Nyeh, What's Up, Doc? [S]

What's up, .


"It's a free check up. You should buy me dinner." He pointed out irreverently, releasing his Orbeetle. "Garo— We're doing a check up. Mind giving me a hand?"

In response, the Orbeetle lifted up the youth's case, the boxy bag popping open before a number of tools began floating in the air.

Meanwhile, Doug pressed his stethoscope to Isaac's chest and found that the other young man had the world's most rhythmic pulse. Not something to be worried about, usually, though if one considered Isaac's recent circumstances, it was an oddity.

Also... not as good a sign as some might believe.

"Hn. 60 beats per minute exactly for 3 minutes." Doug said outloud, to which his Orbeetle's eyes glowed, a pen and notepad coming together in the air. "That ain't good."

Heart rate variability (HRV) was considered a marker of the autonomic nervous system's functioning, as well as an indicator of overall health.

"Healthy hearts exhibit degrees of variability in between beats." Doug explained, brows furrowed. "Reduced HRV is associated with stress, illness, and medical conditions..."

But nevermind any of that— reduced variability was one thing; none at all was bizarre.

Not to mention that:

"Freakin'... Garo, prepare a full body scan." He grumbled, rubbing his temples.

And to that, Doug simply smiled at Reiner.

"Procedure complete." He says with a sigh of relief, looking over Eris briefly. "Nurse, draft a medical record."

His Orbeetle nodded in acknowledgement, its eyes glowing once again as it produced a notepad and pen from his bag.

Meanwhile, Doug tugged the disposable gloves off his hands and dumped them on a nearby trashcan, taking off his jacket before laying it atop the sleeping Eris.

"Don't worry, Reiner. She's just exhausted." He explained. "Healing doesn't take away one's fatigue— but it does make it easier for them to rest."

He moved over to stand near Eris' head, gently laying a glowing hand on her forehead.

"Sleep's also when the brain does maintenance. Cleans up and such." He said. "Let's make sure Eris gets the most out of it today."

Eris was gonna feel like she could fly by the time he was done.

Vs Doug


"Surprise." He managed to wheeze cockily while on the floor, offering the other man a bloodied grin— one that vanished when the other man stepped towards him.

Aw shit.

Fortunately, that single step was followed by a knee buckle, bringing the skeleton's avatar (?) to a knee.

Even as his body repaired itself, Doug felt a tension pooling within him, gulping as he stared at the man— before a whistle and a whipping wind took him away.

He followed the avatar and his Corviknight as far as his gaze would allow, before finally sighing in relief, slowly forcing himself to sit up before looking around the ship.

"Ugh... Well. Could've been worse." He consoled himself as he rose back to his feet, ambling around the deck until he found his unconscious Accelgor. "Shit."

He sat down to heal his pokemon, all the while speaking into the comms.

"Security to all personnel; Threat has been repelled. Return to your duties."

Hopefully nothing else came along.

He didn't let himself look too proud at Isaac's praise, chuckling as he shook his head and slowly shrugged off his jacket.

"Just a medic now." He said. "Though my contract says otherwise."

He had switched Corps within the military. But within AQUA, his role remained the same.

In response to Eris words, Doug dumped his jacket atop her like a blanket.

"That should tide you over." He said with a cheeky grin, before squatting down besides Reiner and holding out his hand. "Let me see yer paw, Reiner."

The paw wouldn't remain hurt for much longer if the large cat played along and let him handle it.

Once he was done with that, he moved on to Isaac, squinting at the young man as he grabbed his arm and extended it fully, looking over his shoulder with a critical eye before taking the former bleach blonde through a number of exercises. Needed to ascertain the damage and all.

"Why are ya two here anyway?" He asked once he was done with Isaac's arm.

He couldn't stick around for long— fights were still ongoing all over the island, and he needed to go help with the efforts.

"I appreciate the help, but I don't think ya originally called for that. Did ya?"

He dropped down besides Hideo in silence, considering the other boy as he hesitantly reached to him with his hand.

He wasn't sure how the man named Hideo, the one back in Galar, would've reacted. But... Doug couldn't imagine him breaking down like this.

He had been sure that Hideo remembered — like him — but... Now, he wasn't sure if Hideo remembered like him, or, if he remembered as much as him.

Slowly, His arm wrapped around Hideo, before pulling the boy into a half hug.

"It wasn't your fault." He said softly.

