029 - backdated flood post + post-flood checkin in one bargain entry.

[cauchemal]

[Backdated to just after this incident. Gloriously public voice post in which Mal sounds pained and kind of upset.]

Does anyone know how to remove porcupine quills?

Also, I advise everyone to stay away from the sixth-floor common room and the porcupine therein.

[Later, after the flood has ended: filtered to Mal's friends.Well, that was ...

Porcupine quills? To the infirmary with you!

[cauchemal]

Yes, I'm on my way. [An aggrieved sigh.] I was only trying to help the creature.

[naughtbutlife]

Anyone turned into a porcupine during this particular flood is bound to be trouble, madam.

You are not too terribly hurt, are you?

[cauchemal]

Is that how it works, then? That the animal reflects some manner of oneself?

I'm not too badly hurt. Sveta's removed the quills and I'll be all right.

[greatlightother]

Oh, Mal. Do you need me to come to you? I can get them out.

[cauchemal]

I can come to the infirmary. It's my hand. I suppose I should have known better than to try and pet a porcupine, but ... you know, it's someone, and I didn't think it would try to hurt me.

[greatlightother]

Well, unfortunately, some people are like that. Come up, then. I'm waiting for you.

[cauchemal]

[Mal arrives shortly after holding her hand out gingerly, careful to not jostle it and drive the spines in further.]

Well. Here it is, then. [Deep breath.] I know it's going to hurt. They've got barbs, haven't they?

Thank you, Sexby.

Your wife bears much credit. I couldn't have done it without her kindness and sympathy.

Re: private

[cauchemal]

Does it? I suppose it must.

You have had an inmate graduate yourself, have you not?

[lost_undercover]

I'm alright. Are you?

[cauchemal]

I'm fine. My hand is still a little sore, but nothing so terrible.

Private-

[lost_undercover]

I'm glad you're alright.

[cauchemal]

How did you fare?

Private; Post-Flood

[paradoxlol]

Glad to be on two legs again. [Pause.] How's the hand?

Private; Post-Flood (want to spam here or log?)

[cauchemal]

Sore, but not so bad. Sveta treated it well.

Now that you're human again, I've something to tell you.

Private; Post-Flood (Whichever works best for you!)

[paradoxlol]

Yeah? In person, or...?

Private; Post-Flood (Let's go with spam here.)

[cauchemal]

In person. I'll come to you, if you're free.
