[Open] When You Do Nice Things

[chatwithdeath]

🧙 WHO: Naomi Kimishima and You
⚔️️ WHAT: Helping clear up the Forest of the Felled and curing people... as usual. Catch-all for November
🕒 WHEN: All throughout November until Event
🗺️ WHERE: Forest of the Felled and Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: In the Forest of the Felled, but insomniac healer. However, may be warnings depending on thread directions so will update as they come.

I. A Cure on Cloud Nine

[As the forest was, there shouldn't be any issues clearing it out, but someone apparently ticked the Naiads off and now, there was a basilisk. At least it wasn't like the serpent she'd always heard about, but having some allies paralyzed would not do.]

[Still, a flower that hadn't been seen for years being the cure? And not to mention, these traps...]

Why did they set this one up?

[Hadn't the main issue with the Forest been spirits? None of these would hold the creatures that had become a problem. Whoever had set off this net she was stuck in at the moment was getting a look from her direction. She should've stayed at the hospital...]

II. Paralysis, Paralysis, and Paralysis Again

[When she first saw the creature upon the chest of another sleeping nearby, she wasn't sure what she was seeing. However, the conscious effort of their apparent attack on the person does process - enough that she'll borrow a companion's weapon (whatever it may be) and attack it, knocking it off without much hesitation.]

[But whatever it was doing had already started. As she's not a cognitive mage, she cannot do anything, but she could confront the demon.]

Try to wake them. I'll hold it off.

III. General Clinic (but it's Magical Flu Season)

[Another month, a coming season, and it was about that time a yearly disease should come around. It really was thanks to her world that Naomi didn't catch many common maladies, but this Magical Flu had other problematic factors that weren't from catching it.]

[At a knock, she looked over at the door.]

Enter slowly... but if you're about to sneeze, do so before you enter.

[And let's not destroy her office space on accident with some leaking magic.]

IV. Wildcard

[OOC: Any prompts you're interested in threading with Naomi that aren't here? Hit me up at demidemonLove. She's not an active quest taker since she has a job, but she can be dragged into them like the quest with the fear gorta, butterflying lettuce, and even the gancanagh (she's an adult, it's all good).]

Comments

[chatwithdeath]

Could've fooled me... [He can lash out at her, it's fine. Sometimes, people need to get that anger out, and Keith's one of those guys that'll hold back by nature.]

Such is the body's limitation. With everything going on, would your normal body really be able to handle your pushing under all of your current stress?

[tempredmental]

[Keith growled softly under his breath and then sighed in frustration. He shrugged a little.]

I don't know. But I definitely know I could have pushed further back home than I have here.

[Everything he went through during the animal mage hunts had showed him that. He'd faced a lot when fighting back home, the Blade Trials specifically, and that had been way more than the groups he'd faced here during that time.

Still, he knew that he would have eventually worn down anyway. He was just pretty certain it wouldn't have happened as quickly.]

[chatwithdeath]

Were it exhaustion alone, perhaps. Without drinking and forgoing meals, exhaustion would be the last thing to take you down.

[But, she's going to leave it at that.]

I'll release you tomorrow, but I want you to rest here tonight.

[tempredmental]

[Keith took a breath, almost looking like he was going to fight her, but then sighed. She wasn't wrong. If she released him now, he was pretty likely to get restless and just start doing something that would land him back in the same situation. He was one hundred percent aware of himself on that level.]

Yeah, fine. [He pinched the bridge of his nose for a second, and then flopped back against the pillows.]

[chatwithdeath]

[Not only that, but she would likely keep him for observation longer. Take one day to have a week.]

Good. Now, rest up. I'll come back to evaluate you again to determine if you can be discharged early in the morning or not.

[tempredmental]

Mm. [Keith nodded.] Okay. [He'd try. This wasn't exactly a comfortable situation for him, so it would likely be hard to sleep on top of everything else going through his head, but he was at least getting proper fluids and nutrition into his system while he was here. That was a plus.]
