Hey, Felix? I reckon I figured out what that thing I lost is.

As for the rest of y'all, which ones of you are healers, and what're your rates?

[lord_wizard]

Does this have something to do with why I haven't seen you half the day?

[Hard to tell if he's annoyed or worried, really]

[ dictated ]

[kethedammit]

It might. [A pause.] Can you make it so other folks can't see this shit?

dictated

[inafadingcrown]

Most are willing to see to those in need without charge- myself included.

dictated

[kethedammit]

Okay. What can you do, how long you been doing it?

[ dictated; Filter to Mildmay ]

[lord_wizard]

You'll have to write it back. Or just say my name first.

felix, dictated.

[kethedammit]

Okay, got it.

So, uh. [Mildmay doesn't really know how to say this...] I'm lost.

[ dictated; Mildmay forever]

[lord_wizard]

[Well, that's something he'd never though he'd hear]

You're...what? Is this like what happened in Klepsydra?

[Saints and powers don't let him be in the Insolitus]

[heal_theworld]

[A blink.] ...I don't charge, especially not for healing. I work in the clinic, that's enough.

dictated, felix forever.

[kethedammit]

Powers, no. It's like... [Mildmay isn't very good with words, but conversing over the journals allows him time to reorient his thoughts on how to phrase abstract concepts. After a pause, he says:] Like it's blocked. What keeps me from getting lost, I mean. It ain't working no more. [Mildmay had his moment of panic before he made the post; now he just sounds dolorous and resigned.]

[kethedammit]

Okay. How good're you, and how much experience you got?

[inafadingcrown]

I can do a great many things; it might be easier to ask what you require. As for my experience, I was trained in such things when I was but a slip of a girl and I have put a great many years behind me since then. [Understatement of the year award.]

[heal_theworld]

Pretty good, if i do say so myself, and I've been able to heal since I was 14, so...a good ten years or so. I traveled a lot and was the main healer for my group of travelers.

...Why, what do you need?

[lord_wizard]

[It takes him a few moments to decide how it was best to respond to that]

That does sound like a loss.

Do you need me too...?

[kethedammit]

Nothing right now, but I been told this place can get hairy when it ain't turning everything into pies. You mind being called in for emergencies?

[kethedammit]

Uh, I mean, like, how bad do things gotta get before you can't do nothing to help?

[kethedammit]

Shit, yeah, I guess. I tried to use the damn binding-by-forms, but that didn't help for nothing. [It told him what direction Felix was in, certainly, but without his sense of direction, it was like being a blind cat on garbage day. He could tell there was something he wanted nearby, or in a certain direction, but he couldn't get at it for nothing.]

[The thought makes Mildmay tired, and it slips into his voice, for Felix only.] Sorry.

[heal_theworld]

I don't mind at all.

And yes, this place can get dangerous sometimes.

[kethedammit]

Yeah, so they tell me. You got a name?

[heal_theworld]

Martel Yggdrasill. Pleased to meet you...?

[kethedammit]

Gilroi Felter. So I'll ask for Martel at the clinic and they'll know what's up?

[inafadingcrown]

It would require circumstances worse than we are like to see, unless this place breaks out into war.

[kethedammit]

Okay. [Weird.] So you're good for broken bones and fucked arteries?

[inafadingcrown]

[Oh, if he thinks she's weird now...] Certainly. I have seen far worse.

[wishmadeinfire]

The clinic has healers available at no charge, though if there are others stronger, I cannot say. The Castle provides almost everything for us, so there is real need for an exchange of money for things.

[Filtered to Mildmay; dictated]

[lioneyed]

Like Nephele, I don't believe the infirmary staff charge, here.

And I don't think anyone's going to use it against you if you tell them the truth.
