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.

No, your situation's a first. But I think you were supposed to be brought here, then sent off to the mission. You just happened to be pulled in while there was no one here.

So instead of arriving correctly, we got punted directly in. Not sure that explains anything about the barrier we kept running into. None of you who came from Etraya had that problem, did you? That you'd run into an invisible barrier when walking along. One that moved every few days?

[badlydisarmed]

No, but I'm guessing it was some sort of safety measure to keep the new people from wandering off? They didn't want you to be left behind, probably.

It also randomly teleported us across the city every few days. Worst invisible corn maze I've ever been in, I do not recommend.

[badlydisarmed]

Eh, I've seen worse.

Did you get a superpower while you were there?

[thisisontherecord]

Such reassuring things you say.

Sure. Flight. What about you?

[badlydisarmed]

Super-powered arm. The missing one. Absolutely not something that would make me re-live any trauma or anything.

[thisisontherecord]

Asshole move. Could have at least given you a high-functioning prosthetic attuned to your nervous system instead of the here and gone again. That sucks.

[badlydisarmed]

It WAS a high-functioning prosthetic. I don't miss it, I want a normal, working arm not one that can blow up buildings or whatever.

[thisisontherecord]

Is anything like that obtainable in this context? The normal arm. Not the building exploding one.

[badlydisarmed]

Someone was building me one. I could've asked Aurora for one, but the new wing won the coin toss.

[thisisontherecord]

A magical malady wing seems unfortunately useful here. Sorry the original builder went AWOL. Is assistive technology considered a luxury here?

[badlydisarmed]

I don't think so. Between here and Solmara I've seen plenty of prosthetics.

[thisisontherecord]

Huh. Have you asked?

[badlydisarmed]

Yeah, a guy was working on it but I'm pretty sure he's the worst combination of workaholic with ADHD, so I haven't followed-up on it.

Weirdly, I think the blind 9 year old I just met might get back to me faster.

A thousand projects, none of them completed, huh?

I hate how much sense that second sentence made. Not for visual impairments, but for ridiculously gifted kids.
