[Orb] GHB 17, Late Morning
I would like very much to speak with anyone the locals have called 'prince' or 'princess.' I have a proposition for you.
Bakura, do you know anything about what has been happening to the refugees? The people being forced out of villages and homes by the thorns? Where are they going, what are they doing?
Does anyone run any kind of a business, by chance? I seem to recall a bakery, and a smithy, though the latter isn't running, the last I heard.
I know I'm going to regret asking, but is there anyone in the city familiar with complex spells? Magics. Whichever. Specifically, would it be possible to link two locations, separated by a large distance? And is anyone capable of this?
And what does anyone know about a disembodied, female voice?
[A moment of silence, then a heavy sigh.]
Also, if there is someone who is familiar with the use of a sword, I'd like to speak with you about the basics. I would rather not make a fool out of myself.
Oh, and Shin, perhaps we could speak later.

When we were looking at it, the last entry was about that fight. I haven't seen a new one, but I also haven't looked at it for a few days.
It said something...I'm sure it used that word, 'warp.'
no subject
'...As the sands of the shattered hourglass blew away in the wind, so too did the effects of the warping of time fade away. The King returned as if he had never left, the clock in the town began to run with it's old reliability and signboard in town returned to its former inane glory, its caretaker resuming his job with no word to where he had been.
And yet, all was not as it had once been. In that spot where the battle raged, there is a strange point of magic. A warping of space that seems to pulse. It is only visible to those who hold magic deep within them, or those who have been touched by it and those whose magic can see into the future may find themselves drawn to it and their arts touched by its strange power. '

[She sighs.]
I'll have to look at it when I'm back. I'll put it onto my list. Right after emptying the treasury, buying a lighthouse, chartering a boat, and hiring some runners.
This is why I need agents.
[The last is said softly, and is almost inaudible as she looks off to the side.]
While you are about the town, would you ask after the field? See if anyone has said anything about unusual occurrences happening? Sightings, encounters, experiences...anything that is not what should have happened there? Let's face it, there are a great many more townspeople than there are the rest of us.
no subject
Maybe you can hire a secretary when you're emptying the treasury?
no subject
[A snort.]
I'm not sure I'd trust anyone from this world with the job.

[Also, you know, she holds no loyalty to the King. At all. And she's not afraid to remember that.]
However, I should consider it. Or perhaps one of the others brought here might be a suitable candidate.
no subject
[[because holy crap is he being worn down by all the nagging healing requests.]]
no subject
The longer you can hold out, the more entrenched any favours owed to you will be. Perhaps if you insisted only on treating more serious injuries? But when you have to stop, let me know. You have my support.
[Because he's too important to run into the ground for no good reason. And there's a part of Liara that hates herself for making judgements based on the value of use she can get out of someone, but that doesn't stop her doing it anyway.]

You really should take care of yourself. What would happen if you fell asleep, too?
I'm the only other doctor in town, and I'm not sure I quite qualify for the job you're doing.
no subject
And I wouldn't even call this being a doctor. A doctor can tell what the problem is and what caused it. I just tell the body to hurry up and heal itself already. [[His tone is light and joking, a slight hint of a
New YorkCity accent in his voice as he unconsciously mimicked the locals of his previous home town.]]no subject
Besides, without medi-gel, that's still more than I can do.
[And then her smile falters just a little bit, because that sounded like Engineer Daniels.]
no subject
Medi-gel?
no subject
[She doesn't say anything about the reaction, though.]

no subject
But we don't have any.

I can't dismiss the chance, but I've not seen a great many things that would be necessary to even hope to recreate it. And Sirta specifications are hard to get, so I'm not sure I could make it anyway. Bad medi-gel is even more dangerous than none.

[Guess what? You're now in charge of that, Bakura. Congratulations.]
