I have one question and one important announcement.

The question:

Do you pull the lever?

As for the announcement, the hospital now has a wing to treat magical maladies. Witch doctors and the like are welcome to come check it out. People with magical maladies also welcome to come get treated, I don't know how any of this shit works.

I'm the someone who had an idea. This was it.

We got a machine for it, not gonna say it's easy to use, but it looks close enough to the technology I'm used to.

[herofhopeless]

Well then, pleasure to sort of meet you. I'm Clive, if you couldn't tell by the un.

If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I'm not a doctor, but I'm sturdy, patient, and I learn quickly.

[And if he can save Cid, he'd do pretty much anything.]

Doctor Robert Romano. I was excited by the trolley problem and forgot to write an introduction.

I come from a world with no magic, but the description of the condition seemed similar to stuff I do know, so I thought there would be a similar treatment. Anyway, let him know I got it, come with him if he feels like it?

Maybe you can get him an emotional plushie, a woman named Alex was giving them away.

[herofhopeless]

To be fair, it was a very exciting problem.

I'll let him know. Thank you. What's the similar condition from where you come from?

She does love her plushies, doesn't she? I'll go see what she has.

When a body part meant to clean blood impurities fails, there's a machine that can do the body part's job for it. The way your world's illness was described sounded similar enough, and one of the machines we got with the new wing seems to serve a very similar purpose.

[herofhopeless]

That is amazing. I never imagined anything like this would even be possible. I'm sure you hear that a lot here, what with having people from all different points in time here.

Technology and what it can make is certainly impressive.

[badlydisarmed]

Your friend said something along those lines too when we talked about it. Less effusively, but similar sentiment.

[herofhopeless]

That tracks.

Thanks again for doing this. I’ll let Cid know and hey, we might even be able to meet in person.

Feel free to contact me if you need anything.

[badlydisarmed]

Not a problem. I figured, if I couldn't beat the witch doctors I might as well join them.

[herofhopeless]

All the better for those of us plagued by illnesses that need a witch doctor.

[badlydisarmed]

Maybe I'll get a robe, wizard hat, and cauldron. Just for you and your people.

[herofhopeless]

Make sure there are stars on the hat for extra flair.

[Did Clive have to look up the significance of all of those things? Yes, yes he did.]

[badlydisarmed]

Maybe I can get some glow in the dark star stickers.

[herofhopeless]

They make those? Well now you have to get them. You can’t tell me something like that then rob me of the excitement of seeing them.

[badlydisarmed]

I'll see if I can find any.

[herofhopeless]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for us.
