Fourth Field of Fonons [Video/Action]

[Jade has kept to himself for most of the month. His latest research topic? Fears. He's had a particularly humiliating and familiar case of gynophobia for almost a month now. Considering the fears that others around him seem to be afflicted with, it was no leap to guess that this was an experiment at work. But it hadn't worn off for him, arousing suspicion. During this time, rather than reflect upon the quiet departure of Luke fon Fabre, Jade has been focusing his research into finding some kind of solution. He is determined to find a way to overcome this fear through his own means - and if he has to help others to get there, then so be it.]

[Jade addresses them casually, leaning over his desk with his fingers steepled together.]

People of Luceti? This is Colonel Jade Curtiss. I have a particular subject that I'd like to bring to your attention. It's come to my attention that a portion of the populace has spontaneously developed phobias without any known origin within the last month. The most likely conclusion would of course be a particularly subtle Malnosso shift. However, if that is so, then this has certainly persisted longer than the usual experiment. It's something that should be dealt with swiftly; currently, it is little more than a hindrance. But in an emergency, reactions to such fears could mean the difference between life and death.

I am trying to work on my own solution to this problem. After all, unlike most problems that result from shifts, phobias are relatively treatable. I'd like to meet with anyone who has exhibited any of these odd fears, even if those fears have somehow left you. I'm well aware that a particularly unpleasant reputation may precede me, but I assure you that I have some practice in matters related to psychotherapy. At the least, I like to believe that I'm more trustworthy than the child whom the Malnosso have in stock. Simply file an appointment into the journal for any time in the week, and I'll speak with you within my workshop in House One.

[Action]

[Jade will wait in the workshop attached to his room in the second floor of House One for any "patients". Otherwise, throughout the week he can be found frequenting the tea house or the library. He does look up research from other worlds related to the nature of fear.]

[ooc: Also an ooc note! As part of his research, Jade may have tried kind of stalking fellow residents. If you can, note in your comments things that Jade could have observed either by watching in person or through public journal conversations, particularly related to the characters having developed fears. Thanks!]

[And at the tea house, it's very likely he will run into Freyjadour working his usual shift. His fear was still going strong, sadly, but it wasn't a difficulty at all when he was indoors and out of the sunlight here. He was only forced to carry an umbrella outside.

He comes out of the kitchen when Jade walks in, smiling politely.]
Welcome.

But...the shift ended for me normally.

[Yes, it just made you into a 9 year old. It's not like a 9 year old can be afraid of cookies.]

I suppose it is. [Not that Freyjadour was very appreciative of it today or for quite a while now at all. Jade would have probably noticed he was always carrying an umbrella when outdoors, and storing it in the backroom of the tea shop if he ever catches Frey arriving at any point for his shift. He was trying to keep his fear an unobtrusive as possible, after all. He approaches the table Jade takes a seat at, ever genial.] How may I serve you today, Jade?

[Trunks had seen Jade's video over the network and decides to answer him.]

Hello Colonel Curtiss, would it be possible for us to meet today? I'm exhibited one of these odd fears you spoke about. Oh, my name is Trunks. Trunks Brief.

Thanks again, Colonel. That sounds fine with me and I'm glad to be helping you out with this as well. Doing research and development was part of my job back home.

That's awfully generous of you, Colonel.

[And definitely news to him. What kind of therapy was that "coochie-coochie" business back at Kaitzur, anyway??]

[So Saleh wasn't the only one who had developed his fear. He should have suspected it was a shift of sorts.]

Hmm...I had found myself afflicted with a sudden fear of fire, despite the fact that the most basic magic spell from my world is fire. The fear seems to have passed now, odd though it may be.

Oh not at all. My family's company involves itself in human research and development as well. We've helped build a number of hospitals in the city and helped companies research medicine and treatment to improve the lively hood of people.

[That would be because they've not met. She's seen his broadcasts...and heard of him from Barnaby at least.]

Well, that's fine. Is there a time that works best for you?

If you have a reputation, isn't that an earned one? After all, it's strange to advertise it right off before anyone accepts.

Alright, I can make it then. It's not like I have much going on in this body.

[And with that, she'll shut the journal. And around 2PM, Jade will get a knocking on his door.]

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2013-11-25 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm...

[Just to be absolutely certain, Saleh lifts a hand and conjures a fireball, hovering over his palm. He holds it in the view of the video screen, showing that he is completely unaffected by it, physically, mentally, or emotionally.]

I would say that it has. Though I cannot say if it has passed on its own, or if I've managed to overcome it on my own.

Mostly...I had tried to face it. To be near fire, regardless of how my heart pounded, or how my skin crawled, or how badly I wanted to simply flee from it. I ended up fleeing from it, but I'd tried to resist that urge for as long as I could.
