Not related but there are some structural reminiscences.

Do the physical locations match the structural reminisces at all? 

Yes they do.

"There are some similarities to the structures of languages from similar regions in our worlds. I wonder if there are similarities in our histories as well."

"There could be. I remember only a very scattershot view of history."

"Do you know of major empires and such from your past?"

"Yeah."

The broadest strokes rhyme - the Mediterranean is just geographically a good place to get a thriving civilization underway - but the details don't match.

"I suppose this has implications as to the degree history is dictated by chance rather than environment."

"Probably but I'd want more than two examples - and better researched examples - before I drew any strong conclusions."

"Yes that does seem prudent."

Annie spins the globe, skimming her fingers over its mountains. Remembers more tidbits about colonization of the Potato Continent.

"We're much earlier in the process of colonization it would seem."

"Yeah. ...it would be nice if it didn't involve giving all the locals heinous diseases."

"Yes, I absolutely agree. I think it is too late to stop much of that unfortunately, but if we tell people about hand washing that can at least help? Though it might be hard to get anyone to do so consistently in the colonies."

"Not just handwashing but also quarantine and boiling water and stuff."

"Quarantine I expect they're already aware of - but yes boiling as well. And maybe we can figure out antiobiotics or how to improve variolation given that both are possible."

Nod nod.

"I wonder if the best way to convince people to try these things might be to combine it with your healing abilities somehow, should they prove usable without severe drawbacks - if you were a famous healer than people would be liable to take your other medical knowledge more seriously."

"...well, that doesn't make a lot of sense but I guess I can buy it as a way public opinion might work."

"I'd prefer it if publishing the information in an academic forum were doable, but aside from needing to find a male proxy to be taken seriously I expect that to mostly just provoke debate among the select few who read it. Converserly, if you are known as a empowered healer who treats commoners - of which there are very few - I expect anything you say to be taken seriously by many more people, who can then abide by your reccomendations at home and demand it of their doctors."

"That makes sense. How soon do you expect me to be able to test out the powers to see if the healing one has a tolerable drawback?"

"I intend to send out on of grandfather's courtier tommorow to inquire at the local inns - I'll offer them the pin money I've saved up but if they request more I shall go to my grandfather with the request. If I still have trouble finding a participant I may have them ask at the debtor's prison and hospital. It is possible that that should be my first recourse given that they have greater need of the money or less fear of the consequences respectively, but I still find myself hesitant to do so..."

"If there's anyone with an injury they're dying of surely they'd be the best choice?"

"I don't expect it is very common for York's hospitals to recieve patient with injuries so severe the patient will die in the ordinary course of events soon after receiving it - medical care for those sorts of injuries would be done at the scene of the accident or nearby, I believe. It's possible we can change that by advertising your prescence but that is a complicated endeavor best left till we have established the particulars of your powers..."

"Oh apologies I think I may be wrong - surgery is often fatal and performed at hospitals. Though convincing a doctor to allow a woman to attend would be... difficult."

"...well, inconveniently I can't operate remotely."
