Hullo!

Pal just posted a notice to the bulletin board offering physical medical examinations to anyone who is interested! Between Dax’s death and Jaune’s de-aging, and armed with newly-regained knowledge of human anatomy, he has decided that it would be a very good idea if they all kept better track of their health and what the heck is going on with their insides. This is obviously totally optional, both icly and oocly, but Pal probably will cheerfully and annoyingly ask people if they’ve had their physicals yet until they have.

The nitty-gritty: Though he isn’t a medical professional, not even by the standards of his own universe, in canon Pal has gained pretty advanced knowledge of medicine. Right now, he basically just knows everything there is to know about human anatomy; he can’t really treat or diagnose anything (yet!), but he knows enough to be able to say, for example, “I’m pretty sure your kidneys aren’t supposed to look like that.”

And how does he know what your kidneys look like? In essence, thanks to his necromantic powers, Pal can be a sort of walking MRI machine. He’s also very good at gauging the physical age of things, and at detecting cell death. He achieves all of this by laying his hands on someone. See, not invasive at all! But maybe a little spooky.

Anyway! If your character would be interested, please fill out the following form, just to help me keep track of what Pal knows. Obviously we have varying levels of canon knowledge about our characters’ health, so feel free to be as specific or general as possible.



And let me know if you have any questions!

You already know most of what would be going on with Cam, but if he wants to do a test run on her, or just pick it up, she was nabbed from considerably past the point of any of her memories in canon, so that might be fascinating to know [and useful for body-sharing angst, if you wanted it to be]. Like. "You seem okay, but you have some WEIRD THANERGY SIGNATURES"

(or, possibly just unusual ages of cell death and regrowth, since she's had some pretty good injuries/near-death experiences - getting stabbed, getting electrocuted, going into thanergy shock -- since the last time he would remember, and b)even short of them piloting at the same time, him just existing in her body causes her thalergy to try to convert faster, if I understand the 'timer' thing right).

She'd let him use her as a test subject if he wanted, and anyway even if he wants to pick it up from idle physical contact I figured it might be useful.
