What sort of medicine is practiced here? Is it modern?

Dear castle,

I am interested in the agriculture of this world. Not necessarily botany, but I suppose that is fine as well. Have there been any developments towards advancing crop cultivation, or do even the townsfolk resort to simply wishing for their food as well?

Sincerely,
Rosalie Cullen

We all practice what we're comfortable with, I think. I'm from the twenty-first century, for example. But some of us are from different worlds and their healing methods are a little different.

[hvic]

The twenty first century on Earth? I am from that time as well.

Are the machines we are familiar with accessible here?

[filter]

[spongetastic]

Some of them. When Dr. House was here, he managed to get a lot of machines from our century to the clinic.

[filter]

[hvic]

Hm. Do you have technicians for them? I am licensed for operating a majority of machines before the turn of the century.

[spongetastic]

We haven't needed them very much. People don't get hurt here very often, and get sick even more rarely.

Depends on the world, and that world's definition. Moderately unfamiliar with many of these medicines, however some of them seem less effective than the methods of my own world.

[clinic filter]

[hvic]

What are you used to?

[clinic filter]

[radiantwingedone]

Formula, although also known as "spells". Example; problem known as 'cancer', unknown.

[clinic filter]

[hvic]

Magic, then.

[clinic filter]

[radiantwingedone]

Correct.

I practise 21st Century Medicine and Surgery, if necessary. The best thing is the numerous backgrounds of medicine people have here.

Clinic Filter

[hvic]

That hardly seems like the best thing.

Clinic Filter

[atadiscoverer]

On the contrary, with more practitioners from different worlds, we can easily combat illnesses, viruses an diseases from other worlds, if the situation arises that we need to.

Clinic Filter

[hvic]

I suppose that is one benefit. Has it happened often, diseases from other worlds appearing here?

Clinic Filter

[atadiscoverer]

Once, while I've been here.

[oh hey, the name seems familiar. (The subject matter makes her of half a mind to point Kyouko here as a bitter joke, too, but that's beside the point)]

I think I've seen some people grow vegetables in the castle's garden. More as a hobby than for subsistence, though.

[hvic]

I have noticed.

[squartatore]

It's not something that people think too hard about. Or have interest in.

[hvic]

What a shame. Agriculture is a wide field with many advantage if you know what you are dealing with.

[squartatore]

How so? [isn't it just a business of planting stuff...]

[Oh, it's dis chick. That was easy enough to track her down.

He answers her handwriting in kind, though his is not at all as perfect as hers. It's slanted and there are some smudges here and there; he's obviously left-handed.]

From what I hear, you're not interested in agriculture at all.

This Man

[hvic]

Oh? Enlighten me on what you've heard.

Rosalie

[hellshaped]

That you like to hunt.

This Man

[hvic]

There is no law against hunting here.

People don't really like it when their pets are murdered. Go figure.
