01-Infirmary

For many people the infirmary was the last place they wanted to be, but for Mia it was the closest thing she could find to home in the tower. She'd first headed here first, making sure that she hadn't been injured after waking up. This was certainly the first time she'd seen such advanced healing techniques, although she thought it was odd that the people seemed to rely on systems to do the healing for them. But, this model seemed interesting and she was wondering if there was something she could learn.

She's currently scouring the shelves, looking through all thee medications she could find. Most of these seemed to be for minor ailments, but they were still very far ahead of the healing medicines that she had given to Megan and Justin to distribute in Imil. With these, it was likely that many minor diseases that would become deadly without constant attention of a healer could be stopped!

Mia's rigorously taking notes, but is not oblivious to anyone walking in. If she could, she'd like to help out healing people in the accessible wing of the infirmary, and the first person walking through the door is the best place to start!

02-Library

Anyone heading to the fantasy and fairy-tale section might find a blue-haired healer curled up, with a book in her lap. There's a rather large stack next to her, but she seems to be making progress at a steady rate. Although she's very focused, her posture is still very open. Anyone wandering through this area of the library might get the impression that this person is okay striking up casual conversation, or being asked for help.

03-Room 01-07

Although Mia hasn't had a chance to meet with the other occupants of her room yet, she has a feeling that they'll get along well. It's rather refreshing, after traveling with a group of almost entirely all boys for so long, to be able to stay with a group of girls instead. If the state of their belongings were any indication, they both seemed rather well-kept and organized.

Currently, Mia's looking over some of the books she'd taken from the library and infirmary, making notes. There's a rather orderly stack of books beside the bed, and a candle burning on the nightstand. It's beginning to get late, but Mia wouldn't mind talking to her roommates and getting to know them better should one of them walk in.

Library

[absentapothecary]

Mia may or may not have noticed Annika passing back and forth past her table several times. She sort of trails a scent of heavy potpourri behind her each time she goes by, and she's muttering softly under her breath. It's as though she can't find what she's looking for.

Finally, exasperated, she stops next to Mia and sighs loudly. "...is there no history section in this library? No tomes about arcane matters? This library is dreadful!"

Re: Library

[pureply]

[The person in front of her certainly looked...interesting. At first glance, Mia would have mistaken her for a Proxian, but she lacked most of the Northern tribe's defining features. Still, it wasn't proper to judge someone based on their race. In fact, the person in front of her seemed quite nice.]

Yes. It's quite a shame. Everyone here seems to come from such interesting worlds; I'd like to know more about them.

[absentapothecary]

[Annika's ire begins to fade a little. The girl's response was so... reasonable. And kind, even.]

So would I! I suppose we're going to have to actually seek people out and ask them, if the books aren't going to reveal anything...

[And then a realization hits her, and she smiles.]

Might I have a seat?

[pureply]

Yes. Thankfully, the people here seem very friendly.

[Mia smiles warmly and nods.]

Of course.

Infirmary

[bashfulshifter]

[It's been a few days since Rick's unpleasant encounter in the labs, and over that time he's been to the infirmary more times than he's been over the rest of his life--which is far more times than he would've preferred. Still, it won't do him any good to neglect changing his bandages, and he feels weird about lying around in bed all day and having one of his roommates fetch stuff for him, so despite being hardly able to move Rick's determined to get supplies for himself.]

[In the meanwhile, he'd like to get to know who frequents this floor; there's this whole microcosm of Tower residents that he's barely seen before, simply because he hasn't been here in the past two months, and that's something Rick decides needs to be fixed.]

[He'll continue this task at present. The nervous blonde man has more or less obtained what supplies he requires, but he hangs back, glancing apprehensively between Mia and the floor next to her feet before he gets up the nerve to address her.]

...A-Are you...um...l-looking f-f-for s-something s-specific?

[...Just because Rick wants to get to know people doesn't mean he's very good at it.]

:D!

[pureply]

[It's okay, Mia doesn't mind. In fact, she's happy she was approached by someone else, hopefully someone else who knew something about these medicines.]

[She shakes her head and smiles.]

No, I'm not looking for anything specific. Most of these medicines are new to me, and so I was trying to gather information on them. Are you familiar with these remedies?

yes hello :3

[bashfulshifter]

[Rick looks apologetic, blushing a furious shade of red that he can't hide with gestures because his hands are full or otherwise immovable. He settles for looking away and nervously chuckling.]

...Ah...n-no. I...don't a-a-actually...well... [Aughghghgh this was such a bad idea kicking self so embarrassed] ...I-I f-f-figured, m-maybe, I c-could...h-help you l-look? I g-guess?

[He shuffles his feet in awkward silence. Yeah, this is going well. Since he's obviously not any help, maybe he'll just...slide over somewhere else...]

Re: yes hello :3

[pureply]

[Shhh...don't be nervous no need to be nervous Mia won't bite she promises.]

[She will smile and gesture him to come over here with her, though.]

That would be helpful, thank you. Do you know if these medicines are here for anyone to take?

infirmary

[marriedthebloke]

[Sola-ui works in the infirmary as a nurse, so she notices the other woman rustling through the cabinets.]

...Are you looking for something?

