Hello again, everyone.

I do hope everyone is doing all right. It seems like a lot has been happening lately. With the broadcast....I'm not as sure what to make of it myself. But I imagine others who have been involved in all of this for longer will have a better understanding of it all than I, who more recently was introduced to this network and everything.

But that isn't why I'm on the network right now. I was just wanting to say that I...I think I can heal. I know there was mention of a specific clinic set up to help those of us in need that might be....more obvious. I was wondering if I could ask to see about helping there? I don't know that I can do too much yet, but in the event that I do get better at this. I think I can at least help with more minor injuries and pains.

So, if someone can point me to who I'd need to talk to about this? I'd appreciate it.

Heal like magical sparkly lights +100 HP heal? Because I am interested in this.

[astion]

Kind of sparkly? But um. Not...that effective. Maybe I'll get better at it with more echoes, but right now I'd guess more sort of. Temporarily able to block off the pain or heal more minor injuries? Basic things you wouldn't need to go to the hospital or doctor for.

[not_good_not_wicked]

How?

[astion]

I'm...not really sure how to explain it, exactly. It's just...something I could do. Or, something the other me did. I don't really have much context in terms of the 'how'. I just remembered, echoed that I could do it. Which I guess explains the whole tree thing blooming so suddenly.

[jailbreaks]

You 'think' you can heal? What kind of bullsh-- ...crap is that?

[Hello, Stella, this might be the first time you've spoken to this guy while he's sober. He's a little more mindful.]

voice;

[astion]

Well, I echoed back memories of doing so. I haven't quite tried it much yet myself to test it, but....I'm sure it could help. With more minor injuries and pain at least. It's kind of hard to describe, okay.

[George, she would be proud. Not drinking for once. But really. Your language. :l]

voice;

[jailbreaks]

So, what now, are you going to find me and try it on me to see if it echoes back anything?

[The sarcasm is dripping in his voice so hard that even someone not versed in sarcasm would know he's being an asshole.]

voice;

[astion]

If I was going to find you and do that, I'd ask first. You don't need to be such a jerk about it. You know it's not like we can control any of this. I just figure something like this could help.

[Yup. He kind of is being an ass. But it's not like she doesn't already know that about him given their previous interactions.]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Practical advice. Practice and try to learn how it works. Seriously.

Want to meet some place and test it a bit?

[astion]

Oh, um. Yeah. Practicing would be a good idea. I'm not sure how well it might work without someone being hurt though. And I'd rather it be somewhere more private than public.....

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

A house or empty warehouse or something's probably an ideal practice site.

I know of one a few blocks away. Wanna skip class and go over there?

[astion]

Really? That sounds great!

Oh, but. I have an assignment to hand in. I can meet you there after that?

[peacefulwinter]

You're looking for Dr. Solus. He c-came to Vegas, though, so he's not at his clinic right now. You could still ask him, though...

...but it might be better to start a little smaller. People d-don't go to the clinic for little things, most of the time. If you don't mind being open about your power... what about a park? Children gets scratches and scrapes all the time.

[voice]

[astion]

Dr. Solus? Okay. Thank you! I'll try talk to him if I see him.

I guess not. But....would that be a good idea? I wouldn't want to scare anyone or get in trouble using it in public.

[peacefulwinter]

Mm... he seems nice enough, so that should be a good place to start.

You m-might be right about scaring people, though... even the best of intentions can be misinterpreted. Getting in trouble wouldn't be a problem, I think, but... mm. That's a problem I hadn't thought of. My power... isn't something I can use in any way other than t-to hurt things, and maybe to create water. That's it. I can make up the excuse that I'm... using this power to protect. But I'm not sure that will work for you. Hmm...

[astion]

Right!

I guess....it would depend on what power you might echo back? How scary it might be for people in general. I mean, with healing I imagine I could still frighten someone a bit, but that is purely a defensive thing I guess. Not something I could potentially use to hurt anyone.

You can create water?

[phoenix_temple]

Honestly, we could probably use the help. I don't even know who you could ask right now... [Most of the people she knows about it either aren't in town or don't work there anymore.]

Just be careful who you tell about it, if you can. Once people know you can heal, you're either a terrible witch or in high demand.

[astion]

A--a witch?

[Okay so the whole. Having magic thing, sure. But healing doesn't really imply any sort of typical dark magic usually associated with that cliche.]

I don't mind being in high demand, if it means I can help somehow with all of this. I mean, I don't think my healing is too strong yet, but maybe with more practice or more echoes it might get easier, stronger.

[phoenix_temple]

If people don't like you, no matter what powers you end up with, you'll be a bad guy.

I really would be careful, anyway. Another one of us has people bothering him at work now. It's really a shame.

[testsonseashells]

Dr. Solus, run clinic, in Vegas now. Suggest you contact Surya at healspec; can set you up until I return.

[astion]

Oh. Okay then! Thank you. I'll do that. I mean, I'm not sure my healing is the best yet, but maybe over time it'll improve.

[testsonseashells]

Will take what we can get. Any medical abilities in demand at this point.

[text]

[healspec]

[oh, Dr. Solus is recommending him already. should he even bother replying?]

[hrn... yes, he probably should. responsibility is hard.]

I am Surya. The one Dr. Solus mentioned.

Currently I am the highest ranking numbered at the LSR clinic so I am the one you need to talk to, I guess. [no don't say that it sounds wishy-washy, you're supposed to be the dude with the authority here!! backspaced...]

[text]

[astion]

Oh, hello! Surya, is it? I'm Stella. It's great to meet you. Or, talk to you, I guess. I'm still sort of figuring things out with my healing, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask about the clinic and if I might be able to help. Once I get more practice and all, I mean.

[healspec]

[he's really bad at introductions so he's just...going to skip that part... they know each others' names GOOD ENOUGH the acknowledgement is not really needed as far as he is concerned]

[i am sorry stella you are stuck with socially awkward penguin the RN]

More healers always are helpful.

If you want to practice, probably I could train you at the clinic. I am a healer also.
