[The person on the screen is not Baizhu.

In fact, the person on the screen is not a person at all. It's a small white snake with pink eyes and strangely human pupils, who is managing to look very frustrated despite having no capacity for facial expressions.]

Augh, thisss device. [She hisses and mutters to herself, then appears to realise she finally got it to do what she needed it to.]

Greetings. I am in need of sssomeone to break down a door. Preferably sssomeone with some medical expertise, though I find myssself in a position to not be able to be fussy about the help so long as the person has opposible thumbs and some level of physical sssstrength.

[The snake sniffs. The room around her is fairly dark, but the light of the phone is keeping her illuminated. She appears to be on the floor.]

Baizhu has taken ill, and sssince those people who would normally assist him are not here, and he will not call for any aid himssself, the responsibility falls to me. I have done what I can, however... I am, as you ssssee... just a snake.

[Little help for the snake? Please?]

[Well that's interesting. Flynn quietly turns on his camera and stares at the snake for a second.]

I can use healing magic, but that might not work on your person. I can, however, break down a door for you.

[applehearted]

I'm well versed in medicine and I'm rather physically fit, so I can help in this regard.

I also do have access to healing magic as well.

[It's a talking snake. Why is she not surprised it's a talking snake]

2/2

[embracingsun]

[But the snake is asking for help and that is the most important ]

I'm pretty good at breaking doors down. I have experience with healing too, if you still need it for your...human?

[She's making a wild guess here]

[physicianhealthyself]

Given the nature of hisss ailment, it would be unwise to apply the use of unfamiliar magic.

[Gods knows what that could do, and she does prefer him alive.]

However, if you are able to follow instruction, you can assssist in the preparation of a tincture.

[physicianhealthyself]

I do not feel very inclined to entrust the care of my companion to someone who does not show their face.

[physicianhealthyself]

[Human is correct, though she doesn't actually confirm it either way. She just peers at the girl for a moment.]

If you are ssspeaking of 'healing magic' that will be unnecessary. However, if you ssstill wish to help with the door, I will accept.

Hello, Changseng. This is Erenville.

I am no healer, but I am versed in some medicine given that I am used to traveling alone. Can you tell me the symptoms and where I may find you?

[bravestknight]

I can definitely do that. Just let me know what I need to do and where to go.

[He can help out, he is a knight after all, it's kind of what he does.]

[physicianhealthyself]

[Oh, finally, someone familiar. She was starting to get irritated dealing with random strangers who seemed to just want to have a go at breaking down the door.]

It would be bessst if you see it for yourself. Baizhu will not be pleased about this in any case, but he may be lessss agitated with someone who is not a stranger.

[And then she gives Erenville the address he can find them at - slightly more on the Solarpeak side of Sunwaning.]

[physicianhealthyself]

[She gives him the address - a place slightly towards the Solarpeak side of Sunwaning - and then lets out a prim little huff.]

Try not to damage the door on your way in, won't you?

[gleaner]

Alright. I will be there as soon as I am able.

[He is in Amberfall, so not too far from Sunwaning. But it is still a bit of a distance, nonetheless. Thankfully, the public transport of both segments are easy enough to use.

Once he has at the residence in question, he knocked on the door briefly to signal his arrival.]

Changseng, I have arrived. Please keep away from the door.

[He didn't really want to break the door, but it was likely locked and Changseng had no real way to slip him the key. Snakes were wily creatures but gripping a key may prove problematic given her size.

Still, after testing the wood to see how thick it was along with taking in the type of door it was, Erenville had a good idea of what to do to minimize the damage. He could better repair it later. He set down his bag and with a grunt, placed a strong kick at the door close to where the door knob was. It took a couple more, but it eventually did the trick. The door swung open, the wood splintering at the door frame where the locking mechanism was but the door itself more or less remained intact.]

Changseng?

[bravestknight]

[He's already being chastised by a snake and he hasn't even done anything yet.]

I will do my best, if not I will make sure we get the door replaced, how does that sound?

un: trailblazer

[starrailed]

[Oh look at the cute danger noodle.]

If you need help with kicking down a door I can at least do that part. I'm not a healer, though.

[illusionistic]

[ From one snake to another he understands the struggles of having no limbs. Aeacinos looks annoyed though because Baizhu let it get this bad?? ]

I will be right over to take care of things. What else is it that he needs?

Voice ; un: PantsonPyre

[localweirdo]

[...]

What has he gotten himself into now?

[embracingsun]

Of course. Leave it to me! I'm well practised in the art of breaking things down!

[physicianhealthyself]

How comforting.

[Changsheng does not sound entirely convinced, but she does give the address where they can be found.]

[physicianhealthyself]

Into? Why, nothing.

[But as Changsheng said, she can't really afford to be fussy right now.]

I'm sssure that we can both count on your discretion, Director Hu.

[physicianhealthyself]

[Ah, it's Aeacinos. Maybe Baizhu won't be too annoyed to find this man peering over him.]

We have everything he needssss here. I sssimply lack the ability to put it to use.

[physicianhealthyself]

[WOW SAY THAT TO HER FACE CAELUS.]

Are you capable of following verbal insssstructions?

[Otherwise this is probably going to be a waste, because she'll just have to go out and find someone else once the door is open.]

[physicianhealthyself]

Acceptable.

[He's probably going to hear a lot of the chastisement while they're in the same location. She's like that.]

I'll be sssure to point out that it was my idea.

[physicianhealthyself]

[When he arrives, Changsheng is nowhere near the door but she does hear his voice. When he kicks it open he'll find the area inside in darkness with all the curtains drawn, and the strong scent of drying medicinal herbs hanging in the air inside. There does seem to be some movement of the air - hinting that a window is open somewhere.]

Ah, Erenville. There you are.

[The small white snake appears, sliding across the floor towards the front door towards the Viera.]

Hisss condition seems no worse, but it's good that you arrived promptly.

[localweirdo]

I certainly hope so, we wouldn't want him to do something he's not supposed to be doing.

[That said?]

I'm afraid I don't have much medical knowledge but I do know a thing or two about treating some ailments.

Action

[embracingsun]

[ What a rude snake. But Estelle isn't full of herself for no reason and makes her way to the address quickly enough, staff in hand and orbment set up ready to go]

Is this the door?
