[ Let Moira blink slowly. Oh, she thinks she's found a project. ]

How....unfortunate.

[ She's been given a small gift. Or a small taunt, thanks to her leaving her lab, her equipment, everything behind. ]

They won't, I can't take them. Thank you, though.

[ GO BACK TO YOUR HEART TRANSPLANT. ]

May I ask what warranted such a procedure?

[onethousandflowers]

My last heart was punched out of my chest by a portal-using bastard when I was 16.

[He says it matter-of-factly, then sips at the glass of water he brought with him.]

[biotictouch]

[ EXCUSE HER AS SHE NEARLY CHOKES ON HER WHISKEY. Using her napkin to get that shit under control, she takes a quick moment. ]

I'm sorry, punched? And the rest of your chest cavity was simply un-obliterated?

[ This. This could be a winner right here. ]

[onethousandflowers]

Not as such, there was a nasty hole. He put a portal inside of me and pushed my heart out by punching through it, you see. Not my fondest memory.

[biotictouch]

[ Just this expression for a solid second, before she finishes her drink. ]

Forgive me if I find it hard to believe you're alive, much less the portal opening inside of you.

[ She's not calling you a liar, just that she's having a rough time right now. ]

My apologies for your predicament.

[ She's really just sorry she asked, because now she's having a hard time knowing what to think at this point. ]

...had I any equipment, I'd offer my services.

[onethousandflowers]

I suspect my world's rules of possibility are different from yours. My allies were able to provide artificial tissue to hold me together until I could get a transplant.

[And now he's stuck here with it. Laws of nature are weird. It's probably not a good idea to fly in front of her... Especially given his tipsiness.]

I'm Byakuran, by the way. Byakuran Gesso.

[biotictouch]

I suspect they are as well. Chances of survival in my time would be astronomical, even with mine and my ex-colleagues abilities.

[ Honey flying would be the tamest shit she'd seen this evening alone. ]

Moira.

A pleasure, despite my obvious lack of silence like I'd promised.

Should I ever come across a halfway decent arrangement of tools, I'll let you know. Transplant rejection is nothing more than...mild inconvenience if I have anything to say about it.

[ By totally questionable means, sure!! But definitely in her realm of possibility. ]

[onethousandflowers]

Yeah... Let's just say I made it through on willpower alone. [Other people's willpower. Maybe he'll explain that system someday.]

You being able to help is well worth the break in the silence; that's good to know. The suppressants only go so far.

[biotictouch]

Obviously.

[ She nods, tapping down for another drink. ]

Were you looking for the entire heart to be replaced, or simple relief from symptoms?

[onethousandflowers]

Whichever one will get me off these pills for good. I'm sick, no pun intended, of having a compromised immune system.

[He's been through hell with that.]

And if you can kick-start melanin production at the same time, that'd be great,

[biotictouch]

That might take me some...time. [ And maybe...some haggling with Angela. Eeeeeughhhh not what she wants to do, but if it meant having a pet project, then so be it. ]

Replacing genetic flaws is what I'm most known for back home.

[ Conveniently leave out that it was unethical how she came about the results. ]

Mmm. Albinism I may have less luck in remedying. Regardless, I'll need...quite a few things before I can fathom helping you. Luckily, that doesn't stop me from preparing in the meantime.

[onethousandflowers]

If you need help, I'm technically a medical physicist.

[Among a lot of other things, but he's not going to go into that right now. And now he can apparently add farmer to his list... He takes a deep sip of his drink.]

[biotictouch]

Technically?

[ She wants to ask him why didn't you lead with that, but won't. Her grip on her glass though, visibly tightens. Wonderful. Slipping anything under the syringe would be all the more difficult now, not to mention another set of prying eyes when it came to her ethics.

Well, it was fun to fantasize about at least. She'd still help him, but enjoy it? Far far less. ]

Only in procuring equipment.

[onethousandflowers]

I lost my medical license a while back, so I went back to get my PhD in medical physics. Make most of my money as a violinist, though.

[He leads a strange life.]

But equipment I can do.

[biotictouch]

Ah, well. That's never stopped anyone, has it?

[ Now, now we're talking. Her small downturned frown tics up again. ]

Quite the talent you seem to have then.

[onethousandflowers]

[He nods.]

Not generally, no. What kinds of things will you need?

[biotictouch]

Basics, to begin with. I'd like ideally, to make a catalogue of things we've yet to encounter at home, but...that's merely a side task.

[ ...one more drink. She's starting to feel the fuzz. ]

Once we've got basics, monitoring devices, the like, then I'll see about advancing from there. Backwards engineering is my go to strategy, I think.

And...notebooks. But I'll supply those.

[ Mm, handwritten work. It was nice to finally return to analog. How long had it been? Grade school? Longer? She didn't know. ]

[onethousandflowers]

There's a clinic in town. We might be able to order some equipment.

[He nods again, satisfied.]

Or we can attempt to hook our cabins up to the internet.

[biotictouch]

So I've heard.

[ Nodding, the mention of internet makes her grin. ]

I've been wondering if that were a possibility. If it is, then excellent. If not, I may have a few contacts who might be able to help.

[onethousandflowers]

Mmm. Satellite may be our best bet, but I don't know if this world even has that option...

[He smiles, but it's distant.]

Then again it could have universal wifi for all I know.
