To All

[nadine_he_loves]

Hi. It's Nadine again, the healer in Cadens.

A couple of months ago, I got funding from the Cadens Academy of Medicine to work on developing new medications utilizing a combination of local ingredients and floral ingredients from my own world that I've had magically grown here. It's a project I started before I got official funding, but things have gone a lot quicker since I had the money and lab equipment I really needed.

Long story short, I have a few things that have reached the testing stage. And I need volunteers to test them out.

Obviously this is easiest if you're in the Free Cities, but I can meet anyone in Nocwich. You can try it out and contact me with your feedback.

The three things I'm ready to do more testing on are:

A topical oil for muscle and joint pain. Three levels of potency - minor, moderate, major.

A concentrated syrup to be taken alone or mixed into a beverage. Three varieties to treat a variety of ailments - physical pain, digestion distress, or insomnia.

Bathing powder for use of treating minor to moderate joint and muscle pain.

Okay, time for the disclaimers. At high potency levels, there IS a psychoactive effect. Like a lot of heavy duty pain medication, you'll likely feel sleepy and a little out of it. Or a lot out of it. Or euphoric. Or paranoid. Music will probably sound a whole lot cooler and you'll find your appetite stimulated. And I can only guarantee those possibilities in humans. I have no idea how this will effect anyone who isn't or isn't entirely human. That's why I need to test this stuff.

And for anybody from Earth thinking 'those effects sound familiar', yes, the floral ingredient from my world is cannabis.

I can compensate you for your time.

If you're interested, just let me know what you'd like to help me test and if you're local or from Thorne or Solvunn.

[Bless you, Nadine]

Sign me up.

I've had a bum shoulder for years, and I've got a high drug tolerance. Think you can accommodate?

[princessvegas]

It's cannabis. What she's not saying is that it's cannabis.

Being a guinea pig is the ONLY way to get it.

Unless we like you.

[nadine_he_loves]

Yeah, I think I can help you out.

You're local, right?

[nadine_he_loves]

I said what it is! Once, in small letters. In the middle of a lot of other information.

But I'm pretty sure we ARE the only place in the world to get it.

[princessvegas]

Yeah, which means you're gonna be the lady Jeff Bezos of Cadens.

We should look into two-day shipping.

Hi
I think I might make a pretty okay test subject for the insomnia thing. Like, the strongest possible variant you can make.

Are either of the other two things good for phantom limb-adjacent pains?

[earthborn]

That's right. I'm Shepard— I've heard a little bit about you from Garrus.

[She's sure that'll stick out in Nadine's memory, if nothing else. Say one thing about Garrus Vakarian: he's distinctive.]

Seems like you do good work.

[nadine_he_loves]

I just have to make sure I can manage producing it all on my own, with my equipment. I had to sign a thing with the academy that I can't sell anything made with their equipment and supplies.

But I guess I could just sell IT on it's own as a 'medicinal herbal blend'...

[princessvegas]

You just need to sell enough to buy more packaging. I mean, I already figured out how to turn it to butter with magic.

Plus, I can make little candies that are SUPER cute. I gave some to one person as a Christmas present.

[doubledead]

I haven't been sleeping well since the winter holidays passed. I will try your insomnia potion.

[nadine_he_loves]

Which means I need a bigger gardening space. I know I have it grown magically, but I save the seeds so I can do it the old fashioned way, too. Which hopefully should cover demand...

And then there's storage and assembly and all of that...I don't have enough room in my office for that.

Do you think Jaskier would buy me the building? Is that too much to ask?

[nadine_he_loves]

Are you sure you want to start out with the strongest?

I'm honestly not sure, but that's something I'd like to know.

[nadine_he_loves]

Okay, great.

Where are you located?

[nadine_he_loves]

Yeah, Garrus has told me about you.

Thank you, I'm trying.

Drop by Salves & Stitches any time and I'll get you set up.

[stations]

I'm very, very sure. Like, beyond positive.

Sign me up for the other ones too, I guess, and I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm in Thorne, but I come to Nocwich every time they open it, so. I can meet you there.

[nadine_he_loves]

Okay, I'll give you the strong stuff.

Thanks. Perfect, I can meet you in Nocwich the next weekend we can go.

[doubledead]

I am in Solvunn, primary settlement.

I should have signed my name. Jack Skellington.

[stations]

Cool
Thank you

[nadine_he_loves]

I'll be the lady with the white hair and horns.

I'm pretty hard to miss.

[princessvegas]

Well, it's more like an investment, right? We can cut him in on profits.

But if you don't wanna share, I get that too. I will still help you fuck him so hard that he'll buy you anything you can think up.

[stations]

I'll be the skinny, tired looking guy with the fake leg that goes by Jack

[nadine_he_loves]

Of course I'm fine with sharing, it's not like I could do this without him. He deserves some of the profit.

Now that's just not fair to Jaskier, he wouldn't stand a chance.

[nadine_he_loves]

Oh, Jack, hi.

Do things like this work on you? I'm sorry, I just am not experienced with your physiology.

[itookashot]

I am excited to be a test subject and be extremely high for you, Nadine.

[princessvegas]

I mean, that's what I thought, but there's still always the option.

Duh. That's why it works.
