Greetings, Audentes. It is I, Sieglinde Sullivan- also known as the Green Witch. I am sure you are occupied with your own matters during this valuable personal time, but I must interrupt for three announcements, if you might lend me your ear.

The first is that Date Masamune, one lord of Oushuu, has been transferred to a different team. I know that not many of you have been with us since Chantes, but he was a valuable team member, and he will surely be missed.

[By her, perhaps most of all, but she manages to keep a straight face, hastily moving on.]

The second is that it has come to my attention some of our members come from worlds where literacy is not as prominent. Access to book learning is one of the most important aspects of an education, so I shall be using some of my time here in Oska to improve this situation. I am able to instruct in multiple languages, but I shall be focusing primarily on what many worlds call English, as I found it the most useful for communication during the period when our translators were defective. You may join open sessions in the castle library each day from an hour past noon.

On that note, thirdly, I need your assistance with one of those new pupils. As much as I prefer to work alone, I am afraid this issue deals with a delicate combination of spellcraft and science, and so I shall be opening up this project to others of like intellect hopefully differing experience. Graham, if you would like to say a few words?

[She reaches forward to turn her magitech brooch. revealing a certain rugged Huntsman. Said huntsman, for his part, was listening. Which explains why his first word seems more relevant to her second announcement than her third.] ...Pupil? [He's aware that means student, and feels as if he might have to explain to Sieglinde he can indeed read and write... though perhaps his handwriting leaves something to be desired...

That can be a conversation for another time, however. There's more important matters at hand to discuss now.]

Those of you present in Perdition's Rest might recall, I have been heartless for a long time. I've asked Sieglinde to help me try and find some kind of solution, though it occurred to me the secrecy didn't aide in finding a solution. [Talking to Koltira had reminded him of how much more he could do. He owed it to himself, and perhaps those who cared about him and wanted to connect to him better, to do all he could instead of asking Sieglinde to do it for him.] If you think you might be able to lend aide, or have any questions about my condition, I'm here to answer them. Even if there's no perfect solution, I'd ... I'd like to feel things, again.

[Feel things properly is perhaps the better way of putting it, but considering this is a great deal more than Graham tends to talk already, he nods and indicates that's all he has to say, and Sieglinde takes back the video.]

How anyone capable of lending a productive hand could deny such a sincere appeal I do not know. I have seen we have new recruits among us, so we look forward to hearing from you if you have experience with medical surgery, curses, or other magics.

Thank you.

Ideally we would only need to use that method as long as it took to implant a heart...

[hours... no more than a day...]

How does one measure the hardiness of a soul?

[predomination]

That's my hope. I'm really only prepping for a worst case scenario here.

[he has to. it's simply how he works.]

No one too old or too young. It would be easier if they weren't human, but that's not a hard and fast rule. The most ideal candidate would be someone strong that Graham-san trusts.

[grunehexe]

It is best to do so.

[Planning only for success... what folly that would be.]

I see...

[She doesn't consider herself young, but most people seemed to...]

There is a woman from his world who is strong, and who is most dedicated to his recovery. Perhaps her.

[predomination]

If she's willing, she would be the best candidate. There wouldn't be any chance of incompatibility. Not that I expect there to be, because souls are just that, but if we're dotting all our I's and crossing all our T's...

[grunehexe]

Let us... dot and cross them.

[She thinks she gets that phrase...]

[predomination]

Ah! That reminds me. [in a roundabout way] I have something to give you. Unrelated, of course, but I know you'll have use for it.

[grunehexe]

- for me? What is it?

[predomination]

[he holds up a little vial of green liquid.] This is what we call Shinten. It's a powerful anesthetic where I come from. One drop of it is enough to put down someone quite a bit stronger than an average human. I thought it might come in handy for patients that are difficult to subdue gently.

[grunehexe]

[omg Urahara you shouldn't have??? only Sieglinde would love a gift like that]

Shinten? That might be useful indeed- what is it made of?

[predomination]

[he knows what nerd healers like. he knows what nerd healers want.]

Hmm. It's a complicated formula using a few kinds of plant and a type of healing magic we call kaido, mostly. Difficult to make outside of- [soul society, but he's not about to say that on the network]- the place it came from, but I've managed it a time or two.

If you're worried about allergies, I promise it's safe... though a bit too strong for humans.

[grunehexe]

[they want the... anesthetics...]

I see- something specific to your world. If it only requires a drop, then that leaves a few for me to experiment with, then...

[Sees like another perfect thing to do to distract herself from the loss of... basically the most important person in her life :)]

[predomination]

[enabling bad habits like a friend who... definitely has the same bad habits. :)]

Well, if you want one to play with, I could just give you the bottle I was keeping for myself. I don't need to do much serious healing these days, especially not the kind that requires something like that. I just thought they'd be interesting to have around.

I trust you'll do something clever with it, Sieglinde-san.

[grunehexe]

[friends let friends consume themselves with bad habits]

... that would be most welcome. If it is designed specifically for non-humans, there is a certain project I might be able to use it for.

[namely, a certain undead elf's blood frenzies]

[predomination]

[not just nonhumans, specifically sort-of-dead nonhumans.]

Well, then I'd be honored to donate it to the cause. You can stop by any time to pick them up.

[grunehexe]

[PERF]

I shall make my way there presently, then.

[predomination]

Just, ah... Ignore the mess. I've been preoccupied.

[grunehexe]

Such things hardly concern me.

[He hasn't seen her workshop, but.

Yeah.]

[predomination]

That's good to know. Normally, women are easily offended by such things.

[is he ever gonna stop fluffing her ego?

nope. he's just setting her up for the next inevitable prank he'll pull on her. never forget the duck.]

[grunehexe]

Well, I am hardly a normal woman.

[rood]

[predomination]

[look it's about 50% sincerity, even if the other 50% is just cheap flattery.]

You're right. I've never seen a lady your size hold quite that much liquor before. Truly marvelous, Sieglinde-san.

[grunehexe]

That is nothing that needs flattering- I have taken beer with my meals for years. For some reason, other worlds find this strange.

[dismissive hand waving!!!]

[predomination]

They've clearly mistaken your delicate features to mean you have a delicate constitution. My, my, it's so strange how people think, just because a girl looks so. It's like they can't hear all that sass.

[grunehexe]

I do not know why at all a sauce reference is pertinent in this case, but I shall give you the benefit of different cultures and assume you mean something flattering.

[predomination]

[that is... adorable.]

You've caught on to my shameless, flattering ways~

[grunehexe]

A witch's eyes are not so easily fooled.
