To All

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.

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.

[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?

[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.

[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.

[princessvegas]

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

Duh. That's why it works.

[nadine_he_loves]

No, I'm not going to cut my boyfriend out of our budding drug empire.

I'm sure it's very effective.

[princessvegas]

You'll never be the next Pablo Escobar or El Chapo with that attitude.

[nadine_he_loves]

Probably not, but it means YOU don't get cut out either.

I am definitely going to need your help with this.

[princessvegas]

Oh don't act like you could stab my back faster than I can stab yours. We both know I'd put you in the ground, angel. [ This is a joke. ]

Well, let's start with talking to Jaskier and looking at places. Maybe if we can find somewhere big enough, we can live in part of it.

[nadine_he_loves]

Before I could even blink.

You know, I wouldn't mind having more living space.

[princessvegas]

Just depends on what we can find, but yeah, over the past month or two, I've been wondering if maybe it would be best to find somewhere bigger. Something a little more permanent. But the most important thing is staying close to everyone.

[nadine_he_loves]

It is.

But I sometimes think the same thing. This is home now, we...should have a home.

[princessvegas]

Exactly. I'll come talk to you for real.
