Uh, he has no idea, that's extremely weird! 

- one of the other patients coming in on foot will offer that she overheard some of the nurses talking and someone was claiming that the woman is a...character from a Dungeons and Dragons game...? (She was kind of assuming this was, like, a reality TV show, but randomly being in a reality TV show actually seems kind of cool so she's not complaining.) 

"I bet we'll get in trouble for taking photos," first guy says nervously. "This is, like, the intensive care unit." 

The woman bounces up to Samora like social anxiety is a kind of fruit and says, "Is it true you're a faith healer who claims to draw power from Dungeons and Dragons?"

Samora smiles warmly and continues to not speak any English!

What is happening?? …Marian is maybe not going to translate that until she figures out what this woman is up to.

“Who are you?” she says suspiciously.

"I'm Darcy, I'm from the Gazette-Journal. Do you work here? Do you agree with the decision to hire a faith healer?"

Okay, who the fuck let a journalist in here! This is such a bad idea! 

Also that’s not even how - what - ugh Marian is fully aware that it’s a bad idea to argue with journalists.

“She doesn’t speak English. You should talk to the doctor.” Marian is a coward and is just going to point at Dr Harrison.

The journalist pingpongs off to go ask the doctor the same question!

Dr Harrison gives her a harassed look. 

"Okay, first, who the fuck let you in, this is the ICU. Secondly, I'd say both 'hired' and 'faith healer' are missing the point. Thirdly, I am in fact still kind of busy. Why don't you shoo back to somewhere that's not a locked unit and, uh -" he turns around and cups his hand over his mouth, "- oy, everyone who's not actually an ICU patient anymore! I'm not kicking yall out, but if anyone if you called the fucking Gazette Journal on us, your pet journalist is here!

- okay, shoo now." Gesture at the door out. 

One of the patients' siblings exits stage left looking moderately embarrassed; Darcy Gazette-Journal acknowledges the better part of valor and follows.

Samora looks at Marian because there was a loud announcement she didn't understand and might need to comply with.

Oh no does Samora’s world even have the concept of journalists? How hard is this going to be to explain? 

"You don't need to do anything. The woman who was just here is a - someone who writes about events happening - I guess sort of like a town crier? I think a relative of one of the patients you healed must have called them but, uh, she wasn’t supposed to be in here, it’s a violation of patient confidentiality.” Huh, neat how Samora’s language has all of those words, even if Marian isn’t sure they’re usually combined into that phrase. “I think she didn’t believe it was real yet but - there’s a lot of pretty convincing evidence, so, I don’t know. Hopefully it won’t be too messy if everyone in the city finds out soon?” 

"I would like it if everyone in the city found out about me but perhaps I should write down an explanation for you to translate so I don't need to bother you to explain things over and over."

"Uh. I'm - some amount worried that if the whole city finds out about you, someone from the government will try to stop you from leaving to go back to your party? And, like, possibly do experiments on you to try to figure out how your magic works. - probably having a written explanation is still good?" 

"If they decided to stop me from leaving, what would their likely motive be? Doing the experiments? Forcing me to work for them? Preventing me from telling anyone on Golarion they exist?"

“Uhhh, I - think it would be mostly the first two? Unless there’s maybe some reason to worry that Golarion would go to war with this country or be a risk to national security or something…”

"I don't think any of the countries on Golarion are capable of invading another planet. It's possible that my coming here and going back will cause the gods to take notice, depending on why they weren't before, but I won't tell anyone except my party and my government and the latter will work to ensure the Good gods get the information and the Evil gods don't. --Gods can see things their followers are doing more clearly than things other people are doing; I don't think I explained that yet."

“Huh.” Wow, Marian cannot describe how much she doesn’t feel like translating claims about the “evil gods” to any government officials. “…Yeah, I don’t know how the authorities here would react to that. Also I’m not sure if they can keep you here against your will even in theory, given the, uh, magic. But I am - feeling kind of nervous about it.”

