[ In a very rare network appearance, Wen Qing shows up on the network, apparently sitting on the upper floor of the library. ]

I'm addressing those of you with knowledge of medicine or magical healing. Some of my colleagues and I are planning to undertake an eye transplant by surgery and would be grateful for further expertise.

Several months ago, a combination of medicine and magic proved very effective in healing Xue Yang so we would like to replicate this success.

If you would like more information, respond to me here or seek me out in the library.

OOC: This is about Xiao Xingchen's eye transplant, Wen Qing will be happy to provide further information just not sharing detailed medical information with the entire train. Willow and Ichigo are already signed up for it, others are welcome. This will mostly be handwaved but you're welcome to involve your medical characters in this endeavor and play out all things research & prep & what else at your own leisure. Post-surgery post by Xingchen will go up later.

Wen Qing's attention is drawn to the kitten, eyes softening at the thought of the bengal in the cute vest.

"Who do you have there?" she asked, smiling. She shook her head a little. "And no, you didn't miss anything. Wei Wuxian suggested we should see if we can replicate a surgery a famous doctor did at home. She successfully transplanted a pair of eyes, only with cultivation and the knowledge of Chinese medicine. I would like to see if we can do the same here with people from various worlds and magics."

"Ah, that's Shiro. I usually leave him in Grimmjow's care so he can't cause trouble in the medical car." Ichigo listened to her suggestion as Shiro made himself quite at home in Wen Qing's lap. When she was done, he raised an eyebrow at her. "Are we talking just a corneal transplant, or a full eye transplant? Even my world hasn't had the second one as far as I know. And will it really restore his sight to use organic eyes? Where is Wei Wuxian even getting a pair of clean eyes from?"

"Believe it or not, but it turns you can buy a new pair of eyes in the train store just as easily as a candy bar," Wen Qing responds with a wry grin. It really is quite bizarre if you let yourself think about it but the train operates by its own logic.

"It will have to be a full transplant. The patient's eyes had actually been removed so they could be transplanted into someone else, whose eyes had been irreparably damaged. That surgery was successful... though it is not a thing we do commonly, even in the cultivation world."

"Well that's...disturbing. Handy, but disturbing." It freaked Ichigo out a little about how easy it was to buy body parts.

"Okay, so to start we need to make sure the surgical suite is fully sterilized, and everyone taking part should follow sterile procedures to reduce risk of infection and complications. I can handle cleaning the surgical suite and ensuring we have enough masks, gloves, and caps, if you want. You might need to tuck your hair under the collar of your robes, or tie it back to keep it out of the way." At least that was how he was used to doing things in his world. Ichigo didn't know if cultivation could ensure clean surgical practices.

"I'll leave that to you then, and if someone else wants to help with sterilizing I'll refer them to you," she says, quickly jotting that down on the makeshift notes she has been taking as responses come in.

"Cultivation does make us able to withstand infections more easily, it would be unlikely for someone of Xiao Xingchen's cultivation level to suffer from an infection, but I'd rather his cultivation can boost the healing of his eyes than deal with such things. I think you would be best suited to handling everything related to medication from the future along with Senku Ishigami, the both of you have more experience with it than I do."

"I think we have some broad spectrum antibiotics, and I'll be glad to put him on IV fluids to keep him hydrated while he wakes up from the procedure. Having an IV line in him will also allow for IV sedation so he can be asleep during it." Ichigo nodded, making a mental note to get with Senku about the drugs. "I'll probably enlist Glorfindel-san for help with sterilization since he's capable of generating intense heat. At home we have things called autoclaves, purpose built super hot ovens to bake surgical equipment to kill any bacteria or viruses that might be on the surfaces."

She nods, taking notes of what he has planned and who will be involved so they can, later on, make a list to get everyone on the same page about tasks.

"Using magic instead of your autoclave," she muses, "that's what I would have suggested, too. I use... or misuse, my fire techniques to sterilize equipment as well as in brewing medicine." Fire techniques which are actually more thought to be used in battle but they serve their purpose in medicine, too.

"I'll leave these preparations in your hands then, and if there's anything I can help with, I'll either be here or in the garden car. I'll have to try and spend some time cultivating to settle my mind in preparation for my part." Try, because the noisy, crowded train is hardly the best place for meditation, let alone cultivation, but it will have to do.

"Do we know who all will be in the room? Even those just observing will need to have masks and gloves to minimize the risk of infection." Ichigo was more than happy to take charge of the set up and making sure the room was pristine. It was something that he knew how to do easily.

She checks her list and purses her lips, shaking her head. "Not yet. I can only give you an incomplete list right now since people are still signing up, but I think by the end of the day we should know. Be braced for six or seven, at least, though if there's not enough space some of the magic workers might be able to operate from outside the room."

Ichigo smiled and nodded. "I'll make sure we have plenty of supplies on hand just to be on the safe side. Is there anything else you know of that I can do to help off hand?"

She shakes her head, a little ruefully. "Not right now. I'm mostly just compiling volunteers and their skills right now. At least that list will be useful for the future, even from people I've known for a while I'm learning of skills I'd had no idea about. I'll contact you as soon as I know more."

Nodding, Ichigo stood up and bowed to her. "Then I look forward to hearing from you when you have a date and time arranged. I'll take care of what I can on my end in the meantime."
