[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.]

Question: what makes ya think I wouldn't end up in a tub of hot water anyway while drunk?

Obviously you require supervision taking the ingested cure whether or not you're taking both at once.

In fact I recommend that generally: take the beverage under supervision.
...
...I will volunteer for this if, strictly necessary.

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.

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

I should remain here for any stragglers after all.

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.]

Thank you. I'll be available if so.

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

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

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'.

As you're already intending to do just that no matter what I say I see no reason to endorse it officially.

Ha. What a pragmatic view.

Well, welcome ta the carnival. S'what yer gonna be dealin' with.

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

[Seriously you guys don't drown]

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

Joker.

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]

[They absolutely do.]

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

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

[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.

S'just gonna get us incredibly smashed.

Definitely not a problem with a group like ours.

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.

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.]

[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.

Ginko.

If this stuff lasts for six hours, do ya really think it wouldn't get inta my hammered skull that I could save time if I did this, and then end up doin' it on my own, away from anyone else, in that amounta time? At some point?

I'd get stuck in a tree again, probably.

[And be crying.]

[...]

[.......]

Fine.

I'll be there, to make sure nobody drowns.

[Don't get angry at him that everyone thought the booze remedy was the best course of action.]

I'll pay ya back. When I'm not drunk or poisoned.
