The nurse is looking pretty subdued this morning, but lets her in with a wan smile. "It's a fine time. I wanted to do some word-spreading anyway - uh, I got lucky with the void and I have a pretty big stash of shelf-stable nutrition supplements, I'm interested in trading them to artificers or alchemists who can help me replicate some of my standard ICU equipment in here. What do you need, though?" 

"Ooh, nutrition supplements, I'll let people know. Uh, I want birth control - it's not for me, I'm gay, I want to do experiments with it. On agglos, if you've seen those? I want lots of kinds."

"I'll see what I can do! I might've used up all my good points with the void, and I think it does better when I'm being the right amount of specific? Uh, do you want hormonal, mainly, or like, condoms? ....I have no idea what putting a condom on an agglo would do." 

"Some of everything! I'm not going to administer them very exactly; agglos pick things up, especially things imbued with mana or intent, so I'll just give them the things and see if there are fewer grubs in that tank than in the control group tank. It would work symbolically if at all. I assume you know about more different kinds of birth control than I do, but like, pills and condoms and IUDs and those ring things and an implant?"

"Okay! I'll give it a try." 

She's going to spend several minutes patting the void and extolling its virtues first, though. At this point that's become a superstition on the level of 'never ever say out loud that the hospital is quiet tonight.' 

"I can come back later if this is going to take a while? I have Econ in a few."

"Uh, I might as well see what I can get now? And then try again later, I guess, if I don't get much." 

And she's going to very politely ask the void for as many birth control supplies as it can manage, ideally including all of these varieties as listed. 

It gives her a pile of stuff! 

"....Okay, I think these are birth control pills? Brand name is 'Enovid' which I've never heard of and they expired in, uh. Apparently in 1965? And I have no idea what these ones are, they're labelled in....Russian? I think they're some kind of implant? And here is exactly one copper IUD that, uh, looks...used...? I guess at least it's clean?" It's not even in any kind of packaging, and now it's just on the floor looking slightly bent. 

"The agglos are not going to care," Bella assures her, scooping everything into the front pocket of her backpack.

"Good, uh, luck? I...have to admit I wouldn't expect doing that to work, but I'm not the wizard here." 

"It probably won't but I'm going to try a bunch of things in parallel. I might come back later for anything poisonous I think of with a medical application."

"Oh! If you want poisonous stuff, the void gave me so much random crap yesterday! I have some extremely expired rocuronium, uh, that paralyzes people? And I have extremely concentrated potassium in a vial for some fucking reason, I wanted IV fluids not something that's lethal to inject!" 

"Huh! Sure, I'll take those, if you don't want them."

"...Sorry, I shouldn't badmouth the void, it was trying really hard and then it apologized by giving me eight hundred packages of nutrition supplement paste. I...guess I might ever want potassium but I've already got a couple of the 10mmol bags." 

She was eventually even able to coax some epinephrine out of the void, though at that point it was pretty clear that it wouldn't save Sophie's life, so she kept it in reserve - who knows when she might end up treating a kid with traumatic injuries or something that are fixable with magic if she can get them stabilized long enough to obtain said magic. 

"My thing is metamagic, if I wind up with a Void-buttering-up spell I will swing by."

"Awww, thanks! - Oh, by the way, I don't know if you know the African kid who's really concerningly skinny? If you see him, can you tell him I'll give him nutrition paste in exchange for doing a really thorough check for mals on all my stock in the mornings? I've got kind of an enormous pile now and it's hard to keep it all where nothing can hide in it." 

"I have met him. He was publicly announced to have been cleared of murder mere moments ago. If I wind up having a class with him I will tell him." She writes it down.

"- Wait, he was what? Who did they think he murdered?" 

"...Sophie. Was that not - I guess they didn't mention his name, yesterday?"

"They didn't! I thought they were talking about– crap, sorry, nevermind. Medical confidentiality." 

"I appreciate the philosophy of medical confidentiality in the outside world where there are people other than high schoolers and one nurse to act as a police force but if you know who has been running around murdering my classmates it would actually be very good of you to tell a senior. Maleficers snowball, every death makes them harder to stop."

"I don't have any specific reason to think he's murdering anyone! I - on reflection I don't think he could possibly even know Sophie? He only speaks Mandarin. I...guess I should probably tell someone? - Wen Qing must've already, though, she was the one who, uh, said she thought he'd done maleficing before - but I think people can have that aura without having done any murders, if they used animals for it...?" 

"They can, yes -" Bella looks anxiously at her watch. "Uh, maybe talk to whoever Wen Qing is about it - and he might not have done for Sophie, she could have just had the flu, but three other people are dead already and that's not normal this early."

"....Oh my god." Marian shudders. "I - sorry - I'd better let you get to class on time." In case being late for class here results in MONSTERS EATING YOU, which seems extremely on brand for the death school. "Yeah. I'll ask her. She's a Shanghai student who's my apprentice."
