You have been instructed to leave the front foyer and enter one of the rooms down the center hallway. Room 136's door has an anatomical illustration of a goat crushing a snake under its hoof. A cat looks on, curious.

No. [Handing over the fan.]

You do it. Everything affected, plus an extra inch around it, to be sure. [That's. Flaying a good portion of the skin on her leg hahaahaaaaa]

I will heal after we are done here, but for the time being do it and bandage the thing. It is gruesome, but it is still a bacteria and we can stop the necrosis from spreading.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

All right.

[His face is kind of blank and closed off all of a sudden, like where did the awkward grumpy loser go? In his place is someone very cold.]

Tell me when to start. Sparrow got you what you need, right?

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

She did. She will also be cauterizing behind you.

[She pushes up her glasses and scowls.] Let us begin the operation.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

[In that case he's just gonna set to cutting, without flinching, with a very calm and dead-eyed expression, to the exact specifications given! It's really gross but he just...seems remarkably capable of steeling himself for this.]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

[WELL FOR WHAT ITS WORTH.]

[SHE HAS MEMORIES OF GETTING EVERY PART OF MY BODY MUTILATED BEYOND BELIEF SO she's actually taking it pretty well too, considering.]

If I lose consciousness or go into shock--and I might, please keep me warm and elevate my legs. Do not worry--this bacteria is not normally contageous.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

Good. It'd probably be a huge mess if I had to slice up everybody.

[His tone is so calm and detached that it's hard to tell if he's joking.]

All right. Is that enough?

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

[INSPECTING THE WORK-- wow it sure is a good thing we totally used that kitty collar as a tourniquet.]

It looks adequate from what parts I can see--does anything else appear to be necrotic like the rest of the flesh was?

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

I don't see it. But you are the doctor here, Belt.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

Perhaps, but I cannot angle to see the back of my leg. [Ugghh...]

Did you follow the same procedure on that portion as on the front? If so, it shall have to do.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

Yeah. I did what you told me to. Cutting things--I can do that much.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

Then it is fine. Dispose of the necrotic tissue somewhere no one will touch them and bandage the wound. Then please clean off my fan.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

[Going to bandage the wound, then go toss the strips of hacked-off flesh into a toilet!]

I'm not sure your fan will be clean for a while, Belt.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

Wash all of the blood and viscera off with water, then use the heat of the tool to sterilize the cutting surface.

[Carefully poking at the bandages.]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

Ah, all right. Burning it away--yeah. That works.

[Going to do that!]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

[You're alright, Swan.]

Aoko provided me with painkillers... how are the others, any idea?

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

Rook keeps having stomach pains and throwing up. The blond guy--ah, Technic. He can't breathe, Wren's trying to help him. Aoko is feverish and shaking, and something's wrong with her hand.

[Just kind of rattling it off!]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

Keep an eye on Technic. If Wren has trouble locating where to cut to enter the tube should things go wrong with intubation, get creative in making an entry and assisting.

Keep the others hydrated as best as we can.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[swordedpast]

We've only got one pitcher of water. Two if you count the one labeled "radon."

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[barrette]

Should I start now?

[ holding the... idk cauterizing-thing (whatever it is) tightly in her hands ]

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

[llets assume this was before the bandage went on.] Yes. As well as you are able--you know the technique I assume.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[barrette]

[ ...frankly no, she just cauterized Swan's wrist-stub with a blowtorch before ]

I hope so.

[ going to start cauterizing the wound, careful but quick as she can go ]

A-Aoko is keeping an eye on the others. She wanted to help somehow.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

She is an incredible woman.

[Digging her nails into her arms, but not looking away.]

Her symptoms, what are they?

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[barrette]

Um, fever, coughing and maybe nausea. I gave her an icepack to keep on her head, and some painkillers.

[ her hands are shaking but she's still going. ]

What else should we do for her?

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[goodbyenurse]

Antivirals, and keep her hydrated.

Re: PART 2 MINGLE

[barrette]

Did we get antivirals? I didn't recognize the pills we got except for the painkillers.
