There's medicine now.

It's not very good. I don't know how this works.

Comments

[justanitgirl]

What kind of medecine are we talking?
Like, basic first aid, penicillin, or are we talking homeopathic remedies?

[dislikeable]

Natural remedies. Bandaging.

I think I can make it stronger. I just don't know how yet.

[justanitgirl]

Is it possible to use things from home, because stitches are really helpful.

[dislikeable]

i don't know

[justanitgirl]

Who's been sitting in one of those seats the longest? Maybe they can help.

[dislikeable]

I don't know that either.

❰ just assume that she has 0 answers to any of your questions, honestly. it'll save you a lot of time and effort. ❱

[justanitgirl]

How about we go find a library and see if there's anything there about all this?

[The comment hurts her soul. If they had the internet she could just pull it up or get it by less then legal means. But no, she has to go to a library and hunt through books. So much time wasted.]

[dislikeable]

Would there be?

❰ have anything about this, she means. ❱

The only library I've seen was small. Wouldn't help at all, for something like this.

[justanitgirl]

Right, not helpful, and the locals are useless. Maybe I can talk to Steph and see what she know.

Until then, mind if I stop by and tell you what I know about medicine?
It might help a little.

[fungi_notpunny]

Thank you. I don't think any of us really get it, so it's okay.

[dislikeable]

Do you know how to make it stronger? We can stop bleeding now, but it isn't enough.

[fungi_notpunny]

The priest at my temple said that the more people give offerings to it, the more successful hunting will be. Maybe it's similar for medicine?

[dislikeable]

Do they already know where to bring the offerings? ❰ or is there more that katniss has to do here? ❱

[fungi_notpunny]

Letting them know what you want and where you want it could be a good idea, but I think people just leave them on steps, or burn flowers or whatever in the braziers otherwise.

[dislikeable]

Don't burn flowers. Some are good for cures, or for eating if you're hungry enough.

[fungi_notpunny]

It was an example, but yeah, okay.

What flowers are good for eating?

[Ellie knows some good berries, but she's not a pro at plant identifying. That was part of basic soldier training back home, when you were officially part of FEDRA and less likely to desert or die or get kicked out, and Joel hadn't shown her much outside of what never to eat. Hunting lessons doubled as lessons on how to murder people trying to kill her.]

[upshore]

cool so can i not get infected with super tetanus

because that would be just stellar

[dislikeable]

I don't know

❰ the most useful god ever, it's katniss. ❱

[upshore]

:|

so is this god thing bogus orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[dislikeable]

i don't know

❰ at least she's honest?? ❱

[upshore]

it was absolutely useless, thanks

[zombology]

Thank goodness.

At least bandages will work. A little medicine is better than none at all.

[dislikeable]

It's not enough. I'm going to do what I can to make it stronger.

[zombology]

It will have to be enough for now. We are all of us only human in the end.

[Well. Sort of, anyway.]

[dislikeable]

Don't underestimate humans. It doesn't tend to turn out well for people who do

<big><tt>

[plasthmatic]

Well, that's comforting. We have medicine but we don't know how it works? Might as well not have it at all.

Fuck.

[dislikeable]

Have you ever tried to bandage a wound that won't stop bleeding?

Now you might not have to.

❰ she may not know how it works, but that doesn't mean she won't get a little ruffled if you imply that it's useless. ❱

[plasthmatic]

Are bandages going to work? Because you said like a minute ago that you didn't know h o w this works.

[dislikeable]

I came here with wounds I needed to bandage. They wouldn't stop bleeding through until I sat on this throne.

[choosetruth]

[Thank fuck. Georgia takes some painkillers and washes them down with coffee. Not her caffeine of choice, but the combination makes her feel almost human. Only almost, but that she can deal with once she gets other important matters taken care of.]

Come to the Communications Temple. You might be able to solve our problem.

[...human doesn't mean polite.]

[dislikeable]

❰ might be able to 'solve their problem'? she's no medic, and she's definitely no god. but she is pretty okay at faking it til she makes it, so: ❱

Where is that?

[choosetruth]

I'll send over directions.

[Insert directions here whooo.]

Bring gloves and a mask. Theoretically your god of medicine status should protect you, but I'm not about to start trusting in divine power now just cause I apparently am one.

[dislikeable]

Okay.

❰ no estimated arrival time, nothing.

but a few hours later, she'll show her face at the aforementioned temple, a medical mask secured to her face. she slips latex gloves onto her hands on the way through the door, rolling her shoulders a little to suppress the shudder at how they feel against her skin. ❱

[choosetruth]

[When Georgia sees who it is, she opens the door, nodding approval at the steps Katniss has taken to protect herself. She's wearing a mask and gloves too. Keep the infection risk minimized.]

Thanks for coming. I'm Georgia Mason. This is my brother Shaun.

[She gestures over to him.]

[adaptiveimmunities]

[Shaun waves. He's also wearing a mask and gloves, for all the good it will do, and he's not sure it's that much. Without an actual sterile environment and a hazmat suit, he's pretty sure their zombie germs aren't really going to stay contained.]

Hi.
