[It's really tempting to do this post in text but there's a few reasons why he decides not to, including the main point of this post that he intends to bury under some other things. So he offers the camera a small, hesitant smile of greeting before starting.]

Hey. I um... I hope everyone's doing okay after that whole... Thing. H-Has it um, worn off for everyone now?

[He hopes so; it seems to have for everyone he's talked to, but that doesn't necessarily mean much.]

On a less depressing subject, Em and I finished some more emojis. The new pack is here; all you have to do is download and install it like last time.

Also uh, we're working on a deal with Delight about getting like, good coffee at the bar, so... That's hopefully a thing, soon.

[They just all need a chance to recover from the event before they can really manage that whole thing. Especially since he can't exactly walk right now, which leads to the actual main point of making this post.]

I also wanted to um... I know there are like, some doctors and people with healing powers and whatever here, and I was hoping I could talk to one who might be willing to help out with something. So... Yeah.

[That's that. He seems to be considering if there's anything else he wants to add, but then decides against it and ends the feed.]

[ emojis are so great!! johanna sends chris 20 middle finger emojis. ]

[thechoiceisyours]

[As expected. Have a gold star and canister of salt in return.]

[morphinum]

[ a scowling emoji. what the fuck is the salt for...... ]

[thechoiceisyours]

[He'll have to bring her up to date on slang. Or fill her in on old slang. However it works with timelines wtf.

Also he sends a smiling cat emoji.]

I'm a healer. What is it you need?

[thechoiceisyours]

[This isn't someone he recognizes so he guesses he's a recent arrival, not that that matters much other than that it's always interesting to meet new people here.]

Hi. I um... I-I hurt my knee before I came here a few months ago, and it was sort of okay until recently when I made it a whole lot worse. I uh, can't really use it at all right now.

[Also it really hurts but that's a secondary problem.]

[video]

[tongueamok]

Hm. I know I can help with the recent injury, and will have to see what I can do with anything older than that. [Magic is complicated, kids.]

[A pause. Oh dear, the dilemma.]

I suppose I'm going to have to come to you, aren't I?

[video]

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, I heard that it can be like, more difficult with older things sometimes?

[He hesitates at that response, trying to read Carlisle's reaction.]

You um... Don't feel obligated just because you replied; you don't have to do anything.

[He means it; he can definitely understand being nervous about meeting someone in this place that he doesn't know, and Chris knows that for some of the healers here it can be risky for them to use their magic in the first place, so he doesn't want anyone to feel they have to help if they don't want to.]

Coffee sounds real good right about now.

You find a doctor yet?

video

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, though to be fair coffee pretty much always sounds good to me.

I'm uh, talking to someone who can heal, yeah.

video

[prespangled]

Good. Make sure you rest up, take care of yourself.

[Little hypocrite.]

video

[thechoiceisyours]

I will. I think my friends would freak out on me if I didn't, so...

[It helps that the injury makes it almost impossible to walk, so he's stuck in bed for the most part whether he likes it or not until he gets it taken care of.]

And I uh, I don't think we've met yet. What's your name?

[omg, MORE EMOJIS. Lilith sends a smiling cat, a star, and three heart emojis.

But onto the more serious things...] anyone help you with that knee yet?

text;

[thechoiceisyours]

[He sends back a smiling emoji and one of the little skull emojis she'd requested.]

I'm talking to someone, yeah.

text;

[cashlin]

[have a skull surrounded by a pair of hearts.]

Oh good!! wrap it up if that doesnt totally take care of it and keep off it for a bit if you can.

stay safe chris. k?

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, I've been grounded to my room for now, don't worry.

[He's being good and staying off his leg for now.]

I'll try, but no promises.

But thanks again. For everything.

[This message has no content aside from six...seven...no, eight middle finger emojis. Just like, all in a row.

Krieg's still learning how to use technology. Apparently.]

[thechoiceisyours]

[...Weird, but okay. He assumes it's someone who's just a little enthusiastic and is just learning to use the phones.]

We'll make more when we think of thing that'd be useful, or if people have requests, yeah. Anything in particular you'd want?

[ichaer]

Well, no one has come at me with a bat today so I'll count that as a good sign that things are... [ back to normal sounds wrong since there is hardly anything normal about this place. ] A little less chaotic, I suppose.

[ the emojis go over her head and she holds in saying anything about making deals with these gods. instead, she frowns. ]

You were injured in the fighting?

video

[thechoiceisyours]

Always a good day when no one's after you with a weapon.

[It's half a morbid joke, half serious.]

Um... Sort of. It's a long story, but it's not like, life-threatening or anything.

[He's okay. More or less.]

Did you do okay? With everything going on?

video

[ichaer]

I don't know, it's almost a little boring without the constant danger and paranoia of if my neighbor is going to attack me with a wooden spoon or not.

[ she grins, shaking her head. ] Nevertheless, I am more than happy to seek my fights with the monsters once again. Still, it is good to hear that your wound is not too serious.

[ ah, the question of the hour. gingerly, she touches the bandages on her forehead that almost bend in with her white streaked hair. ]

More or less. I took one good hit but overall I tried to help those that needed it. It's one thing to pit fighters and mages against one another but to set their rage on those that do not have the same skills? I couldn't idly stand back and watch.

video

[thechoiceisyours]

I so hope you're joking.

[But he says it with a bit of a grin too; while he'd love to never be in danger ever again, he does get some people would be completely bored with a quiet life. Especially regarding hunting monsters when that's what you do with your life.

His grin fades when he notices the bandages, concerned.]

Yeah, it seemed... Totally random or something. So you were just like, stepping in to stop fights when you saw them?