Sweet Lady Lioness


From one Silph to the next— hello, !


He didn't acknowledge her brief slip up, leaning closer while resting his chin atop his palm instead.

"Well, I would say I remember my time there better than most!" He said, smile pleasant as ever. "Though... I can't help but be embarrassed, thinking about it now!"

He laughed.

Unlike most folk, he had spent most of his free time hitting the books and carving wood instead of studying the blade.

Save for the inevitable moments of warfare, it could be a somewhat dull, if fulfilling existence... In his opinion

"That, and... I would rather not monopolize the conversation. He said with a hum, cupping his chin thoughtfully before cocking his head.

He would rather not bore his date, either.

"How 'bout... we exchange stories?" He said, eye glinting. "I'm a bit curious 'bout you myself."

Gotta look my best to meet the Commissioner!


Worry about himself?

Pffft. He crossed his arms into an X dramatically.

"I categorically refuse." He declared.

"As a doctor—self-appointed, license pending, give me a couple months— being a busy body is my job. No, my calling!" He sounded a little too proud while saying that.

"I'm prrrretty tough anyway, don't worry about it." He said, giving her a thumbs up and a wink.

One could almost picture the man snorting Lele scales for sustenance like crac— er, sugar.

"And..."He leaned towards the table, dropping his cheek atop his palm as he gave her a pretty obvious once-over, his gaze lingering on her face.

"... Yeah. I would say ya do. Er, ma'am!" He said, remembering his manners a step too la— er, just in time. "Have you had your health checked recently?"

He would've liked to say that everyone made it a habit to get a check up with their doc at least yearly—Those lucky or privileged enough to be able to afford it, at any rate— but he knew for a fact that workaholics tended to put their own health as a far, far second to their duties.

"That ain't how human psyche works." He said, beginning to walk towards the other youth. "Ain't no way you were 'raised' like this. Beaten into shape seems more likely."

The other's dragon-fish was stuck all the way over at the beach dealing with his bug. It was a good time to test just how much leeway he could get out of Kouji's conviction to not engage him.

He didn't see exactly what happened next, but a blanket of icy mist had suddenly covered the beach, making him lose sight of the other youth.

He could hear him shouting orders, though.

He decided to let Kira handle the other pokemon on her own for now— He and Kouji had catching up to do.

"Put your mitts up, hairdo!" He screamed into the mist, sprinting in the general direction of Kouji's voice.

"A Pharaoh, more likely." He pointed out at 's comment, lips pursing as he stared down the seemingly infinite depths of the hallway.

Doug side eyed both of his companions, neither of which gave any signs of being interested in advancing first.

Fair enough. After everything they had been through so far, a long hall with suspicious caskets lining the walls didn't make him feel particularly enthusiastic either.

"This is freakin's weird." Doug muttered as he took a tentative, gentle step forward, praying the next tile did not sink under his weight. "Did the people on the ship crash into a tomb or something?"

That was some impressively bad luck.

He had planned to ignore the sarcophagi entirely. But—

His genre savviness kicked in first.

"... If we ignore this, I just know it's gonna bite us in the ass later." He finally said with a sigh, before promptly two-stepping-into a back-kick the nearest sarcophagi's lid off.

It came off with a booming, echoing crash, the stone sliding off before shattering upon crashing on the floor.

No putrid smell came out of the inside... but the sight wasn't entirely pleasant either. Just a lot less bad than one would've thought.

The mummified remains of a humanoid being were inside the sarcophagi.

"My goodness... Do you know what this means?" he asked of his companions, eyes wide.

...

"No, really, do either of you know? This makes no fucking sense."

He said, glancing over at his companions, befuddled.

He hadn't noticed yet the fact that there were actually understandable scribbles on some of the mummifying papyrus wrapped around the body... if anyone was bold enough to look closer.

"We should quarantine this thing." He suggested into the comms as he crouched before the rift. "Don't need to know exactly what it is to know it's trouble."

Leaving it alone was just begging Team Rocket to do something with it.

"I don't guard stuff anymore, I'm a medic." He scoffed as he leaned in a little closer, trying to peer inside the rift. "I'm not above it, I've just got other stuff to do!"

A groan left his mouth, his eyes rolling as far back as they would go before he huffed.

"Know what, forget I said anything. See you later." He said with a huff, dropping the call before kicking a pebble into the rift in frustration. "'Not enough personnel'. He really said it just like that. Haaah..."
