Prescribed Recreation part 3: Chillax'n with a Vengeance

[fleurdesel]

Who: House 44, House 46, House 3, Saori, Steve Rogers, and whoever wanders in
What: Movie night on the beach
When: September 9th, in the evening
Where: The Beach
Summary: After an unfortunate tussle with a Chaos God, work on a farm, a swarm of refugees and stress piled upon stress, sometimes all anyone wants is to sit back and watch classic movies.
Rating: PG for possible adult language
Something that everyone could agree on was this: the past three weeks had been several shades of stressful. What they needed, what they all needed was something mindless and relaxing shared in the company of those they care for in a neutral environment. The beach works well enough, and it's not that far a trip for anyone involved.

Oh? How've you been going about it?

[People make herbal medicines all the time here, but this is the first time he's heard of someone going that route.]

[thefinaljedi]

Its simple enough, most medicines from my world are really just combinations of chemical compounds. There's enough basic equipment in the clinic. I just requested a few of the base ingredients from points earned on missions, and mixed them up. Its basic education back home, really.

[Coming from a society like he did, it was pretty simple]

[deathsdoctor]

[... basic education...?

He'll take your word for it. For a society that sailed the stars, maybe pharmacology really was a grade school science.]

I see. I'd be very interested in taking a look at that. We're pretty dependant on medication and other remedies provided by the Malnosso for the most part, aside from the medicines some of the healers here create, so I'm always interested in seeing alternatives.

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke actually nods and produces a vial of reddish liquid from his belt.]

Have a look, then. This isn't really much of a medicine, more a stimulant , but its the only thing I've really attempted to synthesize. Its called Haladreshin, and acts as a sort of focusing stimulant. Jedi occasionally use it to temporarily boost sensitivity to the Force, or recover a lost connection.

It works just fine, I've used it here once, during the hurricane, and treated a patient with it in the aftermath of that Chaos God attacking. Raine Sage had no problems with it.

What would be nice is if we could get a supply of Bacta. That would do wonders for the village.

[deathsdoctor]

[So interesting and potentially useful! So it boosts psychic conductivity? Law could see many helpful applications for that.]

Fascinating. I would love to read more about it if you can ever find the literature on it. [The parts of the brain it focused on, its chemical structure, etc, etc. The doctor in him is quite happily intrigued.] And if you're willing to show me how you make it, I would appreciate that as well.

... what is Bacta, may I ask?

[thefinaljedi]

I haven't found literature yet, unfortunately. It was something I learned to make from Master Sunrider's holocron, and if that turns up here I'll have a lot more to study. [He hopes Law remembers Nomi]

And of course, I'll happily show you how to make it. The chemicals involved are pretty common too.

[Luke tucks it back into his belt]

Bacta is a miracle medicine. Its a reddish fluid, and when one is submerged in it it rapidly speeds healing, purges most diseases, and can even prevent scarring and unnecessary amputation.

[deathsdoctor]

[Oh yes, Law remembers Nomi. Seeing spirit possession tends to stick with you.]

That is much appreciated.

[And then Luke describes Bacta and Law pause. Then whistles lowly. Wow. Impressive.]

That does sound like it would be handy to have around.

[thefinaljedi]

Wars are fought over the stuff. Shame I can't replicate it, but maybe the Malnosso would provide it if I requested it through their mission system.

[Thinking, thinking...]

I'll swing by your office...tomorrow, and show you how to make the Haladreshin. How familiar are you with chemistry?

[deathsdoctor]

[Given the implications raised by him agreeing to find and administer a cure for the children of Punk Hazard...]

Quite familiar. I am decently proficient with pharmacology.

[thefinaljedi]

That makes things easier then. I'll see you after lunch tomorrow, alright?

[deathsdoctor]

Alright. I look forward to it.
