ITP: the best of intentions

[ifudontsucceed]

[This morning in New Centertopia of Camp, there is a girl crouched over the body of a zombie as it writhes around in the mud. There is a soft chime and a brief flare of light around her, which centers on her outstretched hand-- the zombie only thrashes harder, moaning in zombie-distress

It's not healing if it's not alive.

[ifudontsucceed]

I wont let them die!

[beeurfriend]

That thing was dead before you even looked at it.

[ifudontsucceed]

But...

[looks at the zombie dubiously -- it appears to be trying to flip her off, but lacks the proper digits]

[thearchemage]

I don't think you're going to be able to heal it.

[ifudontsucceed]

But I have to at least try--! So many people in this town look so sick...

[thearchemage]

I'm pretty sure they're supposed to look like that, though.

[ifudontsucceed]

What do you mean?

[foreverjustice]

[wait]

--Lady Estellise?

(( Placeholder! ))

[ifudontsucceed]

--Flynn!

[foreverjustice]

When did you arrive? Are you unharmed? And please, do not worry over the zombies, they can't be healed.

[ifudontsucceed]

No, no, I'm fine, but what about you?

[Looks between Flynn and the zombie for a moment, hesitant, then runs over to pat Flynn down]

[neveroptionc]

Ah.

The infamous 'heal bombing' tactic in full force.

[ifudontsucceed]

I'm doing the best I can, but...

[neveroptionc]

Have you considered using your end-all healing spell, whatever it may be? It may result in instant experience.

[ifudontsucceed]

I-I don't think we need something like that, for just one person.

[hitme_baby]

You're just wasting your energy. The zombies are already dead and all, so...!

[ifudontsucceed]

[...Looks at the zombie]

Already dead? But... how can that be?

[hitme_baby]

Well, it's a zombie. Like in horror movies.

[ifudontsucceed]

...Oh!

Th-Then... I've just been hurting it!
