Characters: Samuel Henderson and YOU
Format: Wevs
This log is: open
Location: Bookstore or in the Conquest infirmary
Summary: Puttering around for open harassment
Warnings: None!

Bookstore:
[The bookstore is a mess. He's struggling to keep up. But he's still got a smile on his face. Yes, he's one of those people that enjoys retail, suck it.]

Infirmary:
[After his day of work, he's exhausted. He goes to the infirmary, and drops heavily into his chair. He picks up a clipboard and goes over the data. Lately he's had to deal with a lot of students getting sick. He needs to run some more tests to try and find the cause. He got up again, and went to some of his equipment in the back of the room. He was not going to be beaten by this puzzle.]

[ During the day, Golbez stops by the bookstore to have a chat. ]

Samuel?

[bloodbrother]

Ah! Hi, Golbez. [His ponytail's a little mussed, but he's in good spirits as he's putting some books away.] Did you need help with something?

[stoppedhiding]

No, I'm quite all right. I actually came to see you, if you have a moment.

[bloodbrother]

Sure, I guess. Is something wrong? [He sets the book stack down at the end of the aisle. It's quite the stack for a guy his size to carry.]

[stoppedhiding]

Ah, no. [ He reaches into his pocket and digs out a small bag from the shop. ] I just wanted to give you this.

[bloodbrother]

[He recognizes the memory charm bag] Oh! Thank you very much. But you really don't have to. I'm sure someone needs it more than I do.

[stoppedhiding]

We could all use them. There is a very important thing that you've forgotten, Samuel. Remembering it will make things easier for everybody.

[bloodbrother]

I'm sure other people have forgotten loved ones, and things. Really, you don't have to do it. [...Yeah, he's probably a little scared.]

[stoppedhiding]

It's a bit more important than a loved one or a precious thing. It directly impacts your effectiveness as a healer. Please just accept it.

[ And if this charm doesn't give him back that memory, then Golbez will just keep buying them until one does. ]

[bloodbrother]

[He chews on his lip a bit, and finally takes the pouch from him. And then he pushes it into his inside jacket pocket, wondering idly if Kotaro had regained all of his yet.] Thank you, then, Golbez. I'll be sure to return the favor sometime.

[stoppedhiding]

I appreciate it.

[ He would have said "don't bother", but being humble about it would give Sam more wiggle room to get out of actually using the memory charm.

Golbez waits. ]

[bloodbrother]

[He almost goes back to his work, but he notices Golbez hasn't left yet.] ...Is there something else?

[pencilpremonition]

[Ugh, book store. That means books. Ew. Maybe there's a copy of Twilight in here...]

[ Sent not long after Sam returns to the infirmary. ]

Dr. Henderson, I presume?

Re: [online, private message]

[bloodbrother]

[He doesn't get to the message right away.]
Yes, I am.
Sorry about making you wait.
What can I do for you?

[fracturedsoul]

Not a problem.

My name is Dirk Strider. I'm a student at Fortitude.
I have need of your medical expertise.
What do you know about preserving corpses?

[bloodbrother]

Bite it and drink its blood.
It's good to meet you, Dirk.

That's quite a question. Is this for a homework assignment?

[fracturedsoul]

No, it's an actual situation I have.
I don't want it to rot. What do I do?

[bloodbrother]

[HE HAS SO MANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU DUDE]
If someone near you has died, they should have revived in their bed in their dorm.
Unless there's something else going on.

[fracturedsoul]

It was a special order from the shop. It arrived dead and hasn't revived.

[bloodbrother]

You asked for a corpse?

[fracturedsoul]

Of course not. if I had, I'd have gotten in touch with you way fucking sooner than this.
I was expecting it to come alive.

[bloodbrother]

Oh. I see now. Sorry for my confusion.

Well, there's several different approaches I've heard of.
There's modern embalming, that involves draining the body of fluids and some chemical preservation techniques.
Then there's several ancient techniques I've read about but they all involve removal of organs or other bodily fluids.

[fracturedsoul]

[ Shit. If he's being honest with himself, he's really hoping there's some way to revive it at some point. ]

Anything less irreversible than that?

[bloodbrother]

Only one, and only exists in a theoretical sense on this campus.

Me.
