[runicfeathers]

[Following a conversation earlier with Persephone and getting the Goddesses' help with something, Willow is sitting in the greenhouse car when the video comes on, holding a plant and its seed pack up for everyone to see before she lowers it.]

I have two things to bring to everyone's attention. The first is this flower here, it is from my world and known as the Dawnflower. It has medical and magical properties, but please do not try and use it without informing me, as it can be dangerous to handle without care. It is a key component in many potions and restoratives where I am from, and many mages grow them to make those to restore their mana. If you need to use them, by all means I welcome it so long as you ask me first and take care to plant another seed. [She now holds up a hefty leather bound book.] The recipes to make them are found here, and this book will be with me at all times, all you need to is ask and I will allow its usage if you return it when done.

The second, more concerning issue I have noticed, is that we seem to be losing healers and medics these past platforms. So I must ask, who all of us with medical knowledge remain here? Even the basic knowledge could be incredibly useful, and for those who are magically inclined, I offer my teachings for healing magicks.


(OOC: You're free to just go to action in the greenhouse car to her, since that's where she'll be the whole day. Threadjacking is absolutely okay with me as well, just make sure the other person is!)

I've got some healing spells, but they're not very powerful. I'd be open to taking on some training if anyone wants to take the time for that... though a basic first aid class might not be a bad idea if anyone wants to take that on.

I know anatomy, but it's mostly 'how did this thing kill this person?' than 'how do I make it so this thing doesn't kill this person?'.

[runicfeathers]

I would be more than happy to help you with the healing spells, we can do some along with the archery practice. I have more than enough time to help with that, and it gives me time to practice more as well.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

I've been taking shifts in medical regularly, and worked with Ichigo a few times. I'm mostly a magic healer, but I know basic first aid and field aid. I'm not sure the kind of magic healing I do CAN be taught, but I have no problem teaching potions or things to help that are non-magical.

[runicfeathers]

[Willow does not respond back immediately, clenching her jaw with some frustration. Raven looks like the elves she knew back home that her people did not get on well with, nor did the rest of Rivaersa for that matter. An array of emotions flash on her face before she takes a deep breath to calm her boiling hostility beneath.

She needs to be diplomatic, team-friendly. She can confront Raven privately over her personal issues.]

If you're that adept with potion making, I could lend you my book if you'd like to learn them and give lessons. [Another pause, taking a deep breath, attempting to remove the hostility in her tone.] However, I wish to speak with you in private about such things before I do.

[deage]

I've been taking several [ many ] shifts in Medical already.

[runicfeathers]

[Excuse her confusion Haibara, Willow seeing and hearing a young child taking on such a responsibility is making her thoughts short out for a moment until she can finally say something:]

For someone so young, you're helping out so much. You must be quite skilled!

[oncedriven]

[It's one of the newcomers who responds, long red hair clashing with the blue hoodie he apparently just lives in now. Let's not talk about the fact that he's pulling a glove back on, out of view of the camera, because he needed his hand to use the touch screen.]

I'm a healing blade - more on the 'magical healer' end, but I can handle anything up to broken ribs. Organ damage is a maybe and things that aren't injuries, you're going to want a doctor, I can't help with that.

[He shrugs, pushing some hair behind his ear as he talks.]

As far as training goes, not much more than first aid and field medicine. It's hard to really qualify since a lot of it's instinct for healing blades. We're just born with it.

[Maybe one of his component blades actually learned, in the distant past. Maybe healing blades actually do learn it, and the memory of learning it is lost the way blade memories always are. But Asch is just confident that he knows it.]

... Should work well enough on people who aren't human or blades, too. I haven't tested it out, but as far as I know blade healing works fine on animals, so I don't think there will be any problems.

[crimsonsnow]

[Did Asch just say this while Jade was sitting next to him? Sure did. Jade sits up straighter and looks to his partner.]

What do you mean you're a healing blade.

[That would have been nice to know this before he went and hassled medical about this exact problem.]

[mtsilver_conquor]

I know basic and survival first aid, and now that I've 'Nona, I can use him and or Dancer to keep a person warm if needed.

Fire-types run hotter than you'd expect.

[forceshadowed]

[ Well color Jaisyn interested. ]

I'm not a medic or a healer, but I do know some... techniques. I would be interested to learn how yours work, if you're serious about the offer.

[runicfeathers]

I am very serious about this offer, the more who can heal or provide medical assistance, the better. The missions we go on can be quite dangerous, so the more who know things, the less stressed we medics can be.

I would be interested in your techniques as well, if you're willing to share?

video

[blitzcheer]

[ Whoooa, plants so they can just grow their own restorative potions? Tidus hears Raven's capabilities to make the potions, and if she's up for the whole 'making the potions' portion...! ]

Hey, your book got other plants we could get to help out with those kind of potions? 'Cause those are pretty handy around here.

