[Without bothering to announce himself, Herbert just starts speaking over the radio. His voice is, at least, pretty distinctive, soft and measured and nasal. Probably recognisable as the guy on the first cure announcement.

Who needs names anyway, right? The information is most important.]

The cure for the venom has been completed. For those with the symptom of petrification the procedure is, twofold: a single dose transdermally applied medication as well as a medicinal beverage—those not demonstrating petrification need only ingest the latter. The transdermal medication is formulated in the shape of a solid sphere that will dissolve and subsequently effervesce to distribute itself in water--ideally for use in one of the various, lunar spas for a period of no less than 8 minutes. I…would advise drinking the beverage either after or at least 6 hours before the bath or else, make certain you are supervised…

[Dammit, Lambert. There is so much alcohol in that half of the cure.]

I will be at the small cabin just to the left of the entrance for, those who want to collect their medication—someone will deliver it otherwise. I am, additionally staying on the radio to answer any questions you may have.


[ooc: The cure is here! It's... a weird herbal alcoholic beverage (THANKS, LAMBERT) and uh. Basically the Ectoplasm jelly bath bomb from LUSH. Please call Herbert out on accidentally inventing the bath bomb. The bomb is purple and segmented on the outside and smells of citrus. Once it's been put in water it oozes diluted bright green slime with magic sparkles in it. It glows slightly. The slime permeates the stone and gradually turns it back to flesh. The drink tastes like drinking a herb garden and alcohol. It rejuvenates you from the poison effects and also you'll get drunk. Sorry, kids. Medieval Poland.]

Joker.

[dontpokethat]

I'll do it.

[Said pretty quickly, and as much for Joker's benefit as Herbert's. He knows how Joker can get when he's drunk.]

He can be kind of a pain; wouldn't want to make you deal with that right away.

[pipers_son]

Hey, Ginko, be a mate and remind me what ya had ta deal with the last time someone got drunk?

[Because it was him and they both know it]

[pipers_son]

I think that'd be true for anyone needin' ta take it. I mean.... ya are gettin' us all well and hammered.

[scientificist]

Mm... Yeees, I think that would be ideal.

I should remain here for any stragglers after all.

[scientificist]

Precisely, everyone should be properly supervised--that should have occurred to me before.

[dontpokethat]

[They absolutely do.]

That's no reason to jump right into doing something risky from the start.

[pipers_son]

They just wanna ruin all my fun, don't they~?

Plan on joinin' us, Julien?

[dontpokethat]

Sounds like a plan. I'll let you know if there are any, uh... complications that you should hear about.

[Like people needing secondary bathing treatments because they got sick and had to be pulled out of the tub early.]

[espigeon]

I know, right? It's like they think something bad could happen! Especially with that stuff on your face, how are you gonna soak it off?

Aaah, maybe? The rock on me isn't like your rock. It's not as obstructive so I kinda think it's not going to go away.

[sunflowerfields]

I'd be more than happy to assist. I'll bring refreshments.

[Seriously you guys don't drown]

[scientificist]

Thank you. I'll be available if so.

[scientificist]

That would be very useful--so long as they don't get in the way of the cure.

[scientificist]

I have met...aliens though. How many of the, noticeably inhuman people here would you say are actually mutated humans?

Yes, I intend to categorise and make the nonsense sensible; I'm certain it's all scientifically explicable only you have had an unfortunate shortage, of modern scientists. Now you have me.

[espigeon]

That's something you'll have to ask individuals themselves! I am super not equipped to guess. So many people look human with some tiny variation but aren't, even before fae reworking. Then you've got weird outliers like me, who I guess looked half.

Good man! I sincerely wish you the best of luck, the idea of cataloging all of this is pretty overwhelming.

[pipers_son]

Or just shove us all in the same place ta be watched over. I mean, then the issue is a bunch of drunk folks around each other, but at least then ya would know what we're doin'.

[pipers_son]

I think if that's the case, just drinkin' this concoction of yers counts.

[dontpokethat]

[EXCUSE YOU.]

This cure has been tested at every stage of its development. If we weren't sure it was safe, Herbert wouldn't be telling everyone on the radio to come take it.

[pipers_son]

S'just gonna get us incredibly smashed.

Definitely not a problem with a group like ours.

[dontpokethat]

Look, it's... what worked, apparently. And that's why you guys are supposed to be careful about when you take it, and make sure you're supervised.

[pipers_son]

Which I can guarantee ya I wouldn't be if I did it on my own.

....That or I'd be drinkin' with Tyki.

[He'll let that statement stand on its own.]

[pipers_son]

Well, drownin' in the stuff would get rid of the bit on my face....

[He won't drown, he promises.]

Are ya sure? Doesn't hurt ta try.

[dontpokethat]

[s i g h]

It's good that you're planning to drink it with other people around, but... I really, can't recommend doing it while taking the soaking cure, too.

[espigeon]

[He sings, because of course he does:] Live rough die soft bad boys do it well~

[Anyway:]

If there's like buckets or something maybe? This sounds like something that'd really foul up my feathers.

[pipers_son]

Yeah, things that dissolve tend ta be...

Well, we could probably get someone not poisoned or drunk ta help.
