[ The message begins with a clearing of the throat before a smooth voice filters through the ocular network; that of the very distinctive cadence of Dr. Ratio. He speaks calmly and lower than he usually does in an attempt to evoke a soothing tone that is not present in his usual manner of speech. ]

Given recent circumstances, I imagine many of you may be finding it difficult to rest and relax. You cannot be faulted for that; as of late, I have often found myself plagued with an active mind during the night, when I ought to be asleep. However, it is important to allow your body and mind to recuperate from injury and exertion. When one's body is exhausted, so too is the mind sluggish, and vice versa. Baths are quite effective at soothing the body and clearing the mind. I encourage you to make frequent use of the spa's public bath once we return to base.

[ There's a pause here and then another clearing of the throatβ€”one that sounds like a cover up for embarrassment. ]

But I digress. The purpose of this message was not to provide a lecture on self-care.

I... have been told by students before that my voice has a particularly pleasing quality that is easy on the ears. A few have been audacious enough to inform me that they use my lesson recordings to put themselves to sleep. In light of that... I would like to offer my voice to be used as a sleeping aid for any who would benefit from it.

I have attached a link to several of the lesson recordings I have created since my arrival on this planet.

[ Anyone who is curious enough to peruse the offerings will find neatly named audio files for an undergraduate semester's worth of several subjects, ranging from math to physics to biology, among more. There's almost 50 files in total, and each one of them comes with a text transcription accompanying it. ]

You may utilize these as you desire, though I do hope you find an interest in the subject itself. There is never a better moment than now to start learning something new.

In addition, I am open to recording new material if you find none of these are relaxing to listen to. And if you desire a conversational partner to debate with on topics unrelated to what weighs on your mind, I am happy to fulfill that role.

As always, if you have any questions, you may ask me at any time, provided that you have thought carefully and determined the answer to be worthwhile to know.

Of course not, or you'd have pay walled it to begin with.
Just trying to show my support! β™ͺ

But it couldn't have been an easy task to put this together, especially under such short notice. Where do you find the time?

Right? Last month's incident couldn't have come cheap.
I've missed seeing the doctor around.

Just to be sure: is this a joint bank account kind of situation? Gotta do my due diligence to know where exactly my contribution will go; you know how it is.

You could say that. But it's more like I earn the Kryptos to fund whatever it is my dear doctor wants. They'll get to him eventually, depending on what he needs and when.

Aw, c'mon. You gotta remember that it wasn't that long ago that kaiju were attacking their city. If I were still in schooling, my studies would be the last of my worries—sorry!!

But it has been… what, a little over half a year since. Maybe they'll feel more at ease now knowing that they won't be squandering what time they have left in a lecture hall. They deserve another shot.

Elysium!




Is this trouble in paradise brewing?

Melustanin...I have heard of it, but know very little; about as much as you'd just said. We've had dealings with a Knight of Beauty recently as well, so anything more you could tell me of that world would be much appreciated.

[(It sounds almost fairytale-like...good "bedtime story" material, funnily enough.)]

Now now, it's hardly spying when you're doing it so publicly. For a man who hid in a room for a week you're quite the exhibitionist~

Leave him be, Nee-sama.

Fine, fine.

[ Poor Kaga heaves the sigh of the long suffering. She's glad nobody else is in the area with her to see how badly her fur is standing on end. Her sister can be a real handful. ]

Sorry about her.

Have you been recovering well?

Maybe I'd be more inclined to answer if either of you were capable of keeping your metaphorical and physical mouths shut.

Maybe the two weeks I had to go without access to any currency made me reevaluate my priorities here. One can never go wrong with more money, Ratio. We have children to feed now.

That is just hateful of you. Treating us like this after you barely even suffered? What a cruel man the good Doctor takes to his bed.

Stop antagonizing him...

Why, that's barely scratched the surface! Would you like me to be more explicit?

[personal profile] harboredfeelings 2024-10-21 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate it.

[ And they're both very, very shocked at his timetable there. Is Ratio some sort of machine person?! It wouldn't be a surprise, or really color their opinions of him either way. They're aircraft carriers, what do they care if Ratio's some weird machine person? ]
