... It's fine. I know it wasn't real. I just... need to remember.

[ too bad his brain is swiss cheese ]

[ballies]

... Take your time. Trying to force everything back won't help -- sometimes it can make it harder to remember if you're forcing it.

[ wow! just like canon. ]

[selfimmolation]

... I'd rather forget about all of that.

[ballies]

[ he JUST said. ]

Then don't focus on it. If it comes back, it comes back. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Either way, you'll work through it.

[selfimmolation]

... Yeah. I guess so.

[ballies]

[ me, determined to keep these threads going so you have to keep tagging me dammit. ]

Have you at least seen Will, or had a remedy shoved at you yet? I don't know if that will help, but it might be worth trying.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah, yeah, I saw Will...

[ for the record. he just got generic first aid he never got real heals ]

[ballies]

[ i hate him. ]

...

[ she sighs. ] Alright.

Why is everyone so against getting checked over half the time?

[selfimmolation]

... I'm not against it, but these injuries aren't anything that big...

[ this is just his pain tolerance speaking ]

[ballies]

[ ... ]

You lost your eye last week and you're saying that to me.

[selfimmolation]

Okay, I definitely let Will heal me last week.

[ballies]

After telling us to have him heal everyone but you while you bled from your empty eye socket, yeah?

[selfimmolation]

That's triaging. The other two couldn't even stand on their own.

[ballies]

You were all really injured?? And eye wounds are bad! They can cause you to go into shock if they’re not treated for infection quickly!

[selfimmolation]

Yeah, yeah... it's fine now, so what does it matter?

[ IS IT FINE NOW ]

[ballies]

[ just



the infinitely exasperated MEN gesture every woman ever has used about any stupid guy she knows at some point in her life ]

Yeah, luckily. Luckily.

… We really need to have a better system for this. The amount of people willing to go “no, help them first” as they bleed out is weirdly heartwarming and concerning at the same time.

[selfimmolation]

The problem is, we've only got remedies and Will. It's not so easy.

[ballies]

Ace, there’s a hospital.

… I mean it’s run by Prinnies? But we can raid it for supplies. What’re the prinnies gonna do, “d00d” us until we get scared and run away?

[selfimmolation]

I went to the hospital last week!

[ WHY IS HE BEING BULLIED ]

[ballies]

[ :/ ]

I know! [ after being nagged. ] But if someone’s bad enough, and we get them to the hospital quickly enough…

[ sorry she’s in her own world now. ] They must have remedies there too, I wonder if I can persuade them we need a supply…

[selfimmolation]

I don't know if they have remedies. They didn't use any on me.

[ballies]

Really?

[ hmmm. ] Maybe they have something stronger...? Or just enough people that it doesn't matter as much.

[selfimmolation]

I didn't ask. I was just glad it wasn't penguins working.

[ballies]

[ …………… ]

Yeah, I’m not sure I’d trust them with a scalpel after seeing how they tackle fires.

[selfimmolation]

They have flippers.
