Hello. How can I help you?

At home? Oh, do you mean where I come from?

[ Well, at least he has a good response for that. It's even true! ]

I'm a healer.

[cactusy]

Magic or medical?

[everlastinglight]

Both.

[cactusy]

[Hmmm. She tilts her head, studying him.]

But you don't want to work in the infirmary here?

[everlastinglight]

I did not know it was an option.

[cactusy]

It is; we got a couple inmate slots. You interested?

[everlastinglight]

I suppose I could give it a try. What would be expected of me?

[cactusy]

[Shaw turns to head back towards the door onto the ship proper, talking to him over her shoulder.]

Come on, I'll take you down and show you around; then you can decide. It's pretty quiet most of the time, but when something big's happening it gets crazy.

[everlastinglight]

[ Hua Binan nods and follows her. ]

Alright. Do things get "crazy" often?

[cactusy]

[She lifts a shoulder in a shrug, slowing a little so that they can walk side by side.]

I guess that depends on your definition of crazy. Every couple of months the whole ship turns on its metaphorical ass, but not always in a dangerous way. Security here is crap, though, so killings - even mass killings - are pretty common relative to the size of our population.

[everlastinglight]

[ Hua Binan frowns. ]

I've gathered that death is temporary here, but that still sounds like it'd be more than a mild inconvenience.

[cactusy]

As long as you're not too bothered by how existentially weird it feels to die and then come back to life.

[She, for her part, is not; she passed that point long before she ever came to the Barge.]

You're sick for about a week after; it's like a bad case of the flu.

[everlastinglight]

Well, I did have to die to come here. That was strange enough.

[ He tilts his head in question. ]

Flu?

[cactusy]

[They've reached the level 3 hallway, and therefore the infirmary - which is as good a place for this question as one can get, Shaw supposes. She pops the door with her elbow as she goes in, keeping it open for Hua Binan to follow through after her.]

Pretty common disease where I'm from - usually not too bad, unless you're immunocompromised. What kinds of things do you treat at home?

[everlastinglight]

[ Hua Binan nods in understanding. ]

Oh, all sort of things. Injuries, both physical and spiritual. All kinds of diseases and ailments. I've created medicines and other helpful potions as well.

[cactusy]

Other kinds of helpful potions like?
