... remember yesterday's list?

[quiet hiss of breath]

Feels like five and eleven caught up with me today.

Again.

[ooc; souveniers you never lose. right forefinger is sliced clean off, big ass stab wound to the chest. idk. the only reason she isn't dead from that second one yet is because her magic heals the wound after the curse

[winewomenand]

I thought that you healed. You heal, don't you? Why can't you take care of whatever's going on?

audio;

[captainshort]

Because the damned City won't let the healings take.

[winewomenand]

Oh.

That does sound somewhat gruesome, doesn't it. Makes me want a bloody mary or six.

[captainshort]

Hilarious, Robin. Why don't I get on that after I put my finger in the freezer?

[guardianed]

...You'll be all right?

[captainshort]

I'll manage. This isn't the first time. And if this kills me again-well, I can wait until midnight.

[guardianed]

I know. Nearly the entire force was out last time.

...Did it kill you last time?

[captainshort]

[a brief, wry chuckle.] The stab wound always does. It's alright. I think I've got a full tank of magic to hold me off until it's over.

[missesthestars]

Holly, is there anything I can do to help?

[captainshort]

Unfortunately, no. Unless you have suggestions on how to keep a severed digit until it can be reattached.

[missesthestars]

Actually, if I heard Robin's suggestion correctly, his is a good one. If you freeze it, the water in your cells will expand and damage the tissues.

[captainshort]

I had to check.

[worksmart]

[And he's gone back and read that list]

Give me an address.

[Voice]

[captainshort]

[And by this point, her magic's almost spent. Still, the elf manages to keep her tone light.]

Hey, Dr Chase.

[Voice]

[worksmart]

[She's good, but he's had a lot of years picking up what's underlying the bravery.]

It's not a social call, Holly. Tell me where to get you.

[Voice]

[captainshort]

Robin's done what he can... the City won't let anything take until the curse is over.
