Take an ice pack

An Irken plague doctor and a modern medic become a team, who knew?

[irken-medicine]

Hi!! You guys are doctors? That’s super cool!! My dad is a doctor too! He’s the greatest doctor ever, he sings a special song to make me all better!! I think he’s magic.... Do you have magic too, misters? -Neeps 💥

Doc Doc Doc- it’s a smeet!!

Why, hello there. Your dad seems like a very good doctor.

[There’s a small chuckle from Doc.]

I guess we are magic, hm? Right Noel?

Absolutely! Helping irkens is magic, just like how your dad helps you is magic!

[irken-medicine]

I"M BAAACCK!!! But not for a checkup! *he chuckles* What kinds of medicines did you use back then? I mean the tech level of today is rather advanced compared to back then. but did they have paks and the such? Thankyou For answering my inquiries Raven. -Sent by the Eye patched irken.

Well back then we used herbs and we did have liquid medicines but they don’t compare to the medicines Noel told me that exist now. 

Paks are a foreign concept to me, they didn’t exist and seeing them now...? It’s weird...everything is bound to technology now, I can barely see any connection to nature or anything of the sort...to think all of you is stored within one thing and it can just...get wiped away if you’re deemed “defective” is scary.

[irken-medicine]

Are you the only one who was pulled out of those florpus holes? Are there any more Irkens who’ve been displaced through time?

I-

He’s the only one! Pulling Doc out was a feat in itself for us! I couldn’t think of pulling more out...

but who knows how many other florpus holes are out there? Those things have a mind of their own, so irk forbid any other irken gets displaced, the culture shock...is going to be real tough on them. If there were any other irkens who got displaced, then we’re going to find them and help them!

I...I never agreed-

Right Doc?

....right....

[irken-medicine]

Can you tell us a bit about Kaw?

Kaw....He was a good friend of mine, he was a crusader. I’ve read some history books, apparently parts of his effort led to the betterment of the “invader” class but the books generalize crusaders into one batch so I can’t fully say. 

He was a bit chaotic yes, but he was a friend and the one who saw me in a dark moment and comforted me for it....despite his constant adventures he was a good person, he would never hurt anyone without reason. 

[Doc thinks back for a moment.]

“Hey! Off to another town again? Need a hand there, Ag?”

[He comes back to reality.]

Kaw was an irken to be respected and admired, heh...I heard he got a whole batch of smeets in his hometown to sign up for lessons with him, those are just rumors though.

[irken-medicine]

Do you miss what life was like back home in your own time? Any friends?

……

[He pulled out a locket from underneath his cloak and looks at it solemnly.]

I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss it…if I didn’t miss my family….ha, family. It’s a by-gone in this era…

My friends probably forgot about me when I went missing after a usual trip to an infected town, probably thought I got mono too, I don’t blame them, most irkens in my profession succumb to the sickness we’re trying to cure. The only friend who would give me a warm welcome was Kaw, even then he died long before I time traveled….

[irken-medicine]

How’d you get into modern times???

Time travel experiment. Noel is part of a secret group who tested the idea of time travel and I, was the lucky one they pulled out. (After many failed tries but Noel refuses to admit it.)

Apparently they got the idea from an experience with...a florpus? I don’t understand what that is but, apparently it was bad.

[irken-medicine]

What’s a irken Plague Doctor ? How does it differ from a regular medic?

It’s exactly what it sounds like, I take care of the epidemics of sicknesses, curable or not. If there’s an outbreak I’m the one dealing with the fallout of it...I...I dealt with the mono flu, of course during this present time there’s a cure for it but...back in my time? I had to deal with what I was given.

I couldn’t save them all, even if I tried. Every irken who contacted it, died....my practices and medicines were never enough.

I was never enough.

[irken-medicine]

Hello! Its nice to see a fellow doctor! Working the works. Did you know humans have a saying like "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" I guess it only works if you chuck the apple hard enough! *he laughs at his own joke* Anyway What is your favorite part of the job!-Sent by an eye-patched irken.

BHAHAHAH-

Oh that's quite funny!

[Noel takes a few moments to calm down from his laughing fit.]

Snrk- okay...okay, my favorite part is how I can save others, there’s always  a chance that they’ll survive even with the worst injuries under my care and I think it’s really nice.

Mine is my relationship with my patients...even if I won’t get to know them for long, at least I was there for them.

[irken-medicine]

why, hello!! how are yall? what's it like being a medic?

Doc could you lighten up a little?

When I die Noel, when I die.

Irk…but I find being a medic quite lovely! I’ve always wanted to do this and here I am!

….I…I’ll admit I like being a medic…but…not what I deal with.

[irken-medicine]

Is it working? Did I set it up right....? Oh!

Hello everyone! My name is Noel, an irken medic! I’m joined by my partner, a plague medic irken, Doc! Hey, come here!

Here.

{Noel and Doc are open for asks}
