Video: It tastes awful. But it works.

[atent_dead]

[The screen shows an elderly woman in the medical bay. She's dressed every inch the stereotypical witch, complete with black pointy hat. She has a bottle filled with some sort of brownish liquid.]

Ain't blind to the trouble goin' 'bout. Some of ye fools are tryin' to pretend ye ain't sick. Just gonna make it all worse.

[But let it not be said she is entirely unsympathetic.]

Got somethin' fer aches 'n' fevers here. Ain't anythin' fer the cause but it'll help fer a bit.

[She makes not promises about the taste]

[Oh hey it's probably the last person you'd expect to respond to this]

FEVERS ARE THE ONES WHEN YOU FEEL OVERLY HOT?

[He's still new to this. Even after Mayfield.]

[atent_dead]

[Oh what new manner of nonsense is this?]

It is. Don't tell me yer feelin' it.

[likescats]

SOMEHOW, I BELIEVE THE ANSWER IS YES.

[This is how messed up the place is Granny, Death is sick. Glands or no.]

[ex_striking429]

Medicine?

[ she like the sight of the evil liquid in that bottle a lot more than the sterile injections of medbay. it's far more what she's used to. ]

[atent_dead]

Tried 'n' true medicine.

[ex_striking429]

Are you charging?

[fertilefeet]

Sick? Is that why I feel a bit miserable?

[She has no idea what being sick is. That's a human thing, she's an elf. This is weird. And wrong.]

video

[atent_dead]

Ye lot don't, normally?

[Elves. Never was a fan.]

Whole ship's been gettin' sick.

video

[fertilefeet]

No, never. At least, never that I have known.

We certainly do not. [Which is not exactly a convincing statement, since it's immediately followed by a sneeze.] It is an impossibility.

[Well. That hat's a bit much for him, but hey—elderly witches can wear whatever, whenever they like, especially when they come bearing gifts. Behold now his miserable young face.]

This is most generous of you, madam. [How pale he is. What sad eyebrows. So pathetic. Help him.] I'd gladly accept a draught of greater potency than those brewed for... erm, more common men, should you be willing to provide it.

[Who's gonna tell her she can't, really?]

Y'ain't human then.

[She's not terribly fussed by it. She just needs to know how strong to make it.]

[seidhr]

[He sure won't. That aside, her statement prompts a fleeting smile, the glint of his teeth.]

Far from it—this tonic must be fit for a god.

[ Look, it's this kid again. Who looks moderately awful, on account of - a skinny kid losing weight is such a lovely idea! but still seems chipper enough. ]

Thanks for the offer. Um. Is anyone working on the cause?

[atent_dead]

Lotsa folk here are. But we can do somethin' until we find it.

Pointy hats and witches' brews, it's like the Dark Ages all over again.

[Because that stuff seriously looks like something disgusting. Disgusting like only things made by humans can be. Not that Lucifer has a whole lot of room to talk, because he's not exactly looking like roses and sunshine himself.]

Are you going to start handing out leeches next?

video

[atent_dead]

Lights're workin' just fine.

[The Disc can be a bit... literal. SHe's almost insulted by his next comment.]

Leeches're nonsense. Herbs work.

[wentdowntogeorgia]

And your kind thought for a very long time that mercury worked for pretty much everything, so pardon my skepticism about home remedies.

[summerlord]

[Another sick elf. Hello.]

What is in your remedy?

video

[atent_dead]

Mostly willow bark. Bitta valerian 'n' yarrow too.

[It's no great secret. Unless a great secret seems like it will make the patient more cooperative.]

video

[summerlord]

How did you brew it?

[dogbane]

Oi Oi Ms. Weatherwax.

[They hadn't gotten to know each other well from the medbay, but he at least knew enough to be impressed and intimidated and immensely curious. He's only a doctor trainee himself, with a side of psychic healing-- none of which is wont to do more than her medicine.]

Would you be comfortable distributing out of the medbay as well? If Petrelli will sign off.

[atent_dead]

Witchin' usually means bringin' it to folk. Sick folk don't usually come to ye like they do here.

[starshipranger]

Oh! I know you! Miss Mistress Weatherwax!

[Excuse him as he goes a bit dizzy. He's so flushed he's almost as red as his bug body and he's sweating up a storm.]

Sorry. Excuse me. I... don't feel so good. I'm all hot and wet. Is that normal?

video;

[atent_dead]

It's happenin' to everyone. But it ain't normal.
