Okay so. Question. For everyone.

I'm kind of freaking out a little bit? Because the other day I really and actually kind of saved my least favorite person in school when she kind of got cut because she sent me on a stupid dare (don't do a stupid dare when you know it's in a bad area. That's common sense, but she is really annoying tbf). But it was with some stupid spell like in old action shows where you had to yell out your attacks and this is decidedly not normal.

I mean it's not violent, so it's okay right? I can help people with it and it's useful right? Except I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with a spell that can make someone unstabbed.

And I am really freaking out because I do not understand what the fuck wind has to do with making people unstabbed.

Healing. The word is healing except that sound so stupid like something from some kind of fantasy movie or comic or game or something omg. But like. What if my mom finds out???

I feel obligated to do something good with it but I don't know what or how I mean come on I'm only 17 and this is a lot of responsibility and I haven't slept in like two days because what if I wake up with wings or gills or I torch my room in my sleep or something.

I really didn't expect almost murder, okay? I wasn't really thinking and she's really, really annoying.

I am not planning on doing it again any time soon. I mean... I don't know. I might have to--this seems really powerful, and if it keeps someone from getting badly hurt, I should use it, right?

[alilyinthemoonslight]

What sort of idiot would send you there? The Blood Key activity isn't really unknown here.

But I guess if you're okay now, that's fine, just... be careful? I just had to get people to pull my sister out of that same sort of mess.

...that said, if you have the ability to heal people, that could... be useful.

[phoenix_temple]

I know. I know it was stupid. It was really really dumb and we were really really lucky and I have felt like nothing but an idiot and I can't sleep over it. I don't normally do stupid things, at least not like this.

I don't think Marina would've made it if I didn't heal her. I don't know what I'm supposed to do now.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Well, if you're okay now it's not worth worrying over but--

Wait, it was MARINA who did that? And she got STABBED?

[Oh geez, that was nice.]

But she's... perfectly okay, now?

[phoenix_temple]

Yeah! She does this kind of thing all the time, I swear to god! We were at a party and she dared me and I knew she wasn't going to shut up so I was just going to bail but it was a total disaster.

She's totally fine! Completely. That's the freaky thing.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

I see... didn't quite expect that out of her, honestly, but then we've only spoken a few times.

[For a considerable while, but regardless.]

Can you use this power whenever you need to, then?

[phoenix_temple]

I think so? I haven't tried it. I haven't seen anybody get hurt since and I wasn't about to cut myself to make sure.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Well, there's got to be some way to test it without grievous bodily harm.

[phoenix_temple]

Well... it's healing, isn't it? Somebody's got to get hurt for me to try it.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Well, yes, but...

You're sure you can't just. Prick a finger?

[phoenix_temple]

... It seemed kind of big when I did it before. I don't want to end up doing something stupid.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Also don't want to try using it when it's something important, and it doesn't work.

[phoenix_temple]

Maybe I'll like. Cut something and have the phone near by just in case I need to call a doctor. Maybe? I don't know, do you know anybody with minor injuries??

[alilyinthemoonslight]

On second thought, you really shouldn't be doing that by yourself.

...

Though, I'm not so sure about MINOR, but...

Ah, let's see. Winter was recovering from an injured ankle, but I ... THINK that's better?

And... actually, one girl was hurt helping us rescue my sister a few days ago...

[dragon_blossom]

Listen sometimes i just dont think

and sometimes that goes very poorly ill admit

[alilyinthemoonslight]

This would certainly be a time for that, it appears. A bit of THAT going around lately, too.

[dragon_blossom]

Stupidity? Has it become contagious?

[alilyinthemoonslight]

When it comes to the Dead District, maybe not outright stupidity, but just doing that one stupid thing, maybe.

[dragon_blossom]

But at least it seems t obe productive too!

[Congrats, Network. You receive Lily's "Mom Mode," which now thanks to her sister's current state, she has not functionally turned off.

And she wonders why she can't get a date.]

[dragon_blossom]

It wouldve been healed i bet.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Maybe.

But we can't run with that as a certainty, either.

[dragon_blossom]

Anyways i admit it was dumb and wont do it again.

[phoenix_temple]

WHO SAYS I WOULD HAVE HEALED YOU.

[dragon_blossom]

YOU HEALED THE STAB WOUND
