Hello, you've reached Laica. There's um... I'm sort of busy so I'll have to call you back.

What's the biggest piece of healing you've done?

[lovelylaica]

Well, um. Hm. It's not really like needlepoint, is it? Hard to measure...

Most of what I do is like a medic on a battlefield. And if I get to somebody fast enough, and there's enough of them left to work with, I can sort of... You know it takes a lot longer to die than most people realize. In most situations, I mean. So you could say the worst I've healed is death. But if somebody's head is caved in, I can't do much with that. Ease them on out if they're still alive, mostly. But as an example, my friend Merrill got stabbed. Ran right through. And it was a big sword and she's a small elf and she's lucky it wasn't a bit wider or she'd have been hewn in half and I couldn't have done anything then.

But I was able to close her wounds and get her back to my estate to help with the rest of the healing. Sometimes it takes a while.

[toivory]

What about growing something back? Say an ear, or a hand.

Oh my god I don't know where this went

[lovelylaica]

I...

[ A long pause. ]

No. I don't think I can do that. I'm not sure anybody ever has. If it was recently severed, I can reattach it.

[toivory]

Oh.

But recreating something from nothing is right out?

Re: rude af

[lovelylaica]

I'm afraid so. I know people who can make really wonderful cosmetic prosthetics. I could try crafting one, if that would help.

[toivory]

I knew a man with a golden hand. But I don't believe that could really... help us here.

[ Laica awakes immediately, having not ever heard static before. And being a light sleeper ever since the Blight. She blinks at the message for a while. ]

Hello?

[sphererpmod]

[There is no response.]

[The same static as before at 3:33, only this time it lasts for 13 seconds. When the message is played back or played for other people, it becomes less clear and degrades until it's completely gone.]
