Informational Announcement

[okayimin]

FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Sister Sara Sawbones
RECIPIENT: all of you
NOTES: sawbones hasn't slept in days, but she does have three dozen hand written pamphlets about the blight and that's basically the same thing.

Right, I don't know how this dream business works, but apparently a number of you didn't bother to bring your good sense with you during it. And since you're all allegedly older than I've given credit for in the past, I'm putting this down to surfacers having regrettably short memories. So I've condensed my extended lecture on the long term effects of Blight into a pamphlet which I will be distributing to all of you for ease of reference. I'm happy to answer any and all questions pertaining to it you may have.

If you can not read, I will be happy to assist you. If you do not wish to receive a pamphlet, too fucking bad. If you attempt to avoid me, I will find you.

[Retiringly,] Please keep some handy to index in the library under the Riftwatch Member Contributions collection; thank you.

[okayimin]

Should have a few left over unless I missed my count.

[murderbaby]

Thank you kindly. May I ask what specific part of our newest horror spurred this on?

[okayimin]

Reckon it's overdue, regardless of whatever that dream business was, folks should be aware of both the long term effects, treatments that can be applied when supplies are short handed and preventatives.

[dinadhal]

My pamphlet, it can go to the library. It doesn't need to come to me.

[okayimin]

Two it is then.

[murderbaby]

I appreciate the generous spirit in which this was assuredly intended.

Feel free to add notations as you see fit to your copy, as to make it unique in our collection.

[venenifer]

I wonder at your choice of language, Sister.

[okayimin]

[ B I T C H ]

Do you wonder or do you have an opinion about it, Brother.

[venenifer]

[More wry than admonishing,]

I wonder who told you it was appropriate for a Sister of the Chantry to speak in such a manner.

[acreage]

You don't waste time.

[ she wasn't...kidding...in the dream, huh ]

[okayimin]

Haven't been sleeping much, so might as well be productive.

[ bold of you to assume she kids ever. ]

[acreage]

I have a feeling that's been going around.

[keenly]

I lived through one and I've treated it. Can I skip this?

[Not that the Blight really came to Kinloch Hold, but it did come very close, so.]

[okayimin]

No.

[keenly]

And I was good in my dreams.

[deceivingly]

I will take fifteen pamphlets. Thank you.

[okayimin]

Why fifteen?

[deceivingly]

Because I know fourteen people, little Sister.

[cozen]

Thank you, Sister.

What do you mean, though—we are older than you’ve given credit for?

[okayimin]

Just as I said. For instance I've only recently learned that Barrow is older than me, of all things. And if that's the case, I've got no idea how old the rest of you must be, but I've clearly misjudged it.

[thereneverwas]

And here I hoped you'd let them all keep thinking I'm twenty.

[kantikoy]

[ Cheerfully: ]

I don't suppose that I'll need to keep mine, what with being a Warden and all, but I'm curious to see it nonetheless.

[okayimin]

All right. If you got any other treatment suggestions for surface folk, I'd be open to hearing them. Haven't found a decent replacement up here for deepstalker acid yet.

[kantikoy]

Mm, no, nothing that I know of. Deepstalkers are so unique. But I could see if there's any to be found? I heard that there were some spotted on the Storm Coast... perhaps the Inquisition would be willing to supply us with some of the reagents? We could write the healers there, at the very least.
