This may seem a bit odd.... but I have a question for those who are in this strange place.

There was...an incident... before I woke up here, and I seem to have this head pain that will not go away. I know this is not the best thing to have occur.

Is there anyone at least a bit medically trained that I can speak with?

...I see... [She's holding the little green bottle, still trying to decide if she trusts something that highlighter green.]

No swelling, a scrape or two from my fall, but nothing that would be incredibly out of the ordinary. And no, it is just general pain.

Either drink the Potion now if you're that concerned, or wait and see if the pain subsides on its own.

[Bedside manner? What is that?]

[4letters4ninja]

[She already did, thank you Dr. Grumpypants.]

...Is it supposed to taste so...green?

[defrostedpride]

...Would you prefer it to taste some other color? Don't answer that; you wouldn't. Someone tried making them different flavors once...It was not a success, to put it mildly.

[He was five and still foolishly expected cherry-flavored things to taste like cherries.]

This is true. It could taste like orange, like Dayquil back home... Or the fake fruit flavoring. You would think they would have figured out how to make them taste better.

It isn't that difficult, if you use quality ingredients and have more chemistry skills than a cabbage.

[When he was done with them, the Potions tasted like sour cherries picked fresh in the spring. For a breath, Even tastes them on his tongue.

Nostalgia, he notes mentally. Odd. It's been years since he thought of those experiments, his first successful innovation. He went on to far bigger and better things, of course. There's no reason he should still remember that flavor. What odd tricks the heart plays with memory.]

Some people wouldn't believe it was a real Potion unless it tasted that way. Idiots. As though the flavor of the thing were what held the curative effect.

[The sharp lines of his face are almost imperceptibly softer.]