Re: infirmary

[pureply]

[This person seemed to be familiar with the area. Perhaps she worked here?]

Nothing in particular. Do you happen to work here?

Re: infirmary

[marriedthebloke]

Yes, I am a nurse. Do you need a guide as to what all these bottles are?

[Not that Sola-ui is an expert pharmacist. But she can largely say which medicines have which effects. Plus, the effects, side effects, and ingredients are written on the bottle labels.]

Re: infirmary

[pureply]

If you have the time, that would be lovely. I'm a healer, but I just arrived here, and I'm not sure what most of these are.

Library!

[seekinganswers]

Mia?

[When the Mercury Adept looks up, she will find a familiar-looking blonde-haired girl who appears to be very pleasantly surprise. Sheba has a small stack of books tucked under one arm and had been on her way out, but she'd seen a flash of blue hair and had gone to investigate.

She was just glad it was Mia, and not her cousin.]

When did you get here?

:D

[pureply]

Sheba?

[Wow, is Mia glad to see you. Sheba's the first person she's come into contact with from back home, and also the first indication that she wasn't alone in all of this.]

Yesterday. Have you been here long?

[seekinganswers]

[Oh, thank goodness, Mia recognizes her. Sheba had been a little worried that this Mia would have been from an earlier time, before they were friends - just like Ivan.]

Yes... I've been here for months. [Though she really doesn't look much older than she did on Mars Lighthouse. She's got Alchemy to thank for that.] What's the last thing you remember before waking up here?

[pureply]

I see. That must have been difficult.

[Mia is slightly confused, though. She remembered seeing Sheba less than a month ago during the reunion they'd held in Vale. Maybe she was forgetting something?]

I was back in Imil, after lighting Mars Lighthouse.

Room 1-07

[ladyliberty]

It's not so much that Amelia's organized as much as she just doesn't have very many possessions, although her pile of clothes has been steadily growing. For the most part she tries to avoid the dormitories as much as possible except to sleep in, so it's fairly late when she walks in on the new girl and her stack of books.

"--Oh! Hey. You're new here, huh?"

Re: Room 1-07

[pureply]

Mia looks up, able to make out a figure in the dim glow of the candlelight. She looked rather well-built, although her clothes were slightly revealing.

"Yes. Are you in this room, too?"

Re: Room 1-07

[ladyliberty]

And then there's the wings. They're not immediately obvious with the shadows and the dim lighting, but they're kinda hard to miss as she gets closer.

"Yeah. I'm Amelia. What's your name?"

Infirmary!

[gradosfinest]

Well. That had been just plain careless of her, really. Typically fighting the not-so-cuddly woodland creatures in the Forest wasn't much of a problem for Amelia, her usual alertness and all-around skill at close combat generally proving more than enough to handle them even without using a magical weapon like Garm. But today she'd let her guard down just slightly, and one managed to briefly sink its teeth just above her elbow.

It figures it would hit the one part of her arm not covered in armor.

While it was far from the worst injury she'd ever sustained in the Tower that didn't change the fact that it still hurt, and swinging by the Infirmary to at least get a bandage on it or something didn't seem like a bad idea. And so entered Amelia, clutching her wounded arm with one hand, slightly surprised to find another resident of the Tower here. Especially somebody she didn't recognize in the slightest.

"Er... excuse me, ma'am! Are you new here?" Well this was a fine way to make a first impression, show up bleeding from a semi-fresh bite wound.

:3!

[pureply]

A healer's first priority is always her patients, so as soon as Mia hears Amelia enter the infirmary she turns around, trying to get a better look at the soldier. Her arm seemed to be badly wounded, but hopefully nothing that a good ply couldn't fix.

"Yes, but I'm a healer back home, so I should be able to help you. Would you be okay telling me what happened?"

[gradosfinest]

"Well, that's fortunate!" She manages to muster a smile despite her wounded arm, holding her arm up for the other to see. Although certainly not a pleasant looking bite wound, whatever decided Amelia looked edible seemed to miss hitting anything too terribly important in there and the bleeding is more or less under control, although it does look like it probably hurts.

"I don't know how long you've been here so some of this might not make sense, but I was fighting on the floor with a forest against some of the creatures in there and one managed to bite me. They've got incredibly sharp teeth, so I'm probably lucky I wasn't hurt worse."

Infirmary

[godheals]

Raphael practically lived in the infirmary, and while he had no idea that this girl was interested in helping the healers here, when he saw the girl wander in and start looking through the shelves, he smiled and wandered over to her, eager to help if she was ill..or if she needed help with anything else.

"Hello. Are you or one of your friends ill? If they are, I shall do my best to heal them."

Re: Infirmary

[pureply]

"Fortunately, nobody is hurt. I just arrived here, but I'm a healer back home, so I came to see if you needed any help in the infirmary."

Whoever she was talking to looked like he knew his way around the place, which made her feel more at ease.

Infirmary

[godheals]

"I am glad to hear that no one is hurt, and it is nice to hear that you are a healer, even if you have been pulled to this place. I am always happy to help out the injured and fellow doctors and healers here, so if you're interested in anything, let me know. We do not need any help at the moment..though, if you wish, we could organize the shelves."

Which wasn't an incorrect assumption, as he had been here awhile and was made for healing back in his universe.
