day 225 | xiii ❧ potluck mingle!

[ this is her first time doing one of these without gran, and something she thought was going to be difficult for those very reasons is actually rather therapeutic, heartwarming -- a glance back at her roots, back when she was just adele stackhouse's weird granddaughter and not that fae who mingles with vampires. sookie contributes a few dishes from her gran's old recipes, along with something lafayette taught her to make. she's got all the tables in this part of trois park covered with checkered table clothes of varying colors, lots of plastic silverware, paper plates, cups, and napkins at the ready, and a stack of picnic blankets folded up on one of the benches for those who wish to sit on the grass instead of at a table. sookie even brought a long a mesh bag full of sports equipment -- or rather, a couple frisbees, a football, soccer ball, basketball, and even some hacky sacks. (she's not the sports type, but jason would always be off playing something with the other guys.)

hopefully she didn't leave anything out. hopefully this will help cheer everyone up some, both the new arrivals and those still dealing with the days they spent in that other prison. ]

	[ she's careful to side-step as soon as she notices the person next to her, but it's a close call on both accounts. whether she takes note of anything odd about him, she doesn't show it, her only concern being the sound of his voice. she frowns. ] No harm done, but... are you all right?

	Fine. [His tone clearly says otherwise, both in congested raspiness and in sheer bitterness.] Perfect. Who wouldn't be thrilled to be stuck here in this weather? [He speaks as if he's not expecting a response, but rather just grumbling to hear himself grumble.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know a fair few who wouldn't. For me it depends on the day. [ she'll just keep up a light, conversational tone. ] And, of course, whether or not I have to go out in it. I find a good hot drink tends to cure most cold-weather-related ills. [ assuming he's not actually sick... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm on food restriction. [He coughs into his hand.] Otherwise, that was my thought exactly. A good cup of coffee sounds better than heaven. [Nothing like someone to whine at, even if it is a stranger. He's too feverish and phlegmy to care, really.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah... Perhaps that's something to save for a time when you're not. [ she'd disagree on the coffee part, but to each their own. ] I'm assuming this ban isn't for too long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Seven days. Just for getting injured. [It's not as easy to tell since his voice is a clogged mess, but definitely some extra bitterness in there. It's not like he asked to be carted to their precious hospital.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Hardly the first case I've heard of being punished for getting injured. [ and by the sound of her voice, she's not entirely pleased by this. ] What day are you on by now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2013-07-13 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	Four, I think. [A roll of his eyes.] It wasn't even my fault. Some idiot took me to the hospital, I didn't ask for it. But it's not worth my breath to explain it to those jerks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We do have a clinic now. In case something happens again and you'd rather not be taken somewhere you'd be punished for going in. [ granted, the clinic's supposed to be for small injuries only, but helen has the expertise to deal with even severe things and certainly wouldn't begrudge someone their first choice of treatment locations. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He hesitates at the offer. It is nearly ideal should he prove unable to heal himself again, but there is, of course, the little matter of...]

[Well. No easy way to explain it, so he lowers his hood just long enough to reveal that his skin is made of smooth, perfectly alined, slate-grey stone.]

[The hood is back in place before he speaks again.] I don't think you could do much with me.

[ if he's expecting her to be offended, frightened, or angry about what he shows her, he'll be in for a huge disappointment. the only sign she shows that he's caught her attention at all is the note of interest in her eyes as she glances over him, but it's controlled interest, barely there and certainly not the sort a mad scientist or doctor would show. ]

Actually, that places you right inside my area of expertise. I specialize in all degrees of medicine, for both humans and non-humans. You could call it my life's work to help anyone I can.

[ in a manner of speaking. there are other details to it -- namely the goal to protect one from the other -- but those are hardly important here. ]

[He's not entirely sure if he was just called "non-human" in the most polite way possible. But he's too tired to take any real offense.]

[Instead he sighs. He's tried and tried here to find a cure for his condition, and it never gets anywhere but bad places.] I'm a chimera.

[He glances her way, wondering if that will ring a bell. If not, it's clear she couldn't help.]

[ considering some of her closest friends aren't human, it's actually a compliment. no offense was meant at all. the name is familiar, but she wonders if it's different in his world from hers. either way... fascinating, but it can't be very comfortable for him. ]

Also well within my studies.

[ both sides, really. it just depends which one he's referencing. judging by sight, she has a feeling she knows which one, but as she's told many people looks can be deceiving. ]

	[If he had eyebrows, they would be raised up to his hairline.] Really? You know about Chimera? [Not the most intelligent of responses, but he's shocked.] Do you know how to undo a merge? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ it's all right. she's had similar experiences. ] I've never had personal experience with one, so unfortunately my answer is 'no' as of the current time. I am, however, willing to look into it for you, if you'd like. [ she won't do anything without his permission, though. that would go against everything she stands for. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_incurable 2013-07-23 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	[It would be nearly impossible for anyone to do something to him without permission, short of a god or demon. Which is why he's enthusiastic enough about her offer.] Yes. Absolutely. If you think you can find something, I'd want to hear it. I've been looking for a cure for over seven years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He can hardly believe his luck! Someone who knows about Chimera and might help him...!]

[He stops himself, unwilling to get his hopes up only to have them dashes yet again. This is a very old song and dance by now, and it never ever ends well.]

I'm Zelgadis Greywars. If you ever have any theories I'd like to hear them. There's no money here, but I'll find some way to repay you.

[ she makes no promises. if they were back in the sanctuary, it wouldn't be a problem at all. but here she doesn't have the equipment. just her knowledge. even so, she'll do what she can to help. ]

Dr. Helen Magnus. [ she raises a hand, a gentle and warm smile on her face. ] It's all right. All I need is to be sure everyone's as safe and happy as possible. Call it... part of my job, my life's work.

[ she's a doctor and a scientist, but first and foremost, she cares about every last one of her patients, no matter who or what they are. ]

	[He is silent for far longer than it should take to come up with a response. This sort of kindness makes him uncomfortable for a number of reasons. He wants his cure, but he's not ready to like anyone else, yet.] [Finally, he clears his throat.] We'll work something out. Do you need to know what I'm... made of? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eventually, whenever you're ready to tell me. [ she won't push him for information he isn't read to give. she would understand his hesitance, as she feels a similar hesitance to become attached to anyone. it's difficult to like people and know or fear it won't last. ] Until that time, I'll do what I can with the information I have.
