遊城 明日香 (Yuuki Asuka) nee 天上院 明日香 (Tenjouin Asuka)

Biology...?

From:

Biology. Namely I wish to understand how the human body works.

From:

*Yoko crosses her arms.*

And exactly how are you doing that?

From:

Studying and dissecting humans. No worries, though, I plan to put them back together properly once I understand how they work.

::Says this with genuinely well intended attitude, in the voice of a young woman (almost doll-like), a man in the prime of his life, and a wheezing old man.::

From:

::Stares dumbfoundead.::

That...

From:

*Yoko narrows her eyes at this, not looking pleased.*

Whether you can 'put them back together' or not, I don't appreciate you dissecting anyone, especially here.

Now, we have some missing students and we believe they may have come this way.
I want you to tell us where they are.

From:

The rest of me is currently studying them in this room.

::Waving a finger, explaining.::

From:

And how big is this room?

From:

::Rubs his chin.::

About a lightyear?

From:

Then I want you to bring them to us, safe and intact.

From:

Of course.

Once I'm done studying them and I understand how the human body works.

::Says this with utter reasonability, politeness and consideration.::

From:

While I admire your drive to study and understand something, I absolutely will not let you harm those children or anyone else at this school for it.

There are other ways you can learn about humans. Dissecting people isn't one of them.

You will bring those students to us now.

From:

My dear lady, you act as if dissecting will kill them. I plan to put them back together after I'm done. Patience.

From:

It will kill them. Our bodies aren't meant to be opened and closed like that.

From:

That sounds ridiculous, madam. You must be joking.

From:

She is absolutely not joking.

Humans can't be taken apart and simply put together again with no harm done. That process will kill them.
Those students aren't yours to do your science experiments on.

If you want to learn about humans and how our bodies work, there are plenty of other resources you can use, such as books or the internet, to find the information you want.

From:

::He tilts his head confused about your last line.::

I do not know what those are, madam.

From:

Those are things that humans have created to share information with other people.

*She takes the duel disk off her arm and taps the screen to see if she has any kind of internet signal in this weird space.*

From:

::It works middlingly at best. It leans in.::

Ah. Like the tablets of the [Irytrne] that my mistress studies.

::Leans in to whisper to Yoko.::

I'm impressed you're managing to. Talk to this. Entity.

From:

*She whispers back.*

I'm mostly winging it, but it seems willing to listen.

*Looking back at the entity, she gives it a nod.*

Yes. We call these tablets too.
Books, and especially the internet, hold all the information you could ever want to know about humans. Our biology, how we live, our culture.
Everything.

From:

::Hrms.::

The tablet I refer to has I believe the term is... Cuneiform? And are clay.

Where can I obtain the Tablets you have?

From:

We have some tablets for use in the school library and I am happy to assign one to you for your use. Plenty of books there to look at too.

How about this, if you return the students to us unharmed and promise not to abduct and dissect humans again, I will happily allow you use of the school library after school hours, so you can research to your hearts content.

Do we have a deal?

From:

... Hrm.

If I am impressed by this tablet, I will agree to find an alternate means of dissection. I still need direct understanding, madam. A scientist without practical understanding is not much of a scientist.

::Pondering.::
