Public Channel | Day B11, Morning

[scientificist]

[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.]

Umn....

So I just have to drink it?

[.........This is a Very Small Child speaking.]

[scientificist]

Yes, the bath is not required. The beverage dosages are individually measured per my knowledge of each patient and drinking the entirety is sufficient. [yes, hello small child. Drink your medicinal alcohol ok.]

[soft_focus]

Oh! [Well this is handy then.] Do I have to do anything else when I'm drinking it? If you can't go in a hot tub, that means something important could happen right?

[It may be advisable to have it before bed, kiddo.]

...I'm walking to the cabin now, though. [Might as well not waste time and all that.]

[scientificist]

One of the ingredients is alcohol if you're aware of its effects. If not, it's a depressant that will affect certain areas of your brain. You will at the very least feel relaxed, potentially drowsy and should drink the medication with, supervision of a sober party.

[All the kids would get that instruction if they came to him but most probably won't, so. On the radios and reiterated by whoever does the deliveries! He guesses!]

[soft_focus]

I guess I know that now, [she replies, glancing down the cabins as she looks for his.] I'll make sure I drink it at someone else's cabin then. My cabin is Foster's.

[....child why are you sharing a cabin with- Nevermind.

The radio is on long enough to hear whatever reply comes, before she goes to knock on a door.]

[osteothropy]

Yeah, so, when he says to watch it with the drinkable part? He means it. That stuff hits hard.

[Sans mostly sounds amuse though. He totally passed out in the hot tub when they were doing the trial.]

[whattaprick]

Yeah, that was a close one. Good thing you don't need to breathe.

You got hit pretty hard. Think you're going to need another shot?

[osteothropy]

Definitely. You don't get a nap like that every day. You should hook me up.

[kingsroads]

We've tested the cure on a few subjects already, but if for some reason you have an adverse reaction, seek me out and I'll break that magic.

[ or just suffer through it. Tbh, that might be less degrading. ]

[scientificist]

Your enthusiasm is...admirable but I doubt any child kissing will be required. I spent the previous day fine tuning all aspects of the cure.

[kingsroads]

More than children were poisoned, you know. And I have managed to work out a passable verbal incantation.

[scientificist]

I doubt that will be necessary.

[pipers_son]

Hey, if anyone wants ta save time, or not be alone, or just need a drinkin' buddy, I can see one of those spas he just mentioned from where I'm stayin', and it should be big enough for quite a few people~.

[And he'll give directions before anyone can tell him this is a questionable idea.]

[dontpokethat]

[Hey, guess who's still sounding kind of tired but now it's because he just woke up from sleeping for fourteen hours instead of because he HASN'T been sleeping.]

Did you miss the part about not taking them both at once?

[pipers_son]

[Good morning to you too, Ginko.]

He said while "supervised", actually, and I am a Supervisor...

[gdi joker]

But anyway, that just means it ain't actually dangerous, just that it's a bit, well- alcoholic, yeah?

[That's the impression he got anyway.]

[whattaprick]

Can you breathe underwater? If the answer is yes, then it's not dangerous. If the answer is no, I'd listen to West.

[dontpokethat]

Supervised by someone who isn't taking the cure.

It's very alcoholic. Which is exactly why you shouldn't be taking it while in a tub of hot water.

[espigeon]

At this rate it sounds like you'll be sitting in tepid water with a life jacket on.

[pipers_son]

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

Plan on joinin' us, Julien?

[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.

[whattaprick]

[ And here's his helpful chime-in: ]

Depending on how bad you got it, it could take more than one round of treatment to get rid of it all. [ Like, you know, if your lower half is basically rock. Still, he sounds like he's in a better mood than he's been in for a while. ]

Taking more of it at once isn't going to make it work any faster, so stick to the recommended dosage or you're not going to have a good time.

[espigeon]

Is some of it based on body weight? I'm pretty heavy, but not as heavy as I look. Hollow bones and so on.

Also your topical treatment sounds like a bath bomb. Is it gonna leave people sparkling?

thank you. truly

[scientificist]

Mm. Mr. Delacroix, was it? You were the one who's avian? I have, taken that into account.

Effervescence in this case is the release of gasses from an aqueous solution and does not, relate to its alternate meaning of vivacity--it especially does not imply any kind of ballistic.

[espigeon]

Also the one where there's two of me! Does my human half drink this too? I'm only like spiritually poisoned on that end, I think.

Mhmm. I'll rephrase. Is it going to leave bits of glitter on people? And it sounds like this one fancy bath treatment for soaking in.

[scientificist]

[Yeah, he......didn't quite get that. It sounded like a weird metaphor, so he assumed it was one and now he has to diagnose on the fly. Awesome.] Do you have to eat with both bodies? If only your human half eats does your, bird half go hungry?

There may be residue, it's unavoidable due to the components and it. Is a bath treatment so I presume it would sound similar to any other ones to some extent.
