To All

[nadine_he_loves]

I've never done a public message like this before, so I hope I'm doing it right.

My name is Nadine Cross, some of you know me already. I've recently come to the Free Cities and set up in Cadens. I'm a practicing herbologist, an amateur healer, and a student at the Cadens Academy of Medicine. And I'm available to offer patching up, potions, and other medical assistance to any of us in the Free Cities.

I'm not a doctor, I'm still learning and I have a LOT to learn, but I can handle things like bleeding wounds and burns and minor broken bones. I don't charge since I need the practice anyway, and I figure there's plenty of reasons that people like us would prefer not to have to go to a local -from discretion to expense.

But I hope you don't need my services too much.

Thank you.

Not a doctor?
It sounds like you might as well be one.

[Shuten-Douji here is having fun with this world's version of networking and being able to see all sorts of messages appearing within her vision, mostly on the walls of the castle. It has been quite amusing; and hey, might as well test it out.]

Are you very experienced in tending to the injured?

[nadine_he_loves]

More like I'm learning how to be one. If this means anything to you, I'm like a first year medical student in her first semester.

I wouldn't say VERY experienced, but I do have experience. I've patched a few nasty wounds. And all of my patients have survived.

[sakaya]

So that makes you rather green.
How cute!
I'm sure you'll find more challenging work as time moves forward here.
Though I suppose it may be better if there were fewer injured and sick people?
Quite the conundrum!

[nadine_he_loves]

I guess it does.

I'd prefer if people weren't getting hurt, but at least if they are, I can do something to help. And why not? New world, new life, new career.

[sakaya]

Optimism can only get you so far.
But you know, I don't hate that.

[And it's true; Shuten is a fun-loving and merry, not dour, and someone who puts others down at a moment's notice, oddly enough.

She's a monster, not a party-pooper. Big difference there.]

Sounds like you work with more traditional methods and materials, however.
No experience with the more magically inclined I take it?

[nadine_he_loves]

In my experience, it doesn't get you that far at all. But it's better than the alternative.

And I do. I practice academic magic, but a lot of the healing stuff is beyond my capabilities for now. And I'm not sure how much magic the academy teaches. But someday...

[sakaya]

Aiming for something greater then?
You can only go up from here.
A lot of nasty monsters out there as well as nasty folks from each faction.
You'll become an expert in patching up in no time, magic or not.

[nadine_he_loves]

I guess. I was a teacher back in the world I came from, but it's not really easy to be a teacher in a world you don't know that much about.

I have a suspicion you're very right about that.

[sakaya]

Ah, well.
I like getting along with others believe it or not

[Her idea of getting along is a bit twisted, but well. We're all lucky with what we get from Shuten.]

I do hope to get along with you as well.
You sound quite sweet what, with offering your skills like that.

[nadine_he_loves]

I'm just trying to be useful.

Are you here in the Free Cities?

[sakaya]

Aren't we all?
I'm just seeing if any of these places know what real fun is.

As for me, I'm in Thorne! If they ever make travel a bit more accessible you'll find me out and about the castle.

[nadine_he_loves]

I guess it depends on your definition of 'real fun'.

I used to be in Thorne. I avoid it these days.

[sakaya]

Oh?
Had a bad experience, dear?
Do tell.

[For Shuten, she likes space, grandness, and lavishness and Thorne offers that all to her for free and more. The actual politics though? Well, apathy would probably best describe it since she's basically mooching, let's be real.]
