"Blood's fine, I'm making the whole body from scratch. I'd know how to do this in my kind of human but they're more robust in general and in particular have different drug reactions."

"Making the whole body from scratch, but in what level of detail?  You sound like you have expertise, could you make a body without that?  Are demons who know less about the human body advantaged over you in making them in any way?"

Permalink

"I can copy things I know almost no details about, and I can do some things like substituting all the water in a model for plastic, and more stuff like that the more I know. Knowing more is strict advantage, except in the sense that when presented with superficially similar organisms I keep almost overconfidently giving them melatonin for sleepiness."

Permalink

"Or rather a lot of caffeine, also for sleepiness!  I'm at the metaphorically able to see time stage; normally that doesn't happen for a while."

Permalink

"Geez, I'm sorry. I went to so much med school and it's hard to remember that it doesn't work here."

Permalink

"Neither of us are strangers to stimulant edge and now you'll probably have an easier time remembering for the birthdays who care more!!  But you should probably test whatever sleepiness things you're going to do on somebody fully living who also isn't either of us unless it's not going to happen for at least several hours."

"Assuming it's possible to test on some-body not made from scratch."

"Melatonin? Yeah, I can administer it to live people. But if you know how sleep works and don't know melatonin to exist it might just not for you guys."

Permalink

"I know it to exist but wouldn't necessarily reach for it first in this context; dosing's tricky and the side effects that come with using too much don't seem like they'd be ideal to combine with what former stars apparently already experience."

Permalink

"That's already different from what I expect, so, thanks! Chamomile on my world is so mild that it takes a lot of scrutiny to be confident it works literally at all."

Permalink

"It might be worth mentioning at this juncture that I expect new resurrectees to already be somewhat tired; none of the bodies I sent to bed shortly after arriving took very long to fall asleep and all those people went into the receiving rooms even before you gave them books and music."

Permalink

"Huh. I wasn't aiming for that but I suppose it's probably emotionally exhausting and also a bit, hm, enervating since it's so unpleasant..."

Permalink

"It as least felt physically exhausting as well.  I think aiming for tiredness on purpose is still a good idea - as an option available to the souls, at least, if not something we should necessarily apply to everyone without asking - but that's something that might affect the ideal dose."

(One of the coffee'd boys absentmindedly starts bouncing his leg quite rapidly for a handful of seconds before realizing that he's done so and putting a stop to it.)

Cam hands him a fidget spinner. "Well, I can put literal chamomile in their literal stomachs till we know what to do instead, it won't make them have to pee right away."

(Spin?)

"I can still explain what it does chemically.  Though doing so may be easier with a chalkboard, textbook, or some other visual aid."

Permalink

Whiteboard and markers! With colors!

Permalink

Then the orange S-person can explain sleepy chemicals to Cam!  They're off from spherical-Earth biology in the same wacky direction as everything else, but nothing that should stand in the way of achieving this particular result.  Except maybe the concern Felicity mentioned, which they don't really have a way to test except on actual resurrectees.

Permalink

(The blue one is NOT volunteering to be an actual resurrectee.  She is very obviously exerting effort to not do that.)

Permalink

There are probably plenty of dead people who are also Like This.

Permalink

There's one on the spreadsheet, yeah.  Or at least someone with this birthday.

Permalink

Can Felicity ask them if they will be a test subject for sleepitude?

Permalink

Yes she can and yes they will.

Permalink

Convenient. By the time they touch down in Atriama they can probably have a test protocol worked up for how to conjure the new body.
