I've had a thought, Kore--because I do that, occasionally, when I'm not too busy drinking. We've had a lot of new arrivals turn up injured lately, and also a number of re-arrivals with nasty wounds. What about a few of us volunteering as a quick-response group for these occasions? A welcoming committee for the bruised and bleeding, as it were.

I don't know whether the infirmary is equipped for overnight stays, so someone will have to inform me. I'm afraid to go look. If not, maybe some sort of temporary shelter would be appropriate, as well.

...

...And on a completely unrelated note, could the person who's been painting murals of birds around town pretty please come forward? I want to shake your hand.

Whyever not? It would add much-needed levity to a stressful situation. Anyway, I've already got someone calling me Snowball.

[There's a split second's pause as he absorbs the pun, and then he breaks into a ridiculous grin.] That's magnificent. If I ever meet an Anita Drink I'm going to propose on the spot.

I'm picturing a tired detective, for some reason.

[Darby would have killed her for that one, but - he's not here! And she does chuckle, this time.]

Snowball. Are you amassing a nickname collection? I suppose we could go for Captain Dashing...

[tryingitall]

With a fedora and everything? I like it.

I like nicknames, but I've only got a few. Does that constitute a collection? But I was never a captain. Lieutenant Dashing, perhaps.

[blackmagus]

A few is more than most people have.

[...unless they spend a lot of time with Fortescue.]

Lieutenants don't get much love, do they? Perhaps that's all the better.

[tryingitall]

But I do like to collect things. Perhaps I'll advertise for more.

More nicknames, I mean. Not more love. Although I suppose I'd take that, too... [Grin.]

[blackmagus]

[She smiles, winks.]

I'm sure you'd find it. Is there much else here to collect?

[video]

[tryingitall]

I suppose not. But there's not much else worth having at home, either, so I'll run with it.
