[Souji's never spoken to Lamb before, but there aren't many adults here, so he decides to make her acquaintance. And by that I mean ask questions.]

Are there many people here with healing powers?

[echo_of_utopia]

Not as many as we need. Those I encountered are gone, almost without exception. And my own knowledge of medicine is merely... traditional, I suppose. The magic I found here is absent from my world.

[ OH HEY, SPEAKING OF ENCOUNTER. ]

...I believe we never spoke before.

[ You see that ~SMILE~? That is your cue to introduce yourself. Right there! Go on, the camera is running~ ]

[eatsyourscience]

[Well since you left such a great opening...]

No, we haven't. My name is Souji Seta.

[A pause.]

I have some healing powers, if you need them.

[echo_of_utopia]

[ A name! Confetti falls! Doves journey into the blue depths of the sky! The crowd goes wild! ]

I'm glad to meet you, Souji.

[ ...Or maybe just that. We're on a budget here, after all. ]

And I would appreciate any help you can offer.

[exiled_torch]

I'm willing to help transport the injured.

[Emotional pain...When she says that he sort of turns to the side, but doesn't comment on it.]

[video]

[echo_of_utopia]

Thank you, Zuko. [ She smiles. ]

Tell me, how are your own injuries?

[video]

[exiled_torch]

Much better.

[..maybe he should say something.]

But I'm still having a hard time dealing with this place.

[video]

[echo_of_utopia]

[ Of course he should. Who could refuse this loving and trustworthy smile, after all? ♥ ]

...Which is perfectly understandable. Is there anything in particular that troubles you? [ A beat. ] Perhaps if you would like to talk about it in person...?

Hi, Sensei! I can still help whenever you need!

[echo_of_utopia]

Thank you, I'm very glad to hear that.

[ Ah, but this is quite the convenient encounter now... ]

Ryohei, may I ask what you know about this... so-called rebellion?

[kyokugen_sun]

The other me planned it! He doesn't like that the Queen can make them stop existing, so he doesn't want her in charge.

[A pause.]

...I probably should have filtered that to the extreme.

[echo_of_utopia]

...You already spoke about it on the network, did you not?

[ She turns her head a little. ]

We could talk about it in person, if you prefer?

[jivitadana]

[It's been a very long time since Minato last spoke with her, so he thought he should keep in touch.]

I'm still willing to help, Sensei. If you need someone who can heal.

[video]

[echo_of_utopia]

I would appreciate it, Minato. [ And on that note: ] How have you been?

[video]

[jivitadana]

All right, Sensei. And yourself?

[Minato smiled, thinking of the last time they spoke.]

You asked me about blue butterflies before. Do they mean something to you?

[video]

[echo_of_utopia]

I have been well. [ She considers adding details, but decides against it. ] Thank you.

[ In answer to the question it actually takes Lamb a moment to catch on. It's really been a while, hasn't it?

And it will be another moment until she decides how to answer. ]

In the city I lived that butterfly was the symbol of an ideal we shared. The caterpillar reborn in a better image.

[After fiddling with the communicator a little, Katara finally gets hers to do what she wants, which is to start a video response.]

I can help with healing, if you need me to.

[echo_of_utopia]

[ Oh, now there is a new face. ]

All help is welcome. [ She smiles. ] You have only arrived recently, if I'm not mistaken?

[tobendthetide]

How many healers do you have? The idea's to have as many as you can, right?

And that's right... I just arrived a few days ago. I'm still trying to understand this place. Some things seem so confusing.

[ Lamb nods. ]

Wonderland's population changes constantly and some events bear far greater risks than others. The more people can be counted on for their assistance, the better.

At the moment there are three, perhaps four volunteers I can call upon.

[ An encouraging smile. ]

You will have no trouble getting accustomed, I'm sure. Many residents are more than happy to offer their help, myself included. If there is anything you would like to know...?
