I mean, not necessarily a good plan? If it's causing you actual internal damage then at least if you're conscious you'll notice to object - though that only works if you do object -

...this is true. I mean, like, slayer healing and songs combined, we might be OK even if it is, it actually doesn't hurt anymore, but - if we do something stupid and I end up infertile, assuming I'm not already, then the whole thing is shot.

I wish we had - literally anyone whose understanding of medicine included anything relevant.

Permalink

If it doesn't hurt anymore I think probably nothing horrible happened. But yeah, I'd be much much much happier if we had any idea what even went wrong. We could have a doctor look, if you want. They'd be an Elf doctor but they still might be able to be helpful somehow.

Yeah, what the hell. Sure. Anything they can tell us'll be good to know.

Permalink

I'll send someone.

Permalink

OK.

Wishbone, you don't have a medical degree hiding in your back pocket or anything, yeah?

Permalink

Uh. I had a human who was a doctor once and told me a lot of stuff. In 1711. Most of it was very wrong.

Permalink

Hard pass on the bloodletting, yeah.

Permalink

The Elf doctor arrives a bit later and wants Karen to bounce her lots of details of Karen's experience of the areas that were painful.

Permalink

Karen can attempt to do this. Mostly just the sensation that something was in a space that was way way too small for it and which possibly didn't think it should really even have been a space at all, actually, very rude of something to go and exist inside it. Also resulting agony. She doesn't use the word 'agony' very often but she feels like it is not really an exaggeration here.

The doctor wants to know if she and her husband have tried toys or fingers or anything.

Permalink

(Hahahaha.)

"Not yet. I guess that would be, uh, sensible."

Permalink

"I think it might be informative, and help you figure out what you're comfortable with. I also might recommend taking a few years off, just to make the situation less pressured."

Permalink

(Hahahahaha.)

"Yeah, maybe."

Permalink

"Do you know songs for anxiety, or songs for intimacy? Either of those might also be helpful."

Permalink

" - uh. I don't really know how to do the - magical song thing. If humans even can."

Permalink

"Ah, okay. You just have to sing them but I don't know whether it does work for humans."

Permalink

"Oh. Maybe someone could teach me some and I could test it, then."

Permalink

"I can arrange someone to tutor you if you'd like to try it."

Permalink

"OK. That sounds good. Maybe tomorrow. Or - whenever they have time."

Permalink

"All right. Is there anything else you want me to look at?"

Permalink

"Nah. I'm good. Thank you."

 

 

All right, seriously tempted to spend the rest of the day sulking, but I don't know whether this will actually improve anything.

Permalink

I mean, I'd say you've earned it.

Permalink

I just - I have mostly never wanted to complain about the unfairness of my life before. And then when I feel tempted to I go and find, like, mummy girl. But - it hurts now. And I feel like there should be a way to turn the hurting off, but I don't know how.

Permalink

Well, there's mind-control, if you want that.
