Perhaps you're right. Especially if others are... Less potentially dangerous than me.
