[Voice/Action] Enter Monkey D. Luffy

[Voice]

[Hello Luceti. Hope you're ready for a little midnight screaming over your journals. Hopefully you didn't leave it open tonight by accident.]

AHHHHHH!!!

I'M DEAD ALL OF A SUDDEN!!!???

[He didn't even get the chance to find Nami!]

[Action]

[If for some reason you are out in the forest in the middle of the night, you might notice the teen screaming and having a total freak out about this sudden change of events. He was just alive too. And now he was an angel, the feck.]

[It's like talking to a child.

A really, really stupid child.

....Oh well, he likes children.]

Well, a doctor is one who specializes in the healing and corrections of the physical body, diagnosing illnesses, administering medicines, performing surgeries.

A scientist discovers the world around us, defines it, experiments and changes it. Hopefully for the better. We work with the very physical make-up of the universe, the chemistry and biology, the theoretical and practical.

Ahh, yosh. So doctors heal and scientists figure things out.

[Okay, that makes sense.]

So that's why you always talk about dead people? You wanna figure out how they work? [Or... lack there of.]

Yes, you have it! [Okay, not a stupid child after all, yay.]

Not always. Although I do want to know how to overcome the problem which death presents to science. Death is simply the end of cell reproduction and basic motor and cognitive functions. If one were able to jump start them, it's possible to bring people back from the dead - hopefully without dire consequences.

[It actually takes him a second to fully understand what he's saying, but once he does he gives a small gasp at it.]

You mean like Frankenstein!? You can really do that!? <small?[ADMITTEDLY. It might be sort of different but Luffy can't really tell the difference so.]

Well, hopefully no. I'd rather bring one full body back to life, than a mishmash of parts. Although it would be helpful if the recently un-departed were to keep their intelligence, yes.

So far, my experiments have been able to bring back motor function and cognition, but never for a sustainable amount of time.

Well instead of focusing on bringing dead people back, why don't you just find a way to make living people stay alive for longer?

Then you won't have to worry about it as often right?

Aaaah, but everyone is working on that conundrum.

The other is far more interesting to attempt. And isn't the more challenging of experiments the best?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

But man, if you keep worrying about dead people enough, you're gonna end up with some screws lose!

I've never quite understood the phrase 'screws loose.' It implies we're robots when obviously we are not.

[He pauses.]

Besides, my main branch of research isn't focused solely on reanimating the dead. I work in fringe science.

It's just a saying. You're taking it too seriously!

I would ask what that was, but I'm not good at this kinda stuff. It'll probably just confuse me...

Well, understanding one's limitations is the first step to overcoming them. If you are ever interested in learning, I am most happy to help.

I know a few people who might be interested in learning!

I'll send them your way if they are okay? [Though honestly this guy would probably creep Usopp and Nami out ffff. Not that Luffy is thinking about that.]

Excellent! It's been quite awhile since I was in a teaching position, but I would be most delighted to try again. Do let them know to find me. Dr. Walter Bishop.
