[PUBLIC CHANNEL] RINGMASTER'S ELEVENTH ADDRESS (D72)

[lordofthering]

[The radios will glow green as the Ringmaster begins a broadcast.]

Welcome back to the carnival, everyone. Things may look the same as before, but I assure you, there is no stone that has been left unturned or tree that hasn't been uprooted. We'll have no more stalkers from here on out.

There are a few things of relevance that I have to tell you about. Firstly, Ignatius is no longer in the moon. Instead, he's been relocated to a small island in the middle of the lake. He can't leave it, and you aren't allowed to visit it without my permission. If you do, and he wounds you, you can consider it your own fault.

In a related matter, I've decided to invest my magical energies into granting each of you a ressurection egg, as we clearly can't anticipate any peaceful resolutions from this. If you don't know what that means, it's essentially a ritual spell I'll need your help in completing - once it's done, it will bring you back to life if you happen to perish, but only once. Also, you will have to be in the egg long enough to regrow and hatch. This is no small favour on my part, and it won't work unless your soul can make it back to the egg.

Thirdly, after calling in several favours, I think the location of Eden is almost within view. A few allies will be joining us over the next week and giving us more information. Until then, carry on about your business, as there are some new things you'll have to get used to.

We're going to be organizing the Supervisor guided departments differently from now on. I have explained the details to the Supervisors, and they can fill you in on what will be expected of you. There will not be only six categories: Militia, Acquisitions, Engineering, Management, Administration, and Medical.

Supervisors, feel free to sound off with what group you are leading and what it is for.

Medical remains...the same in practise. Ginko, Tanyuu and Lauren? You'll be joining the team. I'd appreciate you informing me where exactly your, skills lie so that I know where to assign you in future--although Mr. Yukio Okumura will be in charge momentarily as I have, business. To take care of at home.

If you wouldn't mind, Ringmaster, I do have some questions regarding the process of the resurrection egg--do let me know if you'd rather answer them here or at the time of the ritual.

[dontpokethat]

Understood. You know about my work with mushi and herbs already. I've got a spell for curing illnesses and facilitating healing, as well as some first-aid knowledge.

[scientificist]

Useful. I wouldn't mind an explanation of your spell--or a demonstration when it's feasible.

[dontpokethat]

And I wouldn't mind giving one - though I suppose we may have to wait for a chance for that demonstration. But, I can stop by to talk as soon as I'm done checking in with Carly, if you want.

[scientificist]

Yes, that would be fine.

network -> action

[dontpokethat]

See you then.



[Sure enough, as soon as he's done talking to Carly, he makes his way to the medical tent, ducking in and looking around for Herbert.] Hey, Herbert.

[fourthscribe]

Very well. Most of my skills lie with herbal remedies and mushi illnesses, though I do know some first aid. I also have a spell to speed the growth of plants, though I don't know how often that might be of use.

[scientificist]

You might be helpful to Yukio--I know he works with plants.

[fourthscribe]

I will check with him, then. And if there is ever time, I am perfectly willing to learn more modern techniques that you could teach me.

[mylastchance]

[Oh, praise Eldath. He really doesn't know Herbert at all, but anything is better than performance.]

I can help plants used for medicine grow. I can heal others with my magic.

I know how to treat injuries.

[Like to splint broken bones, to sew shut deep cuts. And he just sort of awkwardly stops talking because, what else is there to say?]

[wild_magic]

And you know about... Herbs and stuff, too.

Your magic's the best part though. For healing and stuff. [Medical actually sounds like a perfect place for Lauren, when he thinks about it. Why wasn't he there before?]

[scientificist]

Good....yes, I'll take a note of that. Do you have a basic surgical foundation?

[mylastchance]

[Surgical what what?]

I can stitch wounds and set bones if I have to.

[Though he hasn't in a long time because magic.]

That's the extent of it.

[scientificist]

More than some. I'd like to, observe your magic in progress at some point. Perhaps it will prove necessary later.

[mylastchance]

[.... Why would anyone ever?]

There isn't really much to see.

[scientificist]

What do you mean by that?

[mylastchance]

I mean... It's magic...

After I cast the spell the injury is simply fixed.

[scientificist]

Imagine, Mr. Tanner, that I'm new to magic as a feasible form of medicine and would, appreciate seeing the process of the spell and how it affects healing all the same.

[mylastchance]

[Lauren wrinkles his nose at being called 'Mr. Tanner' No one has ever referred to him by his last name in his entire life. He has to temporarily put aside the magic discussion to correct this.]

Lauren is fine.

[wild_magic]

["Mr. Tanner"? Susan has literally never even heard the name Tanner in his entire life (at least the parts he can remember).]

[stillwinningthehardway]

[Stiffly formal:]

I'd like it logged that I could help too, in the event of an emergency. I have some minor skills and abilities that could be of use.

[scientificist]

Basic first aid capability? Do you have any, superhuman talents?

[stillwinningthehardway]

Yes, I have training in field medicine. And I wouldn't use that phrase, exactly, but I can influence the function of nerves and capillaries and control pain and bleeding that way.

[scientificist]

Very, useful, especially with our limited supplies, Miss...?

[stillwinningthehardway]

[Scout sighs, because she knows how people get about her name.]

Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy. Esterhazy if you're looking for a surname."Scout", usually.
