Who: Everyone messed up by the dragon plot, and visitors
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Blue Fish's clinic!
When: All throughout the Solrius dragon plot and through the space flight to the next destination.

[So several RPG characters, a dragon, and two messianic figures walk into a planet.

Everything is suffering and tears, there's a lot of dead people, there's no punchline. But, hey, for the survivors, the Blue Fish's clinic is treating wounds and generally being a decent place to rest and recover and pray you don't see a dragon again. And for those who weren't involved, there's enough people bedridden here that there may just be someone you want to visit.]

[if it helps, you can ask her when she's not on painkillers and that will be much more conductive to getting answers.]

Oh, thanks... I had a lot of practice. It was my first spell, so I trained a lot with it.

It's still really good! I tried to do it with my own powers, but it usually ended up very messy.

You have wind powers too?

No, I wish.

I have these ribbons that I can shoot out and they grab stuff? So I'd try training myself to grab things like snacks, across the room! Unopened bags of chips were fine, but anything else...

[... okay, she has to laugh at that.]

You started out too small. I trained with a bowl of chips- First just carrying it without letting it tip over, then worked my way up to just picking up one without disturbing the rest of the bowl.

Oh...so I should've started bigger?

[He rubs his chin]

I never thought about it that way.

You learn fastest when there's consequences for failure, after all.

[this explains a lot, doesn't it.]

[JEEZ GIRL]

That's...an interesting learning strategy for a method meant to be lazy.

It's less meant to be lazy and more meant to make up for the fact that everyone else is so goddamn tall.

[SHE WANTS THINGS OFF THE HIGH SHELVES, ALLEN.]

[He laughs at that, okay it's funny]

Ah, I see.

You probably would've hated some of my comrades then. Of the men, I was the short one. [And he's 5'8"]

I hate them all already.

[Yep. Definitely going to just laugh]

[BURN ALL TALL PEOPLE]

Anyway, being lazy with it is a nice side-effect. It's supposed to be used in dungeons to hit switches or grab objects that are out of reach.
