[Angela hesitates to press send. This is a commitment.]

As many of you know, I am the afternoon shift doctor at the medical bay, Doctor Angela Ziegler. I have recently acquired the ability to perform a physical scan with magic. It's non invasive - just a simple wave of the hand. Completely painless, no touching involved.

If you have the chance, please stop by the medical bay for a scan so that I can cross-check and update your charts. I will try to occupy as little of your time as possible.

Additionally, please heed Jetshard's warnings of heatstroke and exhaustion during the upcoming heatwave. Don't hesitate to come to the medical bay if you are suffering the effects of heat exhaustion. If you suspect you are suffering from heat stroke, come in immediately.

Thank you for your cooperation.
- Doctor Ziegler

This would be one of the rarer descriptors for my Queen ever to be said.

[caduceusoncall]

I meant - that is to say, that was just - ah.

[She stumbles over her words awkwardly. The implication seems simply impossible, but. Well, different worlds. Sighing, Angela lets her hand drop.]

You mean to say you were actually hand created?

[As opposed to just growing this way? That's....extremely wild???]

[have_hat_will_travel]

It's complicated. The short answer is, "more or less". Demons essentially come into existence fully mature, 'formed' from the abyssal maws or the power of stronger demons. I'm of the second category.

On top of that, I have natural shapeshifting - so I take a default form that is basically my 'identity', and my subconscious optimizes that for sensuality value. I could take any form I want, but I default to this. Even that identity, though, is at least partially designed from my Queen's will, so...

Yeah. It's weird.

[caduceusoncall]

Well. You have done a remarkable job of emulating a perfectly healthy body. You have mentioned in the past a wide variety of immunity to environmental hazards as well, so I suspect you will stay in quite good shape.

None the less, my warnings about heat stroke stand. No matter how well-formed, listen to your body's warnings.

[She fusses. It's her job.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

Yeah... Wish I could figure out those details without, you know, testing it.

Testing it would be a really stupid idea.

[Pidonus nods. She's not that stupid. Usually.]

[caduceusoncall]

[Perhaps in a controlled environment, with careful monitoring and treatments on hand to cool Pidonus off once they figured out her limit - but quite frankly that seemed unnecessary at best and highly impractical at worst. While it would be good information to have, it would be just as good to simply stay out of high heat conditions and keep comfortably cool instead.]

"Stupid" is perhaps a strong word, but I agree with the sentiment that it would be dangerous to attempt to figure out your limits without serious preparation and support.

Anyhow, you are free to go if you'd like. Unless you have any questions or concerns you'd like to bring up?

[have_hat_will_travel]

I can't think of anything right now.

It's.. Weird realizing that most of the conditions that apply to me are mental in nature. Or obscure enough that I doubt I'm going to run into them while I'm here. Thankfully, honestly.

[Pidonus chooses to get up, choosing to leave by the door rather than the more dramatic method this time.]
