cape_kore | Martha's 9th - Day 123 - Video

[Martha had found the infirmary with only a little searching. She was dismayed to find it in the condition it was. But now that it was found, she had to let others know.

When the video comes up, she looks exhausted both from the recent activity and the consistent lack of sleep.]

I guess it's only to be expected that once I got the clinic the way I like it, the scientists would destroy it and force me to set up another one. I've found the infirmary and am working on doing what needs to be done. If you need anything, stop on by. I still have some supplies from the other place.

As for the Variety Show, it seems like we should postpone it until we all learn more about our living spaces.

[Martha pauses, and it's very clear she's not sure if she should bring up what she's about to say. When she finally does speak, it's not nearly as confident as before.]

If you have any remedies for nightmares that don't involve taking away memories... please let me know.

[The feed goes dark after that.]

This will enable you to control them, yes. Normally it's used for dream walking but it can be used to treat nightmares as well, because it puts you in control of them.

It tastes pretty horrible, just to be warned.

[She nods, but she still doesn't understand it much.]

I can handle awful taste...

How do you prepare it?

Edited 2013-11-26 04:15 (UTC)

You take the root, and grind it to a powder. Passed that, there are two ways. The simplest is to take half a teaspoon and mix it with half a cup of hot water, drink it. Or you can take a heaped tablespoon and mix it with half a liter of water, blend it until a froth is formed and drink the froth. Either way you will fall asleep withing a couple minutes of drinking it, so it's best to drink it in bed or with someone who can carry you. The former preparation would be my recommendation. You can milk ginger, cinnamon, and sugar of some type to make it more palatable but it still will taste fairly bad.

Dreamroot tea. It can't be any worse than the sludge they served on this little planet way out in the far reaches of the galaxy. And if it helps with the nightmares...

[She lets the statement hang. She'll do anything to stop the nightmares.]

Yes. More like matcha than English tea, but yes.

[ And matcha probably tasted much better. ]

When would you like to try it?

[Martha ruffles her hands through her hair as she looks at the root.]

Am I allowed to try it now? Five hours is good sleep; another eight would do me wonders.

Yes, if you wish.

[ He'll probably double himself to keep an eye on her and guide her once she's asleep but he's not too worried about it. ]

Well then. I guess we need heated water.

[She was going to have to get a proper kettle somehow. As it was, she slipped out of bed to go search for a cup even.]

We do yes.

[ he could create a cup and water, but he created the dreamroot, she can get a teacup and water. ]

[Teacup and water were easy. Martha had scrounged a teacup, but the best she could do was kind of warm water. Not exactly hot.]

I can't do any better without a kettle.
