Hiroshi Howser, M.D.

[all_onis_are_true]

*So one minute, Hiroshi is hit by a train thingy. A rather familiar train thingy, so he's not surprised he's unharmed afterwards, but a train thingy regardless.

Then he remembered something. And holy crap, what a something.*

[VIDEO]

I'd just like to say I'd like to offer my services as a doctor to anybody and anyone that needs it. It seems I managed to become quite the doctor at a young age, so I think I can help out anybody who's injured.

...ho ho ho.

((OOC: Guess who got Mordin's medical repetoire?))

"I'm... not injured, but I... I think I'm going mad...."

Hey, he offered assistance.

[all_onis_are_true]

Hmm. I admit I don't know the most about avian minds, but I suppose I can see what I can do. What seems to be the problem?

[nomen_est_numen]

"Well, I... I just... remembered s--well, first, I hallucinated a frightening-looking train thing and... then I remembered it... something about facilitating a plan to take over the moon? But... there's nothing on the moon to take over, not here, not at home...."

[all_onis_are_true]

Hmm. It seems like the train has been active a lot late -- wait, take over the moon? What?

[nomen_est_numen]

"That's the part I don't understand! But there it is, clear as anything. It felt like a properly regained memory and everything.... did... did they mix up something at the laboratory, maybe?"

[all_onis_are_true]

That's preposterous. How can you mix up memories? I would think they have the process solidly down by now if things like this haven't happened before.

[nomen_est_numen]

"How d'you explain it, then? There are no humans or anyone who resembles them where I come from OR anything on the moon worth taking over."

[all_onis_are_true]

You never know. Perhaps there were humans and you are only just now remembering them. I can't imagine an alternate solution.

*Alternatively, Hiroshi might be grasping at straws here because remembering an entire medical education is way the hell better than remembering yet another damned oni iteration.*

[nomen_est_numen]

"... And the moon? That bit sounds like nothing more than a bizarre dream, but I wasn't asleep."

[all_onis_are_true]

Man HAS traveled to the moon by now, you know. It wouldn't surprise me if you visited, or if people have been trying to conquer it.

[nomen_est_numen]

Rrrrrgh. Perhaps he just isn't being clear. "...Yeeessss, but don't they need special armour to do that? It's a very hostile environment. I saw none of that anywhere in this memory. And my world hasn't got humans surrounded by unaccountable little floating lights or houses that appear bigger on the inside--that much I do remember."

[all_onis_are_true]

It still seems improbable that we could just mix up memories like that. How would that even work?

*Denial: Not just a bad joke about Egyptian rivers.*

[nomen_est_numen]

"I've no idea but, then again, we still don't know how these anemoi things work, do we?"

[alittleblackmagic]

Yeah, right. I'd rather take my chances with the alien.

[all_onis_are_true]

No, really! I just remembered a treasure trove of medicinal and biological knowledge! I guess I was a lot more devoted to my studies than I thought.

[alittleblackmagic]

Oh, yeah? Then what kinda white magic do you use when you wanna cure poisoning?

[all_onis_are_true]

Don't be ridiculous. This is SCIENCE, not magic. Pure human knowledge.

[alittleblackmagic]

Science is boring.

...Oh, I know! I'll set you on fire and see if you know how to treat yourself.

[all_onis_are_true]

You know, something I DON'T need a medical degree for is to remind you that arson, especially arson inflicted on living beings, is illegal.

[alittleblackmagic]

But it's for a good cause! You can break the rules sometimes if you mean well.

[all_onis_are_true]

I don't really think there's any definition of "setting people on fire" that really means well for the person in question, Palom.

[mokomanjuu]

Mokona has a tummy ache!

[all_onis_are_true]

Hmm, I'm not sure I know the anatomy of Mokonas too well. I can probably prescribe a simple analgesic, though.

[mokomanjuu]

But Mokona doesn't want to put anything in her butt! Mokona doesn't even have a butt!

[all_onis_are_true]

Um, that's just medical terminology for pain medicine, Mokona.

[mokomanjuu]

Oh, okay!

Mou... Hiroshi should be careful when talking with people who aren't doctors.

[all_onis_are_true]

My apologies. I only just remembered my medical repertoire.

[mokomanjuu]

Can Hiroshi do surgery?

[all_onis_are_true]

Of course. My knowledge of human anatomy is impeccable.

[mokomanjuu]

What about octopuses?

[all_onis_are_true]

Darn it, Mokona, I'm a doctor, not a marine biologist.

[trustycrowbar]

[... ...just...]

...What?

[all_onis_are_true]

No seriously, Mr. Gordon! I suddenly remembered a ton of stuff! A whole medical degree's worth, even! Isn't it great? I didn't even think I had it in me!

[trustycrowbar]

I... had no idea either!

[Yeah, Hiroshi's smart, but... a whole medical degree's worth? Before the age of sixteen?!]

Licenced and everything? Where'd you get the degree?

[all_onis_are_true]

I don't seem to remember just yet. It'll probably come back to me in time. Although...

*He furrows his brow as something occurs to him.*

...maybe it was just one of the variant mes...?

[trustycrowbar]

[That occurred to him too.]

--I don't know, kiddo. If the knowledge is useful, then let's not question it for now.

[He'll do all the questioning that needs done for now.]

But... until you know where it comes from, you may want to be careful how you use it.

[all_onis_are_true]

I guess. Damn. It was a really cool thing to remember too. It doesn't fit in with the few non-horrible memories I have, though.

[trustycrowbar]

[He lets out a voiceless sigh. Sometimes being the voice of reason kind of sucks.]

--Hold up. What do you mean, it doesn't fit?

[rainbowbrush]

You're a doctor?

[all_onis_are_true]

Indeed. Apparently I just recalled my medical knowledge. Just shows how much studying hard pays off, I suppose.

[rainbowbrush]

...I don't buy it.
