From: Bona Dea

I apologize for not offering this earlier, but if any of you find yourself with physical injuries in the future, feel free to come see me, no matter how bad they are.

I'm a healer, and my magic can be very strong. I can't do anything for blight or illness, but I can do my best to at least find a way to relieve things. I know the idea of a possible response team has come up in the past--do we have a concrete one as of the moment?

Comments

[fullcowl]

I know basic first aid, so I can potentially help stabilize wounded to get them to somebody who can help more.

[iyashinokaze]

I heard that you were wounded yourself, recently. When it comes to people who are fighting, I'd honestly just like everyone to keep themselves safe as best as they can.

[fullcowl]

That was blight. I wasn't actually fighting anyone at the time.

But I understand the sentiment.

[iyashinokaze]

Still, you are a combat type, aren't you?

Do you play RPGs, Midoriya-san?

[fullcowl]

I am, it's part of the heroics course.

Not a lot of them. Why? [Between studying for the written test and training up his body for One for All he just hasn't had the time. School's been intense even without all the villain attacks that keep happening anyway, so he just hasn't had the time.]

[iyashinokaze]

RPG parties are set up for proper strategy. You can't have one character stretched too thin, or the entire team will collapse if something should happen to them.

If we could set up a response team, there would need to be a similar set up. It's good for all of us to have a little experience in all things--I'm a combatant myself, when I need to be--but we'd have to think it through quite a bit.

[fullcowl]

Heroes are usually intermediaries. They're the first response team before the firefighters and ambulance. Being able to respond to various emergencies is part of the job.

I'm not opposed to a response team though. There's a lot more you can do with more people and more skills.

[iyashinokaze]

Things do seem very different where you're from. I just think it's best to play to one's talents.

You're the one who gave me the idea, when you asked about healers. Could you help me with it?

[fullcowl]

There are some heroes that specialize in rescue and some that specialize in combat, but everybody knows the basics.

I wouldn't mind. We can't be too sure what might happen and it'd be good to have first response teams in case of emergencies.

If we do it the RPG way, then that's at least a healer and a combatant per group, right?

[iyashinokaze]

Yes. You know that I can heal, but Seta-san says he's also capable of support.

When I was at home, my friends could use fire and water. I wielded mostly wind. Hikaru-san's fire was vicious, but widespread. My other friend's was more focused. I suppose it would be something like a multiple target attack and a single-target attack...

Without knowing how many people have healing powers and that are willing to help, there's no real way to start more than one group.

[fullcowl]

I'm a close combat fighter, but with my partners I have more range. Todoroki's vessel power is generating and controlling fire and ice. I'm not very good at using that yet though...

I only had two healers respond to that post, but more people have arrived since then. Seta said he'd like to organize study groups, so it's possible we can add teamwork as one of the classes? It's a lot more nebulous than something like Japanese lessons, but it would potentially be very helpful.

[iyashinokaze]

Then there are potentially three of us to work with. If your other contact would be willing to help, we could have three response teams. It's always good to have a backup plan!

[fullcowl]

The third is listed as Baldr on the network, but his name is Sora. You or I could probably send him a message. I haven't spoken to him much, but he seems like he'd be willing to do something like this.

Having a backup plan is always nice. Things don't always go as expected, after all.

[iyashinokaze]

Sora-san... I'll keep it in mind. I wouldn't want to bother him if he isn't interested. Maybe you could ask? I don't want to be rude and introduce myself wanting something...

For now, if Seta-san is willing, we'll start with the two of us.

[fullcowl]

I wouldn't mind. [He's not sure if Sora was affected by blight the same way he was, he never got to meet all of Axel's gods, after all. So he'll be a while before contacting Sora.]

Three people sounds like a solid foundation to start with. Should we meet up sometime? I'm free in the evenings most nights.

[iyashinokaze]

I think that would be a great idea. I don't really have much to do here, other than prayers and keeping an eye on my shinki...

[fullcowl]

My place has a lot of unused rooms, we could use one of them for these meetings.

Yeah, there's not too much to do other than that most of the time. But sometimes things get. Well. The cherry blossom viewing went south.

[iyashinokaze]

That's a mild way of putting it, isn't it?

If that's the case, we should meet as soon as we can.

[fullcowl]

It was a disaster and nobody's really sure who's responsible. So let's try to prepare for the next time something similar happens.

Tonight or tomorrow work for me.

[iyashinokaze]

I'll ask about tomorrow! I'll bring snacks, too, if you'd like.

[fullcowl]

That would be good, I think. I'm not sure how long the meeting'll last. Anything in particular you like?

[They'll never be seen by the outside world again.]

[iyashinokaze]

We should prepare for at least an hour. And I really need to get rid of some of the fruit that the trees keep bearing... Bona Dea was a goddess signified by a cornucopia. This temple might be a little too serious about that.

[fullcowl]

We might be there for longer depending. I don't know everything everybody who's here can do. But I know a few people and some of their skillsets.

Fruit sounds good. Feel free to bring over as much as you like. We'll go through any leftovers pretty fast here.

[iyashinokaze]

Or course! And if you ever would like anyone, please feel free to pick some up from my temple.

Though be careful.

It sometimes gets testy with men, and I'm not sure if it would register you as a goddess...

[fullcowl]

Your temple does that too? That makes at least three of them.

If I come by, I'll let you know ahead of time.
