[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.]

[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.]

[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.

[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.]

[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.]

[kingsroads]

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

[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]

[ 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.

[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.

[pipers_son]

....Lambert. Quick question, if ya don't mind?

[whattaprick]

What ?

[pipers_son]

How does a medicine threaten ta drown ya?

[whattaprick]

When one of the side effects is knocking you out for a nap. A long one.

[pipers_son]

Oh, so it's just that.

I'll admit... I thought it'd be worse.

[scientificist]

Drinking in a hot tub puts you at risk of, heat exhaustion or at the very least falling unconscious. I do not want anyone drowning due to this cure, it's completely counterintuitive.

[scientificist]

I doubt that will be necessary.

[whattaprick]

So did I.

[ Though, it's probably best the ingredient list isn't public. Who knows who'd drink it after that... ]

[pipers_son]

Yeah, but it could be worse. Anyway, I think it would be a bit hard for me ta drawn in one of these tubs, personally.

Can't speak for anyone else, of course.

[pipers_son]

Reassurin', Lambert. Probably best I don't ask, huh?

[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?

[whattaprick]

Ignorance is bliss, what can I say?

[pipers_son]

Duly noted. I'll ask again when I don't feel like shit.