"Are they Lawful enough that if I were to meet with them under a promise of safe conduct, they would respect it?"

Wow what a question. It's not that it's not a sensible question, it's just - not one Marian would ever have thought to apply to the US government as an entity - to the extent that it even is an entity - and she's not sure how to answer it. 

"Um. I - think I should ask someone who's from this country what they think? And, like, who I would even talk to to try to arrange that. - I'm not from here, I grew up in a different country called Canada that's north of here. ...But, yeah, I should do that soonish, probably." 

Aaaaaaaah. Marian is super not qualified to deal with this aaaaah. 

"Fair enough. Are there things about this country that it's occurred to you I should know?"

Eeeeeeeeep surprise pop quiz that's not fair Marian is a grown adult and can handle this. What would someone from a fantasy universe find surprising about the United States? 

"It's really big - I don't know what the usual population of a country is in your world, but there are like three hundred million people in America - seven billion in the world in total. There's - probably a lot more bureaucracy and different parts of the government than you're used to, because it's so big? The leader of the country is elected by a vote and so are a lot of other people in the government, but then there are also all these departments in charge of different things, like national security or healthcare - there's a government department that does stuff related to infectious disease safety for the whole country, and I wouldn't be that surprised if the hospital already contacted them about your infection last night, since we hadn't seen it before. Uh. The government is officially not religious and it's illegal to discriminate based on someone's religion, but most people in the country are Christian and there's definitely weird politics around that and I think it'll affect how people react to you once they believe you're really from another world, I just...don't know how...

- I'm not sure how long it'll take before anyone in authority believes it. There are a lot of organizations that write news articles about things that sound crazy and usually they aren't real." 

Marian is personally hoping it takes a while hopefully long enough that she can quietly back away from the situation before important people show up she shouldn't do that if she can still be helpful, this is really important, but she wants to so badly. Why. - because US bureaucracy paying attention to her personally has never been a good experience and what if they demand to see her immigration paperwork and it turns out her visa is somehow not in order and she gets banned from the country forever or something. 

"- I have bad experiences with the government bureaucracy in America. Mostly about letting me be in the country to work. They're really strict about border control and especially who can have a job here - ugh it's just occurred to me that I think we can't legally pay you - I don't know if you being here would be an immigration problem, that would be really stupid, but I'm - not actually sure I trust the government to respond in a way that isn't really stupid. It feels - hard to predict." 

"A lot of governments are hard to predict, unfortunately." Not everywhere can be Lastwall. It's interesting that they make elections work on such a massive scale, though, or really that they make having a country that big work at all.

"Is there something I was supposed to do when I arrived in the country that I didn't do because I was unconscious? Should I go do it as soon as I'm done healing people for today? If you teach me nonmagical medicine instead of paying me, would that be legal?"

Wow, Marian has no idea! Is there a protocol for this situation - Samora arrived without crossing any borders, which would be hard to do without magic, but it's not like she snuck in illegally, it wasn't her fault or intention. She wonders what happens if someone, say, comes in by air but doesn't actually go through Customs because they have a medical emergency on the plane and have to be rushed directly to a hospital, that might be the most closely analogous situation that, like, happens with any regularity... 

"I should ask? Normally people would arrive via a border and there would be a process. We should try to figure it out today, probably, but I don't think you'll be - more in trouble if you wait until later today..." 

"That makes sense. Are we close enough to a border crossing that I could get there in a day or two? Oh, but I'd have to explain why I was coming from this direction and they might not believe me, hmm. Maybe I could cross into the next country and then I'd be in that one legally? All of that can wait until you have answers to the plane case." Also if she understands what 'plane' means correctly from context then planes are very cool.

That sounds so complicated and exhausting. "We're not actually, uh, very close to a border to the nearest other country, and you can't fly without identification documents, I think there's got to be a better way? ...But yeah, I'll try to find out more." 

Also it looks like the remaining ICU patients plus hallwayful of ER patients are now arranged to everyone's satisfaction and ready for healing?
