Video: Bloody murders everywhere!

[fonmaster]

[Ion wants to go out and check on people, but he's quite honestly afraid of leaving the penthouse again. Instead he makes a general video, hoping that the people he wants to see will respond - or anyone, really. It's creepy with all this fog around!]

Is everyone doing alright? I am not particularly skilled, but I can offer my assistance as a healer if anyone needs it...

[If they survive an encounter with whatever killed the nurse, that is.]

Ah, I mean, since it is likely not a good idea to be going to the clinic proper right now. I know Doctor Muraki is taking patients in his apartment. I can't do anything about illnesses, but I can heal flesh wounds if that would help lighten the load.

[Even as he's offering to help, he pretty much just looks like the scared two year old that he is.]

[Yes, he really does. Ky considers for a moment, and then he opens up the video channel.]

It's kind of you to offer.

[He offers the kind of reassuring smile that comes from people who think the only way out of pain is to focus on duty.]

What kind of healing abilities do you have?

Video

[fonmaster]

[Ion perks up a bit now that someone's speaking with him.]

They would be considered magical here in Vatheon. It's really just utilization of the Seventh Fonon to encourage tissues to knit back together, but it artes do look a great deal like magic, I suppose.

[Ky notices the perking up, so at least he's not hurting.]

Ah. So do you simply accelerate normal healing or can you prevent there from being a scar where there otherwise would be?

Video

[fonmaster]

It is an acceleration. I'm afraid I can't prevent scarring, I am not that skilled.

[It appears that Ion finds this fact very disappointing.]

Video

[closedcircuit]

[Ky nods.]

Perhaps with time and practice.

Either way, you're still doing a very important service now.

[Hnn...]

As noble as it is for you to offer help right now, don't go straining yourself, Fon Master. We wouldn't want you to fall ill or anything, you know.

[Guy remembers seeing your reaction when using your fonic artes too much - he has every reason to be concerned, even if you never did give them a proper explanation.

Well. Not the Ion that he's used to, anyways..]

Video - Private

[fonmaster]

[He takes a moment to apply the same filter, then smiles gently at Guy.]

Thank you for your concern, Guy. I really feel much better here in Vatheon, though. The coral helps a lot. Besides, I would like to help catch this killer, even if it's indirectly.

[He knows most of those nurses personally, after all.]

Video - Private

[relinquishing]

[He simply gives a nod in return, although his expression remains somber. He can't help but be uncomfortable with the fact that so many rely on the coral for care, even though none of them are quite sure what touching that coral is doing to them in return...

But he pushes that aside for now. He didn't need to lecture the Fon Master on his behavior - that would be hardly respectable of him. Instead, his gaze softens as he asks a more personal question.]

I can't say I've seen much of you, with everything that's been happening... although I do think I spotted you for a minute, with Jade. Back when this mess first started. [And you didn't look very hearty then, either. Hmn.]

You looked busy at the time, so I didn't speak up. But... have you been doing alright?

Video - Private

[fonmaster]

I...

[Found out that Luke died, lives with a sociopath, and spends most of his time looking after his formerly suicidal best friend?]

...this place can be trying at times. I believe I knew the nurse that was found in the plaza. But physically, yes, I am alright. Are you doing well?

Video - Private

[relinquishing]

I'm managing well enough, yeah. [Outside the... undesirable reactions he'd had to the murder in the plaza. He's not about to talk about those right now.]

But Ion, I wasn't talking about how you were doing physically. I think you know that.

[He'd heard that hitch in his voice. There was something else going on - something troubling him more than the nurse, something that the hesitancy had given away more than his actual words about the murder.]

[marionettetamer]

Ion where are you?! Don't do anything by yourself until I get to you. It's dangerous outside!

[ Anise sounded worried as she spoke through the device. She couldn't allow anything to happen Ion. There would be only failure for her. Shew ill fulfill her job as his guardian and she won't allow herslef to let him get hurt or killed a second time. ]

video

[fonmaster]

Anise...

[He smiles at the feed softly.]

I am in the penthouse of the Larmline apartments if you would like to visit.

video

[marionettetamer]

We're going to stick together until this ordeal is over. I can't have you getting hurt on me since all this stuff is happening.

I'll be there in five minutes tops.

video

[fonmaster]

Alright. I'll be here.

[He moves to turn the feed off, then gets up to locate some snacks. It wouldn't do to be a bad host!]

video

[marionettetamer]

Don't move an inch!

[ Off she goes to find him now and how can he be thinking about snacks when there's a dangerous threat out and about!?

Anise wouldn't be too happy with that but it would be saved for later. She had to get to him soon to protect him. ]

[withoutasign]

[Have a gentle, calming troll all up in your video feed, bro.]

That is very kind of you to offer, Ion. It's good that everyone is trying to pull together and work through this.

[fonmaster]

Signless...

[Ion tries to calm himself down, then shifts his weight as he looks at the SFC uncomfortably.]

Would it be alright if I came downstairs and stayed with Sola tonight? I don't want to impose, but I am worried about him.

[withoutasign]

Of course. You know that you're always welcome here. Don't feel like you have to ask before coming to visit.

Video -> Action

[fonmaster]

Thank you. I'll be right down.

[He turns off the feed, gathering up his pajamas and a couple other things before going to knock on Signless's door. A night with that silly Vatheon Shore show playing in the background (and with the two adult trolls watching it) while he and Sola sleep sounds exactly like what Ion wants.]

Action

[withoutasign]

[Ion and Sola could watch it with them! They'll make a big cuddlely pile on the couch, it'll be great!]

[Ion barely has time to knock before the door swings open and Signless is there, smiling gently and trying to envelop him in a hug.]

It's good of you to come, Ion. I know Sola likes it when you're here.

video

[demonicbookworm]

I'm pretty sure that everyone _{[except that one person.]} is okay, but thank you. I'm sure everyone will appreciate your offer.

_{[he sighs a little.]}

...That makes me wish I could use healing artes.

video

[fonmaster]

You might be able to. Has anyone ever tried to teach you?

[Sure, it's a rare ability, but that won't stop Ion from attempting to help him anyway!]

video

[demonicbookworm]

No, but I doubt I'll be able to learn it.

_{[the magic he can use is a rather destructive one.]}

video

[fonmaster]

You sound fairly certain. Are healing artes uncommon on your world?

video

[demonicbookworm]

Oh, it's not that they're uncommon... Um, actually I should say that being able to use any kind of artes is a... rare ability in my world.
