[Special 006: Voice] Request

[no_use_running]

[Today Ami has a somewhat odd request, or perhaps not so odd as the picture window suggests she's making the post from the clinic. And since this will be needed essentially permanently, it's best to ask about a new one.]I'll also look, but does anyone know of a wheelchair in good condition that someone could use? Failing that, I know a lot of

A wheelchair?

Is it permanent... [[More concern for the patient at the moment. Usagi-squee after.]]

[no_use_running]

[The misunderstanding is going to be strong with these two.]

It seems as though it would be permanent. However, the wheelchair should help a great deal.

[love_me_venus]

Are they gonna be alright though? [[She didn't suspect Ami at all.]] Like, will they walk again?

[no_use_running]

I don't think so; it's been this way since they arrived. This will just make it easier to get around independently.

[the_mikester]

What do you need a wheelchair for?

[Mike's voice is a little worried. You aren't hurt, are you?]

Re: [Voice]

[no_use_running]

It will help one of my friends to be able to get around more easily. Since she arrived, people have been helping by carrying her. This will help her be able to go more places on her own more freely.

[Voice]

[the_mikester]

Oh, that's cool. [Phew.]

My brother Raph used to work at the smithy, though he doesn't any more. I bet if you went there they would build you one, though.

Re: [Voice]

[no_use_running]

I should ask them directly, but I feel a little nervous about that, so I thought this way, it would seem less like I expect something than if I ask someone specifically.

[Robert's curious about this statement and the fact she's broadcasting from the clinic. Does Ami have a friend in trouble?]

A wheelchair? [Such devices, while still ancient, have been refined in Robert's time and he recognizes the terminology.] Is there someone here who is having difficulty walking, perhaps from the draft? Or is that person differently-abled in some manner?

[He makes a sort of sad noise at the mention of the draft, but doesn't really comment. Having had time to think about it, he discovered that the idea of Ami fighting didn't bother him as much as it should have. It... did, in a way, but... she was fighting for... a reason? She was helping people, anyway. And at least she didn't enjoy the battles.]

... Oh, I spoke to Rupert Giles myself, and he did mention you. Such an exceedingly informative and eloquent individual. [If a little odd due to being from a magical world... but it's like Helios. That's something Robert can relate to.

The rest gives him some pause before he continues.] And Usagi-chan... Ah, I remember

Re: [Voice]

[no_use_running]

This will just help her to be able to get around more easily. [read: confidentiality.] I know some people who are very handy, but I don't want to make them feel pressured, so I thought if I asked this way, just someone interested in helping could offer, maybe.

[She falls silent a moment, but plunges ahead.]

I'm glad to see Usagi-chan. She's from a world very slightly different from mine, but it's still her, so I'm happy. I just wish it wasn't here.

[Voice]

[semper_cogitans]

[That makes sense, and Robert nods.] I understand, Doctor Mizuno - a perfectly logical and indeed ethical request. I hope that your friend will be able to find a well-designed means of transport to aid her in the village... This may require some refurbishment of her living spaces, though. Perhaps someone ought to see about constructing ramps or elevators for her as well?

Ah, so she is from another multiversion of your world...? Most fascinating. It is indeed a shame that we are still trapped here... but, I must say, I have learned so many things and met so many wonderful people here [- and Robert's voice goes almost... fluttery there -] that I would not wish to revoke them.

Still, it would indeed be better to be at home, most likely... just, it would also be nice if there were some method of taking people to other multiverses from here as well.

Re: [Voice]

[no_use_running]

I could say the same. I sort of started making more friends here. Maybe that helped me, and that's why it was a little easier at home later on, too.

[goldenglasses]

[A wheelchair?] Is everything alright?

Re: [Voice/Filtered from Knives/Legato/Yuber]

[no_use_running]

It is. [She tries to keep her voice reassuring, because she doesn't want to go into details, either; it's not her place.] It's just, someone who arrived recently will be able to get around more easily with it.

Re: [Voice/Filtered from Knives/Legato/Yuber]

[goldenglasses]

Oh, I see, I'm glad everything is alright then, but I'm afraid I don't know where you'd get one.

The medical building might have a couple.

Re: [Voice/Filtered from Knives/Legato/Yuber]

[no_use_running]

I've heard the old building has one. I haven't been there since coming back, so...

(ooc: See, Ami should know that if they do or not, but I didn't want to assume... so now I feel dumb. -_-; I've tried several many times to get clinic/doctor types to talk about what's there or not and what's happening there or not. >_<)

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

There should be a wheelchair in the old clinic, if I'm not mistaken. It's probably a few years old by now, but I don't see why it wouldn't still work.

Re: [Voice]

[no_use_running]

It isn't in use? It'll be needed more or less permanently, so...

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

I can't think of anyone around who uses one at the moment. It used to belong to another resident a long time ago.

Re: [Voice]

[no_use_running]

I see. It might be the best idea to use, then. Thank you for telling me about it.
