Deep Blue

[Whatevr89532]

"Well...step three, first of all." The holo-panel spell, which doesn't appear to have been damaged by someone going straight through it, has switched titles to "Curaza". With a couple more bips on it, the energy making it up turns into a bunch of white magic and rushes over to the dragon lord, taking on a healing effect which is about as far up on a logarithmic scale from curaga as curaga is from cure. The effect on this particular set of injuries should be just enough to make her properly conscious and able to talk, but still in too much pain to move around or cast anything extravagant. "It's hard to decide what to do while she's still unconscious," continues the werewolf while the spell does its work.

[AmbushCat]

*Whatevr might note that for whatever reason, the ten slash marks on Acutus's upper torso are resisting the healing effects. The lost scales, too, aren't coming back. For the rest of the injuries, though, it seems to be working as it should be.*

Ergh... ...ugh... *eyes open a fraction, then squeeze shut as she snarls* Aaagh...! Can't... feel my... everything!

[Whatevr89532]

Her tail wagging eagerly, the werewolf girl walks over into the dragon lady's area of vision and bends over, hands on her knees. "Well, well~. You forgot Qui-gon's law. There's always a bigger fish."

[AmbushCat]

*hisses in pain every few words* Lean closer...so I can bite you... Yoda!

[Whatevr89532]

Whatevr sits down, cross-legged. "Is that any way to thank the one who pulled you out of the lake and healed you? I have some ideas on how to fix the rest of your wounds, but if you're just gonna be like that~..."

[Raleigh]

Now now, no need to be rude to the wolf lady, little miss dragon. *Raleigh stands back to see what will happen here.* *To himself.* After all, much better I let you be healed up before pressing you into a far worse punishment than mere pain.

[AmbushCat]

*Acutus glares over at Raleigh, cringing as she shivers a little; she clearly remembers the voice from earlier. After a moment, her eyes turn back towards Whatevr.*

...Continue.

"I just wanted to make sure you understand first, this is a world populated by a lot of high level entities, like the one that beat you up and that one over there," (pointing vaguely at Raleigh). "I'm a third party interested in indirectly causing mischief, so if I heal you and you get yourself killed or near-killed immediately thereafter it'll be a real disappointment. 'Kay?"

[AmbushCat]

Don't take me... for a fool. 2,000 years... I've been wandering. Ghhhh... I know high-level... when I see it. That little... pearly shrimp was anything... but high-level!

[Whatevr89532]

"What, you've never heard of the 'over nine thousand' incident? There is such a thing as hiding one's true power...or just being clever with relatively little power." Whatevr moves closer, producing a powerful healing paste made using a bunch of potent medicicinal herbs and alchemy, and tries rubbing it on the magic-resisting cuts if not prevented.

[AmbushCat]

I am completely...! *snarls a curse as the healing paste makes contact with her wounds* ...serious! ...No muscle! ...No magic! ...No energy! ...No tech enhancemeeennttsss!!! *voice gets high-pitched and screechy on her last syllable; gasps out the next sentence* ... ...Abso...lutely nothing... on... the senses!

[Whatevr89532]

"Hmm, well if it hurts I can be pretty sure it's working at least. That's good. Anyway, how long were you on this world before deciding to provoke someone? Like two seconds? If you asked around or...like, listened you'd probably hear tales of the Shopping Queen. Rumors are a helpful gauge for people with otherwise well-hidden talents." Whatevr uses some quieter magic on any remaining wounds that accept it while continuing to apply the paste to the tough ones. "Look at me. I resemble a low level mage with moderate natural shapeshifting. But in truth I am a soulless husk channeling something with its finger on the pulse of the universe. Or something dramatic like that."

[AmbushCat]

They'd barely...summoned me... to this plane... for five @&*%^ minutes... and that was... to deal with... that blank-staring kid... first thing! Sexy kitty... hit me out... of nowhere!

*Those present can hear Viridi having a cackling fit at Acutus's description of Callista, as if it were the funniest thing in the world.*

[Raleigh]

*Is currently laughing himself.* Well, I suppose if you are only two millennia old that is an easy mistake to make.

[AmbushCat]

Give or take... a handful of decades...!
