Captain Stabby 🏴‍☠️: Hey mate, got a minute? Have a bit of a “guts out” situation over at Casa de Snail.

[beginningofwisdom]

Caster: Again?
Caster: I'm on my way.

[finefuckery]

Captain Stabby 🏴‍☠️:Just can’t seem to keep ‘em on the inside today.
Captain Stabby 🏴‍☠️: You know how it is with guts 😉

[beginningofwisdom]

Caster: More than most do, I assure you.

[at which point he arrives on the scene]

DAY 15

[weboftruths]

Spider: Just as a note, there might be a fight happening over at Finch, and it's fairly chaotic from the sounds of it.
Spider: Once that settles, if your services are open, if you can check and see if they need anything, I'd appreciate it. You've been working fairly hard so I understand if you cannot.
Spider: I'll pay for it.

Re: DAY 15

[beginningofwisdom]

Caster: Of course. I'll see to it.

[suckingly]

↭Ember💖↭: youre one of the healers kuroro on chipmunk mentioned right if someone is sick or has a parasite or something can you take a look

[beginningofwisdom]

Caster: Yes, I can diagnose and treat such things.
Caster: Who is the patient?

[suckingly]

↭Ember💖↭: great should we meet you somewhere and its akito on rabbit

[beginningofwisdom]

Caster: Please meet me by the pond. I'll perform the diagnosis there.

[suckingly]

↭Ember💖↭: see you there

[ by the pond will be this soul eating vampire and a fruits basket whenever Pari comes by ]

[godianknot]

[ is the fruits basket.

also sitting at the edge of the pond sulking like a child who was dragged to the doctor's. ]

[beginningofwisdom]

[to be fair, that seems to be literally what's happening here.

it's not long before the doctor in question appears, approaching with unhurried grace]

Good day, gentlemen.

[suckingly]

Good day. Thanks for agreeing to see him.

[godianknot]

[ VERY GRUMPILY, to Ember ]

If he does anything I don't like, I'm leaving.

[beginningofwisdom]

[hmm,]

Of course.

[it's ambiguous whether that was addressed to Ember or Akito, but he turns to the latter fully]

If you would kindly describe your current symptoms, in as much detail as possible? It will make the initial examination much more efficient.

[suckingly]

A doctor that handsome is surely going to be just fine.

[ tilts their head at Akito and only offers: ]

He's got rocks in his neck.

[godianknot]

Stop flirting with anything that has legs. [ snaps,

before sighing alright FINE. ]

... everything hurts, and I feel hot. ... and I feel tired. But that's nothing new.

[beginningofwisdom]

I see. Then, if you'll allow me to make an examination? Physical contact will not be required.

[suckingly]

[ to Akito: ]

I can't help myself. Besides, we don't want you to die from weird rock parasites or whatever.

[godianknot]

[ 'no physical contact' at least... is somewhat comforting but. he crosses his arms over his chest, nonetheless. ]

Just get it over with.

[beginningofwisdom]

[he murmurs a brief incantation, and a ring of light rises from the ground, flickering in spectrographic colors as it passes from head to toe and back again. it pauses at his neck, rapidly shifting between colors and patterns, before continuing]

...interesting. Have you perhaps had contact with a young lady named either Angelfish or Pallas?

[suckingly]

[ crosses their arms but manages to stay silent this time, amazing. ]

[godianknot]

[ okay that's new but everything is new in this place for him.

.... ]

I caught it from her. "Angelfish", I think. ... she said it was "incurable".

[beginningofwisdom]

I believe we may be able to do better than "incurable", but I can't promise a quick or easy remedy. For now, I'll need a sample of the crystalline formation, and by this evening I'll synthesize a medication which will mitigate some of the worst symptoms. It will not, unfortunately, be a cure, but it should slow the progression of the disease to some extent as well.

Do you have any other pre-existing conditions? I presume you're not currently taking other medication under the circumstances.
