15th Perscription ~ [Dictated/Action]

[Genetic Knowledge People]

I was wondering if I could ask someone to come and have a look at some research of mine. A fresh pair of eyes wouldn't go amiss, especially around here.

---

[Noah MacManus]

How're you feeling, Mr. MacManus? I was wondering if I could pop up an do a wee check-up?

---

[Carson is pottering around in the kitchen, fixing himself food, and he opens the fridge to find a note. On that note is scribbled:

TOUCH THE CHEESE AND I WILL GUT YOU

Carson just kinda stares at it for a minute.]

Well, that's bloody charming.

((OOC: As open as anything!))

[Noah's puttering around in the room. He's managed to find a way to open the window, and a lovely breeze is blowing in. He's enjoying the quiet.

[Carson's voice breaks through the relative silence.]

Please yerself. I'm always here.

[Except when he's not.]

_{[Vanyel walks in, looking a bit harried. But then, working with magics can do that to a person. He needs an energy boost, and this thing called 'coffee' sounds like a wonderful idea right now. That and maybe a banana or something. Getting down to come and get it rather than wishing it up was merely a nice excuse to remove himself from the room.

He blinks when he sees Carson and smiles at the sight of his friend - though it is a small smile, mind.]}

Carson, good to see you.

[The dictation is slightly muffled, sadly]

Um. I'd be happy to but I'm a bit indisposed at the moment...

That's fine. Whenever you have time.

I'm Dr. Beckett.

[And Carson's going to find out about that.]

Okay. I'll be up in a wee while. Is there anything you want bringing up?

[Carson sets the note aside and decides to tempt fate by getting himself a cheese sandwich. It's then when Vanyel enters the room, and Carson smiles a bit wider.]

Vanyel, good afternoon. How are you?

Well enough, a bit tired. I miss have a node to call on when I work.

_{[He made for the fridge as well, taking out bread and some cut meat and lettuce and a tomato along with the pesto.]}

How have you been?

_{[He smiled at him, genuinely glad to see his friend.]}

I keep meaning to ask when we go on that fishing trip, but it keeps getting interrupted by the Castle.

Oh I have the time... I'm just on a bit of an inconvenient loss at the moment.

It's nice to meet you, Dr. Beckett. I'm the Doctor.

Walkin' shoes, and a good cigar.

[There's amusement in Noah's voice. He's obviously feeling better.]

I can probably get the latter, but have you tried wishing the shoes?

I dinnae trust this wishin' shite. I've done enough of it.

[He redecorated his room to look like his cottage in Ireland, mostly because he was tired of looking at that godawful wallpaper.]

Gonna move out soon as I can.

I don't blame you. I'm considering it, too. Help out in the hospitals and clinics down in the city.

What're they like, outside of this place? Not as convenient when ye cannae wish for everythin'.

[There's a kettle on the fire (yup, fireplace as well. To hell with wishing up a warm room), and it whistles merrily.]

Come on up, then. I've a pot of tea.

Aye, I will admit that the castle seems to be intent on stopping us.

[He leans against the counter.]

I'm a wee bit busy this month. Some of my research is reaching a critical stage. Perhaps some time next month?

Ah, I take it you're the other Doctor?

I've had the pleasure of meeting you before. Well, the other you.

Of course. What research are you doing, if i might ask?

Continuing something I didn't finish before leaving home. It's a gene therapy.

Gene therapy?

I am, yes. Hello! Which have you met? The one with the celery? He's the only other one here at the moment but there have been others.

Aye. Genes are what makes us who we are. We've managed to develop a slight control over these genes where I'm from. We can manipulate them a tiny bit.

Could that not... turn out badly, for some, if used incorrectly?

It could. It's always risky, but I try to make sure that I do all my research beforehand. Minimise the risks.

I mean if someone with bad intentions got ahold of such workings.

Some people have. Don't worry, there's only one person in the castle who can read my research, and I trust him with my life.

[He smiles.] Of course, I translate it for people who help, but those copies are destroyed soon after.

_{[He nodded at the other, glad he was taking precautions. He dealt with dark magicians to often not to be cautious.]}

That is good. I am glad, though, that you use it to try and help people.

_{[He chuckles.]}

You might make a Herald.

Science should be used to help better society. Human and other life needs to benefit from it.

[He's a man of strong convictions. That is something he believes in strongly..]

And if you need magic to become a Herald, that's something I'm in short supply of.

Haha, no, actually. I am only gifted with magic. You need a Gift, usually, but those can be rather mundane to be honest. Sometimes they are hardly present at all. What counts is the man or woman with the Gift, no matter how strong.

Well, I wouldn't say that I'm gifted in any way.

[Because Carson is a humble man.]

Heh, everyone who becomes a Herald, at first, thinks that. Sometimes they do no realize their Gift till it is pointed out it has been what has cause such commotion in their life till now.

Well, I wouldn't say it's caused a commotion in my life.

[He smiles lightly.] I'm grateful. I've been able to do things no-one else would have dreamed.

I am glad that your world has someone like you then.

I'm nothing compared to the rest of the universe, I just try my best.

That is all anyone can ask of themselves or others, I find.

_{[He smiled at him and looked back t the fridge.]}

Someone is fond of cheese then, are they?

Probably some form of lactate addiction. I've never seen someone threaten over it.

Well, I suppose there are worse things to be threatened over, right?

Aye, but it's still going a wee bit far.

No, I am not denying that. Perhaps it is just a child playing a prank?

Some bloody prank.
