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.

The important thing is anyone can buy'em, so we can spread the cost. [ She sighs, relieved. ] This could save a lot of trouble. Thanks.

[sonoflucis]

We can see how many people are willing to help us with buying them. I think it's a good cause.

[He looks embarrassed.]

Don't worry about it. Just wanna help any way I can.

[enthunder]

[ She hums an agreement. ] You're Noctis, right? Got this far without asking...

[sonoflucis]

Hm? Yeah...

[Now he's actually red in the face.]

I'm guessing Ignis has mentioned me? Geez...

[enthunder]

You're on the roster, but... [ She raises an eyebrow, mercilessly, ] He might've. Once or twice.

[sonoflucis]

[He groans. It was embarrassing to have people know about you without knowing who they were!]

I'm not surprised. I didn't catch your name, though.

[enthunder]

[ She still looks mildly amused, but relents. ] It's Light.

[sonoflucis]

I've heard Iggy mention your name. It's nice to meet you.

[enthunder]

Likewise. [ Okay no, she can't resist another dig. ] ... Your Highness.

[sonoflucis]

[He groans.]

Just Noct, please.

[enthunder]

Noct, got it. I'm sending Nita your way about those potions. See you around?

[sonoflucis]

Yeah, when I’m not sleeping.

Approved threadjack!

[unfavorableinstigation]

I can get you... how's five packs to start sound?

[Even at 60 points, Nita can definitely afford it.]

[sonoflucis]

That's really generous of you!

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita grins.]

What can I say? I've got way too many points.

... Want to try it with just one, though, first?

And- does it work on sodas, you think, or just the energy drinks?

[She's still going to buy All The Energy drinks, but just for future reference...]

[sonoflucis]

[Noct looks surprised, like he's just had a revelation.]

I've never tried with soda... I know energy drinks work, but I would be willing to try with a soda... It would probably taste better to most people. I'll change any amount of energy drinks you want, though. I'm confident it'll work.

[Video] Shall we do an Action, or handwave? Either's fine by me.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[This could be the next Dread Spider Fashions, who knows???]

I'll bring one of the sodas too, then.

Meet you in the kitchen?

Action works!

[sonoflucis]

I'll see you there.

[He ends communication and slips on his shoes before heading to the kitchen. He has been looking for a way to be useful, and learning to cook has been going rather slow, so this is definitely more up his alley. He finds a snack as he waits, leaning against a counter. Meeting new people was never really his strong point, but he's trying!]

Re: Action works!

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita may be using a levitation spell (and, more pragmatically, one of the rare rolling-luggage packs from the Luggage Car) to carry most of the energy drinks, but she's carrying one energy drink and one Purple soda each in her hands into the kitchen.]

Afternoon. Nice to meet you, Noct!

I'd, ah, offer to shake hands, or something, but...

[Nita grins wryly at herself.]

Kinda failed to think this one through on my end. Which do you want to test first?

[sonoflucis]

[Noct offers her a smile and takes the energy drink from her hand.]

Nice to meet you, too, um...crap, did I get your name? Sorry, I'm terrible with them...

[He holds the energy drink in his hands, a blue light shining from them for just a moment before fading. The drink can itself doesn't look any different.]

That's all there is to it. We should probably label them or something...

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Nita shakes her head.]

I don't think we've actually talked before today; it's alright.

[The last mission had been kind of distracting...]

And my name's Nita.

[She raises an eyebrow at that brief blue light, before nodding. The peridexis, out of curiosity, subtly runs a scan and-]

Huh; looks like it took. We can mark out a section in the freezer in Stores, probably.

[Glancing between the energy drink, the soda in her other hand, and the luggage full of energy drinks behind her, she can't help but wonder:]

Think you have to handle each of these one-by-one, or will it work if you just put your hand on top of them?

[sonoflucis]

It's nice to meet you.

[Noct looks at the drinks.]

I think I can do four at a time. Just a warning, though. If I start nodding off, stop me, okay?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[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.]

[sonoflucis]

[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.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[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.]
