[Whale...looks oddly happy. which, might be worrying, but considering that everybody's oddly happy today thanks to the rune magic whatever makes it slightly less worrying.]

Right, two things for you, Asgard. One: I know that there's at least people who look like me. No, I don't know why that happened either and yes, it's weird as hell. I'm Dr. Whale, not Adam or John. I'm the American one who's in Baldr and can be found around the hospital.

Two: Sigyn House, I've got a question for you. I talked with McCoy a couple of weeks ago, but I'm just now getting around to asking people this: how does the Growth power work? Can you grow anything or do you need seeds or something like that first?

This is purely scientific, so any and all answers would be appreciated. Though, depending on the outcome, I might have a job for a couple of you.

[spoilers: it is not purely scientific. he wants people to grow hops and/or weed. A+ JOB, MORON.]

Comments

permavoice; tags again two days later i'm sorry

[gluegun]

People who look like you? You mean, exactly?

permavid; /backtags into the sun

[ex_galvanist88]

Lookalikes, doppelgangers, people who look weirdly enough like me that we might be twins. That's what I mean.

kisses your face

( she doesn't quite manage to hide the sharp intake of breath, but when she responds its with a casual, if tight: ) It's amazing what plastic surgery can do, these days.

[ex_galvanist88]

Yeah, it's not plastic surgery.

[he's not going to tell her that the only reason he's certain it's not plastic surgery is that he's originally from fake-1800s while (at least to his knowledge) Adam and John are from present day.]

At least, it's not plastic surgery on my end. I've never gotten any work done--though, I can't speak for Adam and John, obviously.

[gluegun]

Magic seems to be the explanation for just about everything here. That might have something to do with it.

( or everyone's a clone! )

[ex_galvanist88]

You know, it probably is magic. I wouldn't put it past magic to make multiple versions of me--it's more trouble than it's worth.

[gluegun]

The magic, or you? ( which is more trouble, whale. )

[ex_galvanist88]

The magic. As for me, I'm just the right amount of trouble. [and by the look on his face, he's getting his flirt on.]

[gluegun]

( she has to swallow down a laugh, at that. )

Right. The kind of trouble that wants to grow certain plants in a dorm-room window box.

[ex_galvanist88]

I'm sure I can find a patch of grass somewhere to start up my farm.

[gluegun]

Where I come from, a person could make a lot of money off that farm.

But I'm not sure how it'd work, here.

[ex_galvanist88]

Mostly here I'm thinking of starting up the farm for myself and a couple of buddies. Though hey, I'm playing this by ear, who knows what'll happen.

[gluegun]

Just keep it away from the children, and I don't think anyone's going to care much one way or the other.

[ex_galvanist88]

I'm a doctor, not some dumb high school drop-out. I know what I'm doing.

[gluegun]

Famous last words, Doctor. ( but there's no real malice there. )

[ex_galvanist88]

Can I have a name to go with that sass?

[gluegun]

It's Alison. And most people outgrow sass when they're about seventeen.

[ex_galvanist88]

Dr. Whale. Pleased to meet you, Alison.

[gluegun]

Likewise, I'm sure.

I'm still trying to decide if being a doctor makes you respectable or asking for natural herbs means you aren't.

[ex_galvanist88]

Hey, I'm a very respectable man. In fact, I can show you just how respectable I am over dinner and drinks--consider that my respectability test.

[gluegun]

Does the respectable doctor keep his hands to himself around married women?

( who are known for having very public trysts but shush. )

[ex_galvanist88]

[just his luck.]

Yes, he does. And may the respectable doctor just butt in that he didn't know you were married.

[gluegun]

I guess I can't actually hold that one against you.
