[ ellis' scribbly handwriting appears— ]

So I should consider holding my breath at all times going forward?

[propulsion]

heck yeah if you can't maintain a 10 ft distance
are you sick? what are your symptoms

[heorte]

I'm not sick.

[ well, technically he's always been infected with something but who needs to get into that ]

But I do plan on spending some time assisting the healers, so that might change.
Are you sick, or is the hand washing working out?

[propulsion]

not yet
which is a goddamn miracle considering I don't have a lifetime of building up immunity/resistances to local disease
despite your best efforts apparently. have you considered not spending time assisting the healers?

[heorte]

No. A few of them are sick, and they'll need the extra help.

I'll stand ten feet away from you, assuming you and Wysteria still need me to clear out that side room with the strange looking furniture. But I can't promise to hold my breath the entire time.

[propulsion]

fine
wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose
wash your hands between patients/infected people. normal drinking alcohol probably not potent enough but an alchemist will have something
wear clothes you don't care about or get them scrubbed with lye after
tell everyone else to do the same this is basic sanitation.

[heorte]

I don't see how getting drunk is supposed to be helpful.

[propulsion]

that's not what I'm saying
and you know what even if it were what I'm saying you should figure I know what I'm talking about anyway
I'm from the F U T U R E

[heorte]

I never said you didn't know what you were talking about.

Were you saying I should wash my hands in alcohol?

[ not that he cares to drink at all but this really seems like a waste of liquor ]

[propulsion]

yes
but it won't be at a high enough percentage to do a thing hence alchemist
fortunately for you and everyone I know a guy

[heorte]

If you give me a name, I'll pass it along to one of the healers.
Along with what you said about masks and lye.

You can explain about how it works later.

[propulsion]

I got an idea but it's gonna take a minute to develop/produce
you can pass along the other stuff for now

[heorte]

Alright.
Thank you.

[propulsion]

but if you get sick anyway that's on you
you know there's nothing you can practically do for any of these people right?

[heorte]

[ there is some minor delay in response. ]

I know.
But I can't do nothing.

[propulsion]

you 100% can

[heorte]

I'm not going to change my mind.

[propulsion]

ok
good talk