[runicfeathers]

It does! However, the Dawnflower is compatible with many methods and ingredients in making potions, including by pure magic alone. Many favour it for that reason, because it is able to be used in many ways.

[innumerable ways that she's experimented with and seen the apothecaries use them, many of which aren't even listed in the book itself. All have varying strengths to them, ranging from minor boosts to a full restore to mana or health.]

It is also the easiest to grow, the others are much more temperamental and I do not believe the train could keep up with their needs. [Despite Persephone's aid, but she doesn't want to rely on her to pour magic into them so often.]

Video, answered so everyone can hear him

[10billionpercent]

I'm a doctor and I've been working with medical in some capacity since I arrived here, but I have been doing many more shifts lately considering what happened. At home I work in the capacity of a general practitioner and surgeon, meaning if you need palliative care or are having an emergency don't hesitate to find me, whether I'm in medical at the moment or not.

I've also managed to pick up a healing spell, my magic abilities are in their infancy however, comparatively.

[ He's not powerful, not yet, but he's trying. ]

Anyone interested in learning more there are books in medical, but I caution that's not likely to be best in an emergency, nor is it quite enough to substitute for a medical program, as they're succinct and not informative enough, however if more books are needed to give more of a clearer picture on how to train yourself in medicine, I have had no problem getting books of that nature from the shop.

The desk references in there are meant for people who have the foundational knowledge, unfortunately.

[bodyoftheseus]

Compared to many others around here I'm not particularly helpful, but I'm rather skilled at first aid and field type care. Setting bones, giving stitches, improvised splints, that kinda stuff. Can't do surgery but can keep ya alive to get ya to someone who can.

I'm also relatively skilled with cybertech care as well. If it's an internal system I'm not so much help, but something external like my arms I can generally get into a passable state.

Been meaning to go through 'n see if we got any medical books so that my Agent could digitize them 'n store 'em to walk me through things in the future.

[runicfeathers]

All of those skills are very useful, first aid can extend a life at the very least! I am unfamiliar with cyber tech, that does not exist where I come from, but it sounds helpful?

[Forgive her practically zero-technology world and very basic knowledge of it on the train, she has a lot to learn still.]

This book I have, it could be of use perhaps? There are various magic spells, but there are also many recipes for potions and such if you would like to look at them. [A beat, and then, recalling the acupuncture book Wen Qing had ordered that had been in her care for a while:] I also have a book about medicine that Wen Qing had gotten for me to read.

[outofyourshadow]

[ Lena is mostly just listening to the announcement, still getting used to everything. But after a while of fiddling with the terminal, she figures out how to reply. ]

I can...try to learn healing magic? I've never really done it before.

[runicfeathers]

[If she hadn't seen Della around before, Willow would have had a very different reaction to Lena, but instead of confusion she just nods a little.]

Have you ever done any magic before? I would be happy to teach you if you can perform such a thing, and even help you try if you never have.

[gathersnomoss]

I'm another person who has some basic healing spells, but it's not my specialty. I also know a bit about herbs, mostly if you need another set of hands for preparation.

[magicurls]

I can reverse injuries with my magic and I'm still here. I'll learn anything I can.

[runicfeathers]

I am glad you're still around, Mami, your help has been very appreciated. [Especially with the wing injury on Erda.]

[foxyou]

...I have experience with basic first aid, and an extensive knowledge of medicinal herbs. Though I suppose the usefulness of the latter would depend on the availability of the plants I'm familiar with.

video

[deadwenwalking]

I... have some medical knowledge. Traditional, ah... Chinese? Mostly.

[That seems to be the term everyone is using.]

Wen Qing is my sister. Though I'm nowhere near as good as her.

[Since she seems to have been fairly well known for her healing, as she should have been.]

[runicfeathers]

[Wen Qing's brother he says? How strange, and sad, that the train would send him after she's left... she couldn't imagine if her own brother came and she herself left.]

I knew your sister, she was teaching me medicine from your world before she left. Certainly your aid would be just as welcomed as hers.

[officedragon]

I've also got knowledge of plants and herbs. And poisons, so I might be somewhat effective when it comes to antidotes! Believe it or not, I've also had some experience as a midwife in the past, not that I'm sure that's a necessity here. But you did ask!

[Mostly because Hecate thinks the train would just...pause that, with what she's been told they're here for. But hey, it could surprise her...]

[runicfeathers]

[THAT makes her pause, but it's an incredibly useful thing to know how to do. Strange, but she did ask after all, and the honesty is respected.]

Antidotes would be lovely to have, although I am... unsure if this Dawnflower here possesses those properties, although it has a counterpart known as the Duskflower which is lethal. I've heard that it is used for antidotes, but it's much more dangerous to handle and I'd not want others to get themselves poisoned by touching it.

