week 7

[For the first time in several weeks there is no new memorial in the garden. No new body in the morgue, no bloody mess for the roombas to clean. Choromatsu is still in need of time to heal and constant vigilance but he's alive. They're all alive for once on a Sunday and, even with the terrible realizations their returning memories may bring, there's a sense of hope for the first time in a long time.

There is no new floor this week.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[ooc: Don't forget to to turn in your activity for week 6, submit your memory regains and put in your threads for the Benefactors!]

Hey, Canaan, it's an expression. Chill out.

[Calm your Big Pecks, Pidove.]

Man, you and Ardyn--is being good at drawing part of being royalty?

[...okay fine but he still doesn't like it.]

Thank you, Sir Junpei. Perhaps it is. It could result from the skills we must practice.

Art, science, leadership, combat... Question: Is there anything you can't do?

...medicine.

[Aaaand there goes the mood.]

...That bothers you?

The people who have been killed here... a competent medic could have saved some of them.

I'm assuming you don't mean like Nari.

[Well, not that Nari's actually a medical professional.]

[She shakes her head.]

Dame Nari has been wonderful, but there are things she cannot do. Perhaps with additional training she could, but...

I guess we don't have anyone with real medical training. But, Arianna, we... Choromatsu's also the only one we ever found in time. Even Rhys was... it was too late.

No, if... if an experienced Medic from my world had been here, or a War Magus like Dame Chloe, then many of them could still have been saved. Sir Rhys, certainly.

But--okay, Rhys aside, everyone else we found was already...

Not for long. Some of them might have had too much damage to their bodies, but... I have been in worse condition than Dame Mikaela was.

...

What?

I am certain Dame Chloe could have revived her as well.

You've died?

Not for long!

What the hell, even I've only died in alternate histories! Isn't that--that's just normal for you?

I would not call it "normal." It isn't as if we can simply die at our leisure. There are still many things that can go wrong, and if I had not received attention promptly, I would not have lived to speak of it.

Jesus, that's terrifying... I guess maybe it's sort of like restarting someone's heart with a defibrillator, but that wouldn't have helped Mikaela...

She would have needed significant attention.

And your friend Chloe could've just... saved her? Really? ...Would that have been magic?

She uses magic, since she is a War Magus. A Medic would use different methods.

Huh.

Well... as helpful as it'd be to have a magic healer around, I think... well, I'm glad you've been here for us, too.

...thank you, Sir Junpei. I am glad to have had you here, as well.

C'mere.

[And even if she's a princess, Junpei's just gonna reach over and ruffle her hair.]

You'll get to see your friend again. For sure, all right?
