Is the person that she met around, that she can see?  If not she checks the signage for whoever looks most able to verify her account.

Permalink

The person that she met is not milling about visibly. There is a sign pointing to HOUSE OF TRUTH WEBSITE CONSIDERATIONS.

Permalink

Cool, she'll get in line there!  And awkwardly pull up her logged-in account while she waits.

Permalink

The line isn't very long; the first Committed she opens up can see that she is herself with a bit of light magic to verify it and then put a badge on her account which leads to a statement that a person meeting her description and able to perform the described light magic demonstrated access to this account.

Permalink

She thanks them and heads to the hospital!  Is the location of the lab obvious?

Permalink

Nope, usually people who don't work at the hospital don't go there, but she can be met in short order by a short orderly and taken there.

Permalink

And do they have a hot thing and an infected nonhuman for her?

Permalink

They have petri dishes and test tubes! She should not touch anything without permission in here! The autoclave is over there!

Permalink

She'll triple-check before doing any magic to anything and not touch things she's not doing magic to!  (Except this chair, can she touch this chair?)

She ends up frying all the cells in the first petri dish; hopefully they have a lot of those for her?

Permalink

She can sit in the chair.

They have lots of petri dishes.

Permalink

Oh good!  She takes way longer on the next one, well over an hour, but still ends up heating everything.  The third she manages some unevenness with but she can't get the virus parts quite hot enough and she ends up chilling the healthy cells.  The fourth one she gets, (eeeee!) after another hour, and then she wants food and a larger sample to work with.

Permalink

She should not eat in the lab but when she is done eating in the commissary she can come back and they can give her more dishes.

Permalink

Fine by her!  She deviruses larger and larger groups of cells faster and faster - with only occasional fumbles, less and less frequently - and eventually asks if they have any animals she could work on.

Permalink

Not here but they can direct her to a vet down the street?

Permalink

Sure!  Hello the vet can she try and cure one of your animals, she's pretty sure she won't kill them but like not completely??  - Also she's the magic person here's her light.

Permalink

"Uh - most of the animals we have here are client animals - but there's one we were going to put down, you can try that one? I can't pay you much for it though even if it works."

Permalink

Nod; she'll take a look.

Permalink

Here is an elderly dying dog, waiting for his human to be available to come in and be with him as he dies.

Permalink

Well, if he has any viruses in him she'll try to get rid of those.

Permalink

He has viruses in him, yep!

Permalink

If uninterrupted for about an hour and a half she can burn all the virus without also burning the dog.

Permalink

She can have her hour and a half!

Permalink

Well that's good.  Anything else she can do here?  Killing all the virus is definitely not going to undying this dog on its own.

Permalink

The dog is asleep at this point, but she can maybe clear up some lung gunk and accumulated aging damage if she wants to invest the time.

Permalink

Most of the aging damage is stuff she can probably safely practice on humans but sure, she'll try disappearing some lung gunk.

 

By twenty minutes in she's pretty sure she's killed it; she's keeping it alive with magic - for now - but she has to spend more and more time holding it that way with brute force, and eventually she doesn't have any spare with which to try and improve things.  After another half hour the pattern she would need to play surpasses her current ability, and it dies.

She heads back out to the vet with the news.
