This is White Lily Cookie.

I'd like to apologize about the current state of the clinic. I am currently overseeing it's repairs as it fixes itself, and will tend to those who need it from the Cookie house if desired. I also am sorry for the delay in communication, as I was recovering.

To put it simply, I performed an experiment while not in a mindset to truly keep my focus and caution, and payed the price. This is not a mistake I will make again in the future.

Is that what happened to the clinic??? Are you alright? Is there something I can do to help...??

[lilyberation]

I came out better than expected, all things considered. There is bruising, among other things, but I will recover.

I appreciate your offer, Mayoi. Thank you.

[timidheart]

Ah... that is a relief, I'm glad.

Of course. I have made use of the clinic many times, it would only be right for me to help when it is in need.

[lilyberation]

I'm sorry for the trouble.

[timidheart]

No! Please, it is no trouble! I ...I have a duty to assist too, don't I? I do not wish to impose, however...

Is that alright?

[lilyberation]

You could never impose. You're a very sweet boy, and I know you do your best.

[timidheart]

[Kkkkkkkhhh no that backfired. Praise! Praise is so hard to accept. Okay, Mayoi remember the breathing techniques and how to accept praise-]

I am not worthy of such kind words

[No!! Failed step one. He scratches that out and tries again. Remember what Mafuyu would think if he spoke this to her okok.]

Thank you for your kind words, I ...I can simply only do my best. Tell me what I can do to help and I will be right over..!

[lilyberation]

( after a moment, she draws a flower sprouting out of the scratched out text. a blessing and a hope, she thinks. )

Right now, I think the best bet is to make sure we have supplies on hand elsewhere, be it the shrine, the inn, or personal locations.

[timidheart]

[A-Ah... he sets his hand over that. What a warm and kind thing...]

Understood. Is there anything to be salvaged from the clinic? I am happy to store anything here at the shrine.

[outofsynth]

How does it fix itself?

[It's not the most out there thing he's ever seen, but it's still odd.]

[lilyberation]

I'm not sure about the exact mechanics, but it's not new. The buildings maintained or rebuilt with magic will repair themselves when damaged historically, but the clinic will take... longer, on account of it exploded.

I can conclude that it is connected to the magic that built it to begin with, but nothing else without some experimentation... And I do not want to do that to people's homes or businesses.

[outofsynth]

It exploded?

Can it be rebuilt through the normal ways? Or would that interfere with the magic?

[lilyberation]

Yes. I was conducting a magic experiment and things went

poorly.

I know what went wrong and can avoid the mistake in the future.

As for your other questions... I'm not entirely sure. We've never had damage on this level before, and I don't want to make things worse. Even without the clinic, I'm skilled with healing, so while we might not have the dedicated building for a bit, there's no loss in services.

[outofsynth]

Poorly sounds like it's underselling it.

Are you sure it's not going to stop you helping anyone? Even if you didn't lose any supplies it doesn't sound like all your equipment didn't make it out.

[lilyberation]

It very much is.

Medicine can be made or purchased, and I have my magic. There are others who can fill in the gaps where I can't. But... I don't know what to expect for the things that were inside.

I'd like to be optimistic while preparing for the worst, but I'm not sure how things are going to go until we can see for ourselves.

I'm sorry, this must be stressful to hear. Especially since I don't recognize your writing, so you must be new. I promise I'll do my best.

[outofsynth]

I am, but I'm okay. I don't need any medical assistance.

I hope the clinic will be okay though. I bet a lot of people need it with everything that goes on here.

[There's a moment before he tacks on his name as an afterthought. It's good manners, especially after being called out on being unknown.]

I'm Min-Gi.

[lilyberation]

Things get rough here, yes.

I am White Lily Cookie, as said.

The cookie is literal, but this realm has made us human.

[outofsynth]

[Huh. Cookie people isn't as out there a concept to Min as it might be most people from his world, but he'd still assumed it wasn't literal. Mostly because this doesn't seem like an environment sentient cookies would thrive in.]

It did? But it doesn't do that to everyone, right?

[He's spoken to at least one man with reptilian qualities at this point. It seems odd that it would make one group of people human but not another.]

[lilyberation]

No, it doesn't. I imagine it did it for us so that we would have a better chance of survival, on account of being cookies.

[goldenambition]

[Sorry Lily, Will was just browsing as he usually does, being nosy, when this catches his attention]

Wait, who here isn't currently human?

[Someone's idea of what counts as 'human' is a bit wide reaching]

[lilyberation]

Shit.



Technically, I think many of us aren't actually human. Apologies for the miswording.

[goldenambition]

Oh, no I get that- I just haven't seen anyone who isn't currently human.

[he thinks back and the only non-native he can think of that might not count is Loop??? They would probably be closer to Fae. But that line is kinda blurry already]

I mean, the Guardians I guess aren't.

[outofsynth]

There's the purple lizard guy.

[Who he's. Now really wishing he'd got a name from. Sorry, Mayoi.]

[outofsynth]

That makes sense. This seems like it would be a dangerous place for cookies.

[lilyberation]

Yes, we're rather delicate.

( tragic, we know. )
