How efficacious is this at closing the injury?

Permalink

It congeals her blood sufficiently to turn it into a powder and leaves only a raised line where the actual cut was.  Her tattoos are kind of fucked up now, though; an area around the cut has them jittering and flickering all over the place instead of displaying a smooth animation.

Permalink

Occu...pational...hazard?? She seems fine and her self-harm is between her and somebody who likes her more than Cam does probably.

They're above the mad anthropology zone. Cam zooms in. What can he see from up here?

Permalink

Not much, in the night.  But there are a few clusters of small fires here and there, surrounding collections of reed huts.  Seems like they have a bit of farming, too.

Permalink

Agricultural stone age! What're they growing?

Permalink

Looks like maybe some root vegetables?  Hard to say.  But something moves while he's peering at that, and then once he knows to look for it it's easy to spot that each camp has a few guards watching its perimeter.

Permalink

What've they got in the way of clothes/shoes/dentistry/scars?

Permalink

Clothes: rough cloth and leather, not very advanced sewing techniques on display.  Shoes: same.  Dentistry: nope.  Scars: lots.

Permalink

Cloth! Neat! And they're surviving serious injuries repeatedly! He kind of thought it was gonna be worse than that. He busies himself making a little map of the place. How long till dawn?

Permalink

Like seven hours.

Permalink

That is such a long time uuuuugh okay he's gonna brush up on recovery from malnutrition and also pirate the mad anthropology and while he's doing that remember to ask, "You kids want dinner?"

Permalink

"I'd take something.  What's, uh, happening?"

Permalink

"Any requests? I'm spying on the mad anthropology setup both visually and by yanking all their publications."

Permalink

"You can do that and were still going to copy my brain instead of taking my medical records?"

Permalink

"...Sushi, please."

Permalink

Sushi platter! "Do let me know if my timeline's sushi lacks your favorite elements. I wouldn't necessarily assume your medical records were complete and accurate? Also I don't know how to find them - topic is harder than author and I'm getting really circuitous to find the mad anthropologists though once I have the first few I'll be following citations. Furthermore medical records might be encrypted, I don't have an automatic way around that."

Permalink

"All of Dr. Cable's records of me will be accurate, if you can get them."

Permalink

He sighs and clones this Dr. Cable character's records and sees if they are encrypted.

Permalink

Well, they want her eyescan.

Permalink

"Yeah it's locked up. I could get into this but it would be very annoying and not a skill I have a lot of experience with, plus it seems like it might involve conjuring an eyeball and I have little idea what spooks you."

Permalink

"Eyeballs aren't people."  She starts pacing, as much as there's room for.  "...Do you need a last name?"

Permalink

"...I already have one? I don't know what you mean. I do not, generally, derive as much information from your statements as you would mean me to have if you had any cooperative conversational goals I'm familiar with."

Permalink

"To find things from somebody."

Permalink

"It's complicated. I can recommend you a seven hundred page book about the details of how demonic forensics work if you like but it seems faster, for any given specific case, for you to simply figure out what you want me to do, why I might be convinced to do it, and what support you can offer toward that end."

Permalink

"...Can I have the book?" asks Zane around a mouthful of sushi.
