Who: Hieke & You
What: Infirmary catch-all & a call for help
Where: The infirmary & elsewhere on campus
When: February
Warnings: Potential discussions of injury, probably.


a; the necessities

[The infirmary has seen a lot in the first month of the quarter alone - friends were born here and eventually taken away, people have been sick and injured and that's not even including the injuries people didn't go to the infirmary for. But come February, Hieke is a little bit more prepared for things. The infirmary is kept as tidy as ever, and he's even decorated for the holiday!

There are vases filled with flowers on his desk, and he's awkwardly taped some heart shaped decor to the wall. There was an attempt and that accounts for everything, even if he doesn't know anything about Valentine's Day.

However, the infirmary isn't only for the sick or injured. Students taking Hieke's class are more than welcome to stop by to ask for help or ask general questions - there's an office set aside for him, but he spends all of his hours in the infirmary anyways. It's the best place to catch him.]

b; the network (un: hieke)

Good afternoon.

I'm sorry to bother everyone, but I'm looking for something. A mushroom - native to the Outlands - that's not dangerous or anything, just a little mischievous. It managed to find out how to open the windows in my room, and now it's loose and locate and summoning magic were something I never spent much time studying.

It's about a foot tall, with a pale orange cap, so it should be pretty distinct. If you see it, please let me know! And mind the spores.

c; the wildcard

[If you want anything else or need Hieke for anything, let me know!]

Comments

[yokeye]

[He doesn't even remember the wording.]

I acknowledge the possibility of a loophole along those lines~! Maybe we'd all learn about those loopholes if you'd only stay on topic in your lectures~!

[He's going to hang out in here for the rest of day.]

Now, let's for a minute return to the fact you ate a soul that disagreed with you! How does that happen!? What makes them tastes bad or bring illness? Are there different levels of tainted souls!? Could you taste what kind of curse it was!? Just how bad was it!? The worst thing you've ever eaten!?

[subconmodo]

[This is hell. He has finally died and gone to hell. He deserves it, but he didn't think it would come this soon. Or ever.]

[He groans]

I don't know. Some kind of curse on it or something? I didn't put it on the thing, just ripped off a piece that was already there.

[He doesn't even want to think about the state he'd be in if he'd gotten the whole thing.]

And considering that I feel like I'm vomiting up the majority of my insides, I'd rate this a solid "god awful."

[yokeye]

[He never pictured souls as tangible enough for pieces to be taken, more like smoke tendrils or something.]

What happens to someone when you've eaten part of their soul!? They could be suffering as much as you do, a hole inside them they can never fill~! Just because you wanted a snack!

[Avery looks terrible and like he might die any second.]

This is karma~!

[subconmodo]

If it hadn't struggled, maybe it would have been lucky and I would have eaten it whole.

[ugh. the thought of it is making him nauseous all over again. He rubs at his face.]

Whatever. If it's karma for me, then it's karma for it attacking a student, too.

[yokeye]

It attacked a student!?

[That's making this much less of a fun conversation.]

[subconmodo]

Yes. And I happened to be in the area so I stepped in. That's what teachers are generally expected to do.

[mostly it was for forbidden snack, but hey]

Whatever those things are, they're becoming quite the annoying little plague.

[yokeye]

[He was going to say something relatively nice about helping the students, but then the mention of a plague just makes him realize how close he is to someone vomiting tainted soul that may be infectious.]

I'm gonna go now!

[Without explanation, he's gone.]

[subconmodo]

[Avery stares after him, but then shakes his head and shrugs, pausing briefly to get rid of another mouthful of curse and roll back over to try and sleep the sickness away.]

[That kid is so weird.]
