[In between the end of the... timeline shenanigans (which, thankfully for everyone, she does not remember) and their departure for the next mission, Sieglinde can be found up to her eyeballs in texts and tomes, mostly unfed, unrested, and occasionally unwashed... But never mind that.]

Audentes recruits. It is I, Sieglinde Sullivan. The Green Witch. Most of you know me, but there are newcomers among us, and so I must extend introductions to you all, unfit as this format may be for the beginning of such a bond as we are forced to share.

[If you're waiting for her to discover how to make a chill network post you can keep waiting.]

I come before you today with a request. I know there are those besides myself skilled in the art of healing, magic, and science. I speak not of the manner of talents ALASTAIR itself bestows to ease our missions, but of knowledge brought from outside of this place. There are two projects I have undertaken which could potentially benefit from the input of others, and so I seek volunteers who would be willing to lend their aid to the cause.

The cases are as follows.

One involves a person whose heart was physically removed from their body via magic, and said organ was used then in order to control them. I wish to see a heart and all capabilities therein returned to them, but as you can imagine, the process carries a great risk, seeing as the magic that removed the heart initially serves also to keep their body living artificially without such a vital element.

The other involves a more scientific matter, as it is in regards to someone whose diet is severely restricted due to some biological difference of the body, particularly the digestive system. Foods they are able to tolerate have been identified, so the next step is to discover what it is about those foods that allow them to pass through the body without causing illness, and to then implement such discoveries into a pill or procedure which could render other foods edible.

For reasons I am sure you understand, I will not give the names nor any hints towards the identities of these patients, as such information is strictly need-to-know... and only those whom I judge capable to work on these projects will be considered so.

[deep breath]

But, if you believe your training or talents may be of some use in any of those situations... your cooperation would be most appreciated. I will field questions here, should you have them.

Good day.

I'm sustained by magic, somehow. You can't exist without a heart in a world without magic, Nalawi taught me that.

( he was willing to suffer through it until a certain tiny green witch rebuked him for it, saying it was no better than being suicidal. she's not actually wrong about that. )

Not having a heart is more than just losing a heartbeat. It means I can't feel the way I should. Barely anything, sometimes. Emotion, pain, connection, all of it is less. I'd like to have a chance to correct that, if it's possible. I'm not even sure if it is.

[ She winces at that reminder; he'd looked pretty shitty in Nalawi, but she wouldn't have guessed it was becase he literally didn't have a heart.

A little quieter:
] It's all the literal and metaphorical heart stuff? Shit, yeah. Let's get you that back.

[ And by "let's" she of course means Sieglinde... she'd help if she could find a way to, at least. ]

I'm hoping to.

( he hadn't really wanted it, during the start of his stay. mixing more emotion with the memories of his time enslaved? Didn't sound ideal.

it's taken some time to want to have it back. the good, and the bad. hopefully they can find a way. )


You're not going to start calling me Tin Man, are you?

( that is teasing, in his quiet, barely there way. it isn't easy to hear, yet even without his heart he is fond of you, Ramir. don't feel too bad for his sake. )
heavyhitter: you traded me away long gone (with a shower of yeahs and whatevers)

Wait, I thought the Scarecrow.... [ trails off as she realizes she's really misremembered a lot about that whole story... ] ...Fuck, nevermind. The answer is definitely yes.

[ less tricky to hear: Ramir vehemently giving a shit despite herself. there will be feeling bad, it's guaranteed. ]

The scarecrow didn't have a brain, wasn't it? I still have that, I'll have you know.

( don't worry, he won't tell anyone that she kinda cares a little. he can tell, and it's a good thing. not too many people in his life have bothered to care. )

I appreciate the discretion, Ramir.

Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. I'm not gonna go shouting it from the — what're they called, battlements? Those things.

Guess I'll be, uh, keeping an eye out for heart transplant doctors.

Easier said than done, but it'd be a start.

( even the heartless guy manages to be touched that you care enough to want to look, though. nice job Ramir. )
