Right. They end up in short order deciding to offer the service as cheaply as possible (barely anything over expenses), as a religious observance- but not free, being paid for serving the dead is an observance too, you see. (A lot of their religion revolves around money and debts.) Vanda Nossëo can set up the hospital and teleporter infrastructure faster than them, probably?

Yup, here's a resurrection facility for 'em and now this demon has it on her schedule.

They're vaguely annoyed about being assumed to be greedy monopolists but these misunderstandings are bound to happen.

People from Spirit start getting resurrected!

-How much longer is in this magic rock course? Samara Glory looks it up just a few hours later.

Permalink

It's three weeks total! They will be spending some of it shadowing various magic rocks at work.

...Ah. Well, her dramatic return as the first person who can resurrect people is out of the question now. That's... Unsatisfying. Not that she can exactly go demand that people stay dead so she can be a drama queen. She'll just have to lean into the magic rock stuff, which is still extremely aesthetic.

(If much mindreading is going on it might have become clear to the class runners now that Samara has some sort of undiagnosed attention-type issue, just from how frequently she gets distracted in class, notices she did that, and then feels bad for the rest of the lecture. A potential spiral hazard if nothing else.)

She gets an email from her mindreader that her thought patterns are similar to people who are later diagnosed with this or that or the other thing and she might want to seek treatment for that or maybe therapy for not being guilty about it at least.

Are you one I could ask some related-thereto-the-above questions of, or else do you have a recommendation for same?

Sorry, I'm not a therapist myself! This website claims to be good at therapist matchmaking but I can't vouch, I just found it randomly.

Thank you for the warning or whatever you would call it then.

She's really wondering what 'therapy' actually is, because it sounds like some of the more annoying acquaintances who thought she just needed "a bit of discipline" to become more reliable, instead of lovely Tess ready to hug her and make sure she's eaten and hasn't missed a meeting, who she DOESN'T EVEN MISS PROPERLY AND IS DOING A DISSERVICE BY BEING VAGUELY ANNOYED INSTEAD OF- OKAY this is a bad thought and she should distract herself by clicking random speedpaints and COOL SCIENCE FACTS on the video thing for like twenty seconds each.

...What does the This website have to say?

Permalink

This website is called Papaya and it wants her demographic information especially her travel radius and an idea of what she is looking for in a mental healthcare practitioner such as price range and specialty. If she would like to take this personality test it will try to find her ones that have been positively reviewed by similar people.

Permalink

She is very new around here. Is that a demographic information option. She can take bus rides and knows the planet's name. She apparently has this that and the other thing and is frequently annoyed by how much she forgets to do things and gets distracted in the middle of important things. She has sketch money which probably limits her to the low end? Especially if she wants to keep most of it for other stuff?

(She uses the search bar to search for "therapy charity new contact world low tech")

Permalink

This recommends some potentially useful Papaya search parameters and also a different website called Two Top which has volunteers who will chat about your problems with you.

Permalink

She likes the sound of 'volunteer'. It sounds free. She'll try it, and if unsatisfied go back to trying to figure out the confusing thing that is Papaya.

Permalink

Two Top is for text chat unless you pay for premium, so her typing speed may become a bottleneck, and it wants to know her preferred language and whether she has Allspeak, but she can find a volunteer very quickly if she wants!

Permalink

Allspeak yes, the one language she speaks is called Iastol.

Permalink
Nobody in the system on Two Top speaks Iastol, alas, so they will get her someone who also has Allspeak.

Hi! I'm Raspberry. What do you want me to call you?
Permalink

Her typing speed is slow but not abysmal.

Hi

I don't know how all this works

The internet

Vanda Nosseo

Mir

here a few days and leaped headfirst into magic rock class because !!!!!!!!!ewtfvgertwerfcwe

But I don't know who to talk to sometimes when I have a new question for the pile

Permalink
That sounds rough! I remember being really overwhelmed when my world pealed too.
Permalink

Fanciest thing we had was stained glass and compasses

Computers were story things

I am having fun but it can go from good overwhelming to bad overwhelming fall quick

Permalink
Would it help to have more of a schedule/routine?
Permalink

I'm bad at schedule

I go to all the classes I have because I set alarms for all of them

My girlfriend kept me on schedule but I do not know where she is

She wasn't on the list of who paid to resurrect me

I'm slightly famous back home so they got me anyway

But it went wrong. We're 'nonreductionist' apparently.

But that is a whole mess

Tell me if I say too much? I'm venting a bit.

Permalink
We're nonreductionist too, it's rough

This whole place is for venting! Though if having me listen to you isn't helping you might prefer getting a blog ;)
Permalink

I think it's helping

A call might be better but I barely know how the money works and it won't let you

Do you know how therapy works?

Someone suggested it for my distraction but

Suspicious

Permalink
Therapy's kind of a bunch of different things. Some of them just give advice, some of them give you medicine for your brain, there's ones who try to help people by doing art with them or teaching them to meditate or whatever. Distraction is usually a medicine one.
