When: Right here, right now

[ Waking up somewhere unusual isn't the strange part; that's something he's grown depressingly used to in his sorry excuse for a life. But waking up in a place that isn't Konoha, isn't his world, and is instead an uncomfortably familiar confined technological nightmare of a ship with the distinct feeling that something is off is outside his limited comfort zone.

He gets his bearings first before going for his communicator, head further dizzied by a displayed date that doesn't match up with what he remembers. ]

I have a gap in my memory. Is this a normal occurrence here?

[ And that's it, that's his whole message after being absent for who knows how long. How quintessentially Sasuke. how much did he drink ]

Not exactly. When you touch someone, you share something with them. Could be feelings or emotions or worse, whole memories.

I don't usually mind sharing, but a guy could use some warning.

[ Well. That's the worst thing he's heard since waking up. ]

In that case it's best avoided at all costs. I'll take advantage of your no doubt painfully learned lesson in order to minimize my own risk.

[Sorry bro. Better to learn that now than say, planetside.]

Good luck. If you manage to succeed, you should let the rest of us know.

The locals are way more affectionate than I've seen, and that's saying something.

If anyone tries to touch me without my consent then I'll consider a measured violent response warranted.

[....Sasuke.]

I get that, but try not to beat them up?

I don't exactly feel like spending the night in the medbay.

[eyeforaneye]

It's your choice whether you have to spend time there or not, either way. I'm not going to kill anyone.

[stefanged]

Thank you. That's really all I need to know.

See, I took the Hippocratic Oath back home. If anyone's in need of a medic and I'm around, I can't ignore them.

[eyeforaneye]

You took an oath that forces you to help anyone who's hurt? That sounds like a mistake.

[stefanged]

Maybe, but it's a necessary part of being a doctor.

What good is healing if you don't use it?

[eyeforaneye]

What good is healing if you use it to heal someone that'll hurt more people?

Fair point.

In the case of this planet, though? Most of this physical touch's unintentional.
