Day 203 | The sick are recovering! (Open)

[freedom_engineer]

WHO: Colin, any recovering folks, any visitors.
OPEN: Open like a door
WHEN: Day 203 (BACKDATED)
WHAT: The cure has been found and administered. Check up on the sick, why don't you?
WHERE: The hospital
FORMAT: However you want, go nuts
WARNINGS: Recovering people, probable sass, and of course, Colin.



After six days of paranoia, and three days of absolute terror, things were finally looking up. A cure had been delivered, and with it, the calamity survivors had been able to synthesize more than enough doses of cure for the plague to safeguard the Bastion. It had been administered to the sick, and now all that was needed was to make sure that everyone recovered.

Colin, of course, was going to be visiting everyone to make sure that there weren't any complications. It wouldn't do to have anyone in danger after they'd made it through to the end. He had yet to take off his environmental suit though, his own paranoia was significant.

(OOC: I figure this will be a good opportunity for people to do a little more mingling, and get their bearings after the plague. The quarantine has been lifted, though Colin still wants people washing their hands frequently. If you want Colin to check up on the sick, he can do that! If you want someone else to check up on the sick, by all means! The threat is passed, now rejoice, hug your sick loved ones, and let's move on!)

What are you thinking of when you say 'elemental magic'? Like your friend with the fire?

[croceamors]

If setting people on fire and being smug about it is something you enjoy, fire is an option.

[The water is very carefully put to the side, Saix damned determined not to drop it and look like an ass. After that, well, his arm just goes over his eyes like blocking out all light will help make him feel NOT shitty.]

Air... Ice. Earth. Water. Lightning. Plantlife. Easiest to start with.

[dontyoujustwish]

Well... [She hasn't so much set people on fire as indirectly caused them to catch on fire, but that's probably semantics.] I have enjoyed it in the past, but I don't think I would anymore. There are unpleasant smells and other sensations involved. [Like feeling bad for them.]

Anyway it seems a little whimsical to just pick an element and go with it.

[croceamors]

Process of elimination.

[dontyoujustwish]

Which do you think is most appealing?

[croceamors]

[Give him a minute to think.]

Water. Ice. Multiple uses, and most people have a vast percentage of water in their bodies.

[dontyoujustwish]

You're right, I could probably find a spell to shrivel someone right up, if I had any decent books.

[Anya no.]

[croceamors]

I'd help more, but only know a basic ice spell.

[dontyoujustwish]

You mean one of your Latin-for-dummies spells?

[croceamors]

Yes.

[His hand shifts so that he can sort of... okay he can't really glare or narrow his eye intimidatingly because he's sick, so more squinting.]

...I didn't make the magic system in my universe. For the record.

[dontyoujustwish]

I never said you did, but it does sound like whoever did created it to be idiot-proof.

Are you having trouble seeing?

[croceamors]

Things are mostly... dizzying. It's annoying.

[dontyoujustwish]

You can close your eyes if you want, I already know you find me attractive.

[croceamors]

[And he'll do that, maybe actually sort of smirking as he does so.]

If I said otherwise, I'd be on some sort of list, likely.

[dontyoujustwish]

Well, you certainly wouldn't be in my bed.

[croceamors]

Just don't set me on fire.

[dontyoujustwish]

[She rolls her eyes, even if he can't see it.]

That would be exceptionally uncreative of me and you know it.

[croceamors]

I apologize for not giving you enough credit.

[dontyoujustwish]

[Anya takes a seat on the edge of his bed and gives him another, less awkward shoulder pat.]

You're recovering from an illness which may still make thinking difficult for you. I'll forgive you.

[croceamors]

What a good friend.

[They did decide they were sort of friends, yes? He's fairly certain of that, even if he is less certain his ability to walk.]

[dontyoujustwish]

Yes, I can be very understanding.

[She'll take all her gold stars for friendship, thank you.]

[croceamors]

Hmmm. So are you visiting every sick fool here, then?

[dontyoujustwish]

Mostly the attractive ones.

[croceamors]

If you find someone to replace me, let me know.

[dontyoujustwish]

I think of it more as adding to the roster.

Unless that bothers you.
