w0, sunday

[gogoghostpowers]

hey
uh you're the doctor lady right?
damien said you patched him up
he IS okay now right?

[countermeasures]

yes, that's me

his wound has been bandaged up
and he seemed to be doing much better since coming out of the archway

he'll be just fine
i'll be checking on him regularly to make sure he doesn't reopen his wounds or anything

[gogoghostpowers]

oh phew okay
that's good
cuz he really seems like the kind of guy who'd just ignore it until he keeled over
and also lie about if he ACTUALLY got help or not

[countermeasures]

he was pretty stubborn
but i'm more stubborn so it worked out
:)

[gogoghostpowers]

good
i have a feeling the only way to get him to go with anything is by out-stubborning him

[countermeasures]

that's been my experience with an unfortunately high number of people

[gogoghostpowers]

here, or in general?

[countermeasures]

both

[gogoghostpowers]

well
at least you've had good practice for this place, i guess

week two, sunday

[countermeasures]

[not my dumb ass almost making us a catchall on my journal because i forgot it was hosted on yours and couldn't find it on mine

anyway, it's pretty quiet up in the greenhouse. jiuqing is here, though, crouched next to a set of planters that have something growing in them - she seems to be harvesting some of what's grown, setting the plants down to be sorted out later.]

[gogoghostpowers]

[ There's some rustling in the greenhouse until eventually Danny rounds a corner and-- ] Oh. Hey, there you are.

...whatcha doin'?

[countermeasures]

Oh - hello there.

[she looks up at him, then back down at the plants.]

Harvesting echinacea. I planted some last week, and it looks like it's grown nicely.

[gogoghostpowers]

Echinacea, huh? That's a medicinal one, right? I think I've heard of it before.

[countermeasures]

[she nods]

That's right. It's useful in treating a variety of ailments, and drinking tea made from it regularly can make you less likely to get sick in the first place.

[gogoghostpowers]

Huh. What's it heal?

[countermeasures]

It eases sore throats and coughs, and can help to bring down fevers. It's effective against some infections, as well.

Some of the books I've read have described it as a "cure-all" for minor illnesses.

[gogoghostpowers]

Infections, huh...

Well, then, chop chop, doctor. I've got a whole lot of wounds just ripe for infection. Looks like I'm gonna need all the echinacea you can spare.

[countermeasures]

[she huffs, but the corners of her lips almost twitch up into a smile.]

What do you take me for? No way will your wounds get infected with Sir Chang and me around.

week three, friday

[countermeasures]

[sometimes, you are moping in the library, only to discover that someone else is moping there, too.

or rather - jiuqing had been moping in a tucked-away, far corner of the library. but when she's about done with moping, she gets up to find her way out, and - there's danny!]

...come for some peace and quiet?

[gogoghostpowers]

[ Danny looks up almost as if he's only just realized where he is. ]

...yeah, I guess I did.

[countermeasures]

...

[hm. should she get out of his way, then? ...but this would be such a short pc if she did that.]

I imagine we all have a lot on our minds today...

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah...Friday's just kinda becoming that kind of day, huh?

[countermeasures]

[she nods]

Thursdays and onwards have simply been... unpleasant.

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah...ugh, it's so messed up that it's like, on a schedule. Like--like someone has to die, every single week.

[countermeasures]

There must be some way to break the cycle...

[but with each week that passes without it being broken, it gets harder for her to believe that.]
