If you wish to say "I will always love you," send an orchid. Express your sympathy with a pink, purple or white orchid plant. Purple orchids are often seen as symbols of royalty and wealth. They can also be used to express admiration, respect, or dignity. Dried dendrobium is believed to possess medicinal properties that can help treat cancer, strengthen the immune system, and improve eyesight.

[ almost put 3 instead of 4. no we're moving on to another terrible week.

but alfyn comes to fetch daan and bring him to the infirmary in the new location, spreading his hands at it and then looking at him. he's trying to give him something to focus on that's not terrible, life altering loss, because marina is a hole in the heart that's never going to heal.

but they have to keep going, anyways. ]

Yesterday, I started movin' stuff around in the theater to make it better suited for a clinic, and maybe also somewhere for all of us to store supplies. And then we get this place poppin' up? It's like it knows.

[recession]

[ We are slowly but surely trucking on... ]

Yeah, but we'll lose this by the end of this week, so can't be moving everything in here even though that'd be the reasonable thing to do.

[ He's looking around. Mentally he's taking inventory of what's present, so his thoughts are just rattling off whatever medical items he can see here and being like well that's nice. ]

[concoctive]

[ lifts daan up onto my shoulders, me personally. ]

It would be, yeah. But we can take the stuff here... and, come Sunday, we can just take all the furniture and stuff out to make sure we don't lose it.

[ there's the mental image of one of the village cabin beds, thinking about where best to put it in the theater, and where these two cots might fit in with it as he follows daan around to investigate. ]

[recession]

[ My fucked up smalltag... ]

So you basically intend on stealing the entire infirmary back to camp?

[ He has the energy to snort at the idea. ]

Sure, why not. Weren't punished for taking things from the island... there was the tree incident last week, but while it was harrowing, nobody was harmed, and there was a clear supernatural aspect to all of that.

[concoctive]

Not all of it! And I wouldn't uproot stuff until the last minute... I took a lot of things from the academy yesterday and nothin' else happened. But Pesti and I were tryin' to leave somethin' better behind for the dogwood and its friend, so hopefully it balanced out.

[ he doesn't like being a looter, and thinks of brigands and thieves that came to ransack and terrorize his hometown for a moment, but.

there's no one here, and he hopes it's not going to hurt anyone. ]

[recession]

[ Huh. Daan isn't inherently a ransacker or thief either, but there's a brief thought of Well... too late to gripe about it now, at this point. ]

Between all of us combined, we already have a pretty sizeable stock. We only need to take just enough of what we don't already have, right?

[concoctive]

Right. So long as nobody goes and does anythin' real stupid... [ Like fightin' a bear. ] I just know some folks aren't real fond of the swamp, so if we can be prepared for anythin', I'd be glad for it.

Not sure what some of this stuff is in the first place, though.

[recession]

[ There's just an agreement thought. Don't fight a fucking bear or a lion. ]

Yeah, that seems to be the popular consensus more or less.

Which ones are you unfamiliar with?

[concoctive]

[ smashcut to everyone fighting bears. ]

I've learned what pain killers are by this point, at least, and the ointment makes sense. But... [ he holds up... bug spray! and bear spray. along with the hot/cold patches.

some animal crossing question marks appear over his head. ]

[recession]

Those first two aren't for medicinal use, don't spray them on injuries. They're bug and... bear repellant.

[ He's never had to use one so he's not sure what the hell is even IN bear spray. Is it just mace??? ]

The other two are compresses. Cold variety and hot variety.

[concoctive]

Oh! Oh, that's useful - the compresses, moreso, though I guess the repellants are handy.

Used to just kinda beatin' both up to repel 'em... [ giant bugs real ]

[recession]

...

...

Don't... fight a bear or a lion?

[ Are you crazy??? He's not from a fantasy it's so abnormal to fight animals. You can fight like three animals in F&H and one's a headless dog, one's a fully deformed dog that looks like an ugly baby, and one is a HORRIBLE HORSE that will KILL YOU. ]

[concoctive]

I mean, I don't go outta my way to fight 'em back home. Sometimes you gotta if you can't scare 'em off, though, and most of the times the giant bugs don't really have as much sense as a bear or a lion would.

[ he's thinking that the bug repellant is for. like. last week's dog-sized spiders, not normal sized bugs. and his bears tend to look like this. ]

[recession]

[ Sir that's partway boar and a hundred percent carnivorous. ]

Are massive monstrous animals just a common thing in your home?

[ There's a fleeting thought of Nona with that, since he heard a little bit about her and what she did, but that's it. ]

[concoctive]

[ oh we have boars, too! ]

There's small stuff, too, like the marmots, meeps... hatchlings... they don't really do much unless you're not used to fightin' big ol' bastards like the bears, bulls, rhinos... some asps can get pretty big. Drakes...

[ leaning his hip against one of the cots thoughtfully, a more cartoony, animal crossing reaction-style thought of a meep popping up. ]

[recession]

[ He's mentally just like isn't that a baby boar, what is that. Who named it a meep. ]

You're from a more rural region, correct?

[ He knows hunting animals and the like is more normal compared to urban or suburbs so it's not like he can actually judge him for it or knock his animal-fighting abilities, but god. ]

[concoctive]

[ they come in moss-covered varieties, also, like this is genshin impact or something. ]

I am, yeah. No walls or guards to keep the critters out, so we see 'em pretty often, usually just passin' through. Was up to me and my friend Zeph to shoo 'em out if our hunters weren't around to do it.

Not that they don't get into the cities that do have walls, though. And demihumans will barge in to fight humans a lot, too.

[recession]

[ Little Risk of Rain piggies... ]

...?

What is a demi-human?

[concoctive]

Ah, right, been a while...

They're smarter than just an average monster, like they build societies and use weapons, even if they don't speak like humans and just make, y'know. Monster noises. So they got called demihumans. There's eight kinds? Ratkins, lizardmen, birdians, froggens, apes, moles, caits, and octopuffs.

The last two are pretty harmless but are highly sought after 'cause they can yield a lot of rewards and are really rare.

[recession]

[ Love that apes and moles just get to remain apes and moles. ]

Oh.

[ Hilariously enough ratkin are also a thing in F&H so he probably sort of has an idea. ]

Ran into a ratkin in the sewers... didn't really like that...
