[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

OOC: Feel free to comment here if your character wishes to get in touch with Samantha Grey directly. Let us keep any such material to PG-13 or less. If you're interested in something that should be matured tagged, contact me via PM and we can discuss it.

Exactly. [She chuckled.] You could say the medicines funds my potions research.

[As she got close to one of the articles, Sam snorted and laughed. She held it up and gave it a once over before setting it down.]

Careful, that one will make you reek to high heaven for a half hour or so. It's one of my newer poisons.

[cyan_maid]

-Oh!!!

[She pulls back, a little wide-eyed.] Oh, goodness! Okay. Alright, that's not smart of me...

[samantha_grey]

Hehe, some of this stuff's pretty toxic. don't worry about it, Jane. I brew up some nasty stuff either way. Not all of it though. I do make poultices at least.

[Elizabeth needed time to recover & Booker was doing a good job at using his second chance at being a father. as the days went by (& the heat rising), she was starting to feeling a little bit like her old self. though what transpired in the mirror world still haunted her & every so often she would have flashbacks & nightmares.

when she wasn't plagued by those memories, though, she uses the first chance she gets to contact Samantha, hoping her friend was alive &.... with a head.]

H-Hello, Samantha? It's me, Elizabeth. I was - I was hoping to see if you were all right. [with a head, she wanted to add but she refrains.] Um, whenever you get the chance could you please get back to me?

[cyan_maid]

[Looks at Sam curiously.] I see...what exactly is a poultice, and what does it do?

[samantha_grey]

It's a medicine and herbal mix with wrappings to help close up wounds. [She showed one of the packs.] It's not as good s the healing magics out of Sigyn, but it's better than first aid.

[cyan_maid]

[Looks at it, nods.] I see! But not everyplace has healing magic, so they definitely still sound useful.

[samantha_grey]

And even if it's one of the biggest houses, there's only so many healers to go around and they only have so much juice. They're more, just in case something goes wrong or you have to be away from healers.

( VOICE )

[samantha_grey]

[Oh, this was a call she was dreading. She fidgeted when she heard Elizbeth's nerves. Swallowing, she hit the feed back and sighed to herself.]

Hi Elizabeth... yeah, I'm fine. I... guess... we probably should talk, shouldn't we?

[cyan_maid]

[She gapes a little.] Sigyn is the biggest of the houses?

[unchain]

Oh, thank goodness...! [there's immediate relief in her voice as soon as she hears Samantha again.]

I was so worried. I couldn't find you anywhere.

[samantha_grey]

Yeah... I didn't come back to life in the mirror world. I spent most of my time afterwards getting things back to working order. [She sighed again.] I'm... really sorry about that.

Please, god, don't tell me that wasn't your first.

[samantha_grey]

Yeah, believe it or not there's a lot in that and Heimdall and most of the Sigyns are healers. It's kind of funny, but they pick up all the nice, self-sacrificing types a lot.

[unchain]

I-I see. That's good then. [now it's Elizabeth's turn to fall victim to a brief awkward silence.]

It um - It was.

[cyan_maid]

Oh, golly.

[That's certainly interesting to think about. She'll just place that thought snugly in the corner of her mind.]

I guess it's good to have healers in a war though, right?

[samantha_grey]

... seriously? That... Elizabeth... that is the worst possible first kiss I can imagine. Oh lord, that's horrible.

Sorry about that.

[samantha_grey]

Especially if they know how to defend themselves. It is good to have them, yeah. The more tools we have on our side the better. Personally, though, it's good to learn as many tricks on the side as you can. What if the powers don't work right sometime?

[unchain]

[...yeeeeah really not knowing what to say. it's a good thing she decided against using the video feed because boy is her face red.]

I-It's okay... [she thinks. it's really not how she wanted her first kiss but what's done is done.]

[samantha_grey]

Honestly... I kind of think I need to make it up to you somehow for that. I mean, assuming you even want to see me again after all that.

[cyan_maid]

Hmmm...I guess you've got me there. Have there ever been times where our powers don't work?

[unchain]

Of course I do. [she's going to keep imagining you without a head if she doesn't anyway.]

And really, don't worry about.

[samantha_grey]

If you leave town mostly... but with the number of times the giants have pulled strange stuff out of the blue, I like to be prepared.

[samantha_grey]

Do you really think I'm going to be able to not worry about fixing this if I don't? [She sighed.] Oi... you ... I don't know... do you want to get something to...

...no, I really don't feel hungry, do you?

[cyan_maid]

[That gives her pause.] They don't work outside the city? Huh...well, what about the bracelets, then? Do they still work?

[samantha_grey]

Not once you get far enough away. If you're still reasonably close, they work ok, but as far as the dwarven regions they're not able to work right.

Bracelets either. None of it. It's like every city has different rules.
