Do you know where Charlie Crews' cabin is?

[private, to Sherlock Holmes] [the gaslight version, slightly backdated]

This needs to be discrete. Do you know where I might borrow or beg an herbal-based burn cream?

[private to Persephone]

Have you see Monsieur Crews in the gardens?

[feels_no_love]

Yes. Does he need checking on?

[private]

[young_idealist]

He does. Would you mind checking on him and reporting to me what you find?

[private]

[feels_no_love]

On my way now.

[A pause of a few minutes]

Armand, the room is transformed. He is gone. There are only a few objects left in here.

[private]

[young_idealist]

It's back to... a generic room again?

That means he's gone. I'll tell the wardens.

[Private]

[persephonepearl]

No, I have not.

[Private]

[young_idealist]

Oh dear.

I'll talk to Mme. Owens and try to find out where the other keys are. Have you been able to work in the open areas of the garden?

This worries me, but I don't want to interrupt how the plants are cared for. I know that's important to you.

[Private]

[persephonepearl]

You should return my key. I do not need to be locked out of there; you know that I will not use anything in the locked portion.

Thank you for your concern.

[Private]

[young_idealist]

I would like to return it. I'm talking to your warden now. Sadly, at the moment, I don't have a key myself. I need to find M. Crews or get duplicates made from the one Mme. Owens has.

I don't have any problem at all with you having your own key. I'd only ask that you be vigilant that other inmates don't get their hands on the tools and such in the restricted areas. It would be just as much your responsibility as anyone else's with a key.

I am afraid I don't, besides the obvious location of our cluster of supposed doctors. What has happened that you cannot seek them out?

{Private}

[young_idealist]

I've been requested to seek the aid for a friend of my inmate's who apparently doesn't trust the doctors or modern remedies. I think we'll consult some books and make up one ourselves.

{Private}

[so_meretricious]

If you require help in the preparation my skills and equipment are at your disposal-while my expertise runs more to identifying substances I have many times prepared solvents which vary only in composition to salve. In either case, I do wish this friend a swift recovery.

Do have perhaps a carrier oil or some beeswax?
