Video: A Viking and four tentacle monsters walk into a bar...

[ragnarsson]

[Backdated to the 26th.]

[The video opens up with the Viking sitting on the ground. It's clear he's not used to working the device, but Alfred's given him enough instruction for him to work it competently. He's scratched up and bloody, but most of the gore on his face doesn't look like it's his. In fact, he looks rather pleased with himself, all things considered.]

If anyone sees one of those tentacle creatures with a knife stuck in its eye, please retrieve it for me. I was rather fond of that particular one.

[He pauses and grimaces.]

Also, are there any healers adept at fixing broken bones?

Comments

[abyssalarcana]

There are. One I know well, but I don't know if he's around right now. We can look, and if he's not, I can message him.

[At least she has no problem with Law's odd hours. Schedules are a hard thing for her to stick to anyway so the fact that he doesn't seem to stick to one doesn't faze her in the slightest. Still, he's the only one that she has met who can easily repair serious injuries like broken bones in a short period of time.

She wants Ivar to be well. If Ivar is well, then they can hunt and kill. It's a simple but effective motivation for her. She steps forward and holds the door open for him.]

Hello?

[Hm. What is one supposed to say when nobody is obviously in sight? "Emergency?" Is this one? Well, they'll figure it out. Someone will show up if anyone is here at all.]

[mysophobic]

[ Luckily for them both Shigeru just happens to be around and he sure is good at fixing things at least. When he hears people entering he's quick to return to his post at the front of the clinic. He doesn't make a peep when he sees that it's Caedra and someone new.

He'll move quickly though, taking his device out to type on it. He doesn't ask if the other is feeling alright, it's obvious from the state of him that he's not. He doesn't actually look too worried but Shigeru is serious now as he observes Ivar's wound. ]

Can you move him to one of the examine rooms? I can heal him in there better. [ And it'll prevent anymore blood from staining the floors and getting everywhere. ]

[ragnarsson]

[Ivar looks around the place for someone. Hopefully, there's a healer about. He'd very much like something to be done about his leg. Breaking his bones never gets easier no matter how many times he does it.

When the man appears, he looks from the device to Caedra. Looks like he's been saddled with a mute.]

What's he saying?

[He can read runes, but not the English alphabet. The Viking king never had cause to learn.]

[abyssalarcana]

Ugh, it's the mute again.

[For how reactive and impulsive she is, reading just takes too long when she's not in the mood. An odd attitude for a poet, perhaps, but this isn't poetry, it's basic communication. And her preferred style of basic communication involves eviscerating people.]

It's not translating for you? Sometimes it does. Here, come with me. He needs you to sit down in one of the rooms.

[All of her patience is currently monopolized by trying to help guide Ivar over, anyway. He's slow with his injuries but she will do her best to lead him to an examination room as requested.]

[mysophobic]

[ The term 'mute' makes him frown as he gives Caedra a small look. Maybe she's not as nice as he initially thought, huh? It's not like he wants to be mute, on the contrary it'd be easier if he wasn't given his profession and field. Still he's used to such words being thrown at him so he doesn't mind it too much anymore. Once Ivar is situated on the examination table he'll readily get to work.

The purple sigil and the shift of his eyes from normal to black with purple sclera starts up as he used his powers to easily heal Ivar's broken bones. His leg and hand will be fully healed in a matter of minutes before Shigeru pulls away with a small huff as the sigil behind him disappears and his eyes return to normal. He'll type something, realizing that Ivar can't read, he'll pause before pointing to his leg and hand. ]

Ask him how it feels? And tell him to try moving them to make sure they're okay. [ He'll type to Caedra as he gives her a curious look. ]

[ragnarsson]

[Ivar's in no position not to accept help, but it's still a startling to see Shigeru's eyes change as he uses his powers. At least he doesn't automatically go for one of his knives. It's astounding to see how fast his bones heal.

He looks to Caedra again so that she can translate when Shigeru types. Perhaps he should get a foothold on learning how to read English. It's not like he's got anything better to do with his time here. He nods when she tells him.]

No more pain than usual. [Ivar flexes the fingers of his hand experimentally and his leg makes the smallest of twitches to confirm. He feels like there's something else he should be saying. Oh right. Manners.]

Thank you.

[abyssalarcana]

[She translates, but she's still thinking about that sigil in the meantime. A person who can mend the body with magic like that tends to be one familiar with necromancy - both its healing powers as well as its destructive ones - and it's still puzzling to her where any of his power comes from. If he wasn't so tedious to speak with, she would ask. Or, rather, insist.

But he fixed Ivar, so she turns to the boy and gives him a once-over, and a nod.]

Good.

[Then, to Shigeru:]

Are you a necromancer?

[May as well try the direct approach.]

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru nods and gives Ivar a smile. It seems like the other can't read what he types so he'll just have to use body language instead.

But that thought is curbed when Caedra throws that question out there. Necromancy was...strange in his world. The phrobiests who were afraid of death...they were strong, impossibly so, unable to be killed and unable to die if only for a few minutes. He's heard of stories of them but never actually seen anyone with the power. His powers were a close stem of what necromancer's had but they weren't the same. After all he could die and age like anyone else. ]

I'm not. That type of power is...really rare in my world. I don't even know if such a thing exists, all I've ever heard are stories of things like Necromancers.