[That includes the animals as well, since she's not exaggerating that the plant is lethal.]

Audio

[sciencegirl]

I have some! I've mostly worked with cybernetic enhancements if that's helpful.

I also should be receiving a specialized potion from Zelda soon. I can analyze its ingredients and possibly make it an additional healing option.

Re: Audio

[runicfeathers]

[Give her a moment to at least attempt to understand any of that, Entrapta, because she's from a very non-tech world.]

If you would not mind, could you explain what those are? The enhancements I mean. Forgive me, the world I come from does not have those things.

[As for the potion, that piques her interest.]

That could prove very useful!

[saveas]

Um...I can do some healing magic. I never got to practice it all that much, though.

[runicfeathers]

If you would like, I can aid you in improving it? Healing magic is one of the magicks I am well-versed in and would not at all mind helping.

[agoodsoul]

[He doesn't reply right away, he doesn't feel like he'd really be helpful with people who can use magic, but may as well!]

Uhh, I know basic first aid and CPR? Not a doctor or nothing, but I can treat simple wounds and fractures. Nothing serious.

[runicfeathers]

[In her opinion, any help is good help in healing and medicine.]

Even that could be quite helpful, on missions or off of them. Have you considered to join us in medical on shifts?

[The more people the better, really.]

[averyusefultray]

I know basic battlefield first aid. Enough to keep someone alive to get them to a proper medic.

[Needing to know something is an occupational hazard]

[emerald_mirror]

I can heal some and you know I'm decent with plant life. [Yeah, 'heal some' is a major understatement, but he doesn't want to reveal that much over such a public channel.]

I'll help any way I can, you know that.

[runicfeathers]

I will take whatever help I can get, Xander. Your help is always welcomed from me.

[The tone is soft and kind, overwhelmingly grateful of his offer.]

[thawed_pride]

Well, that is quite convenient. I have recently acquired some seeds and bulbs for magical and medicinal herbs from my own world, useful in the brewing of the restorative potions I am familiar with.

I happen to know the recipes for many such potions, as well as having not insignificant skill with healing magic. Biology also happens to be among my scientific specialties, and I am capable of treating common illnesses or, if necessary, performing general surgery.

Assuming they've had their convo from the other log

[runicfeathers]

If I may ask, what are the seeds and bulbs of your world like? Perhaps they could be of use with the Dawnflower, as it is compatible with many things.

[motherofresistance]

I have a little bit of both sorts: some mundane medical knowledge and some more supernatural healing abilities, though how they might compare to anyone else's, I couldn't say just now. I'm open to getting together and comparing notes though, once I've had a chance to properly settle in.

I've also got some knowledge of potion making, and of other ways of using plants for therapeutic purposes. And I've gotten rather good at getting stubborn patients to stay put in their beds, if I do say so myself.

[runicfeathers]

If you would like to find me later, I will be in this car, the greenhouse, all day. I would love to hear more of the healing abilities and knowledge of potions you have!

We do need more people who can keep the injured in their beds... [there's definitely a huff alongside this, frustrated at stubborn patients.]

[intelinside]

I have experience with first aid. Basic treatment of minor injuries and illnesses mostly, but I can handle splints and stitches, and I've taken a CPR course.

I can also make, fix, and upgrade medical equipment, if I have the necessary parts.

[fivemilesdeep]

I have healing magic, and I'm trained in field medicine and herbology.

I'd like to learn more about the Dawnflower, if you don't mind.

Sorry for possibly confusing word-vomit

[runicfeathers]

[Ryo's face is a delight to see, and she nods at his words, knowing the boy is a healer at the very least but lights up at him also knowing herbology and field medicine.]

Wonderful!

[Now for the Dawnflower, she thinks a moment to best explain it simply at first.]

The Dawnflower is a common flower which is grown in my world that possesses incredible potential for healing, commonly used in potions that restore one's mana but it can also be used to restore life energy alongside mana. It is highly compatible in many potions and with many herbs for healing, as well as the methods to create them. The flower petals have the most power, but the leaves are also useful for them as well as salves. Although.. I am not very skilled in making salves, so I cannot tell you about those, but this book could.

[controlsthedie]

I have a manadrive that can heal, but beyond healing during battle, I'm not sure I'd be a welcome sight in medical. Save me for the field.

[ He's just being honest. He's... also not going to announce why he wouldn't be a welcome sight the first day of new arrivals. It's not a secret he's Death Incarnate, but the newbies have enough to adjust to. ]

[runicfeathers]

[This confuses her slightly until she remembers back to the river incident with Rich, having a vague idea but not entirely sure either. Instead of prodding him about that, the manadrive does catch her attention as well.]

Manadrives? Are those the things Lightning talked about?

[She hadn't been paying too much attention at the time, having been busy elsewhere.]
