❅ Eleven (Text)

[stonebird]

I have a delicate matter I need to discuss with a lady; preferably one who comes from a modern era. (Since her era has been called "medieval" more than once. Surely humanity has progressed in this...?)

I thank you in advance for your time. I would also like to -

(This is more difficult.)

A great Elf has left us. He was very dear to me and I will miss him for the rest of my life.

Chances are, even if we could find a list of ingredients, we wouldn't find the stuff we needed. We're better off looking for the bottles of pills. The bottles should be about this [she holds her thumb and index finger about two inches apart] tall and round with flat tops.

No idea. I figure some advertising genius somewhere came up with 'em and named them that 'cause they sounded medical.

(She nods at the description, somewhat eager to see the pills (and, of course, to experience relief).)

They are strange names and that makes them easier to recall. I will gladly share what we find with you. (Being selfish is tempting, but her conscience is overwhelming.) Pain-killers could be useful in other circumstances too. We are always beset by monsters and injuries are far too common.

Yeah, they are. And, thanks. That's real nice of you. [Laura usually doesn't have problems, but when she does, she tends to be bed-bound] Yeah, they could be. Even if we find the Midol, it's probably not a bad idea to keep looking for the Tylenol.

...or any other medication that diminishes pain. (If they find enough of it, she is planning on visiting the Clinic and making sure they are suitably stocked.) I have lived in three worlds now and I know not to take any comfort for granted.

Yeah, there's uh. Motrin and aspirin and Advil and ibuprofen and Excedrin. Any of those would work. They should all be in the same kinds of bottles. [oh, the Clinic. that's probably a good idea] Three worlds? How did that happen?
