Just doing a check - how many of you can make some kind of portable healing item? Like... a potion or stimulant, or, dunno, a cake, or something that'll heal injuries quickly. Missions are getting pretty dangerous, and with it liking to split the teams up so much, I figure it'd be good to start thinking about back-up plans in case a team's healer is taken out of commission or ends up 'visiting the control coach' during mission week.

[ Like her, for example. ]

Just... gimme an idea of what you can make, and what you'd need for it, I guess. Reply to standard coach, or come and talk to me.

[ She reaches towards the screen, then pauses. ] Oh, right. I've finished writing up my notes of the missions so far, so if you want to come and give 'em a look, get an idea of what you'll be doing in the future, that's fine too.

[ Bwip. ]

[ About ten minutes later, she's back: ] Just repeating something Tidus said - it'd be good to know the same for defensive supplies. Stun grenades, nets, deployable barriers. Magic or whatever else that does the same thing.

[Nita extends both the soda'd hand and her free one.]

I think I should be able to give you a boost, if needed. I've got energy to spare, though I can't do that trick!

['That' being, of course, converting energy drinks into health potions.]

[Noct takes the soda and then shakes her hand. He looks at the soda thoughtfully.]

Let's try this first, and then we can finish the energy drinks.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

You can share your energy? If so, that's good. I have remarkably low stamina. It's kind of embarrassing.

[Nita nods, letting both hands drop once Noct's done.]

I've done power-sharing for spells before. This doesn't seem too far different for being from another world's system...

[In other words, they can bridge any potential gaps themselves.]

[Noct nods as he places a hand over the soda. The blue light comes back as he tries to shift it. It's always hard to tell if it takes, because it doesn't change in anyway.]

That's pretty useful. I'm sure there are others here that have powers that could use amplifying.

[Nita has Bobo run the same scan he'd done for the energy drink on this, and she nods.]

Looks like it took on that, too. That'll make future preparations a lot easier if we can just order the cheaper stuff.

[Nita gives a wry grin.]

Though that means I spent a lot more than I had to, too.

Ready to take on the big load?

That's great! Not that kids should be drinking too much soda...but they definitely shouldn't be drinking energy drinks...so this will help widen the population of people that can use the potions.

[He grins and nods.]

Yeah, I'm ready.

[He goes to grab a case of energy drinks and puts his hand over it.]

I'm guessing we've been having trouble with medics and healing during missions? I didn't go on the last one, so...

[Nita shifts around so she can put a hand on Noctis' shoulder if it looks like he's flagging.]

Yeah, there were a lot of monsters to fight, and some tough ones leading them. Some giant jellyfish thing? And a sentient mass of water that fought those on the island.

Us on Orange only had to deal with crabs, though, and I think Purple was mostly the same, so you didn't miss too much on those fronts.

[Nita shakes her head.]

That, and a lot of people come and go, at the platforms; we need something more reliable than that.

[Noct appreciates that she's got his back. He does feel like he could do more with her there.]

Yeah, I couldn't...I couldn't go on that mission. Being surrounded by angry currents of water brought back some really bad, really recent memories.

[He remembers Gladio disappearing for that week, and is glad he didn't leave at the platform.]

That makes sense. I'll help as much as I can.

[Nita winces.]

I can understand that.

[Blood in the water, a memory rings out. Nita carefully sets it aside.]

Well, we've certainly got healing covered now.

[Nita focuses, reaching for the peridexis in the back of her mind.]

Let me know when you need a top-up yourself, okay? Or just a break.

[ Sweet Naga, please, no talk about computers, he can already feel another "why is modern technology so strange" headache coming on...

Instead he just quickly starts looking at the notes. ]

.. ah, this was the first one I went on. [ He points at #16125 - Catfish. ] I remember helping people evacuate. Does that really mean I've only missed two missions? It almost seemed to me as if you all had been doing this for way longer already.

[Noct nods, letting the subject drop. No need to pull down the mood. After two cases, he stops.]

Yeah, gonna need that top-up now. Seriously, I wish I could build up my stamina...

[Nita supports Noct with that hand on his shoulder, mentally reaching for the peridexis to set a power-donation spell in motion...]

It's not like working a muscle, huh?

[She could sympathize.]

...seriously! Have you been paying attention lately? Who do you think supplied the WRO with all their high tech for rebuilding and finding a painkiller for the Geostigma!?

SHINRA, that's who!

...gee, thanks. [In the tone of C Flat.]

You can always count on me, sir.

[Elena can be a sarcastic little shit sometimes.]

Well you know, I do have the ability to cure and heal-

( she paused for a moment, holding up a white sphere to the screen. )

With my white mage sphere. Did you want me to show you what I can do?

No he didn't. Cloud and Areith healed Geostigma. Were you brainwashed or something?

I didn't say cure, dumbass. I said we developed the painkiller everyone was using to mitigate the pain before it was cured! It would have been way worse without it.

Yeah, yeah. Whatever.

You said you worked with Reeve but I guess you didn't work that closely. Tch.

Its' not that. It just feels like there is no point in talking to you. All you do is make excuses for ShinRa after the things they did.

What's the point of arguing?

[It's just making her tired.]

Because I'm trying to prove a point and you won't listen! We're trying to help rebuild the world There's no point in dwelling on the past when we have to worry about the future.

[Also the past makes him Feel things and he doesn't like that, so he'd rather...just praise Shinra and hope they make it through and get back to business as usual. It's...his whole life.

Plus he's a butthead who just doesn't know how to leave well enough alone so, ya know.]

You don't listen to me. Why should I listen to you?

I'm sorry. What you said was in the past... and I am focusing on the future.

[She sticks out her tongue this time.

Like a true mature adult.]

I've been giving some thought to the last matter, actually.

[She does eventually get to responding to this. ~~It's not at all anyone's fault for responding belatedly~~]

There's a plant from my homeland which produces seeds with stunning properties, and I took the liberty of requesting one for the train's use.

Can't hurt. [ a pause. ] ... Uh, I guess it can. But go ahead.
