[ring ring (compact equivalent)]

Yosuke? I have a question for you, if you have a moment.

[aerodynamic]

Hey, I'm free. What's up?

[lucentia]

Did you use the river for your injuries previously?

[aerodynamic]

Yeah, not long after we got back. Dahut was with me. Why do you ask?

[lucentia]

Did you notice any strange effects afterwards? Such as the loss of your senses?

[aerodynamic]

[ ... ]

Remember how I told you about the power we obtained back home?

[lucentia]

Yes.

[aerodynamic]

It shouldn't have been possible to take that from me. But it did.

[lucentia]

... I see. I'm sorry. [...] Is it still gone?

[aerodynamic]

No. It came back the same day Tsukasa, Mafuyu and Edamura-san returned from their adventure deeper in the maze. It was gone for about a week though which... wasn't great.

[ actually it was awful but he's not going into that. ]

[lucentia]

... I see. A week, then...

[...]

Perhaps we should warn everyone here of the side effects of the water. Anyone who has used its powers may already know, but the information has perhaps not spread otherwise.

[unless there has already been an ic psa and i'm stupid]

[aerodynamic]

It might be less for some people, but... someone else lost some memories and it took about the same amount of time. I think it's probably important to warn everybody though. Like, uh, "use at your own risk" sort of thing. I'm not gonna stop someone if they really need to heal, but nobody else should be caught offguard.

[lucentia]

Indeed. I wasn't aware of the effects until Tokinaga told me just now. Perhaps we can put up a sign in our lodgings for everyone to see?

[aerodynamic]

That's a good idea. It'd at least be harder to miss unless people are sleeping outside or something. [ ... ] What'd Tokinaga-san say about it?

[lucentia]

[waho i'm just doublechecking with mods that we are not banned from ic psa for whatever reason jk yaywon already got back to me and would like you to know that yosuke is also cute and responsible (aka go ahead)]

He didn't go into detail, but he advised me not to use the river for injuries as I "might go deaf, or blind, or lose all sense of touch, or something else."

[aerodynamic]

[ help me. ]

Well he's not wrong, I just wasn't sure if I missed something big or if he was using it as a general example. It sucks we don't have another option either for the bigger injuries but... we'll figure it out. I'm not forcing anybody to use it.

[lucentia]

Indeed. We don't seem to have many medical experts around here, either—I am learning some first aid from Dahut, but by his own account, he is not actually a medical practitioner. Likewise, Tokinaga was somewhat horrified to realize he may be the closest thing we have to a doctor.

[aerodynamic]

[ he is also horrified by this knowledge actually. ]

... I can heal, but it's not as powerful as it should be. It's good for minor injuries and stuff, but I couldn't exactly heal myself when I got back. Other people might have similar abilities, too.

[lucentia]

I myself have no special abilities, so I cannot compare. Still, it may be worth compiling information on everyone who does.

[aerodynamic]

Compiling is good. And learning first aid is probably a lot safer in case any of us lose our powers entirely.

[lucentia]

Indeed. It was Lemuen's suggestion.

[aerodynamic]

[ oh... when he responds there's, like, very obvious fondness in his tone. ]

Lemuen-san's so smart, of course she would suggest something like that. Maybe we should also start asking people for other suggestions.

[lucentia]

It is not a bad idea. We are all in this together, so the more coordinated we are, the more helpful it will be.

[aerodynamic]

Let's see what the maze shifts to and tack it on then. But for now we can prioritize figuring out oue healing resources and spreading the word there.

[lucentia]

All right, that sounds like a good plan.
