medical/self-care live!

[sancrimony]

Who: some cute nurses & you
Where: the lobby + wherever if you want a housecall
When: day 131, noon

[ hope everyone is resting well! or maybe keeping busy, as one does after horrible trauma. some sensitIVs are doing just that - actually, it's been a while since lucifel's called a live, hasn't it? but he's in the lobby in a nurse outfit, with nya,  and possibly a few other sensitIVs who may or may not have been roped into wearing nurse outfits. it's mystery ]

Ahhh . . . Uhm, good morning, everyone -

[ somewhat nervously, or maybe self-conscious, ]

It's been a while, hasn't it? Not for any good reason either, but - in any case, we thought it would be good to have something like this again . . . that is -

Hello! This is a medical checkup Live, since we've had a rough couple of days. Uhm, if you would like to get a checkup, we'll be here in the lobby! Even if you don't feel it's necessary, we've arranged to have some comforts here, if you'd like to stop by for some self-care, instead!

[ camera swivel to the lobby which has a bunch of dakimakuras (stripped of their covers so you're not looking at lewds) and blankets, some of them raised up like someone's taken boxes to make them into tables and put a blanket over it so it looks nicer. on them are a few kettles and teapots, mismatched like someone gathered pretty much every tea dispenser he could. there are also a few trays of sweets - desserts from the café, as well as fruits to be cut up, as well as like, ice cream and Japanese snacks like purin and senbei. there is probably literally a boxtable that is entirely just mandarin oranges. ]

. . . Uhm . . .

[ with the camera back to lucifel, who looks somewhat conflicted - though overall grateful, ]

Speaking personally for a moment - it was really comforting to have people by my side, yesterday - so thank you . . . Even though I was a mess who couldn't stop crying . . .

. . . And - in the end, it made me feel a lot better, and I understood just then that crying can bring great relief! So - uhm, if you need a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen to your troubles, or a lap to rest your head on, or someone to hug or wrestle to get rid of stress - well, I don't know if we're all able to do that here but we'll do our best to help you how we can!

[ and he gives an earnest smile, there ]

I'm still - uhm, learning . . . quite a lot of things, so this is the best I could think of for "self care", but if you have an idea for the future, I'd be most grateful to know it!

[ then, a beat ]

Ahh, but it's understandable that you might not want to relax around some people, so - well - for this reason, we decided against visiting every dorm like we did before, but -

If you'd like one of us to make a housecall to your dorm instead, then please send a text to your preferred healer on duty, and we'll be on the way! If you really can't tolerate any of us, then . . . well, it would be best to get as many points as you can, since this last game was really bad for scars, but - well, in any case, we'll do our best to stay out of your way, so please let us know in advance as well, or otherwise spend some time outside of the lobby, please! We've made a border  -

[ with a gesture to the line of pillows where all dakimakura and blanket and foodnonsense stops  ]

- for you to have a clear walkway, so please bear with our intrusion for the next couple of hours!

[ cheerily. ok lucifel signing off ]

[backstory]

I put in for a kitchen upgrade. I thought it would help bring our unit together more. And we got something that is... something.

[iamverybadass]

Well now I am deeply curious. Lead the way.

[backstory]

Mm.

[ He leads the way, talking as they go. ]

It's quite unfortunate. Our unit's aesthetic is... as it is. I've become accustomed to the clothing by now. There is little choice in that, and our dorm is very soft, which I appreciate as well. However, there are some things that are too over the top.

[Arriving at the dorm now and using his phone to unlock the door.]

At least our living room remains okay.

[Which is what they have to pass through first after the entrance.]

We also received a garden which isn't so bad either.

[iamverybadass]

[ Follows him in, glancing around curiously ]

A garden does sound pleasant... Maybe that should be the next thing Wild City gets. We already have more than enough water features.

[backstory]

Your own apartment is not bad at all I don't think.

[ Some of the animal prints can be a little strange he thinks, but really, they have a comfortable apartment. ]

By this point, I am afraid to install any more water features. Our bathtub was already enough, but the kitchen is worse.

[ Which speaking of that, he leads the way to their kitchen. ]

This is... the kitchen.

[iamverybadass]

[ Makes it exactly one step into the kitchen before freezing in place ]

Is that a mouth?

[backstory]

It's a microwave.

[ Yeah it's a mouth. ]

[iamverybadass]

[ He looks pretty horrified by...everything happening here... ]

Please tell me you have not actually used it.

[backstory]

It is not the microwave that you need to be worried by I don't think. You could try turning the sink on and off a couple of times to see what happens, but I do not recommend it.

[iamverybadass]

No...I believe seeing the "microwave" is more than enough.

[backstory]

It is not very safe or clean in my opinion. I am disappointed because I had hoped to do something nice, but I don't think this will help bring our unit together more.

[iamverybadass]

Could you try to purchase safe equipment from the points shop? Instead of risking an upgrade again.

[backstory]

I suppose we could try that...

I worry about what might happen if we try again, but it wouldn't hurt to try once. I think it is simply... an unfortunate theme of our dorm, such as in the bathroom.

[iamverybadass]

If it's bound by theme...maybe you could have Wild City buy it for you? At worst, you will get a tiger striped monstrosity.

[backstory]

That-- I suppose we could enlist some help from AlcheME if they would be willing to shrink things down for transport.

[iamverybadass]

Of course they'd be willing. They never mind minor things like that.

[backstory]

I worry at times about inconveniencing them, but I will keep it in mind.

[iamverybadass]

Asking them to shrink a piece of furniture isn't an inconvenience. I think it's one of the ways they prefer using their powers.

[backstory]

Perhaps so. They have very convenient powers. I am often envious of the abilities that other units possess.

[iamverybadass]

I don't think about them a lot, but Alcheme's are the most interesting. It would be nice to try them myself one day...

[backstory]

Mm. Your unit has abilities that are conducive to protecting yourselves still. They are quite useful.

[iamverybadass]

But information gathering would be so much easier with Alcheme's.

[backstory]

Can you not disguise yourself as an animal? As something small? That would be useful I think, no one would notice a mouse for example.

[ He refuses to name an insect ]

[iamverybadass]

Yes, but only for brief periods unless it is my signature animal.

[backstory]

Well, I think it is still quite useful. None of my abilities are useful for defense, and when they are useful, it is only in tragic circumstances. And there are a great many who spurn our unit and any help we may wish to offer to begin with.

[ It is a huge frustration. ]

I grow quite frustrated with it all. I am a dragon warrior, but I have been stripped of the power that qualifies me to be one. I am so grateful that my master, for instance, is on a unit that allows her abilities that can help her protect herself. But it is my duty to be the one protecting her.

[ Nggg ]

Of course, I train every day and I am prepared to lay down my life if it came to that in order to keep her safe. But I often feel restless about our lack of defense in the face of others who have proven themselves willing to do harm in the past.
