Ah... hey everyone, it's Ambrose. I was Milo for a while there but I'm back to being me and one hundred percent less tree-like. So, I've gotta ask do we uh. I mean, some other folks've gotta be wondering too so--

[ a slight pause, then in a rush: ]

What's the least harmful way we can test for immortality? Cuz I wouldn't put it past the Arcana to leave people stuck with that.

[ he's totally ~~not~~ asking for a friend, okay. ]

Speaking of Arcana: I'd like to meet with all the folks who've been Marked by the Fool - he calls himself Don Orlea - so maybe we can coordinate or. Something. Dunno if we want to do it all together or what but either way, I'll provide snacks.

Break the skin, see how fast it heals.

[Said with all the confidence of someone who's done this multiple times now.]

...maybe keep a healer on hand.

Blood draw should do it. If there's silver in there, con...gratulations?

Yeah, see, I'm trying to avoid unnecessary pain because...well, I'm not the only one it hurts.

[ being married to a First Law compliant robot is. a thing. ]

Though how much breakage are we talking? What about like a blood draw?

Okay, that sounds doable. Either way I'm pretty overdue for a screening so win-win?

[ assuming a proper blood workup is a possible thing. also gods knows what it would turn up by now. ]

No idea who can handle that part around here, if anyone. I can do the blood-draw part, but much analysis beyond that I don't have the know-how for.

The silver's just really, really obvious.

I'm gonna say anythin' bigger'n a papercut's unnecessary. Blood draw'd work - basically yer just lookin' t'see if y'all got them silver streaks.

Weren't Tachibana an' Lyall doin' that vaccine stuff back in mermaid world?

...Yeah, they were. You'd have to ask them if they can still do the facilities for this stuff, though.

Silver streaks. So you guys worked this out already? I shouldn't be surprised.

I'll take obvious, thanks. Other stuff can wait.

[[After Kinji elbows him into paying attention]]

I can.

That Minako girl got it 'bout a week or two in. Tachibana's overlay had it too, an' told me how he was immortal. Two an' two!

Ah.

[ well. those are strong odds unless it's best two out of three and he's the third and gosh he's not sure how to feel about all this. ]

Well, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. So, um, are you up for a meeting to discuss our creepy wannabe patron?

Well, if you just want obvious, drop by anytime. Sounds like you have some options if you want to kickstart other stuff, though.

Oh! Ah, you're a medico?

Sooner I find out, I think, the better. Is now okay?

Sure thing. I can clean up a space.

[Fingers crossed for you, Ambrose.]

I'd be down fer that. 's'worth gettin' everyone on the same page 'bout him.

Medical researcher. Specializing in analysis and development.

[[It was a bit of a simplified version of his actual job, but one that raised far fewer questions]]

All right then. Where can I find you?

Assuming we can, what with... Fool stuff. I need to get a list of his attributes together so we don't all just think we're idiots.

The stable rooms ended up in the middle of the race track. Mine's the big white metal one.

[ oh good Ambrose likes minimal questions. ]

Oh, good! We've been needing folks like that for a while, even with all the magic-healing-whatsis people have picked up. Sometimes good ol' empirical conclusions are a nice thing to have.

Especially when dealing with something like that mermaid plague, yeah.

...my infiltration helped with the vaccine for that. [ hey he's a little proud of En Zhenming Ambrose okay. ] He had a weaker strain of the whatever frenzy disease and you guys... well, you know.
