Yeah. [ he's not going into details he's not doxxing children trauma but ] I think that part was a lot worse than any injuries they got.

[ballies]

[ the kid's trauma... ]

... You can put a band-aid on a physical injury. But mental ones dig in and linger for a long time, and it's a long harder to treat what you can't see.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah. [ just. angy. ] This place gets worse every week.

[ballies]

… It’s always Thursday too. [ ban thursday. ]

What are we supposed to do…? Stock up and be prepared for something like this to happen again and again? The hospital can treat people to some extent, but if someone’s really badly hurt having a steady supply of Remedies will take the pressure off Will and get people out of the danger zone before they can be seen by a doctor.

[selfimmolation]

Everyone's been kind of holding onto them already, so I guess now they know to keep doing it, but... It's not much of a solution.

[ballies]

It's unlikely we'd get them and use them for no reason, but-- now we have more reason to stock up on them when we can. I normally have enough to get two of them a week...

[selfimmolation]

I'd never bought any before, but...

[ well. now he was like hm maybe i should've bought some as he watched children bleed out ]

[ballies]

I've bought enough Wonderballs to hold me over if we get a task to curse people. [ why would they? ] I can take on Remedy buying, if the rest of you have something you want to get.

[ and then satan died. ]

But unless I do something miraculous, two a week might be my limit.

[selfimmolation]

[ and then Satan died ]

I've got no clue how the amount of tokens we get is decided... But one or two a week should be enough. Three people got injured this week, but the rest of you guys came out alright.

[ballies]

It must have something to do with voting at trial, I'm guessing? [ if only because i had one more this week than last week, when i didn't trial ]

Maybe tasks, and heroics? But three seems to be the standards "I didn't do a damn thing" reward. Remedies don't heal a ton of damage though, right?

[selfimmolation]

I don't know. I got three last week, and four this week. [ ooc i know this is because we get paid out an amount as a team but i dont think ace learned it ic yet so now we get to learn together ] Remedies are minor heals, yeah. That might be problem.

[ballies]

[ naruhodo.... ]

Maybe we just need to check in and see how much we get and go from there? If someone comes back critically injured we're going to need more than a single remedy to help them.

[selfimmolation]

Stuff to tide them over so they don't bleed out is a start.

[ballies]

It's better than nothing, yeah.

[selfimmolation]

That's about what we're aiming for here.

[ballies]

[ go girl, give us barely anything: the attitude. ]

…

Maybe the leaders know where we can get something a little stronger. A remedy plus one or something.

[selfimmolation]

I guess there's no harm asking, but...

[ he has no faith ]

[ballies]

No one ever got hurt by asking. Usually.

[selfimmolation]

Hm. Just don't know how reliable these guys are, is all.

[ballies]

... I think they're as reliable as they can try to be. Whatever that counts for.

[selfimmolation]

Sure.

[ a little. dismissively ]

[ballies]

[ she just tilts her head at him. ]

[selfimmolation]

What?

[ballies]

You don't trust them on principle, or...?

[ well. ]

Rely, rather than trust, maybe.

[selfimmolation]

[ he shrugs ]

It's not principle. They've shown they're only going to work within the guidelines of this city. Rabbit outright said last weekend they're meant to be impartial when it comes to these trial things. And that's that.
