They do their best to adjust to the new state-of-the-art.

There's eventually a knock at her door, after a good eight hours.

Permalink

Yeah she's awake now. "What's going- Oh. Who is it?"

Permalink

"Moses, the head doctor. We spoke before. May I come in?" 

Permalink

"Just a sec."

There is some thumping and scraping as she un-blocks the door. She uses a bit of magic on her uniform to clean it. Then she opens the door. "You hear about the trading idea?"

Permalink

"It sounds promising. If I call in a few favors, I can get the hospital united behind it." 

Permalink

"Right. The gaeses will help? My prospective heal-ee thing ready?"

Permalink

"The most meaningful tests would be one each of: someone who has undergone the full course of treatment and someone new. The first category mostly includes the doctors and guards, so it seems more ethical to start with us."

Permalink

"But I thought you couldn't detect it once it's trapped?"

Permalink

"We can't, no. It still seems worth trying on the category least likely to explode and most informed."

Permalink

"Alright then. Have a volunteer lined up?"

Permalink

"Of course. I'll send her here. Shouldn't be long. Thank you for your time."

He makes his exit.

She can wait. Do some morning stretches until this person comes by.

Permalink

It's about ten minutes before there's a knock at the door.

Permalink

"Hello, come in."

Permalink

She comes in.

"Moses told me you wanted to see someone?"

Permalink

"Moses? ...Well, I am very lost, but I have magic. One of those magics is healing magic. And it might be able to burn out the disease. So he said he would find a volunteer who had already done the treatment, to start testing how the magic might work with the fungus."

Permalink

"Of course. I just finished the staff training recently, and we both agreed if anyone is a good indicator, besides someone still under treatment, it would be me."

Permalink

"So should I just go ahead and give you some heal, see if it does anything?"

Permalink

"Not here. We should go somewhere more isolated. The lowest level of this building was seased off after one our patients became terminal. That might be the best place to do this."

Permalink

"I have the capacity for large amounts of fire if necessary. Sterilization. But if you insist."

Permalink

"No, I suppose that should be enough. No need to make the trip. Try it, then."

Permalink

Gren reaches out and grabs her hand, and pushes wellness.

Nothing seems to happen besides some aches and pains going away.

Permalink

"It feels like you covered pain, but nothing beyond that." 

Permalink

"And the feedback I got didn't say anything's off about you except those aches and pains - so completed treatment doesn't seem to register as 'harm' to it."
