expiationlogs | August catch-all (open)

Who: Emet-Selch and anyone!
Where: Aldrip and nearby outskirts
What:
- Emet-Selch attempts to do some actual work for once at the clinic, healing people's hurts (shock, horror).
- He takes the device he found around for walkies, finds other ~~hot new single~~ users in his area!
- Encounters a morbol in the wild and it tries to follow him home. Or take him home. Hard to tell with these smelly things.

Warnings: None, will update or list in comment headers if necessary

(Will match tag format, action brackets are fine)

1. The Ascian will see you now

Having returned from the desert, it's business as usual at the clinic. Emet-Selch doesn't really like working but he did make a deal with that young woman to put in the time here. Besides, the pay is going towards the weapon he is commissioning from a local blacksmith - one eager enough for the challenge of an unfamiliar weapon and understanding enough to accept payment in installations.

So the Ascian puts aside his ennui and dons the more agreeable veneer of Solus zos Galvus as he attends to those still recovering from the hurts of the past two months. Being one of the Chosen, he's usually also first to be called on to look at other Chosen who walk in.

a) Greeting walk-in patients:
The smile on his face almost resembles a smirk as he walks up to you. "And what trouble have you gotten yourself into, hmm?"

b) Interrupting him whilst he's busy:
He glances up, from whatever or whoever he's working on with a frown. "Do you need something?" he asks, tempering his impatience with effort.

2. Tindr? More like Findr

After putting out a request for help and cobbling together some semblance of a working device, Emet-Selch can be found trying to access some of its other features - to not so very great success. Having noticed that it seems to randomly react to something, he takes the thing outside and tries to locate the source.

Which is how he comes across someone else with another device.

Emet-Selch looks at you, looks at the device in his hands. Frowns.

"Why is this reacting to you?" he asks irritably.

3. Friends Forevermor-bol

Further afield, outside of town - or even perhaps closer to the forest's edge - Emet-Selch has come across a familiar creature.

Or perhaps, rather, it finds him.

The creature in question is a towering mass of thick, vine-like tentacles and a gaping, putrid maw. Like an upright land octopus that is at least as tall as a man. Emet-Selch, surprised to come across something from his homestar, is too stunned to move before the seedkin notices him and starts to undulate over.

"No," he says emphatically, jabbing a finger at it. "Stay."

As if this creature can be trained like a dog. He remembers that gift sent by one of the provinces and how it terrorised the imperial gardens before somehow escaping out into the snowy tundra. Morbols and their ilk simply do as they please.

--and this one attempts to reach out and grab him.

He vanishes into a rift, materialising a distance away. But the morbol advances relentlessly, vines reaching for him.

"Of all the creatures to make their way here from our star, why this one?!"

Threaded | Flat

Injuries are not uncommon to Yuja, she's been injured more times than she can possibly count. But this is the first time the injury couldn't heal by magical means and was taking its sweet time about healing. She's perfectly happy to ignore it, push through the pain, and be active, but others keep telling her to rest.

In fact, she's been dragged to the infirmary and forced to stay in a bed until her injury heals. So there she is, unable to sit still, huffing and sighing in boredom.

She could be doing anything else! She could be helping build new housing or exploring the area or gathering supplies! But no, she's stuck here being bored out of her mind.

Emet-Selch is sure to feel her gaze boring into the back of his skull at some point even if she doesn't directly address him.

[Vi's not usually one for tech, but she can be found once or twice tapping away at the tablets. it usually doesn't take her long to get fed up enough to toss the tablet (sometimes breaking it further), but she's noticing that it starts to beep.

she thinks she might actually... be getting somewhere?

but then she looks up and sees that guy, and she frowns a little before she tosses her head and puts a smirk on her face intead.]

I dunno, maybe it's attracted to my charm. You worried about it?

[He'd only been here to see Yuja -- to make sure she was still resting, first of all, and second, to make sure her injury is healing properly, though he doesn't have the proper experience healing people to treat her himself. But as he turns the corner to her room, he sees a familiar face coming out of her room and stops.

Elidibus does not initially approach Emet-Selch. Instead, he follows him down the hallway, only addressing him when they're out of earshot of Yuja, assuming she's in her room like she's supposed to be.]

Emet-Selch. Is she well?

[Pause.]

...Are you?

Silco might have been healing some significant wounds on his person, but that wasn't why he was here at all. His daughter had patched him up to the best of her ability, and as far as he was concerned, that was good enough. His body would be forced to do the rest, and he'd entertain no other method at this point.

Jinx had told him that there was a clinic here, and while it was a long shot, he did need a doctor of sorts. The last one that he had on his employ and provided as much unethical means to do as was necessary, Singed had not yet made the journey to this place. So, he was in need of a replacement for the time being.

He walked in to the clinic in question and made a noise at the greeting. "I'm inquiring about potential future services of someone who values progress." Through any means necessary, goes unspoken, but anyone keen enough would pick it up.
