"Yes, but I can make one that runs off a portable little quantity of electricity that'll recharge off my house's solar grid."

She shrugs. "I'm still not sure where you'd put one."

"My place it is. Off we go."

Flap flap. Cam's house. Cam's television. He gestures at it and it turns on and he gestures at it some more and it starts playing.

"I have movies I like more than this but I think their settings would be very opaque. This one should at least be sort of understandable. There is a book to match if you like it."

It is The Princess Bride. Cam flops on his couch and materializes garlic butter popcorn.

Sable perches next to him and investigates the popcorn.

"Popcorn," he explains. "Traditional movie-watching food."

Permalink

"Tasty."

"Mm-hm."

Movie ensues.

Sable enjoys the movie!

She is particularly enchanted by the iocane powder exchange, and even more so by Westley's 'to the pain' monologue.

During the film Cam also makes himself a soda, although he does not offer Sable any as it would bite her.

When it's over: "What'd'ja think?"

"I liked it a lot! Westley's amazing." She pauses, then adds, "Oh, things aren't purple anymore, I guess that happened while I was distracted by the movie."

Permalink

"Well, that's good, I wouldn't want to have permanently purpled you. Do you want to try something else?"

Permalink

"The first try wasn't exactly encouraging..."

Permalink

"Well, no, but there are lots of kinds of painkillers with lots of different mechanisms of action and I'd be surprised if you were bizarrely allergic to all of them. I can step the trial doses down even farther if you like."

Permalink

"It's not just that it made everything purple, it's that it made everything purple and it didn't work. Maybe I'll try another one later."

Permalink

"Sure. I guess if you did not find your chronic pain condition pretty manageable you'd be in worse shape. Sorry if I'm overeager on account of hardly ever getting to medical-demon."

Permalink

Sable giggles. "Is this a great lack in your life?"

Permalink

"Well, people usually use angels for medical stuff, so I occasionally feel like my course of study was a waste. I've gotten much better use out of the engineering."

Permalink

"Groundwork can do healing too. My father has been trying to get Lakewalkers and farmers working together on things since before I was born, and medicine is one of the big ones. None of the makers he talked to ever had a clue what to do about me."

Permalink

"Do the two groups usually not get along well enough to collaborate on things?"

Permalink

"'Just barely not trying to kill each other' was the state they were in when he started, and it hasn't gotten that much better overall, even though Tripoint in particular is... well, was pretty good. Last I saw it."

Permalink

"That's a pity."

Permalink

"Yeah."
