Azami rolled out of bed, checking her laptop.

Welcome fellow person
I'm Azami

Elara had fallen asleep out of pure exhaustion at her laptop once again. Awaking to see that was the case, she groaned, getting up to grab a.cup of coffee before, heading back to check the thread.

ahhh, sorry i mustve fallen asleep at my computer, i do that quite frequently. its just one of the perks of being exhausted all the time ahahah
anyways yeah, as melanie said were here for you if you need anything

Hi Azami. I'm Boreas.

Wisp poked her head around the corner, "Hey, Zephyr want some lemonade?"
He looked at her and had to stop himself from cursing. "Ah- Wisp your bandage, its…"
"Dripping." she sighed. "Gotta get Columbine to replace it."

Weird question but do any of you have any knowledge about how to help injured people? Asking for a friend.

Stars above that sounded suspicious.

I have a friend that got hurt recently.

Azami hummed thoughtfully to herself, she'd learned some things from the ship's doctor, and another doctor who her crew's allied with.

Maybe I can help, dunno
Gimme the details

Well there was an explosion and all, now she only has one eye…. it bleeds sometimes, her missing eye I mean. Is that something I need to worry about?

He knew it most certainly was something he needed to worry about, but he still asked.

hmm, depends. what kind of injury does this friend have?

Melanie frowned. That didn't sound good.

How long ago did she get hurt, exactly?

2 months ago, its actually gotten a lot better, she was blind in both eyes for a little while.

I have a feeling that if it randomly starts bleeding sometimes, that can't be a good sign. Does it seem infected?

Melanie was no medical expert, but she'd read a book or two on the topic and felt confident enough to at least make suggestions.

No? I'm pretty sure Columbine would do something if it were infected. It just hasn't healed yet. We have a healer, but she's gone for a little while.

Hmm…I don't know, then…..I hope it's nothing too serious….
2 months does seem like along time for something to keep bleeding like that, but then again I'm not a doctor.

It might be fine if she would stop moving, but no one can keep her from dancing.

Zephyr was about to say something else before he realized he was sharing to much. He hadn't even told these people his real name, but he was talking about Wisp's condition, without asking her. What kind of double standard was that? He didn't know what else to say, so he tried changing the subject.

But that's not why I'm depressed.

It sounded weird, but maybe they'd see he was trying not to talk about Wisp's injury. Probably not. He wasn't good with words.

Melanie furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

I'm sorry, I thought you said you weren't depressed earlier?

Well. What a nice little problem he had created for himself.

I'm not, really I'm not. I was trying to change the subject because Ferrin might kill me if I talk about his girlfriend behind her back.

Oh, look. Now he had a new problem.

Melanie could sense the dishonesty practically dripping off this new person, and thought about calling them out. But in truth, she just didn't have the energy. So she decided to play along.

I guess that's fair.
I hope your friend's girlfriend's eye stops bleeding soon. And whether you're depressed or not, I hope you're not. It kind of sucks.

He read the post 3 times. They seemed a little tired of his whole charade. Should he even respond?
Ferrin threw a piece of bread at him*."Wriiiiiiite."
"Alright, I am, I'm doing it."

Well do you people like dogs? Horses? Or I don't know, watermelon?

Melanie didn't blame them for changing the subject, honestly.

I always liked cats :) Dogs and horses are cool, but they're too big and loud and messy for me personally.

My mom owned a pet cat, it was the ugliest thing. His face looked like he ran into a wall, and he never let me pet him. I have a scar on my hand where he bit me. Mean little sprite. My dad got rid of him after he tore up a painting, it was a family portrait, I was the only one he clawed. I'm telling you that cat hated me.

That's why I favor reindeer
And watermelon is the shit

Reindeer, yeah I have a friend who talks about those a lot. They're just horses with small trees on their heads right? That sounds pretty scary honestly.

Nah, our ship's doctor's a reindeer and he's adorable
Everybody keeps calling him a tanuki, though
I see no resemblance

Oh no. They were talking crazy again. But he'd humor them, they seemed to have put up with him.

A reindeer doctor? Please explain.

What is there to explain?
He's a reindeer who ate the Human-Human fruit
And now he can talk and do human stuff

"Listen to this Ferrin 'He's a reindeer who ate the Human-Human fruit.And now he can talk and do human stuff.' You said they weren't crazy."
"Stop making up stories to get out of socializing."
"I'm NOT MAKING THIS UP!"
"Hm."

I hope your not serious.
